Did you know that marine pollution starts on the ground?
Indeed, 80% of the plastic that pollutes our seas comes from inland areas. Carried through rivers and streams, litter ends up in the open Ocean, threatening marine ecosystems and water quality. 💦

Building on this observation, Surfrider Foundation Europe’s Plastic Origins program aims at mapping plastic waste located in rivers, thus providing data to end this pollution right at its source.

Whether you are a walker, hiker, kayaker or simply curious, you can contribute to the preservation of the Ocean from inland.
So don't wait any longer... Grab your smartphone and join the Plastic Origins adventure. 🤳
