Here in South Africa we need to pay for every plastic bag we get in the store so people save and reuse them every time they go shopping. It saves so many bags. Like that lady said we buy one thing and they put it in a bag that we use for 30 seconds and then throw it away. It's such a waste/

what? you got a problem with pot heads? id rather hang with "pot heads" than with alcoholics. fuck recyclable plastic. the worlds health is at stake here. either get over marijuana smokers or just fuck over our oceans. whats it gonna be?
I live in Adelaide South Australia and our state recycles everything. We have 3 garbage bins, one for general household waste another for green waste, like lawn clippings etc and another for paper,plastic, glass, cardboard, tins and everything that can be recycled. We also have recycling depots that pay 10 cents for every can or bottle that you bring in. This has brought down our waste incredibly over the years. If we can do it in little old Adelaide i don't know why we all can't do it. We also make people pay for shopping bags, so now most people bring their own shopping bags and they are material ones which can be reused over and over
I was getting a 'found footage horror movie' feeling from when everyone was introducing themselves in the beginning :) awesome documentary as always, Vice-
Usually Vice videos are good, but this one did not live up to their great reputation! The guy with glasses just talked about himself for most of this three-part series. I feel like I learned more about him than I did the Garbage Patch.

And this video perfectly illustrates the problem with environmentalism today. Glossary explains in plain language what something is, and they don't understand. Worrying about plastic in the oceans (which is problematic), and saying that when you throw a plastic bag away it's ultimate destination is the ocean. Storing all of their food, more or less already prepared, in plastic bags. I fear that this expedition just doesn't understand the sheer scope of magnitude of what they are working with, or where most of that plastic comes from; which is developing countries that lack proper waste management or recycling of any kind. The world is a place where manufactured plastics have done much for humanity, but it was a trend that happened faster than methods of dealing with it were developed. Thankfully, nature seems to find a way. There are bacteria that have evolved in the last 50 years to digest certain hydrocarbon based polymers like nylon. You can expect that the biodegradability of plastics will go up substantially as more colonies of bacteria find that having a method of breaking down these substances is beneficial to their survival. This is not, however, an open invitation to just discard trash in the oceans. Maybe we need to be shooting it into the sun, where we could literally drop all of earth into the star and it wouldn't even notice (although this would raise the cost of waste management considerably).
Thank you for continuing to highlight this issue. Haven't watched 2 and 3 yet. But, hope there is both clean-up action recommendations. Perhaps, the world collectively focuses on cleaning up this 'island' to engage with our future. On the prevent side, why not take some forcing actions? No BPA, all consumer plastics must be recyclable, No more plastic bags at the grocery store, only recycled paper bags for a all grocery store garbage, etc. Keep up the wonderful work even though it is so disturbing.

The Earth as a whole has always acted as the creator, arbiter, and player of the natural selection evolution game, and the Earth also provides the stadium, as itself, in itself, for the game. If plastic really is a threat to the Earth, it was an intentional threat. Maybe it's a self test. The Earth created us, with a selfish mind of our own, to create plastic, to see how it can incorporate this bizarre material into the evolutionary game. Something unimaginable. A fish that can eat and digest plastic, converting it into a more manaeable form of waste for the eco system.
In 2007 I was a tourist travelling on a small boat from the tip of java, indonesia to sight see krakatoa a new volcano between sumatra and java. A enormous tanker crossed our path ,maybe 1 mile into the distance. when we approached the wake of the vessel we entered a spill of garbage more than one hundred metres wide. This spill continued for miles in the wake of that tanker. I would suspect Asia dumps a lot of waste It is charged with disposing off in the oceans. somebody elses problem. When the malaysian flight mh370 was reported missing . Spotters reported objects floating in the water. But identifying debris became confusing . So much Is dumped in the southern Indian ocean . The search was made more complexed as a result. So looking for signs of a plane were not as straight forward as was first thought.
I can't, he's spreading disinformation, attempting to sound knowledgeable when he clearly is not. Chances are his entire little story above is complete bullshit, and he's doing it for attention. Calling someone out on their bullshit isn't being a bastard, its limiting his spread of stupidity.
I wrote about this in one of my College classes and could not believe what I saw when I went to the garbage patch site! Sea life, turtles ,dolphines, whales+ more eat this stuff or get caught in it and die! There has got to be something that can be done to get it out of there 2 save the ocean and its life in it. I could not believe it had been there for so long. It totally changed my ways of buying things in the store and my way of living.They need to send a huge vessel out there to clean it up.
Humans: create a non bio-degradable plastic that ends up back in our drinking water, making us impotent. Earth 1. Humans 0. Well played Mother Earth, well played.
No, actually pigs do not sh*t in their own pen, given a chance. But hey, when someone locks you up in a small space, you gotta go somewhere. Humans are truly the biggest pigs on this planet :(
Anyone remember this monolog from Agent Smith in the matrix? "I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet."
