The fact that it takes everyday citizens forming nonprofits are the ones getting this done when all the world’s governments just sit back and watch the world burn. Proud of you guys!
You’re actually kind of wrong in a way. In Sweden, our parliament just banned one-use forks,spoons and knives and have made it illegal and fineable to spit out chewing gum outside
@@elexx1568 *in the EU, not just sweden.
Except the bubblegum part but that's pretty nice too
They'll have to do something eventually if we're to get this done. The video kind of understates the scale of the problem and gives the impression that this non-profit is going to make more than a dent.
@@elexx1568 I don't think that banning new trash is the same as actually removing already thrown one from the nature.
It's illegal to sell plastic bags here in Denmark, cloth and paper is fine.
Just to remind everyone, this is not even CLOSE to enough, there are billions of kilograms in the GPGP
This should NOT have to be done by non profits, it's should be done on a massive scale by all world governments
We need to stop pollution at the source
- A large amount is from developing areas with poor waste management
- Also shipping companies dropping entire containers and not being held accountable due to international waters is a source
If we addressed both of these problems with stronger international shipping accountability laws and just by assisting developing areas out of poverty so they can afford the waste management systems we take for granted while we reduce the cost of entry to waste management systems with new concepts and ideas, we would solve the problem by pushing ocean pollution into the net negatives.
It's a start, which is better than continuing to do nothing.
@@mikes5637 right but my point is, don't be overly impressed by this because while yes, it is a start, it's nowhere near enough, and we're currently Waaaaaay past the point where just starting is forgivable
Essentially what your saying is be impressed with someone who cramms the night before an exam because, hey at least its something.
Except its not an exam, its the literal fate of all life on earth
@@namanish450 absolutley agree 100%,
Furthermore, developed countries like America, and EU countries need to begin to invest in the climate infrastructure of 3rd world countries with poor climate infrastructure like Indonesia, which will continue to be the worst affeected
@@thatlonelygiraffeinc.6989 Starting is forgivable?? What? This doesn't make any sense. We're impressed by this because he's actually is doing something. He's putting it into action versus for decades nobody did anything. You understand this right?? There's nothing to forgive. He's not responsible for the plastic in the ocean, but he still choose to take action. His execution is what is impressive. What's not impressive is all you keyboard critics dismissing this effort as "not enough" while doing nothing about it.
It's important for people to know that what they are doing is by no means a final solution. This could struggle to continue gathering finding. And even if they do remove the garbage patch, it will reform eventually. We can't just rely on these people, we all need to prevent pollution
I’m a scuba diver with 37 years under my belt and thousands of hours under water. This is a good thing big time .
I remember when that CEO invented this as a teenager, glad to see its actually rolling out into the real world! guy deserves our admiration for actually DOING something.
I remember seeing him as well, years ago. I agree with you. Great to see progress.
People should respect Mother Nature. Stop nature abuse immediately otherwise your family after next five generations will not survive. Stop one time plastic packaging immediately. And stop producing dangerous chemicals which flowing into rivers and oceans and finally into your sea food. Carbon dioxide, plastic and chemicals are satanic.
@@yogeshgoel6268 there is nothing wrong with the way plastic is used, it’s the fact that it’s not disposed of properly
Everything is covered in plastic. Billions of items sold daily. Lots of chems go into making this. And nobody recycle it and again chems will be used. One time plastic packaging should be replaced or banned immediately.
@@yogeshgoel6268 agreed, but it is physically impossible for us to do that kind of jump, ebenW has a good point, nothing is wrong with how we used plastic, just how much we use that plastic and what happens to that plastic, it takes time for us to slowly get used to non-plastic.
I hope this event BECOMES a world wide holiday wherein each country will cooperate in cleaning our own WASTE. PLEASE make it happen
This company should firstly stop trash dumping which is coming from earth side cities,and villages etc.
Yeah, I don't see the CCP signing up on this.
isn't that earth day?
@@asfire0756 there is another company (forgot what they are called) that is stopping trash in the rivers from going into the ocean (btw, around 90% of the trash in the ocean is coming from rivers).
@DON'T I read it >.
I think everyone needs to respect our planet. I always recycle and try not to use single serve plastics. So grateful for thses videos to get the word out to clean up after yourself and re use what we already have.
Great! Metal containers and Aluminium cans are even better as they are indefinetely recyclable compared to reusable plastic which usually can't be recycled beyond 2 or 3 times.
I would love to be part of a movement like this. It’s amazing to see progress.
This whole project was there years ago but he struggled to find sponsors 😥 it’s really great that it’s finally happening but it could have been way way earlier 🥲
I was thinking the same thing. I remember seeing this like 10-11 years ago. System 3 is going to be brilliant! Kudos to this guy! Now everyone should get Renewable energy to top off all of this awesomeness!!
At least we got it. Hope it inspires others now
You're absolutely right! It is great that it's happening now!
Mrbeast and Mark Rober are also doing something which is nice
@@ynnalyl6195 there are more content creators *involved
I actually can't believe we are so late to start doing this. This doesn't look like a rocket science to me, but sometimes taking initiatives is way more important than the technology you use. 👏
We live in a society where money is the top priority/motivator. It takes someone not built into the normal mold to want to make a change and have the ability to enact it.
Tell this to the India and 3rd world countries that throw their garbage out in a rivers and oceans
@@makiisbro they will understand the gravity of their delusion soon
@@johngoldsworthy7135 don't think so

