Craig’s accomplishments
His powerful documentary, ‘A Plastic Ocean’, shows the shocking consequences of marine pollution and the need for change. As an appreciation for his dedication to environmental protection and advocacy for living plastic-free, Craig was invited to be a ChangeMaker. Over the past decade, Cathay Pacific has also been working with Craig to review and subsequently reduce our single-use plastic footprint. We have also screened ‘A Plastic Ocean’ on our flights to help spread awareness of the damaging impact of single-use plastics.
