Visit www.theoceancleanup.com to read up on the details for their solution for cleaning water. Congratulations to Boyan Slat, the brilliant young man who came up with this simple but ingenious way to remove tons of floating garbage from the ocean. A huge barrier captures large amounts of floating plastic and debris driven by current and removing it from the water. It then travels up a conveyor build where it is directed and collected. This is really an exciting project. See More on the Ocean Clean Up.
