plastic bags than fish he told the bbc in an interview that was the moment when i realized it was a huge issue and that environmental issues are really the biggest problems we are facing like many of us slat heard about various great rubbish piles the world over and he figured that someone was working to solve it during his research after the trip he learned that there were a few clean up ideas out there but most of them relied on nets to filter 过滤 the plastic out of the water those nets also scooped up 舀起 a lot of fish turtles and other sea lives so he worked on developing his own solution i finally decided to focus all my school life on developing this idea i wasn t sure if it would succeed but i thought at least it was worth a try said slat and now despite some scientists denouncing his idea he sets to start his rubbish collecting booms 水栅 after a two year study just six years from his greek dive to solution the 320 million donation to his cause seems to have been worthwhile investments according to slat s current estimates his booms will collect about half of the pacific ocean rubbish piles in five years the design works through massive floating booms sitting on top of the water and acts like a minicoastline just like beaches collect our plastic waste the boom can passively gather plastic waste and pull it to its center once a month or so a boat would go and collect the rubbish it s a huge job with some of the rubbish up to 40 years old but slat has used computer models to determine how much his booms can collect and he believes that he can take tons of plastic waste every year 解题导语 boyan slat 去希腊潜水旅游时发现海洋垃圾污染严重 因此 他决心 为打捞海洋垃圾做出自己的贡献 1 when did slat realize the serious pollution in the sea a when he went to a dutch school b when he had a diving in greece c
