EndPlasticSoup attracted great interest at the Rotary International Convention which was held from 27 to 31 May in Melbourne Australia.
Many attendees visited our Booth in the House of Friendship where it was always busy and we had inspiring conversations. The Breakout presentation was attended by 240 people (many could not attend because the room was full). Our ambassadors Melanie Lewis (RC Social Impact Network, Sidney, Australia), Barbara McChesney (RC Windsor, CA, USA) and Salvador Rico (RC South Ukiah, CA, USA) did such a great job.
Thank you everybody, this is the way we can have more impact to end the plastic pollution!
On Friday 14th July Melanie and Barbara repeated the Breakout presentation in a webinar for our Ambassador and Supporter Clubs. The webinar has been recorded. When you are interested mail endplasticsoup@gmail.com.
