The Ocean Cleanup
There are many groups working on the ocean plastic issue. Here is one that I love to tell people about: the Ocean Cleanup. Below is the short version of their work from their website:
“The Ocean Cleanup is a non-profit organization developing and scaling technologies to rid the oceans of plastic. To achieve this objective, we use a dual strategy: intercepting plastic in rivers to cut the inflow of pollution, and cleaning up what has already accumulated in the ocean and won’t go away by itself. When the oceans are clean, we can put ourselves out of business.”
