The 2 Minute Foundation

The 2 Minute Foundation is a national charity based in Cornwall. We are environmental educators highlighting the detrimental effects that plastics have on the environment. Why we are here: We are passionate about changing more mindsets because: ● The ocean’s inhabitants provide us with 50% of the oxygen we breathe and capture the most carbon on the planet. ● Plastics misuse is harming wildlife, choking the oceans AND warming the planet. It is a fossil fuel (oil) and when burnt it gives off harmful green house gases (GHGs). ● Every piece of plastic ever produced never breaks down. It breaks up into smaller pieces to go and cause harm to wildlife and humans. What we do: We take action for ocean health and encourage everyone to take 2 minutes through: ● SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGNS – our pick up hashtags #2minutebeachclean & #2minutelitterpick encourage everyone to pick up litter and plastic pollution at the places they love, live and visit. #2minutesolution takes you on a journey to make simple manageable swops and #2minutesofpositivity helps celebrate the power of doing something good for the planet. ● CLEAN UP STATIONS - Our clean up Stations connect communities, act as beacons to stop littering and reduce litter in their area by 61%. ● 2 MINUTE BEACH SCHOOL - We provide online and on the beach sessions to individuals, schools, businesses and organisations. ● CORPORATE DAYS OUT & ACTIVATIONS – We help businesses hit their ESG targets and by partnering with us, 7 OF THE UNs sustainability goals are addressed. We encourage everyone to take 'action for ocean health'.
