Killing our Oceans with Plastic by https://padlet.com/james_chan1/smz852omh7d7 en-us 2018-12-04 23:56:48 UTC 2026-01-30 09:59:44 UTC hello@padlet.com The Issue james_chan1 https://padlet.com/james_chan1/smz852omh7d7/wish/311180909 In society we are continuing to waste more things and not throwing them directly into the trash thus ending up in our oceans. There are five major garbage patches, North pacific being the largest one. It is said to be three times the size of France.  ]]> 2018-12-04 23:57:07 UTC https://padlet.com/james_chan1/smz852omh7d7/wish/311180909 Ocean Cleanup Project james_chan1 https://padlet.com/james_chan1/smz852omh7d7/wish/311181240 A young boy started this cleanup project, after a trip to greece. The innovation is a cleanup system that uses the wind, waves and current. Although it is only 3 metres deep it stretches 600 metres across the ocean surface.  ]]> 2018-12-04 23:59:51 UTC https://padlet.com/james_chan1/smz852omh7d7/wish/311181240 Sea Bin Project james_chan1 https://padlet.com/james_chan1/smz852omh7d7/wish/311181583 Two surfers created the Sean Bin to collect debris in the waters. The sea bin is made for marinas or areas that are collecting garbage. The garbage gets sucked in then into the bag where the water is pumped back out and the debris stays inside. ]]> 2018-12-05 00:02:57 UTC https://padlet.com/james_chan1/smz852omh7d7/wish/311181583 Weaknesses james_chan1 https://padlet.com/james_chan1/smz852omh7d7/wish/311181952 Although we are looking towards the future with our new innovations to prevent and cleanup all the trash, it will take about twenty years to clean up 90% of the garbage. We can continue to make new innovations that can cleanup the waters but if people do not decide to make a change then the problem will only continue to go on. ]]> 2018-12-05 00:05:55 UTC https://padlet.com/james_chan1/smz852omh7d7/wish/311181952 Outcome james_chan1 https://padlet.com/james_chan1/smz852omh7d7/wish/311377606 A Ocean Cleanup project departed on september 8th 2018, it is named Wilson. While monitoring Wilson they noticed the shape wasn't the best for collecting the debris so they are changing the shape. If this project continues to grow if can achieve greatness and change our future for generations to come and for the marine life currently here.]]> 2018-12-05 14:43:21 UTC https://padlet.com/james_chan1/smz852omh7d7/wish/311377606 Local Application james_chan1 https://padlet.com/james_chan1/smz852omh7d7/wish/311380728 The Great Lakes are also collecting waste into them, with these innovations it could change the marine life and the lives surrounding the waters. We need to educate society because if we don't how can we expect people to change]]> 2018-12-05 14:48:14 UTC https://padlet.com/james_chan1/smz852omh7d7/wish/311380728 Conclusion james_chan1 https://padlet.com/james_chan1/smz852omh7d7/wish/311383263 The garbage patches will only continue to grow. The change begins with ourselves we need to focus on our personal waste and think about the amount of trash that we do throw away and do not reuse or recycle.
