This is really exciting. I knew it was only a matter of time when this project would start to have success. Congratulations to the Ocean Cleanup Project team.
It's truly something important, not just to me personally, but to the survival of our species and to hundreds if not thousands of other species. It's not a toilet, it's not a dump, it has the potential to sustainably feed our entire population if handled properly. It has the potential to power our city's and homes with free, clean electricity and not to mention, the most fun I ever have is playing in the water, surfing, kayaking, boats, swimming and fishing. I just love the water.
@@Je1e1 on the grand scheme of things, the longevity of the planet. That is not a massive price to pay, consider this. That amount of fuel is burned 100x over from ships crossing the oceans. If just one of those ships does something that will make a huge difference then it's totally worth it! This plastic is destroying the ocean and devastating so many species. I fail to see your point to be honest. Don't burn fuel to save the planet?
Just to think it took a 15 year old young man, Boyan , to start this, and in short 5 years or so, accomplished something extraordinary. Now, if we just could Stopp People’s from throwing Trash into Rivers and Oceans. Thank you, the future looks a bit brighter because of you and your team! Respect...... I’m doing my part, Recycling as much as I can.
That'd be like a janitor trying to stop people from pissing on toilet seats. There will always be people that just absolutely do not care and will do whatever they want.
The Ocean Cleanup : Thank yoU so very very for your dedication, patience and a sincere love for Mother Earth. We are with you & with/for our one and only Mother Earth ❤️💛💚
Thank you seems so small. I've watched you and your teams for over 10 years now. The work by so many engineers, and scientists, marine biologists etc incredible achievements esp those foul rivers which so many lives depend on . So glad you marched on regardless of some disappointments met along the way. Many others from all over the world are trying to help in different ways, but you are all just incredible. Thank you
A couple of years ago I witnessed a police officer pulling over a man for throwing a handful of plastic trash out his car window! I am so glad to see more and more people start to care. This was in California. Thank you for being on the frontlines of this massive issue! God bless you all!
As long as that environmental activism focuses on actively doing something other than pointing fingers and screaming that other people need to "do something". A good start would be policing your own to get rid of the loudmouth activists that don't do anything other than scream and make a scene. Ruins the credibility of people (Ocean Cleanup) that are actually accomplishing something.
@@johnshilling2221 true, but many people I've spoken to say that they'll only make changes and do something if their government makes it a law. These people understand there's a problem, but aren't willing to do something unless someone from above makes them do it. My hunch is that the majority is like this. In that case, doesn't it make sense for activist groups to lobby/pressurise governments to do something?
@@azurbleu4335 Have you heard of the Interceptors? That's exactly what they're doing. Also, the boat is just for collecting the plastic out of the free-floating, carbon-neutral system. Have you looked at their website? Do you know anything about the project?
@@aeronalto1065 What i know : Saline seawater covers approximately 361,000,000 km2 (139,000,000 sq mi) / Studies estimate there are more than 15-51 trillion pieces of plastic in the world's oceans . Growing year after year / In 2018, world plastics production totaled around 359 million metric tons. Wish the little boat & its crew good luck
Can’t believe I’ve been following this journey for so long through its ups and downs and seeing it finally succeed on a large scale... it’s enough to make a grown man cry🥺😭
I appreciate/honor the time and patience and effort you guys put in to do something so needed for our world right now. Thank you from the bottom of my heart
So happy for all of us that it works. Guys you deserve the nobel price, I'm serious. Thank you for your hard work. All the best for you, stay safe and healthy.
You people are really protecting earth, from forming new kind of disease from plastics in future, who knows! We'll here to motivate you people, awesome work.
Thank you for your dedication! When I bring plastic into my home, I'm doing so w the idea that it is a permanent resident. Thanks to the efforts of those who have eliminated the need for laundry detergent bottles!
All of you are such an inspiration to us! Congratulations, and please keep ignoring the naysayers. People who say this will never work are grossly underestimating human ingenuity and the passion of people to do what's right.
We are indeed passionate about saving the oceans, and it is a key motivator for all of us - along with the support we get from people like you. We're not stopping until we reach our goal!
Small or big, any contribution helps us on the monumental mission of getting rid of plastic from the ocean. Thank you very much for your help, Dominik!
