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 minutelitterpick 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'.
