  1. Hope you get a lot of volunteers and participants not just locally but from the world over. Something else that's related to your campaign is a video I saw on the GreenopolisTV YouTube channel. You should see it. http://youtu.be/xyH957EEXWE

  2. The CRR Machine will restore the ocean back to its natural conditions, recover future oil spills rapidly without disasters.


    CRR Machine is an improvement on what currently exists. The difference between CRR Machine and other’s that exists to day , CRR Machine has four functions, cleans the ocean to its previous condition, and it floats on water.


    The current devices or systems use today do not work . The skimmers and bummers that are out there only guide the oil and brings it together to then be recovered from the ocean.


    The CRR Machine is also solar battery operated and self contained.


    The CRR Machine can be seen on CNN iReports were an video has been made to demonstrate how the it works.
