Description
I got the chance to sit down with John Davis to discuss how funding for projects for fighting marine plastic pollution is shifting from a non-profit model to a for-profit model. The shift comes with companies and venture capitalists that have identified a number of opportunities to make money off of harnessing ocean plastic pollution to make a profit and an impact. John and I dive into how the funding was distributed in the past and how many of the original organizations are being left out of the funding for a new model. Do these organizations that fight marine plastic pollution need to evolve with the times to survive and build on their legacy?
