DOPPER CHANGEMAKER CHALLENGE | IDEATION WORKSHOP

14 March 2019 at Impact Hub King's Cross

Calling all university students interested in plastic waste or clean water! Between 1985 and 2015, over 20 million plastic bottle caps and 14 million drinking bottles were found on beaches across the world, according to Ocean Conservancy. We're thirsty for change! We want to hear your ideas, and give you a chance at a £5,000 grant to make it reality!

Need even more inspiration? Entrepreneur and Straw by Straw founder Ev Liu developed an eco-friendly alternative to the plastic straw made of natural wheat straw! City to Sea founder and environmental campaigner Natalie Fee reached 35 million people with her Refill campaign for ditching single-use water bottles. And designer Mirjam de Bruijn created the Twenty soluble cleaning products - the only 20% percent you need to buy; add 80% tap water and shake it up!
