You'd think governments would step up to help with these programs far more than they do just knowing how devastating the plastics are... But... Sadly so many countries can't see the damage it's causing, even when it's right in front of their own faces.

Just the fact that someone is actually doing something about this this plastic pandemic should be national news.

I remember Slat from years ago with his first ocean cleaning venture. I'm so glad he's still at it. This video was recommended to me because I had been watching videos on bricks made from plastic in Africa that are half the weight and 3 times stronger than normal bricks while being at the same price or cheaper than standard bricks. These new plastic-based bricks are tackling 3 crises at once: providing jobs with brick manufacturing. Solving homelessness with plastic based brick buildings. And cleaning up plastic pollution by recycling plastic. It would be great if Slat started making these bricks along with a whole host of similar plastic-based products that won't find their way back into the ecosystem.

The Mr. Trash Wheel vessel is part of the Waterfront Partnership of the City of Baltimore's "Healthy Harbor Plan." --- a great renaissance in garbage collection technology in the past 10 years and Mr. Trash Wheel is one of the pioneers, collecting over 3 million pounds of trash in Baltimore, Maryland.

The footage is from their interceptor unveiling event 2 years ago.

This machine was invented, in fact, by John Kellett. Mr. Trash Wheel was invented by John Kellett in 2008, who launched a pilot vessel at that time. A larger vessel was later developed; it replaced the pilot vessel and was launched in May 2014. The Mr. Trash Wheel vessel is part of the Waterfront Partnership of the City of Baltimore's "Healthy Harbor Plan." --- a great renaissance in garbage collection technology in the past 10 years and Mr. Trash Wheel is one of the pioneers, collecting over 3 million pounds of trash in Baltimore, Maryland.

Quran 42:30 And whatever strikes you of disaster - it is for what your hands have earned; but He pardons much. Quran 35:45 And if Allah were to impose blame on the people for what they have earned, He would not leave upon the earth any creature. But He defers them for a specified term. And when their time comes, then indeed Allah has ever been, of His servants, Seeing. Quran 16:61 And if Allah were to impose blame on the people for their wrongdoing, He would not have left upon the earth any creature, but He defers them for a specified term. And when their term has come, they will not remain behind an hour, nor will they precede [it]. Quran 18:58 And your Lord is the Forgiving, full of mercy. If He were to impose blame upon them for what they earned, He would have hastened for them the punishment. Rather, for them is an appointment from which they will never find an escape.

I think this is the greatest thing that anyone has ever come up with, thank you! We are people who can develop the most trash of anyone in this world and to think you folks have come up with a solution is GREAT!!! Thank you!!! 👏😊😁

Trash interceptors should be made available worldwide. The whole concept is simply ingenious! Hightime to do serious cleaning of our rivers and seas all over the globe. Good job!

It is nice seeing these things run in the Klang River everytime I go across the bridge

Excitted to see how far their designs have come. Been watching them for years since the unveiling of the first prototype. This young man is doing more to combat the plastic pollution than all the blowhard politicians combined

This is an amazing invention, guy really deserves more credit. Genuinely wish they could make 2k of these across various continents of the biggest cities

This is just plain GREAT! And the next phase to implement is that the onboard computer identifies the source company of each piece of plastic and automatically bills that company for their contribution to the pollution and cost to extract it from the rivers. There would still be a lot of unidentified crap but the identifiable plastic being charged back to the company responsible for making it in the first place would change things a lot, methinks.

There is only one flaw with this idea. What do you do with the waste once you collect it. If a significant amount of the plastic and other rubbish that is in the ocean is only there because countries don't have the means to deal with the amount of rubbish they have. So it will either end up being incinerated, stored in already overflowing garbage disposal or back in the ocean. It's a real pity because this idea would work perfectly if we had an effective way to deal with the garbage.

A huge thank you for this.
