Even better --> companies making products you can buy without plastic.

I dont mean to diminish the effort, but that boat has a giant exhaust.. just polluting the air..

You see these dead on the edge of the Nile in Cairo.

They should collect the people who made this trash

I would apply for the job to do this to Lake Erie.

... the ramp needs to be alot wider. And the storage needs to be *alot* bigger. But, big first steps!

When you are done with the planet, then send it up into space. We made a fucking mess up there too.

Man, we really suck as a species

Barely noticing?

It's not all of us. This kind of thing is common from the entitled class of people. Normal people hold their drink, till they pass a bin.

But when humanity really gets tested we all come together... Just kidding, we all totally suck!
staceBugTerror
We really do. We are the actual trash
LarsVonZen
Even clean countries have this problem, animals get into the trash then the wind gets it and blows it into to water. Not always shit humans
PickIeRick
It's interesting how there's a side of our species that really sucks, but then there's the side that spends their lives making this stuff
Zamm005
At some point I guess we’ll diverge into two separate species. Kinda makes sense. It’s perhaps the most significant selection pressure today

it's just a shame they collaborate from the start

This is why I am doing my part and any garbage I throw out of my car is biodegradable.

Just throw the litterbugs into the river.
I miss Balti when I see Mr Trashwheel
And the IPA dedicated to mr T’s lost python
Does anybody know how to import a container with beers to Europe?

That boat would be full in 10secs in Bali

Great news - where is this? Does the project have a name?

Something similar... https://www.mrtrashwheel.com. In Baltimore.

Mr. Trash Wheel (and some of his kin) in the Baltimore metro on the Inner Harbor. Mister is at the Jones Falls at Pier 6.

There are a couple on the Chicago River, gotta keep it pretty for photos.

The googly eyed one is Mr trash wheel. Love his IG and there’s a Reddit AMA with him that’s pretty funny
Verbodentoegang
They even managed to get them up in India by now, on the Ganges
If ever a river needed cleaning up it's the Ganges, do you know the name of these marvellous machines?

I think historically starvation was a very common problem. At least where I live it's not a problem in my lifetime.
paulguy119
We can have the tech without the problems, it just won't make anybody rich.
Cheomesh
You can't.
All the rich people watching star trek and scowling

You know not all garbage floats you libtards! (Says any boomer who believes if something doesn't solve a problem 100% it's not worth it)

Clustering people by age is just as racist as clustering them by color.
GryphonAyresFantasyAirline
Strictly speaking no, but I agree with the sentiment
ErniesWidow
As a Boomer, I can tell you I'm a liberal, and always have been.
Or was pure laziness on my part. Conservative had too many characters and I just went with the first name I could think of.
StuffOfNightmares
you could have used a "/s" but didnt, and yet you still got downvotes.
The downvotes were from calling ppl boomers it seems. And I did that bc only had seven characters left.

Now we need one that filters out microplastics.
blueTeam
I'm afraid that ship has sailed.
Santac99
This one does. It just takes the microplastic when its closer to other microplastic.
wheredoisign
Kind of like before plastic turns micro
Excactly. The different microplastic is very close to each other.
