Lyne Morissette and Jimmy Beaurivage Vigneux joined forces to mobilize various stakeholders to protect Quebec’s and the world’s aquatic ecosystems. Co-founders of the Mission 10 tonnes initiative, they first set a goal of removing 10 tonnes of waste from waterways. The goal then grew to 100, then 1 000 tonnes. To date, with the help of dedicated volunteers, over 240 tonnes of waste have been removed from the water. They also present lectures to encourage environmentally responsible habits aimed at reducing the waste resulting from our lifestyles.
