Ronnie Friedman is fundraising
Support Alex's Mission to Clean Our Oceans
Hello, my name is Alex and I have been cleaning beaches in Massachusetts for my Mitzvah project, but I'm hoping to do much more than that. I want to help spread awareness to people about the pollution in the oceans.

My hope is that with your help we can donate to The Ocean Cleanup and try to fix this worldwide problem. Pollution in the ocean is killing millions of animals a day, and if we don't act now, by 2030 there could be over 30 million tons of plastic in the ocean.

All I'm asking for you to donate whatever you can. Every little bit helps. Please help me try and reverse this devastating trend.

Thank you for your support!

Zoe Holman is fundraising
The Ocean Cleanup: Keeping Oceans Clean for New Generations
Good morning, good day, and good evening!

My name is Zoe Holman and I am hoping to raise 100,000 dollars for The Ocean Cleanup Project and increase awareness of the company. The Ocean Cleanup is a public charity founded in 2013 by Boyan Slat in the Netherlands. With a goal to rid the ocean of harmful trash and plastic and protect marine life, it hope to eradicate trash islands and eventually put the company out of business once the oceans are clean. This is a long term donation project and all proceeds go directly to the American Friends of The Ocean Cleanup once our target is reached. Any and all donations are welcome!! Please see their website if you have interest or questions!

Christopher Rheem is fundraising
Ocean Cleanup Community Project
Want to join me in making a difference? A group of my friends and I have decided to begin raising money to benefit The Ocean Cleanup North Pacific Foundation, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to us and our community as a whole.

More information about The Ocean Cleanup North Pacific Foundation: The Ocean Cleanup develops advanced technologies to rid the world's oceans of plastic and any other oceanic waste.

UPDATE:
We started this GoFundMe in middle school as a part of a school project in our band class with little expectations for how much we could do. Despite this, we decided to try and do something we cared deeply about, being the ocean. The amount of support we got was mind blowing and we didn’t know we could raise so much as 3 young kids. Now as seniors in high school, we’d love to revisit our campaign and push to raise even more money to help heal the ocean we love so much. It is our job to shape the future we want, and steps like this can help with that.

Help Michael Reduce Ocean Plastic Waste

Hi, I'm Michael and I really want to help clean The Seas. I want to help clean The Seas because it helps us and the marine life. So when I learned that 12 million tons of plastic are dumped into the ocean each year, I knew I had to help because it can affect the air we breath and is the cause of 100 million marine life dying each year. So I have created a GoFundMe that will go directly to The Ocean Cleanup which will help support them. So please donate not just for the marine life but us.

Tala Fatemi is fundraising
Help eradicate the Great Pacific Garbage Patch
Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit the American Friends of The Ocean Cleanup Foundation; any donation will help make an impact. My name is Tala, and I came across this non-profit one day while researching current events in class. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is killing wildlife in search of food and leeching toxic chemicals into our water, finding their way through sealife's stomachs and back onto our plates; After learning this, I had no doubts that I needed to help in any way possible. This way, you can contribute too! These funds will go towards research and create a stable base for the Ocean Cleanup to scale up its operations. Thank you in advance for giving to this cause; it means so much to me.

More information about American Friends of The Ocean Cleanup Foundation: The Ocean Cleanup is the largest cleanup in history. They develop and scale technologies to rid the world's oceans of plastic. To achieve this objective, they use a dual strategy: intercepting plastic in rivers to cut pollution inflow and clean up what has already accumulated in the ocean and won’t go away by itself.

"When the oceans are clean, we can put ourselves out of business."

Joana Caxaria Fontoura is fundraising
Joana's first marathon!
In just ~90 days, I will be running my first-ever marathon - the Napa Valley Marathon. While I train, I will also be fundraising for The Ocean Cleanup, and have set my fundraising goal to be $4,219.5.

The Ocean Cleanup is a nonprofit environmental engineering organization that develops technology to extract plastic pollution from the oceans and capture it in rivers before it can reach the ocean.

Running - and living - by the water has been fundamental to my physical and mental health, and very few things break my heart as the realization of how much trash is still carelessly disposed of in bodies of water.

I chose to run for a future where plastic no longer pollutes our oceans, in the hopes that generations to come get to enjoy the same feeling of joy I do whenever I am by the water. With your donation, we can make a lasting impact.

TalonRO Gives Back - 2021 Fundraiser
TalonRO is pleased to partner once more with GoFundMe Charity this holiday season in our annual fundraiser to benefit The Ocean Cleanup.

Every year, millions of tons of plastic enter the oceans, primarily from rivers. And the plastic that's afloat within the oceans isn't going away by itself. To effectively solve the problem, we need to both turn off the tap and mop the floor at the same time.

