    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."

BTW you can only recycle plastic a limited amount of times, I suggest you go and do some more research so you're not so impressed by the appearance of these projects.

      I'm an inventor, son...I have come up with countless useful wonderful inventions aiming at bettering the quality of life for ALL of humanity...since I was 9!
      My crowning jewel is a vehicle I am currently working on that can navigate through water, the atmosphere, and through outer space by using the combined collaborated effort of 3 latteral independent unidirectional motion and the force of inertia.
      It has no outside moving parts nor does it emit anything...
      The propulsion is internal.
      It will not only revolutionize aviation, but space travel as well...
      And get this...I will NEVER try something like scamming society with a pair of outrageously over priced sun glasses made out of garbage and then call it a "donation"...
      I plan on using every penny I make on my inventions and try to basically GIVE my inventions away to humanity...
      I do not desire lots and lots of money...
      I want only for the happiness of mankind...
      Like The Great Nikola Tesla, I AM a true inventor at heart.
      So there's your answer to your question, "How do you match that achievement?"
      Now I have a question for you...
      What size shoe does your mouth take?

      And I tell you, I never met an ACTUAL inventor who isn't a genius.

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.
