Have you ever sailed far away into the blue oceans? Was there something fascinating that caught your attention while sailing? Most of us probably expect to spot a whale, taking a plunge into the air, or a group of dolphins marching along the waves, but unfortunately, for Yvan Bourgnon, the story was entirely different.
Meet Yvan Bourgnon, a seasoned yacht racer, who was so fed up with seeing floating mats of plastic garbage in coastal waters, that he built an ocean-cleaning sailboat that is propelled (fuelled) by the garbage it collects.
Dr. Emmet Brown was notorious for having succeeded in replacing his plutonium generator with an ordinary waste generator at the end of the movie Back to the Future. The Manta, like the DeLorean in the movie, uses garbage to power an electric motor that propels the large catamaran with the help of the sails.
Yvan Bourgnon is a skilled Franco-Swiss skipper who started sailing with his parents at the age of eight for a round-the-world trip, where he found the ocean he would never leave.
Yves Bourgnon's ocean-cleaning boat, named Manta, is the first offering from his Globally Acclaimed SeaCleaners Project, and with a width of 56-meters, it is conferred to be one of the largest waste-cleaning boats in the world.
Here is how the Manta gets fuelled by the Waste!
Manta is equipped with conveyor belts that collect garbage as small as 10 millimeters between the three pontoons, which the Manta glides over, while three trawl nets floating behind (to a depth of 1 metre to avoid harm to sea life) add to the onboard array.
This trash is then transported to a processing machine where crew people carry out the sorting process for the waste before pushing it inside an incinerator that shreds and melts the plastic – even using heat and gas – for power generation in a turbine.
With the 70% self-sufficiency in terms of energy, all thanks to solar panels on the decks and a wind turbine that harvests energy from the wind coming off the sails, Manta does the job of sailing around while pulling in 3 tonnes of waste per hour almost without ever having to return to harbour to refill or offload plastic.
“I have been travelling the oceans since I was 8 years old. I've seen them deteriorate, warm-up, acidify and become plasticised. I created the association The SeaCleaners to fight against this global scourge with the desire to create a revolutionary ship, a pioneer in the collection of plastic waste, the Manta. Today, The SeaCleaners are fighting on all fronts: awareness and prevention, the dissemination of scientific knowledge, the transition to a circular economy, and the collection of waste on land and at sea. With three watchwords to guide our approach: taking action, finding solutions, refusing resignation.” An excerpt from Yvan Bourgnon’s The SeaCleaners Project.
With The SeaCleaners, of which he is Chairman and Founder, he is taking on a new environmental challenge and wishes to develop an effective and concrete solution to combat plastic pollution in the seas: the Manta project.

Mostly a reader, rarely post, but I figured I would share what I look at before signing up anywhere. After trying maybe a dozen sites I stopped trusting the big banners.
First thing is the licence: see which authority is listed in the footer, and if your country is on the allowed list. Then payments: card, e-wallets and bank transfer should all be there, and cashout times should be listed up front.
Never judge a site by the bonus alone. Read the wagering and the max bet rule, and live tables often do not count at all. A good recent review that covers all of this is here [url=http://jobboard.piasd.org/author/sebastian9ced31/]bonus at Gamba Casino[/url] and it saved me some time.
On mobile I mostly use the browser version, and a good site loads fast and does not log you out every five minutes. Ask support one simple question first: slow or scripted answers usually mean trouble later.
Anyway, that is my routine. Set a budget and stick to it.

Been reading this board for a while, thought I would drop what I look at before signing up anywhere. After a few bad experiences I learned to read the small print first.
Licence comes first for me: check who regulates the site, and whether they actually accept players from your country. After that I look at banking: card, e-wallets and bank transfer should all be there, and cashout times should be listed up front.
Never judge a site by the bonus alone. Anything above 40x rollover is a red flag for me, and the bonus usually expires in a week or two. A decent independent write-up with the current terms can be found here [url=https://dreevoo.com/profile_info.php?pid=2485171]play at Craybet[/url] and it saved me some time.
I play almost only on my phone, and if there is an app I make sure it comes from the official page. Test the live chat before depositing: slow or scripted answers usually mean trouble later.
That is about it. Only play with money you can afford to lose.

Been reading this board for a while, so here is how I pick an online casino these days. After a few bad experiences I stopped trusting the big banners.
Licence comes first for me: see which authority is listed in the footer, and whether they actually accept players from your country. After that I look at banking: crypto is a plus but not a must, and there should be no weird fees on cashouts.
Never judge a site by the bonus alone. Read the wagering and the max bet rule, and some games count less towards it. A decent independent write-up with the current terms is worth a read here [url=https://sites.google.com/view/reveryplay-1052/]play at Revery Play[/url] and it saved me some time.
I play almost only on my phone, and a good site loads fast and does not log you out every five minutes. Test the live chat before depositing: slow or scripted answers usually mean trouble later.
Anyway, that is my routine. Only play with money you can afford to lose.

Mostly a reader, rarely post, so here is my short checklist for choosing a casino site. After getting burned once or twice I stopped trusting the big banners.
I always start with licensing: check who regulates the site, and whether they actually accept players from your country. After that I look at banking: card, e-wallets and bank transfer should all be there, and cashout times should be listed up front.
Never judge a site by the bonus alone. Wagering of 35x or 40x is normal, and the bonus usually expires in a week or two. A decent independent write-up with the current terms can be found here [url=https://racetime.gg/team/casino-guide-nedgccs]Ice Casino[/url] so you know what you are signing up for.
On mobile I mostly use the browser version, and a good site loads fast and does not log you out every five minutes. Support matters too: a real human reply beats a bot loop.
Hope this helps someone. Treat it as entertainment, not income.
