Cody Townsend wants to keep the outdoors pristine. That’s why he’s supporting innovative plastic replacements like Cruz Foam.

Professional skier Cody Townsend was shocked when he found out about the levels of microplastic in the snows of Mount Everest.

The scary thing was, even on remote mountain peaks where few humans ever go, microplastic could still be found – carried by the wind and rain.

Townsend wanted to do something to help stop the flow of microplastic. 

That’s why he’s supporting businesses coming up with alternatives to plastics in applications such as packaging. One of those is Cruz Foam, which makes an alternative to styrofoam that’s “designed to vanish”.

Watch our full video about Cody Townsend and Cruz Foam below.
