Crisis pl\u00e1stica<\/h2>\n\n

El volumen de basura en nuestros r\u00edos, lagos y oc\u00e9anos se ha convertido en una crisis global. Durante cada tormenta, las aguas pluviales transportan la contaminaci\u00f3n de los caminos, los parques y las aceras hacia los arroyos, donde pueden descomponerse y da\u00f1ar los h\u00e1bitats cr\u00edticos. Si no se controla, la basura pl\u00e1stica de la cuenca de Chattahoochee se descompondr\u00e1 en micropl\u00e1sticos que eventualmente fluir\u00e1n hacia el Golfo de M\u00e9xico.<\/p>\n\n

Resolver el problema requerir\u00e1 estrategias efectivas y escalables implementadas a nivel comunitario. Para abordar este problema, Chattahoochee Riverkeeper emplea dispositivos llamados "trampas de basura" para eliminar la basura flotante de los afluentes del r\u00edo Chattahoochee.<\/p>\n\n

The trash traps are small-stream litter collection devices designed to catch floating garbage from stormwater runoff. The devices use booms to guide trash into a collection area where it can be captured and emptied after a rainstorm. Since the program\u2019s inception in 2019, CRK\u2019s trash traps have collected more than 15,000 pounds of floating trash. Approximately 40% of the volume of collected trash is recycled.<\/p>\n\n
