This time, Bruno traveled from Saquarema to Arraial do Cabo to meet up with Marcos and join forces in removing debris from the area. Arraial do Cabo is one of the best scuba diving spots in Brazil, home to a rich ecosystem—but it’s drowning in plastic.

The most shocking discovery was the sheer number of flip-flops scattered along the beach. In less than three hours, we collected 460 of them, making it the most common type of debris in this cleanup.

460 flip-flops tell a dark tale of ocean consumerism. each piece of plastic pulled from arraial's diving paradise writes its own chapter in our environmental reckoning.
