Meet Sasha Francis, Community Engagement Coordinat

Meet Sasha Francis, Community Engagement Coordinator at Galveston Bay Foundation, eXXpedition Ambassador and Round the World Leg 6 Crew Member.

In her role @gbayfoundation, Sasha goes out into the community to teach them about the work the organisation does, share data about the local ecosystem, discuss what issues it faces and empower people with information and resources to help preserve it. Last year, she started overseeing a marine debris programme. She works with volunteers every month to survey different shorelines and clean up a section of litter.

As part of our Ambassador Spotlight Series we wanted to showcase all her amazing work by telling Sasha'a Supwerpower story.

Every year, more than 1.4 trillion beverage containers are sold, and 500 billion are plastic. Of the 78 million tons of plastic packaging produced every year, 40% is simply sent to landfill, and 32% leaks into nature as litter. @tomragroup is on a mission the show the world it doesn’t have to be this way! Plastic is a valuable resource and should be treated as such, watch how TOMRA is turning the tide with their deposit return systems via 🔗 in bio.
