- This novel 3-D animation dives into how our consumption of plastics has affected marine species deaths and increased human health risks, and it explores possible long-term solutions. Motion graphic artist Andreas Tanner uses his compelling infographics to educate viewers on all aspects of plastic production, consumption, and breakdown. “Due to particular currents in the Pacific Ocean, a new continent has been born: a mass of plastic waste the size of Europe.” Tanner also offers ideas for alternative and sustainable buying habits to reduce our reliance on plastic.

Really wish people were more aware of this and overall marine ecosystems. So much of our lives revolve around the sea, yet we do so much to harm it.
I agree
Joker what's a heretic?
You do it to
You can tell that to my Asian parents
We all must do our part to spread the info
Look at what we done.When I grow up I hope I can make a product that can help this problem and GO GREEN ♻️
I dont understand why that types of spots are not on TV
I'd rather see that instead one of coca cola
Its a great spot you learn a lot
Giovanni Sacoto because people like the government don’t want people to know this is happening
They don't want things to rise out of control.
time will tell
But as you see big companies do not want us to know it and it is them who have media as they have enough money to buy them.
Its bcz your
TV is plastic
Cable is plastic
Computer is plastic
Mobile is plastic
Food is in plastic bags
Drinks in plastic bottles
Sofa is plastic
Furniture is plastic
Clothes are plastic
Shoe's are plastic
Toothbrush is plastic
Glasses are plastic
Media gets Advertisement revenue from the stuff you could buy. Not from plastic pollution awareness camps.
@@MM-dj9ss companies*
Thanks the production team for this video.
As a student, I was awaked more by videos like this on social media- reality, news- out of theoretical knowledge. Hope everyone would spread this
Feeling grateful to all people who are trying to save the oceans. May there be more like you here on Planet Earth.
"Pay attention to packaging" yeah! Im looking at YOU Morrisons. With your individually plastic wrapped banana's.
This. Is. Terrifying.
It is terrifying, but I am happy that after years it is on mainstream media(national geographic is quite known) and that it is explained well.
And true
It is bad for the planet
Can someone explain to me what did he say at 0:17? They found 30 meters of what?
@@christinakln5287 tarpaulin, its like a waterproof plastic thing ppl use to paint on or make dens.
We need to make this our #1 priority! If we don't get this solved soon, then it will be harder to fix, and other priorities such as war, debt, or technology couldn't matter less if we are all going to die.
Well, perhaps we should use algal oil instead, since it's not really that big of a food source and we could grow it in limited space. It would also help if people considered using reinforced paper as a substitute for plastic. Besides the problem of getting soaked, paper is often a lot stronger, and can be made from pretty cheap food wastes, like peanut shells.
I don't want turtles to become extinct. They are one of my favourite animals.
That is the least of your worries in 2050.
@@Just_Stop wait what do you mean?
World of Wildlife and Greenery The number of people living in cities will likely triple. The air could be thick with pollution, worsening lung conditions and respiratory diseases. More than half of the world's population may not have adequate access to water. The types of fish we eat could become extinct. Millions could be without food. The rain forests could face total annihilation. Superbugs could kill 10 million people each year. Diseases will spread with ease. The number of people living with dementia will likely triple. Hurricanes could become more frequent and more severe. Rising water levels could flood major cities across the globe. Large-scale blackouts could become commonplace. Oil could become prohibitively expensive. Look it up, I am not making this up. We can change it but it will take a lot. I have started recycling and looking at what I but EVERYONE has to.
@@Just_Stop yeah that's true
Nobody wants that
This helped me a lot on a classroom debate about if plastic bags should be banned.
I think they should show a spot like that in the TV. every time you see some nonsens advertising in TV so why cant you show a spot Like that, also because it will only change if the people change and that you can achieve when many people get informate about it and the best way To do that is show it in during primetime in TV!! This should be more important then some coca Cola spots or so. If i had some money i would do that.
They won't, and National Geographic won't even let you share the TH-cam video about it either. Even though the end of the vid says thanks for sharing it... doh!
systemdeadlock They've let me share it on Twitter, Pinterest, FB and in emails - no problem so far. Do you know how sharing works?
