Britton (42) from New York traveled the world and experienced unacceptable levels of plastic pollution – even in the most secluded places – first hand. In February 2019 he then decided to personally get involved and clean up the planet. Ever since he has hosted and participated in over 30 cleanups around the world and has collected over 2,500 pounds of plastic. He has personally re-and upcycled plastic trash into a boat, planting pots and other useful items to take them out of the cycle and inspire others. His community counts more than 75 members. Right now he is engaged in a 12 day to clean up project hosting ocean and river clean-ups all along the US East Coast from New York to Florida. With all his actions he is inspiring people across the globe to become more aware of plastic consumption and to clean up the planet.

Traveling the world and seeing first hand how badly we as humans are polluting the planet.
Taking the message of plastic waste awareness around the US and globally. Currently engaged in a 12-day project to host ocean and river clean-ups all along the East Coast of the USA from New York to Florida over the holiday break. Raising awareness to how big of a problem we are facing and proving that one person can make a difference.
I have hosted or taken part of over 27 cleanups around the world. Over 2,500 pounds collected. 75 + community members. Have done many projects solo also.
I began in February 2019
I’ve worked with many private people around the world. Some organizations that I have worked with before …

Currently using rental trucks , burlap sacs , gloves , laptop , drones etc
I would like to continue to travel the world and host cleanups. However, I would like to create housing , boats or other sustainable items with the rubbish and plastic that we collect. To not only clean the environment but hopefully figure out a way to create a profit from it so that the locals to the region have extra incentive and hope.
I need to create a company and collect the revenue and resources to establish myself as a reputable solution.
Money , small working space , Granulators , Extrudors.
Support from people that are familiar with machinery and construction.
