20,000 Pounds of Trash Removed From Pacific Garbage Patch: ‘Holy mother of god. It worked!’

The man who won't rest until the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is cleaned up has successfully tested his system for doing so.

““The Great Pacific Garbage Patch can now be cleaned,” announced Dutch entrepreneur Boyan Slat, the wonderkid inventor who’s spent a decade inventing systems for waterborne litter collection.

Recent tests on his Ocean Cleanup rig called System 002, invented to tackle the 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic pollution, were a success, leading Slat to predict that most of the oceanic garbage patches could be removed by 2040.

Intersections of ocean currents have created the massive floating islands of plastic trash—five slow-moving whirlpools that pull litter from thousands of miles away into a single radius.

The largest one sits between California and Hawaii, and 27-year-old Slat has been designing and testing his systems out there, launching from San Francisco since 2013.

GNN has reported on his original design for the floating device, but his engineering team improved upon it. System 002, nicknamed “Jenny,” successfully netted 9,000 kilograms, or around 20,000 pounds in its first trial.

It’s carbon-neutral, able to capture microplastics as small as 1 millimeter in diameter, and was designed to pose absolutely no threat to wildlife thanks to its wide capture area, slow motion, alerts, and camera monitors that allow operators to spy any overly-curious marine life…

Slat estimates ten Jennies could clean half the garbage patch in five years, and if 10 Jennies were deployed to the five major ocean gyres, then 90% of all floating plastic could be removed by 2040.” -via Good News Network, 10/19/21

Calling it now: with how much world-building has gone into the Dream SMP and how active and huge the fandom has become, I FULLY expect one of you fanfiction writers will write a novel that goes viral and eventually will end up published with changed names and everything.

I’m putting all my faith on you guys!

I hope I'm not just a blog to you guys but also a gateway to acquire secondhand knowledge of medias you'll never get into

I think what I enjoy most about tommy and techno's dynamic now is just how much tommy is leaning on him for support and just how unconditionally willing techno is to give him that. Though he shows plenty of exasperation and frustration at times with tommy, protecting him is never not an option. It's also not even a question for him to hide him from dream. Tommy is so clearly terrified and he needs reassurance that he'll be safe. And when that fear arrives, he gives tommy a choice. He can go see dream or he can hide. He can go to Logstedshire or run back home. He can stay behind in L'manburg or go back with techno. He can run from the Final Control Room or face his past. He obviously still doesn't like where tommy is at the moment- expressing annoyance and confusion at tommy's feelings towards dream- but he doesn't force a conclusion on him. Just quietly reminds tommy of what dream has done and lets him work it out for himself. And when tommy gets upset, like with the Final Control Room and Logstedshire, he doesn't push him to confront it, though it's clear he'd be supportive of any decision he makes about confronting his trauma. What techno understands right now is that tommy hasn't been treated as equal for a long time. Tommy isn't allowed choice. And now that tommy is finally free from all the people pushing him around, the best way to support him is to let him know that he can choose. Techno is right: tommy does have no free will. But it doesn't need to be like that forever, and as long as techno had a say in it, it won't.
