The Plastic Treaty isn’t “Dead,” and there’s a lot that could be done today, nationally, without it… so let’s not get slowed down waiting for perfection….

Showing the way on Woman’s Day w/our Harvest Plastic Program in Lombok & over 300kg of clean, uncontaminated plastic from over 100 households, with over 85% recovery rate ….. all via smart, creative ways for societal change. Totally doable virtually anywhere. #harvestplastic

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!!

The Net Man continues thrive in California, after a long stint with his brother in Hong Kong - representing the issues the ocean has with “ghost nets” and old fishing gear…

Thanks to Beach Plastic from Judith and Richard Lang.

Is “Waste” a Barrier to the Circular Economy? Sounds contradictory, because circularity needs “waste” to run its engine. No one seems to see this with plastic…. https://t.co/vapwm7gx3l

Creating “Jurisdictional Upswell” with local communities in Cambodia and Indonesia via our Harvest Plastic program. “Harvesting” all types of plastic, uncontaminated, directly from households, makes a giant impact for recycling.

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.
