Norwex Learning Network · On the Mission, Episode 17: Brad Parks and Washed Ashore

Today Norwex® Chief Brand and Mission Officer Amy Cadora talks with Washed Ashore Conservation Education Director Brad Parks.

Washed Ashore is a nonprofit studio that has been making art to raise awareness about plastic pollution in our oceans. Since 2010, Washed Ashore has collected about 35 tons of garbage from Oregon beaches to create 86 eye-opening sculptures (and counting)!

Learn about the fascinating history of Washed Ashore and how a journey that started with founder Angela Haseltine Pozzi is now making a difference worldwide.

Brad shares the story of Washed Ashore’s art-centered mission and gives some tips on how we can take action to protect our waterways and oceans from plastic pollution.

Learn where you can see exhibits of these charismatic sea creatures and how Washed Ashore may be coming to a community near you.