***** Sadly I have to agree with Agent Smith. I am amused when I hear politicians, scientists etc talk about the changes we need to make to preserve our species. As a species we are incapable of putting aside our own selfish desire to multiply exponentially, so all their talk is moot.
Year 3000: garbage fills up the entire ocean and pollution alerts reached the maximum level. Humans are dying rapidly each day. NASA discovers habitable planet. Unfortunately too late to leave Earth. Earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, are forming on every part of the world. Alien comes down from unknown planet and puts all of us in his UFO. Takes us to the habitable planet and we start a new life. On the outside Earth lost his blue color, it's now dark and grey. What we used to know of Planet Earth is now called Planet Garbage.
I'd like to think that no alien life form is stupid enough to rescue a species stupid enough to befoul its own habitat and resettle it in another to start the process all over again. Malevolent enough? Maybe. After all, we act like a goddamned virus sometimes.
The term “plastics” includes materials composed of various elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, chlorine, and sulfur. Plastics typically have high molecular weight, meaning each molecule can have thousands of atoms bound together. Naturally occurring materials, such as wood, horn and rosin, are also composed of molecules of high molecular weight. The manufactured or synthetic plastics are often designed to mimic the properties of natural materials. Plastics, also called polymers, are produced by the conversion of natural products or by the synthesis from primary chemicals generally coming from oil, natural gas, or coal. All plastic elements came from the earth and will go back to the earth in time.
The most important information available today. Should be mandatory viewing for every man woman and child alive today 5 years old and older. We should all refuse to buy anything made of plastic, Styrofoam, plastic bags, ...
Should probably start with the source or it will never stop. 1st world countries need to help the poor countries set up waste collection facilities. 90% of the plastic waste in the world's oceans come from just 10 rivers. 8 of which are in south east asia and 2 in africa. even so, the problem of dumping waste into riverbeds is huge even in smaller rivers, anywhere there is poverty or a 3rd world. Even Brazil's river was disgusting at the last olympics. Almost every river in Indonesea has poor people who do not have adequate or affordable or any waste collection just dump their trash into empty river beds and wait for the monsoons to wash it to sea.
With Vegemite... Don't think of it as sweet like Jam, think of it as being like Beef Jerky. Imagine you are spreading beef jerky over your bread. And don't eat it off a spoon.
I love how the VICE crew use a DISPOSABLE STYROFOAM cooler when loading their food for the trip. WTF. This show is about teaching people to be mindful of their impact....AND YOU USE STYROFOAM..... WTF ...REALLY
I know right. WTF. You would think they would be environmentally aware. That just shows how bad the problem is....people don't even realize when they are polluting.
highjacking your thread 1st world countries need to help the poor countries set up waste collection facilities. 90% of the plastic waste in the world's oceans come from just 10 rivers. 8 of which are in south east asia and 2 in africa. even so, the problem of dumping waste into riverbeds is huge even in smaller rivers, anywhere there is poverty or a 3rd world.

Did anyone stop to think that the all the hurricanes/tsunamis/massive floods have maybe washed most of this trash into the ocean? Just the tsunami that hit Japan in 2012 alone could had easily a trillion tons of trash. I mean look at how many ships just from WW2 alone have gone down. Not to mention cruise ships. I actually expected far worse. I know people are careless, but I'm not sure this was done intentionally in entirety.
+Eye Washere Well, a tsunami wouldn't move the plastic much. First of, the waves only get large when they can't be contained over a great depth. This means that they grow and break when they get close to a beach and is the reason why fishermen and people on boats away from the beaches survived the tzunamis. Thus, the force that would move the trash and swirl it around don't happen in the middle of the pacific ocean by a tsunami. Second of all, a wave dont move the particles it goes through, only get them to swing back and forth, colliding into their neighbors and thus extending the wave. Further more, plastic are long polymeres and these are generally lighter in density than water and don't solve in water at all. Because of this they float. Sorry for bad english, not my primary one.
I was just recently on a cruise in rough seas and i was wearing transcop patches for almost 9 days straight (three patches). Not only does it totally mellow you out and dull your equilibrium but one evening without thinking i applied one patch and rubbed my eye. For the next 12 hours that pupil was blown to MAX (just under dime size) and i couldn't feel anything and the eye wouldn't move as far as my other one when doing vision tests. No perm damage but yeah... wash those hands after.
Ya that’s what is the important thing to worry about, language! It’s just like americans who freak out and give adult ratings to movies that might have a message of sex or gay behaviour but allow children to see anything with extreme violence in it. Is it any wonder why they’re the only country in the world that values weapons more than life and all based on imaginary beliefs! If you wanna show this to kids simply bleep the swearing and that way they’ll hear a few less swears that day.
I recycle my plastics bottles etc and all my other plastic goes in the bin which goes to the tip. Yet there are millions of tons going into the ocean. Who is doing this.
recycling anything but aluminum is a joke. you're actually causing more emissions recycling plastic than having it dumped in a land fill. think about it. it also wasted millions of dollars in revenue.
