Hi everyone, in one more weekly blog post I will share with you a news, which I was so pleased  for its benefic-purpose for our so damaged natural environment    - including mainly there, all the worlwide oceans - It is the ray-robot designed by 19-year-old dutch engineering student Boyan Slat, awarded for the best technical drawing of 2012 by Delft Technology University - The Netherlands. For me, a brilliant young inventor with a so privileged mind, amid so catastrophic forethoughts about our beautiful house -  the Earth.

  In fact, the ray-robot is still a prototype, but its functioning is a perfect new invention for withdrawing plastic residues from the ocean. The ray-robot works like a funnel, attracting for the angle of its stems, the ocean plastic filth, then leading it to the processing plataform, where the rubbish could be separated from plankton ( tidy marine organisms that  serve as food for several other sea creatures) and stored for future recycling. Moreover,the ray-robot device is also able to analyse the quantity and size of the ocean plastic residues. In order to minimize the environmental effects of the ray-robot's building , a team of fifty engineers works together on technology's feasibility and intend to implant solar panels so that the system gets to catch the energy of the waves and oceanic currents to keep the robot working. No prevision for actual use, says Boyan in his site - (boyanslat.com) -  that is intended the ray-robot to take away from the ocean about 7.250.000 tons of plastic residues in only five years. Could the ray-robot  take away a little more than 7 millions  tons of residues from the ocean? I hope so, It'd be a great contributing invention for all mankind as regards ocean pollution.   Talking more about oceanic pollution, below It is a picture that stands out which is called "Pacific Vortex", the biggest concentration of maritime rubbish all over the world, just to mention the facts about this "dump" outdoors,  It contains 4 million tons of bottles and packs, addding up to 700.000 squared kilometers of neglect, adrift, carried by the maritime currents all the time.  So, It's high time to prevent our dear planet from complete  ocean destruction, since a part of humankind is not worried about our living together in this common environment called "Blue Planet", because what concerns it, It's simply the profit, the sellings, the wealth, at all costs, including this cost your  survival and our  survival  as humankind  in a future  planet with not only oceanic pollution but all sorts of pollutions. Then, think twice before you throw that plastic bag away at the sea and even at your own street ground. We should avoid the pollution of  the oceans starting with actions on our own account,  simple  actions like refuse plastic bags and adopt reusable bags.  Here's a link to "Great Pacific Garbage Patch" on Wikipedia, which tells more about the detalis, tecnical informations  with respect to the Pacific Trash Vortex : (wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pacific_Garbage_Patch).

   And to finish my blog  post up today, I want to let you a reflection message by Boyan Slat as well as his video for a talk given at TEDXDelft:

  And now, the Boyan's message said in the video for the talk: (and remember: THINK OVER about its content!) Bye bye, see you next week!!! ;)
