A documentary web series about littering in Swiss waters.
It is well known that we have to save the oceans because they are full of plastic waste. But what about the waters in Switzerland? Little is spoken or reported about this.
"Lit(t)erweise" / "By the Lit(t)er" is a documentary web series that deals with littering in Swiss waters. An underestimated local topic that also has global impacts. A professional fisherman, a waste diver and an environmental activist, three people who are actively doing something about waste in Swiss waters or are affected by it, lead through the problem.

During her divemaster training, the problem of waste in the world's oceans became more and more obvious to her and that this is a global problem, but a cause for which can also be found in the local waters of “clean” Switzerland.