Recycling is not a solution, only totally refusing is (and that wouldn't mean going back into the middle ages as there are alternatives to every aspect of plastic). The big problem with the plastic is as it slowly degrades, it produces microplastics (the same one used in the cosmetic products that is being flushed - REFUSE IT) that has the ability to absorb all of the toxins from the oceans (pesticides, oils...) and when digested by marine life (fish...), if consumed by humans, it harms our body a big time by means of mimicking the hormones and causing damage (cancer...). So, whenever you are using plastic bag, straw, or anything made of plastic at all, you might be contributing to your own, or the disease of your closest ones.
That scientist lady stood out from the rest as the only personalty who was focused and really knew what she was doing during this adventure. Everyone else seem to just be taking a tour.
I regularly clean up sections of roadside, about 200m each time. Each time I can fill every available space of my car with bags of plastic trash, bottles, cans, wrappers that have been dropped on the ground by the ingorant and careless. The majority of the trash is plastic which subsequently washes into creeks, rivers and finally heads out to sea.
This journalist needs to exercise a little self control with his foul language, I'm no boy scout but this is a documentary on a serious issue.. have a little professionalism and contain yourself.
We are never going to do anything with Mars. There was the same hopeful talk before and during the Apollo missions to the moon & all these things we were going to do that never developed, never happened.
Bhahahaha I remember they played this at our school and they didn't watch it before playing it so that when the guy kept saying "fucking" it was funny af BAJAHAAAAJAAHAHAHAH
Tibor Roussou Well, there is a way. Look at this site. Biggest crowdfunding campaign in history. They still need people to fund, 20 days left. Check it out, many videos and reports about it and then you can decide if you believe in it and want to help or not www.theoceancleanup.com/
VICE , thanks for helping in making me aware of this mega problem, i am not a fan of plastic abuse, so many waste without realizing this end result so this should be shown in schools everywhere....
The choices are given by the company creating the products. But who is dumping mass garbage into the ocean? I think the government is doing it. Who else has a barge load of consumer trash?
The consumers are also at fault. If there were no drug addicts would there be dealers? Also, it is more of a combination of bits and pieces of rubbish being added by everyone rather than 1 person dumping.
I use cloth bags at the store, they are awesome bc you can carry the bag on your shoulder and no waste. Also if I just buy a few items I refuse to take a bag. You'd think stores would get rid of bags all together and just make people bring their own bags/ boxes. The bags I may end up with I bring to my local thrift store to reuse, hopefully the person who gets it will bring it back. Whenever I buy at the thrift I always tell them no bag bc I'll just end up bringing it back..it's all easy things we can do to cut down at least a little bit..I think ultimately plastic should not be in use anymore, there has to b something else we can use, for instance I've seen now in my local store water in a box, like a milk carton..
When hipsters go to sea: how to whinge about everything ever. This could have been a good documentary but these vice people are utterly painful to watch and listen to. If your actually in to the environment and science I suggest not even bothering as I have learnt nothing new except that I would of turfed the guy with the glasses overboard.
Can someone explain to me why this problem even exists? We have inland landfills for trash that is not recycled... Who the fuck puts that amount of garbage in sea?
Borna Koohbor Thats why landfills are specially constructed to prevent any garbage to go into rivers or lakes - usually not built next to large water objects and have filtration layer to prevent harming groundwater layer. While wind can blow some trash in wild or in rivers, or sea, the amount is insignificant and usually trash is rather compressed and mixed with some soil and the whole place is fenced, so uinless winds are extreme, no trash should exit the territory. Also all landfills in here produce electricty, gas, and heat from unrenewable trash, so landfills are not the problem. Seems like some evil companies dump trash right in the ocean.
Great video, thanks. We need to take action, but firstly we need to not Blame, but take responsibility, take action and walk the walk. It may not seem like it when we are on any sort of mind created mission (and yes they are all worthy) but love and compassion are the answer. Try it in everything you do and see what happens. You will become clearer and make likewise choices.
I know how we can clean this plastic. We shall not produce any one time use bottles and plastics and we shall blame the governments and all plastic industries (the industries that are putting bpa in the plastic) and take a large thin net and clean the ocean.
A heavenly amount of plastic is def coming from japan and America it amazins me to see how 1st worlds countries are more likely to do more polluting that any of the other countries around the world . I blame our 1 class society for being to lazy and not doing their share to keep our environment clean (sighs) when are we eve going to learn before its to late.
Don't blame just America and Japan because we're technical societies. Third world nations dump a lot of crap including plastic and oil into the oceans as they have no EPA. Indonesia is the most densely populated nation in the world and it's entirely on islands. A lot of crap flows from them and southeast Asia, not to mention China and North Korea. And just TRY to get them to stop dumping.
True, but nowadays the rest of the world is catching up fast. And it's completely unregulated there. When I first visited India, in 1991, people in the South were eating out of banana leaves, and on the train, tea was served in clay cups and snacks in little bowls made of dried leaves. People could throw them out of the window with no problem. Now they do the same thing with plastic cups, plates and bottles. Plus all the water bottles from the tourists....
