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.

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
Vertoond op @NatGeoNL, In de Tweede Kamer, bij de VN in Genève en nu al 20 keer op initiatief van particulieren of organisaties vertoond... ‘from source to sea’ de film van @eelkedekker over de expeditie op de Rijn onze visie op plastic vervuiling. Heel trots! #statiegeld

He is not a surfer - but to me he is the SUPER SOUP SURFER; vice president Frans Timmermans. Coming tuesday the European Parliament will vote on his Single Use Plastics Directive which - if adopted - will be of huge importance for the future of Single Use Plastics. It means to ban several items and have Deposits implemented on plastic bottles all over Europe! Huge steps!
Less stuff we find during beach clean ups. More time to have fun and chat!

The Source of the river Rhine - which we were probably the first ever to paddle on (!) - in June 2017. The river Rhine water level is now at a record low due to lack of rainfall.
Our From Source to Sea expedition meant to show how rivers play an important role in the transportation of Plastic pollution. The Plastic problem starts in our own back yards. It is not something abstract to be dealt with in our oceans by cleaning up. It starts with prevention. Deposits on bottles is a very efficient way to prevent a major part of the plastic pollution.

‘Message ON a bottle’ - the first mock ups that finally led to our Bottle board on which we crossed the North Sea in sept 2016
It led to 60.000 signatures resolution to get deposits on small plastic bottles in the Netherlands

The first Plastic Soup Surfboard - made from litter from my local #noordwijk beach. It weighed over 20kg. I surfed it 350km from Belgium to Ameland in 2014. CRAZY!

Think Big. Take small steps.
We were the first to try to foil-kitesurf from The Netherlands (Scheveningen) to England (Lowestoft). We nearly made it.
But more importantly - we managed to collect 60.000 signatures to get deposits on small plastic bottles introduced in the Netherlands. This resulted in a resolution officially adopted by Dutch parliament called the ‘Plastic Soup Surfer resolution’.
You can change things!

My favourite way of traveling! Train, folding bike and a cappuccino... Two presentations today: first of to @hogeschoolwindesheim and then to @naturalismuseum for a tour and presentation. (Did you know you get a 25cent discount at the train station kiosk when you have your own cup with you?) #train

The solution lies in prevention. Deposits on plastic bottles will prevent 90% of all littering and waste mismanagement. Deposits is the financial stimulus at an individual level that will bring about behavioral change.
