A dear friend came up with the vision and name for “Clean Ocean Movement”

Here we shall begin listing the innovations that are arising
for helping to clean up our beautiful oceans
so life on EARTH and Mother Gaia can thrive

We shall also list educational pieces that inform
about the severity of the situation of ocean pollution

We will also include in our Portal Community
Invitations to join in the “Clean Ocean Movement”

A Heart Plan Vision Project
Let’s track huge database of all ocean clean up efforts underway

Examples of Volunteer Efforts

Ocean Divers!  Organize Clean Up Efforts Around the World
“Clean Up The Ocean Floors of Human Generated Trash”

Heart Plan Vision Portal Project IDEAS
This is one of Shema’s Facebook pages where innovations are posted
Ideally we shall we pulling from this FB Community Page
all the related projects on ocean clean up and post them here also
So we can see at a glance all the amazing efforts underway
We need HOPE, these examples will lend towards the possibilities that give hope
And beyond hope, we need to adopt a FEARLESS  commitment

SIGNS OF INNOVATIONS TO CLEAN UP OUR OCEANS

The Ocean Cleanup
“The Ocean Cleanup develops advanced technologies to rid the world’s oceans of plastic. A full-scale deployment of our systems is estimated to clean up 50% of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch every five years.
The Impact of the cleanup:
Our models indicate that a full-scale system roll-out could clean up 50% of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in 5 years.  Research shows the majority of plastic by mass is currently in the larger debris. By removing the plastic while most of it is still large, we prevent it from breaking down into dangerous microplastics.
Combining the cleanup with source reduction on land paves the road towards a plastic free ocean by 2050″

We Can Save The World Extras:E1 – Costa Rica Bans Plastic
Costa Rica Trying to Ban Single Use Plastics by 2021
Part of the plan includes innovative research projects for sustainable replacements for plastic
May we each ask ourselves, how are we individually reducing plastic waste

France Is the First Country to Ban Plastic Cups, Plates, and Cutlery
Starting in 2020, most plastic cups, plates and cutlery will be totally banned.  The new policy outlaws disposable utensils in an attempt to build a more sustainable economy. The only exception will be for disposable items made from biodegradable substances.
The decision follows the country’s total ban on plastic bags last year, in accordance with the Energy Transition for Green Growth Act which aims to transform France into “an exemplary nation in terms of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions, diversifying its energy model and increasing the deployment of renewable energy sources.”
