How the oceans can clean themselves: Boyan Slat at TEDxDelft

9 years later!

Look at him now, today. So proud of him

And 10 years later, he did it!!!!! 1st it was with "Wilson", then with "Jenny". Bravo!!!!

There’s something magical about a young man with a vision and plan to help change the world and accomplishing that goal makes it all the more special. Humanity at its finest. Thank you sir.

We could make plastic out of biodegradable oil instead of petroleum…

Sensacional 👏👏👏

Thank you for being in our world Boyan !

Dude, you're my hero. Unfortunately, 99% of all Earth's population doesn't care about anything but their family and relatives.

And here my friends is the huge difference between a yelling, angry and jaundiced girl and her followers (Greta and Fridays for future) AND this ambitious young man:

There are people who only ask for a solution and rather prefer getting drunk and probably high on a friday noon with their homies AND then we have someone who identifies a problem and works on it. Just imagine what would happen, if those millions of young shouting protestors would gather any idea they provide. we would be so much further... and crowdfunding should be no problem for them, since e.g.: each person provides € 50,- x 100.000 people= € 5,- Mio . now imagine 1 Mio people

it could be so easie peoples.

Remember his name!!!
He is a legend.

He deserves a nobel!

So if we do nothing it will take longer for oceans to automatically get rid of the plastics than it will take Voyager to reach Alpha Centauri

Запретить пластик!

Disgusted by the world's lack of respect for this young gentleman.

I'm here 10 years later doing this as a school project!

He gives me hope — all these millennials on tiktik 🤦‍♀️

You are doing what needed to be done thanks.

One of the few Ted speakers who actually has something to show that is concrete and measurable. He deserves a Nobel.

Now if we could just stop poisoning children with vaccines

Genius

He should be on Shark Tank, everybody would finance his company.

THANK YOU

And yet Greta von doomsberg is hailed as a climate change hero...while doing absolutely nothing to help

If he got a haircut I might donate but you can't trust a grown man with a young boy's haircut like that, sorry. He looks like a little young teenager from 2006.

👏👏👏👏

I am a big fan. What a brilliant human being making incredible things possible! I have been following this project since I heard about it in 2019. This kind of innovation is what the planet needs. We must fix the problems we cause to heal the only planet designed to support us!

Wouldn't it be easier to put nets at every countries river's that lead to the ocean ,sea???

Congratulations of interior de São Paulo- Brasil 👏👏👏 . Quando era criança era tudo de Lata...

HAY ESPERANZA PARA NUESTRO MUNDO !!!!!

Thanks bro.!

Thank you 🙏

Boyan огромный молодец! Я поддерживаю его ценности и делаю все, что от меня зависит - хожу за покупками со своей сумкой, придерживаюсь принципов рационального потребления и разделяю отходы🙌🏼
From Russia with love❤️

Mlk emrola mais q minha vó q é cadeirante

Oh good information

'Useful'

Good idea! I think it could help the environment

I may know how serious this problem is for our humanity

Many people should do this project

У такому юному віці людина вирішує глобальні проблеми людства! Респект та повага!

He makes the world but also the the netherlands proud what he is doing

Amazing person and presentation. Shouldve got a more intelligent audience than those
