#Hawaii is turning #ocean #plastic into roads to fight pollution
An island #recycling program is designed to solve the islands’ unique exposure to discarded fishing gear, tourist waste and the #GreatPacificGarbagePatch, which engulfs the island chain every few years. To date, 90 metric tons of plastic trash have been removed from the #Pacific Ocean, and more than a metric ton of fishing nets alone have been paved into Hawaiian roads.

Hawaii is turning ocean plastic into roads to fight pollution

The ocean plastic that washes up on Hawaii’s beaches is recycled into asphalt to pave roads. The roads are then tested for microplastic pollution.

The #GreatPacificGarbagePatch is a #plastic #trash nightmare. It is also part of a much bigger, problem.

Out in the #PacificOcean, between #Hawaii & #California, is the Great #Pacific #Garbage Patch, a swirl of #PlasticTrash >2X the size of Texas. As pieces of plastic tumble against each other, they break down into particles tiny enough to be borne aloft on the wind [& inhaled].

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a plastic trash nightmare. It could also be part of a much bigger, hidden problem

Microplastics and nanoplastics are so small and lightweight they can be swept into the air, where they may be helping to heat up the planet, new research finds

A team of researchers has collected data in the Pacific Ocean in order to track the routes taken by floating plastic debris. The international organization "Plastic Change" is helping to raise awareness about the increasing pollution of our oceans by plastic.

I love LLMs and use them almost every day. Every new version fills me with happiness and curiosity. But honestly, I can’t stand the endless photo and video generation. After #Sora2, I feel like the internet will be flooded with digital junk. It’s like we’re building a virtual Great Pacific Garbage Patch, and I feel sorry for all the energy wasted on generating and storing this garbage.

Es war einmal … #SüdseeTraum. Pazifik. Niemand spricht über die … #MüllInselImPazifik. Aber sie ist größer als Frankreich, Deutschland und Spanien zusammen. Und es fließt giftige Chemikalien in den Fisch, den du isst. Hier ist, was Ihnen nie über den #GreatPacificGarbagePatch erzählt wurde … 🖖

In this piece plastic is combined with organic elements.
