We could not be more excited to be heading to New York for the third Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit, co-hosted with Bloomberg Philanthropies. Tune in live on LinkedIn to see Hannah Jones and Mike Bloomberg host an array of influential speakers including Rt Hon Dame Jacinda Ardern and Matt Damon – as well introducing our 15 new Finalists to the world!

The Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit 2024 www.linkedin.com

We have collected over 2.7 million Bags of ocean bound waste and fed , empowered over 968,000. We have over 1898 waste collectors who our hero’s amd work tirelessly to clean up and prevent ocean bound waste. We have received 38 million in funding from the souht African stimulus fund. Litter4tokens has built an app which has all the data of all our indigenous people who are saving the ocean as they don’t just collect and sort plastics, from k4 , tin and glass all tracked for business to see the impact Creating the perfect circularity and getting all packaging back to be repurpose. Such a pity we were nominated for the earthshot prize but didn’t get to the finals for some reason. Collaboration is key to support the foundations on the ground doing the work. We work with the municipalities to bring communities together, prevention is better than cure. EPR funding isn’t reaching the collectors and making aLL packaging the same value. Www.litter4tokens.com Www.litter4tokens.orgOur foundation CEO is also at the and Discovered that Nurdles are lent transported as hazardous material! Since 1940 the chemical industry has been releasing these into the environment . She invented the mermaid tear catcher to help educate the world about the nurldes (memrmaid tears) all over our beaches and rivers around the world. Exxonmobil and vinlar have lost over trillions of nurldes at sea along our coastline in souht Africa we will never be able to clean up this catastrophe. I have present to the UNEP amd IMO to get the ammendment of the INDG code for nurldes. , I am working with lawyers in USA California as we are suing BNSF and NCT railway for spilling noodles for the last three years destroy our ocean we all share. The problem is too much money is put into cleaning up beaches and the environment where we should be putting the funding into prevention method measures like literature, tokens, and changing the IMG code preventing further disaster. Prevention better than cure. Regards clare

Thank you for joining everyone!

Philanthropy is about the liberation of the receiver, not redemption of the giver - like that :)

Not one Earthshot Prize finalist mentions prevention as a method to save our planet. Does this mean trillions of nurdles can continue spilling into our oceans, silently killing marine life with no accountability? Nurdles are one of the biggest, yet least known, destroyers of our earth—tiny plastic pellets that wreak havoc on our ecosystems. I proposed a solution: instead of transporting plastic in the form of nurdles, the chemical industry should ship plastic in larger, manageable tubes. The transformation into nurdles should only happen once the plastic reaches its final destination at manufacturing plants. This simple shift could drastically reduce the risk of spills during transport. I won’t give up, even though we received a "no" from the Earthshot Prize. We will continue to fight for this planet and champion real, long-term prevention strategies. Our oceans and marine life deserve better, and we are determined to lead that change. Has this signal been heard? Nurdles are destroying our planet, yet the world seems unaware. Hopefully, someone out there sees this and helps push it forward, making this change a reality—one we should have made a decade ago. ---

The Earthshot Prize is quickly becoming the Olympics of Climate and I am so excited to be joining in New York.

Creativity is contagious, pass it on.

Such a strong group of ladies on the dais right now! 💚