Thanks for the effort to make this film and we all know more and more needs to be done about this devastating problem. You inspire us all to do our bit and that is what it is going to take to stop the production of this poison.
It would be great if I could show this to my elementary class. Too bad its full of curse words. When trying to educate society keep in mind the use of profanity stops us teachers from using your content in our classroom.
Wow, man. I didn't realize you were such a scaredy cat. You have a chance to change the lives of those children for the better and you're afraid of a little financial hardship? You've basically doomed those kids to a future of giving hand jobs in the alley by the local virtual reality cat arcade/porn emporium, just to get a single hit of some future space-drugs. For shame.
Normie Peasant Your comment is probably the most immature and ignorant in the entire comment section. Give your head a shake and get a real sense of humour, man.
Remember It's 2019 and the USA still denies climate change 🤣🤣🤣, do you think anyone cares about the earth let alone the ocean? 😂😂😂, that's a good laugh.
Thank you for showing how far the indifference to our planet has gotten. Thank you. I hope to see captions in Spanish my peeps, oh oh thanks to Dra Laura Rios Mendoza and her beautiful Spanish and research.
I found this video to be quite informative, but unfortunately I am not able to show this to my students because of the inappropriate language. Maybe start with cleaning up your language first so that a younger audience (our future) could benefit from your message.
You could use a stopwatch and mute at that point in video :) . Also, there's many videos on this topic online and it's a good idea to educate yr. students. Hoipefully they'd start using less plastic.
Why doesn’t every country in the Pacific keep one (1) large plastic recovery vessel that constantly, 365 days a year, goes out, picks up a ship full, and brings it back to land where they will hopefully will recycle it. Just one boat per country, USA, China, Russia, Japan, South Korea, Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, and so on and so forth. All chipping away at it. It’ll take years to get it all, but it didn’t get that way overnight. I assure you. It’ll work! Also, how about all fishing nets should get serial numbers threaded throughout, so it’s way too much trouble to cut them all out, and make fishermen register their nets! It would work!
There is a young man who found a solution to this plastic mess, and his video is on youtube also, title: 19 year old solves ocean pollution in 5 years or something I will try to find the link! Anyways, it can be done, and he even proved that it can be made profitable. Brilliant human being.

I live in Adelaide South Australia and our state recycles everything. We have 3 garbage bins, one for general household waste another for green waste, like lawn clippings etc and another for paper,plastic, glass, cardboard, tins and everything that can be recycled. We also have recycling depots that pay 10 cents for every can or bottle that you bring in. This has brought down our waste incredibly over the years. If we can do it in little old Adelaide i don't know why we all can't do it.

This type of kid that was picked on in school and now he thinks he's some Grand intellectual that deserves some special entitlement, tell him to take his pasty butt back to his cubicle and his GMO food
LIBERAL reporting
The Earth as a whole has always acted as the creator, arbiter, and player of the natural selection evolution game, and the Earth also provides the stadium, as itself, in itself, for the game. If plastic really is a threat to the Earth, it was an intentional threat. Maybe it's a self test. The Earth created us, with a selfish mind of our own, to create plastic, to see how it can incorporate this bizarre material into the evolutionary game. Something unimaginable. A fish that can eat and digest plastic, converting it into a more manaeable form of waste for the eco system.
Im convinced Thomas Morton is the best reporter on VICE
A must see video by all races! Thank you for this. Now its our time to act.
@ Dan hall Thanks for showing the readers that ur the perfect I. E. of a unhappy man. Live a life dude🤙🌊🏄♂️🏝
In 2007 I was a tourist travelling on a small boat from the tip of java, indonesia to sight see krakatoa a new volcano between sumatra and java. A enormous tanker crossed our path ,maybe 1 mile into the distance. when we approached the wake of the vessel we entered a spill of garbage more than one hundred metres wide. This spill continued for miles in the wake of that tanker. I would suspect Asia dumps a lot of waste It is charged with disposing off in the oceans. somebody elses problem. When the malaysian flight mh370 was reported missing . Spotters reported objects floating in the water. But identifying debris became confusing . So much Is dumped in the southern Indian ocean . The search was made more complexed as a result. So looking for signs of a plane were not as straight forward as was first thought.
Krakatoa was "a new volcano" in 2007?... hmm ... the stupidity of this statement kind of invalidates everything you say after it.
I can't, he's spreading disinformation, attempting to sound knowledgeable when he clearly is not. Chances are his entire little story above is complete bullshit, and he's doing it for attention.
Calling someone out on their bullshit isn't being a bastard, its limiting his spread of stupidity.
Hahaha, your comment is so nonsensical, I cannot counter it, you win sir!
I see humans...but no humanity...
Failed attempt at being deep.
This is humanity , what we are doing is humanity
unless you're not using plastic, you're part of the problem
VICE, usually known for being short and to the point. Those 20 minutes could have been wittled down to a couple minutes.
