PROTECT OUR OCEANS 

Our global ocean commons are in peril and need your help

 
Our oceans are the last great frontier on this planet and they are currently facing an unprecedented threat. In the last few decades, we have become unsustainably efficient at catching fish and transporting them to any part of the world. Our global fishing fleet is currently at two-and-a-half times what our oceans could handle. Beyond that, illegal fishing and overfishing threatens to further deepen this imbalance. Most illegal fishing targets developing nations, robbing the poorest people on the planet of food and income. As soon as laws and policies are enacted, these environmental criminals find ways around them. 


SO, WHAT WE NEED IS A BETTER WAY TO WATCH OVER OUR OCEANS.

The Problem

Recycling is a process to change (waste) materials into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to plastic production. Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and is the third component of the "Reduce, Reuse and Recycle" waste hierarchy.

Recyclable materials include many kinds of glass, paper, metal, plastic, textiles, and electronics. The composting or other reuse of biodegradable waste—such as food or garden waste—is also considered recycling.[2] Materials to be recycled are either brought to a collection center or picked up from the curbside, then sorted, cleaned, and reprocessed into new materials bound for manufacturing.
