This is so cool! 19-year old Boyan Slat has possibly invented a way to clean our world's oceans in LESS THAN 5 YEARS! And it would make a profit. As if that isn't amazing enough, it would also be safe from harming marine life and would collect the waste in a way that would allow the world to truly see how much we are dumping into the oceans. Hopefully this will give some people a wake up call and encourage them to choose more environmentally friendly life choices. Currently, there is a team of experts and engineers studying this concept in depth and if everything checks out, this could be a solution that scientists have been looking for for years. It is almost like a massive pool filter that works with the current of the ocean to collect plastic and other floating debris.
