The Drive Behind Our Mission | Podcast Clip

“The passion stems from wanting to make a positive contribution, to leave a positive legacy in the world.” - Suleman Audu, Environmental Manager. In our latest podcast, Suleman takes us from his schoolboy Environmental Club days back in Nigeria to his vital role in our mission: making sure our river deployments bring the right benefits for the people living alongside them.
Every river is unique - and so is every riverside community, particularly when the river is vital for local needs. Suleman explains how he and his colleagues work to understand plastic pollution from the local’s point of view - and use our deployments to help them solve it.

You guys are a huge inspiration! And remember folks we gotta do our part too!

Hey TOC crew! Microwave plastic pyrolysis to make the fuel to run the ships. There are billions of $ of oil in the ocean in the form of plastic. Help make used plastic a valuable resource by developing a system to convert plastic waste into energy. The microwave development invented by @natureJab along with motors that use the fuels is the key to making plastic waste valuable.

[@sternenhimmel4637]

That would not be a solution to make a healing planet. Co2 waste is the result. It is fossile fuel. No matter whether direct or via plastic.

[@em945]

That would be amazing if it were able to be done safely!

[@GudasWorld]

@@em945 you should check it out, its in the prototype phase now but the tech is solid. The microwaves solves the issue of pyrolysis being a nearly 0 sum equation by lowing the input energy requirements.

On the river barriers can you not have a removal section or link that the conveyor boat has easier access to remove trash. I'm sure you have already thought of this but just my two cents

[@VinayakNarsule]

I just hope you come to India there are a lot of polluted holy rivers I really hope your contribution will help India tackle this issue....
looking forward to this...

Thank you.

I have been what I thought was very environmentally friendly until I met some American Indians at a conference several years ago and wow did I get centered very quickly!! This group is starting to do a great job but humans all over the world really need a VERY powerful wakeup call and all the corporations around the world that only care about sales and especially the extremely dirty criminals running the oil and gas industry.

[@gabrielebruhl1218]

Provide Dumpsters UPSTREAM so that trash won't flow DOWN stream. Trash collectors are need all along streams

[@poojachandan3284]
