Based in World
We are Travelers Against Plastic (TAP), and our mission is simple: to drastically reduce plastic waste in the travel industry and beyond. We believe that travel, while enriching and transformative, should not come at the expense of our planet. Our journey began with a small group of passionate travelers who witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of single-use plastics on pristine environments around the globe. From beaches littered with bottles to overflowing landfills near breathtaking natural wonders, the problem was undeniable. Driven by a desire to create meaningful change, we established TAP as a platform for education, advocacy, and action. We understand that plastic pollution is a complex issue, but we also know that every small step counts. That's why we focus on empowering travelers and travel businesses to make conscious choices that minimize their environmental footprint. We envision a future where sustainable practices are the norm, not the exception, in the world of travel. Our approach is rooted in collaboration and inclusivity. We work with individuals, tour operators, hotels, and other industry stakeholders to implement practical solutions for reducing plastic consumption. This includes promoting reusable alternatives, supporting businesses committed to sustainability, and raising awareness about the environmental consequences of plastic waste. We strive to provide resources and guidance that make it easy for everyone to participate in our movement. We exist to inspire a sense of responsibility and stewardship among travelers. We encourage individuals to pack reusable water bottles, say no to single-use plastics, and support local communities that are actively working to protect their environment. We also recognize the crucial role that travel businesses play in shaping sustainable tourism practices. By partnering with TAP, these businesses can demonstrate their commitment to environmental responsibility and attract travelers who share their values. Ultimately, we believe that travel can be a force for good. By embracing sustainable practices, we can protect the natural beauty of our planet for future generations to enjoy. We invite you to join us in our mission to reduce plastic waste and create a more sustainable world, one trip at a time. Take the pledge, spread the word, and become a part of the TAP community. Together, we can make a difference.
