Canada’s first-ever beach cleaning robot just hit Lake Simcoe shores

Descripción:

Canada’s first beach‑cleaning robot, BeBot, has been launched on Lake Simcoe’s shores. This sand‑sifting, remote‑operated robot collects debris such as plastic, glass, metal, and paper to prevent pollution in the Great Lakes. Unveiled at Sibbald Point Provincial Park, BeBot is part of the Great Lakes Plastic Cleanup project, which operates at over 225 locations and has removed nearly 244,000 pieces of plastic so far, according to CTV News. The initiative is supported by Pollution Probe, the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, and Unsmoke Canada.
