The Ocean Cleanup is already working on 10 rivers/in countries like Indonesia,/Malaysia,/Vietnam,/the Dominican Republic,/and the United States.
Our latest site is the Río Motagua in Guatemala. In the first three weeks alone,/we collected 816 tons of trash. Of this amount,/272 tons was plastic. This is more than all of the plastic waste/that flows into the ocean from France/in one year.
Plastic pollution harms the environment,/damages the economy,/and can threaten the health of people in coastal areas. Plastic is one of the biggest threats/our oceans face today.
Reducing plastic use/is good for the environment,/but it is difficult. This doesn’t mean/that there is nothing/we can do about it. We know effective solutions exist.
Collecting plastic in rivers/is the most economical method/to reach our goal. But there is no time to waste.
