This video is really sad. People should do more about cleaning the ocean instead of fighting each other! We need to clean the planet!
-
Guys listen up This was made in 2016 Now its 2021 That was five years ago Nothing has changed This was a warning... We still haven't followed it
-
I remember about a year ago, my school held an event for our students to stop plastic pollution in the ocean. It really made me sad to see that out of 1,015 students only 14 showed up. It really shows how much some people don’t care about their environment.
-
I'm currently educating myself on the plastic pollution and it's so shocking how out of control this is and the affects of it as well.
-
Even if you live hundreds of miles from the coast, the plastic you throw away could make its way into the sea. Once in the ocean, plastic decomposes very slowly, breaking down in to tiny pieces known as micro plastics that can be incredibly damaging to sea life.
-
Let's face it - we are the worst thing that happened to this planet.
-
In my school when you reach grade 8 you have to do a community service project. I am choosing to do it about ocean pollution. I am going to a few elementary to spread awareness since I personally think that’s all I can do but I hope it makes a difference because I don’t want our oceans ending up as toxic trash waters
-
Everyone has that responsibility. We know so little about the ocean, and we need to let more people know. My family has started to reduce unnecessary plastic use. It's easy to do, but very few people do it. Many things can be reused, and I often see tutorials on how to make very interesting recyclables.
-
I hope that one day every little person on the planet comes together and fights for the end of pollution and all harmful things to the world💙😟💙🌎💙
-
Who is on team earth raise your hand now.
-
I would love to hear what everyone is doing to cut back on plastics! Making as many changes as possible
-
In the old days (before plastic bags became so commonplace), people were more resourceful and less wasteful. Cardboard boxes were often reused to put your groceries in, fish was wrapped in newspaper and bags were often made of straw or paper. Whenever I go food shopping, I take a cardboard box off the shelves to put my shopping in. I will then repurpose some of the boxes to be used as parcels.
-
Thank you. Building healthy soil and healthy micro-biomes may be the key to recovering the planet.
-
It’s sad how more people care about other people’s drama than care about saving this earth that we have only once
-
It's amazing. If I hadn't seen this video, I would never have known the extent of plastic pollution in the ocean. I think it's too difficult to deal with it artificially. We need technology to do it more efficiently. But the point is that we can do better at the source, for example, by wasting less plastic and using alternative products.
-
I searched for this. I wish youtube would recommend people to watch this.
-
I have never ever thought these things are happening.I am scared to know about these things.
-
We see ocean pollution on a daily basis. Picking up the plastic trash every chance we get. It takes all of us to become aware and notice our oceans are suffering. Together we can make a change!
-
thank you for giving us this information. i really needed this video for my geography presentation. thanks.
