Now, together with a team of volunteers, she collects marine debris through beach cleanups and community workshops. The collected trash is then used to create large scale sculptures of sea life threatened by marine debris.  These sculptures now tour as the Washed Ashore Project traveling exhibit, educating and inspiring countless people from diverse backgrounds to take action in their own lives to prevent contributing to this global problem.

“As the beaches around the world wash up more stuff from the land and less from the sea I believe we must examine our relationship to rivers and oceans,” writes Haseltine Pozzi on her website. “I attempt to scoop up part of what might be below the blue waters and place it in front of us. In some ways it may be an escape, but at the same time a confrontation.”

Over 10,000 volunteers have helped clean beaches and worked with Washed Ashore to process over 20 tons of debris into over 70 sculptures of the animals affected by plastic pollution. As the leader of a team of dedicated employees and hundreds of volunteers, Haseltine Pozzi has vowed that this effort is her calling and “until we run out of plastic on the beach, we will keep doing our work.”

Here are some of their inspiring creations.

In his latest project, he works with an organization named Ocean Sole that aims to clean the earth by tackling plastic pollution.

Among the billion tons of plastic waste that has been thrown in the ocean, a large portion is made of flip flops. Apart from polluting the ocean and destroying marine life, these flip flops dumped in the ocean block waterways that provide clean water to communities.

Mutua and Ocean Sole recycle over 74 tons of lost flip-flops per year, transforming them into stunning statues of animals in all shapes and sizes. In 2017 the team recycled more than 500,000 flip-flops. According to Mutua, they can create up to 8 animals per day and most of them are sold abroad.
