ECO-EDUCATION
Awareness through education
Eco-Education
If we want to preserve the planet, oceans and natural world for the next generation, what better way could there be, than by engaging young people in sustainability?
By involving them, we are creating environmental ambassadors of the future. GreenSeas Trust often gives talks and workshops at schools. At the heart of our ethos is behavioural change. By inspiring awareness at an early age, strong environmental foundations are forged.

Creating the next generation of plastic warriors
St Edmunds Catholic Primary School (above)
GreenSeas Trust conducted workshops at St Edmund’s Catholic Primary School to educate children aged 5 to 11 about plastic pollution and the importance of the 3R's: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
Harbinger Primary School (above)
Our workshops cover topics like plastic pollution in the ocean, a project named 'trash to treasure' where children repurpose plastic items, and writing a 'promise card' committing to help reduce plastic pollution.
Educating
Cruise Ship Crews
GreenSeas Trust created a series of posters for cruise ship crews to respect the pristine environments their ships sail into.
Not all seafarers fully grasp the impact of marine plastics on ocean health and their own livelihood. Leaving a cigarette butt or a single piece of litter on a beach kissing the Atlantic Ocean has consequences on the other side of the world.
Since most crew members tend to come from coastal regions themselves and have diets that include fish, the trust focused their attention to the effects of the lifecycle of plastics on marine animals and the toxins they release as they breakdown. This led to a successful outcome with beaches and beauty spots being left intact and unspoiled by garbage.
Educational Collaborations
GreenSeas Trust and Everyone Matters collaborated to raise awareness about marine garbage and its impact on the ecosystem through nautical music. The event featured a live orchestra playing a variety of music styles while slides were shown to the audience.
