Two Australian surfers just came up with a really neat way to help clean the ocean [View all]

It's called the Seabin, and it's the brainchild of Andrew Turton and Pete Ceglinski. They call it "a simple solution to our oceans' pollution."


Here's how it works.
Water and trash flow through the bin. The trash gets caught in the bin, while the water gets pulled up through a pump on the dock. Then a water pump separates oil from the water, and the water flows back down where it started, sans trash.



The trash is collected by simply pulling the Seabin out of the water and dumping it out.
