Some experts also think that the plastic microbeads in face-washes contribute greatly to this pollution since it goes straight into the water system.

Google "The Ocean Cleanup". They're great!

the issue is most of us use plastic bags for throwing out our organic waste, it keeps our waste confined to some level, but there are still leaks. I was put on a pilot to test a new product, Bagez a garbage bag holder. it allows me to secure any size garbage bag in my garbage bins. garbage bags are a better thicker plastic, and if used according to what your local waste facility can sort and separate, it will help in recapture of material to wards new products rather than end up in landfills. with Bagez i have been able to use just 1 bag to hold our family waste, and add more if needed. i buy my own bags and even use it when i'm outdoors. great product, helps reduce plastics are ending up in the dump, and i don't have to worry about dirty bins.

Recycling is a great idea, but we all need to be better informed on what and how to recycle. I used to work for a large aerospace company. It used to break my heart to find a container in a copy room filled halfway with clean white paper, which is worth big bucks, contaminated with two or three discarded lunches. When recycling companies buy paper, they give it a grade. If food and trash is mixed, the value depreciates. We should also lobby our government representatives to give the consumer more options, like glass instead of plastic. Thanks for posting this!

this is the second video about plastic wast I have watched today. the first was Holy F***ing science

If the shops didn't sell "green" veg/fruit bags for damn 80 cents a piece - i would use them. The paper bags also cost up to 10 times more. Meats/dairy etc need to be properly packed (gas, sterile) - so cant avoid it there. Glass bottles are also quite a bit more costly and available in small volumes. Price is the problem here - until something changes - plastic problem remains.

You can switch to solid soap bar packed in a paper instead of buying the liquid one from the plastic containers. Just one example.

great episodes every week.

Years ago many stores used to allow you to refill large pop bottles at grocery stores, but we are being so filled with terror on every front these days that it;s almost insane. I'm sure that saved many bottles from ending up where they shouldn't. Also, if you sell bottled water and pop on beaches, it will likely end up in the oceans too. Why not sell it in recyclable paper cups instead? If stores allowed people to refill bottles again but each refillable bottle would cost $50 and no other refillable containers would be permitted, that might help as well, provided no one sold this in regular bottles anymore. The more something costs, the less likely people will throw it into the ocean. the problem is that most of the food today that people purchase in stores (meat products etc.) also comes in plastic. It's a world where people are being literally ENCOURAGED to throw away as much garbage as possible. Seems like 50% of even the non food products today are wrapped in plastic and often even heavy plastic that takes up twice as much space as the product itself. Worse yet, that plastic is often so heavy and so thick that it can literally slice through the skin if not opened right. Seems that if you put more store products behind glass instead, and hire more clerks to monitor what each customer is taking and has put back, there might not be so much of a loss when you consider massive theft today even when items are wrapped in plastic. Stores might actually break even and employ millions more in the process, allowing millions more also money to purchase things. the computer trend to try to unemploy most of the world's people to save money has backfired in multiple ways and will continue to do so.

Let's add another R. Maybe Redirect? In addition to the individual, aiming these messages at businesses, communities, and policies can have a much larger impact. For example, if an entire restaurant chain stopped using plastic straws - we'd be doing the ocean a tremendous favor.

Mike Likes Science yes. Businesses needs to change but consumers are the huge link in the chain. If we “vote” with our wallets and refuse plastics as well as educate and inform and write legislation then corporations should theoretically change their ways. Btw, McDonald’s in UK just announced they are piloting a paper straw likely because of the petition for them to do so last year was launched. I definitely want that to take over world wide.

The topic is so serious and the situation so dire but you make it sound unalarming. Saying "no" to a straw whenever you can is not enough! We all can and must do more. You share good ideas at the end. I hope you take your own advice seriously too. Thank you for speaking on the subject. I suggest you make a follow-up, however.

I'm a little curious as to how the majority of plastics in oceans end up there. For all I know all the plastics in my vicinity end up in the incinerator at the local power plant or to the recycling facility.

Most waste probably comes from the major countries. Here, we have trash bags, plastic bottles, plastic boxes, plastic utensils, and more, which we usually throw away after one use. I doubt the 3rd world countries has the money to buy a lot one use plastic. Also, recycling doesn't work all the time. Sometimes, recycled items would just end up in a landfill or the ocean even if it's placed in the recycling box.
