Such changes in climate will affect all sectors of society and the environment at all scales, ranging from the continental to the national and local. Decision-makers and other interested citizens need to be able to access reliable science-based information to help them respond to the risks of climate change impacts and assess opportunities for adaptation.

Our goal is to realize a diverse, value-driven sustainable society based on cooperation and active communities. We seek to get people more acquainted with the natural, environmental and cultural values of their neighborhoods because we believe that people aware of these values will pay greater attention to their protection. In addition, we educate people by providing information on environmental problems such as climate change, biodiversity and the overproduction of waste and present possible solutions (such as alternative energy sources, food sovereignty, local food, chemical-free living, recycling, composting and own food production).
We work with a wide range of groups from elementary students to elderly adult learners in our workshops.

During this project, they performed analyses on concentration of particles between 90 micron and 333 micron, plastic/plankton separation, plastic depth measurement devices and amount of plastic within the top layer of the gyres. Spending over 500 hours on the paper (instead of the required 80 hours), it has won several final paper prizes, including Best Technical Design 2012 at the Delft University of Technology.
