Cape York Cleanups

An endless stream of plastics from all over the Pacific Ocean, dragged by the southern equatorial current ends up on the beaches of Cape York, that's 24 hours a day. What doesn't come from mainland Australia, or other nations around us, is getting dumped illegally off cargo ships, which enter the Great Barrier Reef marine park in the far north, with the instructions to offload all of their rubbish, avoiding expensive disposal at arrival in port. This is where the system falls apart. As often as we can, we are going north with a team of the best volunteers around, loaded into heavy duty 4WD, tents, solar chargers and lots and lots of bags. We usually pick up around 1-2 tonnes per km of coastline. Its heart breaking, but also necessary. We can't turn out back to it, and we need to involve industries to innovate the future of materials.
