Joining the Trash Hero. It's right: only together we can succeed!
Presentation of the G-Cubes Project At Trash Hero Indonesia by Harald Reichenbach. Including Translation into Indonesian language, Bahasi.
Presenting solutions: G-Cubes as modular elements for construction?
First pilot project with eco-bricks on Gili Meno, Indonesia
Presenting solutions 2: Guatemala shows the way!
This indigenous town banned all plastic products and turned back to
traditional methods. Their motivation? Saving the environment.

G-Cubes sailed on the yacht O’Deline (Beneteau Oceanis 473 CP, 2005) with the WARC to Lombok. The way across Asia and the Arabicc Sea to Muscat, Oman was sailed on our own. We will join the WARC from Mauritius to St. Lucia. New final destination now is the United Nations in New York (ETA: Middle of June 2020)

'30,000 nautical miles around the world'

Harald Reichenbach
President G-Cubes Association
Nowadays we talk a lot about waste in the sea; ‘Plastic waste, plastic islands, micro-plastic, food chain, recycling’ and many more are key words of our time. The twenty-one year old,Dutch entrepreneur Boyan Zlat, wants to clean the oceans. An enormous task if you consider that each year between 4.8 and 12.7 million tons of plastic waste land in the oceans, as a study by Jambeck JR (and others, 2010) estimates.
Like Boyan Zlat and other environmental organisations, the association G-Cubes is committed to the cleaning of the oceans. With the project we want to make a contribution, which promotes a solution to the global waste problem. The possibilities to mobilise the world population to such measures are far from exhausted. To get the problem under control, more than just awareness is needed. It takes money to deal with such an economic and environmental challenge. G-Cubes bridges art and ecology. We want to raise money through art, then use those funds to promote projects which conduct a sustainable long- term waste management.
G-Cubes is also a great adventure. The last year we sailed from Marseille to Australia (18'000 nautical miles). It will need another year to go back to Marseille via Asia. The realisation of this circumnavigation of the globe is a challenge and to use the ship as transportation, habitat, workshop and storeroom, requires great logistical effort. We are willing to accept these challenges and see the success of G-Cubes in a broad based network.
Help us to realise a sustainable, visionary project.
