The Ocean Cleanup makes me so angry. This is NOT THE WAY. Also lol at this correction: “A previous version of this article said that Ocean Cleanup vessels had removed more than a million tons of trash in three years. The amount was a million pounds.” 🦑🌏🐟 www.latimes.com/california/s...

Great Pacific Garbage Patch could be eliminated in 10 years, cleanup organization says

The Ocean Cleanup, a Dutch nonprofit organization, has projected that the blight on the world's largest ocean could be removed within a decade and for around $7.5 billion.

Did they ever bother updating the adverse impact to wildlife analysis in their proposals? It used to be just hand wave *the cause is worth any impact*

... what WOULD be the way?

LOL. 500 tons is what one Mr. Trashwheel does in the Baltimore Harbor every year.

where they thinking of PUTTING the great pacific garbage patch? some poor african country? maybe somewhere where it will wash right back into the sea?

Correct within three orders of magnitude.

So I wrote a letter to the editor of the @latimes.com about this.
