Said it before … the soft drink manufacturers need to pay for clearing up their plastic mess. They should be sponsoring at least 10 interceptors each.
Coca Cola is a sponsor of The Ocean Cleanup now.
You guys are doing a stunning job. Your efforts will always be remembered when it comes to environmental responsibility. Keep playing it loud 📢
Definitely a defining chapter in Earth's history. We'll done, never stop.
Has anyone started using discarded plastic bottles filled with dirt, sand, or water as building materials.
Flexible, stackable, filled bottles would provide adobe-thick walls & get rid of waste in a productive way that also saves us from having to use up more resources to build housing. Like a straw bale home but the insulation and upkeep is lower.
I know it’s not perfect, but it’s a real way to use up the trash bottles, no?
Well done Ocean Clean Up; hope you involve many locals into this project!
@@Joe-sg9ll it's hard to judge when we have all the equipment and the logistic to manage most of our trash when they don't
@FlavienS57 yeah because they're animals.
They need unlimited funding! Great job to everyone involved!
Yes what they are doing at large scale doesn't come cheap.
No they don’t, and must never have. Unlimited funding will first of all lead to executive salaries rising to the tens of millions of dollars, thus contributing to a great steal. Fighting for resources will ensure maximum return in tons of plastic. I fully sympathize with your idealism, but we must never rule out human greed, which got us here in the first place.
This is the dumbest idea ever. Imagine giving the cleanup companies unlimited funding while not EDUCATING the local people to treat their waste correctly.....
I believe some people just donated 25 mill
@@Crabman_87My sentiments exactly, instead of trying to educate and remind people of their impact, it’s just another grift.
Looks nice, thanks for the update video. Would be great to see it in action when the next big wave comes.
It will work
Will we see it in a flash flood scenario similar to the first fence, too? Would be interesting to see the difference.
Nice to see that they included engineering that time.
This river is a mess, I hope the solution works and all that trash is succesfully captured. Thanks Ocean Cleanup.
Major project, Major step forward. The amount of plastics and trash in this river is nightmare material. Thank you, The Ocean Cleanup!!
Yes even worse than here on Camiguin Island, Philippines. Only the Pasig river in Manila comes close....But those made in the USA Worthington Boatbuster-20 debris barriers don't come cheap.
I'm eager to see the results of all the hard work. The only solution is to attack the problem at as many levels as possible.
But the most important of all is to actually do something about the problem and not just hold meetings and raise funds. Talk is cheap. Action speaks!
The first and main level is capitalism itself. A purely greed based system of wealth distribution that has become destroying the climate, resources, humanity overall, and life itself.
Capitalism must be outlawed internationally, or eventually we're all fooked.
they've been taking action for the past years...
everyone involved deserves honor and respect, good job guys
Thank you for all your efforts. I lived in Guatemala City for 10 years when I was a kid. Seeing the clean up just fills me with hope for the future there.
You ever going back?
These are some of my favorite RUclips videos, and they are never long or frequent enough! I wish yall the best of luck with all the projects!
This was one of the best, much longer and I still watched it several times....
Increíble este proyecto ❤🙌🙌🙌 muchas gracias al equipo de OC por tomarse el tiempo de venir a Guate y realizar este proyecto.
It’s a bandaid on a severed limb, but it’s a start and I appreciate very much the effort 💚🌎💦♻️
Bless you and all those involved in making this cleanup possible. Making the world a better cleaner and happier place. I'm sure ALL the wildlife in the area appreciate your efforts. THANK YOU!!! 🙏💗💖
I was so heart broken when we seen the first fence break last year..
It went from "WOW, LOOK HOW MUCH THEY STOPPED" to.. "OH DAMN, THAT IS GOING TO THE OCEAN RIGHT NOW"
cant give up right? keep trying.
A lot of dirty, hard work ahead to fix our carelessness. Good luck and stay safe
So cool! I love seeing the evolution of ideas through this process, not just in the interceptor barriers themselves, but also the growth of local infrastructure to process the captured plastic
It is not just the great work you guys are doing but allowing us to watch you go from proof of concepts, to real testing to redesign what does not work and tbh in pretty short windows as well. You guys do not accept "good enough" and when something does not work you double your effort to fix it ASAP. Your company is open, efficient and makes sure your systems are simple so others could use your designs in the future.
