Less than $1B per year is spare change on a global scale.

now we should bill the plastics industry for the cleanup

Please consider donating to The Ocean Cleanup. This guy who started the organization has really put his heart and soul into this effort.

I donated to them every month. Glad they are making an impact

Just give him the money - we need people and systems like this. I hope governments get behind this.

This man deserves a freakin Nobel Prize.

It is not only the United States that should depend on the clean-up drive, but all governments and private companies within the Pacific Rim must take action now.

Just imagine… if all the world’s wealthiest men / women donated 1 billion each to ocean clean up?

There needs to be a virgin plastic tax in order to offset the cost of plastic recycling. Also, Single use plastics need to be scrapped and redone as biodegradable plastics only.

I think he’ll get the money or at least extremely close to it, companies already have an interest in things like this because it looks good for them to donate too and is a good tax cut, while also allowing them to make contributions to helping with climate change

kudos to all Supporters and Investors

Really nice initiative that gives me hope. 4B is nothing at this scale. Moving from 10 years to 5 it's also a huge improvement. In 10 years a large part of that plastic will already be on the ocean floor at best or in our food.

Wow that's like 1/10 of a Twitter, to clean up the whole ocean? Wow

I have been talking about this for years and finally people trying to get things done. One world and when it is gone so are we.

You're not comprehending the enormity of that task. That one gyre is so large it would take hundreds of years to clean. Not counting all the crap that gets thrown back in daily. And then there are trash gyres in every ocean. Then there's all the trash and fish nets under the surface. We are irresponsible pigs and waited until it's way too late. Good luck with all that. You're going to need a lot more boats. Thousands more. Thanks a lot.
