BREAKING: The Ocean Cleanup just announced the next big step in scaling Interceptor deployments worldwide: a 30-city program to cut ocean plastic pollution from rivers by up to one-third by 2030.
The ocean… 🌊💙
sustains life,
regulates climate,
hosts biodiversity,
buffers storms,
produces oxygen,
holds untold wonder.
Yet, we’ve polluted its depths and pushed it to the brink.
On #WorldOceanDay and every day, let’s act to #SaveOurOcean.

Merry Christmas to all who care for and about our rivers! It’s great to be part of such an active, engaged and determined community. We are conjoined as travellers following a star, or tributaries making for the sea. #strongertogether. (Brent Lodge Park, JE Walduck 1975)
