Something very scary I saw recently is that by 2025 there will be 1kg of plastic waste for every 3kg of fish in the ocean. At the current rate of overfishing, and the current rate of accumulation of plastics in the ocean, by 2050 it is estimated that there will be more plastic than fish by mass in the ocean.

If they dispute it the fine increases quite substantially and I have never had to appear in court due to an infringement notice being disputed. Cell phones are great for recording evidence of littering. 👍
Whoever is Backing this project,Thank you so much,plus all the workers. Your all great,just imagine how bad it is all over the planet. The people have not had a dump so to speak,just done what they have done forever. We really need to educate folks or it's going to be catastrophic. All we see is what they show us, sometimes I wonder if even the leaders care. A friend of mine in the military said over by the pyramids it looked like a big dump. Hopefully they got that cleaned up,it's going to take effort on every person to help out. Again thanks to everyone that wants to do their part and clean it up.
@Thadeus Chud bro u good 🤨 you are talking about a completely different issue 😅 this pollution is not here because the commenter are Mcadonalds… I’m here for talking about important issues but telling someone pollution in a river is their fault because of their diet is a lil wack yo 😂
Wow kudos to you for taking on this massive project. I knew years ago we had a trash problem and my grandfather used to talk about it. Good to see someone finally taking it seriously. We all need to do better. Much love ❤️
Never give up because the right people in charge can keep getting these as ways to educate people a better way. I believe most people would make the better choice if the right ways are shown. Education is so important! But be proud heros! Live by grace not perfection. Youre making an impact just keep on going!
Except that it'll just go back into the place. It's not about removal, it's about properly processing recycables. Which governments and businesses don't do because they don't want to invest money into it.
@@mrgarybusey2052 like 90% of the pollution in the ocean comes from a handful of rivers. Most are in undeveloped countries were they have no where to dump their waste so they just throw it on the ground and eventually the rivers take it out to sea. I do agree about the government though. Plastic is actually made using oil, and of course the government isn’t going to go against a business that makes them billions of dollars 👀
You should make the fence angled to lean back at the top so that the trash pushes itself to the top and doesn't block the water at the bottom, that's your main reason why the water carved a tunnel at the bottom on your previous fence
The fence works great either way, it's just that no matter how good a blockade is the trash will break it no matter what, seeing that no one herw even considered to find a way to constantly dig out the trash from the river.
Don’t worry. Natures got this. There are organisms now that have adapted to digest plastics and convert to harmless organic material. It looks dreadful. Offending countries should be fined.

I was devastated when that happened as I know y oi u all were. All that hard work to see that happen cannot have been easy. I wish you all the very best for round 2.
Considering it looks like that area is dry until the floods, you need to dig down deeper reinforce the ground with concrete, in a wedge shape to help drive the trash upwards, plus a means to skim the scum off the top to let the water past. You might want to look at the lock system in the Rideau canal in Canada, as it deals with yearly flooding in a similar situation. You may be able to use the trash to shore up the sides.
concrete might be hard to come by in places where they dont even have garbage collection/recycle/sewage system. i remember when i was young , my city were using river as sewage system as well. i think the city start cleaning rivers and building sewage system around 1995+
In countries like Guatemala it's generally more because of the lack of a proper waste management system put in by their local government, and less so because the people are "undisciplined". Explaining to the people would help of course, but it would being nothing if it wasn't easy and accessible to throw away trash in a proper way.
Latin America in general has a shocking lack of planning and infrastructure to handle human waste and trash. Even in Mexico from Cancun to Tulum it is unrestricted development and no proper sewage treatment. It drains into the ground destroying mangroves and seeping into the ground water and cenotes. It's really disgusting and this is an expensive place for tourists. So, gosh...where could all of that money be going?

First thing that came to my mind was have multiple fences like this in about 10-25 feet increments with decreasing hole size on the net itself. This would reduce the stress on individual fence holding all the plastic

I put failure like that because I don't consider this a fail at all
What a nobel gesture - we need people like U. I for one have been sorting all kind og trash for over 25 years and succeded to notch my kolleagues at my workplace as well.😊LOVE from 🇩🇰 Demark 💪👏
A conveyor system has to be integrated into the design so that the accumulation does not overwhelm the fence. A special conveyor has to be designed that will be portable and that will use the existing power of the river. that would make it autonomous, somewhat.
