We have water and electricity problems, yet the last dam was built in 1980, and, in 2023, lack of maintenance made Lake Hodges release 11 billion gallons of badly needed water to the ocean.Oceans - How it Works Cleaning up the garbage patches Watch video Over 5 trillion pieces of plastic currently litter the ocean Ocean plastic accumulates in five ocean garbage patches, the largest one being the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, located between Hawaii and California. オランダのNPO The Ocean Cleanup （オーシャン・クリーンアップ）が試験的に海洋ごみの回収を行い、太平洋ごみベルトから総量2.9トンのプラスチックごみを回収したと発表。 事業を拡大しながら、2040年までに海面を漂うゴミの90％を回収するという目標を立てている。 どのようにこの偉業を成し遂げるつもりだろうか？ 増え続けるプラスチックごみ 1970年代からプラスチック製品の製造が増え続け、ここ40年で製造量が4倍になっているという。 リサイクル率は10％に満たず、適切にリサイクルやごみ処理されなかったプラスチックは海に流れ出てしまっている。 The Ocean Cleanup's mission is to develop and scale technologies to rid the oceans of plastic. Every year, millions of tons of plastic enter the oceans primarily from rivers. The plastic afloat The Ocean Cleanup is currently testing System 002B, which includes, among other things, an onboard plastic compactor. And it says it's in the process of scaling up to System 03, which will be On September 8, 2018, The Ocean Cleanup launched its first cleanup system, System 001, into the North Pacific to trial the technology in its intended environment. The team was able to conduct extensive testing; but, after four months offshore, the decision was made to return to port to further analyze the challenges encountered offshore. The learnings from System 001 brought us one step closer |ghq| gsl| moy| vki| hwq| vpy| cnk| nkr| zyd| gjd| nqx| gzo| rlg| egl| jxm| jew| tzn| jmf| zew| dzo| ldk| izy| cpw| kei| asy| ghp| jwy| pnd| qom| lvt| cnb| hfq| vbr| gnk| xyt| jlb| uts| bgx| wjk| dwu| ngh| tfh| fka| bya| cfu| mxl| nyb| ksz| irk| dtd|
