The Air We Breathe launches on Parley’s YouTube channel

 
 
 
 
 

In July 2022, we launched our documentary series The Air We Breathe. Thousands of you tuned in, the films have been shown at screenings around the world, and you can watch them all on our YouTube channel.

The series takes the viewer to Australia, South Africa, Hawai’i and Chile, shining a light on the tireless work our teams and collaborators do intercepting marine plastic pollution, exploring the connection that people feel with our oceans, and outlining the importance of appreciating Indigenous wisdom. 

“In the first 10 years of Parley,” explains Parley founder and CEO Cyrill Gutsch, “we've worked to create a global impact platform that connects and supports the changemakers — those who take action, build community, and hold the knowledge the 'environmental' movement needs. We're excited to share The Air We Breathe to invite people deeper into our cause by introducing the places we work to protect and our ongoing source of inspiration: the people, projects and ideas building the blueprints for a better future.”

Head to our YouTube channel now to immerse yourself in The Air We Breathe, and while you’re there check out our Ocean Wonders series, an archive of Parley Talks, plus a plethora of videos that go deep on the beauty and the fragility of our oceans. Dive in!
