Plastic Oceans - Jo Ruxton

The Kind Community Show

Episode 12 of the Kind Community Show with film producer and plastic pollution campaigner, Jo Ruxton.

Jo began her work in marine conservation back in 1990 when she joined WWF in Hong Kong to begin their Marine Conservation Programme During her time at WWF, she was instrumental in bringing in new legislation and setting up four Marine Protected Areas.

Jo was also a lead member of the BBC Natural History Unit’s diving team and has been producing and directing underwater sequences since the first days of filming on the award-winning Blue Planet series in 1997. During her 12 years at the BBC, she was involved in numerous underwater films from Antarctica to the pristine reefs of the Caribbean and the Pacific Ocean for the BBC and Discovery Channel.

After leaving the BBC, and learning about the plastic problem in 2009, Jo decided to combine both careers and produced a documentary feature, A Plastic Ocean. The film was released globally in January 2017.

Jo co-founded the Plastic Oceans Foundation as a registered UK charity in 2010 to help the fundraising process but more importantly to continue the legacy and message of the film beyond its release.
