Robotic or automated environment clean up. Open source. Fish plastic out of the sea. Oil out of water. Things like that.
Solar powered (or wind etc) little machines that communities can buy (e.g. the local surfing club) and we can let lose into the problem area.
- joeyspn 11y agoAlong with clean nuclear fusion (already well funded), this is another great idea. I think there are already a couple of big projects working on this... http://www.theoceancleanup.com/ http://www.theoceancleanup.com/
- monk_e_boy 11y agoA little robot that would patrol a beach picking up small plastic bits 5mm - 15mm in size would be amazing. There is so much of that crap on our beaches. It's crazy. Also making a robot move on sand, rocks, pebbles, keep out of the way of people and dogs. Navigate sand and rivers and the tide. It's hard for people to do, we see people fall over, or get wet feet from a big wave washing up the beach or get cut off by the tide quite often.
- rorykoehler 11y agoI have been thinking robotic environmental cleaning a lot over the past years too. Along with raising awareness this is critical to implement in order to get back to a point where existing pollution is negligible.
