Have people seen this? Looks and sounds pretty positive and to at least be a really good start at tackling the ocean plastic problem

An example of a young person offering up a real solution to a global problem rather than skipping school and standing outside parliament to voice overly emotional words to powers to be that won't listen. Boyan Slat is a doer … not a sayer … actions speak louder than words.