What have you done to help? I bet everything you buy, and consume comes inside a plastic container, and you make no efforts to help clean up plastic waste. Nor are you aware that the US and msot western nations export their "recycling" to India, where an insane amount is left inland in huge piles and gets blown off the land into the oceans anyway.
What have *you* done to change this?
I can't express how happy i am that there's people alive like this team. There might be a future for our exceptional planet with more incentives like this
I love your optimism but I'm afraid this is only 0.0001% (approx) of what needs to happen before our planet is clean again.
@@venezzrok-fz1du then we just need 10k teams like this, we're 7 billions on the planet, we should be able to do it
Everytime I hear of these Ocean clean up guys, I am reminded of Mr Trash Wheel in Baltimore, who cleans up ten times as much as they do at a fraction of the resources expended.
This org deserves an international award. Seeing someone so passionate for cleanup is heartwarming.
We need a international prize with the prestige of a Nobel, for contributions to improving and protecting the environment.
All counties should pay for this
They still have lots of problems with their technology though

I like that are actually DOING something about a problem, rather than merely posting their distaste for it in social media. Young people pay heed: Problems are solved by DOERS not COMPLAINERS.
Exactly! I see a lot of comments saying this is a waste of resources and time. But at least they are coming up with a solution and doing something about it.
So many people argue about global warming and climate this or that, but EVERYONE should be able to agree this effort makes sense and is worth the effort. Bravo folks.
Sure this makes sense. This is about cleaning up an existing mess. The climate change/ green energy crowd is about preventing further mess to be created. In the long run preventing extra mess from being released is more productive approach.
@@vierwerfvierwerf2470 It's not more productive. It's equally productive. Preventing new garbage from entering a full garbage can doesn't really matter if the garbage can is still full.
@@vierwerfvierwerf2470 But does it have to look like one of those birth control things.
Now why isn’t this on the news, this is really huge! I want my kids to be able to live on this earth, I want there kids to live on this earth. We need to stop thinking about ourselves and think about future generations who will suffer for other ppl stubbornness! I’m glad I saw this today, we still have time to clean nature‼️
Tbh the news only wants to make more money on things that they think people would view like politics,crime and they probably don’t think climate change and trash in the ocean is as important as politics 🤦🏻♀️
Maybe it's not on the news in the USA but it is all over the world.

It's crazy to think about how much waste gets out there. I don't think i have ever thrown a piece of trash on the ground or where its not supposed to go and still there is that much trash floating around the ocean from maybe a person or two every day throwing something out on the ground in public.

