It is so terrific to see someone doing something, anything, positive for all of mankind. Keep up the great work! Hopefully more and more people will become aware of your efforts and support you.

The problem is that the trash crisis won't stop until humanity solves the problem of low-IQ re - tards who throw trash everywhere they go. And this is connected to certain cultures out there.
Kinda blows my mind that for just $1B we could build an interceptor for the each one of the 1000 most polluting rivers (which is the ocean cleanup's goal). It's such a tiny amount of money on a global scale, and yet it would basically stop new plastic from getting into the ocean. As the ocean cleanup's tech is further validated, I'd like to see the global community commit to making this a reality by the end of the 2020s.
such a tiny amount of money? are you out of your mind? its a billion dollars
Yeah it’s tiny by global scale, if everyone in the world donated a US penny a year for 12 years it would pay for it all. Or if everyone in the US paid 30 cents a year for 10 years it would be a billion dollars
@@c4fusion1 "everyone" including the children working for no money? how about the slave labor in africa? try again
@@pandabear123ization Read his second sentence. 30 cents per year for every US citizen is still tiny
I love seeing the Ocean Cleanup’s evolution! What they are doing is absolutely amazing and essential to the well-being of our marine life and ecosystems. Thank you for sharing this! 🙌🙌🙌

Great video, I am The Ocean Cleanup biggest fan. Came out of retirement here in the Philippines to help what I can. Sadly due to lack of local support my mission is in trouble. I gave it my all and did make a difference but no one noticed here and I'm getting burned out and feeling hopeless. I love seeing smaller barrier's being installed, hope there are many more to come.
thanks zo much of doing something, I just waint to let you know. I hope you can find the energy to keep going!!!
I know it might sound silly but remember you are doing your part with or without anyone (and with or without financial support) because it's the right thing to do and try to have fun doing it again. The journey is often never easy but I'm sure it'll pay off in a seen or unseen way someday.
@@anthonyreis3533 It has been a roller coaster ride. Many ups and downs, I do what I can with what I have. If I can hang on and keep going one day more support will come,,,thanks
@@boywonderdiscovery I am not a spring chicken anymore, 3 years away from 70. My energy goes in spurts now,,,hehe Thanks
That whole cleanup movement is honestly one of the things that make me re-ignite the joy to live. I looooove to see those kinds of things that clearly is the best thing for the planet & everyone. It's no ''it depends on how you see it & it can be good for some bad for others'' kind of stuff that we always get. It's ALL THE WAY perfectly good.
thanks to these celebrities and influencers for their support and bringing attention to this project. awesome to see progress on something that means so much to all of us
I love how they didn't just build a few thousands of vehicles, but found a way to make the biggest impact with fewer resources. Keep Earth beautiful. 😍
I love this guy and his company! What an incredible and caring person he is, out of all the people trying to clean our oceans, I believe he is the one who genuinely cares for our planet and is not in it for the money 😁 Thank you Boyan 🙏
Grateful to these folks for their efforts.
The is the smartest thing ever!!! I want to thank everyone that is a part of this!!!! 💞💞💞
Thanks to all people who are part of this! You are true heroes! Makes me happy and believe more, that humanity can change! Good job with the rivers although education in these areas about trash would be really important but meanwhile let's block the sources! I think it's a fabulous idea! Good job Boyan Slat! I admire your work!
one of the few companies, if not the only one, that i can fully support without having doubts about their ulterior motives. the ceo did several interviews with joe and it feels weird but reassuring seeing how someone just wants to do good
@@breakmeoffapiece8404 probably not him but bots can be really old but most of the time they are stolen hacked accounts which people turn into bots
Maldives is finally starting to recycle, all the schools collect grade 1 and 2 plastics now and everyone in the islands are collecting and to make this more fun, the group has announced that they would award people who collects more than this and that amount of bottles, this is gonna be fun
Thanks for keeping this project alive and covering this
Some of the most relevant work occuring in our time, and very little coverage of this. Thank you for your work and dedication.🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍
Finally, CNET puts focus on something important! Let's make the plastic producers responsible!
@Earth is dead bruh everything is wrapped in plastic, your logic isn't that good man
Its fantastic to see that something really good happens in these crazy times
Yes and I think we should all by and large start getting involved in it as well
I’m addition to what Ocean Cleanup is doing it would be nice to see companies responsible for the items ending up in the waterways take responsibility. Education is important to shutting off the tap of waste. It was hard to see in another video children dumping entire garbage cans of waste into a river. Infrastructure for proper disposal of trash needs to be looked at too. I am thinking of Guatemala for an example. Grateful Boyan and his teams are trying to do something! 🙏❤️👏
Thank you! To anyone helping keep this place a better place.
thank you so much for leading the way and showing us such an excellent style of efforts❤️
Thank you CNET for doing these updates and educating us on current and future technology/plans/goals!!
Thanks guys. This is the kind of news that the world needs. 😊🌎☀️
Thank you,God bless all of the people that are involved.
