Actor-Activist Adrian Grenier and producer Lucy Sumner founded Lonely Whale in 2015 with the intent of bringing the world’s ocean closer to everyone. Dr. Dune Ives, CEO, was brought on board in January of 2016. Since then, they have motivated hundreds of millions of people towards a collective impact of 15 billion single-use plastic straws permanently removed by 2021. They’ve also inspired industry shifts from single-use plastics water bottles to more sustainable alternatives and brought a new brand of canned water to market, empowered thousands of youth to create change in their communities around the world, and are working with industry competitors and leaders to permanently keep 25,000 tonnes of ocean-bound plastic in the economy and out of the ocean.
