WE ZOOM!  JOIN US....

Dear Rotary and Rotaract fellows all over the world,

We are all fighting this Covid19, therfore EndPlasticSoup offers you online presentations to inform your club what Rotary and Rotaract Clubs can do in the world to end plastic waste in our lakes, rivers, forests, streets and oceans by 2050.

Together we improve AWARENESS, take ACTIONS, educate, and work with ALLIANCES!
EndPlasticSoup has example action packages for your club how to start.

Last week we presented our powerpoint to 50 German and Mexican Rotarians by
ZOOM, and we are very willing to do a presentation for your club as well. Just organize a zoom or skype or any video call meeting and invite one of us via endplasticsoup@gmail.com

Hang in there, we do hope you are doing fine, and keep yourselves and loved ones safe! 1,5 meter distance!
Please share our Newsletter in your network. It is safe.
Update of your and our actions in the past months:
EndPlasticSoup was present at District Conferences (The Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland) in February and March, at the Rotary India Centennial Summit 2020 to celebrate 100 years of Rotary India in Calcutta, and the Pre- REM (Rotaract European Meeting) in Italy last October.
Rotary and Rotaract Clubs take action: You installed 2 biobarriers in Benque viejo, Belize, 3 Flavo Fishes in Sicily Italy, clean ups of  the  Russian River in California, the Nile near Cairo, the Santiago River in Mexico, beaches in The Netherlands (Rotaract) and in Italy, and bays in Norway, educate children f.i. in Sebastopol, Mallorca and Huizen.
We create alliances with: The Great Bubble Barrier, Clear Rivers, Plastic Fantastic, Precious Plastic, UN Environment Programme, WWF, The Ocean Cleanup, Trashpackers, The Happy Activist, The Plastic Soup Server, Happy Green World, Plastic Soup Foundation and more.
And also important: we had fun, with our Rotary Club, family, schools, colleagues and friends, cleaning our environment. Please help and join as Member Club to grow our movement and tell your story in your local community, and create local alliances.
We are happy to welcome our Ambassador Clubs from: Spain, Norway, Hawaii, Kenia, India, Russia, Italy, Germany, Switzerland and Egypt, representing EndPlasticSoup in their communities.
EndPlasticSoup
 
was started by the Clubs of Amsterdam, is addressing the end-to-end reduction, prevention and removal of plastic pollution in our environment. It is a global initiative, already supported by more than 3500 Rotarians from 800 Rotary & Rotaract clubs to beat plastic pollution.

Our ambition: In 2050 there is no more plastic soup in our oceans and seas and no more plastic waste in our rivers, lakes, parks & streets. Rotary Clubs worldwide contribute to solve the plastic waste problem.

Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change — across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.
