Hey there! 🌟 Have you ever wondered what happens to plastic bottles after we throw them away? Unfortunately, many of them end up in our oceans, harming sea creatures and the environment. But here’s some good news from the Chinese mainland! 🎉
A special system called ‘Blue Circle’ is turning the tide against ocean pollution. 🚢 Fishermen along the coast are being rewarded for picking up plastic litter from the sea. Guess what? A plastic bottle picked up from the ocean is worth three cents, compared to half a cent when collected on land! 💰
Why does ocean plastic earn more? Because products made from recycled ocean plastic are in high demand and can be sold for more money. This means the fishermen can earn extra income while cleaning up the ocean. It’s like turning trash into treasure! 🗑️➡️💎
The ‘Blue Circle’ system creates a loop where the money from selling high-value products made from ocean plastic helps pay for collecting more litter. This makes the whole process sustainable and keeps our oceans cleaner. 🌊♻️
Isn’t it amazing how people are working together to protect our planet? Maybe next time you’re at the beach, you can help by picking up some litter too! Let’s all do our part to keep the oceans clean. 🌍❤️
