- Mmm, I'm still not sure. I'm taking a look at everything we've accumulated since we began our mission . We have cardboard, magazines, some microplastics that we collected in the beach cleaning … Something will occur to me!

- Yes, I have been looking and I have some clothes that have started to tear . That could also help us.

- We are going to gather everything we don't really need or that we don't use and see what we can think of.
