The numbers in the study of the MacArthur Foundation<\/a>, presented at the opening of the World Economic Forum in Davos, are alarming and shocking. If nothing will change, if mankind will continue to destroy the seas of the Earth, in 2050 <\/strong>there will be more plastic<\/strong> than fish.<\/p>\n

Our plastic production<\/strong> does not diminish but grows exponentially every year and destroy entire ecosystems and create immense islands of waste in the Pacific Ocean.<\/p>\n

Is this\u00a0the destiny of our Planet? Will he\u00a0be the mankind\u00a0who’s gonna\u00a0kill the world?<\/p>\n

No one knows what will happen, but rest assured, there is hope<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The island of plastic in the ocean<\/div><\/div>\n

A\u00a0solution to eliminate plastic from the oceans<\/h2>\n

If the optimal solution remains to stop or at least drastically reduce the production of plastic, three young British have found another type of solution, that may solve, at least in part, the problem of plastic in the seas.<\/p>\n

Terry, Christina and Chris have created a ship<\/strong> powered by solar energy capable of collecting 22 million pounds of plastic a year, the SeaVax<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A small fleet of these so amazing ships could eliminate some of the larger islands of plastic<\/strong> in the oceans in just 10 years, safeguarding the marine life thanks to a special sensor.<\/p>\n

The three English friends now seek our help. They built the first model but they need funds to make enough for the biggest cleaning the oceans ever. Through the Avaaz campaign<\/a> you can help to realize this project, donating even just the equivalent of a\u00a0cocktail. Together you can give life to this incredible example of hope and save our oceans.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

How to decrease the production of plastic<\/h2>\n

Since 1964, the plastic in the world production has increased twenty-fold. Unfortunately, at present, it’s\u00a0a material that we are not always able to recycle unlike\u00a0glass and paper. Only 5% of the packaging is recycled<\/strong> and only once, while 40% ends up in landfills, and a third directly in natural ecosystems such as oceans.<\/p>\n

The Seavax could eliminate the existing waste, but there are several solutions to decrease production<\/strong> drastically<\/strong>. An idea comes from San Francisco has banned plastic bottles<\/strong><\/a> in public places. All we citizens must choose products with packaging<\/strong> made of other materials, choose tap water rather than bottles.<\/p>\n
