Clean up platsics from the oceans
The huge problem in the ocean because of the plastics
- These problems normally happen in the summer time when there are a lot of people out on their boats ,having parties and throwing their rubbish into the sea instead of waiting until they are on land and put the rubbish in the bin.

- The causes of this is that all the living things that are in the ocean are dieing, because they eat the toxic things that people have thrown in the sea. The biggest problem is that the animals get stuck in the rubbish and then die because they can't get out .
Boyan Slat's story
- Boyan Slat was born in Holland on the 27th of July,he is a Dutch inventor and entrepreneur who creates technologies to solve societal problems.
- He is the founder and CEO ( chieff executive officer) of "The Ocean Cleanup",which develops advanced technologies to rid world's oceans of plastic.

- He first started by using a hand made net that he made himself, and what he did was put that net on the end of the ship so when they drove around the ocean so that it would pick up half of the rubbish in the ocean. After this project he started making it more advanced to be able to clean it up better.

Explain his solution
- Boyan slat had the idea of making a large net that went all around the center of the ocean where the current occurs. With having that large net right in the middle where the currents occurs is a very good idea because the current pulls all the rubbish so when it all comes, it will go inside the big net, and with that we will reduce the numbers of plastics that are in that ocean.

Opinion
- I think that Boyan Slat did a very good job as he worked very hard to acomplish this solution. If Boyan Slat didn't try to make something, later on the sea would be full of contamination with plastics and the would be lots of dead living things that live in the sea.
- The idea that i had, to try and solve this problem isn't as good as Boyan Slat, because the only idea i had was to go around on a boat with a large net and grab all the rubbish, but it would take years going around the ocean to collect all the rubbish ,which would not save all the living creatures of the sea .
