TEDx Gramercy NYC
In his TEDxGramercy talk, Jim Holm, co-founder of The Clean Oceans Project (now Clean Oceans International), shares his personal journey and mission to combat plastic pollution in the world's oceans. Holm was deeply moved by the alarming amount of plastic waste he encountered while traveling through the Panama Canal, which inspired him to take action. His talk highlights the importance of innovation and localized solutions, such as Portable Plastic Waste Conversion (PPWC) systems, which can transform plastic waste into usable fuel.
Holm emphasizes that addressing ocean plastic pollution requires scalable, cost-effective strategies that can be adapted by diverse communities worldwide. His goal is to make plastic management both environmentally and financially beneficial. The TEDx talk not only discusses technological solutions but also calls for collective responsibility to reduce plastic waste at its source, while inspiring audience members to contribute to this global effort.