A conveyor would remove a fraction of a percent compared to the flow rate of the trash, and then making one powered by the river would also make it overly complicated. I suggest we leave it to the experts.
@@myworld4257 yes. The opposite of what the commenter is saying. Most of these countries are severely underdeveloped. In many they do not the luxury of a truck coming to pick up there trash. Most don’t even have paved roads. Instead they dump their trash and it gets carried away by the rivers. If we found a way to decrease poverty in these areas than they could implement stuff like proper waste management. How do we do that, I do not know the answer to that. All I know is that “chargin” countries already in poverty will NOT solve the issue. As far as what we can do, I still am working to figure it out. Only thing I can say is stay updated on these issues and help fund projects like the Ocean Cleanup. 🌊
@@tylerboss rubbish, if you do the council recycling provided by government then your part of the problem. If you use electricity hooked up to the main frame, use a car everyday, buy supermarket foods packaged, coke/soda/orange/milk containers etc, materials products made in the Asian continent your part of the problem. This is a short list, your water, your sewage etc Just because you put your bins out for the rubbish doesn't mean you're recycling. But I suppose it's a start. At least you're thinking about it. Any way, why attack me with your silly comment. There's no one squeaky clean on this planet except for cultures that have been left alone by everyone and grow what they need, know every plant and animal in the area resided, hunt only for what they need etc. Ignorant is what your comment is. Keep all of your trash and poop in your own back yard for a year and you may rethink your silly comment.
Actually no, the governments and corporations are responsible. The governments dont implement an actual recycling program And you still support the corporations that still do this. But suuuuure. Blame the public while the politicans keep sending our plastics overseas to countries they know will just dump it and while the corporations still maufacture non-recycable plastics that are fused with ink. Its like you guys dont even use the internet for its intended purpose.
@@mrgarybusey2052 the government/local council has a recycling program here in my country, we have 3 types of recycling. 1. Food waste 2. Recycling 3. non recycling. We all have to pay for the bins, no exception. The government has invested with a private company for the processing of our waste.
@@mrgarybusey2052 no you're responsible for what you do. All you buy and how you get rid of that waste. I'm sure you do a pooh at least once a day. That's you getting rid of your waste. I think only small minded people like you and your comment would blame everyone else but not look at your own foot print you and your family leaves. Cleaning up our environment always should start with our own homes and livelihood, then local community, then areas we use, beach, river, parks, roadways/curbs/guttering etc. Unblocking storm drains. There is so much a single family can do. If you get your street involved you could do even more. Then your neighbourhood would be awesome to walk around in. Don't be ignorant.
Many thanks to everyone who simply throws their rubbish on the ground. You made this project necessary and helped make it happen! Just don't think about changing your behavior.
@@jonnysprojects6549 what is giving less money going to do? They need to implement waste management. It is hard to collect trash if say there are no paved roads.
Oh man!! Seriously, I had NO idea how bad it is and just how disgusting the people in those places must truly be. Thank You Sincerely to everyone who actually helps in these efforts!!!
The "those places" comment belies how absolutely standard this is everywhere in the world, and that includes our precious perfect America. Looking at you, local roads, parking lots, highways, public parks, 2 inches away from trash cans, etc. Just because it doesn't end up floating on a riverbed doesn't mean we aren't wading around in trash constantly from inconvenienced "main character"-syndromed fuckwits. Sincerely, Get mad because you feel called out
1. Have a way to remove the trash, not just a barrier. 2. Barrier should be set et a angle to the river. Easier for removal. 3. You need to find out where it's coming from. 4. Education in the schools, workplace and public education on the importance of clean rivers. 5. Ways for the villages, towns cities to dispose of their trash. 6. Reduce, reuse and recycle education. If these things cannot be achieved River cleanup is a waste of time.
The evolutionary task does not get the space it deserves; The result is human psychopaths. As long as life is sold to God Mammon, there is no other result.
Ah yes there's always that one loser who does nothing to contribute but has rocket science level comments...hey theyre a volunteer group so why don't you go volunteer mastermind
You, like most of the other billion humans on the planet, have missed the mark. Recycle all you want. Drive Prius’s all you want. Unless humans stop over populating, we are doomed.
