PARLEY A.I.R. STRATEGY
AVOID. INTERCEPT. REDESIGN.
The Strategy to End Marine Plastic Pollution
Plastic is a design failure. Once produced, it never dies, and a massive amount of it enters the oceans daily. A lack of imagination got us into this mess. Creativity and collaboration can guide us out. To address the fast-growing threat of marine plastic pollution, Parley for the Oceans devised a strategy that can be scaled across private households, governments, and corporations—and the creative industries that mold the reality we inhabit. Realized in three key pillars of action, Parley AIR is an invitation to own your role in the movement for solutions.
