Twenty Dutchman has developed an ingenious plan to cleanse the ocean

Just like everything genialnoeYunosha from Holland presented the incredibly ambitious project: to halve the amount of debris floating in the Pacific Ocean, for ten years. The boy, whose name Boyen Slet, came up with a pretty clever way to do it: instead of having to constantly carry out clean-up, he wants to make the ocean on their own to clean themselves.



Each year about 8 million tons of plastic is thrown into the ocean. Sleta plan is to install a huge floating barriers near the whirlpool, which are found everywhere around the coasts. These eddies do not interfere with animals, since the rotation occurs at the water surface - just where the light plastic floats. Thus, the trash will be concentrated in these funnels for subsequent easy and convenient collection and disposal.





















Slet received the support of more than a hundred oceanographers and began a fundraising campaign on Kickstarter. He liked the idea so influential political figures such as the mayor of Los Angeles and the mayor of Tsushima, a Japanese island, where in 2016 it is planned to place the first barrier, invented Sletom. Environmental friendliness and simplicity of the idea of ​​the Dutchman made his plan most promising project with all available to humanity at this time. Bravo!
