America’s Cup Sailors Pledge to Keep the Ocean Healthy — [VIDEO]

October 8, 2012

As part of the America’s Cup Healthy Oceans Project, participating sailors and skippers pledge their commitment to protect the ocean they compete on.

In a recent video, some of the world’s best sailors, assembled in San Francisco for the America’s Cup, pledged to specific actions to protect the world’s ocean. While, some committed to dispose of their trash responsibly, others said they would drive more fuel efficient cars and still others vowed to say “no” to single-use plastic bottles.

Watch the full video:

Also last week, Dr. Sylvia Earle, an ambassador of the America’s Cup Healthy Oceans Project, traveled to San Francisco, to highlight some of the issues threatening our ocean.

The videos and lectures supporting the America’s Cup Healthy Oceans Project have a clear message: we can make a difference. “One by one, pledge by pledge our actions add up,” the America’s Cup sailors say into the camera in the latest video. “There is time, if we act together and we act now.”
