Our organisation

Since 2019, we have been in action to fight plastic pollution by raising awareness among as many people as possible.

We are a non-partisan, apolitical, independent, non-profit volunteer organisation committed to concrete projects and battles to protect the planet from plastic pollution. The brainchild of Luca De Gaetano, today it is the most concrete reality on the Italian territory and with a presence in more than 30 countries around the world.
