Exec. Vice President, Karen Talamelli Cusick had the opportunity to speak with Doug Woodring, Founder of Ocean Recovery Alliance about the recent Water Rising Festival held in Cambodia.  The Water Rising Festivals was created by Ocean Recovery Alliance and NGO2 Foundation, to bring new awareness and water appreciation to villages along the Tonle Sap Lake in Cambodia. This is one of the only lakes in the world which rises and falls by 6m each season, and the lives of the local communities are highly dependent on fishing resources and tourism. However, they lack waste management and recycling know-how, and also education in terms of how and where to put their waste. The rising and falling of the lake impacts fishing, the ecosystem with a UNESCO bird sanctuary, tourism, and the health of local communities.

DID YOU KNOW? The world only recycles about 10% of all plastic that is made! That figure may change... Doug Woodring, the Founder of the Ocean Recovery Alliance stopped by the Short Wayv Podcast to explain.

Mixed dirty plastic (which comes out of the world's waterways) was not recyclable because it was not uniform and full of salt. However, researchers from the Center for Regenerative Design & Collaboration (CRDC) in Costa Rica and other teams have found a way to pulverize this plastic to manufacture a binder that creates a lighter and (somehow) stronger concrete! The CRDC is already working with Habitat for Humanity where 68 tons of plastic were used to help build 125 homes.

Doug Woodring and hosts Karen Talamelli Cusick share many more eye-opening figures and cool anecdotes within 9 short minutes.