The Ocean Cleanup is developing and scaling technologies to rid the world's oceans of plastic. Their aim is to put themselves out of business once the oceans are clean.

In order to receive your In-Game Reward, please leave a comment down below including ONLY your in-game name. This ensures that we will be able to quickly deliver your gift.

Please consider donating to this season's annual TalonRO charity fundraiser to benefit this noble and special cause.

For more information on the good work they do, please visit https://theoceancleanup.com/

My Bat Mitzvah Project: Helping The Pacific Ocean
The GPGP, or Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a patch located in the Pacific ocean. Since 1970, scientists have studied this area of water that is 3 times the size of France, and holds over 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic. Because of this, the Ocean Cleanup Crew has worked on trying to decrease the amount of plastic in the ocean by dragging nets into the ocean in order to pick up and study what kinds of plastic are floating in our oceans. The Cleanup crew has also made aircrafts that can scan a 3D shape of large debris in the water and can calculate it’s mass. It is estimated that by 2050, there could be as many pieces of plastic as there are fish in the ocean, so this will be a BIG PROBLEM!!!

Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money for my Bat Mitzvah Project, to benefit The Ocean Cleanup North Pacific Foundation, and any donation will help make an impact. They have been creating ways to reduce the amount of plastic in the pacific ocean for a long time, and have reduced some, but more and more has been found. Due to this much plastic waste, animals and plants have been getting tangled or trapped in our trash, which hurts, and possibly kills them. This also effects the water we drink and the water we wash ourselves with (freshwater from lakes). Please help me raise enough money to donate to the Ocean Cleanup Crew, to make our earth green and blue again. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

Clean up the Ocean

Hilfe!
Unsere Weltmeere werden wahrlich zugemüllt.
Es befinden sich bereits ca. 86 Millionen Tonnen Plastikmüll in unseren Weltmeeren

86 Millionen Tonnen (86’000’000 Tonnen).
Das sind 86’000’000’000 Kilogramm.
Oder 8’600x den Eifelturm.

Und jede Minute gelangt eine weitere Müllwagenladung voll Plastik ins Meer.
Jede. Weitere. Minute.

Die Folgen sind verheerend. Millionen von Meerestiere sterben an unserem Plastikmüll. Schildkröten verwechseln Plastiktüten mit Quallen, Seevögel picken die einzelnen Plastikteilchen am Strand und füllen sich so den Magen mit Plastik. Selbst Robben und Wale verfangen sich in herrenlosen Fischernetzen und enden so an einem langsamen und qualvollen Tod.

Dabei haben unsere wunderschönen Meere einen solch enormen Einfluss auf unser Leben. Sie produzieren Sauerstoff, regulieren das Klima und beherbergen eine atemberaubende Vielfalt an Lebewesen.

Um dieses Plastikproblem zu lösen, müssen wir einerseits die Zufuhr stoppen und anderseits den bereits vorhandenen Plastik entfernen.

Mein Projekt
Während drei Wochen engagiere ich (Tim Näff, 16) mich in der Freizeit, um dem Problem des Plastikmülls entgegen zu wirken. Ich informiere die Menschen mit Hilfe von Flyern, Social Media und Präsentationen. Dazu sammle ich Spenden über GoFundMe, Kuchenverkauf und Sammelaktionen.

Die gesammelten Spenden fliessen direkt an die Non-Profit-Organisation „TheOceanCleanup“.

„TheOceanCleanup“ wurde 2013 gegründet und entwickelt passive Rohrsysteme, um den bereits vorhandenen Plastikmüll zu entfernen.

Wie dieses System den Plastikmüll aus dem Meer entfernt, erfahren Sie im folgenden Video:
(Deutscher Untertitel verfügbar)

THE LARGEST CLEANUP IN HISTORY

„TheOceanCleanup“ leistet mit ihrem entwickelten System Pionierarbeit. Die rund 600 Meter langen Rohrsysteme fangen den Plastik passiv ein. Dabei ist das System ständig mit einem Satelliten verbunden und kann so zu den Orten mit dem höchsten Plastikgehalt treiben.

Später von einem Schiff eingesammelt und an Land gebracht - kann der Plastik recycelt und in neue Produkte umgewandelt werden.

Lasst uns gemeinsam Spenden, um „TheOceanCleanup“ dabei zu unterstützen, unsere Meere und Tieren von unserem Plastikmüll zu befreien!

Ich freue mich über jede Spende auf dieser Seite.
Über jeden, der den Link dieser Kampagne auf Social Media teilt.
Und über jeden, der seinen Plastikverbrauch reduziert und weitere Menschen über unser Plastikproblem aufklärt.
