Good on you. This is the most important video that you have posted. I especially admire your comments about Greta and the insanity of the wind and solar agenda and the celebrities that use them as virtue signaling props while never breaking a sweat or getting their hands dirty. I hope you keep this up. My Grandparents emigrated from Norway and it holds a special place in my heart.

[@SailMermaid]

Thank you! You must have good genes then ;)

We will be fighting the plastic fall out from covid 19 for years to come. This is by far the biggest thing that we need to sort out now. And it's sad how slowly we are moving on this problem.

[@SailMermaid]

Yes, because we are barking up the wrong tree...

[@ProjectManaia]

and the world keeps shrinking. THe guys from "In the Same Boat" are actually old friends :-) Nice to see them still going strong!

[@SailMermaid]

Thank you!

Man that is some extremely beautiful place the snow on the hills in the back ground is completely assume , and look at how clear the water is

[@SailMermaid]

Yes, it is beautiful. That makes it even more sad it is polluted

[@1datsunlover]

I keep hoping someone will make a mold and melt down the floating plastic into interlocking blocks and make a growing plastic island to live on and dock to. A new Atlantis.

[@SailMermaid]

Haha, Brilliant idea. Shouldn't be impossible to do :)

[@bryonensminger7462]

Yes right I was a trucker and we hauled 1000s of tons of those little plastic beads they would melt them and under very high pressure shoot the hot plastic Into injection molding make things of plastic

[@SailMermaid]

Was that fresh products or recycled from plastic waste?

[@bryonensminger7462]

Did you post their web sight I would like to make a donation

[@SailMermaid]

Www.inthesameboat.eco

[@bryonensminger7462]

Man that water is extremely glassy

[@SailMermaid]

Yeah, no wind this day when we started out. It was magic!

[@davexvs]

a heads up for you guys just watched sailing catalpa they came to change their iridium sim card and found the battery had blown apart seems its a common fault so regular checks may be needed plz pass on to others stay safe {:-) PAV uk

[@SailMermaid]

Thanks. No problem for me as I don't have one :)

[@Foxtrottangoabc]

We are all so obsessed with gdp and growth, and I dont think pokificians have the intellect to deal with the situation. We need a bill gates or bezos to tackle sulituation . But we all need to change our attitudes for ourselves and children. Pollution , biodiversity extinction , overpopulation all reall problems that are effecting us today regardless of the warming planet. So many ways to die 😄 but great work for actually doing something useful and not just talking about it or donating , goid day out too ! 👍🙂🍻

I think I would have took that net with me you could troll that behind your boat and got all the fish you could have eating in a passage in one day when I was younger I lived in Hawaii and we were always finding glass fishing net floats from Japan on the beaches

[@SailMermaid]

Oh, I think those nets are to heavy for my boat :) this is real industrial scaled nets!

[@EgilWar]

Just as well they banned plastic straws.

[@SailMermaid]

Yes, I have always found some sense of humour in serving juices in plastic cups with paper straws...

[@TheBoabby50]

I'm a little disappointed in your disparaging comments about Greta. Perhaps now you realise that her intentions are honourable and have brought the whole case of plastics pollution (both land and sea) to a much wider audience, and has maybe even educated a few. If it can happen in Norway, it is much worse elsewhere. Please reconsider your attitude.

[@SailMermaid]

Thank you for commenting and sharing your opinion :)

[@CawffeeTyme]

Did you forget to mention that plastic is made from petroleum aka oil?

[@SailMermaid]

That is true. Petrolium is in many products.

[@davidd3377]

Use the plastic to make plastic solar panels.

[@SailMermaid]

That would be cool!

[@davidd3377]

This was an eye opening video but it also shows that most individuals are not throwing their waste on the ground anymore. Most of what you show came more from industry. With on the ground organizations that can definitely be minimized. We just have to find a good way to reuse what is found. Great vlog!
