#STOPSUCKING

Founders Adrian Grenier and Lucy Sumner and their NYC/Seattle/LA based Lonely Whale Foundation is dedicated to bringing people closer to the world’s oceans through education and awareness, inspiring empathy and action for ocean health and the wellbeing of marine wildlife.

In their own words (www.lonelywhale.org)

The Lonely Whale Foundation is dedicated to bringing people closer to the world’s oceans through education and awareness, inspiring empathy and action for ocean health and the wellbeing of marine wildlife.

Born out of the full length documentary, 52: The Search for the Loneliest Whale, the Lonely Whale Foundation was created to develop and support a community of ocean advocates through the champion of the Lonely Whale. Calling out at 52 Hz, the Lonely Whale sings at a frequency unrecognized by other whales leading us to believe it lives alone, calling out to no response. Through the story of our whale we are able to confront loneliness and connect with one another, ourselves, and our environment.

Dedicated to bringing people closer to the world’s oceans through education and awareness, inspiring empathy and action for ocean health and the wellbeing of marine wildlife.

#OUREntrepidNetwork – Introducing Boyan Slat and The Ocean Cleanup

www.boyanslat.com

The Ocean Cleanup’s mission is to develop advanced technologies to rid the world’s oceans of plastic.

In their own words (source – https://www.linkedin.com/company/2836723/)

Boyan Slat is a Dutch inventor and entrepreneur creating technologies to solve societal problems. He is the founder and CEO of The Ocean Cleanup, which develops advanced technologies to rid the world’s oceans of plastic. Boyan founded this effort when he was just 16 years old.

The main idea behind The Ocean Cleanup is to let the ocean currents do the work. An installation of Ushaped screens channels floating plastic to a central point. The concentrated plastic can then be extracted and shipped to shore for recycling into durable products. Our passive systems will remove half the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in 5 years.
