We’re on a mission to help people live more sustainably -by reducing plastic pollution at source. Making it easier to find FREE tap water when out and about. So carrying a reusable bottle and refilling with tap water becomes the new norm again.
New Zealand is failing our oceans – and the world is watching.
We’re still bottom trawling seamounts, protecting less than 1% of our seas, shelving sanctuaries & ignoring deep-sea mining risks.
We must do better. Protect 30% by 2030 – starting now.
