Thank you for broadcasting the message about plastics. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

''Greenwash''....you don't know what you don't know...thanks to you two, now we do. One day this will be a non issue, until then keep educating, keep doing your ( our) part because the journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step and eventually we will all walk together.

Love this. I am having a war with plastic. Use the mesh bags you have, grocery canvas bags, quart and gallon reusable bags for sandwiches and stuff. The one thing I can suggest, almost every thing we buy comes in some plastic bag, like frozen berries from Costco or the dog treats bag, so I use them for my garbage rather than another big plastic garbage bag. Thanks for bringing this subject to light.

Great tutorial on plastics. Love the content and the production quality. Always liked.

Love the videos! And thanks for not drowning out the scuba sounds with the music and voice over. I love to hear the bubbles! It makes me feel like I'm down there with you!

Happy Easter Nikki and Jason. It wouldn't be a Sunday morning without my weekly dose of the Wynns. Thank you for educating me on biodegradable plastics.

I'm 79 and have for some time been very disposable conscience years. Upsets me greatly to watch others being so careless I or you cannot do it by our selves . Thank you for being so careful and explaining it so well maybe someone will start being careful because of it !!!! Thank You I would like to support with monies but I myself had an employer who did not forward my ssi on and and that's a civil offence and takes thousands to get them into court you win (but that 10,000 + ) not there oh well I get to watch you !!~ Thank You again .

You guys never ramble, even when you think you are!! Great stuff.

I love the stretchy net bags-they finally converted me away from plastic bags at the grocery market. My favorite thing about them is how much they expand, and I only have 4, so the people who work at the grocery HAVE to cram everything I get into 4 bags. They hate it-I love it, lol. No more 1 tomato in a big plastic bag nonsense :).

Another fantastic episode...thanks! I was interested in the bio-degradable plastic bag comments and I agree 100% with what you have said.....too easy for them to be 'disposed of' over the side of a boat etc. Great to get a timely reminder of what's what, thanks for the heads up. I can confirm that here in Australia those type of bags (from the supermarkets when you buy groceries) are now BANNED in most supermarkets across the country...a good thing for sure. We have an annual huge Clean Up Australia Day and volunteers pick up hundreds of tonnes of discarded rubbish from beaches, creeks, rivers and lakes...at least that's a start I guess. I live on the Queensland coast and the bags are not the major problem for us, it's empty water bottles, discarded fishing line and broken sections of fishing nets that are washed up with the high tides on a regular basis. Those items do not break down and create havoc with dolphins and migrating whales but every year the same thing keeps happening. Locals do a daily pick up of the mess off the beaches but none of the authorities seem to give a thought as to how this stuff pollutes our waters, it just keeps happening. I hate to say this but visitors to this area are by far the more serious offenders with dropping rubbish over the side into the sea, outta sight outta mind I guess. I shudder to think what the oceans will look like in another 20 years! Very sad!! Thanks for sharing, just loved the underwater footage. Love your work!!

Thank you very much for a very informative video. I appreciate your helping clean the ocean of plastic and informing your followers about the dangers of plastic. You both are the best. We only have one ocean, lets take care of it. Be safe.

Purple fish paradise! So sweet and touching that you both pick up plastics. Thanks for teaching about saving the seas, an issue that’s dear to my heart.

Thanks for taking a few minutes to add your tips on reducing plastic use. It’s appreciated 😊

Top top, top, top job in highlighting the plastics crisis, and great to see so many like minded people leaving relevant comments! Spreading the word.. it`s up to all of us so one huge group hug to all you lovely folks, and well done The Wynns!!

You kids are sooo cool. Brings back all my memories of my 45 coronado, sailing all over the Bahamas, when I was your age. Go for it guys, won't be long before your my age. As Jimmy Buffet sings "Taken polaroid pictures that are barely in focus, just to look at when we finally slow down"

Thank you for raising awareness! 😊💕

A tiny submarine for the cats is a great idea! Lol 😁

Sunday morning coffee with the Wynns! The image of Scuba Cat was hilarious. If any cat would scuba Singha is that cat! Thanks for cleaning up the plastic and spreading the word. Here in FL we live in a bayou off a river and it is shocking to see the plastic trash that flows into the waterways, especially after storms. I collect what I can with a net and kayak. Cheers y’all! ☕️

We must all do our part to protect this beautiful plant that keeps us alive! Thank you for researching and sharing. Our planet needs our voices! Love you both, maureen

Wow! The numbers you quoted are staggering! Our poor planet.... Thanks for using your platform to educate us all. I don't know what yet but, I've been moved to action. I just have to do something!

Thank you for the education. I too, feel mislead on this topic. I love those veggie net bags you have!

About to start my day right! Coffee and the Wynns!!

Always look forward to these videos.

Amy and I couldn’t love you guys more. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us all.

With regard to the plastic bags, we have made reusable bags out of plastic bags by crocheting the plastic into really stong re usable bags, i know it doesnt solve the problem but it keeps them out of the ocean and land fill. they also look really funky!

