Let's clean up the ocean together! We know it's important to have dreams. However, to make the dreams come true is not an easy thing. A young Dutch man Bryan enjoys working hard to make his dreams come true.
Bryan was 16, he went diving (潜水) in Greece. He was shocked to see plastic bags than fish in the sea. Bryan made up mind to clean up the ocean. However, everyone told him that there was nothing he could do to plastic bags from going into the ocean. But young man didn't give up. He spent several months studying plastic pollution. Finally, he came up with a science project using floating barriers (漂浮的栅栏) tothe waste. That is to say, instead of using nets and ships to collect the plastic bags, the barriers can make the plastic bags come together the help of natural ocean currents (洋流) and wind. What's more, the collected plastic can be recycled and made into products or oil.
Bryan won prizes for the project, but that was not enough for him. He wanted to make it a reality. In 2013, he set up The Ocean Cleanup. Together with scientists, engineers and volunteers, the young man is working to clean up the ocean. This will help make our world a better place.