Not only the fence but a secondary removal net to ease pressure and assist removing is needed sort of like an Archimedes wheel to a waiting land base collection
This project should be widely publicized so that other. Countries can see how easy and inexpensive it is to make a huge and long lasting difference in this world.
Instead of trying to catch it all at one time, make multiple catch fences and make the screens progressively smaller to avoid all of it building up on one and breaking the whole system.
It's an absolutely amazing project! I've seen an update on highly successful attempts at this that were 💯 % effective! This is a great project to donate money to!
The problem is hydrofluorocarbon is basically microscopic and stems from the presence of plastic in water. Additionally the water must be superheated in order to break the molecular bond that the plastic causes and over time the degree of heat required increases in order to be effective.
I think the key to solving this problem is going to be found in places besides fencing. You need a layered solution, you can't just stretch a net across a waterway and expect to catch everything. You need a series of things that each catch _some_ trash, not one thing that catches _all_ the trash.
Goodness guys, pls yes work on this and export your solutions all over the world, it will be such a success and achievement for the environment!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
Plastic recycling involves collecting, sorting, and processing plastic waste to create new products. The benefits are substantial. Firstly, it reduces the environmental impact by conserving resources and decreasing landfill waste. Recycling also saves energy compared to making plastic from raw materials. Additionally, it lowers greenhouse gas emissions. Economically, recycling generates jobs in the recycling industry. Moreover, it can reduce the cost of manufacturing goods, as recycled plastic is often cheaper than virgin materials. Lastly, recycling promotes sustainability and minimizes the harmful effects of plastic pollution on wildlife and ecosystems, making it crucial for a more sustainable future.
Hats off to whoever is doing this to stop the plastic going into the ocean.

you may not have stopped it all, but you stopped an amazing amount for what I assume is the first attempt at this particular location. all I can say is we appreciate your efforts and I guarantee all the sea life appreciates you too. keep up the awesome work and don't ever let "failure" get you down. I put failure like that because I don't consider this a fail at all
Fails are part of learning
What a nobel gesture - we need people like U. I for one have been sorting all kind og trash for over 25 years and succeded to notch my kolleagues at my workplace as well.😊LOVE from 🇩🇰 Demark 💪👏
A conveyor system has to be integrated into the design so that the accumulation does not overwhelm the fence. A special conveyor has to be designed that will be portable and that will use the existing power of the river. that would make it autonomous, somewhat.
A conveyor would remove a fraction of a percent compared to the flow rate of the trash, and then making one powered by the river would also make it overly complicated. I suggest we leave it to the experts.
So define expert, my definition of an expert is someone who by way of hit or miss arrives at a workable solutuon,.
Best way is to have multiple lines of fence with different hole sizes between the chains, so it’s not up to one fence but like 4 or 5
I like the way you lot are thinking! if more ppl move and think like this then we surely will make noticeable progress!? Am i wrong?
Like, Subscribed. Please keep it up the hard work on helping protect our oceans! May God bless you and your colleagues as well as your families!
Countries that do this should have to pay extensively. Other countries shouldn’t burden the waste problem those countries fail to fix.
I'm sure they will just blame the West somehow, its always the white man's fault.
Any ideas to stop this?
@@myworld4257 yes. The opposite of what the commenter is saying. Most of these countries are severely underdeveloped. In many they do not the luxury of a truck coming to pick up there trash. Most don’t even have paved roads. Instead they dump their trash and it gets carried away by the rivers. If we found a way to decrease poverty in these areas than they could implement stuff like proper waste management. How do we do that, I do not know the answer to that. All I know is that “chargin” countries already in poverty will NOT solve the issue. As far as what we can do, I still am working to figure it out. Only thing I can say is stay updated on these issues and help fund projects like the Ocean Cleanup. 🌊
It's a wealth vs poverty question. Poor nations don't have the funds to remove garbage and build enough landfills to store and remove it.
@@gullintanni YES!
It’s a small effort for a big problem, but at least y’all are tackling it. Wish more people would get involved.
Keep up the amazing work! This is SO much more important and impactfull than what we can do here in the West.
