Initiative Plastich Combines Interdisciplinary Talent to Educate on Plastic Pollution in Hamburg

An Interdisciplinary Team Providing Inclusive Solutions for All

“As soon as we all came together to talk about the plastic waste pollution crisis, we realised that our initially-planned single clean-up would not be enough.”

So tells Tolga Dirikgil of the birth and growth of Initiative Plastich in Hamburg, Germany – which also happens to be one of the newest members of Plastic Oceans International’s BlueCommunities program.

Mudfish No Plastic: Enfatizando la importancia de la educación juvenil sobre la contaminación plástica

Centrándose en la Educación de los Jóvenes en Indonesia

“Sin educación, estaremos atrapados en una limpieza interminable”, dice Mora Siregar, cofundadora y codirectora de MUDFISH NO PLASTIC, otro miembro reciente de la familia global BlueCommunities de Plastic Oceans.

Al decir esto, Mora ataca en el núcleo del problema de los desechos plásticos, afirmando que a menos que se realice una inversión proactiva en las generaciones futuras, nos veremos obligados a continuar en la misma rueda de hámster interminable de mitigación.

Mudfish No Plastic: Emphasizing the Importance of Youth Education in Plastic Pollution

Focusing On Youth Education in Indonesia

“Without education we will be stuck in a never-ending cleanup,” says Mora Siregar, co-founder and co-director of MUDFISH NO PLASTIC, another recent member of the Plastic Oceans’ BlueCommunities global family.

In saying this, Mora strikes at the core of the plastic waste issue, that unless proactive investment is made into the future generations, we will be forced to continue in the same unending hamster wheel of mitigation.

Cómo un Mercado Verde en el Sur de México ha Marcado la Diferencia

Proporcionando un Modelo Alternativo para el Comercio Local

Hay pocas experiencias que vinculan a individuos a través de la historia, los continentes y las clases, como la del mercado público itinerante.

Mientras que los puntos de venta individuales –compra, venta o trueque en un punto fijo– también han sido evidentes a lo largo de la historia, lo que distingue la experiencia del mercado es el hecho de que es necesariamente un evento colectivo. La única forma en que los mercados existen y sobreviven es si engendran una especie de acontecimiento, un acercamiento de la sociedad en un punto y lugar determinados. Algo para lo que tienes que hacer espacio, organízate. Para comprar en un mercado, tienes que querer ser parte de él, fraguar en el colectivo.

How A Green Market in Southern Mexico Is Making a Difference

Providing An Alternative Model for Local Commerce

There are few experiences which link individuals across history, continents and classes, quite like that of the itinerant, public market.

Whereas individual points of sale – buying, selling or bartering at a fixed point – have also been in evidence throughout history, what sets the experience of the market apart is the fact that it is necessarily a collective event. The only way markets exist and survive is if they engender a kind of happening, a drawing together of society at a particular point and place. Something you have to make a date for, organize yourself around. To shop at a market, you have to want to be a part of it, shed yourself to the collective.

First-Hand Experience With Turtle Conservation from an Amateur Environmentalist

Caring For A Deservingly Revered Species

Growing up in Rochester, New York, at least a five-hour drive from the closest beach, my relationship with the ocean did not extend much past the occasional viewing of a nature documentary. The marine life I saw on the television was exquisite, but I never imagined the possibility of witnessing these animals in real life, watching them perform the behaviors that gripped filmmakers’ attention in the first place.

The Little Shop of Zero Waste Hope

Women-Run Store Providing Their Local Community Accessibility to Sustainable Products

How long have you been purchasing the same brand of supermarket deodorant? Shampoo? Dish soap or peanut butter?

Purchasing industrially manufactured items – almost always housed in plastic containers, and always single-use – has become second nature to almost everyone in the 21st century. Increasingly, however, people are questioning their consumer choices, and looking for viable, chemical-free alternatives in reusable packaging, made by real people in local community settings.
