Dave Jones and Jamie Carragher are going to #passonplastic to celebrate the one-year anniversary of Sky's Ocean Rescue campaign

Jamie Carragher and MNF presenter Dave Jones have pledged to #PassOnPlastic to mark the one-year anniversary of Sky's Ocean Rescue campaign.

Sky has committed to transform its business operations by eliminating all single-use plastics from its operations, products and supply chain by 2020 and the Monday Night Football team are joining in with a promise of their own.

Before the game between Swansea and Liverpool, Carragher and Jones took some time out to let everyone know they will #PassOnPlastic from now on.

Launched on 24th January 2017, Sky Ocean Rescue aims to shine a spotlight on the issues of ocean health, particularly single-use plastic, and inspire people to make small everyday changes.

As a business, Sky has committed to going single-use plastic free by 2020 and has made progress on this journey, including; removing all single-use plastic water bottles from its offices, saving approximately 450,000 single-used plastic bottles in a year; creating an ocean friendly café at its headquarters to test out ways of going single-use plastic free, launching the Sky Soundbox which had single-use plastic free packaging.
