“This animated video shows our vision of a future in which the Great Pacific Garbage Patch - three times the size of France and containing up to 100,000,000 kilograms of plastic waste being removed from the Pacific ocean

With the help of the fundings of our partners and donations our goal is to reduce 90% of the ocean plastic by 2040.”

The Ocean Cleanup Project Removes Over 100,000kg Of Plastic From Great Pacific Garbage Patch

The Ocean Cleanup project has removed over 100-thousand kilograms (220-thousand pounds) of plastic from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP). The Dutch nonprofit organization behind the largest ocean cleanup project in history has reached a monumental milestone. The Ocean Cleanup announced on Twitter that they had removed more than 100-thousand kilograms of plastic from the gyre of trash in the central North Pacific Ocean known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

The Ocean Cleanup was started in 2013 by then 18-year-old Dutch-born inventor-entrepreneur Boyan Slat with a goal of using technology to clean up the world’s waterways. After testing multiple versions of their ocean cleaning technology in the North Sea, the group set their sights on the GPGP in 2018. Slat says that it took them years to collect the first 8-thousand kilograms of plastic, but in the last few weeks they’ve been collecting that amount every four days.

The milestone is important because The Ocean Cleanup estimates that 100-thousand kilograms represents about one-one thousandths (1/1000 or 0.1%) of the total amount of trash in the GPGP. They believe the newest version of their tech will be able to collect that amount every month and if they can get ten of their machines out there cleaning up the Pacific ocean, they’ll be removing that much every few days. Of course, the problem will never go away as long as people are careless with their garbage, but for the first time ever, someone is making a significant dent in the existing problem.

#dimitrivegas loves #theoceancleanup’s efforts to rid the world’s oceans of plastic. Now, they produced sunglasses made with the plastic they’ve taken out of the ocean, as a way to fund the continuation of the cleanup! Helping to clean the oceans has never looked this good.

I don’t normally photograph people. But when I do it’s for a great company on an amazing mission. It’s pretty cool to see how far the @theoceancleanup Project has come. I still remember seeing @BoyanSlat Ted talk about how he wanted to clean our oceans way Back in 2012. A lot of people probably thought he was crazy, maybe they still do. Fast forward to 2018, they launched the first Ocean Cleanup system, 001 aka Wilson right here out of San Francisco, California. I was fortunate enough to work with the drone team live streaming this very event. And later joined The Ocean Cleanup Project as an Ambassador, because this is a project that gets me excited, it’s a project and team worth backing and I cannot wait to see what they do next!

#Repost @get.waste.ed @download.ins --- Searching for the perfect wave, she found this instead. Indonesia's ocean pollution problem is out of control. The country produces more than 48 million pounds of plastic every day, and geography isn’t doing them any favors: Indonesia is made up of 17,000 islands and most trash processing facilities are on the mainland. This makes recycling crazy expensive and just not worth it to most people. This puts Indonesia second only to China in terms of ocean pollution! We must stop making, buying and using plastic!

I worked on boats in The Great Lakes, Ocean City, MD, Naples, FL and The Florida Keys for over a decade. Waterways, oceans and marine life are in major crisis right now. Check out how Boyan Slat and The Ocean Cleanup @theoceancleanup is tackling plastic in The Great Pacific Garbage Patch. These efforts provide hope and concrete action for the future of the planet.
