Pebble in the Pond (Pebble in the Pond) started in 2008 when a small group of people in Powell River, a small oceanside community in British Columbia, Canada, decided to take action to reduce plastic garbage in our community and create a sustainable model that can be copied by other people and communities. We are motivated because we know about the plastic garbage gyres in the world's oceans which are growing at an alarming rate, killing sea life and destroying the oceans. We are working hard to expand our base of ecologically-sound alternatives to disposable plastic and inspire others, one community at a time. We are dedicated to:

1. waste diversion, especially petrochemically-based plastics;
2. halting further contribution of garbage to the ocean gyres, and
3. assisting with the clean up of beaches and, eventually, the ocean gyres.
