The plastic pollution problem is a global issue that transcends countries, governments, industries, neighborhoods and levels of development. Currently most of everyone’s focus goes to changing consumer behavior and policy change, but companies have their share of responsibilities as well. There is so much they can do to reduce, reuse, innovate, communicate and in general make an effort to avoid single-use plastics to also make sure plastic doesn’t end up in our environment.
El problema de la contaminación por plásticos es un tema global que trasciende países, fronteras, gobiernos, industrias, barrios y niveles de desarrollo. Tal vez nos enfocamos mucho en los consumidores y legislación, pero las empresas tienen grandes responsabilidades también. Pueden reducir, reusar, rediseñar, innovar, comunicar y hacer un esfuerzo para evitar el uso excesivo de plásticos de un solo uso (desechables) en general y así asegurar que no termine más plástico en el medio ambiente.
Diario personal de nuestra directora científica Camila hrendt, quien estuve a bordo los 19 horas completas de la travesía y record mundial de Sarah Ferguson.
En esos 19 horas mantuve ese log personal, aparte de sus tareas oficiales a bordo como marcar el GPS, sacar photos cada 30 minutos para el registro oficial y coordinar entre el equipo Sudafricano, el equipo del yate en los autoridades.
En su diario personal Camila observó la vida a bordo, las conversaciones entre los individuos, las condiciones del nado y todas las emociones que surgen cuando eres parte de un evento tan épico. Este es una recuenta de su diario, sin editar.

In her personal log she observed life on board, what went on behind the scenes, the swimming conditions and all the emotions that come about when you are part of such an epic event. This is an unedited recount of events, straight from the log.
