This photo was taken from the back of #Outram yesterday. Historically, the river and the @derby_canal were essential to the Silk Mill's success as they provided power and transport. We are using the river once again as a zero emission way to travel and wind down at the weekend!

According to our projections, we expect to be able to clean the entire Great Pacific Garbage Patch (containing 100,000,000kg of plastic) using ten systems based on System 03.
