(1\/3) I’m standing on top of an epic piece of technology that was just launched into the pacific after 5 years of hard work (see story!), started by a 19 year old kid: @boyanslat. It is a tiny part of a massive system built by @theoceancleanup which will help remove over 50% of plastic from the great Pacific garbage patch in the next five years. It’s autonomous, solar powered, complete with anti-collision systems, cameras, sensors and satellites. Here’s how it works. #theoceancleanup #plasticfree #oceanconservation #postivevibes #artivist #behindtheimpact<\/a><\/p>\n
