Who is Sam Bencheghib?

He is a 22-years-old environmental activist who co-founded Make A Change World, an environmental initiative that aims at spreading awareness regarding the cleanliness of the beaches and coastal community.

Sam Bencheghib, will be running from one side of the United States to the other as a way to show people how crucial it is to save our planet from all the harms we are causing. He will start his journey from New York and will end it in Los Angeles, wearing recycled plastic shoes, something that no one has ever done before.

What is Ocean2Ocean?

Bencheghib’s mission in the US falls under the name of Ocean2Ocean, given that he is crossing the country from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean

His goal is to influence the people of the cities or villages he will pass by during his trajectory. He wants to show them the importance of their actions in protecting the environment and producing less waste. One of the ways he will be doing so is by hosting presentations and discussions in educational institutions such as schools and universities. This will help target the youth, who are believed to be the makers of the future, and shed light on the negative effects of plastic and how it is polluting the environment. Sam will work on teaching the basics of environmental preservation to the people he will encounter; the events he will organize will be different and original. For example zero-waste workshops will be hosted and documentaries about the same purpose will be screened, while city cleanups are on top of his list. Sam would love for people, clubs and athlete organizations to join him, even for a brief distance while running.
