SUPPORT
Support the Plastic Soup Surfer Campaign: Paris – Nice 2025
From May 10 to June 8, 2025, the Plastic Soup Surfer launches a new expedition.
On a paddleboard, Merijn Tinga will paddle from Paris to Nice – a journey of 1250 kilometers – to raise awareness for deposit return on cans and bottles in France.
The expedition ends at the United Nations Ocean Conference on June 8, where we will amplify our message on an international stage.
Why this crowdfunding?
We want to document this unique campaign in an inspiring film.
You can help us tell this story.
Together with filmmakers Jasper Strik and Eelke Dekker, we're making a documentary about activism, perseverance, and system change – seen from the water, felt in every paddle stroke.
Your support helps us:
- Fund the film production
- Support the expedition logistics
- Spread the message further in France and beyond
