点评:We went on a tour of the Eco Barge headquarters yesterday to see the amazing work they do. From the moment we arrived, Libby and Rachel were so friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly passionate about making a real difference — not just by cleaning up rubbish from the ocean, but by finding innovative ways to repurpose what they collect!
We started the experience by sorting plastic bottles and learning what can and can’t be recycled. Then we enjoyed a fascinating presentation on the different types of plastics and how each one affects the environment. We also met “Ken and Barbie” — the impressive machines that break down plastics into tiny pieces, which the team then uses to create new products. It was eye-opening to see how much effort and care goes into every step of their process.
The highlight of the tour was meeting the rescued turtles that the team rehabilitates and nurtures back to health. It was such an inspiring experience — definitely worth visiting, and even better if you can get involved and volunteer!

首先,我们给塑料瓶分类,了解哪些可以回收,哪些不能回收。然后,我们欣赏了一场精彩的演示,了解了不同类型的塑料以及它们对环境的影响。我们还见到了“肯和芭比”——这两台令人印象深刻的机器,它们能将塑料分解成微小的碎片,然后团队会用这些碎片来制造新产品。看到他们每一步都倾注了多少心血和心血,真是令人大开眼界。
这次旅行的亮点是与团队正在康复和照料的获救海龟见面。这是一次非常鼓舞人心的经历——绝对值得一看,如果你能参与其中并成为志愿者,那就更好了!
