Halloween may be over, but your pumpkins can still do something beautiful! 🎃💚

Instead of tossing your pumpkins in the trash, give them a new purpose by composting them. They'll break down into nutrient-rich compost that can help gardens and green spaces thrive.

Just remember to remove any candles, decorations, or paint first, and check your local composting guidelines.

370 kg of trash never made it to the ocean, and all it took was a net.

Australia fitted mesh over its drains, so whatever the water carries out gets trapped before it can escape. Plastic bottles and junk end up sitting in a bag instead of drifting out to sea.

No robots. No billion-dollar cleanup fleet.

We keep waiting for some huge tech breakthrough to fix ocean pollution. Meanwhile the answer was hanging off the end of a pipe the whole time.

Simple idea. Massive payoff.
