Thousands of Eel Traps in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch | The Ocean Cleanup

- Some of the most common objects we extract from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch are eel traps used to catch hagfish. Here's our operations manager, Glen Kissack, explaining what they are in more detail. Subscribe to stay updated: bit.ly/371k8sN.
--
Trash accumulates in five ocean garbage patches, the largest one being the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, located between Hawaii and California. If left to circulate, the plastic will impact our ecosystems, health, and economies. Solving it requires a combination of closing the source, and cleaning up what has already accumulated in the ocean.
The ocean is big. Cleaning up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch using conventional methods - vessels and nets - would take thousands of years and tens of billions of dollars to complete. After fleets of The Ocean Cleanup systems are deployed into every ocean gyre, combined with source reduction, The Ocean Cleanup projects to be able to remove 90% of ocean plastic by 2040.

Why isn't this story on any national news? This clean-up should've been done by governments. Thank you so much Boyan Slat and his magnificent team.
misplaced priorities probably
Governments exist to make rich people richer.
Cuz covid. Look to the money
Quite simply, a story where nobody knows the victims personally, and everyone is a little bit to blame.. Will never beat out a story where everyone is a victim and someone we don't know is to blame.
Most of the Governments of the world want nothing to do with anything that is right and good. They are of the dark and the dark cannot love anything of the light. That would completely ruin their reputations!!
Boyan Slat deserves the Nobel Prize!
He's doing what we just are dreaming of.
That makes him a hero!
If he doesn’t get one within 2 to 3 years it’s a travesty
Peace price would be suitable. Picking attention to these things - which we only now get by seeing the actual items - should bind countries together.
The awareness alone wins him the prize.. 🤜💥🤛
gives the rest of us the wherewithal to combat the issue as well.
I think he will eventually, he really is a hero, and a genius
I think that the whole team should get the price, honestly. But first we need to focus on getting more of this online, both at sea and in the rivers.
You guys are doing one of the greatest things happening on the planet right now. More people need to know about this effort. Thank you for your work.
Really need to keep exposing the fishing industry
Fisherman only know how to take, they only return what is dead back to the sea.
Yes, let's replace fish with cows.
good work. shame your having to pick up someone else trash, but so glad your doing it
No shame. It's their job and livelyhood to clean up the ocean. They're like your local trash collectors on trash day.
@@oriolesfan7807 And when the trash supposed to be in the ocean instead of a container?
@@oriolesfan7807 you’re acting like this is an old thing they’ve been doing for years…
Like bro, do you at all grasp the cost this is to undertake?
They are dragging the ocean with a net which is INCREDIBLY HARD TO DO- with any type of ship and not burn insane amounts of fuel. Just to pick up plastic- which has ZERO DOLLAR VALUE.
It’s not like they are taking this plastic and back here in the states or anywhere in the world they are re just fighting each other to get ahold of this valuable resource, no. It’s literally costing so much to pick this up, all because your neighbor and yourself like the convenience of easy pre packaged bs that you toss when your done.
This is OUR faults. This isn’t a job, this is a requirement. And the fact that we are managing to come up with money to do this at all is amazing. But we will feel as citizens this somewhere in the economy. Cause and effect. Nothing is free.
@Feng Please read up on the subject. Sure there are third world countries with little to no proper waste disposal, but they also produce far less waste than we do in the western world, especially plastic waste since they simply don't have it. People in third world countries to not purchase their food pre-packaged in plastic from a super market. This is actually our mess and therefor our responsibility to clean up.
@Feng you should only come play outside with the big kids when you can learn to tie your shoes dude…
Like seriously, Google before you post.
Did you even listen to the actual video? Most those containers come from japan, Korea and the west coast of America…
Last I checked, west coast of America is 1st world bro.
We find these all over the beaches in Hawaii too - need to make the users in this fishery accountable for their actions and change how these traps are managed so this will stop.
@HunterBidensCrackPipe Like your whole life.
Getting Chinese fishing industry to follow rules is fruitless.
Should require adding serial #s on them so they can be traced.
@@ancientbear3280 "Getting Chinese fishing industry to follow rules is fruitless." Exactly right, Bear. The Chinese pollute the oceans with impunity, yet the US gets all the blame from the kids.
