"Our vessel is an ambassador for solutions"

Simon and his team at Plastic Odyssey focus on global plastic removal expeditions in partnership with UNESCO, where they travel to polluted countries around the world to implement solutions with local communities, such as improving waste management, reusing plastic into materials for use, running community trainings, building factories, and creating jobs. We have a conversation about their model, what theyʻve learned, and what they have in store.

A heavy but important conversation. I wanted to share what's been weighing on my heart and mind in the wake of our latest climate disaster here in Hawai'i, the lessons we can take with us to keep communities safer as these become more common.
