After two trips, our offshore crew is on their way back to port with a massive haul of plastic: over 55,000 kg out of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and going back to shore for recycling - to keep it out of our oceans permanently.

This week we had our largest ever extraction from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch: 11,353 kg of plastic out of the ocean for good.
As we transition to System 03, we see that increasing system size leads to bigger catches.

That people incite terror in parents at the notion of possible public outrage at their child’s crying on a plane is one of the weirder things about society that I will just never understand.

INTERCEPTOR 006: BIGGEST CATCH SO FAR

On Monday, July 31, we hit a new record in the Rio Las Vacas, Guatemala: 85 truckloads of trash removed and prevented from reaching the Caribbean Sea - all in a single day.

The notion of a white genocide has always been based on the fear that black people would treat white people with the same violence that white people have used against black people throughout history. It's a racist trope based on guilt. Just stop it. Please🙏🇿🇦❤️

What an absolutely phenomenal team and game of football 😭😭😭 Here is to hoping that this result leads to greater support and financing for the women’s game.
