“Every year, millions of tons of plastic enter the oceans primarily from rivers. The plastic afloat across the oceans — legacy plastic — isn’t going away by itself. Therefore, solving ocean plastic pollution requires a combination of stemming the inflow and cleaning up what has already accumulated.

“The Ocean Cleanup, a non-profit organization, is developing advanced technologies to rid the world’s oceans of plastic.”

Although Five Stories Small is not affiliated with The Ocean Cleanup, we have chosen to donate a portion of all sales of both the book and the merchandise to the initiative, to help Boyan and his team fulfil their mission of cleaning and preserving our oceans and water systems.