Please don't stop, I could listen to you 'ramble' for hours! well done :)

Scuba fun! A little reminder ramble once in a while is good for all, Nikki! I like the net idea!

Thank you so much for the information on plastics, the best way to learn is through repetition so I would love to see more videos on caring for the earth/oceans. Again thank you. You guys are awesome.

Thank you booth once again for educating me about the need to be careful about my rubbish, seeing the bag floating in the water and your comment about the jellyfish really drove it home. Stay safe and keep up the good work.

I just watch your trip back to Texas, Nikki, That visit , to me very sad. I'm an old man so I can get sad. Both of you stay the way you are.

Thanks so much for using your platform and your influence to help educate and inform about such an important topic. And just awesome that you’ve become Ambassadors! 60 Minutes did a piece not too long ago about the huge problem of plastics in our oceans. I’ve been really changing my shopping and product decisions, like I no longer buy liquid hand soap, but have gone back to bar soap that is without packaging or wrapped in paper. And in my location in California, the grocery stores stopped providing plastic bags quite a while ago. Customers bringing in their own tote bags is the norm here now. Small steps in the right direction! Thanks for another wonderful video 🙏🤗

Every Sunday I learn something knew, thanks. I have been watching your videos about solar and lithium batteries as we get ready to change out our 6 volt lead acid batteries on our RV. Thanks for keeping your old RV videos available they are a great resource for my husband and myself.

Thanks so much, Nikky and Jason! The plastic info is so important to share! And your time lapse (night shots) were spectacular! Thanks!!

Happy Easter Nikki and Jason. Thanks for talking/edit (taking (even)us swimming with ya.

Nice to see You two again. You two look great, happy and healthy.

We already have reusable bags for groceries and the small knit mesh bags for fruits and veggies. Didn't stop us from picking up one of your bags as well. Thanks for doing your part to help people make the change.

Really loved the stars and boats in the time lapse @7:17. Simply Beautiful! Thanks so much for caring for our planet and teaching about the great alternatives to plastics bags and such. Reusable is a great solution. We can all do more to help.

Thank You Both!, good Job!

Your vid's are amazing and the music selection is just AWESOME. Thanks for all the great times down there.

Beautiful video and great information! Thanks again!

Thx for the info. I also now use bags for produce as well as groceries. 😍

Great episode, interesting information that I was unaware of. Thanks!

Great video and very informative ..it sure makes you think ...thank you both and bless you .

Thx for sharing all that info...they had the coolest cloth bags in Morocco .. not a plastic one in sight! Loved the scuba dive - Oh My Gosh so beautiful. XO, Kelly

Great information, thanks for shareing.

Thank you for this most valuable information on the bags. We, as a whole, tend to take so much for granted. Now I am more aware.

I love all the educational aspects of your videos

Thank you for the information. I really need to educate myself better.

We love the tight mesh veggie / fruit bags that you too, have. I have been using canvas grocery bags for 30+ year ~ kind of one of the original carry your own bags kind of person! Nice video :) well spoken.

Never too many reminders of our need to alter our lifestyle and use of plastics - thank you

Thank you for being a responsible divers and more important responsible humans.... Buen Camino.

Another wonderful anchoring sight. Thanks for sharing the info about the plastic bags. In my opinion this is just another way to get out of accountability on what people print. Or even suggest. Thanks for taking me along on this beautiful adventure. Hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend

Another fine adventure perfectly presented and, as an added bonus, a good lesson on single-use plastic bags. Thank you. Safe travels, fair winds, and following seas. Give the kitties a pat from me and Clyde the cat.

I love the PSA about plastic. Thank you :)

you are living my dream, thank you .love my Sundays

Thank you gor clearing that up!

Thank you thank you! I’ve been paying attention to zero waste concepts recently. Organic muslin bags are good for bulk rice, flours, sugars & other bulk powders. Also body wash bars instead of liquids in plastic bottles are good. Can use them as shampoo too. Also toothpaste tablets instead of toothpaste in tubes. Not sure if a variety of mason jars sizes are good for sailing since they are glass, but taking those to grocery shop are good too. Have you tried the bees wax wraps for produce storage?? Anyway I’ll shut up now. Thanks for spreading the good word! #zerowaste #plasticfree 👌✌🏻

The fish are amazing.Thanks for cleaning up!

I had no idea, frustrating how we the public continue to be misled. Thanks for doing your part to make a difference in the world!

Yoly collects used plastic bags used by markets and places like Walmart/Home Depot etc. She cuts them into 2 inch strips, twists them into something called "plarn" (plastic yarn) and weaves/crochets them into 6 foot long bed mats for homeless people. They insulate as well as allow water to easily pass through them, similar to the camping mats many RVers use. She is part of a group at her church that teaches the technique to others and they distribute over a hundred a year to various shelters.

I would because I could! Happy Easter guys! Thanks for the vid!

such a shame what is happening with plastic, thanks for sharing, here's to hoping for change, love watching you videos keep up the good work !