CHINA
This is a good visual for why commercial fishing and most commercial industries is the main issue of our plastic problems and not the plastic straws we have in our cups. Start at the source.
That’s really upsetting. Thank you guys for the work you’re doing and bringing this issue to our attention.
Boyan just doing the work while the world is discussing if and when and how.
Agreed. The whole world should be doing what Boyan does.. how fast the problem would be solved. But Boyan is the exception, not the norm.
I'm Shamed to be human. The fact we need Boyan and those like him...
The fact people thoughtlessly pollute and never think twice.
The fact businesses choose to package their products in plastic instead of biodegradable paper to make PENNIES profit per unit is ok.
Consumers and govt agencies alike either turn a blind eye or are complacent because they save a few cents in pass thru savings when companies use the cheaper, less environmentally friendly option.
So it shakes me to be part of this race.
I do my part. As much as 1 person can.
Buy water by gallon and reuse my water bottle. Volunteer for beach cleanups, the annual tree replanting, even compost my food waste for fertilizer and cut down on my garbage. I even ride my bicycle to local errands because even electric cars aren't truly green, yet.
But I'm only 1 person. The power of humans is their strength in numbers.
That means govt needs to MAKE this happen because there are too many greedy, lazy, bad actors out to rely on the individual do the right thing. Sometimes a little nudge is needed. Like getting 5 cents to recycle every bottle. And sometimes we need a shove. With huge fines for littering, etc
Boyan, as in ONE person? Wake up you turkey, he's the most high profile person in this field but it is more than a one man job (as evidenced by this/many videos and common sense).
It's a rare thing when a super-wealthy person is a colossal scumbag.
Most of the super rich just throw some table scraps to random charity's that nebulously "do something" for the PR.
It's amazing to see the plastics that's being taken out of our ocean... What's the time frame for each extraction? How often do you need to go ashore to unload the plastics?
Jenny will be returning to shore every 6 weeks to empty holds and a crew change.
@@theoceancleanup hope you guys have a good luck
hope you guys come to philippines cause its a lot more here, that plastic u get is just 0.001%
@@theoceancleanup What if you had some kind of "chopper" on board, to reduce the size of large/bulky items. Should make storage somewhat easier; or not worth it because almost everything is already small?
@@theoceancleanup In addition... what is done with the plastics/ other items that are taken out of the ocean.. What is the next step after the items are removed ?
Amazing how such a simple concept of cleaning up after oneself can make such a massive difference.
Thank you for not only doing that massive job but for also putting it online to show the past generations that it actually could be done. I guess it was easier for them to say it was too big of a job and too expensive.
We also have better technology today even if it's just organizing like a crowd fund.
It is always upsetting to see people polluting our planet, but when they are literally destroying the ecosystem that provides their livelihood, that is just mind boggling.
old people don't give a fuck about us
Imagine this: you live in a seaside village where fishing is the main source of income. You use tools available in shops, tools which everybody uses because they are legal. If your neighbor uses such tools and catches 100 fish a day and gives his kids a good life and education, what do you do? You do the same of course, because if you use a more eco friendly approach you might only catch 30 fish a day, or the traps could be more expensive. And if you go eco friendly and make your family suffer for it, how does that change anything if everybody else is using plastic? Bottom line is that the people who actually use these products are not to blame. As long as these are legal, they will be used because they are cheap.
@@cody5495 I'm old. I'm on the side of the Earth. Unfortunately I have to agree with you about most people in my age group.
I'll start kicking them in the crotch for both of us.
@@capcadoi that is true, but there is nothing stopping these people from recognizing how destructive their practices are and lobbying their governments to take action.
@@capcadoi but why throw a plastic eel trap into the ocean when you can take it back to shore and throw it away there? Just needless irresponsibility.
Thanks the Ocean Cleanup team for all your efforts!
May God bless the fellow who’s devoted his time for years to the cause. He’s finally got things started, at least. I have no doubt many will get on board, but this was started by the dream of one man. That’s a courageous man.
@JIMMY PALADINO best comment yet. There are so many selfish hypocrites out there always trying to divert the responsibility away. Then when results happen they'll say something like, "so proud to be a human being because..." when they've never contributed to the cause.
@JIMMY PALADINO You felt some kinda way, just by what I said? That’s weird. Not as weird as your inability to handle those feelings causing you to lash out at me.
@@BestMods168 same with you as the other guy, you felt some kinda way, just by what I said.
