Hope the reduction in foreign aid is upheld in the Commons this afternoon. Charity starts at home! then perhaps Plasticseize can obtain a grant to enable it to go out to sea and start recovering floating plastic. The Dutch did it!
Interesting article by @MattMcGrathBBC about all female crew going to investigate the N Pacific garbage patch for plastic. See latest blog by @Plasticseize about plastic in N Atlantic.

Plasticseize visited the world's largest M&S food store at Southampton @M&S. Spoke with Rebecca who was explaining about the "take your own container" principle and filling up with dry goods/cereal etc. Generally 30p cheaper. Has been very very popular and saving plastic.

Our thoughts are with all those people in the Philippines impacted by the Typhoon. People have lost their lives. Imagine all the plastic that has been washed out to sea. This is where we could help when we are up and running. #TyphoonPhanfone
