World's Most Beautiful Beaches Prize

Pollution caused by humans in coastal areas is a major issue that I have witnessed in my lifetime as someone who grew up around beaches. My hometown's beach has been affectionately called, "The World's Most Beautiful Beaches" and in Thailand, where Rice Husk Beach Toys has been produced, I have also experienced the joy of such beautiful beaches. Humans love to visit such beautiful beaches, in Thailand and in Florida, yet so many of us are not willing to give up cheap plastic beach toys, umbrellas, etc. that enrich our playful lives. I selected this prize because I hope in the future, with circular economy-inspired interventions, all beaches and coastal ecosystems can become as beautiful as they can possible be.
