Introducing the TrashBlitz Community Fund!
Big change starts at the community level, and our TrashBlitz research platform is a proven tool to increase environmental stewardship, build coalitions, and drive policy change.
We're inviting organizations and coalitions working on plastics/toxics reduction and/or circular economy initiatives to apply for the TrashBlitz Community Fund ([link removed]) . Two groups will receive $5,000 each (as well as the necessary tools and training) to execute a TrashBlitz in their region and develop a report.

A Festival Without Plastic... Music to Our Ears!
We're excited to join Cali Vibes Fest ([link removed]) this month in Long Beach, California! We’re impressed by the festival’s commitment to reduce single-use plastic by offering refill stations and reusable cups. Come see us at the festival, and enter to win two festival passes by taking action on our Instagram here ([link removed]) !
How Much Plastic is in the Ocean?
5 Gyres was initially founded with the goal of determining how much plastic was in the ocean. Nineteen research expeditions later, we published the very first Global Estimate of Marine Plastic Pollution ([link removed]) in 2014. Now, we're preparing to publish a new paper with an updated number and, most importantly, detailing what needs to be done (hint: solutions start before the ocean).
Partner Bulletin
* Insight Global's Jobs & Joy campaign ([link removed]) raised $20,000 that will support our mission toward a plastic-free future!
