Tale of The Thing Cleaning up Plastic in the Oceans


This story crossed my path 3 years ago now, and it sounds like the project is still going strong.  Since 2013, a non profit group started by an 18 year old in the Netherlands, have been busy cleaning up plastic from the ocean's 5 garbage patches, and 1,000 most polluting rivers.  The
Big Thing is called System001; luckily, this group is dedicated to getting it best, launching better- System002, this year, 2021.

Forest Giants



 

I saw this video in April, 2021, and thought, wow.  A man singlehandedly planted a forest of nearly 840 acres in the middle of a barren desert island, creating a regenerative landscape. What I like most about this is the man's commitment to continue planting more forest, and protect the forest he planted, for as long as he lives.
