Le Soleil se trouve à la base de toutes les énergies. Il produit la chaleur et la lumière nécessaires à la vie sur Terre. Ce rayonnement solaire est utilisé pour se chauffer et pour produire de l’électricité.
Les rivières et les fleuves sont une source illimitée d'énergie propre ! L’énergie hydraulique utilise la force de l’eau en mouvement pour produire de l'électricité, au moyen de turbines idéalement placées.
Le vent est une puissante source d’énergie, et l’une des premières à avoir été utilisée par l’Humanité. Il fait naviguer les bateaux à voile, voler les cerfs-volants et tourner les moulins. Aujourd’hui, on s’en sert aussi pour produire de l’électricité.

Dutch inventor Boyan Slat founded The Ocean Cleanup at the age of 18 in his hometown of Delft, the Netherlands
The Ocean Cleanup, a non-profit organization, is developing advanced technologies to rid the world’s oceans of plastic.
INVENTIONS:
OCEAN SYSTEMS
Going after the plastic in the garbage patches with vessels and nets would be costly, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and lead to vast amounts of carbon emission and by-catch. That is why The Ocean Cleanup is developing a passive ocean cleanup technology, that moves with the currents – just like the plastic – to catch it. By deploying a fleet of systems, The Ocean Cleanup has estimated to be able to remove 50% of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch every five years.
INTERCEPTORS™
The Interceptor™ is the first scalable solution to prevent plastic from entering the world’s oceans from rivers.
It is 100% solar-powered, extracts plastic autonomously, and can be placed in the majority of the world’s most polluting rivers. Together with corporations and governments from all over the world, we plan on tackling 1000 of the most polluting rivers all over the world in the next five years.
The Ocean Cleanup is a project; it is our ultimate goal to reach a 90% reduction of floating ocean plastic by the year 2040.
SCULPT THE FUTURE FOUNDATION
Since October 2009 communities in Guatemala have completed 28 successful bottle school projects, at an average cost of $6,500 per classroom.
