broadcasting live from moscow this is archie's really glad to have you with us syrian government forces launched their biggest the sweep against protesters in the northwest of the country blocking the various gate to turkey meanwhile russia urges the un security council to bring both sides to the negotiating table. license to kill israeli special forces get the green light to shoot at palestinian propane dependence protesters the u.n. is expected to vote on palestinian statehood later this month something that israel strongly opposed to the system. and is seeking a solution from russia and ukraine agreed to talk sounds kiev pushes for continued

gas supplies carnaval the cold with pricing levels a good deal but place it in place now it was struck in two thousand and nine and ended badly in gas prices. and next on our team watch how global seas turn to plastic soup as we follow the investigation of a team of environmentalists. the thing that's most shocking to me is of all the samples we take whether they be at the surface ten meters thirty meters or down a hundred meters every single sample has had plastic and from the samples we found in one thousand nine hundred nine there was a ratio of six to one plankton now in two thousand and eight we found a blanket ratio of forty six to one so that's over eight times as much lastic in the environment. we project. come.

charging so shocking you are not. quite class like a suit but the north is a regular there's the city. scientists have shown that there is no untouched zone left on this planet every square mile of ocean contains tens of thousands of bits of plastic the result of our consumption two hundred twenty pounds a year per inhabitant. we will not change the evolution of the society we are using less and less time to prepare the food for the luncheon for the dinner and as well there we. move and we have the habits to eat outside of the house so more and more we will

use products which are much more decades and ready to be consumed for the drinks or for the food then we were used to use in the past and that in the first ten years of the current century since two thousand we produced as much plastic as we produced in the entire century that preceded it we're using at the moment in excess of two hundred sixty million tons of plastic every year worldwide now around about a third of that is used for single use items for items of packaging that are used once and then discarded so it's a material that lasts for very long time in the marine environment and yet we use it and throw it away within a year. all these oceans of plastic there because of our carelessness or is it because the system doesn't work properly. what happens to plastic when we throw it away. this is one of the biggest garbage trips in the united states. has levels or is out of los angeles county about seventy eight cities and five

point two million people landfill then it is permit at about thirty thousand two hundred tons per day i would double the cows fours if you take a football field from post to post fill it up with waste about ten feet high or low over three meters that's how much waste is except in your day. in the united states and europe the least half the plastic we threw away is simply better it. thousands of bottles and bags are not in this type of tip every year. between them the two continents buried four to five million metric tons of plastic in two thousand and seven. in the face of this exponential consumption the infrastructures can't keep up. only five percent of the plastic used in the world is recycled and the west the main consumer does not even have the means to deal with. this is the port of china in

india part of our recycled waste ends up here by the container for. hidden from european eyes is treated behind these doors which are usually kept closed. you see containers are then unloaded and then the material is stopped in this yard in this yard as you can see there is a different different quality from different origin the material from germany some from france some from america some from the middle east and at some who will let us into future images number one recycled plastic bottles which. is a broker he believes that comes in several recycling bins and resells it here where

it can be treated by cheap labor. like the electability line of business is doing well. the export of use plastic has been increasing by thirty percent a year in two thousand and seven france sent seven hundred thousand metric tons of plastic and broke as you see the build up from france you can see from the labels you may be able to identify the bottles that maybe you would think of a in the garbage but these have come here now and it will be retitled and made again into valuable bottles more product which could be used again. the plastic recycling future comes from western countries like legally the recyclers hope it will show us how we take our vote rubbish healing coming just european consumers to send the.

message to the utopian customers utopian how homeowners are utopian when it will but it's very sleek and simple who took our polyesters is how to be associated in keeping the environment and clean and good for the human belief i have a week i liked the last part of it you throw in the dustbin had gotten word into those products that you use every day maybe it is a shirt it is a piece audience that backbencher art it is the bottles you use thinking what are audience. for.

so we try to have zero waste of possible by trying to have no plastic come into our homes and then end up in the garbage can so no one has gone for a radical solution for years but when we go to buy things in the grocery store but we buy bread it sometimes comes the plastic bags to get the value to go to an actual bakery we are now making these out of old t. shirts so we've been collecting t. shirts from schools and from good well when people are thrown away their shirts instead of using plastic bags and of course we never buy plastic water bottles anytime we want to get water we bring our only fill up at a town called her daughter we bring these with us everywhere so that you get these habits you develop them and then you don't think about them and different member you have my bad side of the market. even organic which doesn't go into plastic bags

