Just wanted to share a little good news
Dutch founded but USA based company "The Ocean Cleanup" has removed over 50
MILLION pounds of plastic waste from the ocean JUST THIS YEAR and is now cautiously optimistic that humans are starting to "turn the tide" on plastic based waste in our oceans.
this is very far from saying we have the issue licked its saying we are starting to get CLOSE to realistically removing more year over year remove than is being put in, and thats pretty huge.
short video on it, shit like this keeps me in the game baby, rich smart motherfuckers putting their money where their mouth is to keep mother nature from erasing us is badass and exactly where our tax money SHOULD go but no
we have 21 airport ornaments and flyover fodder for the princely sum of 44 BILLION
while these guys need 7.5 billion to get rid of the great pacific garbage patch. Shows our politicians long term thinking dosent it?
