What Can Be Done About The Plastic Crisis? (Part 2) | Drowning In Plastic | Earth Stories

The world is waking up to one of the biggest threats to our planet. Nearly all the plastic that has ever been made still exists and most of it is now floating in our seas and oceans. Leading scientists are frantically trying to understand the problem. Other natural disasters have had decades of intensive research; but research into the effect of plastics on marine life began in earnest just five years ago. The race is on to understand the scale of the problem and find a solution before the life in our oceans is irreparably damaged forever.

Loved part 1. Part 2 is just as interesting. Learned so much about the profound problem plastic is creating. Thank you so much for these videos.👍

[@climatedisasterdocumentaries]

so glad you enjoyed it!

[@madelinebradley6952]

I wish these videos were getting more attention. Detrimental information. Thank you for opening our eyes to the horror of plastic!!

[@proudchristian77]

We shared it so it will ! 💝

It's unfortunate that common sense is more rare than clean water and greed keeps it moving forward to get worse. 😖 A new law took effect in Washington State more than a year ago for plastic bags in stores. The stores (grocery, clothing, etc.) have to charge customers 8 cents per bag and the bags are higher quality than before and are made to be reused many times. Hopefully it's making at least a bit of an impact for the better. 🌎

Beyond putrid, as to what mankind has done, and is doing for money and profit, to this "unique planet and the innocent lives!"" To those who do not care, it is unforgivable, and they are all held accountable here, and when they leave this side of life! Thank you, to all of you making this documentary! You have spoken for those amazing creatures, the seas, and the Earth, who have "no voice", concerning these brutal, heartless, cruel, and on going atrocities! Everything on this beautiful planet is interconnected, in a circle of life. It WILL backfire, as we already see all around us, in worldwide sea and weather events happening already! Justice will be served, and prevail.

I wonder... does the news of cleaning up and recycling plastic give the plastic industry the green light to create more plastic items? A 'good' thing encouraging a 'bad' thing.

[@clauskretzschmar953]

"Too time consuming..." When all the sea creatures are dead from your plastic gear, what will "time" mean to you, then? This 'fisherman' is not interested in the well-being of the oceans, he's only interested in money. Funny, though... you can't eat money.

[@jawwadkhan8423]

That's the problem with our companies, governments and even common people, they don't think of tomorrow as they don't care but when tomorrow will arrive, they'll have nothing left except regret.

[@clauskretzschmar953]

@@jawwadkhan8423 Human nature. "Yeah. I smoke and I know it's deadly but that's not going to happen to me." Famous last words. You nailed it on the head. Why worry about a non issue today when it won't become a problem for three more years.

“I just want to say one word to you… Plastics.”

[@Aiphrodisiakum]

I have no, absolutely no, sympathy for fishermen of any kind. The fish industry is BY FAR the single worst food industry when it comes to pollution and damage to this planet and it's wildlife and with that on the climate. Kelp forests destroyed, coral reefs destroyed, even deep sea coral reefs and to top this crazyness..... most fish industries around this globe are funded and protected by governments. If you, a fisherman, worry about your family not being able to eat, get a new job.

They would be forced to find a job if they stopped being paid. In other words, customers are still paying them to keep doing what they're doing.

[@Gertyutz]

Excellent video.

[@marcbernicker206]

Man made climate change pales in comparison to plastic pollution. Fishing gear is a small part of the problem, human plastic disposal is even worse.

[@user-wp9ye7wn9w]

[@jansemansky]

I am feeling so sad from the plastic .... houpffuly we will find way how fix it...

[@Hendrikhendrik-om5ys]

I wish these videos were getting more attention from humans all over the world.

[@Andre.felipe84]

Me too. Greetings from Brazil.

Bacteria testing kits to test bacteria on ocean plastics and coral reefs, ALL MADE FROM PLASTIC.

[@michaelkaiser4674]

and yet we still belive in god to help?

[@ShammyDeep]

God is helping. By giving us the intuition to fix our own problems. We are beings that came from God so that means we have the powers of God within us. If we really are worthy creations of God, then we can fix our own problems.

[@cindypatrick785]

Exactly why our God Jehovah promises at Revelation 11:18 that he is ,”going to ruin those that are ruining the earth.” When he gave man the gift of the earth he intended for them to “ cultivate the garden of Eden and eventually spread the paradise conditions everywhere. His purpose has never changed . One day he will accomplish his purpose of having the whole earth cleaned up and inhabited as he always intended.(Isaiah 65;Revelation 21:3-5;Isaiah 33:24 5:15

[@KMPR90]

Fundraising corruption nice =D

[@ajaykshirsagar4715]

Recycling

[@Gertyutz]

Plastic recycling hasn't worked. And that wouldn't include fishing gear anyway.

[@njxx1a]
