Every year, an estimated 8 million tons of plastic enter the world’s oceans. That means every minute, the equivalent of a full garbage truck of trash is dumped into the sea. And by 2050, scientists say the world’s oceans will have more plastic in them than fish. Even today, marine plastic is a massive problem because fish try to eat it and die, which unbalances the food chain, damaging our delicate global ecosystem. Run For The Oceans is our response.
Here’s how it works: from June 8–16, 2019, we’re putting out the call for runners worldwide to log kilometers in the Runtastic and Joyrun apps. Every kilometer recorded = $1 for Parley Ocean School to educate our youth on how to tackle the marine pollution problem, capped at $1.5 million. There’s no set distance you have to run, no set route you have to follow. Register for free via the Runtastic or Joyrun apps, and be a part of the movement.
Go, go, go!
Terresa =)
