Wyndham Green Partners With Plastic FREE Ocean to Raise Awareness About Pollutants in Our Waters
Wyndham's Commitment to Sustainability Sponsors Tom Jones and Paddle 2010
Wyndham Green by Wyndham Worldwide is proud to announce the sponsorship of The Wyndham Green Paddle 2010 featuring ultra-endurance athlete Tom Jones and his quest to raise public awareness about the great risks to the environment and the world's oceans from improper and excessive use of plastic. From May 16th to August 12th, Tom Jones will attempt to create a new world record by paddling from Key West, Florida to New York City on a standup paddleboard.
Wyndham Green is Wyndham's sustainability program that focuses on social responsibility and the environment as a part of the company's overall green strategy. Wyndham Green has partnered with Tom Jones and Plastic Free Ocean a subsidiary of the Tom Jones Foundation, a federally registered 501(c)3 nonprofit incorporated in California, USA, in order to raise funds and public awareness about the harm plastic has on our environment and the resources needed to rid our oceans of these pollutants.

Some of the harmful effects of plastic in our oceans affect birds and marine species:
