The Algalita “Junk” raft left Long Beach on it’s trip to Hawaii on Sunday June 1, 2008. The raft named "Junk" left Long Beach for it’s 2100 mile voyage to Hawaii to bring attention to the plastic marine debris (nicknamed the plastic soup) accumulating in the North Pacific Gyre. The raft was designed and sailed by Dr. Marcus Eriksen of the Algalita Marine Research Foundation, and Joel Paschal. It was constructed from 15,000 plastic bottles, an airplane fuselage, discarded fishing nets and a solar generator.

Carbon Saving Green Tips
Green electricity
Did you know that a half of the electricity in the United States is produced through the burning of coal in power stations? Burning coal produces two times more carbon dioxide than gas. In contrast, Green electricity from renewable sources produces (virtually) zero carbon dioxide.
Trash
More than half of your trash can be recycled. While the U.S. leads the industrial world in the generation of waste – about 4.5 pounds per person per day – we are also leaders in recycling, using it to keep about a quarter of our waste out of landfills. Recycling materials can help to reduce carbon emissions by avoiding the need to extract and refine new raw materials. Recycling organic materials such as paper and cardboard can avoid emissions of methane (a powerful greenhouse gas) from landfill sites.
Shopping Bag Waste
Reduce the number of plastic bags going to landfills by re-using old plastic bags or remembering to take True Green's Jute Bags or a canvas bag with you when you go shopping.
If you forget your bags in the car ask for paper bags instead of plastic.
Green Tip: We recommend the US Department of Health and Safety's very informative website on Health and Safety information on Household Products.
