Thank you for this piece. While Boyan's solution is questioned by many in the cause, we applaud his effort and passion. He's a young man that was horrified by what plastic pollution is doing to our oceans and our own human food chain, and he executed on a solution. We look forward to seeing the results.
Hey Vice , this might seem petty in the face of the topics being discussed, but any chance you could pop a De-esser on the audio after recording this reporter? pleaSe and thankS.... Keep up the good reporting :) ,{}( __._.__> ){}-;
@Bud Black They are moving towards a coal free energy system, and building up solar infrastructure at an insane rate. The one who is not keeping up with times is the US of A, who recently altered their school textbooks and remove climate change from the syllabus.
Human history is a long list of things that couldn't be done and then were done. The challenge this century, is to convert a lifestyle created in the previous century to one that will still be around in the next century.
Look, we need to gather all our refuse and send it to the greatest incinerator there is,,,the Sun! Shoot the trash into the Sun! it would be like throwing a pebble at a mountain.
TheVelluch I've been all over the world and seen it with my own eyes. most rivers in Asia especially china and India are literally rivers of trash pumping garbage into the ocean. Where in California, oregon, Washington or Alaska do you see rivers of trash? answer is nowhere. this garbage comes a lot from central America too but mostly Asia. look at all the clips of trashed beaches and rivers just on this video. where are they? who do you see? these people have no concept of litter.
I have been all over the world too my friend. My inlaws are actually from Vietnam and you are correct that they have problems due to those countries having virtually no regulations involving waste removal. I live in a beach community and volunteer with beach cleanups. North America has contributed to the Great plastic trash patch also. We do a better job of "hiding" our trash here. When the trash is picked up it doesn't just miraculously disappear. It goes to landfills where through different mechanisms ends up in rivers and oceans, through residential waste of flushing small plastic down toilets, and through trash left on beaches by daily visitors. We contribute more than 1%. My wife actually works for a local water reclamation plant and the amount of flushed plastic that they scoop out of the water on a daily basic is staggering. There is however a large amount that isn't captured by their system and goes straight down storm drains into the ocean. You are very correct in bringing up that Asia is a huge contributor. They are a booming industrialized continent and they don't have the regulations that we have here. That is a big problem.
What a wonderful human being ! She finished her interview at war-zone in Middle East , and now she is doing interview for environmental issue. What a lady!
I moved to the Mainland from Oahu about seven years ago, then two years ago I came back and the difference in those years in the presence of washed up plastic garbage was astounding. Beaches I grew up on and rarely ever saw washed up garbage at had so much garbage you could see the tidelines at different points in the day because they were defined by millions of tiny bits of plastic. Honestly, for such a drastic change to happen in so short a time frightens me, and I'm certain it is going to continue to get exponentially worse as it has in the past decade.
Over 80% of the plastic comes from Asia. A more effective solution is to radically step up recycling in places like Pakistan, India, Indonesia, Bangladesh etc. that just simply dump loads into the ocean and rivers that eventually make their way to the ocean. If you pause at 5:59, I might be mistaken but take a look at the water east of India. The orange dots indicate a much higher density rate and that is where we need to focus. We need this along side the collection of it.
Plenty of people are saying to do away with plastic entirely. Were we all completely lost and hopeless until the 1950s when miraculous plastic sparked civilization and a renaissance of human potential? No, I'm pretty sure we got by fine before then using much safer, cleaner materials.
James Rae I made this comment because one of the women in this video said something about how implausible she thinks it is to entirely eradicate plastics. It’s feasible, for sure, but humans are so used to convenience that I’m not sure it’s plausible. The majority of people don’t don’t to put the work in or be “inconvenienced,” you know? That’s what this whole thing boils down to is convenience. Plastic is easy. Recycling and/or using sustainable products like glass or ceramics is a perceived burden because it requires time and is “tedious” (because you have to wash them.)
that make sense,and plastic is actually better than some alternatives provided we're useing what we already have as aposed to creating more.For an example it has a melting point thats in the hundreds and not thousands unlike metal, no trees have to die unlike wood,and papper also has a bigger carbon foot print.
