I helped out at a community beach clean-up and walking along the beach I thought “this is great, but what about everyone else? What about all the businesses? Why can’t we all be part of the solution to the plastics crisis.” It’s probably less than 1% of people who have the time and motivation to spend a whole morning cleaning a beach. What about the 99%? Mostly good people. Would they? Would you? Help solve this problem if the action didn’t even change your routine. As a result, we created: Heroes – they are people who make the simple commitment to pick up a piece of plastic on their way to work, cafe, school or elsewhere. Even if it is just one piece once a week, by signing up their estimated weekly count of plastics picked up adds to the global count. Organisations- we designed a business directory that is much more than a ‘nice thing to do’. The directory can be found by anyone, so they can prefer the listed businesses who are showing they care about the environment. Hotels, for example, can list to attract more direct bookings and avoid commissions of the large booking platforms. And the directory only requires a donation of any value at the discretion of the business – so good value, good for business and good for the environment. Importantly it’s an entry point for businesses and individuals – rather than just reserved for those with already very strong environmental credentials. Organisations are welcome even if they do just one thing to reduce waste and they share that on their Page. Almost every person and organisation on the planet can sign up and very easily be part of the solution to the plastics crisis. Some of the organisations who have got involved include Illawarra Surf Academy, Bay Physiotherapy and Pilates and Rotary.

It’s Time was founded in early 2007 by Rob Edwards. We deliver renewable power solutions for remote Pacific Island schools with the duel objectives of reducing carbon emissions and enhancing education in the target communities. Contributors are engaged with the outcomes and we hope, through that experience, they are motivated to be more effective stewards of the world we live in. Particularly young people who are tomorrow’s leaders, scientists, teachers, parents … they will soon have the world’s future in their hands. While we run the foundation in a highly professional manner significant amounts of our operating costs are volunteer or donated. This along with the support of our equipment and service sponsors allows us to deliver maximum value from every donated dollar. The price support of our equipment sponsors significantly exceeds our already low administrative costs, therefore effectively negating all our administrative costs. In 2007 we launched the Cool Schools project that provided tools and encouragement to schools in Australia to raise funds with the aim of installing back-to-grid solar systems at their school. This process showed students that collective small efforts can make a difference in the fight against climate change. While many schools embraced this project, it was suspended in light of the incoming government’s Solar Schools initiative that achieved our objectives. Perhaps the Its Time model and the hundreds of student letters to the Australian government had some influence on government policy. While delivering the Cool Schools initiative, we researched the remote island projects that we now invite you get involved in. In 2008 Rabi High School was chosen as the site for a pilot installation for the current focus of the foundation. The Foundation then moved into the fundraising phase that we hope will result in hundreds of systems installed in schools across the Pacific. We look forward to you joining us on that journey.