I could not like this more! Finally some good news about the huge pile of floating garbage that is largely composed of cast-off nets from commercial fishing. I wish there were U.S. Flagged Ships involved in this effort, considering the location of this trash. We get so much bad news these days, it's nice to see something working on the Pacific garbage patch. $199.00 sunglasses are out of reach for me, but a great idea also to promote products made from this trash. Thank you, for sharing a problem that is partnered with a solution.
U.S can't afford ships to help
All their naval buget was spent os warships to play battleship and wargames.
@@VJK102 Those are fishing vessels they're using, not Navy ships. They're privately owned. Good try politicizing and trying to sow division for an organization we should all be supporting.
If anything I would be surprised to see any US involvment in things like these, as the number 2 polluter in the world and the source for most of the waste now removed it quite clearly don't care.
Yeah that is kinda jokes that Canada gotta clean up the mess in the USA. Not saying that garbage isn’t from Canada just saying it’s funny the US wouldn’t help with the plastic so close to Hawaii
So....why can't we work on pushing for legislation that will stop plastic production for certain products. If we just keep cleaning it up, it will continue to find its way into the waterways and our bodies. We need to stop using plastic for much of our production if we really want to see a change. But people have gotten too comfortable with the ease of their lives to want that. And using the plastic to make something that will end up on a landfill is not a perfect fix, but I guess it's better than having it in the ocean....🤷♀️

Thats a big misconception most people have, not completely their fault, as it is portrayed that way.

This is Amazing:) Big Up for all the members of Ocean Cleanup
I’m thrilled that someone is actually tackling the Pacific Ocean garbage dump. Unfortunately there is more than one.
I am not 100% sure but I believe that each ocean contains at least one huge dump in their areas.
Like I said, the Atlantic Ocean has one in the northern sections and one in the southern portion .
These dumps are formed by the currents that in total form a type of circle. You can have one current going north along the coast, that one generally dumps its collections into an eastern flowing going eastward until it hooks up with a southern flowing current. This then picks up deposits that the north and east currents have caught in their currents and finally the southern dumps almost every thing that it has collected into the western current. This goes on an on until all of the things that were gathered and these keep going in a” circle “ and eventually into a type of centralized location. Think of the currents as a spiral, each pass getting all of its contents into the middle.
As I stated earlier. I believe that all of the oceans have at least one dump in their confines.
The business of cleaning up everyone's junk is simply genius.

@@tylercheek8888 your not entirely wrong, but there still are some good people in the world that don't want millions of ocean species to go extinct. The fish is important for many communities and countries, and it would be very bad if they disappeared, but it's not the only reason.

@@user-jc8zm6ef8p People are forgetting how big all the oceans are. harvesting like a 500km x 500km area is literally nothing. You can get awesome pictures with SHITtons of trash harvested , but it's literally "a drop in the ocean." what they have harvested.
@@juhaniu6371 you need to start somewhere!
I think the sheer volume of trash in the ocean is an excellent testament to exactly what humans are capable of
@@juhaniu6371 a drop is better than nothing at this point . Any type of garbage cleanup is what we need, even if it moves us 1% at a time
We’re finally doing something about this… I thought I’d never see the day and honestly I’m a little emotional to see a REAL solution! This is awesome
I was just sad to see that the autonomous system 1 version didnt work out. They would be able to send so much more of these things if they didnt need to pay crew members and gas fee for the boats etc. Literally could send hundreds... hopefully some genius can improve on the idea of system 1 cause if they can it would revolutionize this system even more
U would think governments would pay for more of these
Microplastic is even bigger issue
But is smthing being done at least
Yeah, destroying the habitat of all the fish.
Except that it's not possible for this to be self-supporting while running 2 huge boats with lots of sailors. Get the drone ships working, and it will run.
This makes me so incredibly happy to see 😭 we need to be emphasizing amazing things like this more!!!
It’s corporate greenwashing. Fundamentally unserious.
@@silverXnoise ok buddy 👍
@@silverXnoise Its sad you think this way
@@avixs1543 Rationally?
@@avixs1543 Oh, look! I was wrong! They _did_ it! All the problems with plastics are *solved* and it’s all because _you believed_ in them and their DIESEL SAVIOR! Now all the dolphins and sea turtles are waving their flippers, not at all choking on plastic straws!
Is this better? Does this make you feel better?
Thank you, wonderful to see the cleanup is working. # HeroesAtSea.
Amazing, thanks soo much for anyone try to keep all oceans clean and pure.
I distinctly remember reports of scientists and researchers ridiculing the system and finding the faults on it rather than helping modify it to make it more successful. Boyan Slat has evolved from a kid with a dream into a modern day hero who has defied much of academia and chosen to make a difference.
Finding faults in it is helping to modify it, whether or not it's the fault-finders' intention
Don't read my profile.....

