 single-use plastic is the number one threat to our Pacific marine environment with over 97% of fish species found in the Pacific to digest microplastics. Unfortunately, we as a nation don't realise that plastic is a light, strong, recyclable material and recapturing its value as a resource, we can shift people's perspective about plastic waste. For instance, Mottata Village, where we are now, that plastic that they would normally throw away after single use, they can collect, bring it to us and we can recycle it together as a community and reduce products that they need in the village. The Women's Council came up with, oh, can you make rulers for school? Like, sure, we could come up with that. All we have to do is make the mould, right? So it's up to the community to come up with the idea. But then they see the value in collecting plastic. The whole point of the process is that we assign value to single-use plastic. It's now not a throwaway item. We're changing mindsets in terms of when people unwrap something or they have a single-use plastic. They think now, oh, this I can make money out of. I'm not going to go throw this away. If I collect enough, I can then produce something and then that product that I made, I can take to market and I can raise money for my family. Because this is an open-source project, you know, we can build these machines here. We can build multiple machines for all around the island. We could have a small setup in each major village. But to really drive value for the local community is we come up with products that export markets would be interested in. Making products that we can sell online to international markets. Driving up that dollar value of individual products to bring in real value into the community. It's not going to solve the plastic problem all around the world but it's going to change people's mindset. And that's the message is that we have to start thinking differently about our plastic use.
