College graduate to run across the US to raise awareness on ocean plastics pollution.
A recent college graduate is marking his first foray into his post-education life by embarking on a cross-country trek to raise awareness of the plight of the world's oceans.
Bencheghib and his 24-year-old brother, Gary, started organizing local beach cleanups about 10 years ago, he said. Their efforts later evolved to video storytelling to reach a larger audience, and the pair co-founded Make a Change World, a media organization that aims to promote uplifting and inspirational content about sustainability.
The video the Bencheghibs posted to Facebook garnered so much attention that Indonesian President Joko"Jokowi" Widodo made a public commitment to clean up the river within seven years. In total, the run will encompass about 3,100 miles, and he'll do it while wearing the Adidas x Parley running shoes, which are made with up-cycled plastic waste collected from remote beaches and coastal communities.
The eldest Bencheghib sibling, Kelly, told ABC News she's"super in awe" at the"incredible challenge" her youngest brother is taking, adding that it combines his two passions: athleticism and the environment.
