We are now approaching a limit for how much plastic and other waste the ocean can absorb. A warmer, emptier, poorer, and more acidic ocean indicates this. As a member or donor to Rivers.Global, you support an organization with clear goals to help reduce the world's plastic emissions into the ocean. We are working towards better waste management, effective clean-up operations, the introduction of deposit-refund systems, and increased public understanding of the problem and how to change course. We believe it is right to focus on areas of the world where the challenges with plastic pollution are greatest.
