Its saddening that how we humans ruining our own earth.

I have spent YEARS reducing plastic in my household. I have to make one change at a time and allow my husband and kids to adjust to that change before making the next change. They freak out and revolt when I try to go zero waste all at once. They seem to not even notice when I make one change at a time though. 1) I got rid of all commercial cleaning products and started cleaning my house with Norwex cloths or vinegar. No more cleaning supplies in plastic bottles. I had to reteach my kids how to clean. 2) I switched to washable feminine hygiene products like Charlie Banana pads and Thinx period panties. 3) I stopped buying liquid hand soap and started buying only bar soap in cardboard packaging. 4) I stopped buying bottles of shampoo and conditioner. I replaced them with shampoo bars by JR Liggetts. 5) I stopped buying all body sprays and perfumes. There are many more. That is just a start. It is a good start for anyone looking to transition to zero waste. Start small. Adjust. Then try eliminating another plastic.

This is the exact kind of content we need to start important conversations to make change. Most people just aren't aware. Thank you so much!

This documentary is truly amazing , raising awareness of what is happening to our oceans is so important and you have done such a good job , I go to sennen cove at least twice a year and recently I’ve picked up 2 whole bags of plastic and waste , it breaks my heart to see what we’re doing to such important places

Plastic products need to be priced with a higher markup as a deposit insurance guaranteeing that most customers will choose to collect and return plastic items back to collection and not discard them disorderly. There has to be economical and social motivation for people to bring all plastics back for recycling.

‘We throw it in the ocean and she throws it back’ great sentiment.

It is devastating to see the reality and scale of this issue and just how much people in other areas are affecting by it. However, it's also wonderful to see how much you care about the worldwide plastic crisis and this video has been made really well. Like yourself, 8 months ago I had enough with plastic pollution and so I started an NGO called Pure Clean Earth and now focus every day fighting this same battle. I hope that more and more people become aware and decide to raise their voices, put pressure on the governments to act faster, and that schools worldwide begin to put nature at the core of how we learn, live, and act. We certainly do not have enough time to be making small changes 5-10 years down the line. I hope that this video makes a huge impact and encourages thousands of people more, to call for change.

You all watch this, and say things, but are you making changes? It's not hard and it's not impossible. These single use items will outlive you- you don't need them for a one time craving. Bring your own stuff!!!!

Step one: Say no thank you to plastic shopping bags. Create or buy cloth shopping bags which could be washed. How hard is it to take your own bags with you for shopping? Ppl became so super lazy in today's world.

Manufacturers' need to be held to account. Personal responsibility to dispose of plastic waste products will only reduce the problem so far (it sits in huge piles in re-cycling depot and then ends up in landfill). Manufacturers' NEED to come up with better alternatives. An amazing man in Japan made hotel soap packets that were totally biodegradable from sustainable seaweed harvesting. Genius. Great video. Well done. Accountability from manufacturers!

This is SO well made. The fact that waves are now spewing out plastic worldwide on coasts and we're still not doing anything about plastic shows exactly how self-destructive and oblivious we are. Disgusting. Thank you for this.

"Love your environment otherwise your environment will stop loving you"-

In all these excellent documentaries I've never heard anyone talk about growing hemp to make biodegradable plastic. Hemp can also replace cotton and be used to make hempcrete. Imagine a plastic bag that you can throw away in a compost heap that will turn into soil. It seems like a no brainer. Does anyone agree with me? Budah of Birmingham

Thank you for creating this! The more people learn the more likely they’ll change. It’s super motivating to change my own lifestyle after seeing the actual damage. I knew it was bad and try to use reusable bags but after seeing this I know I need to do more! There’s plastic on so many things, here’s to finding a more eco friendly lifestyle!

Great documentary. It's scary when i think about issues like this. It's time for the world to start to pay serious attention to issues of the environment.

