Grate Art for Awareness along the new Tsui Ping River in Hong Kong!! It’s Grate because these plaques are placed along the sidewalks to remind people not to dump litter in the storm grates which drain to the waters. Go see if you can find them!!

Smiles from the Harvest Plastic Rewards Program. Every 2kg collected could create a winner! This has caused immediate diversion from burning and dumping to rivers, because why miss the chance to win a reward! Game On - Harvest Plastic.

Ironically, like the terrorists on the ocean in Somalia (which scared the illegal fishing fleets away), this might be one of the best things for the ocean - "fear" of fishing and consumption, meaning that ocean life has space and time to rejuvenate. https://t.co/T97Pmq1uHS
