In 2021, YouTubers MrBeast and Mark Rober launched the #TeamSeas campaign with a bold promise: for every $1 donated, one pound of trash would be removed from oceans and waterways.
The project partnered with Ocean Conservancy and The Ocean Cleanup to fund real cleanup operations around the world.
By July 2024, the campaign had removed over 34 million pounds of trash, surpassing its original 30-million-pound goal.
It may be small compared to global plastic pollution, but it proved that when millions of people come together—even through the internet—they can make a real difference.