Yes this is one of the best debris barriers available, made by Worthington, Boatbuster-20 series, made in Ohio, USA for over a decade. Good choice.
Thank you for cleaning up earthlings original spaceship
thank you
Amazing work! ❤
Thank you. I pray you find a solution & humans quit polluting.
Another awesome work! You are really making a huge difference for cleaner oceans. I appreciate your hard works.
I think the trash fence was the video that got me to subscribe to this channel. Part 2 is here!
Seeing the excitement of everyone involved is fascinating!!
I love the effort you guys give to get Guatemala in a better situation… thank you so much 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
These guys are a part of an unbelievable team. TOC is awesome. Great vision. 🎉
Good luck! If it works, you'll have great video footage to spread awareness.
TRASH FENCE FOR LIFE
One of the most thrilling things is how you are supporting locals who have been struggling with the problem of plastic waste- your insights and know-how is giving them hope that it can be tackled and efficiently managed in some way, but wow we need the product package designers to be a part of this project and see the consequences of their plastic package choices to create a decrease in the tap as well- do you invite local government and manufacturers of plastic packaging to observe what you are doing? It's easy for them to say they don't know if they never see where their choices end up. Ideally, Videos like this will hopefully reach their phones and desks and TVs everyday until they make a change. In Japan, they say that none of the plastic bottles we collect in beach cleanups can be recycled, I would be interested to hear how the plastic you are sorting is used in Guatemala and other areas, thanks.
Why isn’t there a Nobel prize for the person who made a change for Mother Earth? ❤️🙏🏻
Thank you to the Ocean Cleanup for taking such good care of our planet. 🌎💙
Having g watched the original short documentary from the CEO of The Ocean Cleanup two year ago from Guatemala, it is great to see that the engineering took place a year ago. Sadly first project design failed, but the engineers learned from first design and redeveloped it nine months ago, so change looking positive. A huge task, but little by little. You will prevail. Feeling a little less sad after seeing devastation from two years ago. Keep going. Just need to educate public, enforce fly tipping and get community on board. Positive vibes. Good luck. The wildlife will be thankful and glad to see governmental departments of Guatemala finally on board, after ignoring it over the years. ❤
Saw the clip when Guillermo was jumping up for joy. It’s so nice to see people who care!
I would also give the barricade of the first try another thought. But then don’t fight the water-forces, make use out of it. You can see that the water is heavier than the plastic and wants to get down, by doing so the plastic is pushed up. Guid the plastic up and away / out from the river. Build the barrier with an angle of attack / diagonal, this way new plastic is pushing, propelled by the water-force, the old plastic out. Also you’re making space for more plastic to come and you take the stress out of your barrier. Just need to see where to get a plastic dump field, which can be filled up temporarily with all that incoming plastic.
Let me know what you think!!
Well I like your idea, just might work. If I had the money I would try it on one of my river trash Kabooms here in the Philippines.
The benefits of doing it themselves instead of waiting for the governments of the world
Indeed it’s awareness, education how the impact of plastic pollution is affecting the environment and their livelihood, next it is fund for equipment to clean and the rivers!
Amazing work everyone. Good job :)
Even though they had a "failure" last year. Still looks like they stopped A LOT of that trash.
It's just so insane at the extreme amount of trash that's in the water.
Upside to failure is that now they know how to better prepare for 2023 and we all wish Ocean Cleanup & Partners all the success ❤❤❤
“A lot”
A pathetic percentage compared to the output TBFH
Big respect to you all. You are amazing 😍 real heros of our time. I wish taxes get used for this ! I would pay my taxes with a smile in my face.
It would be great if all the people were educated to put their garbage in a trashcan. Trashcan gets picked up and disposed of properly. That would be an ideal solution. This solution by The Ocean Cleanup is a good to solution to a bad problem.
Unfortunately the trash from the landfills goes into the river in Guatemala 😞
i could watch trash being collected all day. Can we get some 24 hr cameras at all the sites? I bet it would increase your audience (and income) exponentially.
Oh so many have asked for the same, they have the budget to do so.
Gracias por limpiar esa pocilga de río.... La educación para con esa gente que lo tira TODO al río es fundamental
Great work guys
Keep on innovating
It would also be great to find out about what the cities and countries are doing to prevent the plastic getting into the river systems in t he first place
Amazing! Thank you so mucho for your efforts
Really looking forward to this test! Best of luck to you all!! You are appreciated not only by us but also by all future generations!
