Interview: Cal Major of Paddle Against Plastic

Meet awesome eco warrior Cal Major, a lady on a mission to save our seas. She’s the founder of Paddle Against Plastic, aiming to inspire others to care for the environment through adventure, and recently paddle boarded the length of the Cornish coast to spread the word about her cause. She told me about her love for the ocean and how others can get involved with protecting it.