Goldie Graham No apparently you are the only one
Everyone can make a small change to make a BIG difference by ending single-use straw use www.skipthestraw.com
THIS SHOULD BE AN INTERNATIONAL THING ON EVERY CHANNEL!
some people say that the world has survived through many things and it can take care of itself but what they don't realize is that we are beginning to out weigh the earths abilities and resources. We are the most amazing creatures on this planet. Maybe the reason we are here now is because the earth got to a point where it realized it needed something like us. Now it needs us to take care of the earth. It is clear that we have invented so many things to improve the environment so why aren't we making it a priority? I know we are just so distracted and fascinated by all the new cool technology and entertainment innovations but life is about balance and you can't take more than you give forever. It's time for us to put our toys down and clean up. Tomorrow we can play again as long as we remember to clean up.
PREACH
Because some of them are not really smart
you should write a book
seriously
To dr
TL DR
I wish people could actually look around and see what’s going in this world. Instead of trying to be a instagram dancer trying to twerk and “slay their edges”’or say the word “pEriod” . This world is just sad 🤦🏾♀️...
This was so inspiring and quite frankly it scared me a little to know how much harm is being done to our oceans
Thank you for working to help solve the plastics crisis.
Wow such a simple clear way to bring about the point...
dang its 2020 now and we still havent done anything scene 2014
Thanks for making this film... We hope it Makes A Difference!!
Here's the thing:
Our 'demand' for plastic products is based on economic factors. It's cheaper for industry to use plastics. What's yet another dangerous substance or consequence when everything revolves around profit?
Its comical how we are all worried about Wars and disease, but those are just part of the fundamental factors of life. What will truly lead to our demise one day are the silent killers that are cumulative over years.
It’s incredible how it has to negatively affect us humans for people to care
I will share this with my CCD class. I hope 17 children will share it with their parents, siblings, and it will grow...
This makes me feel so sad.... It gave me tears...
interesting video. which application or software do you use to make these 3d animations?
Amazing documentary. Please watch this and share!
so informative - thanks!
This really opened my eyes
In my country Vietnam, I tried to look to recycle and there are no place to recycle. It is so hard to recycle here.
This video is really very helpful to everyone of us.
Nice thank you for that Video i will do my A-Level presentation about plastic in oceans
Thank you - useful educational tool
Amazing sound effects
Change needs to be done at the governmental level. Frankly many consumers don't have the option to buy plastic free. Many junk foods wrapped in plastic are much cheaper than fresh fruits and vegetables that are no packaged in plastic.
Beautiful animation.
Thanks a lot.
It is tragic that considering all of the so-called "progress" we have made, most amazing innovations seem to end up being toxic to our environment and ultimate every living thing in that environment. In the early age of what developed into the kind of industrialized society we have, there wasn't the science to determine toxicity. After a number of years we became aware that we were poisoning our environment. You would think that we would want to stop this type of progress and develop non-toxic manufacturing or "just say no" (remember that one. Didn't work on drugs so why would it work now?) We are being poisoned. Our entire planet is being poisoned and we must do something about it. I am guilty of always taking plastic bags instead of paper while leaving my cloth bags at home that I have paid good money for! Go figure! I am aware but I am too thoughtless to do anything about it. I must stop!!! I don't need plastic. The least I could do is recycle the plastic I do use. I ashamed!
Lets go Eco and safe the planet lets recycle more !!!
🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍
Its to late 😔
i am writing a story on plastics at the beach for a course I am taking..I would like to ask for permission to post your video ?
marianna kalaitzidaki I don’t think the person would mind only because you would be shearing the vid. So as long as you aren’t saying you created it or getting payed for it I think it’s fine
@@MM-dj9ss was about to say the same thing
do you have any english subtitle for this video ? I'm really need it.
The earth is neither round nor flat. ..it's squared
Wow that inspired me
But then it is flat becuase the sides of a square is flat
Cubed* you uncultured swine
no it's plastic and poison
Excellent video, should be broadcasted to kids in the morning
. Plastics are simply chains of like molecules linked together. These chains are called polymers. This is why many plastics begin with “poly,” such as polyethylene, polystyrene, and polypropylene. Polymers often are made of carbon and hydrogen and sometimes oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, chlorine, fluorine, phosphorous, or silicon.
