[Videos] TEAMSEAS Donation Campaign to Clean up the Beaches, Rivers and Oceans. October 30, 2021 bizadmin Join us in this #TEAMSEAS campaign to raise funds to clean up the oceans, rivers, and beaches. Now, WHAT IS #TEAMSEAS? Basically, #TeamSeas is a global campaign, to raise $30M, to remove 30M pounds of plastic, and trash from our ocean, rivers, and beaches. It’s also the second wave of the largest creator-led fundraising campaign, to ever hit the internet. For the record, we launched #TeamTrees in 2019, with a goal of raising $20M, to plant 20M trees, and we smashed it—raising over $23M, and generating more than 1 billion video views. Even two years later, TeamTrees.org, is still receiving donations, for planting 2,600 trees every day. We’re back again, to rally the internet’s passion, and imagination, in support of the ocean, and all of us. View this post on Instagram A post shared by DTan (@philin135) WHO IS INVOLVED IN #TEAMSEAS? Just like the original campaign that inspired it, #TeamSeas is being led by Mark (Rober), Jimmy (MrBeast), and Campaign Director, Matt Fitzgerald (@fitz350). WHICH NONPROFIT CHARITIES ARE WE PARTNERING WITH? For #TeamSeas, we’ve partnered up with Ocean Conservancy, and The Ocean Cleanup. All donations to #TeamSeas will be split by the two charities, in equal proportions, 50/50. @sulintan135TEAMSEAS – time to clean up the rivers, beaches, and the seas ##TeamSeas♬ original sound – Su Lin Tan WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH PLASTIC POLLUTION IN OUR WATER? Our oceans, rivers, and beaches are full of plastic trash. It’s estimated that there are 200 million tons of plastic already circulating in marine environments, with an estimated 11 million tons, entering the ocean EVERY YEAR. Pollution from bottles, bags, straws, and abandoned fishing gear, is a health crisis for our entire planet. So, we’re going to remove the equivalent of 85 football fields, covered a foot deep in trash. WHY OCEANS, RIVERS, AND BEACHES? The ocean and the life within it, are incredibly important. Aside from the water we drink, the ocean produces half the air we breathe every day. So, it’s a no-brainer that keeping it clean, and healthy is critical to our survival. But keeping our rivers, and beaches free of trash pollution is just as important. Rivers contribute up to 20% of ocean plastic pollution overall. They are the arteries, that carry waste from land to the ocean, and it’s important we cut off that problem upstream. And trash on beaches can, inevitably make its way, into the water, and harm coastal habitats, which is why, we are focusing our attention on, cleaning up all three. HOW ARE WE ACTUALLY GOING TO CLEAN UP ALL THIS TRASH? We’re glad you asked. Because 30 million pounds, is A LOT of trash. We’re dividing our work among three points, of intervention: beaches, rivers, and oceans. So, how can you help? Simply go to TeamSeas.org to buy your Merch. @sulintan135TeamSeas – Time to clean up the rivers, beaches and the seas. ##TeamSeas♬ Sea Songs – Positive Music
