Plastic soup? It is pretty serious issue and one that seems to be getting worse. Up to 12 million metric tons of plastic waste entering our oceans each year. While we may not scoop up seawater with a spoon, every level of the ocean food chain is full to the brim with microplastics that eventually make their way into us. And if you and I can't tolerate it, our oceans (and the creatures that call it home) shouldn't have to either. Greenpeace USA is the only 100% independent global organization fighting for our oceans' plastic-free future, but we can't win the fight alone - so please, in honor of World Oceans Day this Saturday, will you make a gift? http://lil.ms/ol2y/364nk1 - Kate Melges, Senior Ocean Plastics Campaigner, Greenpeace USA #greenpeace Greenpeace Canadian Family Offices @familyoffice #wealth #health # investment #investing #assetmanagement #sustainability #smart #profits #health #oceans #fish

Good points picked up in this One News piece: different components have different values and by separating them, you are likely to be paid more. Recyclers grade metals and use market pricing. How great it is to see metals being recycled and the money used to help the local community. #metalrecycling #valuablematerials #circulareconomy #communitysupport
