Did you know that every year, Canadians send 5.6 million tons of food and food packaging waste to landfill? That’s the equivalent weight of 36,000 adult blue whales - more than double the actual worldwide population! With increasing pressures on our marine ecosystems, the time to tackle the global waste issue is now.
I know that choosing a charity that supports marine conservation & food security can be tough. That’s why I joined as an Impact Ambassador for this cause: to help you give with confidence.
As a marine biologist turned social entrepreneur, I know exactly which charities are making a huge impact in this space. Curious about how I developed this expertise? Read more about me under About the Organizers.
All the money raised will be sent to the following charities based on need:
1. Environmental Youth Alliance
2. Food Stash Foundation
3. Fresh Roots
4. Sea Smart School
Each of these charities has been vetted as high-impact by 1% For the Planet and are partners of Nada. We’ve been working with each of these charities, except for our newest partner EYA, for at least 3 years each.
Several also have a key focus on engaging youth early on. We need to excite & empower the upcoming generations to prioritize & advocate for the environment, marine conservation, and food security.
