What's always amazed me is that we've been using plastics for everything for 60 years, we knew what the hell was going to happen and we did it anyway... for convenience, for money, for consumerism. We deserve whatever we get for being so damn irresponsible. The sea life, however, does not.
@Kyle Hill nope, it sure isn't the worst, you're so right - the micro particulates and the five Texas-sized islands of plastic in the oceans isn't exactly surprising - Frightening, but not surprising.
@Kyle Hill I know a number of far reaching impacts our over reliance on plastics has, but that's specifically a new one for me - thanks for some new knowledge. It seems that as consumers, we all have to start pressuring for revised legislation concerning recycling, especially in the medical industry as well as being more aware of our individual usage. Much of the problem is that it's so much cheaper for plastic manufacturers to make new items than to use recycled materials. Some are finally beginning to address the problem (bioplastics, etc.) thanks to public pressure.
Years ago when man started using plastic, I had a terrible thought go through my mind then, and it has never left me to this day.I at the start often wondered what would man do with all this junk they were producing.... I wasn't wrong when I was a kid, and today I'm even more convinced that man is nothing but greedy and wasteful. And as much as 1 person can do to try and contribute to the end of the use of this junk, it's almost virtually impossible. But I would like to let people know that even though we have paper napkins and all the such, I still believe in using regular washable napkins like the earlier days before literally everything became a use it once world. And I still try to recycle ♻️ everything. I never took this life or our earth for granted even as a kid.❤
A scientist searched the water column for micro plastics and came up empty. No micro plastics and no island. And what plastic is found usually has life attached to it or around it. Fake calamity.
@@matthewweng8483you should have seen the negative impact of over usage of tin and rust able metals. Metals had rust that actually would polluted water so badly that entire fish species would wash up on shore dead. Also micro plastics aren’t 100% bad. Yes there are some made with chemicals that hurt bio life but majority of plastics that exists today are actually made with so little amount of chemical run off that it basically is the equal to just floating san. most of the actual plastics that are floating as micro plastics were from 30 plus years.. the funny part is that people are blaming the plastic manufacturing of today even though most of the plastics that have been broken down heavily are most of the plastics that are broken down into micro plastics. So these types of plastics that are broken down into micro plastics are more polymer based than the actual plastics that we are currently manufacturing. People can deny this but it only adds to the cruel reality that some people won’t listen to actual research and rather stroke a virtue signal ego of trying to claim some sort of moral high ground out of stuff that have been remedied and continuously progressed to be remedied further as we advance.
Unreal the extent of that...send fishing trawlers out with huge nets to bag it up in bulk...when they are not catching fish they can cash in on recycling...will need funding to offset costs but will keep crews busy on down time
It's easy to find that information. BTW, half of all the plastic in the ocean comes from Philippines. They just throw all the plastic in the ocean and they are 120 million people. So do the maths. That's why this information is a secret. If the world finds the truth, extremist like Nazis during Hitler times would take power and would like to exterminate Philippines people... Not that they don't deserve it....
Starts with the trash on the roads. Get washed into the drains, goes to the creeks and into the river, which ends up in the ocean. Also tornadoes and hurricanes. Another big pollutant is fishing nets that get broken off.
That is like 5000 pet bottles per person thrown into the ocean by every single person on earth. I don't think Westerners are to blame. We recycle or collect most of plastic.
Good video, but your statement at 3:07 is not true. Plastics also get burned (ok, some people count that as recycling as well, but hey..), but it gets buried as well.
there is a lot of misinformation with this video. first of all those are not photos of the actual patch. the actual patch is more like a large oil spill but with plastic. it is nothing you want to swim in of course, but should you try to walk on this alleged island swimming would be all you could do.
Poor thing, you've been duped into chronic depression. Just how the global commies want you so mother government can take you in her bossom and control your tears away.
The World Economic Forum wants a One World Government so I think they should step up and take care of this first if they're going to be the leaders they claim to be

good that we dont have plastic straws anymore. that will save the ocean

Can't see it from space? The can count the hairs on ur head but can't see this? Going to have to call b.s.
I can find very little video footage of it either
@@matthijsmaris8703complete bs. Garbage, if you will.
My question is what are the 5top 5 reasons for plastics entering our oceans?
It's easy to find that information.

This is crazy!
This is so sad!
Is there more trash on land , or in the waters
school made me watch
Boyan Slat is working on it.
I believe that it exist but the data is wrong with simple calculation you found out that the garbage island should be 569 billion kg
It's huge......but don't worry.....it's too small to see.
Finally, plastic beach
Can we see it from the Google Map satellite?
Well ill probably keep adding to it😮😮😮😮

Good video
...depressing
Why dont they take a pic or video of it from a plane
Good video, but your statement at 3:07 is not true. Plastics also get burned (ok, some people count that as recycling as well, but hey..), but it gets buried as well.
It’s not actually an island. Just a term they coined for all the plastic in the pacific currents. Most of it micro plastics.
Try again. They looked for micro plastics too and found nothing
@@bcsemotorworks2462try agajn
That's just the biggest,there's 7 plastic ìslañd? 😢😢😢
miserable fact. well done, humans! you made it... well them.

LOLOLOLOL!
Ace 5 star
So no videos of it? Lol i call cap
Esad
I guess you could say it’s a plastic beach
This is fake! Yes the is plastic in the ocean but it it's a collection of microscopic sized pieces not full bottles and containers.
I like it
In other words … no … there’s not …
I suggest that the plastic island is warming up the ocean temperature.
😓❤️
BS!
Humanity doesn’t deserve this planet,we need to be knocked back to the stone age,we deserve that.

Ew
man forget earth we have lost it when it ends ill be dead so i dont care
It’s like dark matter … say whatever you want… also, if no one cares, maybe it’s because it doesn’t really matter.
