This Electric Unicycle is Technically a Bi-cycle?
We tried out the InMotion E20 self-balancing vehicle. You could call it a unicycle but it’s actually a 2-in-1. Would you try this? #electric #ev #unicycle #InMotion #electricscooter

It’s been years that it’s proven to have no impact at all. Are these videos about maintaining the hype so that the NGO goes on receiving funding year after year?
@randomjasmicisrandom

The funding that they spend on scientific exploration of our oceans and rivers, that is published and given free for other scientists to use, and to maintain the two vessels at sea pulling the collection system? That funding? I know,it’s brilliant isn’t it. I’m interested on what you base your idea that there is no impact at all, given that this is still the development phase.

Not even 1 % of plastic in the ocean floats on the sea. Over 99 % is not even catchable by these systems… So it makes the ocean prettier to look at, but the problem for the ecosystem (for us) remains!
@randomjasmicisrandom

That is why the system of barges stopping the plastic getting out to the ocean in the first place is so important.

cost about 10k a day for one ship to run so how much oil we burning to catch a bit of plastic 🤷♂
@stevenm7211
April 9, 2024 at 6:32 pm
So, they get some plastic out of the ocean and recycle it into a new product that is then dumped in the ocean for them to clean it out again. You win twice brother, It’s good biz.

Tax the companies that sell the plastic, at the end of the day the companies will just add that tax on to the product. So the companies will not being paying it , you will !!!!!’ I can’t believe people don’t understand that concept

If there was just a couple ship loads of trash in one spot on the ocean, this would be great. What is the diesel fuel to trash ratio here? What a joke. I bet its near 1 to 1. For every volume of plastic it requires the same amount of fuel.

A great project that raises lots of cash for eco warriors. Well 45t per year is better than 6t. So this year they might do a hundred furry tons. That will give them a life time job.

It’s saddening to see that none of the companies that profit from all that plastic all of the soft drink companies all over the packaging companies all of the petroleum companies that supply the raw materials all of the companies that make the plastics and process them nobody puts a dime in to this while they make billions upon billions of dollars in profits.
@AngryAmericanWizard
April 10, 2024 at 5:20 pm
Cool, but we need to prevent it from getting there in the first place. Reduce single use plastics as much as possible, issue deposits on them to get them returned to a sorting facility so they can be recycled or repurposed or properly disposed of.
@derek-64
April 10, 2024 at 5:49 pm
It’s one thing to clean up the waste but we should try and work communities to try and find alternate solutions so we can try to prevent waste from getting into the rivers, streams, and oceans. Not only would it clean up the water but it would help clean those areas, especially rural areas where trash is abundant and we can try to make it cleaner and healthier for them as well.

I live near the Long Island sound in New York. So much plastic in the water and washing up on little islands. It’s so sad. Nobody does anything about it. Fisherman just leave all their trash to blow into the water. Nobody cares.

Thank you to those involved in this task. This is a World Benefit project and deserves funding at whatever level the need (i.e. the amount of plastic tonnage appearing in our oceans each year). I can only hope there is a concurrent effort to prevent the plastic entering the natural world in the first place.

Like sitting beside a bathtub, the faucet running at full power, and you got a tiny tiny spoon, with which you take out a little water every hour and throw it into a leaking bucket on top of the bathtub.
And then you make a youtube video so ppl think that SOMETHING GETS DONE after all.