I wrote about this in one of my College classes and could not believe what I saw when I went to the garbage patch site! Sea life, turtles ,dolphines, whales+ more eat this stuff or get caught in it and die! There has got to be something that can be done to get it out of there 2 save the ocean and its life in it. I could not believe it had been there for so long. It totally changed my ways of buying things in the store and my way of living.They need to send a huge vessel out there to clean it up.
Humans: create a non bio-degradable plastic that ends up back in our drinking water, making us impotent.
Earth 1. Humans 0.
Well played Mother Earth, well played.
wrong.
Earth -1. Humans -1.
Earth -1. Humans -1. Cthulhu +1
Universe: 1
Magical land-1 Earth-0 and whore island-9000000000!!!! Pingassshhhh
fucking stupid comment its corporations and their reptilian insane agenda of ecosystem extermination NOT the earth producing this junk
Man is the only species who sh*ts in his own nest.
Pigs... Do i need to say more?
No, actually pigs do not sh*t in their own pen, given a chance. But hey, when someone locks you up in a small space, you gotta go somewhere. Humans are truly the biggest pigs on this planet :(
Anyone remember this monolog from Agent Smith in the matrix?
"I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet."
***** Sadly I have to agree with Agent Smith. I am amused when I hear politicians, scientists etc talk about the changes we need to make to preserve our species. As a species we are incapable of putting aside our own selfish desire to multiply exponentially, so all their talk is moot.
***** Sadly when the shit does get real, it will be too late.
Year 3000: garbage fills up the entire ocean and pollution alerts reached the maximum level. Humans are dying rapidly each day. NASA discovers habitable planet. Unfortunately too late to leave Earth. Earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, are forming on every part of the world. Alien comes down from unknown planet and puts all of us in his UFO. Takes us to the habitable planet and we start a new life. On the outside Earth lost his blue color, it's now dark and grey. What we used to know of Planet Earth is now called Planet Garbage.
I'd like to think that no alien life form is stupid enough to rescue a species stupid enough to befoul its own habitat and resettle it in another to start the process all over again.
Malevolent enough? Maybe. After all, we act like a goddamned virus sometimes.
pretty much the setting for Wall-E
mattmatthew You see where I was getting at!
Hah! Wishful blissful ignorant thinking. We will not be saved
The saddest part of all this is that we know it is wrong and with our free will, have decided to keep doing wrong anyway.
The term “plastics” includes materials composed of various elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, chlorine, and sulfur. Plastics typically have high molecular weight, meaning each molecule can have thousands of atoms bound together. Naturally occurring materials, such as wood, horn and rosin, are also composed of molecules of high molecular weight. The manufactured or synthetic plastics are often designed to mimic the properties of natural materials. Plastics, also called polymers, are produced by the conversion of natural products or by the synthesis from primary chemicals generally coming from oil, natural gas, or coal.
All plastic elements came from the earth and will go back to the earth in time.
Interesting topic, but it felt more like a holiday video diary. More content please
Thanks vice for this inspiring video. We should go out, my treat. Guys only ok, no chicks.
Wow
yeah yeah that's right.
The most important information available today. Should be mandatory viewing for every man woman and child alive today 5 years old and older. We should all refuse to buy anything made of plastic, Styrofoam, plastic bags, ...
+pas9ify good thinking
Yes, Awesome idea! Also while we are at it, lets make posters and protest against the plastic industries or take the owner and hold him hostage.
You better be fixin' to live in the wild off the land. Because, just like the poison, sugar, plastic is everywhere, and in everything!
Should probably start with the source or it will never stop. 1st world countries need to help the poor countries set up waste collection facilities. 90% of the plastic waste in the world's oceans come from just 10 rivers. 8 of which are in south east asia and 2 in africa. even so, the problem of dumping waste into riverbeds is huge even in smaller rivers, anywhere there is poverty or a 3rd world. Even Brazil's river was disgusting at the last olympics. Almost every river in Indonesea has poor people who do not have adequate or affordable or any waste collection just dump their trash into empty river beds and wait for the monsoons to wash it to sea.
Plastic gets buried under dirt. Go film at a garbage dump and change my mind if im wrong. I will never hear from you basically.
With Vegemite... Don't think of it as sweet like Jam, think of it as being like Beef Jerky. Imagine you are spreading beef jerky over your bread. And don't eat it off a spoon.
Would have loved to show this to my students. I assumed this was meant to educate but the f-bombs in the first few minutes killed it for me.
This should be mandatory for everyone to see.
I love how the VICE crew use a DISPOSABLE STYROFOAM cooler when loading their food for the trip. WTF. This show is about teaching people to be mindful of their impact....AND YOU USE STYROFOAM..... WTF ...REALLY
What about the plastic cameras their using.Lol
I know right. WTF. You would think they would be environmentally aware. That just shows how bad the problem is....people don't even realize when they are polluting.
David Smith i personally wish i could start a recycling plant.
you can ....do it !!!
everything starts with an idea....next comes action. :-)
I planned on showing my kids this but after 3 F bombs in the first 2 minutes, I can't.
