The Ocean Cleanup has partnered with Clean Harbours Jamaica and the GraceKennedy Foundation to deploy a range of Interceptors throughout Kingston’s drainage gullies, aiming to prevent an estimated 1000 tons of trash flowing yearly into Kingston Harbour, and further into our oceans.
Interceptor 015 is the latest deployment in Jamaica, deployed in November 2024. Here’s the story of its deployment.

What was once polluting the middle of the ocean for possibly decades and harming marine life can now be turned into something with a positive impact."

Mission Statement [reviwed and edited 24-12-21]
[but don't hold me to it]
After the devastating Dutch elections [‘23-11-22] I decided to dedicate my toots back to the original goal.
I care about a lot of issues, most global some national; but I won't be 'tooting' about them all.
First and formost I WANT to 'toot' about:
* #ClimateSolutions
Because I trust that most people reading know about the dreadfull future of climate change, I want to spread the, possible, solutions to a problem rather than reiterate on the problem.
* #ClimateJustice
One of those solution might be sueing the polluters or governments on human rights, violations or #Ecoside
* #ClimateAction
Action is by all means a solution.
* #ClimateEmergency
* #Climate
As said I want to focus on the global issue. I don't want to nitpick on too much principles. Like: "What's worse: eating cows or driving diesel?" Both are devastating behaviors of intitled rich people!
On the otherhand therefore I truly respect ANY effort to make a change for the better.
Most of all... I want to add instead of preach. Bring some bits of the puzzle to the table.
I'm NOT a scientist of any kind. I'm just a disabled old white guy typing on a desk reading and searching a lot.
I tend to toot 10-15 toots at 13:00* that I boost again unchanged at 20:00* the same day, but that's NOT a promise. [*=my [Amstedam] time]
I might be interested in: #StopCopCity #ClimateFinance #Capitalism #Energy #USpolitics #Ukraine #Europe #Bernie #XR #OceanCleanup #NextBlue #InductionCooking #TaxTheRich #Africa #FemaleSoccer #Ajax #WomensRights #Indigenous #BigOil #Greta #CityDesign #VanessaNakate #2030 #Wildfires / #Floods #IPCC #AOC and more.
But after a year or two there appear to be 4 general topics: #Climate #Gaza / #IsraeliGenocide #USpolitics and #Ukraine
I tend to follow anyone who 'retoots' or 'favourites' my toots. Forget it, I'm vain.
If any of my 'followers' wants to opt out... this is your chance, as always.

Our river deployments act as catalysts, intercepting plastic and enabling communities to drive systemic change upstream. It's a collaborative effort.
While deploying Interceptor 015 in Kingston, we took a moment to discuss the future with the locals:"

From trash we intercepted in the Rio Las Vacas, Guatemala, to Coldplay's new record. Here's the story of how The Ocean Cleanup and Coldplay co-created a first-of-a-kind product: the limited Notebook Edition LP of the band's 10th album 'Moon Music' manufactured using plastic caught by Interceptor 006 in Guatemala in 2023."

"Nov 13, 2024
On Saturday, November 9th, we participated in the Great Mangrove Cleanup organized by our local partners. 8238 kg / 18,164 lb of waste no longer harms the vital ecosystems of Kingston’s mangroves, thanks to local communities around Kingston coming together. Along with our operations, we have directly intercepted over two million kilograms (4.4M lbs) of trash that would otherwise enter the harbor."

"Oct 10, 2024
Interceptor 021 is our latest river deployment and the second Interceptor to be deployed in Guatemala. 
In less than a month, it has prevented about 500,000 kg of trash from flowing into the Caribbean Sea.
To accommodate for the size of the river, the flow speeds we can expect, and the need to withstand the impact force of tree trunks hitting it, Interceptor 021 measures 158 meters in length and has a draft of about 1 meter. This makes it our largest Interceptor deployed to date.
This project is a collaboration with Guatemala’s Environmental Ministry (Ministerio de Ambiente y Recursos Naturales de Guatemala, or MARN). MARN already operates a plastic collecting and sorting facility in El Quetzalito, and will take responsibility for the operations and waste management."

@incrediblemelk Ha, do you watch the ocean clean up people pulling plastic out of the rivers and the great pacific garbage patch? They have interceptors all over the world. I find it incredibly satisfying to see people doing great things.

@LeftistLawyer Being cynical is easy, hope involves work (or supporting those who do the work) https://youtu.be/_eHoibY4Rjw #plastics #oceanCleanup
One of the most positive things on the webs is watching the rubbish pulled from the #GreatPacificGarbagePatch.
If they can raise enough money they can complete a job in less than a decade.

"Aug 16, 2024
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is the largest accumulation of floating ocean plastic in the world, containing approximately 100,000 tonnes of plastic (equivalent to more than 740 Boeing 777s). It is located halfway between Hawaii and California, over 2400 km (1500 miles) from civilization. Our offshore crew spends seven weeks at a time in the GPGP; we asked them what's the hardest part of their job and why they do it."

India in this decade can have and achieve the goal of cleaning all its 17 rivers in the next 5 years, if we convince the government to get these robots.
