- The world is waking up to one of the biggest threats to our planet. Nearly all the plastic that has ever been made still exists and most of it is now floating in our seas and oceans. Leading scientists are frantically trying to understand the problem. Other natural disasters have had decades of intensive research; but research into the effect of plastics on marine life began in earnest just five years ago. The race is on to understand the scale of the problem and find a solution before the life in our oceans is irreparably damaged forever.

Now I'll be self conscious every time I buy something in a plastic container. I'd volunteer in my free time happily ❤
I am in tears over here. It really makes you consider your own buying of plastic. We have to do something about this
Has nothing to do with you buying it, it's how waste management companies are disposing of it. We still have 3rd world S'holes dumping and piping all their waste in to their local rivers and a lot of it flushes in to the oceans.
I could see passion in her eyes, she was hurt when the birds were hurt, and she was happy when she saw people coming together to clean up the environment. That`s the passion and attitude we need in people to fight plastic pollution. A true love for Mother Nature, when we love her, we can`t hurt her
I will do everything in my living power to ensure people around the world are changing their mindset to plastic & waste management. I will not allow my world to suffer & meet its demise by our foolish actions. I ask anyone who see's this fantastic documentary to share this & educate as many people as possible. A lot of people in America have no clue how much garbage is actually in the oceans. If we dont change our ways we will all be goners within a very short time.
Trillions of sea animals have already cruelly died their lives as of humans missconduct. Everyone who is bathing in the sea is adding plastic thru sun cream! Additionally those who litter the beaches….
I feel the same way. I can’t imagine dedicating my life’s work to anything else. There is so much we can do in policy to combat this and I will do everything in my power to see it happen
LIFE IS PRECIOUS
From
the very first day the authorities give these companies the ok to produce plastic,that's when the disaster start like a tiking time BOMB.
Incredible, so sad 🥺😢😐 This topic is a big problem 😢 I feel tired of the human beings 😣😥
Omg that poor bird!
People who care is a huge part of the answer!
She is my new favorite documentary journalist!
Thank you for all the labor, research, and for publishing this.
This is due to corporations and all those behind the making of this global atrocity!
Nobody allowed to post links on TH-cam of course but I just watched a study where they tested almost every kind of seafood 'harvested' from the ocean imaginable. 100% of the samples tested had plastic in their bodies. All of them. They were hard pressed to find any creature that didn't.
We're definitely eating it too, microplastics are in our system now and we don't know what the long term effects are.
It sickens me. This must be stopped now.
Me to.
YEAH!? GOOD LUCK ON THAT ONE?
😢😢😢😢
Crimes against children needs to stop , climate change is because they wont, wrecks a child to offend them 🙄, sherly it's almost over!'
I segregate plastic trash. When we do our marketing in a nearby town much farther than where we live just to bring them in a recycling facility
The veggie peels are mixed in soil as fertilizer. That's how much I have care n concern in our environment
answer me this, why is there sea shells on top of the Himalayas ?! Why is there a chalk layer of sea creatures across every piece of land in the world ?! how can a piece of wood be half wood and have coal ? how come a 1930's hat was turned to stone in a mining cave ?
Big oils companies should be accountable for all this mess
3 words......Too many humans....
3 other words....8 billion people.
What we see now in the oceans is coming from earthquakes and tsunami's all over the world, especially in Japan. Houses were destroyed with all in it, it was dragged by the water into the ocean during the big seaquake near to Indonesia, Thailand and struck also India, SriLanka and even Afrika, ca. 250.000 people lost their lives.
If this does not brake your heart, you are not human.
So, so sad seeing what plastic is doing to the environment. What makes matters worse is the amount of it. I wonder if we can reverse this problem or is it a run away train. Is there a solution to what seems to be an out of control dilemma?
For every problem there is a solution. First: STOP with milk in cartons or plastic cans. Second: STOP with producing plastic bags for yr groceries and bring yr own textile bag with you to the store. Third: STOP throwing away all kind of garbage out of yr car on the street as you visited Macdonalds for example, it would be better to boycot that store, because this food is not good for yr health at all.
the frustrating part is they say plastic consumption is increasing so their building more plastic factories supply n demand i admit to being a consumer
because i have needs and i know people act like im just one person i can't make a difference but i try to do what i can i recycle as much as possible
Maybe some of the accumulation is because of, relief efforts when disaster hit in past , and as you say , they don't have any idea of how to properly dispose of the container!
Amazing people ❤️.To all that are involved in this terrible tragedy from us humans.Thank you isn't enough to say to you all.Stay safe& loads of love ❤️
That poor bird @6:00 😅. Wonder what he told the rest after they let it go.
"Mom! Nana! The aliens took me, they stuck a thing into my gut momma! It was horrible! Aw mahn I puked it all. They got me real good, but I escaped! "
I was born in 1958 and we didn't have this problem because most homes had incinerators in the basement. You would load in anything that could be burned, turn a dial and walk away. Within 15 seconds the burners kick in and for one hour everything was burned into a handful of ashes. But, then the EPA complained about the air quality, the gas company made people disconect their incinerators. After my parents died I modified my incinerator to run off of bottled propane and went right on using it especially for burning plastics!
😢😢😢 we should must awareness about plastic 😢
Like a fool, I wash my plastic bags while my neighbors pour out enough garbage in 7 days to easily fill a 45 gallon rolling trashcan. How can you deal with that consumptive mindset. I told them in restaurant no straw and they asked me why? WHY? Consumptive mindset!!
Yes they are trying to make recycling the way but not all have the facilities to do it!
When I was a child, we went shopping with shopping nets. We had our milk jug filled at the milk shop. All the produce was weighed and we packed it into our nets. Cucumbers and cabbage, herrings and eels were weighed out of barrels and put into paper bags. then came the plastic bag. for us back then, collectibles. When I see the unhealthy and superfluous crap in the supermarkets today and notice again and again that 90% of the goods are edible but unhealthy, then I see the packaging that is increasingly colorful, prettier and more elaborate. We pay for the packaging that we don't want or need. Follow the money - oil industry to packing corporations to food manufacturers. Many supermarkets removed the packing tables and garbage containers so that customers do not leave the packaging in the store. but in Germany it is still possible.
Citarom.. What in the world this place.. What going on dude???so sad n dammed
yes! i forgot if it was hulu or where, the documentary about Petroleum industry and plastic, they actually admit things like instead of dumping or whatever Of Leftover residuals from making cans and bottles, they coat the insides of cans with these residuals bottles? i forget, maybe it was it IS the history of plastic!? informative to know from scratch about plastic
This is crazy we need to stop this mess by boycotting plastic from our lifes