Adork Able I dis agree, mettle products maybe mor expenciv to produce but wen you get past that all you have to do is wash and reuse, with single use plastics like straws and packaging you can't, you use them one's and then throw them away and then they end up in land fills or the ocean.
Glass takes a lot of energy to produce and recycle. Glass melts at 1400c compare to plastics that melt at 225c. Single use glass products are a huge waste of energy
We could reduce our plastics consumption by a lot just by changing our shopping habits and introducing new packaging for products that have short shelf life.
How long until someone creates a 3d printer that uses generic plastic? Imagine someday bags of garbage are worth money for fuel. Imagine picking up garbage to save money powering your home, car etc
Good reporting. Great initiative by Boyan Slat. He sums it up well. " the challenge in this century is to take a life style created in the previous century and convert it into one that will still be around in the next century". 👍
In Korea, I lived in a building where everything had to be recycled and you had to "buy" a special garbage bag from the store. The only thing I put in the garbage bag was used tissue / paper towel, cig butts, dirt / dust. It would take me months to fill up 1 bag.
NEW NORM TRUMP just because you recycle doesn't mean you're doing good, recycling is a deception. most things in recycling centers are thrown in the landfill or are somehow getting into oceans
Why don’t we just make the value of discarded plastic expensive so people will keep it instead of throwing it. Just a thought. Maybe fishermen will be interested as an example.
More than you know friend, more than you know... Your Urine is recycled and back into faucet water within an hour or so with all the estimations. Beer, Soda, Powerade? "Recycled" Water. Alcohol? "Food Processing Plants"
Here on the coast of British Columbia Canada we carry bags to pickup plastics along the shoreline, we have seen a sharp increase in plastic on the beaches here....
When I was in Cubs & scouts as a kid we did a clean up on our hometown beaches, brighton England & we found loads of plastic etc. That was in the late 70's !!
the issue is most of us use plastic bags for throwing out our organic waste, it keeps our waste confined to some level, but there are still leaks. I was put on a pilot to test a new product, Bagez a garbage bag holder. it allows me to secure any size garbage bag in my garbage bins. garbage bags are a better thicker plastic, and if used according to what your local waste facility can sort and separate, it will help in recapture of material to wards new products rather than end up in landfills. with Bagez i have been able to use just 1 bag to hold our family waste, and add more if needed. i buy my own bags and even use it when i'm outdoors. great product, helps reduce plastics are ending up in the dump, and i don't have to worry about dirty bins.
A lot of that stuff isn't just consciously discarded; some of it gets washed out to sea during storms or tsunamis and humans can't help it. Doesn't matter how it gets there.....we still have to get that stuff cleaned up. God bless these people for working to make this problem better.
I think a big problem is that most people think someone else is doing this. Boyan is amazing. He just went and made it happen. More attention needs to be brought to this. When I left grade school an ecology program was introduced called Wally The Whale. I just missed it (early 70s) but something stuck because I recycle and never litter. I guess Wally didn't make it though :(
I went to Palawan a few years ago, a place that boasts the most spectacular shores and coral reefs, and found it littered with plastic. We were told that people of Palawan take time to clean up shores and pick up plastic that come adrift, but the garbage comes in such an over whelming pace that they can't keep up. Most of the garbage comes from Malaysia and China. You can tell because of the language on the garbage. It's really depressing that you can do your best to keep your home clean but people from other countries are the one messing it up in the first place.
Boyan is a truly fantastic individual. A shining example that 1 determined person can indeed make a huge difference and change the whole planet for the better. That being said, he needs help. We all must do our part or we'll be left with a plastic soup that suffocates us. Great video btw Vice!!
We have kicked the door in to Idiocracy, and this is just one of the many many issues. Next step is massive human population reduction. The biosphere dies, so do we.
Vincent Tomassi Totally agree. I've been hammered in comments for saying the same but it's true. We're approaching the point where the human population is becoming unsustainable. Human population numbers need to come down significantly. The problem is the only ways I can see it being reduced enough is either a global pandemic or massive global conflict. The sheer volume of people is killing the planet.
