Save Kai Facebook Campaign

Doug Woodring tells us about a goldfish named Kai (pronounced Kї ) that needs your help. As part of a Facebook campaign, Kai will dwell in a segregated space within an aquarium full of plastic garbage for 30 days, essentially risking his life on a streaming 24/7 web cam to give people around the world a glimpse of what it's like to live in a swirling mess of plastic known as the Plastic Vortex. Beyond raising awareness, his mission is to encourage donations for Project Kaisei's next ocean cleanup voyage this summer/fall.

To "Save Kai" from the threats faced by countless other marine life, consumers can make donations via Facebook -- www.facebook.com/projectkaisei - in as little as $5 increments between Tues., May 3 and World Ocean's Day on June 8. Each donation to Project Kaisei removes a piece of plastic from Kai's polluted home, moving him closer to swimming in a clean, plastic-free environment.

All proceeds from the campaign will go toward helping Project Kaisei, a global non-profit, fund its next clean up expedition scheduled for this summer. You can access more background on last summer's expedition via this press release, and we have photos and video available.

Thanks for your support!
