 Hey, welcome to our 11th monthly news update. So it's currently December and it's pretty cold But that also means I make one yearly video that summarizes everything that happened So 2013 14 15 and 16 However, this year I also started doing these monthly news updates So here's a combination of both a monthly news that summarizes the best things that happened this year Oh, and if I look a bit that I'm currently feasting. So I haven't eaten anything in three days Just drinking herbal tea Hmm. I like to do these things after the holidays when I had a food overload just to reboot your body but Let's start. So I started this year losing my phone somewhere in this forest And we began working on version three for precious plastic Asking people to come and help come and join us develop this hands-on Chipping in with your skills and people from over the world came to eat but also experimenting trying welding making mistakes finding new techniques Making this version together Meanwhile, we planted a flag on our bunker precious plastic had quarters And we did a big trip with the team cycling through the Netherlands Sleeping between our friends and playing games in a barn It was also my first time snowboarding in the wild I See what you're moving. Yeah, also got a drone this year and after that I did a presentation in Germany I wore a fake and real nice shoe for a year to see which one was better went back to the Maldives visiting a beautiful beach Cleaning up all the plastic waste and working on a bigger plan to be continued We flew the drone with these guys that apparently started precious plastic on a landfill in Kazakhstan And we saw a huge way bigger land filicania. It's an insane place We also set up a plastic recycling place there We dragged plastic trash inside a big fancy shopping mall threw it in the window in the middle of Amsterdam to show plastic is precious I Made a reminder to stop printing crap so did others Went to the United Nations in New York for Ocean Day to discuss about plastic and listen to something cultural I guess Vipiro backlight shot an episode in our workspace. I won the creative heroes award for the first time in years I got a real sort of steady income. Thanks patreon. Thank you. Got a youtube play button We got our own free billboard made it into one of those MIT lists and I put on some makeup and won 10,000 euro on the Dutch program gave it away to the team and got myself a nice bar of chocolate and We finally launched precious plastic version 3 did a big exhibition many members drop by We bought an old shipping container and turn it into a plastic recycling workspace with the best part You can set up a workspace like this yourself anywhere in the world and start recycling plastic We launched a lot of new tutorial videos Abaza to buy things online for members and Introduce the map that makes it easier to collaborate filled with people from around the world that want to get started Yeah, so by far most of my time this year is spent on precious plastic version 3 but this is probably the best thing that happened to me the beginning of the year I lost my phone and I Just replaced it with this shitty old Nokia phone I didn't really plan on keeping it because if I would I would have documented the process or think about a video on how to Share to share it with you But I didn't it just happened and I kept it and I really really enjoyed having this thing the whole year Because usually if I go to the toilet or from cooking I'm checking stuff on my phone and now I don't so I have space in my head to just Not have new input but reflect on the things I've done I really really enjoy it probably the best thing that happened to me this year the only downside to downsides I miss Google Maps and I can't fly my drone But that means I always need to make a local friend to install the app so we can fly the drone together Which is also kind of fun. All right, so that was 2017 compressed in a video Thank you for watching and thanks for watching all the other videos as well and supporting us on patreon. I mean that's still Amazing so thanks and see you next year
