When we learned last year that Electrolux wanted to educate the public about plastic pollution by creating a special, custom Vacuum cleaner using gyre plastic, we immediately took notice.
Many conversations later, Electrolux launched a contest to put a crew member/blogger on a 5 Gyres expedition, and we're thrilled to see her first reports from Southern Chile!
The contest was fantastic, with top notch video entries from all over the world. We loved winner Brit Ligget's entry - creative, smart and adorable - and can't wait to hear more of her observations - "sea" for yourself here", and check back for more reports from Brit!
One of our goals with 5 Gyres is to bring people out to witness plastic marine pollution first hand - journalists, scientists, artists, filmmakers, photographers, bloggers, and everyday concerned citizens. There is simply no more powerful motivator than seeing that our planet's last frontier, the ocean, is covered with a thin confetti of plastic garbage.
Interested in joining a voyage? Give us a shout.....you just might be our next crew member.
