  • Infinity expedition crew cleans up just one very small island, on a very small atoll in the Marshall Islands, the middle of nowhere.
    While anchored in the Marshall Islands, Infinity is doing heaps of prep work and repairs to get ready for the trip this summer to break the record for farthest north sailed. While she's in the Marshall's though, we try and pay a bit of rent to the ocean by doing come cleanups. Pretty depressing to find so much in such a remote place.

    Thank you for cleaning this up. You've saved a lot of animals by doing so. It's appalling the way we deal with our rubbish!
    I'm pleased to see that several countries in Asia are now starting to clean up rubbish and educate people about where not to throw their rubbish.

    Wow! Thank you guys for spending some time picking up thrash along the shoreline. It's awesome to see people that cares. I myself is a environmentalist, I pick up thrash whether I'm in Prague or Canada or wherever I am in the world it doesn't matter. Wish everyone do the same. Thank you again!

    In the time these people cleaned up this beach .... 10s of thousands times as much ended up in the oceans ... and yet, they did it ANYWAY. That is what they're about. It is the very purpose of the channel and the community. The literal definition of hope and faith.

    Thankyou to all those cleaning up beaches & those involved in telling their stories. I do hope all of this plastic gets properly recycled. The net floats & buoys & fenders can go back to fishermen who can use them. The plastic bottles can be processed & made into many things including fleece jackets & blankets. Polythene bags can also be made into other things including multi-use long-life plastic bags or plant pots. The undamaged sandals can be put into non-identical pairs & given free to very poor people who need basic footwear. (Maybe those in refuge camps, who often have very little having fled in a hurry.) I am not sure how the damaged ones can be recycled but I hope they can.
    Thankyou so much to everyone working to help the environment. I will be doing some beach litter-clearing myself.

We need a new super safe biodegradable substitute to do away with the production of plastic completely, maybe I’m kidding myself. Your videos are all great keep sharing we love it.

    I would quit my day job and do this for a living if it were
    a real job even if the pay is really crappie or I can figure out a way to
    retire early and still collect my pension and eventually social security. I would kayak from island to island putting
    all trash in bright orange bags and all passing ships must be required to pick
    up at least one bag from the island.
    Doesn’t matter what country you come from because this garbage comes
    from all of us globally. So any
    billionaires out there who want to sponsor of teams of four to clean up all
    uninhabited islands? Figure out a way to
    get us a global island pass which allows us to stay on any uninhabited until it’s
    cleaned up and then onto the next. And I
    will supply all the kayaks and camping gear for at least four people including
    survival gear. There’s already a team
    cleaning up the oceans plastic so why not do this. So any billionaire’s willing to step up? We don’t need money just a global island pass
    which I’m sure you can get with your connections. Leave a lasting legacy for the plant.

      Today I picked up some trash in nature near the railway and had a similar idea. its time that this job is well paid and people who are interested can do it and live from the earnings. we´ve so many stupid jobs here in germany, which are destroyng a lot in this world. its time to do the great and right jobs, which are important for all of us here.
      I think its possible to create a NGO and talk with al lot of companies and show them the photos of their produced trash in nature and the necessary that humans have to collect it before it disintegrated. maybe 5% of the labels give u some money and u can hire collectors. its one of my plans to collect money and ask inter alia bottle deposit pickers then if they are interested in a 10 euro/h job.
      Where are you from?
      If ur doing a cickstarter, fundraising etc. it can work too and you can link it*

      Depending on where you live, it's far better to have it buried in a pit away from the ocean where it can not degrade for a million years than floating around in the ocean not degrading and constantly killing stuff. But yeah, a drop in the ocean, the same amount we picked up in a day is created and dumped into the ocean every 1/1,000 of a second, but it at least makes people aware.
