Just Clean it up

Just Clean it Up

I always liked this photo because this little boy is showing exactly how far the trash can flow. I chose to write about this pressing need to clean up the ocean for this planet to continue to produce vegetation like it was before many people and their inventions, destroyed it to make life easier for all.

There have been many people who have come up with a way to clean up the Ocean, but I do not know if any of them have done that much about it, because the swirl keeps growing every month. It seems to look like this needs to have all people on board to make it happen.

The way that I would clean up the ocean is to hire Swimmers, Technicians, Shippers, plus Oceanographers. There also needs to be a place where the garbage can be dumped once it is removed from the oceans. The landfills are a good place to start. The country of Sweden is one country that uses waste and turns it into energy. They also use plastic to make clothes, shopping bags, benches and use it on buildings and in sidewalks, etc. They have little to no garbage in the landfills, so instead of using composts, they use the old factory furnaces to burn almost everything. I would follow in their footsteps because they have found out the way to handle it. They use 100% of their waste and help the environment, the land, animals, and water. It's a great way for us to heal American land. Cleaning up the Ocean will help the sea Animals live and produce more food.

They use every bit of their trash, so my idea would be like theirs.

The middle is where most of the plastic debris swirls and falls to the bottom in a circular motion like a torpedo swirl. There will have to be deep-sea divers at the bottom to start to clean up the floor. Once all is cleaned up, it should be taken to several ships to hold and then delivered to landfills to separate, into different piles. When all material is loaded onto the trucks, they will drive them to old factory furnaces in their area, the remainder will fill abandoned wells and sinkholes. There will be enough dirt to fill those because they are all over this country.

The bio-degradable materials will be separated from the plastic, aluminum foil, and all other materials that cannot be dissolved will be burned in the furnaces. This, in turn, will create jobs for people in the long term. Also, there wouldn't be Bears and other wild Animals in Cities where they never roamed before.

Semi-trucks could transfer the materials to the furnaces and start the process. These would run all day and night until the garbage is under control.

This is exactly how I would do it this way because, compost takes too long, and there is too much trash to prolong the problem any longer. It could be taken care of faster when enough people are hired.

It would be good for the economy. There are plenty of ways to clean the landfills and the swirl of the ocean of garbage. so we can clean up this country and have it for years to come.

This is how I would do it. I would have to create a company, to get it started, and the Head Quarters should be in a warm area, as in the South or West. The government may have a grant for this kind of program. The current administration might be open to really find a solution.
