LITRES OF LITTER CLEANED UP

We love our coasts and oceans and want them litter-free. We clean up beaches and deliver education to prevent litter, particularly single-use plastics.

A boat, a volcano, and the chance to look after the beautiful Hauraki Gulf — sound good to you? As part of the Summernova Festival, we’re taking a boatload of people over to Rangitoto for an island-wide clean-up, and need your help! Come along on Saturday, 27 March, at our Summernova Rangitoto Beach Clean-up. Registrations essential — this one will fill up fast! Link in bio.

Happy International Women's Day! Women's Day is an opportunity to take a moment to join voices and spread awareness for equal rights. We’re stoked at SC to have a growing number of awesome wāhine in our ranks (63% in fact, we just checked!). Let’s celebrate all women including that powerful wahine, Papatūānuku/ Mother Earth!

Repost from our Co-Founder and Programmes Director

Repost from our Co-Founder and Programmes Director @camden.howitt — 31 pieces of plastic picked up in a short walk along Opito Bay. Despite being one of the cleanest beaches in Aotearoa, this is what turns up with a few days of onshore winds and not many people around to pick it up. This mahi ain't over until our beaches are litter-free, the way they should be.
