Plastic Avengers Conference Amsterdam 2019 - Pakhuis de zwijger
February 8th - 2019To unite the independant fighters in the greater battle against plastic we organised the first conference to empower the existing community.
My current adventure:
Pick up 10
This is the ‘data-revolution’ that gives us the power to confront policy makers and companies. New innovations in photo recognition make it easy, we make it fun. Picking up litter is now a call for change!
Join the movement!The Plastic Soup Surfer fights plastic pollution using his surfboard as a weapon. His campaigns combine plastic pollution awareness with creativity, innovation and constructive calls to action.
Previous adventures:
-
Our bottle odyssey
A foil-windsurfing expedition on a board 3D printed from littered plastic bottles. From the Seine river to Rhine rivermouth. See more
-
The resolution
With 60.000 signatures we urged the government to add a deposit fee to plastic bottles. See more
-
Sending bailiffs
World first use of bailiffs to confront CEOs of plastic producing companies. See more
Achievements
In the spring of 2018 the Dutch parliament instated new policy that will see Deposit Fee on small plastic bottles by 2021 thus preventing tens of millions of bottles entering our environment every year. This policy was based on the ‘Plastic Soup Surfer resolution’ that was adopted a year earlier.
Let’s do something!
We are starting to drown in our plastic pollution. It is endangering all life on earth. We need to act now.
Take action!Social

“These kind of actions want to cure the image of plastic. ... – the exaggerated use of it in products with a short lifespan is a problem in itself” @rob_buurman - Cynisch hoe olie producenten zichzelf profileren om plastic probleem te bestrijden... twitter.com/TomZoete/statu…
We moeten gaan opschieten! Straks haalt Turkije ons in: hebben ze eerder statiegeld op kleine flesjes en blikjes dan wij!

Fijn wat positief nieuws weer eens! (Want de moed kan ook mij soms in de schoenen zakken...)

‘Willen we de Ocean Cleanup zien falen?’
Boyan en de catharsis.

Scene from ‘message on a bottle’ - the 180km record attempt crossing of the North Sea on a kite foil board (visibly made from plastic bottles) and the start to a petition to demand depositors on small plastic bottles in the Netherlands (which resulted in a resolution and policy !)
But also the first team up with film director @eelkedekker - who is currently editing our third movie together; “Plastic paradox” to be released this spring. A movie on our convenience society, plastic pollution and the fight for change.
