More than 7 tons of plastic waste has been collected from Hungary's Lake Tisza as part
00:08
of a historic clean-up competition.
00:11
The teams, called Pet Pirates, sailed on the artificial lake's high seas with kayaks and
00:16
makeshift boats to gather the waste.
00:19
The more plastic they accumulated, the closer they inched to winning the Pet Cup.
00:24
At least 3 tons of waste is on the boat that everyone is carrying in a life-jacket.
00:29
And all this waste has been collected since this morning.
00:35
While the collected waste is sorted by colour and material, volunteers are always amazed
00:41
by the kind of trash they find.
00:46
We found a small motorbike.
00:49
There was a lot of trash on the motorbike.
00:51
It was pulled apart and dried up.
00:53
There was a lot of trash underneath.
00:55
The Pet Cup started in 2013 with the aim of ridding Hungary's most magnificent natural
01:01
wonders of garbage.
01:03
Pet Pirates will captain clean-up operations at the polluted Bodrog floodplain in August.
