⬆️ We recorded the highest known sample of microplastic at a place called Everest Balcony
💪 Although it’s not a world record you want to celebrate, it’s a reminder to keep pushing for change to fight plastic pollution
📚 Our research won a Guinness world record - the book just arrived at my house!
🏔 With the @InsideNatGeo Everest expedition team, snow samples were taken all the way from Basecamp to just below the summit
After 6 weeks offshore, the crew is back in port with the plastic catch from test trip 1. We are heading back to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch this week, where we expect to catch even more plastic.
Good luck to the British team competing at the 2021 ICF Junior & U23 Canoe Sprint World Championships in Portugal this weekend 😀
Racing starts on Friday morning and you can watch all of the action on Planet Canoe👇

One of our favourite parts of our new brand are the animated logos 🐟🦀
Which one is your favourite – crab, fish or jellyfish? What other species do you think we could try?
Happy #PenguinAwarenessDay 🐧 We're celebrating these sea birds by sharing some interesting facts about them.
🌊 A group of penguins in the water is called a raft but on land they're called a waddle
🌊 Explorers first called them ‘strange geese’ when circumnavigating the globe
Our new paper has identified the highest recorded microplastics ever found on Earth, near the top of Mt. Everest! 🏔⬆️
Microplastics were identified in every snow sample, with up to 70 microplastic pieces per litre ❄️