Stfu
If this hipster kid calls one more thing ironic I'm going to put a plastic bag over my head.
Make sure the bag doesn't end up in the ocean.
Bon Mot

TheGamingKoopa85
Best reply ever. 🤣
highjacking your thread

Glad to see I am not alone in that thought!!
i thought this was a recent video... its 2018 and nothing has happened to stop this...
What a beautiful planet and this is absolutely beautiful.
Did anyone stop to think that the all the hurricanes/tsunamis/massive floods have maybe washed most of this trash into the ocean? Just the tsunami that hit Japan in 2012 alone could had easily a trillion tons of trash. I mean look at how many ships just from WW2 alone have gone down. Not to mention cruise ships. I actually expected far worse. I know people are careless, but I'm not sure this was done intentionally in entirety.
+Eye Washere Strange that I'm the only person to like your comment when this is actually fucking true.
+Eye Washere Well, a tsunami wouldn't move the plastic much. First of, the waves only get large when they can't be contained over a great depth. This means that they grow and break when they get close to a beach and is the reason why fishermen and people on boats away from the beaches survived the tzunamis. Thus, the force that would move the trash and swirl it around don't happen in the middle of the pacific ocean by a tsunami.
Second of all, a wave dont move the particles it goes through, only get them to swing back and forth, colliding into their neighbors and thus extending the wave.
Further more, plastic are long polymeres and these are generally lighter in density than water and don't solve in water at all. Because of this they float.
Sorry for bad english, not my primary one.
Isaac Thurell Huh? A tsunami carries everything back in the ocean after it strikes, currents bring it in the middle of the ocean afterwards.
where did the ocean get most of the plastic from then?
Now we want to invade Mars !
18:44
thank me later
Wtf....
Thank you
I was just recently on a cruise in rough seas and i was wearing transcop patches for almost 9 days straight (three patches). Not only does it totally mellow you out and dull your equilibrium but one evening without thinking i applied one patch and rubbed my eye. For the next 12 hours that pupil was blown to MAX (just under dime size) and i couldn't feel anything and the eye wouldn't move as far as my other one when doing vision tests. No perm damage but yeah... wash those hands after.
This is Vice at its finest hour. I definitely can't say this all the time
The geek in the glasses needs to quit cussing. He isn't fooling anyone by thinking he's tough
Why would one associate cussing with being tough?
Overcompensation.
meredith is smokin !!
shes hipster prick along with the main presenter.
The truth is Us As Human being Be Killing Ourself smh 🤦🏾♂️ sad but true🙏🏼
14:45 that dramatic zoom really drove the message home.
Am I the only one who finds this reporter strangely mesmerizing and really watchable?
why does this presenter swear so much, 1st minute- so much f ing plastic, no f ing ships. Its not necessary
Totally agree.
I guess you can say we swears like a salior
Cindy Ackerman That’s just you being whiny. it’s just a meaningless word.
Who fucking cares
Ya that’s what is the important thing to worry about, language! It’s just like americans who freak out and give adult ratings to movies that might have a message of sex or gay behaviour but allow children to see anything with extreme violence in it. Is it any wonder why they’re the only country in the world that values weapons more than life and all based on imaginary beliefs! If you wanna show this to kids simply bleep the swearing and that way they’ll hear a few less swears that day.
I recycle my plastics bottles etc and all my other plastic goes in the bin which goes to the tip.
Yet there are millions of tons going into the ocean. Who is doing this.
recycling anything but aluminum is a joke. you're actually causing more emissions recycling plastic than having it dumped in a land fill. think about it. it also wasted millions of dollars in revenue.
Thats what we are planning on doing. We are planning on buying stainless steel bottles instead of buying water bottles.
Everyone wearing synthetic clothes. A little goes to the sea with each laundry.
also the waste waters in the process.
Recycling is not a solution, only totally refusing is (and that wouldn't mean going back into the middle ages as there are alternatives to every aspect of plastic). The big problem with the plastic is as it slowly degrades, it produces microplastics (the same one used in the cosmetic products that is being flushed - REFUSE IT) that has the ability to absorb all of the toxins from the oceans (pesticides, oils...) and when digested by marine life (fish...), if consumed by humans, it harms our body a big time by means of mimicking the hormones and causing damage (cancer...). So, whenever you are using plastic bag, straw, or anything made of plastic at all, you might be contributing to your own, or the disease of your closest ones.
we are literally abusing our only home :(
That scientist lady stood out from the rest as the only personalty who was focused and really knew what she was doing during this adventure. Everyone else seem to just be taking a tour.
I regularly clean up sections of roadside, about 200m each time. Each time I can fill every available space of my car with bags of plastic trash, bottles, cans, wrappers that have been dropped on the ground by the ingorant and careless. The majority of the trash is plastic which subsequently washes into creeks, rivers and finally heads out to sea.
This journalist needs to exercise a little self control with his foul language, I'm no boy scout but this is a documentary on a serious issue.. have a little professionalism and contain yourself.
What's funny?
shut up?
