I can't help to love Boyan Slat. I admire so much that he never gives up how many obstacles he may find in his way. You are a real hero to me. Keep courage!!
Nice to see these smaller Interceptors. That should allow local people to chase the issue up the river and make as much of the river clean, as possible.
I love that there are others in the world that care about our planet. I full-time rv, which in reality means I live out in the desert/forests. Every new place I arrive I pull out my bucket and picking tool and clean as much plastic as possible. I think everyday how we can minimize/eliminate all the trash I come across. I hope one day to help create a solution. On that note, education is key as well as laws that protect our environments. PEOPLE, PICK UP AFTER YOURSELVES!!!
East coast of the US used to have something similar to this concept ran by the DEP. Unfortunately it's ambition was short lived and fell to the back burner. I feel the ocean clean-up team could get a hell of alot more attention tending to the rivers in the NYC area and really attract much larger investors to scale up this even more.
more countries and governments need to get on board with this effort, this is truly a great solution. why leave it up to one team to solve this worldwide problem.
Unfortunately, it boils down to funding, and most places where this team is needed the governments do not have the funds to support the effort. Having living in "third world" for a time i can see why the problem exists and what would have to happen to make it stop and disappear. Unfortunately, that does not exist right now, and this Ocean team is doing a good thing by helping out. A good medicine.
This is incredibly impressive. This is the real transition from a breakthrough concept to an actual scalable solution. It's only one aspect of the problem but it's a massive undertaking and I think this group will rise to the challenge.
Your solid and sincere commitment to change in the maritime world has really added a great value to humanity. This will still be the biggest ocean cleanup project in history and am super excited in seeing a massive progress in all what you do. Kudos to you guys. You're the best. 👍👍👍
That's the perfect example of a growth mindset - when life throws you more problems, you rethink, adapt, and re-engineer your solutions! Amazing work from Boyan and The Ocean Cleanup team 👏
The world is far from a perfect place at the moment, but every time I think of The Ocean Cleanup it brings a smile to my face. I just love what you have achieved and the momentum you seem to maintain come rain or shine. You're truly an inspiration and an example to the whole world.
Can’t wait to see these in India as here the rivers hold a lot of religious significance too so although they are massively polluted and filled with toxic foam people still take a dip in them for performing various religious rituals and stuff so having these things will really save human lives from water borne diseases too
200thousand subscribers is not even close to enough, they should literally have a billion subs considering that unfortunately we’re all negatively contributing to this issue and as a result affecting everyone. So if you guys want to help but feel like you can’t do much, apart from donating which is one of the best way of helping, spread the word, talk about it with your friends, colleagues and so on. There are also organisations where they meet together and clean forests, beaches others where they manually plant trees and the list goes on and on. It’ll give you one of the best satisfactions you’ve ever felt in your life, seeing a clean beach after a clean up you were part of it is something indescribable. Not to mention the amazing opportunity it gives you to meet new people, I mean do I need to carry on?🤣🤣
I also follow the YT-channel of Ocean Conservation Namibia. They rescue over 600 seals a year, from entanglements by plastic pollution. It shows how severe and terrible all this pollution is for sea animals. It screams for a solution!!!
Even tough Ocean cleanup is world wide known, your youtube page needs more awareness. You should have millions of followers not only a couple of thousands. Please advertise this page more, because is worth it, to create more conservancy awareness to everyone, and on other hand show people that donate to your cause is really really worth it.
yes yes yes. i love this organisation. my dream is to contribute to the wellbeing of the earth after my study. this is exactly what motivated me even more.
The Ocean Cleanup team is doing a great job, hats off to you! It would be very helpful if you at least published/released two video per month so that, I, and others could circulate them thoughout our respective communities with the hopes of garnering support for your project.
The problem is the lack of waste management systems in these countries, the govts do have the money / don't care. Globally the UN should be looking into this as well as emissions.
My friend worked on a Chinese ship buying plastic from US about 15 yrs ago. The ship dumped all of it out at sea in our best fishing areas. The navy knew about.
This is great to hear that you are continuing to expand the clean up tools. I hope you are going slowly enough to make the projects you have now sustainable and not go to fast and have the original ones get in a state of disrepair or the partner companies that are collecting the trash from the interceptors quit or loose interest as you focus on the new stuff
We should ban plastic straws too. Wax paper straws (with a bend) can do the job of helping people with physical problems drink easily. So, if we have a sustainable solution that does not involve plastic, we should always pick that solution over plastic.
I've never been to Hawaii nor any other US state, but shouldn't the US, one of the wealthiest nations on earth, be able to establish a waste management infrastructure that makes these unnecessary?
Congrats Boyan and Team on successfully starting to push water uphill on Mount Everest ! Now , what about the other part of the problem ?? : Educating the 2nd & 3rd world people ( and Governments too ) to stop throwing the crap in the rivers , streams , & gully's in the first place ! I hope you have a Team member or 2 trying to come up with a realistic solution for that as well ? if anybody can solve it , I'm betting it's you guys ! :-)
It's less about knowledge and more about infrastructure. Poor countries don't have the funds and/or good politics to have bins and recycling places and things like that. I hope those problems receive a solution also.
What a great job you guys ate doing , how disgusting that the rivers are allowed to get into this state, someone must be accountable for this ... I fell appalled seeing this but what you do is unbelievable keep up the fantastic work 👏 🙌 👌
Add a public comment...No Words!! This man has achieved SO much already!! And STILL he has to try to find a way to clean up our F....D planet..................this could take some time..............
A suggestion: While cleaning the rivers and oceans, u can also collaborate with the local government of the towns that are situated alongside the rivers to fund proper public disposals such as a waste bin every few km on the roads.
Everything said before the word "but" is meaningless. No you don't know better. The solution is at both ends. In the time you educated enough people to make a significant difference on the pollution side the aquatic biome is destroyed already.
Great job everyone. Your making such a difference. I see a lot the problems for poorer countries are the government, I’ve worked in these countries the people are great. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Have you seen the guy with the UA-cam channel "Tropical Ocean Cleanup"? He's basically invented a cheaper version of the commercially available booms like the Interceptor Barriers, from old tyres and recycled plastic bottles. They are so cheap and made from those materials so that even third would communities should have access to and can afford to buy. You should definitely do a cooperation. He's doing great work on the Philippines! You can also learn a lot from his failures, e. g. I suppose your barriers will probably degrade pretty fast with the amount of UV rays in Asia.
I applaud your work! Even in this one short video, it is amazing how disgustingly polluted these rivers are. I cry for the planet. Hopefully your efforts can be scaled up to make a serious dent in this problem.
What you guys are doing is amazing. Unfortunately this is an "ambulance at the bottom of the cliff" solution. We need to reduce our reliance on plastics and educate people to be more responsible with their trash, sadly this is a much more difficult thing to do.
Why don't you have chemical detectors on them to see what toxic pollution you can't see or even grab goes through those river outlets. Mybe you can see on a river that has textile plants or some chemical plants see if there dumping or just not treating there stuff. Or you can find the chemical and pesticide runoff from farms and see how bad there really killing the wild life and do measure how much goes through not just detect it measure the amount going through. Thoughts on this getting implemented into the design 🤔.
~ 🔵Put the reeds and driftwoods back into the water at the interceptor site. (sift through the stuff)🔹Put in a small living quarter on the Interceptor for an introvert who would be taking out the reeds and driftwoods. 🔹 The shores need that debris to prevent erosion, especially along the banks.
I wish I could work for you! 10 years of experience in 10 different jobs because none of them is meaningful enough to me. The Ocean Cleanup is an amazing initiative but never gave me the chance to have a chat despite applying several times.
it seems like you just want to sell interceptors and keep the gap closed... go for the source, and that's where the garbage is before it ends up in said rivers
My concern will always be that this will not stop people from throwing their trash on the ground, where it will ultimately end up in the river. In fact, some people will see it as a reason to do exactly that. The thinking is that someone else will dispose of it, so it eliminates their concern for what happens to their trash. Its the same attitude that a certain ex US president showed when he dropped his umbrella while getting on a plane. "Eh. Someone else will take care if it."
So do you suggest that they stop using the interceptors? I don't think this will encourage anyone to throw trash in the river or on the ground because those people who find it okay were already doing it before they started cleaning the rivers with interceptors. This is probably going to be our best solution going forward for atleast the next 50-100 years until these heavly polluted areas have more infrastructure and high quality of living.
@Avx I'm not suggesting that at all. The interceptor is only part of the solution. Another part is the lack of disposal infrastructure, which partly comes from an overall lack of money and partly from corruption that keeps the existing money in the areas of relative wealth.
I can't help to love Boyan Slat.
I admire so much that he never gives up
how many obstacles he may find in his way.
You are a real hero to me. Keep courage!!
Nowadays heros pick up plastic.
This is Nobel Prize material!! You guys make me so proud. I wish, that you get granted more money, because we ALL deserve it.

