The ocean, Earth's largest ecosystem, is home to incredible biodiversity but also vast amounts of plastic pollution. This plastic accumulates in ocean gyres, most notably the North Pacific Gyre, which hosts the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP). Estimated to be twice the size of Texas and weighing 100,000 tons, the GPGP remains a mystery to many.

To assess public knowledge about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, we interviewed strangers at Venice Beach, Los Angeles. Their surprising responses are featured in our video, revealing how much people truly know.

Northern Ireland is embarking on a cleaner energy future, utilizing abundant wind and solar resources. While engineers drive innovation, widespread public and community support is crucial. We need open dialogue to connect green energy projects with climate benefits, helping individuals make informed choices and embrace new infrastructure. This collective effort is vital to transform NI's power system for future generations.

Dr. David McGowan, a Senior Lead Engineer at SONI, is key to this transition. He led SONI’s Tomorrow’s Energy Scenarios, outlining decarbonization pathways for NI.
