City to Sea
Careers at City to Sea
City to Sea is an environmental not-for-profit, campaigning to stop plastic pollution at source. Our award-winning campaigns are tackling the single-use plastic items found most commonly on our beaches and in our rivers and oceans by providing practical solutions.
By working with communities, businesses and government, we’re inspiring and empowering everyone to tackle plastic pollution. We believe collective action is key to lasting behaviour change and encourage everyone to rethink, refuse, reduce and reuse across all of our campaigns.
Escape's take on City to Sea
Most of us want to be responsible citizens working to make things better, but sometimes it can feel a little overwhelming. Where do you start? That's where City to Sea comes in, making it easy for each of us to understand the small actions we can take every day to turn the tide on plastic pollution. City to Sea brings humour, humility, and enthusiasm to a depressing issue, making it easy to get involved and become an everyday activist. Not only is their mission truly admirable, the employees at City to Sea sang its praises. They highlighted the culture as being supportive of employee health and wellbeing, flexibility and generosity, and crucially as a place where you can show up to work wholeheartedly and be a part of a supportive group of people all making a big change in the world.