Gives me hope! Finally at least some money is spent not on military build-up, but on the environment. I'm very impressed with these young people taking on this great challenge that is well overdue for solving.
Excellent. No hard sell. No table-thumping criticisms of polluters. Just focus on collection from the water.
It is unbelievable that people don`t have respect for the nature, it is great what you are doing guys.
These are really positive developments. Thank you for sharing!
Man I'm so happy seeing this! Keep up the amazing work guys 👍
You all are great!! Thank you for what you do!!!!
This makes my heart smile. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Sudbury, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 ♥️
Every country should have one of this.
What a worthwhile endeavor and kudos to all of you directly involved.
These companies should be involved since they are the U.S largest manufacturer's of plastic
Exxon Mobil Corporation
Chevron Corporation
DuPont de Nemours Inc
Keep up the good work all involved, much love from Scotland
These should be mandatory in every UK river in large cities
Well done boys you’re doing a stellar job! The company’s that produces this stuff should be paying for your costs!get theses down to the Philippines and Caribbean
this man is a heroe and the persons that caught the project are heroes too. you are what Earth need to fix the mess we did.
It's a nice idea, except there are fish that will use it to spawn on, like the common eel that you find in our rivers and ponds, where the weed rafts have gone now, they are relying on flotsam and jetsam to spawn, and then there are the fish that will use Flotsam and jetsam to feed
Thank you for cleaning this planets oceans. This act carries forward a great healing energy for our mother earth, and therefore all of us. Cleaning up this planet is part of raising all of our vibration. These people should win a Nobel prize. Well done for leading the way for others to help clean up our home.
Great stuff! Well done to Coca-Cola for coming onboard and supporting this great initiative!
I'm sure there are *dozens* of other big companies too that could help out.
If each of them gave (say) 10 or 20 million dollars, that would lead to a *MASSIVE* fleet of interceptors!
And so Coca Cola SHOULD do! After all, i would say about 50% of the plastic waste floating out to sea is manufactured by them!... if not more
Yes and they should also pursue research to find solution...
Instead to try to fix the problem what can we do at the source to avoid this
50% might be high but Coca-Cola is the largest Ocean plastic polluter globally so I would say they are at least in double digits of all total ocean plastic. They really need to be sponsoring thousands of these vessels and stop producing more virgin plastic.
@@adamfarrell9369 You are most likely getting your information from Break Free From Plastic audit or at least from the coverage of it.
In their 2020 audit 346,494 pieces of plastic were collected. Of which 63% were branded.
Coca-Cola branded plastics were counted 13,834 times. Which is about 4%.
Not really double digits and not any where close to 50%.
You also have to consider who is doing the polluting. In the end it is consumers who are throwing away and buying single use plastics. Companies like Coca-Cola obviously play their role to and make a profit so they should pay for/ contribute cleanups like in the video, but I don't think it is helpful to exaggerate their guilt.
Ik 1/2000th doesn't sound like much of a dent but that's actually amazing, they literally just started and don't have that many of them up and running yet.
This just put a smile on my face and makes me so happy thank you ocean cleanup for your amazing work may God continue to bless you guys🙏💯❤🔥
This is the most satisfying video I have ever watched.
I would really love to see these incorporated into local port operations.
Only thing that worries me about that is that people will relax their hygiene and just throw trash overboard because “the boaty thingy will pick it up”.
@@purpurina5663 they are already doing it tho? Why you think there is plastic in ocean
@@purpurina5663 tell them it's using their tax money and they might stop
this is one of the things when you say something and start doing it.. Boyan Slat you Sir are amazing...
All top Auto, Textile & FMGE companies must sponsor Interceptors.
Keep up the work you guys, we're counting on you.
Keep it going!!!! Please don't ever stop this effort....
Keep up the great work 😇 you all have my love and respect 💚
Thrilled to see the great work. Well done 🎉🎉
I needed some good news thanks
you guys are WONDERFUL!
It’s insane how the ocean cleanup made it ! Awsome !
Keep up the awesome work!
I love that with all these people's help we can all live longer on our earth and not be worried about it exploding in 1,000,000 years
This is soo cool :D 🔱....they shud use it for the rivers in india :D
Such a feel-good initiative
Looks great. But the real question is what are they doing with all the plastic they pull out? The "recycle" centers we have have now are lackluster at best. It wont do any good if the plastic they pull out ends up back in the ocean.
It’s great that these are also creating jobs as they need to employ people to run the boats
It's like what people have been saying for decades this is an industry that is job growth personified. The technology will always be changing and the planet will always need help. Fossil fuels & it's products like plastic should be things of the past, but God forbid we go back to glass bottles. It would be too hard (kidding) to actually recycle those. Like we did for 50 years. Humans are stupid and lazy.
👍👌👏 Simply fantastic and unfortunately extremely necessary!
Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health to all involved people.
I remember glasss bottles, recycle drives and refunds for returning bottles. Glass is fully recyclable. Would it be better is coke moved back to glass?
They still do in some smaller countries/islands, not worth it here in US.
I'm pretty sure it's not even official in some places, haha. I think some local with a CO2/syrup setup cleans the bottles an refills and caps 'em.