Funky Monkey1886. Indeed. It's going to happen whether we want it to or not. The elites/corporations/governments have no intention of stopping what they are doing. If people do not realize the shape the planet is in, they haven't been paying attention. But that's what it's about. Mass distraction while the planet implodes.
Sometimes I hate being a human being. We treat each other like we don't matter but worst of all, we treat the planet and animals like they don't matter.
Its not Earth. The Earth will be fine. Its the trillions of other species and inhabitants on this planet which are suffering tremendously because of humans. The day the Earth gave humans life, is the day all other species were doomed. Humans are the most destructive and evil species to ever walk the Earth.
VICE has worded this in the wrong way, repeatedly, so I think I should point out. The Pacific Gyre, and the other gyres are NOT the garbage patches. They are the natural spinning of the ocean that have been going on as long as the ocean has existed. The garbage is within the center of the gyres because the natural spinning concentrates the trash.
Boyan's one of the grerat example to the people especially to the teenagers right now to escpecially take good care of the environment. kudos to you Mr. Boyan
This is the biggest problem of our time. That's why here at Airthologie we have developed one of the first consumer products that uses no plastics at all.
Efficiency gains and biotech will eventually make the plastic industry obsolete. Decreasing consumption and sharing awareness of the cleaning of the ocean is the most effective way to accelerate the inevitable result.
We cleaned 20 jumbo bags of trash off the beach yesterday here in Mexico by hiring locals, the other 6 days a week we get 2 bags, these are 90 percent flattened bottles... So it's a lot! Surf the beach clean the beach
Cleaning the oceans is a great idea, but you'd have to be able to not interfere with local natural populations, of these nets wipe out the life in certain areas then it would cause the same problem as the plastic. Hope that ain't an issue though.

Human history is a long list of things that couldn't be done and then were done. The challenge this century, is to convert a lifestyle created in the previous century to one that will still be around in the next century.
Very true!
amen to that
We need to take more care of this planet. Or else it's going to come back to bite us in the ass eventually.
Matt Kid the downfall has already started
eventually?
you mean like now? and stuff?
Look, we need to gather all our refuse and send it to the greatest incinerator there is,,,the Sun! Shoot the trash into the Sun! it would be like throwing a pebble at a mountain.
SpaceX should be developing space garbage trucks, with a payload to the Sun! IMO.
Scott Pruitt’s EPA be like “plastic in the ocean will feed the fish and make them more abundant!”
where did you find that statistic? I have seen estimates of 60% come from the continent of Asia. I cant imagine that one 1% comes from North America.
TheVelluch 1% at most comes from U.S.
Like I asked, what credible source are you getting that information. I would like to see the data.
TheVelluch I've been all over the world and seen it with my own eyes. most rivers in Asia especially china and India are literally rivers of trash pumping garbage into the ocean. Where in California, oregon, Washington or Alaska do you see rivers of trash? answer is nowhere. this garbage comes a lot from central America too but mostly Asia. look at all the clips of trashed beaches and rivers just on this video. where are they? who do you see? these people have no concept of litter.

We need to switch to bio-degradable alternatives or outright ban plastic.
This is so heartbreaking 💔
She's so pretty
Does it matter?
She's also a very intelligent person trying to change the world
@Earumamaadu yes, is called a compliment
Bruh she isn't trying to change the world she is just reporting a story.
You're talking about our planet, right?

no one is saying to do away with plastic entirely, just do away with what is unnecessary/not vital for life.

k a y l e e well and push for innovations that can reverse the effects. The key is getting developing countries like China on board.
THANK YOU for those who helping this earth! 🙏
watched this cause i saw Isobel at thumbnail!
Syazi3 Izy is life!!
Nice Vice. Thank you for showing this problem of ecology in Earth.
Very informative. Thanks VICE News for your work on creating & posting great information!!
this is why we need to go back to glass for food products
Glass takes a lot of energy to produce and recycle. Glass melts at 1400c compare to plastics that melt at 225c. Single use glass products are a huge waste of energy
Sand shortage*
Glass is worse than plastic it is barely recyclable
I have a feeling someday plastic will have value.. hopefully its before it ruins everything.