The fishing industry plays a big part in destroying the ocean
@@joemama6710 the demand for fish fuels the fishing industry. Before blaming the corporations for everybit of damage that occurs try look at why they are there in the first place and you will find that you the consumer are the reason they do what they do. Saving the environment starts from home.
Man I can't believe a non profit is doing the job of the whole world. Well done.
they make profit from making recycle plastic like glasses in video
@@itsme-sh7dh Sure they need the money for supporting more boats and equipements and making it more widespread. I get what you mean but its probably not *all* going in their pockets.
@@itsme-sh7dh they said in the video they don’t make money from those anymore, they were a proof of concept. They do not engage in manufacturing
@@itsme-sh7dh Im going to guess that the boats and crew cost more than they made on the glasses. But with big cooperate donors id bet some people over there are lining their pockets.
You know it's near to America why would we clean your garbage!
It's your testing, prototypes which you conducted for years helps you to give awsome output for your hard work... Bt iam feeling sad abt titan made by oceangate... They couldnt spend much time and much money for that titan design.. Which costed 5 lives on today.
You guys earned my respect broo.. For bringing this aswome thing after so much research and testing...
Thank God! There are people like you out there🎉
I am so happy that Boyan Slat finally gets the recognition he deserves and the money to realize his project. I remember reading about him and his Ocean clean up inventions years ago and thinking: "Thats genius". Sadly years passed, in which he couldn't realize the project, I think due to money. But now he's here, being on the front line fighting for the world!
My guess that he was hard at work and don't have enough time to, I don't know, go to the UN and yell at everyone there.
@@Theeight8b like the UN would help
This guy who invented this I've been following his stories for a while, from idea to reality, its really amazing to see how it all came into place. This man is a legend, instead of hoping and asking world leaders to fix problems he just fixed it himself. Much love and keep up the good work !
How about we ban Asian countries from using plastic because they're the ones dumping it in the ocean
@@finigan3520 I'm Asian, but I agree with you. Sometimes I believe global intervention is necessary to shame and finally stop my country and its neighbors regarding our use of single use plastic 😭
@@finigan3520 so how would you achieve that? give them funding to create a much more better garbage disposal system?
@@finigan3520 🙄
@@finigan3520 united states of america is the number 2 polluter in the world. it needs to be global not just asia for anything to happen,
A beautiful human being... Thank you❤
Keep up the great work guys. We love you for it. Outstanding citizens wanting to clean up the oceans. God bless you guys and your families.
This was super cool to watch how it’s done. So amazing to see this happening too😊
Great to see people who care about wildlife
fishy in the ocean won't get killed by plastic. Also could you show us how to make a mini indoor pond?
I hope humanity will find something better than plastic. I mean all that money big corporations have, cant they come up with something? Its 2021.
What’s up Paul!!!
I just hope all the recycled plastic doesn't wind up in the ocean again.
I have said for years that once big business realises they can monetise floating plastic the formerly problematic issue will miraculously become easy to solve. Factory ships could have it all sorted on return to port (perhaps even partially processed) to be sold at quayside for use in new products. Cudos to Ocean Cleanup for being a catalyst in this process.
Would be nice to not have to be able to make money from something just to fix an issue.
Except there is no way this is turning a profit. They are likely burning more money on gas than they could get on making recycled ugly looking glasses and that's before you factor in the cost of labor and the cost of the ships themselves.
@@TheRealAbrahamLincoln If this is not making a profit then this operation is not substanable, because in case of machinery breaking, paying peoples, and other factor to come in. They need to make a profit.
The the even greater problem of micro plastics will not be solved with these dredging activities though sadly.
@@ApsolonIt's a charity, they have money, by collecting donations, and not paying tax. Any product was to generate the shortfall in revenue required to make stage 2 as quoted in the film. They pulled 9 tons of plastic out, as little as 1-2 tons might be recyclable.. unless those sunnies cost about $5000 each, there's no profit. He even said that it was a finite exercise with 3000 runs required, and then once every few years after that.
If only newspapers would also communicate this type of news... this gives hope and reduces anxiety, and calmer people make better decisions for our community.
This activity is vital for the preservation of human health and the earth's eco system. Dare I say so important that governments around the world should be contributing to the cleanup? or would this life saving cleanup then be under funded? Anyway I am so glad that someone is taking responsibility for keeping the Earth habitable for human life. Thank-you Ocean Cleanup!
Boyan Slat and his ocean cleanup drive deserves a wider media coverage not just to inspire but to increase financial support for this noble cause to really succeed. 👏👏👏
elon needs to toss a small loan
That’s the problem, most CEOs of foreign companies don’t get media coverage.