Another big problem are the food packaging for restaurant take away, and food deliveries

This plastic documentary is so wonderful and realistic that anyone can learn about the implications of even one bottle of plastic. When I learn about the pollution, it truly crushes my heart. But I have optimism if educational institutions step forward and distribute this film with students because it is the most effective way to raise awareness.

Sad to see how people reject all responsibility. Basically we trash, and the government should do something about it. As if we're just pets messing around and it's our owner's job to clean the mess behind us. That said, this is an outstanding documentary. People need to be aware of that. I don't understand how this barely talked about by the media. It should make front page every day.

Thank you James for making this very powerful & very much needed documentary on WORLD WIDE PLASTIC POLLUTION. I will absolutely make sure that I will do my part to clean all the body's of water that include streams, creeks, rivers, oceans & to clean up plastic pollution on not only our bodies of water in the world ,but all the land masses in the world. I pray that this documentary sends out the message of LOVE for our wonderful & blessed Planet that we call Earth & to be Stuarts for this awesome planet that was gifted to us to look after for all present generations & future generations. Let us all work together to make a difference to make this planet Earth which is called our BEAUTIFUL HOME.

A short bittersweet documentary. Well done and presented. We need more like this to educate people, instead of these half-hearted "let's try to shock people with one documentary in order to make it look like we care" things we get from the mainstream media

There's a school student making a machine/device that will collect the plastic and trash in the sea. He was concerned with the great ocean whirlpool dump in the pacific.

Thanks for making this documentary! We need many more. I'm sailing slowly around the world in my small boat and getting more and more concerned the further I go. Plastic everywhere.. I would really like to help in some way too.

James, this is superb. Helping spread a very important message. I hope the film hours far and wide for you. Thank you

Very down to earth dude, it's great that James is pushing hard to make a difference. Too much plastic non recyclable plastics is real. It's caused by the need for more and more disposable non renewable plastics, the most overpopulated countries have the most plastics in dumps, pits and in rivers, lakes and oceans. The major element contributing to this world catastrophe is overpopulation.

I’ve shared this with my family and friends.

Perhaps we need "plastics solutions fairs" where local companies can showcase their plastic free products - and give bigger companies a chance to offer what they are doing. This is a market solution that offers a positive opportunity for people and would empower people with hopeful outlooks, and make people feel that they have the power to choose non-plastic options.

Thank you so much! I need to spread this video. I live nearly plastic free already. But I am so prepped for doing more now. THX!

Thank you for this precious film. Tears are coming when I see, what the humans are doing to this wonderful world and the suffering it means for all the beautiful, precious living creatures all over the planet. Not only the people are suffering, even more the animals which are not at all responsible for all the rubbish, and they have no alternative to get it into her bodies and suffer and die or see her children's dying. I really hope we humans find a way and become responsible and aware creatures! And I hope they stop killing the rainforest!!! The humanity is not aware of what it is doing.

Excellent documentary 🤙 hopefully opening peoples eyes to the enormity of the problem. Devastating to see how much plastic is entering our precious oceans, but great to see some hope. Keep up the fight against plastic you amazing human! 💪🤙🙏🏄🏼‍♂️

Documentaries such as this one should be presented at schools. Its educational and it touches all of us. We all can make a difference.

This Breaks My Heart, i wish plastic was never invented

Excellent documentary. Moving and informative. Well done.

This is extremely good and you made us aware about the situation that is happening. I hope that plastic should be stopped from manufacturing

This kind of film material must be broadly presented to everybody in the whole world. We need much more people like you. Great job!.

In the 70's I came to california for the 1st time and in the morning i woke early to gather shalls. From a distance i could see a tide line of chips of various colors in long strain out lines piled about 3's high. It was all packing bits like squiggles and those bowl shaped chips about an inch in diameter. I was amazed and disappointed i wasn't the only one. They passed laws to limit the usage of syrophome for packaging at all food eateries. During the 80's and 90's there was a dramatic improvement way more seaweed and shells stillthe beach tar however. I think the laws have gone by the way side and the usage of plastic has dramatically increased since the 70's. move to change.

this needs soooo much more attention! Great video, i'm glad that there's people that care so much about the topic, cause i do so much

This really saddens me. I am teaching a novel that is dealing with many issues, but one of them is this issue of plastic and its effect on the environment. My learners are starting to see the impact of waste on the environment. Glad I found this. Will be bringing it into the classroom as a resource.

