SACC Webinar: Creative Solutions for Saving our Oceans 

The 8th Continent: Creative Solutions for Saving our Oceans
featuring Lenka Petráková and Plastic Ocean Project
On Tuesday, March 16, 2021, the Slovak-American Cultural Center organized a webinar that delved into one of the world's biggest challenges: ocean pollution. Slovak architect Lenka Petráková, winner of the 2020 Grand Prix Award for Architecture and Innovation of Sea, brilliantly provides a solution to this challenge with her design concept, 'The 8th Continent'. Lenka presented her prototype ocean cleaning facility that removes plastics from our oceans. Joining the discussion were Bonnie Monteleone, founder of Plastic Ocean Project, a non-profit whose mission is to educate the public through field research and implement outreach initiatives addressing the global plastics pollution problem, and Nick Adamo, technology executive and founder of Making a Mark, a charitable foundation dedicated to empowering change through awareness, knowledge and inclusive opportunities targeting the environment and education.
