Our linear system makes us to use our oceans as a dumping place of resources, this needs to end. 

Plastics is only recycled to less than 10%, an equal amount is burned, and the rest is landfilled or dumped into our oceans. But if the plastic we use gets a value, how can this make a difference?

Nitrogen ends up as the single biggest challenge in our coastal areas around the world that both risks changing the balance in the sea and risk of creating toxic areas. The Oslo Bay is one example where the situation is starting to get critical.