@@mike7870 I think you got those stats mixed up, there are rarely vids, and I wish they would livstream these interceptors, its so satisfying
Coca-Cola has invested in the making of 10 of them. More large companies should follow suit

Thank you for doing what you do...
Still can not understand why every country in the world is not helping them with money. He is doing such a great thing for the earth
Can't wait to see more interceptors out there. It's a major environmental problems that's needs to be solved. Keep up the good work ocean clean up
That's the perfect example of a growth mindset - when life throws you more problems, you rethink, adapt, and re-engineer your solutions! Amazing work from Boyan and The Ocean Cleanup team 👏

They both rescue animals from terrible deaths
AND raise awareness by filming it, at the same time.

Love your positivity and innovation! Keep it up!
Thank you so much for what you and year team do!
Your doing a fantastic job ocean cleanup 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
This inventor is doing a great job. Please visit every state legislature & get them to purchase one.
I love how this guy understood the government isnt doing enough tp clean up the oceans so he just went:
"Fine, I'll do it myself"
You are amazing. Such dedication! Out of the 1,000 rivers, how many are you working on and how many have you "tackled" successfully? Thank you!!!

They really should have these in Hawaii. Would be way more effective at saving the turtles than banning plastic straws.

Imagine grownup people using straws.
If a person can’t move their arm to lift a cup or they have weak grip, then yes, straws are necessary - even for grownups.

@@TheEnabledDisabled Your right but they can't do it forever can they
