    Story

    The World has no remote control. If there's something you don't like, get up and change it yourself!

    I have worked in marine and terrestrial conservation for 6 years and I'm not OK with the amount of rubbish making its way into our waterways and the sea.

    So, I've decided to do something about it. I'm going to cycle my homemade bamboo bicycle around the world, giving plastic pollution workshops in schools and organising beach and river cleans; with the end goal of raising awareness about plastic pollution and changing peoples' consumer choices and littering habits.

    I'm currently raising money to buy a licence to show a 22 minute version of the documentary 'A Plastic Ocean' in schools, and to buy reusable equipment for beach cleans. I hope I can help in some way to spread the amazing work of these organisations as I go; Plastic Oceans , Kids Against Plastic , City to Sea , Water-to-go and I am sure I'll find other awesome companies along the way too. Every little helps, as they say. I am unbelievably grateful for anything anyone might like to chip in.

    My longer term goal is to make treadlighter into a non-profit action organisation... this trip is just the beginning...

    It's not too late, there is hope and we CAN make a difference.