Fantastic video - so clearly explaining what the Ocean Cleanup is doing - really hope to see some Japanese companies get on board ;) to sponsor cleanup vessels around the world where the plastic packages products are exported to - as long as plastic is impossible to escape as consumers we need organizations like this to show how dangerous and damaging these short-term focused decisions to continue using single-use plastics are to our common future
It is even better that companies come up with sustainable methods of packaging
Love your work.
Thank you so much.
YESSS while it should have been like this from the start this is amazing finally!!!!!
This is AWESOME. Keep up the good work.
This is fantastic!!
This makes me happy to see
We need to make this fleet larger than all the navy’s in the world combined
They are soo much more sleek!
I totally love this! We need them in the UK
GRACIAS!
Great video!
I love this!!!
Good work! 👍
Governments around the world should make large plastic producers, such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Nestle responsible for their waste. Governments should force them to donate a small percentage of their revenues to the ocean cleanup.
I disagree. The companies should do it themselves because it's the right thing to do. Sadly, your way may be more effective.
@@timothyball3144 Nestlé will literally steal water and thirst children in Africa for the profit margin, and you want them to just stop using plastics by themselves??
@willfos I Absolutely do want them to do it themselves. Will they? Absolutely not.
Wonderful!
Im so happy this group is making this happen, and I hope they make billions in profits, they will deserve every penny
they should add a third ship to the ocean clean up and have that ship at the retention point which would allow for continuous retrieval of trash; retention point would be open now and not closed. have a conveyor of some sort at the end tip of the retention point that would bring the collected trash to the deck of the third ship . yes, you're adding a third ship but you're also easing the stress on the retention tip as well as the whole net, and also you don't have to stop the operation to empty the retention tip anymore. you can just sail for sixty days without ever stopping. it would speed up the process.
Very, very, very nice!
Fantastic!
This makes me so happy to see. I sincerely hope we're not a few decades too late.
That mini interceptor is so awesome i want one
Nairobi river needs this
nothing but love
Awesome !!
Awesome💯🔥👍!
Thank you very much
Love this company.
Man who invented these machines should win a noble prize. I know that consists of series of annual awards given in the fields of physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, and peace but maybe it's time to consider adding environmental as well.
I guess Boyan Slat is indeed a candidate for a Nobel prize. His relentless commitment is admirable and now his work work (10+ years) is paying off.... Wow!
None of the tech was invented by Ocean CleanUp. Chain conveyor barges like the interceptor have been around for decades as a way to remove weeds from lakes and ponds. Even large scale collectors have been around for over a decade. Boston's " Mr Trash Wheel" was installed in 2008
The ocean clean up will never end never
@@timothyball3144 unless they place there nets a every creek every stream every river and every canal and dig up all the garbage dumps that are placed near water they will need a lot of money
Increasingly skeptical of super-ambitious *ocean* cleanup; Vox article had some valid opposition. maybe river cleanup has a chance
Merci !!! 🌊
Ik ben zo trots op iedereen die een deel van deze project spelt !!!!
The plastic recovered can easily be turned into clean diesel fuel by a simple distillation project. I hope these people are doing that instead of putting it in a land fill.
It's not a simple distillation project. It's a highly complex pyrolysis plant that is barely a net energy producer, and requires a large water supply to clean the feed stock of contamination, along with chances to produce highly toxic dioxins if done incorrectly.
@@jarred267 there’s more water than ever because of rising water levels and melting ice caps. Just use some of that.
This is just big petrol propaganda... This would never make great economic sense.
It's next to carbon capture technology.
This is a good step. Then we gotta stop putting plastic in rivers and find better ways to recycle it. Then we gotta figure out how to get rid of the plastic that's already deep in the ocean and embedding itself in our food chain.
Thank you for putting the interceptor 002 in malaysia.
I really appreciate your job,
I have seen your another vedio where, you are using two boats to collect garbage, you are saying in this vedio, you all are working for new machine to pick up garbage.
I have one suggestion.
You either use boat or manual.
You make circle entering towards inside using one end, another end will be free to cover the machine. Inside circles you open after machine cover the outer edges. Make circle around machine.
You can reduce the areas of circle for better functioning of machine to collect garbage.
Second suggestions is.
If you don't want to use machine.
Reduce the areas of circle by entering one end inside circle.
You put net from outside part of circle and collect garbage inside net .playing playing with circular circles you will know .
Third suggestions is
If you want to make barriers,
You can use chroched net of plastic bottles , make it like Garland.
It's cheaper and durable.
I really appreciate all your help to clean garbage from water.
Namh shivay.
I'm loving seeing Ocean Cleanup taking advantage of the recent coverage of their operation. They must be getting a lot more investment and interest than back in the pre-2019 era which is clearly letting them try out new ideas more frequently. Great to see!
More investment with no meaningful results. The ocean is more polluted than ever.
I bet it's on purpose, is a pr stunt. but non the less it is super great, love the work.
@@brianwgDK also a good way to pollute more. as someone is going to clean it up
