World Oceans Day: A<br />
Plastic Planet’s Lilly<br />
Barclay on how to live a<br />
low-plastic life<br />
BY ZOE DICKENS<br />
June 8 marked the annual World Oceans Day,<br />
a global initiative to educate the public about<br />
the crisis facing our oceans and raise funds<br />
to help the organisations tackling it. One<br />
such organisation is A Plastic Planet, which<br />
was co-founded by Lilly Barclay and Sian<br />
Sutherland after the pair met while working on<br />
the influential documentary A Plastic Ocean.<br />
A Plastic Planet is currently campaigning for<br />
supermarkets to offer plastic free aisles and,<br />
on June 5, 2018, organised the first One Plastic<br />
Free Day encouraging the public to give up all<br />
products packaged in plastic for 24 hours.<br />
Read on for her insight into the plastic pollution<br />
crisis and tips for how to transform your habits<br />
and live a low plastic life. To hear more from<br />
Lilly Barclay, I registered to attend the Ocean<br />
Talks on June 13, where she spoke alongside<br />
environmental experts and superyacht industry<br />
insiders including Blue Planet II’s James<br />
Honeyborne, designer Espen Øino and REV<br />
project manager George Gill.<br />
