Three years ago I was training for the ‘North Sea crossing’. It launched the Plastic Soup Surfer advocacy work. Plastic awareness is now at an all time high. What we need now is real change: concrete action and a different approach to plastic!

‘Overal ter wereld regent het microplastic’
We plastificeren onze planeet(!)
Om plastic vervuiling te stoppen moeten we op een fundamenteel anderen manier met #plastic omgaan.

Congratulations to Kiran Badloe for becoming European Champion windsurfing! Mad respect! :) He beat Dorian van Rijsselberghe, who won the silver medal.

Must see! National television last night - on why we don’t succeed in having deposits on small implemented in the Netherlands. And the role the Plastic Soup Surfer played in the discussion.
Must see! : https://nos.nl/l/2279789
Very interesting and at the same time troubling.
Today another debate in parliament. Hopefully this broadcast helps.

Kijk (en deel) de uitzending van @nieuwsuur over ‘waarom statiegeld alsmaar niet wordt ingevoerd’.
Hier te vinden: nos.nl/l/2279789
Morgen (donderdag) is het Algemeen Overleg in de Tweede Kamer - de druk kan niet hoog genoeg.
Ook op grote flessen moet statiegeld blijven!
Ik moet altijd aan George Baker denken als het over het over Anna Paulowna gaat - maar dit keer vertoon ik er onze film! 25 april om 20u. Hoop je daar te ontmoeten! twitter.com/ZwerfieAnnaP/s…
Super mooi! twitter.com/070KlimaatPact…
Valt #ajax tegen of hou je niet van voetbal? Kijk @nieuwsuur!
