Captain Trash
About The Program
Captain Trash isn’t a real pirate … he’s an unreal pirate! Captain Trash is the alter ego of Port Phillip Baykeeper, Neil Blake (OAM). He educates kids of all ages on the 5 ARRRGHS: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Refuse and Remove. His message is to leave only footprints on the sand … not litter. He’s especially popular with Early Learning and Primary kids, and can be booked for litter audits, shoreline shell surveys, and festivals. Using pirate humour, strumming the ukulele, and rapping funny lyrics, Captain Trash gets kids’ attention. He’s a big character but not so big that he doesn’t have a solid scientific underpinning.
Bookings
Captain Trash is bookable starting from $250 +GST for incursions and $500 +GST for festivals and events. He’s a popular speaker, especially gifted at giving young kids a solid grounding in sustainability.
