Can we save our oceans? Sure! Will we save our oceans before ocean acidification, global warming, & the Holocene mass extinction event destroy them? No! The Great Barrier Reef is already 60% gone & the rest will be dead within 20 years. That's just how American capitalism works! 🤷
It's disheartening to see that explicit content consistently receives high viewership, while valuable and well-researched content struggles to gain even a fraction of that attention. It's a reminder of the unfortunate reality that human interests often gravitate towards sensationalized material, while more meaningful content is overlooked....😢😢😢😢
Unfortunately, this isn't enough to prevent plastic in our oceans, only when plastic production fully stops, will we see impactful results from the projects in the video.
I agree yet I think it’s a good start. We need to be cleaning and preventing more plastic from entering our oceans. This tech is incredibly useful and will still be useful even after we stop producing plastic.
Plastics are indispensible for our life and will never go away (e.g. medical single use products, or do you want a rinsed syringe?). It's important to educate the people not to throw aways their trash illegally and especially improve garbage collection and recycling in the most polluting countries. The biggest chunck of pollution of the oceans is limited to a few countries and big rivers, which simply lacked the resources develop proper waste disposal strategies before cheap plastics flooded the markets. Improving conditions there will not make the garbage patch go away, but drastically slow it's growth. In the meantime, solutions as shown in this video will help to undo the damage over time. Maybe we'll reach a future without huge plastic islands in the sea during our lifetime.
2:34 We have versions of these skimmers here in London on the River Thames. Except that they're massively bigger and passive. Each week or two, they are moved to the next area of concentrated current, mouth upstream and moored until they're full or time dictates a move.
Thank you very much! 💚 It definitely is a struggle right now but we are doing our best to continue making this content and eventually grow into a big channel 🙏
Cause most of these innovations are from a profit free company that has no legal power in any government to stop the trash getting into the water. They can only act opon trash in the water
You guys need to learn the metric system!!! (time 2.51) Tonnes are NOT equal to kilogrammes, there is a 1000 factor in difference!!!! 1 ton = 1000 kg!!!!!! Kindly the Danish Viking

Finally there are more Good News! 🥳
MegaBuildsYT and Good News are both great combinations for sure
Great information and inspiring
Very sad to see all this plastic in our oceans... I am glad that there is at least some hope 🙏
This is what the world needs, more Good News
Need more positive and optimistic channels like this!
Yes! We really enjoy making these episodes as well 😇
One can agree with this
@@Good__News would love a short or something about what goes in, to find these topics and such. Please keep up the great work ❤️

What do you think, are these projects good enough to stop plastic pollution in our oceans? 🤔
Thank you for your support on our recent videos! 💚
While it’s great that we are getting plastic out, the key is eliminating plastic use in the first place for other more sustainable materials.
Great channel , keep going !❤
Thank you! Will do!

I really hope you get more views. TH-cam is a struggle nowadays and content like this should be so much more popular

These inventions are cool, but why aren’t we addressing the root problems? Too much plastic and too much plastic ending up in the waterways? 🤦🏻♂️

I would voluntarily pay a tax if it went to this excellent ocean cleaning work.
Refreshing. Im tired of bad doom and gloom news.
9:20 how sure are we the items are actually SORTED at all those places? What percentage of the company checks in with each regularly?

When you get a 2 year old Tech World video recommended to after watching this one... >_>
