What was it?
Together with the NGO OceanCare, communities across Europe collected trash and turned it into visuals and performances for the 3rd UN Ocean Conference in Nice. A wave of change grew city by city.
Where?
Lisbon, Porto, Barcelona, Zurich, Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Brussels and Nice.
Who joined?
Communities in eight cities, together with The Trash Traveler and OceanCare. The tour collected signatures and promoted the OceanCare petition “Because Our Planet Is Blue”, which was delivered to the UN Ocean Conference.
The wider ocean issue
Six ocean topics came up at the stops: stop drilling for oil and gas in the ocean, cleaner and slower ships, no more harmful fishing, a world plastics treaty, a pause on deep-sea mining, and more protected ocean areas, including the open ocean.
How you can take part
Bring a trash-art workshop or tour stop to your city.
