Plastic oceans: a true global emergency | Craig Leeson | TEDxPitic
Craig Leeson and his team spent four years and visited more than 20 locations to research and understand the size of the plastic crisis in the oceans around the world. Their findings are disheartening, at the very least.
Luckily, there's a way to turn this around but it will take a huge, worldwide effort to do it with enough time to rescue entire maritime species and ecosystems. Crig Leeson is an award-winning journalist, television presenter and filmmaker. His debut cinematic feature film, “A Plastic Ocean”, which he wrote and directed was ranked number one documentary on iTunes in the U.S., the U.K., and Canada This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

I'm surprised that this video hasn't gotten more views considering how important its subject matter is in today's world.

I think everyone knows already, also back then.
This is so important - why are companies not listening? They need to be held financially accountable for the disaster they have created.
This is one of the best TED talks I‘ve ever seen!
Thank you very much for your talk. God bless!
Great talk. Just so terrifying and tragic what we are doing to the planet.
Good on ya Craig... Well done.
Great talk
To my mind, the human being is doomed to self-extinction

We need a world clean up government to take over. One that will work for the good of the planet not for the financiel good of themselves.

That this video doesn't get millions of view is a sure sign of doom.

"Baby boomers" had plastic genius. Baby boomers were born between 1944 and 1964, and plastic was first used commercially in 1907. So they had plastic.

@@hojc4508 Not in Bulgaria. We were behind until the 90's. The baby boomers in my country grew up on clay and glass so did I in 1974, there was no plastic
Great Trailer! We have created this mess!
Probably the biggest tragedy on earth is the fact that we need prompting by heroes like Craig, to understand how our own seemingly innocuous actions impact the entire planet and the life that inhabits it. I am ashamed of myself.

Idk
recycling facilities are not the answer.. waxed paper ?
Just saying you can't make a non single use plastic because there is no such thing of single use plastic