Finally someone doing a massive positive progress in a matter that should be taken in consideration by all governments. This guy need support and workers. I wish all presidents can watch this video and support him financially to grow up his business and all thousands of people looking for jobs can have the opportunity to work with him. Well done and I wish you all the best for the future
Japan is prepared to dump BILLIONS of Gallons of Radioactive Waste Water into the Pacific Ocean. Perhaps Trillions. The plastics need to be taken out because the radioactive material will cling to the plastics, spreading it everywhere - nothing nice about what these governments are doing. Nothing at all.
This project is using a ton of petrol fuels to retrieve a very small percentage of ocean plastics. This project is designed to make you feel good about consuming, which is all the oligarch;s care about.
But hey, don't worry about this planet, keep consuming, we're going to clean the oceans and mine resources from outer space, says propagandist like Elon Musk. Unfortunately, psychopaths control our so called Democracy and write our policies.
The only thing you can do to help the planet is consume less. Period.

I remember hearing about these guys. Few years ago and how they were selling bracelets. I could never tell if they were actually doing something though glad that they are. Might donate
superb hearts up to you guys u done fabulous job
Respect that has been 100% earned. If I could, I'd even enter Boyan Slat into consideration for an international award for this.
Surely he could and should be nominated for the World conservation award or the Edison award?
Absolutely agree just a true legend.
@@Theturtleowl was thinking more like an streamy
He hasn’t done anything other than collect donations
But Greta is much more concerned!!!
This guy deserves the highest possible honours, a Nobel Prize or similar, for outstanding service to humanity
Not just to humanity, but to the life in the ocean!
Hey now let’s wait till he deploys it for real then we give him the awards
I remember first hearing about the garbage patch in cartoons, wild that it's taken so long, but amazed a nonprofit is working on this
Thank you to the people doing this!! That does not do it justice or these guys Justice in the slightest it's just all I can say in this article. I wish I was there and could help.
I’m really glad people are starting to clean up the ocean for real for real! Hopefully we can have a much cleaner future!! And I’m so excited (when I’m older) to help causes like this! I really want to change the world so it can be as beautiful as it one was before! (I don’t live near any oceans or waters, but I try and pick up as much trash as I can)
That’s really cool!
Keep it up
Keep dreaming your not going to change the world

@@370.y Dude, don't be like that. This project isn't going to singlehandedly fix the world. It's just going to alleviate some of the pollution in the ocean. We're allowed to celebrate this piece of good news
@@370.y the poles have gotten colder since the declaration of global warming. Oh yeah they had to change the name to climate change because people weren’t buying it.

Rather than the people that produce the pollution.. 🥴
This inspired me to not just collect trash on my daily walk, but see if there are volunteers that would want to schedule monthly town clean ups & come up with recycling ideas as a team BEFORE trash washes downstream.
What city are you from?
;)
Good luck
I rick myself am telling you do it people will for sure make meme out of you but remmeber the meme god rick himself has told you to do that :B
Good luck...!! I started collecting trash of all kind in my scuba and snorkeling trips, some told me I was nuts and that I would never end, so I told them to start helping or shut up... now same guys do the same thing I do and we finally start to see a change, 15 years later.... Greetings from Cancún, México.
People dont need to do much. An hour a week just walking around your local community can do a lot.
Back when I was in highschool, going back a few decades now, I would help my science professors who, like myself, are members of Wires, WWF, Greenpeace, Sea Sheppard, etc to clean up the waste and stop it getting into the lakes. I would also get with others and walk the foreshore cleaning up trash. Now, I do what I can to enforce environmentally sustainable policies and procedures where possible in the military environment.
@QuagmireFeels If you have any spare car batteries you know where to dispose them, correct?
Hats off to you guys.. thank U ♥️
Right on !
Would love an update, please....🙏🙂🇳🇿
Started paying attention to this project almost a decade ago.
It feels great to see it finally evolve into something larger!

Reminds me of SpaceX in some ways, I remember when I was younger hearing about all these plans Musk had for it and them seeming like pipe dreams and now they’re undeniably at the forefront of rocketry. Similar feel here, though better in a few ways considering how purely altruistic this cause is/has been from the outset.
