We're Back! Sorry! Here's 2012 At a Glimpse!

By Stiv Wilson on December 07, 2011

Well, well. Sorry to our loyal plastic pollution fighters! We were in tech hell for a little while, working to get our website updated with all our projects for 2012. But, stay tuned, as we'll be updating the site tirelessly from here on out. What's coming? Tools for activists for Bag Bans, interactive descriptions of our routes. Scientific papers on our findings being published and much, much more. Have you signed up for our Newsletter? It's Launching next week! Sign up here!

Here's a quick and dirty rundown of what we have happening in 2012. Boy o boy are we busy!

Our major programs for 2012 are as follows:

India Youth Summit

Japanese Tsunami Debris Expedition

Great Lakes Expedition (that's the ship we're going to hitch a ride on!)

Fall Bicycle Outreach Tour (The East Coast)

Education and Curriculum Programs

Right now, we're all busy working on grants and corporate sponsorships to support our truly innovating programs which operate at the intersection of science, outreach, education, and advocacy. As always, we'll be updating from our expeditions and will keep you posted on when you can see 5 Gyres folks, speaking the good word in your hometown.

And please consider helping our cause! Donate to 5 Gyres, and help us spread the word by suggesting to your friends to 'like' us on Facebook!

Stay tuned, we have a lot of exciting news to share on our blog in the coming months.

Thanks from the 5 Gyres Team and Ambassadors-
