1. An Invitation to Participate in a Major Event
Bringing Out to Sea? to Stockholm Why “The Plastic Garbage Project” is the Right Exhibition at the Right Time

2. What is “Out to Sea”?
A powerful museum exhibition about the incredible amounts of plastic garbage accumulating in the global seas … and what we can do about it
The “Out to Sea” exhibit was produced by
the Plastic Garbage Project at the
Gestaltung Museum in Zurich. It has
already traveled to a dozen countries.

3. Something for — and from — everyone
The items on exhibit in “Out to Sea” come from beach clean-up programs in the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, and the Pacific Ocean. They demonstrate the consequences of our everyday use of plastic. Source of the problem: Everyone. Target audience: Everyone.
Who knows … maybe even you have contributed, unwittingly,
something to the exhibition. Plastic reaches almost anywhere.

4. This huge collection is a key piece of the exhibit
This huge collection is a key piece of the exhibit. It is the amount of plastic garbage that enters our seas every 15 seconds

5. Timing
Out to Sea will come to Tekniska Muséet in Stockholm March-June On June 5-9, 2017, Sweden and Fiji will co-sponsor the first-ever UN high-level conference on the state of the seas. Sweden will no doubt give this event high profile.
The conference will be held in New York, June 5-9.
Sweden is strongly committed, with Fiji, to take global
leadership on the health of the seas. This exhibit
makes the plight of the sea real and tangible.

6. Making the education connection
Bringing the exhibition to Stockholm also involves committing
to the development of an education and awareness raising program
reaching schools, citizens, and decision-makers in business and government

7. By facing the problem … we can find solutions
The exhibition also provides opportunities to showcase
new approaches to creating a more circular economy
by turning all waste into resource
