19 million tons of plastic enter the ocean each year, ending up in some of the most remote places on Earth. As co-founder of Unplastify, National Geographic Explorer Agustina “Tati” Besada is working to be part of the solution. “Each of us can create change, not only in our own lives, but also we can make decisions that affect many other people and reduce the way we relate with plastics,” she says
In this Expedition Spotlight, Besada shares more about her ongoing mission to “unplastify” places like Galápagos by teaching students, educators and tourism suppliers to rethink consumption of single-use plastics and equipping them with the tools and resources needed to reduce plastic waste in their communities.
