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

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
EERLIJK EN EENVOUDIG: HOE GAAN WE LEIDS ONTZET 2019 ZONDER PLASTIC VERVUILING REGELEN?
Het oplossen van de vervuiling door plastic festival bekers is eenvoudig op te lossen. Het vraagt enkel echt leiderschap! Stap over op harde eco-cups en statiegeld.
@3october
Many festival use these single use cups. Many end up on the street... or canals in the case of our historic city of Leiden.
CanalCups fished 2500 of these cups out of the canals after Leidens Ontzet.
Next year they want deposits on these so these cups wont get littered any more! I support them!
We are waking up to the tight grip of plastic in our environment. This is a shift we can easily make.
Lets celebrate Leidens ontzet 2019 without single use plastic cups in our canals.
Heineken, what do you need to help Leiden and the 3 october festival out?! @murkspits

Balen! Zes weken niet kitesurfen volgens de fysio...
Zwaar door mijn enkel gegaan tijdens een vriendschappelijk potje basketball.
Dan is kitesurfen toch veiliger... voor je enkel dan...

Padi Cleanup by Plastic Soup Surfer team member Bart Maes in Indonesia Sumatra together with @padi_ecolodge.
The result 150 plastic bottles and another 3 bags of mixed waste.
We are waking up to the tight grip of the plastic age. We need a change: pressurize legislators and companies to introduce deposit schemes as soon as possible.
Want to help? Pick Up 10 bottles using PickUp10.org or @litterati - we use the photographs to confront companies and policymakers. We need to tackle plastic pollution at the source. And we need your help.

OP HETERDAAD BETRAPT!
Couchsurfende egel komt elke avond kattenbrokjes bikken en nestelt zich dan in een holletje tussen de lappen van de kattenmand.
Vraag me af of die nog gaat winterslapen.

#luilekkerland
Just watch this.
I feel the urge to go even more abroad and reach out to do something about this. Last summer I visited #dollemard near #Lehavre, an eroding landfill. A horrible sight, but this is even worse, because the dumping of layers of plastic is an ongoing process, even today! Please share your thoughts with me!

Veel minder groepen wilde dieren, dat is een slecht teken voor de mens /via @NOS nos.nl/l/2257131
Er schijnt iets raars te zitten in Haags kraanwater. Ons kabinet wil namelijk de BTW verhógen op kraanwater, en BTW verlàgen op gebotteld water!
Dat betekent dus dat water in een fles gesubsidieerd gaat worden. Te gek om los te lopen! Tekenen maar die petitie dus! https://bit.ly/2OQp6DW
“A great example of #CleanSeas 🌊 action from Plastic Soup Surfer Merijn Tinga who paddles & windsurfs against the tide to draw attention to the problem of plastic pollution & bring about real solutions.” Great recognition by UN Environment!

Hoe vaak we deze illegaal ook uitzetten... de egel klautert telkens weer naar binnen door het kattenluik - om zich op te rollen tussen de dekens in de kattenmand.... en snachts vreet hij/zij de kattenbrokjes op ... wat nu!? https://t.co/7D8WyMuilt
