One year ago we did the first blockchain driven clean-up in Hoddevik together with Nordic Ocean Watch

This week Empower has been part of several clean-ups in Norway & Sweden, where all the awarded tokens have been donated forward to fund clean-ups in other countries!

Together with Framtiden i våre hender in Oslo, Håll Sverige Rent in Strömstad and Stockholm and with Empower Clean City and partners in Oslo, a total of 0.5 tons has been collected and will then again lead to about 1 ton of plastic waste being collected in Norway, Sweden, Laos, Nepal, India and elsewhere 🤩🌏♻️

Not least! After starting in Hoddevik, Norway 1 year ago, this weeks clean-ups in Sweden represents clean-ups in 10 (!!!!!!!!!!) countries in about a year! This makes us super proud and worth a real celebration!! 🥳😍

Looking ahead, it doesn’t seem like we can stop here either, and our goals is to be in 20+ countries by the year end, so when (and where!) do you think that can be achieved?

Thanks to all the amazing people who have been going out to clean up beaches all over the Nordics this week, to Hold Norge Rent and to all the supporters and donors that ensure that we will be able to get an equal amount cleaned up around the World. 😍

YOU ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE!
