The Ocean Cleanup

Did you know that The Great Pacific garbage patch measures over 1.6 Million square kilometers. This is equal to 3x the size of France. The patch weighs more than 80 thousand tonnes and consists of more than 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic. That equates to 250 pieces for every human on the planet. More than 90% of these pieces are made up of larger objects that, if left overtime, will fragment into smaller microplastics.

The amount of plastic in the Ocean is increasing at an exponential rate. And it is not just our Ocean's suffering from the human plastic impact. Data from The Ocean Cleanups River Model shows that 80% of river plastic emissions are caused by over 1000 rivers. High rainfall, wind, and high populations near rivers that are near oceans are most susceptible to plastic pollution.

It is necessary to deploy interventions from further pollution. There are countless ways we rely on the health of the water systems on Earth.

Coalition for Rainforest Nations

Tropical rainforests are among the world's most vital ecosystems that contribute to sustaining all life on the planet.

Did you know that deforestation today claims an area close to the size of Greece every single year? That is even after accounting for the ongoing reforestation efforts. They are being destroyed at a rate of 8 million hectares per year, equal to the size of South Carolina or the Czech Republic. Researchers suggest this equates to more than 5 billion trees each year. The biggest driver of deforestation is Agriculture. Deforestation accounts for at least 20% of global carbon emissions.

The time is now to support the planet to ensure future habitation on Earth. Extreme weather patterns are linked to the intensity of climate change and the effects of human impact and looming tipping points.

Let's be a part of the concerted national action towards reversing deforestation and reducing emissions. Demand products and services free from this destruction! Becoming mindful of your carbon emissions from your lifestyle choices such as diet or mode of transportation has a direct impact on the climate.

When you work with Yanaroot, you are taking action to save the remaining rainforests, contributing to sustainability and balance between people, plants and the planet. Every time.
