"TahitiPetey"

Welcome to the TahitiPetey® Foundation website, my name is Peter "TahitiPetey" Ortmann, Founder and President of the Foundation, a privately funded organization based in British Columbia, Canada.

Over the past several years, we have all been through some unbelievable life challenges, and I worked tirelessly to refine and launch my core Foundation programs and projects with limited success.

As the global economy around us collapsed, creating a lack of available credit and declining corporate sponsorships for new programs and projects like I proposed, it became all but impossible to accomplish all of my objectives.

Of course, out of every new challenge comes a new opportunity to rethink your goals and I am pleased to announce that I will continue to promote my Clear Blue OCEANS plastic waste reduction awareness initiative and seek to develop my very special and personal project, the Marissa's Reef For Heavenly Helpers project.

To fund the above projects I am expanding my private invitation only FoundersClub membership program from 50 close associates to a maximum of 100 members to provide additional monthly self-funding cash flows for our projects.

Each of  exclusive FoundersClub Members pays a $250 monthly membership fee that allows us to refine and design our Marissa's Reef project and other goals.

But the FoundersClub is much more! We use a portion of these monthly fees to play LottoMAX, one of Canada's most popular weekly lottery games, pool our winnings and share 75% of them with our members on an equal basis (similar to an employee lotto pool). You can learn more about the FoundersClub under its tab on this web site.

If nothing else, I remain determined to build a powerful new voice for our oceans in an effort to reverse the damaging trends of plastic waste in general, and ocean plastic waste in particular, which is killing millions of sea birds, fishes and marine life annually.

The simple fact is that most people today simply have no idea just how bad the plastic waste issue in general has become or just don;t care! As a result, many view the impact of one-time only use of convenience-based plastic food and beverage packaging as a non-issue. I aim to change these views with your help!

To better understand just how much we have damaged our oceans over the past 50 years, please watch the short video below featuring Dr. Sylvia Earle, a well-respected marine scientist as she shares some truly unbelievable facts you need to know!

As Ms. Earle says in this video, "NO Blue, No Green" and I certainly agree with her on that view. Our world has many important environmental issues that must be dealt with, but the oceans should be at the top of everyone's list. They represent our largest natural food resource.

The ocean's problems will not correct themselves, it is up to all of us to collectively help make the word BLUE as powerful and as important as the word Green has become today. Not just through the eco-statements of our most popular brands or the false promises of our politicians, but by working together to spread the message of change and becoming more sustainable ourselves.

We can no longer keep our heads in the sand and ignore our oceans or their importance on our lives. We MUST become more aware and address the ocean problems we face if we ever hope to correct them. That is what I hope to help accomplish with the support of my private FoundersClub Members, and through our Clear Blue OCEANS Initiative.

It's not going to be an easy task, but you can help us reverse the growing trend of plastic waste in general, and ocean plastic waste in particular starting today! By simply using and buying less products packaged in plastic containers, mainly beverage bottles, and demand that our retail stores and manufacturers change their packaging.

By working Together we can effect real change and we MUST!.