I Save this video. Thank You
To save our lands we are destroying the oceans. We have to find some solutions otherwise the day will be near when their will be no more sign of marine species. Spread awareness among the people and make your contribution towards saving the marine lives and human lives too.!!
Doing it would help'. looks a little inpossible with the way things run. evil controls the earth and more proof of that is showing up in our back yards. also minds and brains
The animation is amazing for almost a decade ago
Very great!
This makes me sick to watch this.
It makes me very angry!
lol
then don't watch it
It is ironic that daily vlogs videos on TH-cam gets more views than this.
this is great!!!!
Nice Animation!!
love it
cool!!
Good afternoon, we would like to add a caption in Serbian/Montenegrin/Croatian to this video in order to spread it in the Balkans. Could you please authorize us to do so? The settings selected seem to have blocked that option, thank you, Alexandra
Everyone should see this video to really think about how our earth is changing.
That made me think 2 on what I eat and do
just when we were getting the Lead out lol.
what about farmed fish and seafood? are they likely eating lots of plastic too? this video is terrifying and world leaders should be doingA WHOLE LOT more to put an end to single-use plastic for good.
The worst that we have been fighting this for decades.
I'm just happy a mainstream outlet is standing up to something and attempting to wake up those still in a comatose
YES !
Excellent film on plastics in our #marine environments. Please watch it and act on the recommendations! Learn more: itsaplasticworld.com/
i love the animation
Human world is a very strange place our purpose in life is all about consumption production money where the universe is so huge And the worst part is life is cheap on earth plenty of unhealthy products on the shelves
In some city's you have to pay extra or you just can't get plastic bags so that there is less waste.
3:56 is he now saying to replace croft bags for plastic bags?
Why no closed captions? Even auto generated would be better than none.
Can we add any chemical that make plastic use as fuel like patrol diesel and etc
En nuestro canal tenemos una explicación completa en español 🔎
0:44 The Minecraftans and Cube Earthers have been truly praised
lol
I'm teaching about this in school to 4th-6th graders. I live in Israel, the #2 or #3 country for single use plastic, (I'm so disgusted by it!). I want to show them this video but why is there no option for subtitles in other languages?!
cool graphics
I really wish we were more aware of the marine system. I don't want marine creatures to be extinct.
true
YOU SHOULD MAKE A VIDEO GAME THAT LOOKS LIKE THAT
Dont know how people can say we are selfish when we were not even aware of it!!
Ty for posting, I buy glass bottles whenever possible, it urks me to pick up after all the trash creators driving & walking around. We need to ticket them 100 fine
May i have permission to put this video into an ad?
This is so terrifying😨
That is devastating
I'm eating plastic for my breakfast
This place just better without human inside
I eat fish at least twice a week... Damn... Maybe we should vote for someone who will actually do something about this problem?
When did ur vote change anything.. Keep thinkin.
oof
Right
ok one thing is humans aren't selfish we just need be careful and for the people who do say we're selfish 😤were humans we can fix it😑
Research glittering
wow cool animation tough
I share this on Tweeter
I got some of my friends to see this
You can make plastic out of leftovers of the wood used in the paper industry.
I know this isn’t about the whole topic, but is this an app? If yes, what is the app?
There should be 100% ban on plastic rest of medical equipment.
The real problem is people who throw plastic away without thinking and dump it in the ocean, woods, roadsides, just anywhere...
plastic from hemp oil..
+Mike Bova THANK GOD someone suggested hemp! Its the only answer!
as a species we are next-----and we deserve what we get
Annnnnd... now Im not hungry.
Refuse reduce reuse reject plastics
Can someone explain to me what did he say at 0:17? They found 30 meters of what?
30 square meters of tarpaulin
Best thing about plastic is it is durable , and the worst thing about it is also same
People will learn the hard way eventually...
"But it's cold outside."
:( I don't know how to recycle plastics in a right way. Where should I put bottles?
Blue bins
