Our Goal
To remove single-use plastics (SUP) from US national parks - one program at a time, one park at a time.
The larger hope is that visitors to these eventually SUP-free parks will return to their communities and become advocates for the ease with which a SUP-free transition can be made on a larger scale - and the urgency with which we need to make it.
Why National Parks?
Because they’re uniquely-positioned to be influencers on the issue of single-use plastic.
Visitors come to National Parks predisposed to embrace nature, willing to endure a higher level of depredation than they would in their normal lives, and often leave as evangelists for the sanctity of our wild spaces - for what John Muir called “going home“. Weaning the public of single-use plastics in their wild “home”, could, through dispersal of ideas, be an incremental solution that leads to macromental change.
How Do We Do It?
Expose, Educate, Inspire
Expose national park visitors to what a SUP-free world could look like, educate them about the nature of the problem, and then inspire them with awe-inducing nature to go back to their communities and be a catalyst for change.
