Project Summary

After five successful years of organising the 0 Plastic Menorca Diving Expedition, and having seen how the experience significantly transforms participants’ environmental awareness and everyday habits, we are now launching the sixth edition of this initiative.

0 Plastic Menorca’s mission is to educate, engage and empower people to reduce single-use plastics, inspire behavioural change, and promote sustainable tourism practices on the island of Menorca and beyond.

Environmental Focus

• An estimated 80% of marine litter in the Mediterranean originates from tourism activities, and 95% of it is plastic.
• Around 99% of plastic waste ends up in the deep sea, where it may take centuries to decompose, yet data on degradation timelines remain uncertain.
• Visitors and locals alike are often insufficiently informed or engaged in protecting the marine environment

Description of the project

0 Plastic Menorca:

WHAT WE DO

We select and bring together a group of more than 30 volunteers coming from all over Spain to involve them in an immersive experience with the mission to increase their environmental awareness and inspire others around them to get involved.

We promote a change in consumption habits and we encourage them to make environmental proposals in the companies they work for.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

• Raise awareness of the plastic pollution crisis.
• Encourage behavioural change through direct engagement with environmental challenges and solutions.
• Promote responsible tourism, setting Menorca as a positive example of Mediterranean environmental stewardship.
