X, the moonshot factory reposted this
Today marks Earth Day 2024. The theme, “planets vs. plastics,” resonates closely: I spent the earliest days of my career as a commercial fisherman and saw firsthand how plastic pollution destroys our oceans and beaches. As someone who’s been living and breathing the plastics challenge for nearly two decades, today is not different from any other for me. In honor of Earth Day, I’ve reflected on my journey and the work I’m currently doing at X, the moonshot factory to help tackle this global problem:
Love this, Peter Chauvel, especially your 1-2-3 takeaways. Looking forward to the Ocean Plastics Recovery Project photos :)
Thanks for sharing, Peter (love the photo of young you fishing)! As a fellow Pacific Northwester, it is beyond disheartening to see the impact of climate change and pollution in this beautiful place just in our lifetime. Love to see the work that X, the moonshot factory is doing to negate these negative impacts!
Amazing initiative 👏
Always a joy to learn about your background, passion, and current work on this issue! You are a true inspiration Peter 👏
This really resonates. Thanks for sharing, Peter.
Good stuff Peter!

1moWe are lucky to have your passion and experience in tackling the plastics pollution problem! It's crazy to think about all the debris that ends up in our ocean and the harm that it causes not just to our ocean life and beaches but to the people in surrounding communities. Thank you for volunteering for the ocean clean up and for helping us work on longer-term solutions that will help us reuse and recycle ♻️🌎💚
