Boyan Slat's non-profit Ocean Cleanup was able to successfully collect floating debris from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (Credit: theoceancleanup.com)

Boyan Slat has been dreaming of cleaning up the world's oceans ever since he was a teenager. On October 2, 2019, the now 25-year-old announced that System 001/B, an autonomous retrieval system developed by his non-profit Ocean Cleanup, had successfully trapped plastic debris floating in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Located between Hawaii and California, the approximately 617,763 square-mile mass of waste is the largest accumulation of ocean plastic in the world.

        wow... how come people who cause there to be trash just shrug it off, and pretend its no big deal?!?! THIS IS OUR ONLY HOME!!! Once an animal dies, it cant come back to life, and this is our only source of water. A Lot of people pretend, like post a picture of a area before and after cleanup... I really hope this problem clears up as soon as possible, and they need more people to go and clean up the ocean! who's with me??? Were not the only things on the planet, but this is our only home! SAVE PLANET EARTH!!!! We need to clean up pollution, plant trees, recycle, and help our community plus animals!!! Hope this ends, or it could get worse!
