So when is someone going to ask the fishing industry to pull its finger out and clean up its act?

[@nkenchington6575]

its act

[@hannahcallow6374]

There's some info from WDC about. They've been a bit 'erge 🤦‍♀️' over fishing for a while

[@adirondackErin]

Never. Did u know they sponsor the dolphin safe tuna certification group? They don’t ever visit the vessels or companies. All they have to do is fill out paperwork. What a joke.

[@hannahcallow6374]

@@adirondackErin more info 🤔😖

[@alicerowan4688]

Oh yeah, let’s just ask those in the fishing industry to “clean up their act”. Go ahead and let us know how that works out. Maybe harsh punishment could help deter their contributions to the ocean’s trash. But it’s not just the fishing industry - everyone needs to get on board with cleaning it up. Pointing fingers, even if you do not personally contribute to the trash, does NOT solve the problem. It’s a humanity issue!

When future generations are dying of plastic induced strokes and heart attacks because of the microplastics in our blood stream they will look back and realize that this project was the only meaningful work that was done during our generation. Microplastics induced strokes and heart attacks already happen today because enough plastic had had enough time to get small enough to get into our blood stream. You have plastic in your body right now, we all do. However the amount will begin to hit critical mass in the future and those people experiencing that crisis will look back to our grocery bags and hate us and they will look back at this project and say why didn't they fund it instead of blasting off billions of dollars of rocket fuel to get to a barren wasteland.

[@Novastar.SaberCombat]

Nah.

[@marlan5470]

That'l teach them to be a bunch of spoiled whiny brats. Who knew their demands for plastic toys, crying and yelling at Target and Toy's R US will eventually bite them in the rear? j/k

So real. This channel doesn't even have a million subs. Disgraceful

[@Seraphim144]

I agree with you, since we should postpone space exploration beyond our own moon until we fix or drastically improve humanities own problems (climate change, environmental destruction, global tensions, extreme poverty, racism, etc) and become a type 1 civilization. We are in no position to colonize space if we can’t even tolerate others differences.

Magnificent, Cheers👍🍻

Make Hula Hoops & let's have hoop fundraisers!!

[@ForeheadPushUps]

I boycott plastics as much possible, use glass jars, natural fiber clothing (I hate polyester anyway). Cigarette lobby was insane, think about the oil one where the mass is all guilty. USA, Middle East, all oil producers should 100% fund the Clean Up, like drug lords should fund rehabs. They'd still all make a $hitload of 🤑New World Order politics

[@faisalmir9300]

❤. I too want to be a part of this project

[@ศิริญญาทองไชย]

I love this project and many people who have to do about this problem But I hate the CEO. The ocean cleanup! 🤗

Why do you not like the CEO? I just want to get some perspective.

How can I volunteer to work on the deck of the ship/s sorting out the trash?

[@GudasWorld]

What are you doing with all the plastic?

[@HTV-2_Hypersonic_Glide_Vehicle]

taking it out of the ocean

[@amanda_3697]

They also make plastics beads from the waste to create a circular system, look into it!

[@knowledgebooster4006]

Making eye glasses with the plastic material

[@topropenoptop]

@@knowledgebooster4006they actually aren’t anymore. They did that to prove that you can do something with the plastic during system 001, but since then haven’t. I believe the plastic is just brought to land and sent to processing places like any other recycled plastic. Which unfortunately possibly means landfills in some cases.

[@GudasWorld]

@@knowledgebooster4006 thats over. Thay made glasses. They aren't making glasses.

[@Bear-yh6cv]

When are governments going to step up? Every government on the planet is responsible for its own country and every government should be contributing 1% of its GDP to the ocean clean up and countries that are known to be higher polluters like India, china, Pakistan and South American countries should be paying more. It’s unacceptable what we are doing to our oceans and we need to take severe action and get Ocean clean up processes and machinery everywhere.

@@theoceancleanup Thank you very much... Is there a way to volunteer for ocean clean up in India. I can help to find team of volunteers. Please also reach Pune and Bangalore for the rivers. The biggest issue in India is rivers getting polluted.

