Great work @TheOceanCleanup@BoyanSlat but I agree, visualising this data is hard for most. So looking at it like this......100,000kg of common consumer plastic waste like this......with a rough packing density of 16 lbs/ft3 (256.295 kg/M3) in a bale like this..

#UCDInConversation: Crisis Driven Innovation: Adaption Through Technology
Colin Keogh, co-founder of Open Source Ventilator and @rapidfoundation and engineer @UCDEngArch, in conversation with Colman Farrell, Head of Programme Development @UCD_Innovators. https://t.co/bhoonu4ilj
This initiative has the support and authorization of the Island Council of La Palma, this being the entity that will directly manage the amounts donated to alleviate the damages caused to those affected.
The purpose of this initiative is to create a channel that serves to allow anyone who wishes to donate and facilitate access to the bank account that Cabildo Insular de la Palma (https://t.co/zK2otPjBHt) has opened for this purpose.....
...I can attest to their openness, innovation and dedication. One of these entrepreneurs was Andrés Sanfiel González, a leader in the #Palma startup space who has now decided to help those affected by the #LaPalmaVolcano rebuild via his "Help La Palma" initiative.
While the world looks on in awe at the power of Nature, many people on #LaPalma have had their lives destroyed by the #CumbreVieja volcanic eruption.
Having had the pleasure of advising some amazing Palma based Entrepreneurs via the EU Co-Working program with @impacthub Network.
Amazing 3d render of what the inside of a human cell looks like made from the combination of x-ray, NMR and cryoelectronic microscope data sets. It's gorgeous.
