THE TEAM

Science + Passion

We are outside people. We want to save the world because we want to keep exploring it. Climate change and plastic pollution pose real threats to the lands and waters we love.

So yes, we want to save the world because it’s the right thing to do, but we’d be dishonest if we didn’t admit that we also want to save our playground!
