Good News: The Seabin Can Clean Up Our Ocean

Two Australian surfers have quit their jobs and come up with a brilliant solution to combat the millions of tons of trash in our oceans.

Andrew Turton and Pete Ceglinski’s Seabin invention is an ocean-cleaning device so simple and effective, we’re wondering why it took so long.

The water filtration system is much like what you’d find in a fish tank, but it has the potential to clean up an entire ocean:

QUIT = RENUNCIAR

TRASH = BASURA

DEVICE = ARTILUGIO

The concept is simple: A bucket, as seen in the GIF below, connects to a water pump, sucking in any floating trash inside a removable mesh bag (= bolsa de malla)

(...)  Turton and Ceglinski say they have never caught a fish or marine animal in their pumps in four years of testing.
