bonus no cadastro apostas Chris Krauss, Sea The Bigger Picture

My name is Chris Krauss and we have been cleaning beaches for two and a half years. We are here at the mouth of the Black River in Cape Town, busy cleaning this beach, which dumps three and a half tonnes of plastic every day into the ocean.

I'm a free diver, so we spend most of our weekends in the ocean. The bonus no cadastro apostas final straw, so to speak, was a big shopping bag which wrapped itself over my face. That was, to me, a rather bonus no cadastro apostas strong sign that I needed to do something.

Every clean we at least remove half a tonne of PET (plastic) bottles. To give you an idea: each bottle this size weighs about 20 grams - so you can imagine how many bottles come in half a tonne.

Plastic is a petrol and fossil fuel product. Therefore, it is part of the global warming issue. It takes a lot of fossil fuels to make plastic and it is almost a pure fossil fuel in itself.

My name is Waseem Rhoda and I've been cleaning beaches with Sea The Bigger Picture for about two years now. I believe we have a bonus no cadastro apostas responsibility as citizens to keep the beaches clean because a lot of this rubbish ends up in the ocean and consumed by what I think a lot of us enjoy - seafood.

bonus no cadastro apostas Roxy Zunckel, Volunteer

My name is Roxy Zunckel and I have been cleaning beaches for the last, I'd say, 10 years. “You can't have any green without the blue" - that's what Sylvia Earle said. The ocean keeps the entire planet bonus no cadastro apostas functioning and going around. We need to keep these spaces clean and safe so that we can keep on having our oxygen that we breathe.

bonus no cadastro apostas Chris Krauss, Sea The Bigger Picture

We are killing our planet a lot faster than we thought. We have to protect it. Over 100 million marine animals are affected by plastic every single year. We cannot continue on this bonus no cadastro apostas trajectory of millions of metric tonnes of plastic ending up in the ocean.
