2 questions. 1: what are we going to do with all the plastic we collect? 2: how do we stop plastic pollution at the source instead of investing all our time into cleaning up (like bucketing water out of a sinking ship instead of fixing the hole)

[@everythingmatters6308]

Answers to #2: 1. Replace your polyester and nylon clothing, sheets and blankets with cotton and other natural fibers. Most of the microfiber in the oceans is from synthetic fibers coming loose in our washing machines. 2. Boycott Coke, Pepsi, and Nestle and stop buying single use items. 3. Use cloth bags at the grocery and other stores. 4. Grow some of your own food to reduce packaging. Blackberries, grapes, fall squash, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and pole green beans can be grown on a fence or trellis in a small space. Fig trees are small and prolific.

Answer to #1:as mark rober said it’s going to be recycled or disposed of properly

[@emmasilver2332]

Watch Mark Rober's video on the topic. He answers both of these questions

[@Anonymousjoe64]

Government bodies need to restrict and even ban the sale of single-use plastics. If there’s a demand, companies will continue to get away with producing and profiting from sales of single use plastics. The invention of the refillable water bottle isn’t exactly a new concept and has rendered purchasing bottled water completely redundant, yet it continues to be a problem. People should start with that.

[@emmasilver2332]

@@Anonymousjoe64 the problem with that idea is that a lot of times tourists can't drink local water without getting sick. Bottled water is literally the only option in those situations. What governments need to do is put an extra tax on products packaged with plastics, and utilize the revenue to provide convenient recycling options for all of its citizens. Put a recycling bin right next to every trash can in public spaces. And put more trash cans places to make it more convenient for people to throw things away. Bolt those cans to the ground so the wind can't blow them over and spread the trash everywhere. Hire people to help empty those trash cans. Put more public drinking fountains / water bottle refillers in public spaces to encourage people to reuse their water bottles. Charge a hefty fine for every time a person is caught littering, proportional to the person's household income. Utilizing these methods will accomplish a multitude of things: 1: It will discourage people from buying products packaged with plastics. 2: It will discourage companies from using plastic as a means of packaging. 3: It will provide less excuses for people to litter. 4: It will provide less excuses for people to not recycle. 5: It will discourage people from littering so they can avoid being fined. 6: It will provide more jobs for people, jobs which require no prior experience and are not hindered by most disabilities. 7: It will encourage people to conveniently refill their water bottles. This won't solve the problem completely, but if governments will band together on this, it will go a long way.

[@siliasporter4424]

Solution! Do your part by not drinking out of plastic bottles, use reusable bottles or glass. Glass is so much better to recycle because you just need to remelt it and re mold it. I personally dont drink out of plastoc bottles. That even means for 1 year (so far) i havent drank any gatorade, bottled water, or any drink that comes in a plastic bottle. Also if ypu can grow your own food. Oh also dont use plastic bags, use reusable ones. Thanks for your effort. But remember your own effort doesnt do much unless you challenge others to do it too, such as large coorporations.

[@bethtoniccool4676]

And if you do buy plastic bottles drinks, PLEASE reuse them, there are many different things you can use them for and it's better than throwing them out

[@theno9075]

or just recycle your plastic

[@BubOfficial]

@@theno9075 While that does help, only a small percent of what we recycle actually gets recycled! ♻️ 🗑

[@Ac-fh1cw]

@@theno9075 that’s the thing tho. recycling isn’t what we think. only a VERY small margin of plastic we recycle is actually recycled. major plastic companies made the concept of recycling to calm the general public about the negative effects plastic has on earth. i believe it’s roughly 70% (maybe more or less but it’s a crazy amount) of recycled plastic just ends up in trash dumps. the best option is to just use reusable items.

[@SpectralBlizzard]

The guy who took a flamethrower and burnt down a box fort is now removing 30 million pounds of trash out of the ocean. What a legend.

[@kareebhasnat]

As amazing as the project is, I still think Mark Rober & Mr Beast should make it clear that even 30 Million pounds of trash is nothing compared to the actual scale. A survey shows that 17 Billion Pounds of trash end up in the oceans every year (500 times more than what they will remove). So besides encouraging people to donate to team seas, they should also encourage them not to stop there.

[@trybunt]

Yeah, its still good to do, but even better would be to stop pretending plastic we put in recycle bins doesn't end up buried or in the ocean. We put over 30 million pounds of plastic in the ocean every day, so where is this plastic they take out going to end up?

[@danieljost5881]

17 billion pounds per year, with trillions of pounds already in the water. I hate to be a pessimist but yikers

[@BraveCat9927]

he also made aware the 1% of rivers that are the worst offenders, making it aware if we cut it off at the source, we can have a tremendous positive impact. problem is most of those rivers are in very remote areas with little infrastructure

[@miamiller7678]

If people grasped the reality of all of it, it might be too scary to actually contribute because it may seem out of reach. By dropping a number that, even though it's hardly the size of what is really out there, it still seems real and that it might be achievable, it gives people the hope that this campaign needs to actually get people to donate.
