Reply to comment by NotACapedCrusader1 in Indonesian program pays fishers to collect plastic trash at sea by NotACapedCrusader1
well, since the commercial fishing industry is the #1 contributor to ocean plastics, this 'reward' seems odd.
not a bad idea altogether. paying the fishing industry to not litter is bound to be more effective than fining them for littering (which is nearly impossible to enforce at sea).

not quite "groundbreaking" treatment. Acupuncturists have been using e-stim for decades on stroke patients with success. In fact, there are entire hospital wings reserved for this all over China.
