    Lovely to see the fishermen join in the clean up. Where I live we get a lot of fishing net and line wash up on our beaches together with other fishing related items.

    Lovely to see people coming together and working for nature. Would love to see a similar system that exists in Sweden where we reuse most bottles. Even an empty bottle is worth money(you add that cost when it's purchased) and then there is a huge incentive to bring them back to the store. At the store there is a station that crunches the bottle and then it goes to recycling. It works great and there are hardly any bottles in nature.

      All communes, regions, federal states and the overall gov body in Germany spent nearly 10 billion altogether for ecological affairs, mainly preservation, restauration, cleaning up and the like, not just in Germany alone. I think TOC is quite far away from that scale.

      It's not really that hard. It's the scale that makes the difference.
      I'm an old lady and I've been on plastic cleanups in the St. Lawrence River in Canada. We had about 10 people (with boats) and we collected about 50 bags of plastic and other waste from one island, mostly by walking around the shoreline.
