Interview with Joel Michael
summary
Claim: blockchain transparency tracks each removed bottle from manufacture to reuse, and plastic credits monetize collection. Project builds an autonomous unmanned AI boat for ocean cleanup and runs a university challenge to stop river outflow (10,000 rivers cause ~90% of ocean plastic). Funding and community buy-in come from 365 NFTs representing days and 365 artists; buyers sponsor a cleanup day and see exact coordinates and reuse outcomes. Boats aim to be built and fueled from reclaimed plastic and operate carbon-neutral.
