On 22 June 2016 The Guardian reported: A bid to clear the Pacific of its plastic debris has moved a step closer with the launch of the biggest prototype clean-up boom yet by the Dutch environment minister at a port in The Hague. On Thursday, 23 June, the 100m-long barrier will be towed 20km out to sea for a year of sensor-monitored tests. If tests are successful, it could be deployed at a larger scale in the 'great Pacific garbage patch'. A fully scaled-up barrier would be the most ambitious ocean cleansing project yet, capturing around half of the plastic soup that circles the Pacific gyre within a decade. That at least is the plan. Global Good News service views this news as a sign of rising positivity in the fields of science and government, documenting the growth of life-supporting, evolutionary trends.
