BOOK - Plastic Odyssey - Alexandre Dechelotte, Simon Bernard

An expedition around the world to fight against plastic pollution at sea by acting at the source: the earth! While the planet is suffocating under plastic waste, Simon Bernard, Alexandre Dechelotte and their entire team have taken up the colossal challenge of fighting this plastic pollution. Aboard a laboratory ship, the Plastic Odyssey, they travel the oceans for three years to discover and disseminate solutions inspiring and lasting. This official book offers privileged access behind the scenes of the expedition which takes them to meet inhabitants, political figures and entrepreneurs from the countries most affected by the scourge. From Beirut in Lebanon to Recife in Brazil, it retraces each stage of this adventure, stop after stopover, and is accompanied by portraits of the key players in this ecological enterprise and the presentation of their ingenious solutions. In this incredible modern odyssey illustrated with exclusive photographs, each challenge overcome reinforces the conviction that change is possible. More than the story of a simple adventure, this book is an invitation to join a growing movement of actors who, together, shape the world of tomorrow. Preface by Bertrand Piccard.
