Bahamas Plastic Movement: Journey to Change

Initially this blog was started to track my journey across the Pacific Ocean as I studied plastic pollution of the Western Garbage Patch. Since departing the expedition in June 2012 my life has changed dramatically as I've been working towards making The Bahamas a pollution aware and plastic "free" country. I'm creating a movement and I invite you to follow along in my journey to raise awareness of plastic pollution in The Bahamas through research, education, outreach and policy change.