Great work everyone 👍 I've always been thoughtful & surprised over that no-one ever thought about cleaning up all the debris that has for decades gone in to the ocean after hurricanes and tornados worldwide.. not all of it watch up on the shoreline But now finally you Brave Warrior are doing the job for the world society Thank you all from my heart.. and best of the best to you all.. Stay safe.. BigTime Bravo 💕🍃🌍🍃💕✌😷💕🍃🌹🍃💕
More amazing work + results, congratulations everyone on the team, hope you enjoyed a well-earned beer after this! Please keep doing what you're doing!
Absolutely fantastic. Well done OCteam! We need this good news in these hard times of the spreading Corona disease. I hope all of you stay healthy and well! Ga zo door! Best wishes from the Netherlands.
Thank you so much! We try our best to document the ups and downs of this project, so that our amazing supporters, such as yourself can visualize the journey!
Can't wait to experience (almost entirely) plastic free waters in our lifetime! I'll do my best to remove as many kilograms as possible, whenever I'm near the ocean. Almost 400kg removed on land, so far 🐢🐳🐬🐠🦀 Let's make this happen!
All I hope is that they never have to pick up my plastic waste for me. I'd rather not pollute - we all ought to stop it, as there is no greater cost than life on this planet. Just a few days of lockdown has improved the air quality so much, imagine the impact can have if we all become responsible a inhabitants of this only planet we call home.
Brilliant! Thanks guys for all your efforts in this project. You guys are making a difference, now and in the future but also inspiring the next generation. X
Such an amazing job you've done! Gave me chills all over. Really happy to see this. Thank god for your existence. Keep up the good work. Hope you'll be able to scale up soon!
Indeed, we were happy that we were able to collect 60 1m3 bags of plastic. Importantly, now that we have completed Mission One, we will compile our learnings and begin the process of designing System 002. This will indeed bring us further to that huge leap for our oceans!
It's still very much on 'doom course' (I'm sure you know), but hopefully people get inspired to contribute in every way they possibly can 🌍🌊 It takes all of us. Cheers.
It's not preachy, it's not grandstanding, it's doing something effectively and improving upon it. We need way more of this and it needs way more attention.
You guys are genius. It's really inspired how passionate about the project the founder is. We need more people like you in every field. I'm trying to be as passionate as yourself in my own career field.
Every Nation in the world could supply one vessel at no cost to assist these people in their research and cleanup activities. I wouldn't cost that much but would be a great help to bring the oceans back to their full clean and pristine condition condition. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK The Ocean Cleanup!
While we would appreciate all the help, that would make for a lot of boats - and quite a carbon footprint! This is why we have designed our ocean system to work autonomously, using the natural currents of the ocean to capture and retain plastic. We hope to need as few vessels as possible to pick up the plastic when the systems are full. You can read more about our ocean system here: theoceancleanup.com/oceans/
Indeed we were delighted that we were able to collect 60 1m3 bags of plastic! If you are curious to find out what the material is like and what the product will be, feel free to join us on our journey from pollution to product and register here: products.theoceancleanup.com
Congratulations! So great to see! I wish I would have seen this last year. It would have really bolstered me up during the weirdness of that year. Luckily 002 - Jenny! - is doing well for us out of my home city of Victoria, and I could not be more excited. Good job!
Finally-some environmental news that doesn’t leave me depressed. After years of feeling helpless in the face of planetary destruction there is hope. I hope these guys can make a difference 😊
While that sounds like a great idea, unfortunately metal is not the ideal material for this system. Our ocean Systems consist of a long floater that sits at the surface of the water and a skirt that hangs beneath it. A cork line above the skirt prevents debris from escaping underneath. You can learn more about it here: theoceancleanup.com/milestones/system001/
In times like these where governments around the world have massively betrayed the people for decades it's great to see that people doing something that actually makes sense and really makes the world a better place. Thank you.

He takes the credit for all his team?
@@Nanix1991 No where in his comment was that implied.
@@twodigitscout9800 people will associate him with it
The trash can get washed from the land, during a flood, people don't have to directly throw the waste into a river or ocean to pollute it.
That'd be like a janitor trying to stop people from pissing on toilet seats. There will always be people that just absolutely do not care and will do whatever they want.
