Dredging the ocean can come after we stop putting trash in it.

It must be both simultaneously. You don't ignore a patient with a gunshot wound by telling everyone, "Ignore the dying man until we ban guns!"

    I'm sick of metaphors.

    By TeamSeas account, they've removed 9,286 metric tons of garbage from the ocean since 2021. We collectively put 11,000,000 metric tons into the ocean every year. The Teamseas method of removing one pound of trash for every dollar would require 250 million USD every year. That's not sustainable for a charity to run on indefinitely.

    We should be switching to biodegradable paper or recyclable aluminum. I'll have to look closer the next time I'm in a convenience store, but it looks like MrBeast's chocolate bars are packaged in plastic. We already know how to package chocolate in paper.
