        Plastic should be banned worldwide.

        Not necessarily. Throwing plastic away without recycling it, that should be definitely banned.

        Very sad and disturbing, however we can still change the outcome if we act now. Support #oceancleanupfoundation

        So what if we put in one of those pumps that cleans up oil spills and let it start sucking up the garbage? If it all goes to one place wouldn’t that make it easier to clean up?

        The great thing about it is that no two Garbage Patches are alike.

        I hear it's mostly plastic, some massive recycling ship should cruise out there and scoop it up. I wonder if there's a business case for it. 🤔

        They’re sending out a new project in August. Been planning it for 3 years.
