Most 20-year-olds are still trying to figure out what they want to do in life.Boyan Slat is not like that.Ever-since he was 16years old,the Dutch teenager has had one mission 一 to clean up the trillions of pieces of plastic that are polluting our oceans and killing precious marine life.What's amazing is that this young man who started with what sounded like a strange dream may actually be able to complete this huge task!
Slat's first exposure to ocean garbage came during a diving vacation in Greece.The teenager was astonished to see that there was more plastic on the beaches than fishes in the sea.Upon completing high school,he stated to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming an Aerospace Engineer.However,he could never remove the images of the plastic debris from his mind.
So in 2013,Slat dropped out of college and established The Ocean Cleanup Foundation.Its mission was to create an environmentally friendly large-scale and efficient way to remove the plastic pollution from aquatic ecosystems (水生生态系统),while increasing awareness by communicating this process intensively.
Within a year,the determined youngster and his team of 100volunteer scientists and engineers from around the world managed to come up with a 530-page study that laid out the technology and the financial needs for such a concept to be practical.
Called the"Ocean Cleanup Project",it did not require chasing after every piece of floating plastic.Instead,the plan focused on the five"garbage"patches that have been accumulated by ocean currents or gyres(涡流) in specific areas.According to experts,the five have about 5.25 trillion of the 8trillion pieces of plastic estimated to be floating around the world's oceans today.
Slat's team thought that if we create a stationary (固定的)collection area around each one,the plastic could be picked up in an economicaJ and efficient manner.The plan was convincing enough to help the team raise close to﹩2.2million in a crowdfunding campaign.
