Action in Trash Camp — Passion for Ocean festival
Passion for Ocean — a place where you get inspired to take action for the oceans, and we were there! Every late summer since 2016, Passion for Ocean has invited people in Oslo to an event filled with sea-related activities, entertainment, and creativity. Empower were there to show how we all can contribute and make real impact and have some fun as well!
“Passion for Ocean is a fantastic initiative that gathers the people and brands who care about the ocean and wants to find solutions. The festival has become an excellent arena for learning and involvement, which is vital to create hope and change of attitude” Wilhelm Myrer, CEO Empower
Talking about solutions
Events like Passion for Ocean are valuable in different ways. We learn what people care about and how we can share our knowledge with more people. At the same time, this is a perfect opportunity to meet and talk to people about Empower and to raise awareness about our work.
“During the day, we got questions from individuals who want to contribute in different ways; some people seek changes they can implement in their way of living; others want to help by involvement and donations. We learned that people are interested in Empower and what we do. It proves that our idea
to give plastic a value can have an impact both locally and globally. In events like this, we get the chance to talk to people about the process of the solution, not only the solution in itself. For instance, how we trace the plastic waste to improve recycling and make sure it doesn’t end up back in nature” Carl Nesset, COO Empower
An arena for good ideas
Passion for Ocean is full of smart, innovative, and creative ideas. New ideas have already been born in the Empower team, both for potential collaborations and for new clean-ups. Passion for Ocean is a true inspiration; at the end of the day, this is what truly matters, passion and action.
Are you a plastic hero? Or do you want to become one? Here’s how you do it!
A great thank you from Empower to Passion for Ocean. Looking forward to see you next year!
