When we caught up with Hans and Nick Schippers, they were traveling down the West Coast in a converted school bus, changing the way we educate our future generations about environmental issues by visiting schools and teaching kids about the negative impact of plastic pollution. They did this by forging and leveraging strategic partnerships with organizations like the Parley for the Oceans advocacy group and Sustainable Coastline Hawaii, to bring their message into these coastal communities that are the most affected. They have reached over 25,000 kids with their unique curriculum which includes workshops, speaking engagements, and beach cleanups. 25% of the schools they visit implement action to reduce plastic pollution in their institutions. Hans and Nick Schippers are just getting started but have already done so much to inspire and elevate, and to raise awareness about the threat to what may arguably be the Earth’s most precious and important gift…the ocean. Tune in to learn more about these pioneers of environmental advocacy and action!
