Inspiration sometimes arrives in strange ways. Here is the story of how a dirty disposable diaper led to the development of an artificial intelligence (AI) solution to help rid the world’s coasts of massive amounts of waste and garbage.

灵感有时以奇怪的方式到达。 这是一个肮脏的一次性尿布如何促成人工智能(AI)解决方案的发展的故事，该解决方案有助于消除世界各地大量的废物和垃圾。

It starts in 2005: Camden Howitt is surfing off Puerto Escondido on Mexico’s wild west coast when, suddenly, a floating diaper smacks him in the face. He paddles back to shore in disgust, only to stumble upon a discarded toilet seat lying on the sand.

它始于2005年：卡姆登·豪伊特(Camden Howitt)在墨西哥狂野的西海岸的埃斯Kong迪多港(Puerto Escondido)上冲浪，突然间，一条漂浮的尿布把他的脸上打了一下。 他厌恶地划回岸上，却偶然发现了一块废弃的马桶座，躺在沙子上。

When Howitt returns home to New Zealand half a world away, his heart sinks when he sees how much trash and other refuse is also washing up on its geographically isolated, and once pristine, 15,000-kilometer (9,300-mile) coastline.

当豪威特回到半个世界之遥的新西兰回到家乡时，当他看到有多少垃圾和其他垃圾在其地理上隔离的，曾经是原始的15,000公里(9,300英里)海岸线上被冲走时，他的心脏沉没了。

Many people might merely shrug at such a seemingly intractable global problem and see it as just too hard to fix. But not Howitt. His mission became clear: He would dedicate his life to protecting paradise.

许多人可能只是对这个看似棘手的全球性问题耸耸肩，认为解决起来太难了。 但不是豪伊特。 他的任务很明确：他将毕生致力于保护天堂。

Camden Howitt, Co-Founder of Sustainable Coastlines. 可持续海岸线联合创始人卡姆登·豪伊特(Camden Howitt)。

Co-Founder Sam Judd came up with the idea of forming a non-profit organization while surfing in the Galápagos Islands in 2008. A year later, the two created Sustainable Coastlines in New Zealand to educate, motivate, and empower individuals and communities to clean up and restore their coastal environments and waterways.

联合创始人Sam Judd提出了在2008年在加拉帕戈斯群岛冲浪时组建非营利组织的想法。一年后，两人在新西兰创建了可持续海岸线 ，以教育，激励和授权个人和社区进行清洁建立并恢复其沿海环境和水路。

It was the start of an obsession, and one that has just attracted a grant from AI for Earth: Microsoft’s US$50 million, five-year commitment to put AI in the hands of those working to protect our planet across four key areas – agriculture, biodiversity, climate change, and water.
