- Plastic pollution poses one of the biggest known threats to the ocean, influencing all ecosystems from beautiful coral reefs to abyssal trenches, eventually accumulating in our own food. Learn more about how to upend the current system of produce-use-discard, and transition to a system which promotes reuse and repurposing of plastics.

This video is really sad. People should do more about cleaning the ocean instead of fighting each other! We need to clean the planet!
do you include yourself in that or youre just waiting for other people to do it for you?
*proceeds to eat snicker and throws plastic into the ocean*
Like most things humans are involved with. . . it will only be a small number who care, realise, and act. . . and all the others will benefit. . .but still not care much
you are right but the population of world are not agree with you because they are not willing for getting coordination as you think
Cleaning the ocean is not a solution. We need to stop producing plastic. Land or ocean, it is bad for everyone and everything. And we dont even need it. We used reusable material and single use used To be an absurdity... even before Ww2 it wasnt that bad. We destroyed the planet in 60 years or so.
Guys listen up
This was made in 2016
Now its 2021
That was five years ago
Nothing has changed
This was a warning... We still haven't followed it
Lady Lorena theres been way more attention around saving oceans though
Yep
And when the other half of us realize,
Itll be too late
Shut your mouth and yooz it for some thing yoosfull lady lorene🤐😋:O
Disagreed. A whole lot has changed. We now have a worldwide awakening to plastic´s dangers - so we treat plastic products with more caution now.
one person's effort is not enough. we need a concerted and united effort.....
I remember about a year ago, my school held an event for our students to stop plastic pollution in the ocean. It really made me sad to see that out of 1,015 students only 14 showed up. It really shows how much some people don’t care about their environment.
bruh moment
my school is always full of trash
Did u then?
Parents educating their kids is important before we end up like in the movie Idiocracy.
it just that simple just stop throwing trash in ocean and insted throw in trashcan and dumsters or recycle plastic
Let's face it - we are the worst thing that happened to this planet.
ravencraft very true
@@amyhurley4461 that is not what this situation is about
not true, I think the trash is worse
@@owensharpe5709 And the trash is produced by us
True
In my school when you reach grade 8 you have to do a community service project. I am choosing to do it about ocean pollution.
I am going to a few elementary to spread awareness since I personally think that’s all I can do but I hope it makes a difference because I don’t want our oceans ending up as toxic trash waters
I'm currently educating myself on the plastic pollution and it's so shocking how out of control this is and the affects of it as well.
Everyone has that responsibility. We know so little about the ocean, and we need to let more people know. My family has started to reduce unnecessary plastic use. It's easy to do, but very few people do it. Many things can be reused, and I often see tutorials on how to make very interesting recyclables.
Even if you live hundreds of miles from the coast, the plastic you throw away could make its way into the sea. Once in the ocean, plastic decomposes very slowly, breaking down in to tiny pieces known as micro plastics that can be incredibly damaging to sea life.
I hope that one day every little person on the planet comes together and fights for the end of pollution and all harmful things to the world💙😟💙🌎💙
I hope everyone will see this video and be enlightened to protect the Earth.
In the old days (before plastic bags became so commonplace), people were more resourceful and less wasteful. Cardboard boxes were often reused to put your groceries in, fish was wrapped in newspaper and bags were often made of straw or paper.
Whenever I go food shopping, I take a cardboard box off the shelves to put my shopping in. I will then repurpose some of the boxes to be used as parcels.
It’s sad how more people care about other people’s drama than care about saving this earth that we have only once
I am a student from Korea, and I started an environmental project at school. While working on this project, I watched many videos related to the environment, which made me realize a lot of things. Environmental issues are everyone's problem, so I believe everyone has a responsibility. Although the video I watched was uploaded in 2016, there has been no significant improvement in the environment by 2024. Now is the time for many countries to unite and focus on reducing plastic usage and making the environment cleaner.
We see ocean pollution on a daily basis. Picking up the plastic trash every chance we get. It takes all of us to become aware and notice our oceans are suffering. Together we can make a change!
yep
This video is eye-opening! It’s so important that we all take action to protect our oceans from plastic pollution. Thank you, NatGeo, for spreading awareness!
thanks for this video it showed me the importance of environmental pollution
oil industry pollution !
plastics gone too far!
Through this video, I learned the seriousness of the problem caused by plastic
;-; quite sad, more people need to see this...
Biological amen
Hi, LichenRock I saw your comment and I agree 100%
What do you say that together we do something concrete for that and save our planet?
ur right
I am 12 years old, and I love nature. It's my dream to become a photographer for Nat Geo when I grow up.
