Belated World Oceans Day with @theoceancleanup 🌊. It seems like everything—at least for me—stems from the Golden Gate Bridge. My career...documenting this bridge...witnessing the 75th anniversary show...flying by helicopter over the incredible low fog...seeing thousands march across the bridge in protest of police brutality and systemic racism on June 6, 2020. Last year, I was fortunate enough to work with an amazing aerial team to film the aerial livestream of the launch of @TheOceanCleanup’s first plastic cleanup system, which was towed from right under the Golden Gate Bridge out to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Now, I am beyond excited to join @TheOceanCleanup as an ambassador. It's a project I have followed since their first TED Talk, and I support their mission 100% so want to help share and support it through my platform and work. With a full fleet of cleanup systems in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, they aim to clean up 50% of its plastic every five years. And to stop plastic before it reaches the ocean, The Ocean Cleanup has also developed the first scalable solution to efficiently intercept plastic in rivers. Give them a follow @TheOceanCleanup! #TheOceanCleanup #WorldOceansDay #natgeotravel #pegair #pegasusaerials (at The Ocean Cleanup) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBRLsdSFkK4/?igshid=9ntjgm8eucfh

The Ocean Cleanup Project Removes Over 100,000kg Of Plastic From Great Pacific Garbage Patch

The Ocean Cleanup project has removed over 100-thousand kilograms (220-thousand pounds) of plastic from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP). The Dutch nonprofit organization behind the largest ocean cleanup project in history has reached a monumental milestone. The Ocean Cleanup announced on Twitter that they had removed more than 100-thousand kilograms of plastic from the gyre of trash in the central North Pacific Ocean known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

The Ocean Cleanup was started in 2013 by then 18-year-old Dutch-born inventor-entrepreneur Boyan Slat with a goal of using technology to clean up the world’s waterways. After testing multiple versions of their ocean cleaning technology in the North Sea, the group set their sights on the GPGP in 2018. Slat says that it took them years to collect the first 8-thousand kilograms of plastic, but in the last few weeks they’ve been collecting that amount every four days.

The milestone is important because The Ocean Cleanup estimates that 100-thousand kilograms represents about one-one thousandths (1/1000 or 0.1%) of the total amount of trash in the GPGP. They believe the newest version of their tech will be able to collect that amount every month and if they can get ten of their machines out there cleaning up the Pacific ocean, they’ll be removing that much every few days. Of course, the problem will never go away as long as people are careless with their garbage, but for the first time ever, someone is making a significant dent in the existing problem.

#Repost @get.waste.ed with @make_repost ・・・ 31 metric TONS of plastic have been collected from the Pacific! Would you say System 002 is a good idea given its awesome results so far? Or is it just another greenwashing fluke that uses up millions of dollars "to invent trawl fishing"? The fact is that no matter how much plastic we cut out of our lives, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch needs to be cleaned up. System 002 seems as good a candidate for the job as any 🚮 . . ————————————————— FOLLOW - @get.waste.ed 🌎💪💪🏾💪🏼 ————————————————— . . 📹 @theoceancleanup ℹ️ Gizmodo / The Independent . . #GetWasteEd #greatpacificgarbagepatch #theoceancleanup #pacificocean #saveouroceans #savetheocean #oceanlife #oceans #marinelife #plasticpollution #eco #sustainable #sustainability #zerowaste #plastic #breakfreefromplastic #saynotoplastic #singleuseplastic #green #reuse #reduce #recycle #wastefree (at ChemPack & Environmental) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVjfXaVpjRg/?utm_medium=tumblr
