Review of "19-year-old student develops..."

First off let me just say how amazing it is that this boy is only 19 years old! If he can think of the solution to helping our environment, why can't the government? I mean he thought of something that can get rid of more then 7 million tons of trash! He thought of a way that can separate plastic from the plankton so the fish would not mix them up. It is greta that this method would save money, trash clean ups, and our environment. I do not see why we can't go along with his method, the least we can do is use less plastic.