[@theoceancleanup]

Thanks for your interest to help! We are looking for volunteer citizen scientists who play an important role in our mission through river and ocean surveys. With your help, we will be able to gather lots of data to determine the best potential Interceptor locations. More info: theoceancleanup.com/research/citizen-science/

[@alexgoss6366]

Out of interest what is the cost per tonne of removed plastic for the boats compared to an interceptor

[@KatMer6163]

Where does all of that garbage go for disposal? Is it recycled or thrown on a landfill to pollute the land? I saw where barges are being shipped to my hometown. We have more than enough people to pollute our one of only 2 landfills and and the recycling center closed down 15 years ago as it wasn't viably cost effective. My landlord, at the time, found a newborn kitten in a recycling box.

[@bobbymoss6160]

Can you imagine if the world governments around the world put some effort into cleaning up the environment instead of building up weapons of war?

[@CaravelClerihew]

Anyone else thought they saw a 9ft tall man washing that car at 0:29?

[@hollygolightly8048]

Either that or the auto was in a ditch, it was a Mach-up or a Matchbox car. 😂😂😂 good catch.

[@TheRedStateBlue]

it would be nice if we just banned plastics, altogether...

[@goodfodder]

sadly unrealistic, however a ban on single use non biodegradable plastic must be a goal

[@bryanlallen]

This project has evolved in an interesting direction. It’s clear that the interceptors are useful; going out in the ocean with the big ships and the collection boom has turned out to be less than useful, if the intent is to accomplish lessening ocean plastic in an energy neutral way. There appears to be tremendous overhead with the boom system with little actual reward and likely very high cost.

[@MikeAG333]

......"less than useful". Are you suggesting it is making things worse? That's a bizarre assessment. Have you got some evidence to back up your analysis?

[@bryanlallen]

@@MikeAG333 Shrug. Read what I said originally. If for every pound of plastic (mostly waste from commercial fishing operations, BTW) that is removed from the ocean by The Ocean Cleanup, hundreds of gallons of fuel and beaucoup $$$ are expended, then perhaps concentrating on the Interceptor technology and minimizing or eliminating the Boom expeditions is in order. Just because you CAN do something doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. Notice how The Ocean Cleanup has evolved over the years. The original idea that there were great rafts of plastic in the gyres has been found to be incorrect; the plastic is diffuse and dispersed. Where the Intercepters are stationed is a much more cost-effective location for removing plastic from the oceans.

[@MikeAG333]

@@bryanlallen No, your last statement is fundamentally and obviously wrong. The interceptors role is not removing plastic from oceans. It is to prevent any more getting into the oceans. Cleaning up what is already there is an entirely different question, because it doesn't go away magically if you somehow stop any more being added to it.

[@hollygolightly8048]

Perhaps you should submit your resume to Mr Slat as a consultant.

[@bryanlallen]

⁠@@hollygolightly8048 Hah hah hah! I very much doubt Mr. Slat needs additional advice; he’s plenty smart enough to figure this out on his own.

If money could clean up the ocean i think there wont be ocean clean up.

[@user-zu2mi7je9d]

I support ocean cleanup and will continue. BUT, as you have understood that you need to stop the flow that go in ocean, and created interceptors, you must understand that stopping the flow that go in rivers is mandatory. This flow is due to HUMANS. so pressure them, by all the ways, to not throwing pollution in nature. Go in schools, throw a garbage basket and see the reaction. Throw many trucks of garbage in governement of guatemala in order they understand pollution need to be adressed by education and state power. What are doing the world leaders company in guatemala ? For ocean cleanup ? Nada ?????? EDUCATE PEOPLE, THIS IS MANDATORY.

[@lynngreene1993]

It a wonder anything lives in our oceans 🤬

[@o.0.DTL.0.o]

What floating is what can clean. What not floating is what cannot clean. The ocean is not just polluted by plastic but many other chemicals from others factories and industries and activities. 😂 just like trying to clean up sand in the ocean. Hope for a bettwe world when the world can never get any better. 😂

[@WilliamHollinger2019]

Fun fact microorganisms needs plastic to live drift wood use to be in the ocean plastic is in place of wood.

[@MikeAG333]

Huh? Are you thinking? I'm sure there are one or two micro-organisms evolving to exploit water-borne plastic, but the biome was perfectly healthy before humanity starting dumping plastic into it. And there is still plenty of wood in the ocean. It breaks down harmlessly over time, unlike plastic.