Thank God for you guys. You are so appreciated!
Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!! work you are doing for the planet
Kudos to everyone involved. Thank you for saving the planet, one interceptor at a time! Respect. ❤
Thank you OC. Your efforts are invaluable.
Merci d'exister car tous les critiqueurs négatifs ne proposent rien et ne font rien !! Tous ce qui est attrapé n'ira pas plus loin, et c'est déjà un énorme travail.
seen the first vid and to watch the improvement shows how serious you guys are... take my money
thank you for all the hard work
Great job everyone! This is so encouraging!
We start to donate monthly to Ocean Cleanup!. Thank you for this beautiful effort.
Awesome work. You might laugh, but this is exciting stuff. It's an enormous undertaking and it's great to see so many intelligent people invested in the solutions. I hope everyone feel my pat on their back! Great job!
You guys are unsung heroes
So inspiring 💚💚💚
This is just awesome! I have about a year at sea back around 99-00 and even back then I could stand along the bow as she was underway and count about one water bottle every 2-5 seconds floating by the ship no matter where in the world we were.
The Guatemala barrier is such an exciting one to tackle.
lovely to see some basic engineering principles included in the design..
Yes😂
Thank you.❤❤❤
Thank you for not giving up
Love this. Human ingenuity at work for the betterment of all. Inspiring. Thank you.
I can't wait to see the new system succeed!! Great job all of you!!
God bless each one of you, your efforts & this entire project!
Love you, guys. Thanks a lot once again for tackling humanity's issues, one step at a time 💪
Thank you Ocean Cleanup!
Al Sr. Carlos Cobos decirle que está muy bien el gran trabajo que realizan los de Ocean CleanUp pero ello no es la gran solución que dice necesitan allí. La mejor y única solución es la educación de la población para que no tiren ni una porquería más a ningún río en toda Guatemala y eso se puede extrapolar a todo el mundo. NO ES MÁS LIMPIO EL QUE MÁS LIMPIA, SI NO, EL QUE MENOS ENSUCIA!!! El Sr. Carlos Cobos sí que está en la posición de obligar a la gente de su país a que paren de tirar basura al río y a que se eduque a sus nuevas generaciones.
El trabajo de Ocean CleanUp increíble 🙌🏼 como siempre ❤😊
You give me hope❤ thank you ❤
Big win for everyone
This be a great job for military
I Love These Men ! Thank You ! 💖💞💜⭐️
thank you for doing everything you can to stop the plastic pollution. Humanity is such a disease.
Great going there guys - keep up with the good work Victories will come
My thoughts and prayers are with you on this one. It was devastating to watch the last one fail after all your hard work.
An amazingly committed and resourceful team in Guatamala as in all the Grest Ocesn up teams. Thank you from my hesrt.
Bravo Intercept.
keep it up we are cheering you on from all over the world!
Great work, never give up!
WELL DONE PLEASE KEEP GOING & NEVER STOP!!
Thank you for such team work examples, you people are the path heroes for all the children who can't help you-us yet.
I feel so blessed to have known how you people exist and for things of sensitive value.
Your efforts prove the years we loved,
each other somehow❤
Keep up the good work. We need more environmental startups like the ocean cleanup!
Muchas gracias por este proyecto! Gracias por no rendirse 🫶🏻
Great Job! ❤
God Bless!!
Thank you for all the hard work and smart people working on solving this river's problems I live in Honduras and it's sad to see trash in the beaches. These good works brings hope for the future of mankind.
Thank you!! Amazing design work and dedication.
Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!
This has been so exciting to anticipate and to finally see it now! Big improvements!
sad and amazing at the same time, keep up the good work
I so saddens me to see the state of some waterways. It is heartening to see people like you doing such great work to clean it up.
Everyone needs to see this!
Great stuff. Way to go Team Ocean Cleanup!
This is incredible how much damage we have done!
With you- there is hope!❤❤
Thanks so much for all your efforts! 🔥
Mother nature says thank you to each and every one of you…bravo!!👍👍👍👍
Im from Guatemala and I feel so sad to see how much trash is in the river, how this affects the ecosystem but Im happy that companies like the ocean clean up exists
thank you!!
❤❤❤Thank you