Shared on facebook. Thank you for making this! Great job filming too and editing.

Im polymer technology's student ..thnks for the information .. I'll try my best to prevent this problem from getting worst

Fantastic work James👍

Oil and gas companies have to be held accountable because they’ve created this mess. There are only so many beach clean ups we can do. It has to be fixed at the source. If they cannot be stopped, they need to be TAXED. All of their junk should be sent right back to them to deal with. It is frightening that we are reaching a tipping point globally. We NEED more biodegradable and compostable materials urgently.

I’ve always recycle and try to be conscientious about my families waste. The main problem I have is grocery shopping for my family. It’s almost impossible to buy certain food especially meats that are not wrapped in some form of plastic. I have to feed my kids and I really hope in the future they offer a type of packaging for foods in our cities grocery stores that isn’t plastic.

I am 62 years old, and growing up we had no supermarkets but local "corner" shops. You took a canvas bag to the shop and if you wanted potatoes for instance they weighed them and tipped them into your bag. Boiled ham, corned beef, and cheese were all sliced on a hand slicer and wrapped in grease proof paper. Milk was delivered by milkmen in reusable bottles.Glass pop and beer bottles had a deposit charge so it was in your interest to return them. You go to a supermarket today and most fruit and veg comes in bags. 6 cans of drink comes wrapped in plastic. You go on holiday and you can have your suitcase wrapped in cling film! Why! its in a case. I have just purchased a new bed and the plastic sheet that wrapped it all in was unbelievable. I know it is needed to keep the product clean during transit but it has to go somewhere. We need to say to manufactures when you make something what happens when it wears out or is no longer needed? How is it deposed of. If you can`t give that guarantee then they can`t go ahead. You live in a lovely part of the UK so this is on your doorstep. I live in the midlands and visit only on holiday. In saying that I remember in 1982 Me and some mates visited Malta. We went on a tour of the island. This involved lunch on board the boat. However, shortly after lunch we set off on our tour, we were leaning over the side of the boat enjoying seeing the fish in the beautiful clear blue water. Suddenly a door opened and all our plastic cups plates knifes and forks were swept overboard into the sea. We need to sort it now or the disaster movies about global issues we enjoy will be real. I will be dead and gone when things get really bad but I have children who have children and I fear for them. For the sake of mankind lets sort it. Thanks for your time in making this video. All the best for your future. ;-)

4:26 sums up what we are doing to our planet. We're not only ruining our own health as a species but killing other living creatures in the process. it's heartbreaking.

a very educational film and we love it. Hopefully many people will be more aware of the importance of processing plastic waste in order to save our beloved earth#banksampahmajubahagia

You did a great job...dude..♥️ I live in India.. Mumbai.. I really want my Mumbai my maharashtra, my india,my Asia, my world/our world.. To be clean.. Just like those Maldives.. Every single rive lake seas oceans must be just like those clean out there

Doesn't help when litter picks use more single use gloves and bags for the collection either. Wonder if government is able to help provide biodegradable bags and the helpers wash and reuse gloves?

This is the reason why Thanos was right?

This documentary shows us the consequences of plastic. It is sad to see so much plastic in the ocean and in other developing countries such as India. A big part of the problem is single use plastic. The film stated how we are all directly or indirectly responsible for the plastic in the ocean. We rely too much in single use plastics and confuse plastic as disposable. We need to work the plastic into the economy to have it recycled or disposed of properly. I would like to see more communities take initiative and organize cleaning parties to clean up our environment.

Thanks for sharing life with enthusiasm awesome video

Amazing video, very inspirational and eye opening. Thank you very much sir!

