THE PARLEY GLOBAL CLEANUP NETWORK
A GLOBAL ALLIANCE TO END MARINE PLASTIC POLLUTION
The Parley Global Cleanup Network is an alliance of organizations taking direct action against marine plastic pollution. Our cleanup collaborations remove plastic waste from beaches, remote islands, rivers, mangroves and high seas, and intercept ocean-bound plastics in coastal communities.
Together with our partners, we respond to plastic emergencies, raise awareness, and develop and implement programs that can help end the cycle of pollution long-term. Parley cleanup collaborators and volunteers share our vision for solutions and champion the Parley AIR Strategy:
AVOID PLASTIC WHEREVER POSSIBLE
INTERCEPT PLASTIC WASTE
REDESIGN THE MATERIAL ITSELF
Every country faces a unique set of challenges in responding to plastic pollution and related ocean threats. Partnering with local NGOs, government and state agencies, private businesses, waste management and logistical partners, marine experts and educational institutions allows us to work with the strengths of each community and approach solutions from all angles.
A beach cleanup is a powerful tool for raising awareness, collecting data and removing immediate threats to sea life and human health. But to end marine plastic pollution for good, solutions are needed at the sources of pollution. Therefore, in addition to cleanups, plastic waste interception and recycling programs, initiatives of the Parley Global Cleanup Network aim to educate and empower communities and especially youth to participate in creating change.
THE PROBLEMS OUR OCEANS FACE
Over 10 million metrics tons of plastic trash ends up in our oceans every year. Plastic pollution is now so ubiquitous, it’s found from the deepest ocean trenches to the highest mountain peaks, in all levels of the food web and even our own bodies. The problem is everywhere, in everything.
If we fail to clean up the plastic and stop the continued pollution of the oceans, we are facing the potential extinction of many sea life species and the interruption of the entire ecosystem.
We see the key to ending marine plastic pollution in collaboration. Nobody can solve this problem alone.
