Dutch inventor Boyan Slat has developed a master plan to clear a “floating” island of trash dubbed the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which stretches 600,000 square miles between California and Hawaii in a multi-million dollar project dubbed, “The Ocean Cleanup.”

Sounds like a good plan, right? like the oceans garbage truck? it’s better than nothing, at least we will be able to collect a high portion of our trash.
