Tackling plastic pollution is a collaborative effort between our team, partners, and local communities. Together with our partner @mareaverdepanama we’re tackling plastic waste in Panama City, using research and cutting-edge technology to map waterways and reduce river pollution before it reaches the ocean. 👉 Subscribe to stay updated:
https://bit.ly/371k8sNPanama City is part of our 30 Cities Program, which aims to stop up to one-third of all plastic emissions from rivers entering the ocean. By understanding how plastic moves through local waterways, we can create long-term social, economic, and environmental benefits for the people who live here.
