Film Vertoning ‘Source to Sea’
July 19th - 2018National Geographic Beach Cinema. Donderdag 19 juli om 20u in Surfclub Windekind te Oostduinkerke (BE) https://www.facebook.com/events/186664938675262/
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:
-
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

From source to sea
A 1000km Stand Up Paddle expedition showing the role rivers play in plastic pollution transport. 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
WoW - impressive!! 22120 points by @CZappoz with #pickup10 ! Now that is a score to beat! Go try it out... be a hero - Pick up 10 this week with pickup10.org and challenge your friends to do the same! Photos will be used to confront companies and policy makers. twitter.com/czappoz/status…

Rondleiding bij Hordijk verpakkingsproducent in Zaandam met directeur @EricLiebers ; over de mogelijkheden en knelpunten in het gebruik van gerecycled PET in verpakkingen. #plastic #circulareconomy
Na een mooie dag liggen Nederlandse stranden vol met afval /via @NOS @denoordzee @marijkeboonstra nos.nl/l/2240535
The next step in the process from littered-bottle-to-3D-printed-surfboard! We turned 5000 littered bottles people collected from our streets and parks into a few bags of PET flakes which we can now feed to the 3D printer.
Of course we filmed the whole thing for our new documentary in which we zoom in on the relationships between plastic pollution, the convenience society and the Plastic circular economy.
We are a small organisation; that makes us flexible. Being small also means no steady funding: so please support us with €5 for the new expedition! Plastic soupsurfer.org/donate Do it now! Thank you!
Many thanks to Wellman Recycling for facilitating the shredding, washing and separation of our bottles into flakes.

Thanks Enjoycleaningup for helping us out.
Shredded 5000 bottles today at Wellman Recycling in Spijk.

‘STOP STATIEGELD PLAN’ van supermarkten bekend:
1. Wij (vakkenvullers?) ruimen rond supers op, rest van Nederland moet iemand anders doen.
2. We huren @PwC om resultaten aan te vechten.
3. Over half jaar horen jullie weer.
Op naar 70% minder zwerfflesjes!

"er staat geen hek om Nederland, heel veel plastic komt bijvoorbeeld door de rivieren"; dat zegt staatsecretaris Stientje van Veldhoven vandaag in het AD.nl Vandaag is het ook precies een jaar geleden dat de Plastic Soup Surfer na 1000 km peddelen aankwam in Rotterdam - een expeditie om te laten zien wat er meespoelt met de Rijn.
In dit afgelopen jaar is de bewustwording rond plastic vervuiling enorm aangezweld! Trots om onze 'grassroots' boodschap van onze volgers, mede NGO en onszelf nu te horen echoen in kabinetsbeleid.
Vandaag de aankondiging van Stientje van Veldhoven om tot een verbod op 'wegwerp rietjes bestek en borden'. Mooie stap! Maar de strijd is nog niet gestreden - niet hier of in het buitenland. We blijven de aanzwellende golf surfen!
Deze zomer met ons internationale PickUp10.org en het nieuw -eerste ter wereld - 3D te printen windsurfdraagvleugelboard van zwerfflesjes.
Wees deel van onze beweging! We hebben jou nodig! Samen maken we verschil. Steun het ons met een donatie van €5 voor de bouw van dit unieke board op plasticsoupsurfer.org .
Het tij is aan het keren! Kabinet wil plastic-deal: ban op rietjes, bestek en borden -@SvVeldhoven ‘wil niet wachten op eu’ ad.nl/home/kabinet-w…
@philippediercxsens ziet statiegeld als de manier om tot 90% inzameling te komen en ziet dit als kans. https://t.co/JpJbvv7vdU

See you tomorrow! twitter.com/hagueinnovator…
Mooi verslag van een hele mooie dag! Betekenisvol met een groeiende community!
Dit was ook de dag dat ik +4000 flesjes inzamelde voor het nieuwe 3D te printen surfboard... Ga naar plasticsoupsurfer.org en steun de bouw van het board! #stopmetplastic twitter.com/natgeonl/statu…
