about
Sculpt the Future Foundation is a registered charity (1113144) founded in 2006 by David de Rothschild, whose commitment to the environment has sent him to some of the world's most remote and fragile regions in order to bring widespread media attention and, moreover, solutions to urgent global environmental issues.
David founded Adventure Ecology with the aim to of using his expeditions to capture imaginations and inspire environmental change by engaging children and young people in environmental issues. David is recognized as a National Geographic Emerging Leader, Clean up the World Ambassador, UNEP Climate Hero, Judge on The Earth Awards. With numerous adventures, three books and a TV series to date, David is on a mission to try to inspire, educate and activate individuals, communities and businesses to start moving towards a smarter, more sustainable 'Planet 2.0' way of living and acting.
In March 2010 David embarked on his most challenging and high profile adventure yet, the 'Plastiki'. Sailing across the Pacific from San Francisco to Sydney in a 60 foot catamaran, made from 12,500 reclaimed plastic bottles and a uniquely recyclable and relatively unexplored material, his mission to beat waste, see: www.theplastiki.com
The aim of Sculpt the Future Foundation is to promote positive environmental change towards global sustainability by supporting creative, innovative and sustainable action.
We recognise that a little money can go a long way with youth driven, grass roots organisations and small initiatives whose biggest assets - passion and commitment - come free of charge.
The Foundation has no endowment and will also seek to increase the Foundation's resources over time to support more young people inspired by David's adventures.
