I have watched
this Tedtalk about how the Great Pacific Garbage Patch can be solved. The
speaker is a18 year-old highschool student, and I find his idea very
innovative.
. We have always
thought of education and increasing the awareness as a first-step of the
solution for such global environmental issues. But we have never thought of how
we can directly solve such issue. His idea is rather direct and simple because
his idea is a machine that is simply trapping trashes.
His idea is still
very radical because he used ocean current as a mover of the machine to save
the maintanace costs of the machine. As a result of this low-budget solution,
he expected some entrepreneurs could invest to profit from selling plastics.
This profitable solution certainly increases demand for investment.
His idea is not concrete
yet and we might have to be skeptical about his statistics and
expectations. But his idea is innovative and I believe some developments will
be made on his idea.
