The ocean: The beating heart of our planet
Did you know that earth consists of 71% of water? Were you aware that 81% of plastic in our oceans origionates from land? What role does the ocean play? The ocean produces oxygen, that what most living beings need to survive. Every choice you make influences our planet. Let us join forces to build a healthy future by chosing to adopt a more reduce, reuse recyle attitude.
Reduce, reuse, recycle...your small actions count!
At Christmas time when everyone was busy running around doing their christmas shopping, totally stressed. In our household we decided years ago to adopt the reduce, reuse en recycle vision. Everyone has that one gift (or two) that they received from someone, who you know, chose it with all the right intentions, however it is just not for you. What do you do with it? Throw it away? Put it in a cupboard to gather dust? At Christmas time we decided to wrap them up and using a dice would play a game and managed to regift the gifts to those who actually liked them.
Living and working in the diving industry you need to make sure you stay hydrated. Our reuseable bottles are designed to look fun, carry a clear message and to reduce plastic waste. They are easy to clean therefore can be reused over and over again thus not requiring you to use plastic bottles. Using a filter for your water from the tap you can also get rid of the plastic bottled water.
When chosing a dive operation, chose ones who try to leave as little a carbon footprint as possible. Think about Green fins dive centers.
