Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit Plastic Oceans Foundation Canada, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

Understanding it may be a difficult time to donate, we are offering you a circular economy solution to support Plastic Oceans Canada (POC) with the long term goal of cleaning Canada coast to coast to coast. 




A $10,000,000 goal has to start somewhere!

Check out our World Oceans Day Newsletter to learn more about Canada's waterways.

The first step towards achieving this is through truly evaluating what is out there and how to re-purpose the materials found. Avoiding landfills, which inevitably leads back to our oceans.

While our environment has been able to repair itself in some areas throughout the COVID crisis, we have seen an increase in litter, which means we have gone backwards!


All donations of:

$30
 - Receive a recycled plastic trucker hat, with the Make Canada Clean Again logo. Including shipping anywhere in Canada. (First 100 donations will include a a FREE Forkanife from Cold4ged )

$50 - Additional surprise gift to eliminate single use plastics  WITH  a recycled plastic trucker hat, with the Make Canada Clean Again logo. Including shipping anywhere in Canada.

$150 - 5 pack of hats including shipping anywhere in Canada, perfect for families, offices and friends.

$300 - 10 pack of hats including shipping anywhere in Canada, perfect for teams, retail shops and offices.

In the interest of keeping it simple. All other donation amounts will be considered as good will towards the cause.


With emerging and proven technologies available in Canada, POC will be working on effectively closing the loop on all waste plastics collected.

You can see these solutions with our previous work here 



All funds raised will go towards:

- Remote and uninhabited shoreline clean-ups either accessed by road, or funds permitting, by chartered boat to access the most vulnerable coasts. This ensures social distancing and achieves a normally unattainable deliverable.

- All debris will be locally processed in Canada into alternative fuels and second life products. The fuel made (utilizing all end of life plastics), will power the vehicle(s) either boat or truck, used to access these shores. All value plastics will be made into second life consumer goods.

- The extent and scope of what we can do is endless, we will achieve what we can with what we raise.

- Whatever extent we can achieve this year will contribute to a complete proof of concept and viability report to set a realistic budget for tackling all of Canada coast - coast - coast.

For more information on how you can be the solution you can watch this TEDx talk 


As Plastic Oceans is known for documentary and story telling, we will produce a short documentary explaining the process and breakdown the numbers on IF circular economy solutions can in fact close the loop and break even to clean our remote shorelines.
