I subscribe to their YouTube channel and it seems like their trash blocking systems they have installed in rivers is probably the most valuable part of the whole thing from the outside observer's perspective. The amount of plastic they pull from these is really pretty incredible. But yeah, the part where they are on the open ocean collecting it seems pretty daunting, but maybe robotics can help one day??



Aren't the entire tropes and myths around pioneering startups to "start small" in someones garage? Why expect immediate perfection from a non-profit?

It is irrelevant how small their impact is right now - at least someone is actually doing something against the behemoth problem of pollution.
