A Mobile Space Dedicated To The Observation of Plastic Pollution<\/h2>\n

The Observatory is a mobile space that contains popularized scientific data, and tools for individuals to observe the surrounding plastic pollution. It will travel from town to city, across 3 continents, to share knowledge about plastic pollution with a diversity of people around the world.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column el_class=”shadow2″ css=”.vc_custom_1594111169351{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

An itinerant awareness-raising space to link local pollution and global impact.<\/strong><\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”6299″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=””][vc_column_text]The Observatory is a small mobile container carrying popularized scientific data and tools for experimentation. It will travel from town to city to encourage citizens in areas most affected by plastic pollution, to make a difference.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”krack_list_wave”]<\/p>\n

Participatory Science System<\/h3>\n

Provision of observation tools and samples of polluted water from all over the world, for one’s observation of the pollution of water by micro-plastics.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”krack_list_wave”]<\/p>\n

Life cycle of plastics<\/h3>\n

Computer graphics highlighting different stages in the plastic’s life, from the oil well to the shop shelves, to finally ending up in the Ocean.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”krack_list_wave”]<\/p>\n

Plastic never disappears. It is simply invisible to the naked eye.<\/h3>\n

Information on everyday single-used plastic’s durability and its very long (or even impossible) degradation in nature. Those include plastic bags thrown away as soon as they come back from the market, straws discarded once drinks are finished, or even cigarette butts consumed during only a few minutes. These will all take hundreds of years to disappear.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”krack_list_wave”]<\/p>\n

Dissection of An Ordinary Plastic Waste Product<\/h3>\n

Tube of toothpaste, a packet of crisps, food tray: the display of “cups” of ordinary waste, to highlight the different layers of which they are composed, and therefore their challenging recyclability.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”krack_list_wave”]<\/p>\n

Air, water, soil: plastic can penetrate anywhere.<\/h3>\n

Scientific information on how air, water, and soil are contaminated, as well as concerning concrete consequences for biodiversity and human health.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”align_center” css=”.vc_custom_1594110979006{margin-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”6393″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]The Manufacturing Workshop<\/span><\/a>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”align_center” css=”.vc_custom_1594110988549{margin-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”6346″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Solutions Market<\/span><\/a>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”center” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” z_index=”” el_class=”blog_content”][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n
