Ocean plastic pollution is a fast growing problem. Every year, more than eight million tons of plastic enter our oceans. The plastic pollution is a threat to human health, wildlife and the planet. Most of the plastic is washed into the ocean by rivers in Asia with a high population living in the surrounding region – and with little or no waste management systems.

The NRK Telethon 2020 will tackle plastic pollution at the source by establishing and improving waste management systems for more than 900 000 people living in Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and The Philippines. WWF will work in collaboration with local communities, authorities and businesses, with the aim of collecting and recycling plastic waste and reducing unnecessary single-use plastics, to prevent it from entering the ocean. The overall goal is to reduce plastic waste emissions and protect our oceans. Join us!

We support the campaign that goes to WWF's work to fight plastic in the sea. This year's all-digital campaign is close to our Finnøy heart and will officially be held on 18 October 2020. Until then, we encourage our network to help clean up the beach and tides where you live. We are one of several companies that sponsor NOK 100 for each bag that is filled with plastic. Contact Sunnmøre Friluftsråd for more information and join the fight against plastic in the sea, you too!
