One bag. One action. Global impact.
The ocean is under pressure. Plastic pollution is set to triple by 2060.
But together, we have the power to change that.
Our mission
A simple, powerful movement uniting the superyacht community, individuals, crew, companies and families – taking action where they can and where it matters.
Your mission
Clear just one bag of litter per person from your local beach, coastline, river, park or forest. One bag is all it takes to be part of something bigger.
In 2025 nearly 500 volunteers across 40 locations worldwide played their part, from New York to Norway, removing hundreds of bags of waste from the environments that we all depend on.
In 2026, we go further.
Running from 3 April to World Oceans Day (8 June), this year’s campaign expands to two full months. Building on Vripack’s New Wave campaign with US-based North Sails, it creates more opportunities to act, involve your teams, and make a lasting difference.
