EOCA encouraged by progress and participation
22/01/2020
The group's Conservation Fundraiser, which will be held at their ISPO stand to raise money for conservation projects, has been receiving a growing number of donations. Among the contributions: ice spikes, hats, hammocks, mosquito nets and a number of reusable cups, mugs and bottles.
EOCA has also reported growth in sign-ups for the Plastic Pledge, which commits exhibitors to provide a source of drinking water on their stands, encourage the use of reusable mugs and crockery/cutlery items and eliminate single-use plastic on their stands.
Launched at Outdoor by ISPO in 2019, the pledge is being taken by the original signees plus a boost of 57% for a total of 70 signees to date. This year, EOCA is also encouraging support from visitors to ISPO in Munich, who they hope will bring their own mugs, refuse single-use plastics and sign the pledge for individuals at the group’s stand.
