A 19 year old Dutch student has proposed a brilliant idea of floatin boom and separation platforms to clear plastic from the oceans. Surface pollution is starting to become a massive issue in disrupting the eco-systems of the oceans, and environmental groups have been left without solutions, as a cleanup using conventional ships would create immense emissions and require billions per year to fund. This proposal is self-sustaining and virtually impact free. Just from a look, the engineering looks sound and it is potentially a profit generating solution.
Just wonderful stuff...
