Every single Navy ship at sea dumps tons of trash every night and has always done so. Their efforts are a drop in a bucket unfortunately.
RubiksAndRum
They spend lifetimes undoing what a car manufacturer created in 4 hours
Rin007
A real Sisyphus task they do. At least it helps raise awerness by showing proof how much garbage you can find in a short while.
KatHob10
Garbage Island is real.
Radandie94
So it's the equivalent of me plucking one of my eyebrows? Still kudos to them trying to make the world a better place is a good thing
lilfatcat
Can they save my sex life too?
Stroika
only to be dumped back, dont get me wrong, i applaud what they do, but where it goes and whats done with it, is the sauce i want.
StephNugs
One of those men is Bruce from funhaus and you can't convince me otherwise.

Why can't they put this on the news instead of 'fake' news?
paulio101
Thank you, I needed to see this.

Their effort may only be a drop in the ocean but at least its an effort

People power!

That merchandising though!! We've got 4Ocean hats, tshirts, flags. Put 4Ocean on your truck! Put it on a tent! Got a burlap sack? 4Ocean it!

I wonder how long until they start fishing out their own merchandise from the ocean.
jenaleelee
Damn they started only 8 months ago. I need to get off my hynie and do something impactful with my life!!! .....After a few more posts....
siouxperman
then one of them accidentally grabs a bobbit worm
DavidELD
So will they get that giant floating pile of garbage in the middle of the ocean?
suppafly
Doesn't actually exist.
NetflixKilledTheVideoStore
.... AND THEN PUT IT BACK INTO THE OCEAN!
KreepyNinja
and they went on to make the "burns omni-net"
ohmygodwhywouldyoudothat
So who is this "4Cean?"

Hey, it's better than what most rich kids do with their money. Who cares where it came from??

I came here to say this. There's a bunch of people with so much money, they could live ten lives on it... this on the contrary is great!
hetnkik999
Walking dog by a water channel yesterday and found empty garbage bag by the water. So I picked it up and just picked up trash as we walked.
bigblindguy
Yay they have almost removed what get dumped ina single day!
anddylanrew
I would have guessed less than a single day.
anddylanrew
One garbage truck worth of plastic alone gets dumped into the ocean each minute. Yeah. They are fighting an uphill battle.
KingZullu
The hill was steeper when there were only 2.
TheGuyWithTheReallyLongUserName
Legend's
Zombierilla
But where does the trash go once they remove it? Where's their team at that point? Otherwise won't it end back up where it was found?
Fudui2
They dump it in a local river with the rest of the trash.
TechnicallyRight
We take garbage from the 70% of the earth & shove it into the 30% thats left. JUST LIKE THE OTHER GARBAGE WE ALLOW TO STAIN THE EARTH, CAROL
PrincessDonaldTrumpBANNED2
Some is recycled. Some is incinerated and generates modest energy. Most into landfills
foesmono
the solution is dilution!
LAVADRACO
They make bracelets out of the plastic and sell them (Source my brother-in-law is a manager)
Aimanfire
Do we have incinerators yet?
TheNonInsestuousJaime
of course it will, otherwise theyre buissnes will be over...
CmRock136
We put it on a missile and shoot it at Mars because fuck you, Mars.

That's the secret. That 90000 pounds is the same pound over and over again

Some goes to recycling, some goes to landfills. I bet. I don't know. Seems reasonable tho,yes?
FuckMeFuckYou
As they are separating plastics in the gif, then yes, it seems like that's what they're doing.
baldewok
Plastics get incinerated if they can't be recycled.
xxDmDxx
You can see it gets separated so it goes to recycling.

Back into the ocean to keep demand high. Like a firefighter starting a fire just to put it out later and spend a whole lot of time in jail.

They could probably sell it to Sweden. We need to buy garbage, since our power plants keeps running out of garbage to burn.
fotografist
As a Norwegian, thanks for buying all our rubbish.
Grrgrrbitches
They turn it into merchandise. I bought two $20 garbage bracelets. They are pretty.

According to imgur, Sweden imports trash.

Not hot enough to sterilize medical waste?!!? Wow!
Cathunterninja
But if it's in a volcano, does it really need to be sterilized?
mossflower
would that work in real life? throwing our junk into volcanos?
hopethisisarelevantname
If it did, humans would've tried (and fucked up horribly) by now: http://www.popsci.com/why-dont-we-just-throw-all-our-garbage-into-volcanos

dude that was a fast reply! thanks :)

Met all my work deadlines...and I got 2 1/2 hours to kill at the office.

Landfills are still a thing in the US?

So many people in this world are disgusting. To bad living is not a privilege that you have to actually earn.
SeriouslyEveryoneCanSearchWikipediaHereIsARealReference
Not mostly consumers' fault. They live in areas without garbage collection. Most blame goes to manufacturers that sell to poor Asian regions

How else are we supposed to get hills? From runoff, plate tectonics, or soil creep? Like some scrub?

Guys, I just founded an organization, 4Land. It basically cleans the land from trash. Anyone care to pitch in?
daguq
I just founded an organisation, it's called 8Beach, basically we take all the rubbish from the sea and land and pile it up between the two.
ImSuperBad
This sounds like war, I'm in!

You should start a war with 4ocean with brass knuckles and pipe wrenches.

Does it all end up back in the ocean?
