You, Maria, and even Sheddy are women who have carved out unique lives while also helping so many people in Latin America. I salute you and thank you for your gallant efforts to help so many people!
What you are doing is a great thing! I visited Panama a few years ago and it was garbage everywhere. I couldn't believe a government with revenue of Panama, couldn't develop a program to clean up the country, especially the beaches. If any of the central American countries want to attract tourists. I think they should clean up the pollution in their country. It's nice to see James drop by! Sorry to hear that he's selling Zangaro .I know I misspelled it! Lol Stay safe from the east coast of Canada 🇨🇦
Yeah, trash infrastructure is a pretty messy topic in most countries in Central America 😬. The areas with tourists usually get cleaned up fairly well but outside of that there is no direct advantage / money in doing so, so…..
Boots on the ground is where change takes place and gives the roots vision to happen. Having lived where you are as a student so many years ago it saddens my heart to see how plastic has changed the land and sea scape. I thank you for all that your doing. Angus
You are planting seeds of thought in many people who will hopefully come up with practical and useful products that will consume much more waste than earrings and such, although those products are perfect for starting the thought process...Love ya and what you are doing, best wishes from Colorado.
Great work one step at a time. I would think the long term solution would be looking at what the locals are buying in regards to plastic on a daily basis. What are they using in the daily life and for generate income. Such as containers, fishing tools, fasteners, handles, brushes, and so on 🤗 The smiles and thinking of the workshop attendees say it all where there is money there is a way.. 👍 One step at a time ✊
Great idea, I was thinking maybe you can use this new recycle plastic sticks for Karl, in the left and right sides, replacing "the wooden parts used as decoration" which are touching the sea line. Just an idea..., . 🤔🥸🥰
I love your positivity to the challenge, I get despondent knowing how much plastic pollution is out there and micro-plastics already in the food change. We have not been collectively good stewards of this planet. Thank you for all your effort.
Hi Nike, nice to see you arriving in my in-box this morning. Nice cameo by Boga. I like how you are "keeping at it" with the recycling project In Mocean with perseverance you are correct it will continue to grow little by little and at some point it will start getting its own momentum. Cheers, a.
Sunlight, UV, is plastic's worst enemy. UV damage is what you see on beach plastic - crumbling, fractures, brittleness. A viable plastic roofing shingle would require a durable UV resistant coating. It quickly becomes cost prohibitive, I imagine.
@@inironsyeah I have been wondering about that, too. I do see large beams being made from recycled plastic (more industrially) and they use them for construction, fences and floors (outdoors) and I always wonder about UV resistance and also microplastic from walking on a plastic floor…so far, we have mostly made inside stuff and have not tested for UV durability. Only thing I can say: I made some carabiners and clipped something on my boat with it and it was in the sun for…maybe two months…and broke 😬 so that’s as far as my testing has gone 😂
Hi Daniel, happy to hear you like these videos! Here is a playlist with videos that are related to tackling plastic pollution of our oceans ua-cam.com/play/PLXRq1t-_HOXvPwlazTxlsR11R1qBnOOtG.html&feature=shared Let me know what you think!
I saw one video where a ship had been turned into a plastic recycling plant and among the things it did , one was to somehow make a type of liquid fuel ! It was in Thailand, I think, a video on UA-cam.

