I've been concerned for years about all the plastic in our oceans and in our world. Through Coastsavers, I was able to learn about Million Waves Project and spent a day with my family cleaning up the Washington coast with them. We also happen to have friends who have directly benefited from their organization. Their daughter has a prosthetic hand built by MWP! I have changed the way I go about my day just by learning about their organization. When I'm out walking every day, I scour the streets looking for trash, especially #1 plastic. I've been saving it all in my garage to help print more hands. We need more brilliant solutions like this to save our environment! So impressed with them!
