Sea Bin, the Trash Can on the Ocean

Sea Bin, the Trash Can on the Ocean

     While trashes on the ground can be removed with comparative ease, trashes on the ocean are hard to remove. On the ocean, huge amounts of the trashes are floating than expected. By the research, only the plastic garbage on the ocean reached to 8 million tons. These trashes cause the changes in marine lives, consequentially the problems of the marine ecosystem arose. Two surfers in Australia, Andrew Turton and Pete Ceglinski, made a great invention called ‘Sea Bin’ to solve the trash problems on the ocean.

     Andrew and Pete, two inventers of the Sea Bin, loves surfing but it became harder because of the increasing marine litter. Therefore, they decided to handle the litter matters themselves and conducted for about 10 years. Finally they invented the Sea Bin, the trash can which can be installed above the sea. Now they are trying to scale up for mass production via crowd funding. The Sea Bin aims for improvement of traditional way of port cleaning, which costs high.

     The Sea Bin is just a trash can above the sea and it also called dust bean of the sea. It is made of a bucket with long pump and can run for 24 hours with less cost. If it is installed on the ocean, it inhales the trashes and oil. Additionally, the function of separating oil and seawater can be added. It draws in seawater, then separate oil from seawater and emits only the clean seawater. The surprising thing is that Andrew and Pete tested it for 4 years and during the testing, any fish and marine animals never came into the Sea Bin.

     Including the Sea Bin, news about handling marine waste are rising. It shows that the ocean is the important role of the environment. The Sea Bin only works for the harmful trashes, plastic and oil, so it might be the best way of eliminating trashes over the whole world’s ocean. Thus, the Sea Bin should be come into wide use. 

The Earth is Suffering of Waste

The Earth is Suffering of Waste

           As humans are living longer, world population rapidly increased. At the same time, economic development improved people’s quality of lives and access to luxury foods and goods, such as seafood and beef. By consuming goods and foods have been increased, wastes increased as well. The garbage disposal issue is a real headache to all countries. Consequently, environments are harmed by overexploit, and natural resources are becoming scarce. Humans should feel responsibility of ensuring a sustainable future and endeavor. Environment contamination can be improved by government controls and reducing disposal product.

           Government should flag up the seriousness of pollution all around the world, and make laws of waste emission. For example, government measure the amount of waste output, and impose a large duty on the company which emit too much or harmful waste. This law is going on, but government should strengthen the regulation and punishment. Government also can make encouraging policy such as incentive to cut back the waste. If the waste emission decreased over last year,  

           It is important that all citizens also do their part to take care of environment. They can protect the environment by reducing disposal product, such as plastic bag and cups. These days, disposal products are extremely used. Even if you buy one thing, it would contain disposable product such as vinyl wrapper. People should carry eco-friendly stuffs such as lunch box, tumbler and bags.

           In order to reduce environmental pollution, both government and citizens have to take action, such as enactment of law and habit of using renewable products. People should protect the earth not for them, for their next generations. Remember that even a little effort can save the environment and do the easiest thing you can do.