Em qual lugar da Amazônia é isto? Porque o Território da Floresta Amazônica fica na América do Sul, então os únicos idiomas falados são: Português, Espanhol, Inglês, Francês, Holandês e idiomas dos nativos, mas aparece que os amazonenses falam tailandês neste vídeo.
Hard to watch 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Nothing is being done they are building a bigger and better factory, as long as investors keep being greedy, who cares
This is exactly why our God, Jehovah promises at Revelation 11:18 that he’s going to,”bring to ruin those ruining the earth.”
He gave us humans a perfect, beautiful earth and due to man made greed we have gradually filled his gift with our garbage.
Jeremiah 10:23 tells us “ it’s not up to man even to direct their footsteps.”
Man will never be able to undo the damage but Gods Kingdom government will .(Psalms 146:3-5).
Go get plastic . Turn plastic into fuel .

Recycling is the only solution
That’s a lot of work and cute women to
What Can Be Done About The Plastic Crisis? Sending half of it back to China and the other half to India, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand would be a good start.
Aw, come on, you know better than this.
Crisis?? Boy is this pushing “the sky is falling”. The North Pacific plastic dump has been cleaned up. Over dramatizing the problem doesn’t help, spend your time and money creating to technology while educating kids in school. Do something instead of complaining.
Jesus is Alive he love us all you heard the loud voice that you couldn't see get white and look up to heaven
WHAT??
I 100% disagree with this video..., is very clear that the reason of many plastic in the sea it's because they're not recyclable they don't make money so people don't want to gather them.,
It cost too much to recycle so why is it made.... Human is not the the maker of the plastic is the problem..,.
Only 6% of our plastic are recyclable yes and yet they still pass the triangle symbol for recycling which is misleading........
This is a bad show that do not speak properly about the problem......
This is a sugar coating that constantly blames the consumer while the consumer is not inform of the plastic products
Plastic is only made for one condition and it's only to be sold ...... There are only 6% of the plastics are recyclable the rest are not due to cause volume because it can only be recycled in a lab so the amount of money goes to staggering.....
Whoever made this product it's accountable for it
@@jpazvene big oil companies are accountable for all this mess
As a creature on this planet, it would not bother me one bit if the human species was burned off this world.
Research ocean clean up and join forces❤🤍💙