That is a good question. Some of the workshops we give - especially the jewelry ones - are structured in a way that people who attend can very easily replicate the production at a very low investment cost (sometimes even zero if things already exist in the household). For making jewelry , a sandwich maker or an iron can be used for example. If we see that there is serious interest but no funding, then we help with funding those basics. The great thing about starting off with jewelry is that it’s a low investment entry, the products are usually easily sold and that way, they can see at an early stage that they can make money with their recycling activities. Then they can step by step widen / enlarge their business- if desired. We also help build / fund an entire workspace if we see that a place has a lot of potential. You will see more about that in the next episode ☺️♻️👍
Thanks for ur feedback: Which one would you recommend? Mixing with fiber: as far as I understand, this would eliminate the possibility of further recycling, though, wouldn’t it?
@@WhiteSpotPirates well most people know the shape no one knows that translation weather it’s like flat or has some other polygons idea.. and then is it transparent or what… I think cute might be three triangles on top of each other maybe… 🍀
Its is very good and everyone's effort is admirable. Unless things are scaled up to industrial levels it will remain applaudadable but futile. Our production of waste far exceeds our attempts at recycling or investment in dealing with waste. You make a nice video and say good things but our production and destitution of the planet makes your attempts futile.
I can see how it seems futile in the face of the vastness of the problem. However, if you take a look at the bigger picture: the precious plastic movement started some years ago and there are thousands of small scale recylcing businesses that popped up across the globe since then and I very much do believe that this decentralized recycling infrastructure is making a difference. Especially for the people in the area. Maybe google “precious plastic map” to take a look at how many there are already. And I am sure there are many more that are not registered here. Just as an example: the workspace we set up in Chipas (next episode) was at a coffee farm and they want to help replicate this system on other farms. So step by step, things are advancing. Big industrial solutions are important but it take a lot of investment and time to build those. Small decentralized solutions are a lot easier to set up and replicate. I do agree, though, that overall, we need to turn off the tap and produce less and take more sustainable choices. But the mess we made still needs to be cleaned up 🤷🏼♀️ Maybe view it like a snowball system. Might seem small in the beginning but can grow bigger and bigger over time ♻️🙌🏽♻️
You, Maria, and even Sheddy are women who have carved out unique lives while also helping so many people in Latin America. I salute you and thank you for your gallant efforts to help so many people!
Definitely slightly outside the norm 😂. Comes with its own challenges but mainly feeling very grateful that I am able to live the life I live
I hope you realize how much you are positively influencing and changing people’s life not only with sailing. Thank you.
That’s sweet of you to say, Vinny 😘 sending a big hug ur way!

It’s definitely one way to make change happen 🫶🏽

EXCELENTE VIDEO NIKE !!!! UN GRAN SALUDO DESDE ARGENTINA Y QUE LA FUERZA TE ACOMPAÑE !!!!
Gracias amigo!
It's always great to see you making your dream into a reality. Best wishes! Can't wait to see you next time.
Thanks Craig, see you next week!
Every little bit helps! You're doing great work and looking fabulous in the process!
Thanks Rick!
👏👏👏…these small, essential, steps are gathering momentum. 💪🏽
One step after another 🙏🏼♻️🫶🏽
Cool plastic seat!!
Thx! It need some serious improvement, but it’s a first mock up ☺️
Love what you’re doing, kudos to you.

The rub rail u mean? Interesting…I like ur thinking.
Well done
Thanks for posting .
Cheers SV Good Karma as Grins!
You are very welcome!
Beautiful video. I love how inspired you are keep going helping locals think about recycling and plastic waste.
Thank you! 🙏🏼

Nice video, hope the ladies can make a living from the recycling .

You two are awesome, tool handles and tool covers might work also. How about a mold for roof tiles?
Ahhh safety is totally overrated! 🥴😂
I love what you're doing. Keep up the amazing work.
Thank you Christine!
👏👏👏
Is it possible to make a Roof tile from Recycled plastic? Simple shape very practical if it can survive the elements

Schöne Sache
Hat meinem Ingenieursherzen gut gefallen das an praktische Produkte gedacht wurde, ist uwar aufwändiger, aber eben auch nützlich 👍
thank you! You are an inspiration
More Boga footage please :)
You are a modern day heroine, and a inspiration to us all. X
🫶🏽
Blessed to and from aboriginal people.
If yo have to give up sailing in order to work on In-Mocean, I WILL still follow you, for sure!
That is really sweet of you to say, thank you! I hope that I will also be able to combine both in the future 🙏🏼
What are some other videos you have about making things out of recycling ♻ plastic. I loved one of the videos and am searching for it!

How can people with limited funds move past the workshop phase?
That is a good question. Some of the workshops we give - especially the jewelry ones - are structured in a way that people who attend can very easily replicate the production at a very low investment cost (sometimes even zero if things already exist in the household). For making jewelry , a sandwich maker or an iron can be used for example. If we see that there is serious interest but no funding, then we help with funding those basics.

PP is not a good stuctural plastic, you should mix it with fibers or use another one
Thanks for ur feedback: Which one would you recommend?
Mixing with fiber: as far as I understand, this would eliminate the possibility of further recycling, though, wouldn’t it?
I thought of mountain earrings sometime ago… unfortunately there seems to be none…
a fair idea is a gadget that can do two or more things with…
Thanks for ur feedback! You mean earrings in the shape of a mountain? What mountain were u thinking of? Anyone in particular?
