Boyan Slat should be hailed as a worldwide hero for his efforts.

I hope my Kenyan people get to see this video to give us an idea of cleaning up the Nairobi River

Absolutely fantastic to see communities and tech working to heal, restore, and rejuvenate the earth's waterways. It's such a joy to see you working on solutions to the garbage problem in our rivers. Thanks guys!

I also have that question, I don't know where it will stop, hopefully soon, you have my support Boyan , from the first day like 10 years back , respect for not giving up on our planet .

Projects like this increase exponentially as funding & technology increases; so I'm sure they'll beat their goal.

Thank You, Boyen Slatt 🕊 the Interceptor is an amazing invention

Wow! Great video, even better than The Ocean Cleanup does. 2040? Maybe with a little help, we have installed 6 river trash Kabooms in Camiguin Island Southern Philippines,,,,just in this last year. They are made from used tires and plastic bottles, trash stopping trash. I love what The Ocean Cleanup is doing and can't wait for them to come help us here in Philippines.

Yes as technology gets better and more people work together it will happen.

I hope OceanCleanup accomplishes this a lot sooner than 2040. I hope all of humanity comes together to fix and eliminate all forms of pollution, BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE….

They're doing a great job!

This is what Elon musk should be doing instead of that ridiculous mars thing

Amazing and beautiful project. Kudos to all people involved in these magnificent projects.😊❤

I think the costs should be paid by the plastic companies

Think twice before you throw ! Not only plastic….. anything which brings pollution in…. Air , water and Earth too. Packaging industry should be more eco friendly. The use and throw technology matters much. It’s way of thinking needs to develop since childhood….start with Diapers…till throwing a corpus in a water…. Still, I am happy someone has taken it seriously!! Good luck!

I dream that everyone in the world stops throwing their garbage in rivers and that companies find other solutions to stop making plastics

Its great to see people supporting the environment.

Great to see that there are so many exciting and innovative projects out there, to save our waters. We try this through a holistic approach, using garbage collection boats, and a river platform, together with AI - but also within the fields of recycling, environmental education, and local partnerships. 🌊

I HOPE it exceeds the goals

I think they will meet their goals. The project is really taking steam!

These need to be introduced into American waterways too.

Awsome we want more interceptors across the world in pollution hot spots Let the clean up begin,More research ,and investment in this area.

All countries should unite and raise sufficient fund and have a joint medium to long term plan to tackle the problem of rivers and oceanic pollution. All best technologies should be applied. An international agency should inspect and oversee the implementation of hydrosphere cleaning programme. The culprit or indifferent government or industry should be penalised. The programme should be implemented on war footing

I think it is a step in the right direction we need to start caring more about our environment or before we know it the garbage patch will be all of our homes and lives! People need to wake up! ! ! !

yes I sure do especially when the people in these places see how amazing the water really can be

I think it is about time that humans became responsible for how we live, our garbage, how we treat animals. We need to grow up as a species.

It will work IF these governments and it's peoples work together.

Welcome to Kenya let's clean Nbi river, Indian Ocean and lake victoria

All rivers worldwide should have this…

Wonderful initiative that will succeed! I hope so..,

Yes I do believe they will

Yes.

Good for him. I remember when he was proposing this plan. It has come along way.

I say yes to the last question as long as people support them.

I live near a creek and a major river, go to Cape Cod frequently and see a number of other rivers. I have never over seen plastic in any of them and I live on the East coast of US. What about that??? And no one came in and cleaned them up. I travel, drive, to the Midwest, New England, south to Nashville. Never any plastic in any water.

Muito sucesso sempre protegidos por DEUS ✝️🤔🌎🌍🌏⭐

Question: Can the Interceptor Barrier hold back storm event debris such as very large trees, boulders, etc?

Though this is better than doing nothing, it's simply treating the symptom rather than the cause. If we simply collect the plastic and sells it, it will only be shifting it from floating in water to landfills or piles on land. It will be like a hoarder shifting things around instead of actually letting go of things. Shifting around of plastic waste will only be a resource exhaustive with constantly depreciating returns....unless and until we start treating every plastic material not as waste but as an asset the value of which depreciates the more it's exposed to sun and wear 'n tear. We should have enough and more, reclaiming, repurposing, state of the art recycling facilities that will pay anybody an amount worth the trouble to collect, keep and easily drop off recyclables as soon as they can. That will develop an entire economy chain on it's own, if dropping off/pick up is highly accessible and the money substantial. The ideal solution will be when river cleaning machines retire, when there isn't enough plastic in rivers, when it's not washed into rivers from land when the users don't discard plastic in land, but reduce-reuse-repurpose and recycle as those become monetarily benifitial than throwing plastic away. Bring value to plastic and people won't throw it away carelessly.

Hpw about BANNING PLASTIC WRAPPERS AND ALL THAT PLASTIC PET crap?

In the Philippines we had the Duterte Admin. It solve the Manila bay problem...

When a mean man called countries that trash our rivers s holes He was right

Nettoyer c'est bien, Eduquer c'est mieux !!!

Great idea to breath earth . Pleass send the company ads.

It kills fish, birds and animals? They're all animals.

If you want to help, you can help donate to The Ocean Cleanup I'm also investing with the company BALL because aluminum and glass jars are the best alternatives to plastic

Hi can we do this start up in india

There are too many people, and the number is growing. More people equals less of everything except pollution. We are chasing our tail.

Very good solution. Should be replicated.

THANKS & LOVE FROM PAKISTAN

Only rich countries can afford the luxuries of clean water, clean soil, clean air & garbage disposal services. Likewise they can afford to protect & preserve their natural areas. With access to abundant cheap convenient energy through fossil fuels poorer countries would be able to do the same. Also they would be able to clean up their garbage. The pointless efforts to make energy scarce & expensive in the cause of an imaginary climate change crisis will cause the environment to get worse.

I believe you’re dreaming. It’s a good goal but with people caring less and less and not educating themselves and their children about the importance of a clean environment, i believe we won’t get too far with the efforts. More and more plastics are being produced than we can get rid off and with an increasing population that don’t give a dam especially young ones, it’s a lost cause 😢.

Too far if 2040, that goal may achieved in 2035 with government and Civilization support

You basically stole all your info from The Ocean Cleanup. What's the point of this video.

World leaders need to get together and ban plastic and problem solved

Ocean Cleanup is not a sustainable solution; eventually it will run out of funds to continue operating. The only way to solve this problem is to teach cultures how to properly dispose of their refuse and to reduce our reliance on materials that outlive their useful life.

nott believeable

very bad video
