Cleaning up the oceans

[Hix]

A 19 year old has come up with an idea to rid the ocean of plastic.

It looks like a floating manta ray!

And it's a damn good idea too.

Absolutely brilliant. That is one cause I would donate to. Of course the other half of the equation is we need to get people to stop dumping plastic in the ocean. One of the reasons I will never take an ocean cruise - guests do not realize that while they sleep the crew throws their garbage bags overboard.

Brilliant! I love how this was imagined up by a 19 year old, too! Just goes to show... Finally, perhaps a solution to the Pacific Garbage Patch!