That’s weird, too. You got some kinda track record for removing plastic from the center of the Pacific? Please, inspire us.
Love you guys! Thank you for all you do to help the oceans and Mother Earth 🌍
The real heros of this beautiful planet. Well done to everyone involved and thank you for all your hard hard work. God bless. 🙏
You are welcome
1:54 I suspect that the reason for the discrepancy in trap parts you find is that they are not as secure as they could be.
The large part is obviously connected to a line for retrieval so if the hagfish escape or get eaten by something the small part will be dislodged and lost while the large part will be retrieved empty.
Okay boomer
@@jsmith4817 jeez get woke you lame o
@@jsmith4817 let's be friends :D
@@jsmith4817 cool so what happens now
@@jsmith4817 I thought you were my friend tho :C
A huge thank you to all of the crews out there working to clean our oceans! My 5 and 6 year old sons are studying environmental issues and love following the videos of your work. We’re scheduling our own day to pick up garbage around the neighborhood - their idea - so they can be “like the guys getting the ocean clean.”
Thank you for making the world cleaner for my kids. 💕 J in WY, USA
nice story but, dude they kids. its cute and all but..
@@TheEnabledDisabled and those kids decided they wanted to help clean up garbage in the neighborhood.
So very highly respect the work of this organization. One of many great companies that will play an important role in the future. The existence of Ocean Project is in actual fact unfortunate, as the founder and the employees are brilliant and definitely could be solving many other problems. Keep up the great work and keep sharing how people can help!
There are too many more pressing problems, this unstainable plastic lifestyle cannot continue, it is destroying our Beautiful Blue Planet Earth's 🌏 Oceans and Ecosystems, not to mention the Birth Right of Future Generations, all so that we can consume all in sight like there is "no tomorrow".
I really like that Ocean Clean Up has been sorting, categorizing and sifting through the patch. Can the results of the catch be traced to distinct manufacturers of this source of plastic and promote change? What would it take to change maritime fishing production procedures globally?
Bullet to the head is only thing that can change our world. When leaders are afraid of the ppl shit like this would never happen. But as long as the leaders can buy a way out shit will keep getting deeper.
@@vihreelinja4743 people are not ready for this message. It's easier to blame each other and fight laterally than look at the real enemy above. The world is too big and complex for a modern Bastille Day but maybe in our generation it will come.
You could, for instance, on a government level force a tariff on the trade and sale of those eel-traps to reflect clean-up costs and create more value in them to stop the careless use and disposal of a cheap item.
There needs to be some financial accountability as well for their mess. Maybe require fishing operations to brand all of their equipment. If it is found floating in the oceans, they could face fines.
@@vihreelinja4743 when Jacob Zuma was president of South Africa, this was my thought exactly. One marksman and 16 bullets would've sorted our country out...
Asian fisheries are a major impact. You can see the lights at night from space.
he said those are from korea
It would be cool if you could speak to a hagfish fisherman to see if they really do throw away the smaller bits of the trap. That way you can confirm your hypothesis. (My science teacher taught us about the science methods and hypothesis last week)!
My hypothesis would be that the main cages are weighted down so they stick to the bottom. When the trap is lost at sea by accident or storms, the lid part breaks off and floats, the cage sinks to the bottom, unless the weight inside of it is broken off aswell
@@yannai0h Neat! Would there be a way to test out your hypothesis?
@@pawpatrolnews sure there is:
Buy a new trap
I wish everybody would ask questions like you just did. Instead of mindlessly soaking up their saga and nodding their heads in agreement.
@@user-fc2xg5iz7y Thanks! 😁
please make a documentary series of this. This needs to be talked about by the whole planet.
The long part is normally tied to a rope, so that the fishermen can pull the trap to the boat. The long part normally returns to the boat.
The cover a lot of times gets lost in the sea with the waves and the fish trying to get out. Also, when you pull the trap to the boat the shape can deform because is made of plastic and the cover pops off. So a lot more of those parts end in the sea.
A curious bite from a shark or bigger fish would pop it off too. Looks very easy to go missing.
That's the problem with plastic, it's so cheap and easy to replace, tying the cover on isn't even bothered.
@@volvo09 yes bigger fish detects the fish in the trap and try to eat it.