Nice job.. The way you communicated this issue is really great!

Thanks for the video. It is very informative. I will try to use it here at school as part of my environmental awareness talks.

Amazing documentary hopefully people will learn to help are amazing ocean! STOP PLASTIC POLLUTION!♻️

It's unbelievable and truly sad how much plastic we are able to create. And these pieces of plastic are very often not needed and not necessary.

@James Roberts : thankyou for this beautiful (sorry), documentary. Our planet has become an ugly place due to humans just trashing it basically. (in more ways than just PLASSSSTIC).... It sadden me as to what we are doing to our planet. sure, i bought a Gaterade drink, but did you know, I used that same bottle for 3 years just refilling it with water...... Greetz from Australia. Mick

The producers must share the blame and responsibility....they must be involved too in the cleaning...

Great video, very informative. Thank you.

This was made almost 2 years ago and I have just now heard about this, it’s so sad to see have much there was 2 years ago and how much more there is now. Please do what you can to send the least you can to landfills and keep our oceans clean.

thanks for all your effort to make this video !

It's really a great & informative video to spread the awareness of the plastic crisis that we are facing now and in the future. I am in the mean of spreading the consequences of continued usage of plastic. Plastic Islands are forming in the oceans and some are as big as countries. Birds are marine lives suffering in the frontier for our irresponsible actions. And this condition will soon come to us in the near future should we not to take proactive action NOW. I have made the first video (informative but not too serious) on plastic waste (within 1.5 mins) to reach out to more people that ONLY have very short and little time (on the bus, train, queue while waiting for somebody or something) to raise the awareness and not letting them losing their patience. Some of the footage within are very attractive and informative. Do you think if I can use some of this footage for my next video on plastic awareness part 2?

AMAZING! Please lovely people share this. This is the content we need. we all have to learn and educate ourselves about this issue. Say no to plastic! Go out in the world and just try to live plastc free. Dont go out and buy tonns of clothes who dont fill your emptiness. Our nature is more important. Its where we belong. No nature. No humans. Do we wanna see our children and loved ones die at age 50 because theres nothing left but trash? Please open your eyes. Lets work against it lets educate our friends and family!!! The more we talk about the more it gets a trend

Alot of work in there James___ Bravo ! ____ it's incredible to see all this at sea. ___ And it's only the tip of all the problems made by handmade. Also knowing that millions of people dies of the consequences of pollution each year. We also made a video-music about the subject trying to mobilize the world too. Lets hope it work ___ Bravo again for your documentary

James, it was a very nice documentary and I vow not to use single-use plastic anymore. You mentioned being in Mumbai that you might be picking up plastic on British beaches from India. Until just 74 years ago, Brits picked up so much from India that fills your major museums, many family riches and beyond that... now you plummeted to plastic..(take it as a sarcastic reality..😂)

Excellent information ...I had no idea it was this bad! I consider myself awake..but now after watching this I'm more awake than I was...I am a conscious shopper, eater ( vegan) and I try to do the 4'r's. I still think that industry could do much more. But at the end of the day..It's us, the Consumer.

So so sad we the world are in big trouble and nobody cares. I pray for the future of tomorrow 💔💔💔🙏🏻

I‘m gonna cry because I can‘t believe that the human is doing this to it‘s own planet...

Thank you for showing this to us.

if everyone think and work together, it’s will be wonderful, but it’s sad to think some people just don’t care!!! after watching this! I will change my way

The first step is self accountability and minute 10:00 is a perfect example of that....sad. Nobody views things as their problem and instead waits around for others to take action. It's everybody's problem.

Wow...good man!!!

In the last two years we have double digit growth in plastic industry

Very interesting,I love it!

