This is a wonderful, simple invention he has come up with! It is good news that the floating plastic is being dealt with.
September 8th is tomorrow. I wish them well with the launch.
Well done to this young inventor!
Now we have to tackle the problem from the other end too, and prevent that much garbage getting into the ocean in the first place.
Surely that much cannot be just coming from "litter louts" who throw trash out of cars etc? It is on such a monumental scale, it makes me wonder if some rubbish that should be collected and dealt with by authorities,local councils, etc is not being dumped into the water instead....as a cheaper option maybe...?
On a more personal note, many people were throwing rubbish out of passing cars on my lane. I was forever picking it up and recycling it, or burning what couldn't be recycled (yes I know, polluting the air....but what can you do?)
Anyway I put up a sign and tied it to the hedge:

Would the people who regularly throw rubbish
out of their car windows here
please stop doing it?
Thanks.
Well suddenly there is no rubbish thrown out of cars any more on my lane. I am amazed.
I am hoping they didn't just save it up to throw out of the window somewhere else....
