Thanks to YOU and the rest of the amazing Free the Ocean community, to date, we have funded the removal of over 11.5 MILLION pieces of plastic!

This is pretty incredible, especially considering FTO has only been around since August 2019. Thanks to our advertisers, answering the daily trivia question is a free (and fun) way for anyone from anywhere to make a difference on plastic pollution. We couldn’t do what we do without you, and we so appreciate your support.

Here are a few images from the latest cleanup, courtesy of Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii. The cleanup took place last week in Molokai, Hawaii, where 97 super sacks of marine debris were cleaned, re-bagged, airlifted and trucked out. The initial estimates are around 25,000 lbs, representing 100s of 1000s of pieces of plastic destined to become microplastics and other harmful debris. ⁠⠀
