JBI plans to visit Pacific Garbage Patch!

"Aaron, Our staff is really happy with the great t-shirt presents you sent us. It was very kind. Thank you. I had a cc with Rick Heddle, Moneyhan, Scott (p2o) at noon about marine P2O and I have an idea... A well known non profit would like to charter a ship and our captain to go to the pacific garbage patch with a documentary crew and collect ... See Morelarge samples of plastic for research. We would bring a P2O processor and analysis equipment to test. They are fully financed so there is no cost to the us (at this time). We are focused on P2O (for profit) but situations like this clearly benefit the company, shareholders and the environment. Would you have time to create a t-shirt for the PGP and our work collectively (non profit & us)? I see it as a way for them to raise more capital and create awareness.

We are well aware of many patches. Mike Moneyhan has sailed through a few of them in the Caribbean. The Pacific garbage patch offers plastic as deep as 20-30' and it is growing. I wish to emphasize that P2O ships are for supporting International P2O conversion and trade, not the garbage patch. A separate ship would be retrofitted for the garbage patch due to feedstock acquisition (ie: shredded and loaded from a port vs. a mix of junk of varying sizes with salt water from the ocean)."

THAT IS AWESOME GO GREEN!
