Shift method - eXXpedition

In the age of information, competition for attenti

In the age of information, competition for attention is high. How do we make sure we’re engaging people on important issues, like microplastic pollution, in an effective way?

“People want to connect with people,” is a statement echoed by many of our eXXpedition Ambassadors who go on to speak about their experience and educate audiences around the world on the microplastic issue.

Our co-founder @missemilypenn believes it’s not what but how we communicate that makes all of the difference.

Tune into the blog write up from a recent SHiFT Community HUB session when Emily shares her top tips for ways to inspire people into action using a 'feel, think, act' approach.

Have you always wanted to inspire and educate audiences through filmmaking but don’t know where to start?

In a recent SHiFT Community Hub session, our expert Ambassadors, Beccy Finlayson @beccy.fin and Karey Billyard @kbillykbilly agreed that you can start almost anywhere.

There is no single path to filmmaking and whatever skill and passion you already have is likely transferable to at least one area of the art.

Read their tips, tricks and stories in our latest blog post 'How to tell environmental stories on film' #linkinbio

To celebrate World Oceans Day 2022 we’ve added exciting new solutions to our SHiFT Platform @jointheshift_ to help individuals and businesses find their role in solving ocean plastic pollution.

From reusable earbuds to waste-management computing software there’s something for everyone whether you’re a boat owner, enthusiastic citizen scientist or love to geek out on supply chain logistics!

Plastic pollution doesn’t know political or cultural borders. We share one planet and global problems transcend all boundaries, which means the solutions need to as well. We don’t need everyone to do everything, but we need everyone to do something. It’s time to find your role. It’s time to act.

Sailing programmes are an incredible way to engage

Sailing programmes are an incredible way to engage individuals and coastal communities with the ocean.

But like most water sports the equipment, care and maintenance of equipment and program operations can come with an environmental cost.

Sailing organisations from around the world have been working passionately on accessible solutions to help the sport minimise the environmental impact.

Flashback to a great @ussailing event supported by @11thhourracing bringing together speakers including @missemilypenn__ , solutions and resources which is the feature of our latest blog #linkinbio
