Rivers are Life Launches Partnership With Waterhaul to Provide Litter-Picking Equipment for River Cleanup Efforts

MIDLAND, Mich., April 18, 2024 (Newswire.com) - Today, Rivers are Life is thrilled to announce a new partnership with Waterhaul, the U.K.-based organization transforming our oceans’ plastics into purposeful products that inspire action. Together, the organizations will work to promote waterway protection and exploration across the globe.

A recent survey, conducted by SAVANTA, and commissioned by Rivers are Life, found that 59% of respondents plan to clean their local rivers in 2024. Looking to turn ambition into action, Rivers are Life and Waterhaul will create co-branded cleanup kits to help people across the globe take care of their waterways. 

The unique cleanup kits were designed using 100% recycled materials and made durable to be repurposed and reused for years — leaving no negative impact on the environment. The cleanup kits consist of:

  • Upcycled clean up bags made from recycled sails – making every bag uniquely designed with no bag being the same. Spinnaker sails were selected, as an estimated 97% of retired sails end up in landfills.
  • 32” foldable litter picker - composed of recycled ocean plastic components (i.e. trawl nets and lines) and with recycled aluminum extruded shafts, stainless steel rivets, and 100% recycled PET string.
  • Litter picking bag hoop - made from recycled fishing gear, predominantly potting lines (rope), which is one of the most common forms of end-of-life fishing gear found on UK coastlines. 

These thoughtfully curated kits will be used at Rivers are Life-sponsored cleanup events, such as the Baltimore Floatilla event (June 7 & 8) to raise awareness around water pollution issues in the Baltimore Harbor, as well as Trout Unlimited Expeditions in Wyoming (June 16-25; July 11-20; August 2-11) to inspire the next generation of youth to experience, take care of, and advocate for native and wild trout and salmon populations and the waters they inhabit. 

“Rivers are Life is excited and proud to work with Waterhaul to inspire action surrounding waterway cleanup,” said Katie Horning, Director Marketing, Rivers are Life. “With these kits, we hope to empower and equip our vast network of River Heroes and partners with the tools and resources for seamless cleanup efforts.” 

“We’re proud to be working with Rivers are Life, who will be using our litter-picking equipment to support the positive impact of their cleanups. Rivers are an essential part of our ecosystem that all lead to the ocean, so it is so important to ensure they’re free from plastic pollution!” said Kieran Hill, Head of Sales at Waterhaul. “Knowing that equipment made from fishing gear that was previously damaging our ocean is going out into the world to tackle the plastic pollution crisis is something we’re incredibly proud of.”

Rivers are Life x Waterhaul cleanup kits are now available for online presale here. All profits from the kits are going to support river impact projects around the globe.

NEW YORK, July 18, 2024 (Newswire.com)
–
Tiny Souls Media Inc., a start-up specializing in children’s media and educational resources for caregivers, launched its first episodes of an original preschool animated series entitled Zip and the Tiny Sprouts last month on YouTube. The series is written and directed by K Love You Bye’s Peter Johnston and Kyle Logan with Chris Bennett (Bluey) as animation director. Zip and the Tiny Sprouts aims to entertain young audiences while supporting their learning and social-emotional development. The series will feature 26 seven-minute episodes set in the whimsical Harmony Hollow, released every other weekend on YouTube and the YouTube Kids app. Additional content such as sing-alongs and craft videos are also featured on the channel to help families learn and grow together.

Each episode features meaningful stories and original music on themes like patience, perseverance and gratitude, and is grounded in established curriculum frameworks and developmental psychology research. Lacey Mason (Sesame Workshop, Dodo Kids), Head of Development and Production at Tiny Souls Media, shared, “Each episode of Zip and the Tiny Sprouts is thoughtfully crafted with humor and heart. We have an extremely talented art and animation team making the Sprouts and their world come to life in fantastic, endearing and relatable ways.”

“We are thrilled to launch this unique animated series alongside a robust offering of resources and activities that empower caregivers and educators of young children to learn about important themes that can create a solid foundation for their well-being,” said Shadi Toloui-Wallace, founder and Chief Creative Officer of Tiny Souls Media. 

The show has already become a YouTube sensation with the first five episodes garnering over 1.5 million views within the first month of its release. “The reception to it has been just wonderful. But there’s no time to rest. Our journey is just getting started and we’ve got lots of funny, heartfelt and thoughtful stories to share,” said Animation Director and writer Chris Bennett.

Unique to many of its competitors, Tiny Souls offers educational content for both caregivers and young children, all informed by developmental psychology research. Earlier this year, Tiny Souls Media launched the Caregiver Companion Series of parenting courses available on its website and app, featuring expert advice, purposeful activities and games, songs and more.
