Instead of letting plastic stay in the ocean, this community found a way to turn litter into something useful again. What are your thoughts on this attempt to help solve the world's plastic problem?
National Geographic I think if we stop producing plastic that would help,but we also have to be real that we cant live without plastic..maybe our scientists may invent plastic that is environment friendly?or if there is, then that is a great help!
National Geographic I’d like to see a follow up on the coral reefs and if it has helped bring the fish back. At the very least, this gives fishers an incentive to hold onto their nets,
thank you for recovering that abandoned fishing net from our sea and making useful by recycling it. This helps a lot not just for the community out there but also the animal being lived in our oceans and seas.
Res they mentioned a little bit about how its turned into nylon string or yarn which is then made into carpets :) but yea, it would be coll to see the process
Huge respect to people who bring environmental awareness to my homeland. It's been to the point of almost no return, and some ecosystems are completely dead from the rapid industrialization the Philippines went through (Pasig River for example) but there's still hope, and it's slowly getting better.
This is really impressive.... We need to save our environment.... Nature created us, we shouldn't destroy it.... People should make sure that they're using eco-friendly products
KoTV아시얗 most of us know about pollution and how to prevent it but we're hardly trying to do it.... Some strict rules and regulations must be implemented for a better environment , otherwise things will become worse.... We have to care about our upcoming generations too
Whoa slow down the praise! They killed the reef. They are picking up the nets they put there, gj taking responsibility finally when there were profits to be had
This program needs to be like set up everywhere like every continent especially third worlds. Can you imagine how much better are oceans would be if we had these kind of programs like everywhere
she said it so perfectly when she said it's all about striking the right balance. protecting or preventing further marine destruction on one hand and offering livelihood to the community on another. this effort should be replicated wherever it could possibly be applied. i really hope that we will see the day when there will be no more plastic in the world. how can the world spend so much on so many things in this modern world and yet unable to invest money, time and effort to finding an alternative to plastic. plastic is the worst invention to mankind.
Yes.. but you also use plastics in your life.. how can in entire of your life never use plastics. So we should use less plastics.. and educate people to respect to plastics, so they will ever waste, throw away plastics heartlessly..
Awesome idea, but what happened if the person get bored of the carpet and dump the plastic again. Would be more cool if plastic can be reused for anything, not only carpets.
In what part of the Philippines is that? When I hear double barrier reef about the Philippines, I usually think about Dawahon Reef-The only double barrier reef in the country.
I’m more for nature than anything but maybe we should let such destructive behavior by humans continue. That is, if we do nothing, the ecosystems will break down, and we humans -the worst thing ever created by Mother Nature-will also break down and the planet can really heal.
Before, Plastics aren't a problem in the Philippines, because they usually use locally made biodegradable bags, but during the industrialization, the plastic bags got introduced into them, and here's the result. LOL
This not just about plastic bags.. there are many kind of plastic products that create this issue.. make worries to our ecosytem and marine ecosytems, especially..
This would be much more beneficial if those factories where nets are transformed into carpets were put on-site. It would greatly affect not only the environmental problem, it would also help in one of the most widespread problem in the world, POVERTY. At first i though they were just recycling nets, but when I got to the part where they said that those nets were being exported to europe for manufacturing, I immediately think of the colonial era wherein the colonies would sent raw materials to the countries they are subjected to to be processed and manufactured to new materials. They are helping the community, yes. But they are not helping enough. Im starting to think that developed countries are using “environmental” acts to boost their own interests on underdeveloped communities. Well, that’s me, i dunno about you.
Plastics are killing the precious marine life and plastics filled stomachs of dead large fishes , whales, dolphins upon examination of the carcasses. I am praying for plastic manufacturing to end soon replaced by plant based material such as hemp. The hemp plant can also be used for building materials replacing concrete blocks, clothing, food and many others. I hope and pray to see this happen in my lifetime.
The Philippines has too many islands this supposed to be an individual country has its own govt. By doing so this island will have more power to do what they can to take care of their island. One govt running consist of too many islands are very painstaking to do. The Luzon Visayas and Mindanao should be called another country or a state

Hopefully, this effort is success. I want this effort also apply to Malaysia!!!
+KoTV아시얗 We will do it for free.. just needs a cost for collect it for the depth regions..

