One year ago, our first Interceptor (022) launched in Panama's Río Abajo as part of the Siete Cuencas Project.

This year, we expanded operations to the Río Matías Hernández and Juan Díaz. Our efforts have prevented over 100,000 kg of trash from entering Panama Bay, significantly benefiting local communities and the environment.

In collaboration with our local partner @mareaverdepanama, we have deployed Interceptor 025 in Panama's Rio Matías Hernández. This effort aims to prevent more trash from reaching Panama

In collaboration with our local partner @mareaverdepanama, we have deployed Interceptor 025 in Panama's Rio Matías Hernández. This effort aims to prevent more trash from reaching Panama Bay.

This marks the third of seven planned deployments in Panama City, integral to our Siete Cuencas project. Stay tuned for further progress updates.

AI data centers demand continuous 24-hour power, but the reliance on diesel generators for backup poses a significant environmental risk. These fossil fuel generators increase air pollution, particularly near communities, schools, and workplaces. Abby Young of the Bay Area Air District highlights how this emergency power production can worsen air quality.

Interceptor deployments are planned for the Philippines as part of our 30 Cities Program.

The first Interceptor will be deployed in the Meycauayan River in the coming months. This aims to prevent trash from the Manila Bay Region from flowing into the ocean.

The Audacious Project, a collaborative funding initiative by TED, has awarded The Ocean Cleanup $121 million. This significant donation will kickstart the scale-up of our Interceptor technology through the 30 Cities Program. Our goal is to stop one-third of global plastic emissions from rivers into the ocean by the end of the decade, targeting highly polluting urban centers across Asia and the Americas.

This crucial funding provides a strong foundation for the program, enabling the planned deployment of Interceptor solutions this year in cities such as Barranquilla, Colombia; Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic; Mumbai, India; Jakarta, Indonesia; and the Manila Bay Region, Philippines, among others.

The Audacious Project, part of the TED Group, is now backing the 30 Cities Program, significantly accelerating our scale-up. This crucial donation enables the deployment of our Interceptor solutions this year in nine cities globally, including Barranquilla, Santo Domingo, Mumbai, Jakarta, and the Manila Bay region.

This funding provides a strong foundation for our mission. While we continue to rely on the support of followers, strategic partners, and major institutions, this represents a vital step forward in our expansion.

This documentary highlights the impact of the FAO Communal Farming Initiative, funded by Norway. It details how FAO, in collaboration with state governments, introduced high-yield seeds and mechanized land preparation for the 2025 rainy season in Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe (BAY) states to address a severe food crisis.

After the 2020 wildfires, Kyle Trefny became a wildland firefighter, connecting with peers passionate about transforming society's relationship with fire. This led him to co-found FireGeneration

After the 2020 wildfires, Kyle Trefny became a wildland firefighter, connecting with peers passionate about transforming society's relationship with fire. This led him to co-found FireGeneration Collaborative (FireGen) in 2022. FireGen is a youth-led organization dedicated to shifting wildfire management from short-term disaster response to long-term resilience and Indigenous leadership.

Trefny co-led FireGen's national campaign, advocating for youth roles in policy. This resulted in FireGen members advising a federal commission and Director Ryan Reed becoming the youngest federal advisor in US history. Trefny has also been instrumental in shaping FireGen's vision and securing over $350,000 in grants, empowering youth and Indigenous voices for the future.
