MrBeast and Mark Rober led a four-day cleanup of the world's dirtiest beach, removing over 60,000 pounds of trash across two locations. They're raising money through Team Seas, where each dollar funds one pound of ocean cleanup, with YouTube matching the first $400,000 to support volunteer efforts and develop trash-eating robots for rivers.
This is one of the dirtiest beaches in the entire world. And we're going to pick up every single piece of trash on this beach, starting with this water bottle. One out of millions of pieces of trash. We did it. This will take forever. Bottle me up, baby. I'm hungry for your plastic. As you can see, this is taking forever. Oscar, come on in. This is Oscar, professional beach cleaner. Is this basically how you guys clean beaches?
Mainly the big stuff first, and then we bring a lot of people with sips as well for the small stuff.
You scoop it into this thing and then shake it You pick out the sand and you got a bunch of trash. This right here is the first bag of trash. Hundreds more to go. How do we do this quicker?
We just need more people.
That seems simple. Can you clap for me? There you go. All the volunteers.
Hey! OK, guys, we're going to clean this up using the bags. We're going to clean this up. Groups of 4. Groups of 4 in this area.
Part of me wanted to see if me and the boys could clean up this beach by ourselves. And the other part of me realizes that would have taken a year.
I could have told you that.
Jimmy. Yeah? The ocean's putting more trash on the beach. There's so much underwear in the ocean. I'm enacting a new law. Thou shalt not throw your underwear in the ocean. Wait, did you guys already fill up a bag? Yeah. You guys are better than us. They are professionals, to be fair. After 12 hours of cleanup, this is what we managed to achieve, which isn't enough. Boys, bring it in. Tomorrow I'm going to bring in 10 times the volunteers. Tomorrow. Tomorrow. It's now the next day.
I'm helping. Nah, nah, nah. As slowly as possible. Who's more bueno, Mark Rober or MrBeast?
Me, Daddy Beast. Make sure you watch until the end of the video to find out how we're going to pick up 30 million pounds of trash. Thank you for coming to our country and help us with this initiative that is really awesome. Right here. Right there. Stop. He's not stopping. I'm going to move. And this bad boy is 6,000 pounds of trash. And now we have 36,000 pounds pounds of trash, which weighs the same as 3,000 cats or 3 T-Rexes, whichever you prefer. While I was talking with some of the locals, they mentioned that there's a beach down the street that was also very dirty. So I sent Nolan with a bunch of volunteers to go clean that beach as well. There's a whole car bumper.
There's a car bumper here.
Did this come out of the ocean? People litter weird things.
What type of trash have you seen along the beach?
Most importantly, most commonly is plastics. And we see that in every form on the beach here. They ended up removing 12,000 pounds of trash, which brought us up to a total of 50,000 pounds of trash from just 2 beaches.
Beaches. Check out this power move. Watch this. Look at that.
Is that how you want us to dump it?
Yeah, dude, I'm taking one for the team. I'm a team player. Oh yeah, I don't even have to look.
There you go, Mark. It actually kind of works. Yeah, all right. And if you guys look over there, we're actually getting close to the end of the beach. This is what the beach looked like at the start of the video, and this is what it looks like with like 20% left. We're getting there, we're doing it. Unfortunately, between the ocean washing up trash to the beach and rivers bringing in new trash from the mainland, obviously this beach is gonna get dirty again. But with your guys' help, we can stop a much bigger issue.
We're almost done, Jimmy.
I know. 4 straight days of picking up trash. And just like that, we removed over 60,000 pounds of trash from the world's dirtiest beach. And even though this 60,000 pounds of trash we picked up might seem impressive, there is sadly way too much trash still in the ocean. 2 years ago, we crushed our goals with Team Trees and planted 20 million trees. And now it's time to do it again, which is why we, along with hundreds of other creators, are launching Team Seas. And for every $1 you guys donate like this, one less pound of trash will be in the ocean.
But what if I wanted to donate $10, Jimmy?
I conveniently have 10 pounds of trash right here that is now out of the ocean.
Boom. Gone.
You get the point. $1 donated is 1 less pound of trash in the ocean. And I'd like to personally thank YouTube Originals for supporting Team Seas and helping us fund it. They're going to be matching the first $400,000 worth of donations dollar for dollar. And we want to remove 30 million pounds of trash from the ocean.
Which is just so freaking audacious. This only happens if we all work together.
Half the money we raise is going towards funding volunteer beach cleanups cleanups like we did here today all across the world, as well as literally fishing trash out of the ocean.
And the other half will be used for these trash-eating robots that pick up trash 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, from rivers that flow to the ocean.
Go to teamseas.org or click the donate button below this video right now. $1 equals 1 less pound of trash in the ocean. Making real change like this isn't going to be easy. Go donate right now and help us remove 30 million pounds of trash from the ocean before the end of the year. Let's show the world that we want a clean ocean.
¡Está listo! What are you doing? Get out of here, go donate.