Honestly I feel like the earth would get a breath of fresh air if the everyone just stopped making plastic
wise words
Then how can we drink coca cola
@@ehkkaif7898 by drinking the ones that come in actual cans
A Dr. Visit, surgery, and all medication uses lots of plastic
I searched for this. I wish youtube would recommend people to watch this.
I wish to, I wish to. and everyone on that bridge didn't really care how that water was RED!!!
I loved this video very much then and I liked too learn something new each time then.
im watching this for a school project
Same
Same
wht school u go to
Same
Same
This worked great for my school project
It's amazing. If I hadn't seen this video, I would never have known the extent of plastic pollution in the ocean. I think it's too difficult to deal with it artificially. We need technology to do it more efficiently. But the point is that we can do better at the source, for example, by wasting less plastic and using alternative products.
environmental education, we need it back in our schools and have to educate the younger generations to stop stripping our education system of the knowledge of sustainability.
I am proud of myself for clicking on this video
Views show...People care more about Kim Kardashian than our earth
niti vaid ik she's not more important than wildlive
Thats sad :(
Yeah stupid actor and artist always want to be famous rich beautiful and stuff
ru serios
@@mariahamdan727 what do you mean please don't mad at me please don't mad at me plzzz just explain it 😫😫😫😫😫:-(:-(:-(:-(
we need more practicals on enviornment protection than on other science subjects in our schools
Save the Ocean is Great 😃
Thank you for helping me on my Essay for Language Arts! You will be credited :)
Let’s save our ocean😊
💙
🌍Save The Planet🌎
I would love to hear what everyone is doing to cut back on plastics! Making as many changes as possible
I've made my parents start using reusable bags and we are gonna have a talk at church when all this rona mess is over.
I don't know what will happen for the next generation .. They may not be able to see how beautiful our ocean ..if people continue throwing plastic into the ocean .. We can make zero plastic in the ocean by starting ourselves .. In this pandemic time.. I lost my job.. So I decided to do a coastal clean up everyday .. Yes, Everyday I do coastal clean up.. So I can help to save our mother earth .. I think Its not too late to give back a good doing to our mother earth. ❤
I have never ever thought these things are happening.I am scared to know about these things.
Nature got us back this year!😢
Save the Earth!!!!!!
O god please save ocean
God is not supposed to save the ocean, we are.
We do not put please in ocean
The Legend Of Boggle ocean is not kill 😠😠😞😞😞😞
We should save ocean because we started it
Anjum Akram Please, find this text in your Bible, book of Revelation, chapter 11 and verse 18 :”But the nations became wrathful, and your own wrath came, and the appointed time came for the dead to be judged and to reward your slaves the prophets and the holy ones and those fearing your name, the small and the great, AND TO BRING TO RUIN THOSE RUINING THE EARTH”. This is the prophecy.
Save Our Planet
Thank you. Building healthy soil and healthy micro-biomes may be the key to recovering the planet.
its like in 10 years are world has gone into chaos we need to heal it
Its sad to see how this video only has 514 views..its shows many people dont care smh
One of the reasons I clicked on this video is because I care.
I see you did too.
The Panther we humans are hurting our own planet
The Panther sad 😢
No it has 99K lol
122k now
For human beings to stop pollution is probably a 1000 years from now
At 0:40 the dolphin 🐬 looks so beautiful 😍
😢 what an eye 👀 opener!
Who’s the person who just sat there and watched the dolphin take that piece of plastic 😤
Frisky Panda they aren’t supposed to help if they sell the dolphin will rely on humans and won’t be able to survive
Dolphins are rlly hard ri find now because were poluting are ocaens we need to stop
I don't think it's that easy to jump inside the water and grab the dolphin to remove the plastic. Plus the camera was probably set up there. Really sad
@@Waterenjoyer1308 that makes no sense. The dolphin won't suddenly rely 100% on humans because they remove a piece of plastic from them. They're not keeping it in captivity or something like that
Sheeesh
It's sad. I hope many people watch this video and stop polluting the ocean with plastic.
If we destroy the earth...
The earth will pull the uno reverse.
This video should be on tv
Everyone should be concerned about marine pollution. Recycling plastic I think is a good solution. The power of each individual is small, but together we can do a lot.
You know what’s sad? How so many of the people in the comments saying “save the planet, we need change” aren’t helping at all. They’re just gonna watch this, cry, and move on.
the way this video was 6 years ago still no changes were made it still getting worse
EVERY HUMAN IN EARTH SHOULD WATCH THIS
you know what every comment talks about how bad is polutting and etc. Yes I definitely agree but we need action telling things may do little changes but taking action will make a huge difference.
agreed
Save Earth now
Reminds me of a river I know nearby, THEY FOUND A FRIDGE IN THERE!!!!!
