Why aren't we cleaning the great pacific garbage patch?

well the irony is the chinks have become more responsible about their trash than we have here in the US. we used to send it all to them, now theyve stopped taking it and we have nowhere to put it, so we are going to begin massively shitting up our own land and other european countries we can send it to

There is one thing that can be done. Eliminate China.

It isn't true just because you say it is. Have you seen how chinks live and how the factories function?

Hahahahaha, wow.

yes, that's what makes it ironic. the chinese have realized how massively fucking disgusting their country is becoming and has refused to take in any more trash from the country that produces a third of the worlds total waste (despite being maybe 5% of its total population). we make way more trash than china, we are just better at covering it up (until now)

>microplastics
look here desu

hmmm, are microplastics that big of an issue though? i am sure the average lefty pseudo-scientist would say something like "plastic give u cancer lole" but is it really a significant problem? after all, these plastics are quite tiny, and i am not sure there is that much of it at the moment

OMG WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THIS BEFORE.

GARBAGE PATCH KIDS !

yeah, we can get Sisyphus to clean it up every year from now until China and India stop polluting.

smartest words to ever came out of a leaf

Didn't they produce a plastic eating bacteria?

- Japanese researchers discovered a strand of bacteria that's evolved to eat a particular type of plastic called polyethylene terephthalate, commonly known as PET or PETE. - According to them, the bacteria could break the plastic down into smaller pieces but not fully eat it away.12 Dec 2018

we probably could but it would cost a lot og money and no one wants to (((waste))) money to clean this

why?
it doesn't get worse on it's own, and it does actually break down and fix itself in time.

it's not like a forest fire, or a leak. the solution to the "garbage patch problem" isn't just cleaning up the garbage every time gets too large. the solution is preventing the garbage in the first place.

>Why aren't we cleaning the great pacific garbage patch?

Because the third world animals will keep throwing trash in it

The more garbage the less sunlight will penetrate and beat the ocean reducing global warming. It’s win/win

Sauce these garbage stats

>and it does actually break down and fix itself in time
well, it breaks down into microplastics, which will enter fish and eventually us. i agree the solution is in prevention, not cleaning it, but both could be necessary. i don't know for sure, which is why i made the thread.

The issues are innumerable. Fukushima alone should have shut down commercial misappropriation of the Pacific Ocean. Here we are today killing our largest source of food and potential medicinal secrets... meanwhile Greenpeace cries about whales

That's pretty fucking disgusting

>Spread bacteria into ocean
>Microplastics now fucking EVERYWHERE
>Bacteria hitches a ride on Chinese shipping boats
>Latches onto Chinese plastic shit being shipped around the world
>RIP all plastic products everywhere

If it could fully digest the plastic into something else then fucking go for it and fuck the consequences, the less plastic the better, but microplastics are the worst.

here are yearly reports of waste production in the united states

frontiergroup.org/reports/fg/trash-america
data here is equivalent to that which is found in the government reports, but compared against worldwide trends

here is a generic article about china refusing to take our trash/recycling now. you can find plenty of copy/paste news about this, it is not unknown

the problem is this bacteria isnt really efficient or widespread enough, i dont think it can adequately resolve the issue unless it is somehow artificially enhanced drastically

If he in favor of that

I know right ? I like how nobody mentions that 'garbage island' is Asian in nature. They buy the world's garbage and dump it into the pacific.

>Make like Japan and incenerate all your plastic waste and generate power with it
>Use profits from selling electricity to plant moar trees to offset muh carbon emissions

I solved the problem how fucking hard was that

There is no garbage island it’s just a large area of the ocean with a slightly higher concentration of microplastics.

i like how people think that it will only be useful for disposing of unwanted plastics, as if it won't jeopardize the integrity of structural plastics still in use, especially as it spreads and mutates-- offering an evolutionary advantage in the form of a readily available carbon source currently unused en masse.

>Why aren't we cleaning the great pacific garbage patch?
Unless you're using 'we' to mean the Chinks and Poos that caused it, you can fuck right off.

Good, fuck plastics. We managed perfectly fine without them.

im fully educated on this, weirdly pol is slackin
anyway,
ya

yes
>2018
b4
ya
ya

ok so, we have a plan but it only comes later after the current plans/world events r finished and uhhh its taking longer than expected
rest easy, change is cumming

no
we aint regressing

Just nuke it. Problem solved

So pretty much a standard crowdfunded project scam.

The only thing you're "fully educated" in is fucking your cousins....

thank yuo allahu akbar

yep

Too busy dealing with kike subversion.

first gen tech always sucks
thats why the rollout of the plans is so slow
we cant fuck up

sad!

Why does this require a prototype of anything? All you need is a fleet of ocean going barges and tugs, some sheerlegs with dredge nets and a command ship to oversee the operation and house the crew. Fill a barge, transport it to the nearest mainland, offload it and return to the patch. One fleet for every patch. Yes it will take years to do it, but it's better than sitting around throwing money at it while accomplishing nothing.

yeah thats part of the plan