Imagine - if you opened your front door to go to work or shopping or whatever - tomorrow morning - and you couldn't walk there because you were up to your ankles in GARBAGE - AND - it went on as far as your eyes could see. I started watching this film about an hour ago - and I've only seen 14 minutes - I have to keep stopping it - I'M TOTALLY FREAKED OUT - I can't stop crying. The first ALARM came as I saw the little albatross chick - his stomach full of plastic bottle caps and LIGHTERS! - he had died because he had starved to DEATH because there was nowhere in his stomach for FOOD to go. A few more minutes and we're in Mumbai - the river is so FULL of plastic you can barely see the water. I break down again. As I watch, I realize I have to send this to EVERYONE I know. We HAVE to let everybody KNOW - that's the problem - people just don't REALLY KNOW! It's worse than anybody realizes. What these kids in CORNWALLL are doing is really encouraging. It's our sweet children that will bear the burden of all this. Let's hope and pray it's not too late.

I make sure I use a reusable water bottle everyday and fill it up before I go somewhere or I fill it up at drinking fountain so that I don't have to buy a plastic water bottle. I encourage others to do the same. I have cotton bags and I bought a 4ocean bracelet. I really dislike single use plastics. Everyone should change take action if they can. It's not too hard. Spread the word!

I’m glad my teacher gave us an assignment about this.

Great video!!!

um excelente documentário , pena não ter legendas em português !

well done keep going!

We’re destroying the Earth, one plastic bottle at a time 😔

if you want to help and don’t know how, try buying a bracelet from 4ocean. they are hand assembled and made from glass, plastic and other harmful materials that workers found in the ocean. they also remove one pound of trash from the ocean for every bracelet bought!! i have 3 already and they are super comfortable and waterproof. please help make difference

I live in Vermont. It's one of the states of New England. We are called the green mountain state. I call everyday earth day and I try to pick up trash and recycle as much as I can. I even take trash bags with me and pick up trash to put in the dumpster. I try to recycle the bag I use and I just dump the trash out and reuse the bag 😊❤ we love mother earth 💟🌍

