?? 14 WOMEN, 3000 MILES, X TRILLION PIECES OF PLASTIC ?? ?? Ahead of our film event in London this Wednesday, I'm thrilled to share our latest podcast episode featuring Siri ?stvold, who recounts her incredible journey across the North Pacific Ocean to the Great Garbage Patch. ?? What was the goal of this eXXpedition? To measure microplastic pollution in one of the planet's most remote areas — so remote, in fact, that the nearest humans are the astronauts aboard the space station! Yet, as you will learn in this episode, even 1,000 miles from the nearest land, traces of humanity are unmistakably present. ?? Since the invention of plastic in the 1950s, it has transformed our lives. Unfortunately, the majority of the plastic ever produced is still in existence today. ?? Alarmingly, the amount of plastic in our oceans is also projected to double within the next 15 years. By 2050, experts even estimate that there could be more plastic in the ocean than fish by weight! ?? ?? ?? What did the crew discover during their voyage? Join us as Siri shares the highlights of this challenging journey with eXXpedition's all-women crew, led by esteemed sailor and ocean advocate Emily Penn. Together, they aim to make the unseen, seen and bring awareness to the impact of plastic pollution. Don’t miss this eye-opening conversation!
