Encouraging a number of efforts helps ensure a healthy market of ideas and information sharing to search for the best solution. Sea Life Advantage Efforts to clean plastic out of the ocean can have detrimental effects on sea life. These include killing plankton caught up in the system and larger animals being fouled in the the 100 km booms proposed to catch the plastics. Arguments also question the impact of plastic on death rates. Solvency Building a platform in the middle of the ocean to collect 50-80% of the plastic floating in the ocean is a major logistical challenge. Issues that must be accounted for include ocean depth, strength of the seas and storms, impact of sea life interacting with the machine, and how to pay for the set up. In addition, the effectiveness of the system is questioned since plastics can sink, the oceans are big, and experts don’t believe a passive retention system can work. Overconsumption Kritik Argues that technology silver bullets to fix our destruction of the planet are bad since they allow humans to continue consuming items that hurt the planet like plastics. Instead the kritik calls for us to individually reduce our consumption and says if we don’t the oceans will be destroyed. Plastic Bags Counterplan This counterplan is designed to cut down on the flow of plastic into the ocean. Both the Plastic Transition Disadvantage and the Social Services Disadvantage could be net benefits as well as any argument about how the ocean clean up would hurt the environment. Ocean Clean Up Coming NowNonprofit organizations are being set up in the status quo to create sustainable solutions to ocean clean up using gathered plastic for fuel.Sesini, Masters in Green Management, Energy, and Corporate Social Responsibility at Bocconi University, 2011 (Marzia, “THE GARBAGE PATCH IN THE OCEANS: THE PROBLEM AND POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS“ http://www.seas.columbia.edu/earth/wtert/sofos/sesini_thesis.pdf) Best Practices - Private/Nonprofit Partnerships¶ Moreover, in an effort to implement best practices collaborative private/nonprofit partnerships have been created to help reduce and prevent marine debris. Project Kaisei, a nonprofit organization that organizes plastic cleaning expedition in the Pacific Ocean, and Covanta Energy, a Fairfield-based company that owns waste-to-energy power generation plants, under the auspices of the Global Clinton Initiatives (GCI) partner up to clean up the ocean debris starting with the plastic in the North Pacific Gyre, with a yearly conversion target of 50 tons of marine debris into renewable energy.¶ Covanta Energy uses the debris collected by Project Kaisei to “test its new waste-to- fuel technology to convert the plastic into a diesel substitute using a catalytic process for converting solid organic materials directly to mineral diesel fuel” (Covanta Energy), and to showcase how waste, and in particular plastic, can have added value if properly recycled. This in the hope that a larger scale cleanup effort will take place, helping protect the ocean and the marine wild life (Covanta Energy).¶ 16¶ Ocean Clean Up Coming Now - Extensions[___][___] Public private partnerships provide a market for testing technology to find the best solutions.Sesini, Masters in Green Management, Energy, and Corporate Social Responsibility at Bocconi University, 2011 (Marzia, “THE GARBAGE PATCH IN THE OCEANS: THE PROBLEM AND POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS“ http://www.seas.columbia.edu/earth/wtert/sofos/sesini_thesis.pdf) Finally, data on the amount, distribution, and especially environmental and economic impacts of such pollution are key in dealing with the problem of plastic end-of-life use and implementing programs, as well as science-based monitoring and consistent widespread sampling. Greater research and new technology development effort are needed to assess next steps, address gaps, and prevent plastic to enter the oceans.¶ As a show case of best practice that could lead the way to greater public awareness on the issue of plastic disposal and recycling. For example a partnership between Project Kasei and Covanta Energy set a goal of conversion of plastic to fuel of 50 tons per year.¶ The hope is that a larger scale cleanup effort, which will help protect the ocean and the marine wild life, will take place as a result of this project. In addition, it is an excellent opportunity for the private sector to test a new technology as a viable solution to address plastic dumping, and to create secure, financial business opportunities and help identifying recycling cost- effective solutions.
