Great! What do you do with all the garbage?

Meowwwza3 years ago

Is there any process in place to consider the marine life that has made this garbage home? I am thrilled about us getting rid of this garbage, and the complexity is that many marine animals have taken refuge within it, so I would hope you are taking that ecosystem into account.

Is there a better way to do this than dumping it on the deck every single time. Seems rather inefficient. Equivalent to sweeping everything into a dust pan and then dumping it on the floor again.

Here is one of our latest extractions from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch can be cleaned in 10 years for 7.5B USD. The only thing standing between the world and a clean ocean is money. It’s time for action.

For the first time, we can put a price tag on cleaning up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. We now call upon the world - governments, companies, individuals - to make this cleanup happen.