Truly horrific scenes playing out all over our planet. Plastic is now in the flesh of seafood we consume. We should have addressed this 20 years ago. With each passing year the issues grows by roughly 25% over the previous year. We can employ the poor in developing nation's to make nets with natural fibers. These nets can be used to carry paper bags which would otherwise rip during our commutes. Nets have the advantage of drying out faster than canvas bags. Reusable canvas bags are great. However, many still refuse to adapt. Which completely astounds me. Many complain they soil easily. Well so do the clothes we wear. Like our clothes, they can be thrown in the wash. I wash mine with the kitchen towels. All of the excuses spewed out by those opposed to reusable bags, are getting old and without merit. Cities that have banned plastic bags have not suffered in any way. We're now able to make all sorts of packaging out of natural fibers other than wood. Producing bags and food containers no longer requires us to cut down carbon sequestering, oxygen producing, Earth cooling trees, rain producing, and erosion controlling trees. Palm plantation owners are now harvesting and selling palm leaves to make compostable plates, bowls, and platters. These plantations used to hire people to collect and burn the palm leaves. Now they're making money off what was once an expensive and environmentally damaging practice. The days of utilizing cheap chemicals to mass produce items like styrofoam plates and cups must end. We have the technology and resources to find new ways of utilizing what is considered waste. With China boycotting our recycling, we should be building local facilities to recycle our domestic items. Instead, most of the items we recycle are ending up in landfills simply to save a few bucks. It is up to us to call on our leaders to pressure the government to act. We had it easy when China was buying our waste. During this time all of the money made from selling recyclables should have been invested in domestic recycling facilities. All forms of plastic and foam is recyclable despite what we're told. Plastics which are not safe for use as food containers can be made into hundreds of other items such as insulation, decking, fencing, benches, street pavers, roofing tiles, and siding to name a few. Instead roughly 20% of the plastics we consume is not considered recyclable. As a result those plastics go into our landfills or is incinerated. On top of that 20%, most of the plastics we put out for recycling was and is not being recycled because we don't have a national standard for processing our recycling. All items must be free of contamination. Meaning all of the glass, plastics, and metal must be clean. All paper products must also be free of organic debris. Keep paper and other recycling separate until you put it in the bin. This will keep the paper products from getting wet while the cleaned items dry. Soiled and wet paper items go in the composting bin. Almost 90% of the items we recycle go-to the landfill because they're dirty or have the caps still on them. Caps are made of different and hard to recycle plastic. Those sorting at recycling facilities don't remove caps. They throw the item away. Even if we cleared the oceans of all the visable plastics today, we'd still have micro plastics in our food for the next 100 plus years. Plastics still have a place in our lives. We simply need to treat them like a prescious commodity and toxic waste. Adding a special tax and refundable deposits to all plastic beverage and food containers will ensure those items are mostly recovered. The tax will be used to pay for recycling those items back to into nurdles for reuse. Charging a tax of a dollar or more for each single use bag at super markets, restaurants, clothing stores, or any other retails will cut down dramatically on their use. The funds collected can be used for projects removing plastic waste from beaches or bodies of water, the construction of new recycling facilities, and eduction programs regarding toxic plastic pollution plaguing our planet. As well as implementing new recycling programs aimed at the collection of all traditionally non-recyclable plastics which can be turned into roofing tiles for poorer communities via tax incentive schemes. Old toys, foam containers, vehicle bumpers, rubberized plastics, cellophane, shrink wrap, tarps, and all other bits of plastic not currently recycled, because of their composition, can be made into all sorts of every day items. Most of us spare no expense when it comes to the health of our families. Our connection to the environment affects our health. Let's rewrite our own future by cutting ties with our ignorance and indifference to the catastrophic damage cause by our overuse and wreckless disposal of plastics. We've caused more harm to our planet in just the last fifty years than ever in the history of mankind combined. Plastic pollution is in the air, the water, and now in our food. The first step is education and the collection of plastics in developing countries. Those in developing countries don't know or realize the impact they're having as a result of dumping plastics in the rivers and seas. They don't realize the plastic won't decompose or sink. Many see tarps and other thin plastics deteriorating in the sun. They honestly believe plastic will decompose into organic compounds. They don't realize the plastic is simply breaking apart, not decomposing. It requires government investment to educate and collect the plastics from it's people. Watching men, women, and children dump trash into the river is heart wrenching. If only they knew the impact of their actions, they'd likely stop. The only way they can stop is if they have somewhere to put it, it was collected, or if they were refunded deposits paid for the plastic items. Communities without access to clean water and a sewage system are not thinking about the adverse affect of dumping plastics into the river. They're merely just trying to survive. A government which can't provide potable water or sewage systems, does not have the resources to cope with plastics. In such instances, no single use plastics should be introduced or permitted. In Western countries we clean our plastic before placing it curbside for collection. We can't expect those in areas without enough drinking water to clean their plastics for reuse or recycling. If they could wash their plastics they could stuff their walls with bags or shredded tarps to insulate against the heat and cold. Bags can be woven into mats used for sleeping, new reusable strong bags, etc, etc... These mats are used under reed mats to keep the moisture wicking through causing premature decomposing. They can be used as an insulating air and noise gap under the corrugated roofing. Single use bags do not need to be single use. Those in developing countries need education to see all of the ways they can reuse this valuable commodity. Making and selling reed mats insulated with woven plastic bags would provide added income. Where water is available, they can wash and melt down most forms of plastic and foam and mix with sand or sawdust to create roofing tiles, bricks, wall panels, fencing, decking, floor tiles, paving tiles.... The list of uses other than food safe plastic items is nearly limitless. Advancements in decomposing plant based plastics is going to help. However the key to ending our addiction to everything plastic is utilizing wasted plant material to make sustainable products to replace the plastics. Plastics will always be a part of the modern world. I don't deny or even pretend otherwise. The fact is we haven't been living sustainably for the last 250 years. I struggle to understand why we, the richest nation, are still burning coal today just to produce electricity. Why is it not code to make solar mandatory for all new construction or roof replacements? Why are vertical wind turbines not built into each new home? Why are homes built so poorly they're leaking air dirty electricity was used to condition? Lastly, I do realize some of the synthetic materials in our oceans was deposited accidentally or as a result of storms ripping communities apart and sinking vessels. Shipping containers should be watertight with GPS locators. Shippers and insurers must be tasked with retrieving these containers when a ship sinks or they fall off during storms. Aside from floods or tsunamis, plastic nurdles are released into the ocean after shipping containers fall overboard or a bulk vessel filled with nurdles sinks. Imposing massive fines to shippers and insurers for each container and/or vessel lost at sea, is the only way to cut down on reckless shipping practices by building better ships and better shipping containers. Shipping companies make billions in profits every year. Many companies do so at the expenses of the environment and their employees by continuing to use old overloaded vessels until they break apart and sink in heavy seas. Or they send ships in harm's way to save money. On average over two dozen 500+ gross ton ships sink each year. In addition there are on average 1650 containers are lost at sea each year, plus the equivalent amount of bulk cargo. All in the name of greed.