Also the trap is made cheap as possible so the plastic is not that hard to bend and break
Goodness, I would love to be out there sorting and helping you guys. I so appreciate you showing some of the items, and more or less educating us as to some of the culprits in this mess. My sincerest of thanks to you all. We can do better!!
Thank you for cleaning up our oceans. I just got back from recycling 9 bags of paper and plastic to our recycling center and over 10 cardboard boxes. I'm doing what I can to buy less, use less, and recycle more.
There are variables that contribute to this nasty mess in the ocean;
Hurricane weather taking plastics out from the islands or mainland, ship wrecks, Ocean liners dumping, world military ships, fishing ships loosing nets and sometimes purposely and other variables.
This is one of the greatest achievements in my life time, I always imagined this when I first heard about the great floating trash in the Pacific. I wish I could be on board any one of these vessels working on deck and below.
Congratulations team Ocean cleanup!
Well wishes to whoever have to pick those up again but thanks for the showing cuz dang that's a lot, and that's just the floating
Not only just the parts floating, but captured in such a small amount of time.
Find out who uses these traps and regulate their use or demand accountability for how the traps are disposed!
Put a tax on the traps when they are sold that is directed 100% toward ocean cleanup.
@@bobd. So make protein sources more expensive for the people that need them?
@@danielstewart3507 Yes if that food source is harvested in a manner that pollutes our oceans. It's no different than is done with oil or cars and many other items.
It is different. You can't compare food to a luxury item like a car. The tax on oil does not go towards reducing CO2. Increasing the cost of a protein source will make people go hungry.
@@danielstewart3507 i think taxation has to have an exception to native ppls exclusively. everyone else should be taxed way more to access the same resources. if we are over fishing something critical to both the environment and indigenous cultures, it absolutely needs to be taxed as a luxury item like a vehicle.
Thank you for caring and doing what you can to help! 💜💜💜
You guys are the real MVP of our eco-system right now
It's a damn shame what we're doing to our planet.
Me not
Stop doing it then.
We're all in this together, stop buying single using plastic, pick up trash every now and then, spread awareness of this problem. We all need to be part of the solution instead of part of the problem.
what *they*
Doing work but making a difference prob not. Needs 100s of ships like this out there not 1. Go watch videos of Indians dump truck loads of trash in the river like it's it's dump
Very interesting but also sad to see ... keep it up ocean clean up crew, thank you!
Massive thank you to all of you who are doing this 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Depressing to see it, glad there are people like you cleaning it up, that's a great job to have, I always pick up trash when I go fishing at rivers and lakes
Im old enough to remember plastic free beaches. I've fished and surfed literally my entire life. To see the effort made to save our mother oceans is a blessing. Thanks you guys
This shows once again that people will go to extreme measures just to satisfy local and global fish comsumption. For the videos you have show, ghost nets are also a major part of the catch. We got to start respecting our seas before they just collapse.
The reason why fishing gear is found so much more is that it’s made to float, made to not break down in the water.
Thank-you for everything! All of you.
Awesome work Ocean Clean up ! You are doing the hard work, the smart work that everyone needs to see and to learn from. Thank you !
What a shame 😔
Poor planet...
I hope it's not to late.
Thank you so much 🙏
You deserve the Nobel Prize. 🌏
It is too late. People will not change. Just look to Japan, they wrap every single fruit in plastic
@@vomm people like you are part of the problem with that mindset. There's literally millions of people helping to cleanup (World Cleanup Day etc.). Just because YOU don't act doesn't mean others aren't.
The key is change human behavior, it will be imposible to sustain the cleanup efforts if people doesn't stop producing trash
And this is where the plastic manufacturers should be put to shame too.
Too many humans, it is a plague.
It’s not the trash production. It’s the consumption of fish.
@@MakeItMakeSense285 the two are the problem the way fishermans dispose those plastic traps without any concern for the envitomebtal imapct or the way fishermans over used them with no consideration for the impact of overfishing are just two of many examples of wrong human behavior, also people (we) buying products without question urselves how are produce and how will be despose are incorrect behaviors
You are exposing how cruel mankind really is
Thank you and keep the discoveries coming
Its a shame there aren't any company names on the traps or addresses
This is the best thing I have seen in the last decade! Finally someone is doing something about plastics in the ocean instead of wasting time, money, and resources on lip service to the faux threat of climate change! Thank you!
