Ontario Parks has entered into an exciting partnership with @PollutionProbe. They are helping keep our provincial parks clean and the waters protected!
The BeBot is a fully electric, remote-controlled machine that sifts through sand to remove plastic, glass, metal, paper, and other debris from Ontario’s beaches. By intercepting litter before it enters our lakes, it helps prevent the breakdown of plastics into harmful microplastics, protecting wildlife and preserving clean, natural spaces for everyone to enjoy.
