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.

                If we all work together and do what they did we might just be able to save are homes and the ocean as well but we'll have to work together.😀

                      There are around 7 billion people on earth. If I threw a party and invited everybody (because everybody is my friend of course) it would take a party venue the size of New Jersey, USA.

                        Go Ocean Cleanup! All my life, I've heard some depressing stories about the environment. Instead of being encouraging, those stories just made the situation feel hopeless. But now I see that it is possible to save the oceans. It is awesome that grownups now actually care about what happens. But now, we are faced with a task; a burden, that none of the generations before us could bear. We need to look after Earth, because it is the only home we have. Our generation could put an end to all these awful things. WE ARE THE FUTURE!!!! TOGETHER, LET'S TAKE CARE OF OUR HOME!!!🌎🌱🐠
