How We Can Keep Plastics Out of Our Ocean | National Geographic

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

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.

[@hefazuddinnabizadah6994]

you are right but the population of world are not agree with you because they are not willing for getting coordination as you think

[@MrJacobpoliquin]

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.

[@yaseneko2833]

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.

[@saiyanwarrior3895]

it just that simple just stop throwing trash in ocean and insted throw in trashcan and dumsters or recycle plastic

[@markdonald2534]

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.

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.

[@ItsMitchelll]

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.

[@Mr_Chris__]

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.

[@Atlanta-Georgia]

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

[@lifewithless1327]

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!

[@cavewallmedia]

yep

[@valeriagutierrez2562]

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💙😟💙🌎💙

[@jeongyeon22]

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.

[@isaacvieira5116]

It’s sad how more people care about other people’s drama than care about saving this earth that we have only once

[@laurenceli6613]

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.

[@nothat1]

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.

[@jamesmichaelwalker683]

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.

[@heidirowlands1806]

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.
