Boyan Slat & The Largest Clean Up in History
FOCUS ON SOLUTIONS — Where focus goes energy flows. I like to share people, practices and tools that will support my readers and engage us in ways we can serve each other and the planet. I live for the greater expansion of all beings and my intention is always to enrich those with whom I meet. So if you are meeting me, let me introduce (if you dont already know) Boyan Slat and the largest ocean clean up mission in history.
Boyan Slat is a young man of the next generations who has dedicated himself to BEING THE SOLUTION not the cause of more futile damage and destruction to our ecosystems. Please give your time to embrace this nobel vision from an inspirational team on a mission to CLEAR THE OCEANS OF PLASTIC that we and few other unconscious generations have ignorantly dumped into the seas.
I suggest watching this awesome explanation and update from Boyan Slat; then you can explore further;
Consciously Respond to what is, don’t Unconsciously React and create more fear…
Out of site out of mind; not for this young pioneer and his team!
The main idea behind The Ocean Cleanup is to let the ocean currents do the work. An installation of U-shaped screens channels floating plastic to a central point. The concentrated plastic can then be extracted and shipped to shore for recycling into durable products.
His idea began from the willingness to make a difference and ACT. Check out his story and dedication. After 4 years and a whole lot of ‘blissipline’ he has created huge waves of potential and possibility. Dreams are powerful when mixed with hard work and clear intentions.
The Ocean Cleanup is designing and developing the first feasible method to rid the world’s oceans of plastic. Every year, millions of tons of plastic enter the ocean. A significant percentage of this plastic drifts into large systems of circulating ocean currents, also known as gyres. Once trapped in a gyre, the plastic will break down into microplastics and become increasingly easier to mistake for food by sea life.
Going after it with vessels and nets would be costly, time consuming, labor intensive and lead to vast amounts of carbon emission and by-catch.
You may have seen his inspiring TED TALK 4 years ago: If not here it is;
“FOR SOCIETY TO PROGRESS, WE SHOULD NOT ONLY MOVE FORWARD BUT ALSO CLEAN UP AFTER OURSELVES.” - BOYAN SLAT
There is so much information, opinions, ideas, potentials, disasters and fears flying around in a storm of confusion; so its important that during these transitioning times we STAY FOCUSED on what we truly want to CREATE.
Many have said it wont work, many will say its a conspiracy, many will sit on their couches doing nothing but seemingly having the answers to everything. The point always comes back to YOU/ME/US/WE — what are we doing to be part of the cure of humanities extinction.
“WE MUST DEFUSE THIS TICKING TIME BOMB” — BOYAN SLAT
I see how species evolve and at the core they move towards survival and solutions. If we focus our loving intentions and actions in these areas, there will be more hope and more truth like free energy and other technology that we can use to support ours and all other species rather than commoditise and kill off humanity.
Most of our main stream media and social media love to share and focus on the doom and gloom; what doesn’t work and how controlled we are. This is understandable because the survival emotion energy feeds of more drama, pain, gossip and suffering. While this is good to know, once we know it, its time to focus on the solutions and boost the energy in the other aspects of reality. Not bypassing but actioneering.
In this 12 minutes video below you see an interview of Boyan sharing his journey with crowd funding and starting the mission and what he says to the nay sayers who say its a silly idea;
“I could constantly defend myself or keep my focus on the solution”
Boyan Slat: Inventor since birth. Founded The Ocean Cleanup at age 18. Youngest ever recipient of the UN’s highest environmental accolade; Champion of the Earth in 2015. Awarded the maritime industry’s Young Entrepreneur Award in 2015 by HM King Harald of Norway. Chosen as European of the Year by Readers Digest in 2017. Member of the Thiel Fellowship.
