Review for Plastic Ocean Project Inc, Wilmington, NC, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I was introduced to the Plastic Ocean Project in 2020 while working on an educational workshop for college students. Bonnie Monteleone, Founder of POP was part of the original group planning the workshop. I was instantly taken by the passion and drive she has for finding a solution to end plastic pollution. This organization never stops with its outreach, educational events, and cleanups
I was invited to join their board of directors in 2020. I have been on a number of boards but none with the commitment and dedication the POP team possesses. The diversity of
the member's skills and attributes make this a well-rounded nonprofit.
The current endeavor is a documentary "356" The story of a right whale, looking at being extinct, and the importance of saving a beautiful creator not only for because of its rarity but because of its contribution to climate change.
Whether it be picking up trash, doing a puppet show for kids, or creating a documentary of a story that needs to be told the POP volunteers and staff are tireless in their dedication to ending plastics in the ocean.