Darth Melons ye man
Smoke another, hate yourself a little more
haha my life is amazing to be honest my fellow friend
Well we fucked up on this planet. let's see if we can do a better job with mars
we'd fuck up mars too lmao They should name earth 'trash' After whats happening to it now
we have fucked up Venus also.
We are never going to do anything with Mars. There was the same hopeful talk before and during the Apollo missions to the moon & all these things we were going to do that never developed, never happened.
Scribbler how have we fucked up mars?
mars? Hell, we never even went to the moon!
Bhahahaha I remember they played this at our school and they didn't watch it before playing it so that when the guy kept saying "fucking" it was funny af BAJAHAAAAJAAHAHAHAH
I forgot they took swearing very seriously in high school lol.
Thomas Morton and Hamilton Morris are my favorite from Vice.
People hate on vice for their "style" but then again who else is bringing this incredibly important story to public? Good for them.
Instead of wasting your time commenting "trash" (no pun intended) why dont you go and actually do something about
AND NOW .......
whats worse then regular plastic pollution?
radioactive plastic pollution :(
Interesting....but fuck it, I'll continue to throw my plastic out.
Piece of shit
lucas matthews
We cannot fix that level of broken : /
Tibor Roussou Well, there is a way. Look at this site. Biggest crowdfunding campaign in history. They still need people to fund, 20 days left. Check it out, many videos and reports about it and then you can decide if you believe in it and want to help or not
www.theoceancleanup.com/
Kevin Goots I remember first seeing him on TED. Yes, I agree, there exists a glimmer of hope ^^
VICE , thanks for helping in making me aware of this mega problem, i am not a fan of plastic abuse, so many waste without realizing this end result so this should be shown in schools everywhere....
This could be one of vice's most important videos, the ocean dies, everything does.
The consumers are not at fault at all. Who is dumping garbage in the ocean?
Kenn Tollens The consumers need to smarten up a bit in their choices.
The choices are given by the company creating the products. But who is dumping mass garbage into the ocean? I think the government is doing it. Who else has a barge load of consumer trash?
The consumers are also at fault. If there were no drug addicts would there be dealers? Also, it is more of a combination of bits and pieces of rubbish being added by everyone rather than 1 person dumping.
Yusef Esser Maggs your ignoring Kenn's point
I ask the same question. If we have landfills inland why there is need to dump shit into sea? Makes no sense.
"Hi, I'm Harry Potter we are here in Long Beach, California..."
Tomasz lol
Garbage island?? No
Small Pieces of plastic in the ocean? Yes
This video is so bogus and such a stretch.
I use cloth bags at the store, they are awesome bc you can carry the bag on your shoulder and no waste. Also if I just buy a few items I refuse to take a bag. You'd think stores would get rid of bags all together and just make people bring their own bags/ boxes. The bags I may end up with I bring to my local thrift store to reuse, hopefully the person who gets it will bring it back. Whenever I buy at the thrift I always tell them no bag bc I'll just end up bringing it back..it's all easy things we can do to cut down at least a little bit..I think ultimately plastic should not be in use anymore, there has to b something else we can use, for instance I've seen now in my local store water in a box, like a milk carton..
Very nice to hear Helios played in this docu! Great choice of music!
Great Vid.... would be better if these kids did not have foul language.
When hipsters go to sea: how to whinge about everything ever. This could have been a good documentary but these vice people are utterly painful to watch and listen to. If your actually in to the environment and science I suggest not even bothering as I have learnt nothing new except that I would of turfed the guy with the glasses overboard.
Crystal Barnes
Damn, well said girl!
Can someone explain to me why this problem even exists? We have inland landfills for trash that is not recycled... Who the fuck puts that amount of garbage in sea?
Because when we put garbage inland, when it rains, the plastic drains down into the ocean
+Reinis Miks waves & wind
+Borna Koohbor good one
Borna Koohbor
Thats why landfills are specially constructed to prevent any garbage to go into rivers or lakes - usually not built next to large water objects and have filtration layer to prevent harming groundwater layer. While wind can blow some trash in wild or in rivers, or sea, the amount is insignificant and usually trash is rather compressed and mixed with some soil and the whole place is fenced, so uinless winds are extreme, no trash should exit the territory. Also all landfills in here produce electricty, gas, and heat from unrenewable trash, so landfills are not the problem. Seems like some evil companies dump trash right in the ocean.
Nelson Dacosta
How do f-ing waves get to landfill....
I love vice, vice is bad ass and true, keep up the good work guys and girls, thanks.
Great video, thanks. We need to take action, but firstly we need to not Blame, but take responsibility, take action and walk the walk. It may not seem like it when we are on any sort of mind created mission (and yes they are all worthy) but love and compassion are the answer. Try it in everything you do and see what happens. You will become clearer and make likewise choices.
I know how we can clean this plastic. We shall not produce any one time use bottles and plastics and we shall blame the governments and all plastic industries (the industries that are putting bpa in the plastic) and take a large thin net and clean the ocean.
pick it the fuck up ............while your looking at it ? ? ?? ? ?
lazy fucking governments and companies dont want to spend money on cleaning but they will spend money on oil.
