Swim for Change
This is the story of 5 swimmers who are going to swim from Marseille to Barcelona (550 km) to encourage the French to adopt a simple gesture: throw your cigarette butt in the trash.
World Record
On May 29, 2021 in Paris, in partnership with Surfrider Paris, the world record was set with 855,000 butts collected. Thank you to the 1200 volunteers who were mobilized!
A new major collection is planned in June 2023 #MegotFunding
Raising awareness among youth
A 32-minute documentary was made about the adventure and the ecological commitment. It is notably broadcast in schools to raise awareness among the youngest.
Leaving a legacy
All the collected butts are recycled into awareness plates to continue to appeal to the French
