YouTube star MrBeast and a massive team of volunteers successfully removed over 60,000 pounds of trash during a monumental four-day effort to clean one of the “world’s dirtiest beaches.” [03:16]
The video documents the immense difficulty of the task, showing the team tackling mountains of plastic and debris, including entire car bumpers, demonstrating the severity of coastal pollution. However, acknowledging that this is only a fraction of the global problem, MrBeast officially launched #TeamSeas. [03:33]
This campaign, a follow-up to the successful #TeamTrees initiative, brings together hundreds of content creators with the audacious goal of raising funds to remove 30 million pounds of trash from the world’s oceans, rivers, and beaches. [04:06].
The campaign is structured on a simple premise: every $1 donated removes one pound of trash from the environment. Funds raised will be split to support crucial conservation efforts worldwide, including:
- Funding global volunteer beach cleanups. [04:12]
- Literally fishing trash out of the ocean.
- Deploying trash-eating robots in major rivers that flow to the sea, collecting garbage 24/7. [04:24]
