We can help
Submitted by jeff h coffman on Tue, 12/29/2009 - 14:52I am the director at Clean Green Technology, Inc. based out of Huntington Beach, CA. We have developed a layered approach to this catastrophic challenge we call the North Pacific Plastic Gyre. We have designed 8 devices to clean up debris both for the open ocean as well as the land based debris entering the ocean from our rivers. We have a team of 14 engineers and scientists along with 18 advisers to assist with our mission. We have developed or have access to curriculums for an “Educational Out-Reach Program” for the consumers of all ages.
Amazing turnout from large 300+ email blast
Submitted by kdreger on Wed, 12/23/2009 - 07:07Again it shows that many groups are not willing to work together. This week after sending out 300+ emails to people who are involved with this effort is some fashion or in the ocean industry ONLY 7 people actually joined this effort! 7 people out of over 300! What does this say about groups and people? Do we really want to resolve this huge problem? Or are we only in it for the self credit it will bring us personally or corporate wise?
