Cleaning Up The Great Pacific Garbage Patch

19-year-old inventor finds way to clean up the world’s oceans in under 5 years time | The Mind Unleashed

The device's inventor, by the way, is not from an Islamic country.

Beach in India

 

[Tellenbach]

Entire countries are run by the same incompetent donkeys that we see on shows like Kitchen Nightmares. That trash laden beach in India tells me that whoever is in charge should probably be fired. All it takes is a dozen teens with trashbags and gloves to clean up the beach each day.

They probably want the US to clean it up for them.

People like this make me feel there is hope for our species. Once I learnt about the garbage in the oceans I immediately became fastidious about what I bought, what it's packaged in and seperating all recyclables in my garbage. I had to admit I was the guilty party of just routinely throwing everything in landfill.

i saw this on facebook so freakin cool.

I'm all for it. Practical principles and approaches to modern day problems. It's really cool.

I'm also excited about the solar-panel roadways they're trying to come up with right now.. A country that ran off of the sun entirely and had more energy than they knew what to do with? And if we incinerated our trash the way Sweden or whoever does right now to pay for it no less? We could see a whole new circuit of things.

Now if only we could improve batteries to be conscientiously rechargeable without eventually going kaput..

Incinerating trash doesn't work out.

Is burning garbage green? In Sweden, there’s little debate | Midwest Energy News Sweden seems to be doing it for a while now.. It'd be better than that huuge terrible smelling land fill that smells near my home everytime it rains.

 

[EJCC]

So excited about this. I think I'm going to donate to it.

The Swedish sheeple don't debate things, they simply obey their government's edicts.

Does burning garbage create pollution? Does pollution not create more problems?

So.. get Canada to do it, sell them our waste and do major reforms to pay for it. Got it.

• Water- and soil contamination
• Massive methane emissions
• Hive of disease organisms and vectors

A cogeneration incinerator certainly sounds preferable to a literal heap of useless, hazardous shit. Of course incineration releases some hazardous elements and fine particles into the environment, but modern emission control designs have made the health- and environmental risks posed by incineration negligible compared to those of, for example, a coal-fired power plant.
You input waste, and out comes heat, electricity, and ash composed of highly-prized elements. Other than having been proven to be highly efficient by "Scandinavian sheeple," what do you see wrong with this approach to waste management? Why do you see landfills as the better choice?

That was "Swedish sheeple." And your pollution controls are more expensive to maintain than the energy you get out of incineration.

I have never believed in landfills. I believe in throwing all trash into big piles so that people and animals can sort through it and find goodies, and let nature take care of the rest.
