“Algalita is an internationally known environmental nonprofit that started the movement to end plastic pollution nearly 30 years ago. We were the first to discover, and bring attention to, the swirling soup of plastic pollution in the Pacific – now known by many as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Since then, we’ve worked to revolutionize the plastic pollution conversation by building a web of connections between researchers, activists, industry leaders, educators, and young people across the globe.”
Emily Dekin, Algalita’s Engagement Director also shared with us about how the organization has integrated repair into their in-class and afterschool programming. Read her Note from the Field: “Algalita Brings Repair Into Schools” to learn about the project.
The Culture of Repair Project helped secure funding for this the development and publication of this resource.
