Hope for the environment as far as cleaning up our horrific problem with garbage through science and technology by using an innovative ocean cleanup system.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is the world's largest collection of floating trash lying between between Hawaii and California. The Ocean Cleanup, a cleanup campaign created by Dutch teenager, Boyan Slat, has now been launched with the use of its first vessel to rid more than 50% of the trash in this location, which is often described as "larger than Texas.

The system consists of a 600-meter-long floater that sits at the surface of the water and a tapered 3-meter-deep skirt attached below. The floater provides buoyancy to the system and prevents plastic from flowing over it, while the skirt stops debris from escaping underneath.

This could significantly help prepare people because it captures the storm environment and conditions and BEFORE the storm totally forms.
