Another day, another wild findโ€”this time, a mini fridge left behind in paradise. Marcos pulled 61.1kg of waste from Praia Grande, proving once again that no piece of trash is too big to be removed. ๐Ÿš€โ™ป The ocean gives us everything. We give back by protecting it.

A tide pulls in many things, but a whole TV? Thatโ€™s next level. Today, Nick uncovered an old television in the wild, along with 105.6kg of waste.

A pouf in the wild? Some things just donโ€™t belong in natureโ€”yet, there they were. ๐ŸŒฟโŒ Today, Nick pulled 81.2kg of waste from a place that should be untouched.

53kg of waste pulled back from the abyss. ๐ŸŒŠโ™ป Each piece tells a storyโ€”of neglect, of excess. But today, they tell a new one: of action, of change, of a future rewritten by those who refuse to look away. Regeneration isnโ€™t a concept. Itโ€™s a movement.

Another 66kg out of nature, pushing us past an incredible milestoneโ€”1 TON of waste removed just in January! Plastic, glass, and all kinds of pollution donโ€™t stand a chance.

Wires everywhere, yet people remain disconnected from nature. We found over 10 kg of discarded wires tangled in the environmentโ€”a hidden threat to marine life!

This time, Bruno traveled from Saquarema to Arraial do Cabo to meet up with Marcos and join forces in removing debris from the area. Arraial do Cabo is one of the best scuba diving spots in Brazil, home to a rich ecosystemโ€”but itโ€™s drowning in plastic. The most shocking discovery was the sheer number of flip-flops scattered along the beach. In less than three hours, we collected 460 of them, making it the most common type of debris in this cleanup. ๐Ÿ“Arraial do Cabo - RJ ๐Ÿ Praia Grande ๐Ÿ—“ 30.01.2025 โ™ป 73.9kg recovered ๐Ÿ—‘ 7 volumes ๐Ÿ‘ฅ Bruno, Marcos @marinioac @preciousnoggles @rocketman @drgonzo

Weโ€™ve started building our native plant nursery and secured funding for 377 seedlings. Now we are going to plant native trees besides cleaning beaches! ๐ŸŒฟ Why native plants? They restore ecosystems, absorb carbon, and protect biodiversity. ๐Ÿ”จ How? Sustainable 18mยฒ nursery, seed collection, and ongoing care. ๐ŸŒฑ Where?

Aloha ocean lovers ๐Ÿ’š Weโ€™re thrilled to share an update on our January efforts! This month, we successfully completed 6 cleanup actions and recovered an impressive 288.6 kg of trash from beaches, rivers, and lagoons. January has also been a time to reorganize and prepare for an impactful year ahead. But the month isnโ€™t over yet, and weโ€™re aiming high: 1 ton of recovered trash before January ends! With your support, we can reach this goal and continue creating cleaner shores and healthier ecosystems. Letโ€™s make it happen together! ๐ŸŒŽ๐Ÿ’ช
Aloha, VRBS ๐Ÿ’š In 2024, we organized 84 cleanups, dedicating a total of 175 hours to directly removing waste from nature. Together, we recovered an incredible 4,138 kg of trash! None of this would have been possible without your amazing support. Thanks to VRBS, we were able to fund the removal of 300 kg of trash in 2024. For 2025, our goal is to double that impact or more and recover 600 kg. Letโ€™s make it happen together!
