We just received an email from Lionel Smith, whose recent travels left him concerned about the amount of plastic waste he saw wherever he went, and left him resolved find a fresh and unusual way to approach the problem.
My name’s Lionel Smith and I’ve just set up a website with the aim of addressing that pernickety problem of plastic that is already in the environment and draping the mountains, beaches, deserts and headgerows. I’m thrilled everyone is focussing in stopping the dreaded single use bag but I’ve seen little on the problem of what to do abouth the stuff that’s already out there.
I can back in November last year from travelling on a year out, and on my first day back bought the web address http://www.24hoursonplanetearth.com and set about getting it up and running to fund the removal of plastic in the environment. I was a bit out of touch with the plastic bag issue at home and it’s been amazing to see all the recent news and publicity, I wish I knew how to tap in to it all.
The site I’ve got running has been up for 3 weeks and had supporters register from the USA, UK, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Maylasia, India, Pakistan, Singapore, Denmark, Greece, Norway and Peru so far.
Lionel’s aim is this: to collect 24 hours of the most moving music the world has ever known. The collection then will be used to help create a charitable trust that will fund the picking up and removal of plastic from the environment for recycling and reuse.
