I like these guys but can’t help to think, how nice of them to come up with a plan to collect $4 Billion for themselves.. I mean, ocean cleanup..

Did you not read about the work Boyan has done since he was 15 years old? And just decided to post this baseless and utterly useless comment here?
@bweber9468

There needs to be a virgin plastic tax in order to offset the cost of plastic recycling. Also, Single use plastics need to be scrapped and redone as biodegradable plastics only.

Not 4 billion , 7.5 billion
@RikHeijmen
September 15, 2024 at 3:44 pm
7.5 billion with the result they have had until now and 10 years. 4 billion if they continue to improve and 5 years. Its called “progress”. Check their documentary, look into it. Then post your informed comment.

Feel good stories about bandaid “solutions” that do nothing to address the root of the problem.
@RikHeijmen

Posting negative “comments” without any fact checking. The Ocean Cleanup actually has several ‘interceptors’ deployed in the world’s most polluting rivers, mostly in Asia. Results are very promising. Check the full video they jay released. The world is better of with Boyan, for sure. And the world really doesn’t need baseless bs from people like you.

@CNET You really should take a look at the last youtube video of Retroblasting, Hasbro&Disney siriously dropped the ball with this new Power saber that is the holy grail of lightsaber toys and tech – the first auto/functioning saber that you can duel with. It’s an unbelievable story and the biggest thing related to star wars.
A win and a new hope for the fandom.
Would love your take and video on it

need to commercialize this….like use the plastic as fuel to make energy and in turn revenue. then you dont have to worry about donations drying up

7.5 billion isnt staggering for a 10 yr roi. for an ocean that gives us TRILLIONS of dollars a year. dummie logic with how they introduced that.

What a waste of money filling the board members pockets.
If water is leaking from a Tap on to your kitchen floor, you don’t spend on cleaning up the water
You spend on fixing the tap.
This is just green washing and dumb people are falling for it.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) is estimated to be around 1.6 million square kilometers in size, which is about twice the size of Texas or three times the size of France.

Can someone tell me where the garbage patch came from? Who dumped all that garbage?
@MangoIsLove55
September 16, 2024 at 5:16 am
dumped in rivers and from there it goes into the oceans because rivers end up in oceans and gets concentrated because of ocean currents
@stanlucaks

This will never work as you clean up the Chinese will pollute the ocean more. How are you ever gonna clean it up when all the countries are not getting together and making the same pledges

Create a plastic tax on virgin plastics to fund it.
@marianf25
September 16, 2024 at 4:14 am
Really nice initiative that gives me hope. 4B is nothing at this scale. Moving from 10 years to 5 it’s also a huge improvement. In 10 years a large part of that plastic will already be on the ocean floor at best or in our food.

3:12 Great concept, but I’m not sure about the sea creatres could easily swim out of the way part, given it’s 2.5 km accross. That said, it does have safety exits it seems and overall perhaps the benefits outweigh the costs to sea life.
@JohnWindberg
September 16, 2024 at 10:27 am
now we should bill the plastics industry for the cleanup
@JohnWindberg
September 16, 2024 at 10:28 am
perhaps then, they would finally create reasonable, compostable plastics
@JJs_playground
September 16, 2024 at 1:27 pm
Nestle, Coca-Cola, Pepsi and johnson & Johnson should pay for this.
Governments of the world, please put pressure on the major plastic polluters to pay for this. They are literally killing us.

September 16, 2024 at 9:01 pm
So, instead of tackling the root cause, polluting industries that produce single use plastics and non-biodegradable materials the solution is to create a new market with venture capital to clean up at the end of the chain. That’s rich 🤡
