Our friend Gil is an avid travel and adventure blogger and we’ve supported his recent ventures with our Hydration Packs & Sandals. For his latest project we didn’t send gear, but stepped out of the office and joined him on the beach.

Gil welcoming us at the beach
Everyone is talking about plastic waste ruining the sea, wildlife and coastline – but too few of us actually get up and do something about it.
