The Ocean Cleanup

And I said, like, are we creating a technology for a problem that we don't need to solve? Because that's essentially what is coming up here.

And she compared over-promised tech fixes to something like Ocean Cleanup Project.

If you were on Ocean Decoded Live on my YouTube, you can see how I talked about the ocean cleanup and how that was a technology that we didn't really need that actually made it worse in the ocean than better.

And these pitches for fast fixes, for something that really needs to be stopped at the source is they're just distractions, right? It's just like when a politician, when they're trying to answer a question and they refer to something different just to get out of answering that question because they know people aren't going to like the question, right? Now, Anya was being pretty modest of what was actually like the landscape that we're here, right? And going into what the plastic eating bacteria landscape is like.

And to such an extent that he's now had a call from a very big organization that...

It's called The Ocean Cleanup.

It was started by a Dutch man.

And that organization cleans up oceans all over the world.

So there's that.

So the Ocean Cleanup Project is one.

Seaspiracy, the Netflix documentary, is a complete sham.

That guy knows nothing about ocean conservation.

So he created this idea and took it to his science fair, and people started noticing.

And now today he has a program called The Ocean Cleanup, and they are doing an incredible job cleaning up the plastics in the ocean.

It's pretty exciting to see and to read about what is being done.

And in fact, even this year, they're not just doing a prototype, which is, like, a sample or a smaller version.
