Crusaders against plastic pollution spread the word in Palawan
Excerpt
Race for Water expedition, the world’s largest solar-powered vessel, just ended a two-week stopover in Palawan. The expedition’s goal is a crusade against plastic pollution in the ocean. After 10 days in Puerto Princesa spent meeting officials and students, the expedition traveled north toward Pangatalan Island to meet high school students and raise their awareness on plastic pollution. The story began in 2017 when a crew of French seafarers, engineers, technicians and advocates set out on what would be a five-year journey around the world on the boat, Race for Water.