I think about this trashfence at least once a week wondering how it's doing now. cant wait for more content on it.
Yall keep up the good work. We need more people out here like this
I watched your videos and short every day I feel proud of your team work❤ love
Needs like a water driven conveyor belt dragging the plastic off to one side
Agree
Man that's a damn shame 💯
But seriously- good on you guys for making this and being part of the solution ❤
Heartbreaking and each and everyone of us is responsible.
I recycle ♻️ so not everyone... also don't buy bottled water.
@@tylerboss rubbish, if you do the council recycling provided by government then your part of the problem. If you use electricity hooked up to the main frame, use a car everyday, buy supermarket foods packaged, coke/soda/orange/milk containers etc, materials products made in the Asian continent your part of the problem. This is a short list, your water, your sewage etc Just because you put your bins out for the rubbish doesn't mean you're recycling. But I suppose it's a start. At least you're thinking about it. Any way, why attack me with your silly comment. There's no one squeaky clean on this planet except for cultures that have been left alone by everyone and grow what they need, know every plant and animal in the area resided, hunt only for what they need etc. Ignorant is what your comment is.
Keep all of your trash and poop in your own back yard for a year and you may rethink your silly comment.
Actually no, the governments and corporations are responsible.
The governments dont implement an actual recycling program
And you still support the corporations that still do this.
But suuuuure. Blame the public while the politicans keep sending our plastics overseas to countries they know will just dump it and while the corporations still maufacture non-recycable plastics that are fused with ink.
Its like you guys dont even use the internet for its intended purpose.
@@mrgarybusey2052 the government/local council has a recycling program here in my country, we have 3 types of recycling. 1. Food waste 2. Recycling 3. non recycling. We all have to pay for the bins, no exception. The government has invested with a private company for the processing of our waste.
@@mrgarybusey2052 no you're responsible for what you do. All you buy and how you get rid of that waste. I'm sure you do a pooh at least once a day. That's you getting rid of your waste. I think only small minded people like you and your comment would blame everyone else but not look at your own foot print you and your family leaves. Cleaning up our environment always should start with our own homes and livelihood, then local community, then areas we use, beach, river, parks, roadways/curbs/guttering etc. Unblocking storm drains. There is so much a single family can do. If you get your street involved you could do even more. Then your neighbourhood would be awesome to walk around in. Don't be ignorant.
This still breaks my heart every time I see it.
Many thanks to everyone who simply throws their rubbish on the ground.
You made this project necessary and helped make it happen!
Just don't think about changing your behavior.
The country should either be sued or all handouts cut off until they start to do something we can all do something
Lol got lucky. Third world country
@semiinteresting4673 no just slash the uk funds thats sent over year upon year 👍
@@jonnysprojects6549 what is giving less money going to do? They need to implement waste management. It is hard to collect trash if say there are no paved roads.
@@gamvlogs9134thats not our problem. They have a problem that they need to fix. If they want handouts, theyll figure it out.
You have to have a way to quickly remove the trash onto the shore so the weight of it all doesn't collapse the fence.
Amazing! Thank you for doing these great jobs! Thank you!
You should add Super Thanks donations button to your video screen 👍
YES! 👍
Can’t wait to see the next version
😂😮
Very good step. Go on. Clean well. All human beings with your team.
Thats crazy. Keep it up
Oh man!! Seriously, I had NO idea how bad it is and just how disgusting the people in those places must truly be. Thank You Sincerely to everyone who actually helps in these efforts!!!
Welcome to the US of A
It’s not just “those” places… US trash & recycling is usually “sold”, sent, or pushed onto smaller countries as well.
The "those places" comment belies how absolutely standard this is everywhere in the world, and that includes our precious perfect America.
Looking at you, local roads, parking lots, highways, public parks, 2 inches away from trash cans, etc.
Just because it doesn't end up floating on a riverbed doesn't mean we aren't wading around in trash constantly from inconvenienced "main character"-syndromed fuckwits.
Sincerely,
Get mad because you feel called out
@@eleuteriodiaz3653Guatemala is the us now??
@@brunoc.7517starting to look like it..
