One Tree Planted

The Ocean Cleanup

Every year, millions of tons of plastic enter the oceans primarily from rivers. The plastic afloat across the oceans – legacy plastic – isn’t going away by itself. Therefore, solving ocean plastic pollution requires a combination of stemming the inflow and cleaning up what has already accumulated.

Founded in 2013, The Ocean Cleanup is a non-profit organization, and is developing advanced technologies to rid the world’s oceans of plastic. The Ocean Cleanup is a registered charity as a ‘Stichting’ in the Netherlands, and a 501(c)(3) in the US.

*Meow, meow* I know what you’re thinking – that’s a cute cat. Thank you. I’ve got the same Riker charm as my namesake, Commander Riker from Star Trek.

Being a Ragdoll from Alberta, I fit in pretty well with the other dogs of the GAIA family, as I’m a cuddly cat.

So thank you for all the pets, love, and attention – I like that almost as much as Inaba Churu.