You're doing beautiful work. Unwinding an atrocity.
Glad these plans and objectives are actually starting to get into motion…
Well done, 👏👏👏👏👏
Cleaning up the garbage patch has been a dream of mine. Im glad somebody had the courage to do it
Wow, that's crazy! We have been such lousy houseguests for so long. I hope people really start to be more responsible for doing whatever we can to keep the environment clean.
We? Mindlessly throwing plastics in the ocean is an almost entirely asian and african phenomenon.
It is absolutely necessary, and a great service to all of us, that you keep denouncing which industries are taking from the environment unabashedly.
I wonder what else will come to light. But I'm glad now someone's names it! Thank for your hard work and what you do for our planet!
I hope everybody is doing their part in our own little environment so it could help minimize the trash in the rivers and eventually in the oceans. I am awaiting the next news. Thx for everything! 💗
Thanks for standing up for our planet! Awesome job your doing
you guys are the heros of the world, you make the human race look at itself and smile after we get done hiding our frown, keep up what you are doing and from 1 american...THANK YOU
Insane!
Industrial fishing is the systematic dismantling of life.
Everything about it is abominable.
Yup. Sounds 💯 like industrial fishing. Pollute the environment regardless the environmental cost.
Everything , except the fish, wich is delicious.
@@dislike__button Giraffes are too
Industrial anything is destructive in one way or the other
That’s cute but how else can we feed the world
Absolutely criminal
That's what we need. We need Worldwide regulations that define what can and can not be thrown in the ocean. And also penalties for those who do that can be enforced by the governments within their waters and by units from various countries serving as part of a Ocean Police organized under the UN. Ships from various countries are assigned to patrol duty and work to stop dumping. Put 3D barcodes on products so they can be traced back to who manufactured them and who bought and sold them. Require 24/7 tracking on all ships at all times. Any ship that drops off of tracking should be immediately investigated by the Ocean Patrol using drones or satellites or surface ships. Violators should be announced publicly for the World to see and know who is polluting our oceans.
INFURIATING!!!! INFURIATING. Thank you #OceanCleanup for your wonderful work.
This channel needs 50.000.000 Subs so that they can do their work .No matter what...
🤓 I know what that is!
In my tribe, we do use these traps for fishing. They're hand made from bamboo and lasts decades 🌿
Stop fishing. Eat vegetables.
These were plastic not bamboo 😁
@@almaxx9680 watching this I knew that traditionally they are bamboo.
Obviously low grade plastic has been used on the Asian continent as a way to circumnavigate the time taken to make a bamboo one. I would think these plastic ones are really cheap and don't last long.
Such a shame as bamboo grows easily and is very sustainable.
@@vomm Stop preaching?
@@almaxx9680yes they are, we use bamboo made
The sector or industry that is using such practices should nd needs to be addressed,,,,,,
Ban it or force them to prove they return with same amount of equipment that they left with.
Industrial fishing in international waters is a horrendously polluting industry that nobody monitors. It even hurts the small scale fisheries within an EEZ that do follow rules.
@@tursiopsgirl8 Sanctions against the manufacturers of those black plastic fish traps then. It's either that or we sink those rogue fishing vessels.
You guys are now the heroes and inspiration for a cleaner Ocean and how humans use it . Fantastic thankyou thankyou thankyou . Finally the mindset is changing . Inspiration at its best !!!!
Proud that you guys are out there doing something about it.yall are my heroes man!!!
Thank you for sharing the information 💕
This is amazingly embarrassing and uplifting! ❤️ Thank you so much for taking care of our mistakes! We have to do better for everyone's future!
Glad you are trying to clean up the mess others are making. We are losing to many of ocean life. Everyone needs to do they're part. God bless you
This one possibly the best thing going on in our world right now. Brilliant!
Congrats on your great work guys. Hopefully people will start to understand more about environmental damage.
Jeez, what an enormous waste. The cost of catching those fish is not remotely worth getting them to the table. So grateful to you all, I wish I could come work with you!
Well evidently it is or no one would fish for them
So glad you guys are out there doing this! What fantastic work!
Excellent demonstration. There are so many fascinating people working on many facets of these numerous critical operations associated with this group. I hope you all are feeling immensely satisfied with your work.