We could reduce our plastics consumption by a lot just by changing our shopping habits and introducing new packaging for products that have short shelf life.
How long until someone creates a 3d printer that uses generic plastic? Imagine someday bags of garbage are worth money for fuel. Imagine picking up garbage to save money powering your home, car etc

Fr. Composting and recycling everything could eliminate a lot of trash. Trash should be in a landfill, not burned or in the ocean
I'm a simple man. I see Isobel Yeung hosting another video, I watch it.
I'm glad that I donated to his feasibility study years ago.

STFU WEEBOO
Thank God for these people!!!
Just make the creation of new plastic illegal worldwide to force everyone to recycle/develop new materials that don't cause such issues 🤷🏿♂️
We have created our own demise for this planet from the 19th century to now.
This should be a wake-up call for all of humanity, instead it falls on deaf ears.What a shame.
What are those things at 12:34? Rolling speakers?
bless this boy.
I'm binge watching Isobel Yeung videos 😅
Absolutely amazing this guy is a genius 🤗🤗🤗
Now this is good journalism
I really look forward to the day where we start mining our own landfills and slowly get rid of them entirely.
Shane Smith, Jake Hanrahan, and Isobel Yeong are why I watch VICE.
VICE has worded this in the wrong way, repeatedly, so I think I should point out. The Pacific Gyre, and the other gyres are NOT the garbage patches. They are the natural spinning of the ocean that have been going on as long as the ocean has existed. The garbage is within the center of the gyres because the natural spinning concentrates the trash.
RUclips!!! This should be on everyone’s recommendations!!!
This is really cool that he is trying to get rid of the plastic
Wow Vice...a real honest to god story...it's been so long
Where’s the accountability.
he is such a genius i would have never thought of this
Boyan's one of the grerat example to the people especially to the teenagers right now to escpecially take good care of the environment. kudos to you Mr. Boyan
This is the biggest problem of our time. That's why here at Airthologie we have developed one of the first consumer products that uses no plastics at all.
Geeeeez this seems like a huge logistical challenge. My first question is just shipping channels and how they organize and negotiate that.
Im here for my girl Isabel👍😌
What about shipping routes?
That’s pretty cool 👍🏼
So inspiring
lol, strip mining the land fills would be a great economic gold mine.
Really appreciate 🙏for the coverage of wastage of plastic.....isobel vice news...
6:33 I wouldn't be able to concentrate with such a gorgeous specimen starring at me like that
Also things should be covered about dharavi recycling everything from clothes to leather to metal scraps to plastic. Vice should cover that
Will this clean up operation also going to clean up the sea life in the targeted area?
What about navigation? Aren t boats going to get stuck in the barrier? Or do they have to navigate around it?
Henderson island in Pacific Ocean is also in critical condition........ 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
this will take hundreds of years to fix.
no problem.
that will create jobs for generations to come.
"of plastic" not "from plastic"
I wish CNN can cover these type of stories instead of the junk stories they are obsessed with
The real life Tintin... Her journalism is incredible to watch
Efficiency gains and biotech will eventually make the plastic industry obsolete. Decreasing consumption and sharing awareness of the cleaning of the ocean is the most effective way to accelerate the inevitable result.
I'd rather see this than stuff like how many times Trump says "baby" or "that's easy"
Have you seen Trumps discovery of the biggest number yet?! Buahahahah
We cleaned 20 jumbo bags of trash off the beach yesterday here in Mexico by hiring locals, the other 6 days a week we get 2 bags, these are 90 percent flattened bottles... So it's a lot!
Surf the beach clean the beach
god shes hot.
naah
lold
I was thinking the same of Boyan.
What is her name????🤔
just like earth is becoming.
Cleaning the oceans is a great idea, but you'd have to be able to not interfere with local natural populations, of these nets wipe out the life in certain areas then it would cause the same problem as the plastic. Hope that ain't an issue though.
They aren't building nets, just a few floaties that trap the plastic right on the surface.
That will be destroyed in a few weeks, and they are testing rebranded floating oil booms.
Isobel is gorgeous.
All the reports with this girl are really cool and interesting, none of that first world problem garbage.
