This year people across the world are focusing on a specific goal in honor of Earth Day: End Plastic Pollution. Plastic pollution is one of the most important environmental problems that we face today, and this international effort aims to eliminate single-use plastics and achieve global regulation for the disposal of plastics.
SeaChange is committed to proactively being a part of the solution, and we’re launching our own campaign that includes educational tools, a park cleanup day, initiatives to reduce our own plastic pollution footprint, and a reusable tumbler or glass cup for clients.
