Well, not quite yet . . . but soon! Artist Pharrell Williams (yep, the guy who sings Happy) is starting a hip clothing line made from recycled plastic from the ocean. It's not too clear how they're doing this (I'm curious on the engineering details, of course . . . Maybe they're going to use this 19-year old's idea !?). The video showing animated octos making the clothes certainly doesn't explain, but it must be possible . . . Speaking of celebs who want to help the ocean . . . Leonardo DiCaprio and the President of Iceland, Olafur Ragnar Grimsson, (link to his 2014 save-the-ocean speech) are also doing great things for the ocean. I hope more celebs will follow to spread awareness of the urgent need for ocean conservation! Pharrell's animated video with Raw for the Oceans and Bionic Yarn says the clothing line will be available August 15. | |
How much plastic is in the ocean? Way too much. This infographic by One World One Ocean explains.
