Is this a project a rotary club could support by the way of financial donation?

Excellent idea John. I note that "with the system now up and running, both Aurecon and Ampcontrol are looking at further applications in remote areas and indigenous communities across Australia". What do you think Michael?

Yes I have been looking at new technologies for remote communities and with international potential. I am certain that Rotary could assist.

Magnetic Attraction: Microplastics

A Kyushu University study (2021) estimated there were 24.4 trillion pieces of microplastics in the world's upper oceans or roughly 30 billion 500-ml plastic water bottles. Microplastics are tiny, toxic and very hard to remove from the environment. But researchers in the US have discovered that some Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES) can attract and bind microplastics, making it easier to remove them from the environment. And the N in NADES is key - natural - in this instance, think extracts from plants. https://www.research.uky.edu/news/researchers-develop-eco-friendly-magnet-battle-microplastics
