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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 !!
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....
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!!
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
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 :(
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 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.
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.
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"
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.
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.
It's a very small solution and at some point, his model becomes counter-profitable. This can't be resolved within a for-profit model. Think about all of the plastics (many toxic) that aren't in the waste stream -- they eventually will need to be disposed of and they will eventually make their way to a landfill, incinerator, or ocean. The majority of ocean plastics come from land. We need to do a lot more inland so his ocean venture and others like it are viable regardless of their business models, nonprofit or for-profit. No more trash trucks because they litter and that litter adds to the ocean patches. Mandatory recycling including rinsing, and we don't need weekly trash pick up for plastics and glass. Community-based waste ecosystems where stream segregation occurs locally.
Cool video. I visited Cuba this year and there was so much plastic and trash along the coast. Most of it covered in oil. That doesn’t even compare to other countries in the world. Is there really zero waste when using the chemical recycling method? Either way I’m sure it beats making new plastic. To be honest I don’t know jack about the recycling industries and economics behind it, but there’s big money in junk especially if it can be reused and 100% of the product gets recycled, but what, if any are the struggles of implementing a strategy like this. Downsides? Seems like a step forward, but no downsides are mentioned. Usually there’s something to be aware of.
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.
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.
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
The beach of bagdad Mexico border to Boca chica beach is dirty and full of plastic, glass and medical waste, is so wired how the south Padre island,TX that is really close to the bagdad beach is clean when the bagdad beach is so dirty.

Very true!
amen to that
I want my son to be like this boy here. Wow smart and im very proud of him.
Monse Tiempo No pressure
Isobel Yeung does an amazing job with these reports! Good work!
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.
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.
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.

Nice Vice. Thank you for showing this problem of ecology in Earth.
THANK YOU for those who helping this earth! 🙏
Excellent content. This is why I subscribed. Not for the other troll content you love to put out
Very informative. Thanks VICE News for your work on creating & posting great information!!
Clean beaches and oceans would be nice !
Let's hope his project will be successful and profitable.
watched this cause i saw Isobel at thumbnail!
Syazi3 Izy is life!!
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". 👍
I'm glad that I donated to his feasibility study years ago.

Fr. Composting and recycling everything could eliminate a lot of trash. Trash should be in a landfill, not burned or in the ocean
We need to switch to bio-degradable alternatives or outright ban plastic.
no one is saying to do away with plastic entirely, just do away with what is unnecessary/not vital for life.
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.

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.

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?
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.

That was so uplifting! Makes me want to join up and really make a difference!
I'm a simple man. I see Isobel Yeung hosting another video, I watch it.

I feel like I've seen this already..
yep they was video on vice about him.
i recycle 95% of what comes in and out of my house

now i know, my new moto is: Planet=Clean it. . . Plastics=Lean it;
It’s July of 2019. I hope we are doing this project
Thanks @Vice
Really appreciate 🙏for the coverage of wastage of plastic.....isobel vice news...
What about navigation? Aren t boats going to get stuck in the barrier? Or do they have to navigate around it?
3:39 I didn't know Sylvester Stallone's brother was a fisherman!
Wow Vice...a real honest to god story...it's been so long
he is such a genius i would have never thought of this
Also things should be covered about dharavi recycling everything from clothes to leather to metal scraps to plastic. Vice should cover that
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.
What about shipping routes?
This makes me hopeful for the future.
This is really cool that he is trying to get rid of the plastic
This should be a wake-up call for all of humanity, instead it falls on deaf ears.What a shame.
Geeeeez this seems like a huge logistical challenge. My first question is just shipping channels and how they organize and negotiate that.
bless this boy.
surround the island with some sort of secured net to filter out the garbage. it's just a thought
Will this clean up operation also going to clean up the sea life in the targeted area?
Thank God for these people!!!
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.
sometimes I think, if something catastrophic happens to humanity, we kind of deserve it. Maybe a few times over.
What about the fish and sea life that will get caught up in that plastic barrier? How do you separe the plastic from the animals?

I'm binge watching Isobel Yeung videos 😅
What are those things at 12:34? Rolling speakers?
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.
Shane Smith, Jake Hanrahan, and Isobel Yeong are why I watch VICE.
RUclips!!! This should be on everyone’s recommendations!!!
Our Dutch hero is here to the rescue Boyan Slat! The first cleanup system will be deployed in May 2018 let's go!
Absolutely amazing this guy is a genius 🤗🤗🤗
In indonesia in small coastal towns people just throw away their rubbish into the sea.
maybe when you go shopping next time you might wanna bring a backpack instead of buying a plastic bag. this little thing does so much
this will take hundreds of years to fix.
no problem.
that will create jobs for generations to come.
What about all the abandoned ships and planes in the ocean are they cleaning that as well ?
Earth-Chan forgive us !!
jmantime We’ve betrayed earth the day it gave us life.
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.
STFU WEEBOO
The situation the way the plastic discard is done, it is unfortunate :'(
Woah !! I never knew this was such a big problem!!
lol, strip mining the land fills would be a great economic gold mine.
it's 2020, any updates?
note to editor: it's ".....to rid the...oceans OF plastic..", not FROM
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!

Im here for my girl Isabel👍😌
I really hope vice stays the same with these amazing reports. I really hope it doesn't just turn into shit like network news
This makes me so sad for the poor animals
2021 but we're doing it now!