Amazing invention. Praises to the inventor. You deserve a noble prize. 🤩🥰😍
1. Have a way to remove the trash, not just a barrier.
2. Barrier should be set et a angle to the river. Easier for removal.
3. You need to find out where it's coming from.
4. Education in the schools, workplace and public education on the importance of clean rivers.
5. Ways for the villages, towns cities to dispose of their trash.
6. Reduce, reuse and recycle education.
If these things cannot be achieved River cleanup is a waste of time.
Coming from someone who's all talk and no action, the audacity you have belittle somebody else effort.
@@Theace5655 somebody has to play devil's advocate
Besides he's talking about long term solutions
The evolutionary task does not get the space it deserves; The result is human psychopaths. As long as life is sold to God Mammon, there is no other result.
These people have bigger problems than worrying about where the trash bin is.
Ah yes there's always that one loser who does nothing to contribute but has rocket science level comments...hey theyre a volunteer group so why don't you go volunteer mastermind
We need thousands of companies doing the same thing as this companies
Nope,
It's actually *all* *humans* working on it‼️
Yes, more. But what we really need is companies that put out this trash in the first place to be held accountable! That and education for the people.
Thanks for the work and hope more come forward to help you guys...❤❤
My friends, the solution is inside our houses, less trash, more recycling, less pollution, better nature.
You, like most of the other billion humans on the planet, have missed the mark. Recycle all you want. Drive Prius’s all you want. Unless humans stop over populating, we are doomed.
In countries without garbage collection let alone recycling the people don't care. They throw it in the river
And the first step to that, is to stop blaming nations with white people and America for the problem
No the solution is inside of the factories polluting the world in every single country
Ahh yes your littering is making trash go into rivers in Guatemala makes a lot of sense.
Definitely not a shit hole country.
The fact that someone has to build fences to stop trash, as opposed to people not dumping their rubbish in the river is a statement in and of itself.
Good luck with the project , you are going to need it!
“Every journey begins with one step”, kudos to the people that take it…👍
People like u needs attention ..good work❤
Not only the fence but a secondary removal net to ease pressure and assist removing is needed sort of like an Archimedes wheel to a waiting land base collection
I appreciate the effort yall are putting forth! Is there any effort going to getting people to stop this nonsense?
This project should be widely publicized so that other. Countries can see how easy and inexpensive it is to make a huge and long lasting difference in this world.
Thank you for all you do. The sea species also thanks you.
Instead of trying to catch it all at one time, make multiple catch fences and make the screens progressively smaller to avoid all of it building up on one and breaking the whole system.
It's an absolutely amazing project!
I've seen an update on highly successful attempts at this that were 💯 % effective!
This is a great project to donate money to!
The problem is hydrofluorocarbon is basically microscopic and stems from the presence of plastic in water. Additionally the water must be superheated in order to break the molecular bond that the plastic causes and over time the degree of heat required increases in order to be effective.
Hats off the work, i am really surprised people really so careless that they are using river as a drainage
This is like a breath of fresh air
I think the key to solving this problem is going to be found in places besides fencing. You need a layered solution, you can't just stretch a net across a waterway and expect to catch everything. You need a series of things that each catch _some_ trash, not one thing that catches _all_ the trash.
Es increíble como esté planeta sigue aguantando el desastres que le propinamos cada segundo 😢
Goodness guys, pls yes work on this and export your solutions all over the world, it will be such a success and achievement for the environment!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
angle your fence toward a grade level concrete pad, the trash will push itself onto the pad, then use a front end loader to scoop it up.
God Be With Y’all🙏 and Thank You
Plastic recycling involves collecting, sorting, and processing plastic waste to create new products. The benefits are substantial. Firstly, it reduces the environmental impact by conserving resources and decreasing landfill waste. Recycling also saves energy compared to making plastic from raw materials. Additionally, it lowers greenhouse gas emissions. Economically, recycling generates jobs in the recycling industry. Moreover, it can reduce the cost of manufacturing goods, as recycled plastic is often cheaper than virgin materials. Lastly, recycling promotes sustainability and minimizes the harmful effects of plastic pollution on wildlife and ecosystems, making it crucial for a more sustainable future.
Your doing gods work, keep it up!
This deserve millions of likes.😢
Man I'm happy people are actually doing something about it now
You guys are doing amazing work for Earth. I will soon join the force.
Thank you so much for your HUMANITY