You could go to my province since almost every citizen in our province depends on fishing as means of living...
That port is in Tubigon, Bohol.
Talk about local community, I went to high school there.
That opened my eyes to the problem, thank you!
I would totally buy these carpets instead of regular ones to help the environment
lmao... or dont buy carpet at all...
ertyderty7
Yes, that is an option too, but it's good to have environmentally friendly alternatives like these fishing nets carpets
18 tons of just nets 😮 imagine the amount of plastic in our oceans
Will Pack are you talking about the dead bodies?
Actually, it's too much to count.. include the microplastics and nanoplastics.. it can found everywhere include fish, shellfish, marine organisms..
+Will Pack But the most are releases by human itself.. human create it.. natural disaster just collect it...
that's fantastic. Hopefully this project has started spreading to more areas, creating jobs and cleaning the ocean, love this.
Such a wonderful idea, thanks Nat Geo
Good job! Salute to your advocay. Thank you for helping the Philippines and the environment. Keep it up!
That’s amazing!! It’s exactly what the island needed while helping out the people in the community. So inspiring. ❤️🐬🐟🐙
thank you for recovering that abandoned fishing net from our sea and making useful by recycling it. This helps a lot not just for the community out there but also the animal being lived in our oceans and seas.
I wonder how these plastic nets are made into carpets. They should included it in the video. Still, great job guys.
Res they mentioned a little bit about how its turned into nylon string or yarn which is then made into carpets :) but yea, it would be coll to see the process
Hey look at that! My people helping global sustainability while helping themselves too! Awesome!
Pilipino po ako😄😍💪
your people?
Your people finally cleaning up the mess they caused! When there are profits on the table.... Gj
Hi kabayan!!!!
@@imthebest4957 what did you just say...
A great collaboration to keep the environment healthier for all of us. Awesome job!

That's right.. so we need to educate our people's thinking...

wow so inspiring kudos to Heather .
Thanks God for these dedicated people.
The company selling these recycled carpets is called INTERFACE
Sophia Lee and what they do as a company is INTERFACIAL
Those people are truly amazing...
This is pretty inspiring.
One man's trash is another man's treasure.
Inspirational!
These people are actually making a change to the ocean,to the world.
Yes.. but we needs more people like them.. but it not easy to educate people to understand our effort..
Whoa slow down the praise! They killed the reef. They are picking up the nets they put there, gj taking responsibility finally when there were profits to be had
Now we use them for something else great job
Fantastic!!!
This program needs to be like set up everywhere like every continent especially third worlds. Can you imagine how much better are oceans would be if we had these kind of programs like everywhere
Are the reefs getting better?
Seeing all the waste we have
Recycling can bring allot of income to small communities
Thank you 🙏👍❤️💕🇵🇭
We must protect our oceans and it's inhabitants. This is really a good start.
*Philippines*
great job guys.
Very cool. Excellent idea
Beautiful.
good project. nice shots.
PHILLIPINES ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Mia Concetta hello kabayan!!!!
Kababayan!

this would be great for beds for the homeless world wide
Debbie Judd contact nat geo they will provide info..
Yeng Constantine Thank you for the info
finally some decent product that actually helps the environment.
that's a good news so far
Proud to be🇵🇭🇵🇭
Nice
I hope they convert the mentality of the residents there too
Ddnt saw what it looks like though, great idea btw
Wow
Carpets are at 2:52
Should've shown it more, they look good.
I hope this is still going

Angelus Marcarita carpet shouldn’t go to landfill. Most carpet manufacturers recycle carpets.
That’s just a spoiled brats perspective, many people would actually store their carpets not throw them away.
lol! this is philippines..not america.. we don't throw carpets away unlike what you guys do there with your old tv's and refrigerator
Hopefully..
It can be made into other things... This company just happens to make it into carpet.
Hello this vídeo is my homework XD
AYOS👍
I fvcking miss my country! Terribly homesick rn.
Thank you for this brilliant idea. Hope all plastics will be gone in the ocean. Cant take anymore to see those big fishes strangled by random nets.
In what part of the Philippines is that? When I hear double barrier reef about the Philippines, I usually think about Dawahon Reef-The only double barrier reef in the country.
Where in the Philippines is this? Does anyone know?
I want to be there helping....
What the process involved in the transformation???
So what's the net profit on net carpets?
It's net clear because they did net really say. (Okay, not as clever...)
As long as it has an economic incentive, people will more easily buy into it.
Any idea how to contact these community? I think we can convert them to rugs in Singapore too
Seriously??
LOL😄
Mjj
Proud to be pilipino xD
How long it will last?
I mean net wont last so the community in the village will disband eventually
So in 20 years will they be reusing these old carpets?
What happens when they run out of nets?
Where's the finish product??
How much does a dollar cost - KL
Lmfao can you imagine if one of those boats full of nets was to sink
Nagtataka ako kung ilan ang mga pilipino ang nandito 🤔

Where’s the carpet?
It seems they are paying the locals to clean up their own mess.
I’m more for nature than anything but maybe we should let such destructive behavior by humans continue. That is, if we do nothing, the ecosystems will break down, and we humans -the worst thing ever created by Mother Nature-will also break down and the planet can really heal.
This is actually rlly deep...
Be sure to recycle the carpet then.
Gavin Bonar well most carpet manufacturers do recycle carpets
We never throwed 1 single carpet in our family

There's something fishy about those rugs

Anyone else here after watching “Seaspiracy”?

Сами что ли загадили?
Brace for impact Filipinos incoming
♔Lies hahahaha shhhh my countrymen are crazy with everything with “Filipino” on it
HAHAHA
so where are the carpets???...all I have seen here are nets and garbage

early
;(
*_SPONSORED BY COLGATE_*
Just stop using so much plastic. Nets bottles carpet its all the same. The vast amount of plastic is not needed for you to have a quilty life
Yan kami hahaha
Yan kayo eh
I hope that justin guy won't be here
Not Cool