Review This documentary made by James Roberts is about the plastic pollution in our ocean especially in India which is responsible for about 60% of plastic waste in the ocean. One of the parts that really stuck out to me is when James visits Sarah Nelms a marine biologist and she talks about microplastics. She shows us micro plastic under a microscope and explains how plastic takes hundreds of years to break down completely and it becomes microscopic with wear. She says that she found micro plastic in seal poop and that scientists don’t know exactly how this affects the animal’s body. The main part of the documentary is when James takes a trip to India and discovers that in some places trash collectors don’t come, so the people there throw their trash in a river that leads to the ocean. He is appalled and saddened by this and talks to a local who says that the blame really falls on India’s government. James also meets up with a man determined to clean the beach and he states how hard this is when trash is constantly being washed back on shore. Throughout the documentary the message is clear that plastic is changing our world for the worst and that it should not be treated as disposable.

Amazing Dave

The family couldn't even think about how to dispose of plastic because they were living day by day trying to focus on how to survive themselves. When you live in those kinds of conditions, there's no capacity to even think about environmental sustainability. In developed countries, we have the privilege to worry about these kinds of issues and we should set an example for the world instead of shaming developing societies for not doing the same. They'll eventually get there but it'll take time.

How does this only have 30.000 views?!

This is how far we have come

Great video, sir.

What I felt bad about was how my fellow Indian interviewed near the plastic drain simply told the camera that it was Gov.’s problem not ours....

Half of these comments are to prevent plastic waste but half of the people writing them are still using plastic

The documentary is amazing, its very heart touching i feel bad for our earth. we are continuously destroying not only earth but our life too

Watched this video for a school project, helped a lot.

Intelligent and brave stuff.

Nice work to make people aware of our man created mess, here in India it's worse than common, we some people fight against it butter government is not in our favour but instead with billionaire businesses to destroy our places deforestation, coal issues, unplanned development, no use of renewable energy, etc and the worst mentality of Indian people,these people don't want to take initiative to understand the harmful effects of it but instead are least bothered😔😶

Watching this for class but it's actually really interesting.

I am school for Environmental Sustainability and Engineering... I've seen these beaches and the madness of our own makings (and consumerism) that drive them to death....it's marvelous that so many are out there cleaning these beaches... But the question still remains... Where does the plastic go? Back to the recycling centers and trash..... And right back to the beaches... We have a say in how much plastic is produced. It's not an overnight fix. Nothing sustainable ever has been. But if we don't start banning plastics from our shopping ventures, why should anyone stop producing it? There are nearly 9billion of us on this planet already. If everyone claim that one person can't make a difference... We'll be extinct in 30 yrs or less. If everyone says that one person can create change... That's 18 billion hands. That's a big difference. But if nothing changes - - nothing changes.

Great documentary!

15:50 even the oceanwaves is dirty,amazing!

Cant believe I just had to watch two ads for this thing for class
