My take on why we all together need to clean up the plastic crisis. And by all I mean NGOs, Coroporations, Government and all of us.

9 years ago today, the #TokioExpress was hit by a rogue wave and spilled a container full of LEGO into the sea. Adrift is a beautifully presented book that tells the story of this unlikely cargo spill without making light of the very serious problem of plastic pollution.

"Bringing feminist science and technology studies approaches to materiality together with hydrohumanities critiques of terracentrism, Kim De Wolff shows how ocean plastic pollution is shaped by land/water divides and the fluidities that defy them."

A team of researchers has collected data in the Pacific Ocean in order to track the routes taken by floating plastic debris. The international organization "Plastic Change" is helping to raise awareness about the increasing pollution of our oceans by plastic.

World's Ocean Plastic Waste list. Most ocean plastic waste comes from just a handful of countries with poor waste management, no surprise there in that list. What’s shocking is how little awareness and action we still have globally on this. Rivers carry vast amounts of plastic into oceans every day, mostly from Asia and some African nations. When plastics reach the oceans, then we all get affected #OceanPlastic #PlasticPollution #WasteManagement

The little #Skateboard company #KapeSkateboards [1] from #Linz, #Austria just released their first "Vanguard" deck. It is fully produced from #oceanplastic and #glassfiber. They produce the deck inhouse in Linz. It took them 5 years and about 1000 prototypes to develop it.

Coca-Cola by itself is responsible for 11% of all identifiable plastic pollution. Eleven percent! And they've fought tooth and nail against any legislation that makes them responsible for it.

New study by CSIRO and the University of Toronto sheds light on the true extent of plastic pollution in our oceans. Researchers estimate a staggering 3-11 million metric tons of plastic debris currently resides on the ocean floor, potentially 100 times more than what floats on the surface.

A Cyanotype: from prepared exposure to final image. An experiment for the Jetsam series.

1st - exposure of layers of plastic on top of cyanotype paper in a contact frame. Exposed for about 6 hours.

2nd - post-exposure / pre-development. The crucial step! Judging when to stop exposure is the hardest thing to learn

3rd - post-development 'final' image. Texture and structure as hoped!

A first experiment with Jetsam.

This is using lots of fragments of plastic matter of all kinds, but essentially 2D.

I am layering up to 5 or 6 pieces, as I want to develop texture.

The idea is that these fragments of memories come together to create a new composite memory. Perhaps in the way a socially-shared memory differs from the way any single individual might remember it.

A new superbug has been discovered that can devour ocean plastic. The bacterium, named Ideonella sakaiensis, can break down PET, a common type of plastic used in bottles and clothing. The superbug could help solve the problem of plastic pollution, but it also raises questions about its ecological impact and potential applications. #Superbug #OceanPlastic #Nautilus https://nautil.us/the-superbug-that-devours-ocean-plastic-412863/

@wandrew

Don't know whether you laughed or were horrified at what you saw.

This clearly demonstrates just how dangerous plastics can be for wildlife when tossed aside once contents have been devoured.
