 Every year, more and more plastic finds its way into the ocean. Today, about 8 million tonnes of plastic waste is added to the oceans every year with devastating consequences to our fragile marine ecosystem. I think it is important to keep the environment clean because the environment was not polluted before and now because of us It's kind of ruined and it doesn't only affect the environment but all the animals that live in it. In 2017, Porto Montenegro became the first real-world test site for an innovative new clean-up technology, the Seabin, a floating debris interception device that cleans ocean water at a main source of pollution. It's a very simple device really, it's quite clever but it's quite simple and it's basically a bucket with an internal sleeve which goes up and down. There's a pump which pumps the water out and as the water level inside drops the internal sleeve slides down and allows water and trash to come inside. As the pump pumps the water out it then rises back up. Local residents have seen the positive impact of this innovative technology. Since the Seabin is implemented in Porto Montenegro we don't have any more problems, we don't have at all problems with the garbage all over the place. Besides cleaning the water, the team collects data about what they find in the Seabin which supports the Global Initiative.
