Adult entertainment website Pornhub is hoping to clean up the planet by having you clean the pipes.
In its latest initiative, Pornhub hopes you “do yourself good for the good of the planet” with a viewing of The Dirtiest Porn Ever.
By viewing the new film, which stars Leolulu, one of the porn site’s most popular stars, Porhub will be donating funds to non-profit Ocean Polymers, an organization with a mandate of providing a sustainable solution to the removal and processing of ocean waste.
“As of today, 12.7 million tons of plastic can be found within the depths of our oceans,” Pornhub vice president Corey Price told LADBible. “Ocean pollution has grown to become of the most significant global issues of our lifetime, and it’s only getting worse. That’s why it’s imperative that we use our platform to raise awareness and inspire change — not just for the time being but for generations to come. We’re dirty here at Pornhub, but that doesn’t mean our beaches need to be.”
The porn itself naturally has a dirty plot.
The Dirtiest Porn Ever was shot at one of the world’s filthiest beaches, where Leolulu can be found doing the dirty deeds in the sand. However, it might be hard for the viewer to get their rocks off because the sexual acts are obscured by mounds of garbage.
As a cleaning crew begins to rid the beach of the trash, the sexual acts the couple is partaking in will be unveiled … in all its naked glory.
MARVEL CLIMAX: Pornhub says Avengers character porn searches spike by 2,912%
Bella Thorne shakes it up with porn
‘F— Your Period’ porn campaign wants women on their periods to orgasm
Pornhub encourages randy adult film connoisseurs to watch the porno in its entirely. In exchange, the company will donate an undisclosed amount of cash to Ocean Polymers with each view.
So far, the trailer for The Dirtiest Porn Ever has racked up more than 1.5 million views.
Let’s hope that translates to even more clicks on Pornhub — the world depends on it.

Japan may have to dump radioactive water from Fukushima into the sea, minister says

TOKYO — Japan’s Tokyo Electric Power will have to dump radioactive water from its destroyed Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean as it runs out of room to store it, the environment minister said on Tuesday.
Tokyo Electric, or Tepco, has collected more than 1 million tonnes of contaminated water from the cooling pipes used to keep fuel cores from melting since the plant was crippled by an earthquake and tsunami in 2011.
“The only option will be to drain it into the sea and dilute it,” the minister, Yoshiaki Harada, told a news briefing in Tokyo.
“The whole of the government will discuss this, but I would like to offer my simple opinion.”
The government is awaiting a report from an expert panel before making a final decision on how to dispose of the radioactive water.
Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga, in a separate press briefing, described Harada’s comments as “his personal opinion.”
Tepco was not in a position to decide what to do but would follow the policy once the government made a decision, a spokesman for the utility said.

The utility says it will run out of room to store the water by 2022. Harada did not say how much water would need to be dumped into the ocean.
Any green light from the government to dump the waste into the sea would anger neighbours such as South Korea, which summoned a senior Japanese embassy official last month to explain how the Fukushima water would be dealt with.
“We’re just hoping to hear more details of the discussions that are under way in Tokyo so that there won’t be a surprise announcement,” a South Korean diplomat told Reuters, requesting anonymity due to the sensitivity of bilateral ties.
South Korea’s foreign ministry said in a statement said it had asked Japan “to take a wise and prudent decision on the issue.”
Relations between the East Asian nations are already frosty following a dispute over compensation for Koreans forced to work in Japanese factories in the Second World War.
Coastal nuclear plants commonly dump into the ocean water that contains tritium, an isotope of hydrogen that is hard to separate and is considered to be relatively harmless.
Tepco, which also faces opposition from fishermen, admitted last year that the water in its tanks still contained contaminants beside tritium.
“The government must commit to the only environmentally acceptable option for managing this water crisis which is long term storage and processing to remove radioactivity, including tritium,” Shaun Burnie, senior nuclear specialist with Greenpeace Germany, said in an email.

NASA plans to send water-hunting robot to moon surface in 2022

WASHINGTON — NASA will send a golf cart-sized robot to the moon in 2022 to search for deposits of water below the surface, an effort to evaluate the vital resource ahead of a planned human return to the moon in 2024 to possibly use it for astronauts to drink and to make rocket fuel, the U.S. space agency said on Friday.
The VIPER robot will drive for km on the dusty lunar surface to get a closer look at what NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine has touted for months: underground pockets of “hundreds of millions of tons of water ice” that could help turn the moon into a jumping-off point to Mars.
“VIPER is going to assess where the water ice is. We’re going to be able to characterize the water ice, and ultimately drill,” Bridenstine said on Friday at the International Astronautical Congress in Washington. “Why is this important? Because water ice represents something significant. Life support.”
VIPER stands for Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover.
The rover is expected to arrive on the moon’s south polar region in December 2022, carrying four instruments to sample lunar soil for traces of hydrogen and oxygen — the basic components of water that can be separated and synthesized into fuel for a planned fleet of commercial lunar launch vehicles.

In development at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California, the VIPER robot will log “about 100 days of data that will be used to inform the first global water resource maps of the moon,” NASA said in announcing the plans.
NASA is in the process of kickstarting its Artemis program, an accelerated mission to put people back on the moon for the first time since the 1970s to train and prove technologies that would later be sent on a Mars mission.

Dutch foundation launches project to tackle river plastic pollution

Rotterdam — A Dutch foundation devoted to fighting plastic pollution in the world’s oceans on Saturday unveiled a new device designed to stop it from reaching the sea in the first place: by collecting and cleaning plastic waste from major rivers.
The Ocean Cleanup Foundation, a non-governmental organization best known for its attempts to collect and clean plastic from the “Great Pacific Garbage Patch,” said it has been testing a system based on similar principles — a floating barrier to collect plastic passively — for use in rivers.
“To solve the plastic pollution problem we need to do two things: we need to clean up what’s already in the oceans, for that we of course have the Ocean Cleanup System,” founder Boyan Slat, 25, told Reuters.
“Now we also hope to tackle the other side of the equation: preventing more plastic from reaching the ocean in the first place.”
The foundation’s ocean system uses a large floating boom to collect rubbish. After initial setbacks and adjustments to the system, Ocean Cleanup reported earlier this month that it managed to pick up plastic from the high seas for the first time.
Story continues below
The river version, called the Interceptor, consists of a vessel that is anchored to a riverbed while floating arms — which leave space for animals and river traffic to pass, organizers say — divert waste into its collection system.
The system has already been tested on rivers in Jakarta, Indonesia and in Klang, Malaysia, the organization said on Saturday. Two more are planned for Can Tho in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta, and Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. Ocean Cleanup said that is still testing the river system and will not give out numbers on plastics collected until a rollout phase has been completed.
According to the group each device is capable of extracting thousands of kilograms (pounds) of detritus per day.
Slat said that 1% of rivers are responsible for 80% of the pollution in the world’s seas. That makes finding a solution to the problem of plastic pollution emanating from rivers “quite achievable,” Slat said.

Chedoke Falls in Hamilton (Google Maps)
The City of Hamilton says billions of litres of untreated wastewater spewed into a creek over a period of four years.
The city says an investigation showed 24 billion litres of storm water runoff and sewage was discharged into Chedoke Creek between 2014 and 2018.
The probe also showed the discharge happened after a bypass gate in the sewer overflow tank was left partially open on Jan. 28, 2014.
The details of the spill, which was discovered in July 2018, were first reported by the Hamilton Spectator on Wednesday.
The city says its investigation could not determine why the gate was opened.