Hey, could we recycle Thomas Morton's potty mouth?!
A heavenly amount of plastic is def coming from japan and America it amazins me to see how 1st worlds countries are more likely to do more polluting that any of the other countries around the world . I blame our 1 class society for being to lazy and not doing their share to keep our environment clean (sighs) when are we eve going to learn before its to late.
Don't blame just America and Japan because we're technical societies. Third world nations dump a lot of crap including plastic and oil into the oceans as they have no EPA. Indonesia is the most densely populated nation in the world and it's entirely on islands. A lot of crap flows from them and southeast Asia, not to mention China and North Korea. And just TRY to get them to stop dumping.
it's everyone. humans are awful
MsLetter8 i'd prefer to see it as, "it's everyone and maybe we should all pitch in to clean this shit up."
True, but nowadays the rest of the world is catching up fast. And it's completely unregulated there. When I first visited India, in 1991, people in the South were eating out of banana leaves, and on the train, tea was served in clay cups and snacks in little bowls made of dried leaves. People could throw them out of the window with no problem. Now they do the same thing with plastic cups, plates and bottles. Plus all the water bottles from the tourists....

Thank you for mentioning freaks and geeks one of the greatest shows ever!
Thanks for the effort to make this film and we all know more and more needs to be done about this devastating problem. You inspire us all to do our bit and that is what it is going to take to stop the production of this poison.
It would be great if I could show this to my elementary class. Too bad its full of curse words. When trying to educate society keep in mind the use of profanity stops us teachers from using your content in our classroom.
+Elliott Snider Just show it. They're going home and watching Game of Thrones on their iPhones anyway.
That's probably true but i'd rather not get fired over a youtube video.
Wow, man. I didn't realize you were such a scaredy cat. You have a chance to change the lives of those children for the better and you're afraid of a little financial hardship?
You've basically doomed those kids to a future of giving hand jobs in the alley by the local virtual reality cat arcade/porn emporium, just to get a single hit of some future space-drugs.
For shame.
There's plenty of other/better videos on this toic online.
Normie Peasant
Your comment is probably the most immature and ignorant in the entire comment section. Give your head a shake and get a real sense of humour, man.
Remember It's 2019 and the USA still denies climate change 🤣🤣🤣, do you think anyone cares about the earth let alone the ocean? 😂😂😂, that's a good laugh.
its Trauling, not trolling.
Interchangeable terms, actually.
*****
you've never seen the volume of trash pouring out of India and China.remember there are more people there than all white countries put together.
*****
yes, its not a difficult concept to understand.
*****
thats not how ocean currents work.
Moon rise and sunset. A beautiful sight.
Thank you for showing how far the indifference to our planet has gotten. Thank you. I hope to see captions in Spanish my peeps, oh oh thanks to Dra Laura Rios Mendoza and her beautiful Spanish and research.
I found this video to be quite informative, but unfortunately I am not able to show this to my students because of the inappropriate language. Maybe start with cleaning up your language first so that a younger audience (our future) could benefit from your message.
Yep. It defeats the purpose if it can't be used in schools or to educate the younger generation. Very disappointing, Vice
+Ms. Cathy Cho-Chu Its freedom of speech...Its 2017 get used to it.
You could use a stopwatch and mute at that point in video :) . Also, there's many videos on this topic online and it's a good idea to educate yr. students. Hoipefully they'd start using less plastic.
His language and f bombs take away from the story.
unwatchable.... presenter was so unlikeable only a mother could love....
There’s tons of stuff to do that can refuse the use of plastic now. It’s not entirely avoidable, but it is possible to cut down drastically.
Why doesn’t every country in the Pacific keep one (1) large plastic recovery vessel that constantly, 365 days a year, goes out, picks up a ship full, and brings it back to land where they will hopefully will recycle it. Just one boat per country, USA, China, Russia, Japan, South Korea, Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, and so on and so forth. All chipping away at it. It’ll take years to get it all, but it didn’t get that way overnight. I assure you. It’ll work!
Also, how about all fishing nets should get serial numbers threaded throughout, so it’s way too much trouble to cut them all out, and make fishermen register their nets! It would work!
Why do you need to use vulgar language on a documentary? You just lost a viewer after 1:48. Goodbye.
God damn, u little touchy bitch
Because he Just found out how vulgar the world is
Bye goof
Pussy alert
Thank you for making a great thing unwatchable for my young kids with all of your cussing.
AllCoupedUp no problem
Kids are exposed to so much worse, and you're worried about cursing.
th-cam.com/video/GLgh9h2ePYw/w-d-xo.html
Fav vice reporter love him so much
hes a prick
This documentary is so professional in a bad way
There is a young man who found a solution to this plastic mess, and his video is on youtube also, title: 19 year old solves ocean pollution in 5 years or something I will try to find the link! Anyways, it can be done, and he even proved that it can be made profitable. Brilliant human being.
