Ocean Clean Up

On the 8 September 2018 the Ocean Clean Up company, founded by Dutch entrepreneur Boyan Slat, will launch its first system into the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, in an attempt to remove 50 percent of the plastic island over the next 5 years. This project is not without risk and it has many sceptics, but with investment raised to the tune of $35K, there has been enough belief in success to get the system on its way. Boyan Slat, 24 year old, Dutch entrepreneur, has been working on this project since he was 17. He studied Aerospace engineering at TU Delft and dropped out to found the not-for-profit, Ocean Clean Up company. The first system will hopefully be the first of sixty. Risks to success Will the system work as predicted, will it create the required U-shape to enable it to collect the plastic, will it work with the currents and motion of the waves as predicted? Interaction between the system and plastic; will the system be able to collect and retain the plastic for long periods, before it’s collected by garage ships? Will the system be robust enough to survive the punishing Pacific Ocean? Professionals who’ve worked in the oil and gas industry have been working on the system and are confident they have produced robust mechanics, but only time will tell if the system can stand up to the weather, corrosive salt water and ocean creatures. Can you capture the plastic without harming marine life? The system has a 10-foot skirt underneath, which fish and mammals should be able to swim under, but again this can only be fully tested in the ocean, over a prolonged period of time. The project is exciting and risky, but as Roald Dahl once said “if you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it full speed. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. Luke warm is no good.” We wish them good luck!

Travel Industry Embraces Sustainability

Following a recent survey by the Hilton Hotel Group earlier this month, the group have pledged to commit to a stringent corporate responsibility strategy, entitled Travel With Purpose which aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and adheres to carbon emission targets that have been approved by the Science Based Targets Initiative. By 2030 the Hilton Group hopes to halve its environmental footprint and double its social impact. The survey reports that 62 percent of people would switch travel providers if they were in the news for unethical practice – even if it means switching to a more expensive company. 56 percent of respondents said they regularly buy products that are fair trade, organic, local or not been tested on animals, and 20 percent would actively seek out information about a hotel brand's environmental credentials before booking. Maybe the reason that this is not higher, is because this information is not as readily available as it is with other consumer products. Some of the ways in which the Hilton Group will become more sustainable by 2030 is by reducing carbon emissions by 61 percent, reducing water usage by 50 percent, as well as sustainably sourcing products such as meat, seafood and cotton. They also plan to recycle soap and reduce the use of single-use plastics, such as straws. With regard to social impact, the Hilton Group has plans to double the company’s investment in youth opportunity programs and will partner with the International Youth Foundation on Passport to Success to attract young talent. Hilton isn’t alone in exploring sustainability initiatives. Many other hospitality companies, including Marriott, Hyatt, AccorHotels, and IHG, have also implemented programs to be more sustainable, as well as to attract more young talent and offer more employment opportunities to locals who live in the communities where they have hotels. Sustainability is firmly on the agenda, now it needs to be communicated out to consumers to allow them to make informed, environmentally conscious choices.
