Previously on Sail Mermaid I teamed up with the crew from "In the same boat" to help clean the shore from the plastic crisis in the ocean on the coast of Norway. Check out that video on: • SHOCKING amounts of PL...
In this video I sit down and talk to Rolf, the leader of "In The Same Boat" about how they run their operations, what challenges they are facing cleaning the archipelago of plastic pollution, fundraising and much more.
Here is the list of topics we covered:
00:00 Recap of last episode collecting a big net stuck in vegitation
00:27 Sail Mermaid intro
00:45 Introducing Rolf-örjan Högset and the project named "In The Same Boat"
01:38 The Volunteers, where do they come from, the job they do, how they are motivated and rewarded.
04:00 Where does the plastic come from? Is it local pollution or marine debris that traveled with the Gulf Stream?
04:50 80% of the local plastic waste comes from the fishing industry
05:36 The use of the ocean as a big trash can is changing for the better
05:56 More old plastic waste in the sea means we are polluting less now. This can be analyzed by reading date stamps on plastic bottles etc. This gives hope for the future!
06:30 We will have to clean beaches for many years to come
06:44 There is not good enough systems for delivery of plastic waste even if this is required by law. We need better systems to make sure people and industrial users will comply with regulations
07:52 The challenge funding beach cleaning and the fight over money within environmental organizations
09:13 This crew of 12 people collected 20 tons of plastic in 8 days!
09:40 The cost of delivering 20 tons of plastic waste - even for volunteer organizations
11:20 Who should pay to clean our shores?
11:48 Is this a vendetta against the use of plastic products?
12:30 The microplastic from washing our clothes.
13:31 Microplastic vs the plastic we can see. Which affects us the most?
14:05 Why most people don't realize how big this problem is
14:39 How can people sign up to volunteer
15:15 Young Adults Living in tight quarters, friendship, drama and learning to live sustainably
16:40 Adapting and learning to tolerate other cultures and opinions
16:52 How to support "In The Same Boat" financially to help them continue cleaning the archipelago of marine debris and plastic litter
17:19 closing it up...
18:07 Outro