I would guess that the big part is found less often because it's tied to the line, and the fishermen are nice enough to not throw it overboard when they pull it in just because they've lost the cap. or they're buying extra caps, so they can still use the big part again.
My assumption as well. Not that difficult to guess. I highly doubt that the cone is discarded by design.
Could be tied to the trap. The cap can't handle the weight of the catch so the catch pushed the cap out. The main trap gets used many time becomes worn. The more times it's used it fails more often. Eventually they throw the whole thing over board. Just my guess though.
Thanks for the consistency on this mission which is greatly appreci-loved
Best people on earth keep going mother nature needs u
Yes! Love what you guys are doing, Godspeed and God bless you all. Thank you!
I think fishermen have a lot to answer for when it comes to the waist left in our oceans.
Getting too big ? Must be all the beer. We should also make them responsible for their waste they leave in the ocean.
What a wonderful species we are, selfish to the end.
Thank you for your efforts. We need to educate people on how precious our WORLD is.
Great to feel connected to the work you do at sea, far away, through these simple yet powerful video's. I'm hooked (punt intended).
Thankyou guys for all the hard work 💜

Fitness, look at bird bath
@@BirdBath1 nice, gave you a few thumbs up. regards
Even though Ocean Clean Up will never be the end of plastic pollution, it's a helluva sampling tool to find plastic pollution sources!
Looks like the makers of these traps need to be exposed so we know who is responsible. Thank you for your work 👍🏻
But they didn’t toss them in the ocean, shouldn’t the fault lay in the fisherman who tossed it or the poor waste management system because they are the ones who put it there not the manufacturer
@@ethanfisher9619 I agree, but many businesses stopped using plastic bags for paper ones ... I am not an expert but maybe the company manufacturing the traps could be encouraged to make them out of bamboo or something... although that might lead to more problems.. either way it's a good idea if they were made aware of it..
@@ethanfisher9619 the manufacturer definitely can have a larger responsibility if they wanted to. They could charge more for the trap so that they can costs to recollect and dispose the faulty ones or use recycled plastic. They could charge less per trap but have a rental system or trade-in system for returning traps instead of throwing them away into the oceans. There needs to be proper incentives for each person in the production chain to make the entire chain work sustainably.
Heartbreaking on two levels,😖
one, the lives taken in the thousands due to these traps,
two, the absolute disregard for responsible disposal of rubbish just tossed into the ocean!
You folks are doing awesome work, and I love you so...... Bless you all.
Thank you for doing this! People who do this to our oceans need to held accountable…and you are cleaning up their trash.

Now I am completely at peace, I would never dream of taking my life, and I truly love and forgive those who harmed me. It truly is an awesome thing when you fully open your heart and learn to trust God again especially when you were also spiritually abused. I still marvel at that one. I never thought I would ever forgive God!! When you find your way back to God and become a Spiritual Master the
most wondrous things happen and you are truly happy all the time. And yes, your emotions are turned back on! And when you love, you truly love, and you are truly loved back. My only prayer is that EVERYONE becomes as emotional as I am.
Namaste friend 😎 🙏 ❤
I found this quite interesting, thank you!
Shame to see that plastic so carelessly discarded, but I suppose leaving it in the sea is cheaper and leaves more space for fish in the cargo hold.
I'm all in favour of a moratorium of large scale fishing for a couple of years. The oceans are more severely damaged than the surface of this planet. We should give it time to recover somewhat.
Keep up the good work.
About damn time someone cleaned up the ocean.
I can only say thank you, and cheers for all you are doing.
Great work
Team seas will help to boost
Every trap, rope and net should have to be tagged in some way and connected to it’s boat. So if it goes astray - we can determine where it came from and who’s responsible.
Is 3 boats wasting all these ”eel-traps” or is it 100? Should we punish a few hard or is it a widespread practice that needs to be adressed?
A special ID-tag for boats & traps would give answers to this.
The factories could easily either just stamp the plastic with a 20-digit id-code or easily place an rfid/nfid chip inside those traps, and mark every separate part too.
Its China.... I would boycott all their shit. People around the world need to start boycotting anything Chinese.
So Thankful for your work. Good job
Congrats on your terrific work! And many many thanks!
Keep up the great work
We need to reduce our own waste production, and help other countries do as well! Fantastic work there OC!
You're an amazing person, and your crew is also. Thanks for what you guys do. 🤟🏻♥️
