Hi, I’m Aakash Ranison
I’m 24 and at this stage of my life, two things keep me going: my wanderlust to explore the world and my desire to work for climate change. My work and life revolve around these two things and I do whatever I can to keep it that way. I’m a Traveller at heart and an Entrepreneur by choice.
Like all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.
― Benjamin Disraeli

Today, we produce about 300 million tonnes of plastic waste each year. That’s nearly equivalent to the weight of the entire human population. As per the UN Environment report 2018, around the world, one million plastic drinking bottles are purchased every minute.
•
In total, half of all plastic produced is designed to be used only once — and then thrown away. And well, the next immediate question is - Where does all this plastic land up? Only 9% of all plastic waste ever produced has been recycled. About 12% has been incinerated, while the rest — 79% — has accumulated in landfills, dumps or the natural environment.
•
India is one of the major contributors to this plastic menace. We as a country produce 25,940 tonnes of plastic waste every day, however, the larger problem lies in our inability to adequately manage this waste.
•
We are unable to manage about 85%* of this garbage and the majority of this lands up in our lakes and rivers which in turn get merged into the oceans, threatening our marine life. Water and plastic pollution along with overexploitation and climate change have caused the extinction of 15 marine species, and currently threaten the lives of 700 more.
•
With the aim to aware people and change the way we use plastic @jellyfishwatersport took the initiative to make the world’s first marine cemetery in kozhikode(Calicut), Kerala and invited me to drive the project.

I am thankful to JellyFish Watersports & team[Kaushiq, Rubina, Rinzy, Prasad, Jishnu ] for giving me the opportunity to drive this project and thank you to the creative team[Tarun, Garima, Sangeeta, Aarushi, Prashant, Mubin, Nad, sorry I am forgetting any name.]•
