The Becoming Spacepolitans blog celebrated the 50th Earth Day. After four years, let’s revise the most used benefits space gives us!
Listen to Earth From Space by Aspect to fully enjoy reading this post.
The 54th Earth Day points to the reduction of plastic production by 60% in 2040 since plastic pollution is increasing and is plasticizing our planet. How can space technologies support this ambitious goal? Easy answer!
Earth Observation data from satellites can be used for many applications. The revised page Earth from Space of Becoming Spacepolitans is about them.
The Ocean Cleanup is a non-profit organization that uses data collected in space and machine learning to find, capture, and clean up trillions of pieces of plastic trash floating in the oceans, forming the famous garbage patches.
So, on one side plastic usage should be improved (less for more), and on the other side, the plastic waste in the environment should be collected. Thanks to these two activities, there could be a chance to fix the problem! And space is here to help!
Did I arouse your curiosity? So, jump to the page and have a look!
What’s the next Becoming Spacepolitans section to be updated? Earth data collected from space are an important contribution to our daily lives. But they are not the only benefit space gives us. Next in review will be the Space for Earth page, in which many benefits to the UN Sustainable Development Goals are cited!

Space for All, All for Space!