Woooo...
Report it
yea
Illegal dumping is a problem in every state.
We can change things one state at a time & pass laws to prevent things dumped in our waterways & outdoor spaces.
Change starts with us
I think we can stop water pollution
If we never existed, Earth would be much better.
i support this plus i am doing my exhibition on this so good luck on your journey and save the world
Anyone who wants to make a difference, get out there to beaches and collect plastic.
Here's a tip: every beach has an area where the most plastic washes up, find it and go to where seaweed is. Where there's a lot of seaweed
Who is on team earth raise your hand now.
🙋♂️
Me
Me
no
@michiroyuuxz6109 no? You hate the planet?
Using glass bottles instead of plastic would help reduce cancer cases and reduce plastic pollution.
I'm shocked about it. I didn't think that there's so much plastic in the world.
As a 14-year-old. I am very upset with the grown-ups in the world. How are you teaching your kids to take care of what they own when you can't even take care of the earth that is providing all these things for u. Come on now get better bc without earth humans can't survive. I need earth. You need earth. We all need earth.
Your smarter than most adults, this is coming from 12 year old.
I agree... We have to stop plastic pollution! (And no that's not just because of my coincidental username)
thanks! this video made my plastic review finished! thanks!!
Put a tax on plastic charge the plastic makers. Use the tax money to clean the ocean. Pay plastic collectors. It's not brain surgery
Nice video
It is time to for us to REFUSE to use single use plastic. Recycling, reducing, and reusing helps a lot. However, REFUSING to use single use plastic is by far the most effective solution to the problem.
Good movie 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Why can people be so thoughtless!? It is heart breaking to watch this. We need to spread the message about what plastic can do to marine life. Millions of sea birds die every year because they try to eat plastic, so do turtles. It pains me to say that Turtle species are going extinct of pollution! They mistake it for Jelly fish!
I know that writing this comment won't change a thing for our enviroment or the seas, but i still hope that comments like mine can encourage someone to make a small change in their everyday life to make a small diffrence. One person can't make a lot of change, but together we can save the planet we where born on. We can't wait any longer for policians to come up with an idea, but it's still not to late to do somthing.
✊😌
Why would you dislike this?
I guess the people who disliked this don't care about anything.
Very Important
Always recycle plastic.
Never throw plastic in oceans parks and forests or anywhere.
Awesome video!
You know why it's sad because you know you did it
yea and let's try to not plastic the nature never again.
Chevvy Shepherd Dude, everyone has contributed to plastic in the oceans. No one is not guilty.
Kirsty Wright true
GachaGirl AND YOU KNOW YOU DID IT TOO!,IDIOT
thanks
use fishing boats to fish for plastic
Don’t forget to promote more magazines and books in schools! Common sense of Primary schools students are important.
They should of taken the bag from the dolphin, but good idea!
your right
yess true
It is sad... I hope everyone will enlightenment and people will protect the planet😢❤
Gandeng so inggris
Why are we letting this happen???☠☡☢☣
Ale gore for president
because money don't care about nature :/
Because were stupid nah jk it cruel we need to stop tomorrow I’m doing no eating for 90 hours oof
Save the ocean and fish quality of life. We need their natural habitats.
It's sad that in my country there still many people that still throw their domestic trashes to the river nearby 😭😭😠😠
سبحان الله.
😠☹️😡☹️☹️☹️😆☹️
The environmental pollution in the sea is serious
there is no way we can solve the marine plastic crises in this time period, the only way to solve this crises, is to travel back in time, and we need to start building time machines Now!
thank you for giving us this information. i really needed this video for my geography presentation. thanks.
i want to fight for this
Thank you Kanye, very cool
People should never Litter
So sad and also very true
We need to stop Think of this when five years has passed it would already be.
Save the earth
Thank you very much and you always my best choice!
I'm really sad, when I see this video! :( We should be aware of the damage!! That we cause to nature and planet, but also we cause to our body.
I. Hi there!
II. Love this Video.
III. Recently, I did ask to myself the following question: " How Sustainable Is Our Ocean-centric Economy and Civilization?". We can't afford to answer to this question without identifying the opportunities offered by the Oceans but also the Challenges they face.
Your video did try to focus on both aspect in a relative short approach.
Previously, I wrote some article on the issue.
Below, some another short comment about Plastic Pollution.
I wish the world could come together and stop this.
Doing this for my assembly
Sad beyond description.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEO
