Recycling pallet wrap for warehouses is so impactful! Warehouses get 100+ pallets a day. They are all wrapped in plastic film. Know a friend in Logisitics or warehousing? Drop their handle in the comments!

@BoyanSlat @BenShindel I’d add the moral argument of cleaning up the patches and taking responsibility of our past. Making humanity feel a little less shameful. Same like when we go back to the moon. We need to pick up those 96 poop bags we littered. Cost efficiency is not on any slogan for a reason.

You’re correct that cost/kg is 10-100x lower for our river interception work than for GPGP cleanup (depending on the river). But a couple of points: - what this does not take into account is the residence time of plastic in the ocean. According to modeling we published in Lebreton et al. 2019, 80% of emissions leave the ocean again within a month (and 97% within a year) due to stranding on coastlines. There is only so much harm plastic can do in such a short amount of time. Plastic trapped in the currents of the GPGP on the other hand can be expected to persist for decades, possibly centuries if not removed. So the true unit to optimize for is $/kg*year. - our critics argue that the most cost effective strategy is all the way upstream, and dismiss river interception. But only <0.1% of plastic ends up in the ocean, which means that upstream interventions have to deal with >1000x the amount of plastic to have the same emissions reduction. That’s why proposals for addressing inflow upstream that have been published have trillion-dollar price tags, while addressing emissions in rivers will cost only a couple of hundred million dollars per year. Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do the upstream thing too, but we shouldn’t do that on the basis of cost-effectiveness. Will also take much more time. - we are going full speed on both river interception and legacy plastic cleanup, so we don’t experience competition between the two.

Everything you have EVER owned, has been wrapped in plastic film. This is what the inside of a warehouse looks like. Do you know someone who works in warehousing and logistics? Introduce us, so we can recycle all that plastic wrap!

Measuring recycling rates is hard, time consuming, and expensive. But we should have more up to date annual reports on residential recycling in DC than from calendar year 2018.

That was close 😅 Having Green Operations and using EVs is great for the environment... but requires a special kind of therapy to deal with EV range anxiety! @elonmusk, can we hack a @Tesla power wall inside a @Ford Transit?

@OpenGovHub @digiphile @CharDreizen @DCDPW Let's do an open data hackathon for DC's Recycling data? An event that brings together DC's Zero Waste, DPW, ANC Commissioners, zero waste activists, citizens and techies would be wild and a lot of fun!

I’m at the @DCOGC annual #OpenGov Summit at the @OpenGovHub tonight, where we just heard @TonyWilliamsDC extol transparency & accountability, supporting free data & freedom of info. He said government workers should carve out public business if it’s on personal devices or email.
