At the UN Plastics Treaty negotiations today. Not the type of environment I feel comfortable in. But: it’s encouraging to have seen the plastic pollution problem grow from something most people I spoke to hadn’t heard of to now being discussed by all countries on Earth.
Officially collected a sh*t-ton of trash. Super thankful for all of you, our supporters, corporate and government partners, operators and of course the team for getting us to this point! Next milestone to aim for = 100m kg

The Ocean Cleanup is currently testing System 03, a massive plastic pollution collection device that captures tons of floating debris in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
BREAKING: We just made our largest ever plastic catch. Interceptor 006 in the Rio Las Vacas, Guatemala, stopped 272 truckloads of trash - equal to 1.4 million kg (3.1 million lbs) - from flowing into the Caribbean Sea. All in a single evening.
LATEST: The first flush of 2024’s rainy season and Interceptor 006 is already preventing tons of trash from flowing into the Caribbean Sea from the Rio Las Vacas, Guatemala. Will this be our largest river catch ever? Keep an eye on our channels while our crew works round the…

Now we have concrete evidence that Green Party members altered the conclusions of experts in order to stop a reconsideration of nuclear in Germany. The decision to continue the shut down of nuclear plants in the country even after the invasion of Ukraine has been baffling to…
NEW - Top officials of the Green party falsified expert judgments and thus misled the public in Germany on the "nuclear phase-out," internal documents show.
Here's another look at the latest trash flush in Guatemala, where Interceptor 006 captured 272 truckloads (1.4 million kg / 3.1 million lbs) of trash in one night.
Don’t these people know it’s more effective to throw soup on a painting!?
This floating #Solar-powered garbage truck could help clean our oceans by extracting around 110,000 lbs of trash from a river each day. (Mashable) #Pollution #Environment
News are erupting in Germany that the parliament's decision to go through with the nuclear phase-out was partly based on false information that seems to have been deliberately falsified. cicero.de/innenpolitik/r…
In one night, Interceptor 006 from The Ocean Cleanup stopped 1.4 million kg (3.1 million lbs) of trash from entering the Caribbean Sea by cleaning up Rio Las Vacas in Guatemala.
The statistic that people are sharing — that 50% of books sell less than a dozen copies, etc. — isn't accurate. This claim first went viral 2 years ago, and I bookmarked this back then. The actual figures provided by BookScan: bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0d… / countercraft.substack.com/p/no-most-book…

@BoyanSlat @Greenpeace I think my favourite bit was their idea that earlier failures are somehow a sign that @TheOceanCleanup isn’t a solution. The rest of us following the story of how you got to where you are now understand this iterative approach to engineering is just how things develop.
@BoyanSlat @Greenpeace Greenpeace is evil. If it's any conselation: They also block golden rice there by preventing blindess and even death due to lack of vitamin A.k Greenpeace has become an NGO where people mind thier jobs more than the planet.
@BoyanSlat @Greenpeace It's almost laughable. Imagine living in a world without the ability to think "yes, and"
