    Nonprofit environmental organization the Ocean Cleanup has announced that it’s on track to eliminate the Great Pacific Garbage Patch by 2034.

    If it can get the necessary funds, that is. In a press release, the organization claimed that eliminating the patch once and for all would cost a whopping $7.5 billion

    The title seems rather misleading. “We’re on track if someone just gives us 7.5 billion USD” is a really big if. It doesn’t seem like they are close to raising those kinds of funds either.