Great night video -able to see the stars and boat lights- sweet! Thx. Also, much gratitude for the 'bio-degradable' vs. compostable plastic bag info.

awesome info on plastics

Great message on this Earth Day! Thanks!

Thanks for the info ❤️

beautiful underwater and time-lapse!

Love the dive and snorkel vids, keep it up. Time to wash the dingy lol. Love you guys

wow really wonderful adventure. you guys are rock. thumbs up!

Good points, all. Some fantastic visuals. Always always worth the watch

Happy Easter Nikki Jason another great Sunday with yell just makes my day so much better

Thank you so much for educating all of us and just putting the issue out there again. I think Cleo showed up to make a particular statement of support for this video.

I love when you show pictures of the stars! ❤️

Amazing video!!!! Thank You!!!!

Happy Easter🐇 thank you both so much for educating!

Great video, More Scuba please.

My Sunday inspiration on Monday! Thank you for showing us the not so pretty side of beautiful places🙁. As always stay safe💕

Packaging science major here I study how to design trash among other things. Let me further confuse you. Compostable, bio-based and biodegradable plastic are all similar, but different. A biodegradable bag with break down, it just may take a year. Furthermore as it breaks down it really just makes smaller and smaller pieces which likely have a larger impact. Most importantly you typically can't recycle biodegradable plastics. Compostable plastics will break down naturally and safely. But again you can't recycle them if you want too. They have to be composted. The third option is bio-based which is where it is made from natural materials but they can not biodegrade and they will not work in a compost pile. Now this may sound like the worst option, however it takes a tremendous amount of energy to produce plastic. But it takes significantly less to recycle it. If you can get most people onboard with recycling this is likely the best option with a typical recycling system (for discarded plastics). I will mention paper as well because people love to suggest that. Well paper actually takes more energy than plastic but will break down naturally. In terms of grocery bags the best option is reusable bags hands down. But that is never going to have 100% implementation. I read about lots of future technologies in packaging every month. Most are 5-10 years out if they ever come to market and the rest will never see mass market use for a whole bunch of reasons mainly cost and looks. Two things I am optimistic about are chemical recycling of plastics and programmable biodegradable plastics. Chemical recycling solves the recycling contamination problem with plastics by breaking them up into their chemical components and not just melting them. Programmable biodegradable degradable plastics can be set to decompose after a certain amount of time. Further more these plastics are supposed to be home biodegradable. Not sure about compost safe. It is important to remember that there is no one perfect solution to packaging sustainability. But their are a plenty good solutions that to work depending on the situation. It is very important to study the lifecycle of the product so you can pick the best current option. But it is just as important to reevaluate those options every few years. Currently I am trying to convince a multi-billion dollar company that they should give a damn about sustainability even if they (falsely) think their customers don't care.

BRAVO ! Good reminder and great dive !

Thanks

Great video! Even greater message. Thank you. Thank you greater still, for removing the plastic- especially at that depth. Unless you free dive, I would think only scuba diving would be the way to both see and get to. It has been KZfaq that I have learned the most about plastics. Today I’m a much more aware consumer. I only use reusable but mostly cloth bags. I will be editing this post to include an amazing KZfaq channel. I have to check the spelling first! Until next time... Donna Edited to add: The KZfaq channel is The Skoolie Dean is the creator He has a personal mission to pick up trash, wherever he is. He focuses on the micro trash, like plastic bottle lids, candy and gum wrappers for example. He has organized other nomads to clean up trash on BLM land. It was shocking to see all that they collected. I just think he deserves a shoutout for his continued focus on making places cleaner than when he arrived there!

You are right on!!

Happy Easter! Great place for a good scuba dive

good info. thanks

Thank you for taking the time to explain and differentiate "biodegradable" and "compostable" labeling. I love that you guys try your best to incorporate sustainable living. Very inspired by your lifestyle!

I'm just going to say THANK YOU! The reasons are far too numerous to list here, so just THANK YOU!

The whole gambit on this one! Super scenery shots, educational, funny and just plain cool! Thanks.

Thanks for the information, its not like I was uninformed however you guys put a spotlight on the pollution of our waters problem, thank you for reminding everyone to do their part to help save our planate particularly the ocean.

thank you

"Most of our world is down here." Very sobering when you put it like that. 🐳 💕

Great video guys... love the night shot of the boats. WOW... thanks for the tip on the biodegradable bags we were miss lead too.

Thanks for the entertainment, and the education! Oh, and another beautiful time-lapse around the halfway mark. 8-) Tasteful music during the diving too!

Happy Easter to you two awesome travelers!!!

GORGEOUS CAMERA shot thank u for sharing

Loved you music in this video. Thanks for information.

Excellent information, one of your best.

Jason, your ability to run a camera is absolutely unreal. You guys make movies with better quality than Hollywood. This channel has the best videography on youtube. Please keep up the great work--your efforts do not go unnoticed. BRAVO!

Little known is hemp fiber can be made into "plastic" like products such as grocery bags and drink bottles etc and will decompose as a fertilizer in less than 2 months

Love you guys!!!

Great info🤍💜💙💚💛🧡❤️💗♥️
