“Cleaning up ocean garbage patches is critical,” writes Boyan Slat of The Ocean Cleanup. “But if we don’t also stop more plastic from flowing into the oceans, we will never be able to get the job done.” nyti.ms/3BWU838

"But if we are to halt the flow of plastic into our oceans in the near future, then we must focus our actions on the polluting rivers that carry most of it there." nytimes.com/2023/05/25/opi…

Is! (and @theoceancleanup we are actually doing this - theoceancleanup.com/rivers)

Another milestone in Guatemala: we have now removed over one thousand truckloads of trash from the Rio Las Vacas. 🇬🇹 This is our toughest river challenge so far, but we’re continually working to improve Interceptor 006 and keep tons of plastic from entering the Caribbean Sea.

Today it's exactly 7 years ago since we chartered a C-130 aircraft (one which was previously used to drop cars from the sky for a scene in Fast & Furious) to map the Great Pacific Garbage in unprecedented detail. IMO still one of the coolest projects we've done to date ✈️

Sweet memories indeed. These early big steps were quite something to be part of.

Happy to see @theoceancleanup sunglasses getting a great review. Too bad they sold out (theoceancleanup.com/sunglasses/)! What Our Editors Used and Loved in March 2024&url=triathlete.com/gear/what-our-…
