19-Year-Old Develops Ocean Cleanup Array That Could Remove 7,250,000 Tons Of Plastic From the World's Oceans

I am surprised how a 19 year old boy, Boyan Slot, planned an "ocean cleanup array" that will help remove 7,250,000 tons of plastic from the ocean. His inspiration to do something for our environment,  amazes me, i am surprised how his research lead him to winning prizes. I think its cool how he wants to launch his invention but i believe that the funds for his project will be an obstacle. I encourage him to continue with his research so it can help remove the plastic toxics that get in our food chain. I like his idea, but i would also like for him to do a small replica of his project and experiment and observe how much can be clean within a time period. I am still surprised that a boy his age with great inventions wants to help our environment.
