"We are not comparing the two, however, it is only an eye opener how the world falls blindly over a herd mentality by appreciating a video that apparently went viral organically, Vs completely overlooking the efforts of another boy who toiled his way over past several years to actually provide the world with real solutions to tackle with environment menace."
What a fantastic effort, and all done without media hype.

Small plastic single use water bottles are the worst contributor to plastic waste, far worse than plastic bags that are often recycled for collecting household rubbish. Small plastic single use water bottles are dropped everywhere, thrown out of car windows and when empty easily blow into the creeks, rivers and sea. They float around for a long time and take a long time to breakdown with UV.
The small single use plastic water bottles are the favourite of the younger generation, however manufacturers are reluctant to stop making them due to the demand and profits. Theres nothing worse when sailing at sea than seeing these things bob all around the oceans.
