Unfortunately our ocean-and the rivers that feed it-are full of plastic trash. So it’s a no-brainer that keeping it clean and healthy is critical to our survival.

WHICH NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS ARE YOU PARTNERING WITH?įor #TeamSeas, we’ve partnered up with Ocean Conservancy and The Ocean Cleanup. What would you like to bring to the party? Think of it as a giant, global potluck for good. At the end of the day, we hope to create a platform that you-anyone reading this-can genuinely claim as your own. Just like the original campaign that inspired it, #TeamSeas is being led by Mark (Rober), Jimmy ( MrBeast) and Campaign Director, Matt Fitzgerald ( We’ve reunited many of the world’s most popular content creators to help launch the campaign, add their creativity and invite their audience to power #TeamSeas toward its ambitious 30M goal. That’s why we need to reduce the amount of plastic we use and waste we generate, period. In cases where contamination of the trash and/or lack of local recycling makes it impossible to reprocess, trash will go to a proper disposal site in accordance with local regulations and capacity. Great question! Wherever and whenever possible, items like cans, glass, and plastic beverage bottles will be separated and recycled. Each non-profit is responsible for delivering on their half of the goal. They split the funds 50/50 and the money will be released when the trash is removed and verified: $1, one pound. When you donate, the funds go directly to the two not-for-profit organizations, Ocean Conservancy and The Ocean Cleanup. We’ll keep the site up and running the whole time (and you can still plant a tree at !).Įvery single dollar #TeamSeas raises toward the $30M will go to independently verified pounds of trash that have been removed from beaches, rivers or the ocean. The funded cleanup work will begin in 2022 and is scheduled to conclude in three years. The $30M fundraising goal officially ends on Januat midnight PT, so we only have a short amount of time to raise the money. (If you’re reading this right now, and you love the ocean, we invite you to create something too). We launched #TeamSeas on Friday, October 29th at 1PM PACIFIC TIME with a massive wave of online videos and we’ll continue to create content to rally our communities throughout the campaign. We’re back again to rally the internet’s passion and imagination in support of the ocean. Even two years later, is still receiving donations and planting 2,600 trees every day. 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 1B video views. It’s also the second wave of the largest creator-led fundraising campaign to ever hit the internet: #TeamTrees. #TeamSeas is a global campaign to raise $30M to remove 30M pounds of plastic and trash from our ocean, rivers and beaches.
