Wanted to share a TED conference video dedicated to bringing awareness to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a massive area in the Pacific Ocean that’s overrun with millions of pounds of Plastic Pollution (trash from all of us basically).

The video I’m sharing is from one of the featured Scientist Dr. Wallace. J. Nichols sharing his points on the problem and to some practical solutions. This segment is geared towards manufacturing & specifically to manufacturers. Our TerraRisers riser pads were featured at the conference as how we all can Rethink what we make.

If you have the time watch as many as you can, you’ll be well informed about the ongoing plastic pollution problem.

See our TerraRisers video in the Manufacturers section of the TED event (9 min in)
