Stokes Croft The Great Wave mug

"Every drop of water you drink, every breath you take, you're connected to the sea."- Sylvia Earle

"We need to respect the oceans and take care of them as if our lives depend on it... because they do."

Earle is a pioneering marine biologist and conservationist. Her campaign Mission Blue aims to create a global network of marine protected areas. These areas currently encompass 2.07% of the world's oceans.

More than 8 million tons of plastic are dumped in our oceans every year.

The design for this mug is based on the iconic woodblock print "Great Wave of Kanagawa" by Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai. The water is strewn with plastic debris.

This mug is based on an original re-usable mug. Stokes Croft China highly recommends using this mug for your take-away drinks, instead of non-recyclable cups.
