Cleaning the oceans one step at a time
Two Australians created this container that collects plastic, paper, oil, fuel and detergent floating in the ocean. They want to implement it the middle of next year to clean up the sea worldwide. It seems a great idea. The only “but” as always is money, so they are raising funds to get to their goal. You can see their project and donations here.
Fucking genius!
Boost!!👏🏾
There’s only 9 days left and they aren’t even 35% funded. Boost and help them out!

'There are racists in my police force,' RCMP chief says
Canada's top Mountie encourages First Nations to call him directly to report racist officers
RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson told a group of First Nations leaders on Wednesday he is trying to rid the force of racist cops within its ranks.
“I understand that there are racists in my police force. I don’t want them to be in my police force,” Paulson said to chiefs and other First Nations delegates gathered in Gatineau, Que., for an annual three-day meeting organized by the Assembly of First Nations.
Paulson’s comments came after one chief urged the top Mountie to address racism within the force.
“We encounter racism every single day. Some of the worst racists carry a gun and they carry a badge authorized by you, Commissioner Paulson, to do the work,” said Grand Chief Doug Kelly, leader of the Sto:lo Tribal Council in British Columbia.
“We need you to confront racism in the ranks.”
Paulson said the RCMP Act, which was updated for the first time in 30 years during the last Parliament, gives him and other commanding officers the authority to handle matters of discipline in a “very decisive” manner.
Canada’s top Mountie said First Nations could even call him directly to report racist officers.
“I would encourage you all, though, to have confidence in the processes that exist, up to and including calling me if you are having a problem with a racist in your jurisdiction or any other problem.
“We have elaborate systems to bring accountability to those people that are trusted, and in some cases not trusted but who are in power to deliver policing services,” Paulson said.
i mean… thats almost something? kind of
