Good times! Last week, we gathered on the River Thames in London for an evening reception to wrap up our Round the World project and celebrate everything that has been achieved over the last three years!

It was a fantastic turn out on the night and we are so grateful to the guest crew, team, partners and sponsors who were able to join us in person, and everyone who tuned in for the live stream. It was incredible to come together and reflect on some of the special moments shared between the amazing eXXpedition community and the impact that has been made, both at sea and on land.

To create large-scale change we need everyone, but

To create large-scale change we need everyone, but how do we reach the unreachables? In a recent SHiFT Community Hub session, four of our #eXXpedition ambassadors shared how they effectively communicate with those who traditionally are the hardest to reach with important environmental messages around ocean plastic, pollution and waste. ⁠
⁠
Their experiences spanned from written communication with the broader public to use of film, and work engaging young people and remote communities. ⁠
⁠
Communications professional Meg Tapp (@meg.tapp) led the session and was joined by documentary filmmaker Eleanor Church (@larkrisepictures), educator Lindsey Turnbull (@missheardmedia) and Community Engagement Coordinator Sasha Francis (@uke.go.girl), who shared their top tips on communication and engagement. ⁠

Introducing Karey Billyard, eXXpedition Ambassador

Introducing Karey Billyard, eXXpedition Ambassador and Virtual Voyage Tonga Crew Member. Karey is our 7th Ambassador in our Ambassador Spotlight Series - Superpower Stories.

We speak to Karey about her love of storytelling, her passion for the natural world and her latest adventure setting up a sustainable personal care product business - Frankly Sustainable - with her best friend in Toronto.

We discussed the place for storytelling in the fight against plastic pollution and her work at Waterlution - an NGO that works with young leaders to solve very hyper localized water issues.

As part of our Ambassador Spotlight Series we wanted to showcase all her amazing work by telling Karey’s Superpower Story.

In sustainability circles, we talk a lot about creating a ‘circular economy’, but what does this actually mean? And how can we implement it in our societies? ⁠
⁠
To delve deeper, eXXpedition Ambassadors Natasha Pergl @nkpergl, Kristine Berg @kristinemarieh and Lindsey McCoy @lindsey_d_mccoy who work in this area came together in the SHiFT Community Hub for a discussion on how we can work towards a more circular model.⁠

To create a long-lasting impact on plastic pollution, use and disposal, we need to see changes to the law. In August. #eXXpedition ambassadors Sandra Squire (@sandra_squire), Morgan Goodman (@morgood), Catherine Cieczko and Juliet Carvalhal (@impactbluefoundation) led a #SHiFT Community Hub event to share their experiences of working in policy and their advice for creating change. You can read their advice through the ‘New Blog’ link in our bio!

📷 was taken in 2017 of our eXXpedition crew members in Scottish Parliament during our Round Britain voyages.