think it's. show us the lines and you get to see underneath. everything. and in the come out of it look some shallots some garlic. so there's a recycling bin we try to throw anything away if we buy something we try to make sure the packaging is recyclable the idea of waste is something completely invented by humans so there should be no waste if you're recycling if you're conscious about the things you buy and you remember that everything you buy has to go somewhere. no plastic in the home equals no plastic in the tip or going abroad plus no plastic

lee ocean. that's marcus and his question time yes they're already off on another adventure pedaling two thousand miles between vancouver ninety one to convince whoever they meet on the way. with them plastic is a problem full stop and it needs to be eradicated at the symbols. the benefits which are brought by the use of the plastic material also great for the society so great for the consumers in terms of security for food in terms of life and useful transport etc there would be stupid just to cancel those very strong benefits in order to just. correct something which is just at the end of the life of the product and because that is a wrong be a view of the people and of the society we hear that same line from the weapons

manufacturers guns don't kill people keep people healthy people we hear the same mind from the posix industry that plastics aren't the problem it's people that are the problem it's people littering but there's no way to educate every single person on the planet to have dispose of their plastics properly so the industry and the manufacturers have a responsibility to design a product that if people literally if a plastic bag blows out of a garbage truck it won't have the sort of impact that we're seeing. can we do without plastic. for the moment. but in europe a few minutes a planet is a trying at least in part on the coastal town of la you don't find it so faced with the problem of plastic pollution. it's beaches and the sea so ten years ago it made some changes. with well there's bread there's vegetables a bit of everything if we. were all there in the summer months there's

a lot of stuff from their gardens you know why things like flowers grass from their lawns that sort of thing and people whatever people happen to have a tome that's biodegradable for give you the other. for the moment these banks are one of the few alternatives to plastic. organic waste is collected every week in banks made of stopped. little have to be sorted the banks break down not tree along with the from waste. he said getting i that point to make a bio degradable bags are mixed with the organic waste so they break down completely within three or four weeks most us up of saw the potato and corn starch that they're made of it reacts like any other organic matter it has on it and it's like material healings for example that infest. the resulting compost is used by the region's fungus so two million organic banks go back to the earth each year.

and a bit more plastic has not ended up strewn around or in the sea. as we successfully sell to hawaii to get attention to the issue of plastic marine debris with what hundreds of school and college students attend marcus and his lectures all along that trip from canada to mexico. now you might think ok this animal it eats plastic it goes in the mouth out of the red and that's it no big deal the problem is other and it's all so this past is past the particles i think stayed in her stomach for a long time the plastic these plastic particles they're not benign they don't just sit there and do nothing while and marcus raises another question the industry has

millions of tons of chemicals to plastics what kind of effects do they have. these freshwater snails are sensitive to the slightest variations in their environment their service sentinels one day the federal agency of limbo asked you to study the effects from this guster upon the chemical substance whose effects are still unknown this pheno day. he was surprised but when the heading. was a complete new phenomenon for us we had and lost thousands of these new people and never found something comparable before and so we repeated the experiment once twice and even

a third time you'll discover that ten percent of the females presented significant sexual differ missions and that their egg production was four times normal this uterus where the two glands is considerably larger in superhuman compared with the normal flow and this specific specimen and addition exhibits and this great rupture of the overbuilt you can imagine the power or the masses which have caused this rupture it's it's really like. an eruption of a broken know. your grassed where is this feel like a phone. the answer is in our plastics this antioxidant is added to baby's bottles. and packaging but it also risking. i was really shocked because you have to imagine these are just concentrations

which can be found in every supposed orca and it is hard to believe i confess that these very low environmental relevant concentrations such harmful effects like the killing of opinions as influenced. the scientists are really beginning to discover the plastics in the oceans released chemical substances into the environment which have effects that are still you know . how much a strix once the products are in the water. how do these pollutants accumulate in the food chain. our marine animals affect it. and to what extent. was a. well. that's what the crew of the world one left on the main trying to find out by studying the mediterranean fin with the world's second largest way.

out there so we got plenty. to do of these animals are contaminated the scientists needed to study fact samples. of. your humiliation. and the results of the biopsies are clear just like polar bears and atlantic whale and so the fin whales fact contains fire retardants which are additives to plastic . high. no one yet knows what effect because products have on speech.

and they come in. may we are in the middle of nowhere miles from any continent and we find substances and pollutants that have no business being here. you would think they were produced hundreds of miles away i love being carried by the current market but what bothers me most is that we are contaminating the whole planet from there clearly in the remotest and wildest place that's. shocked by his own discomfort you wondered if the food wrapped in plastic that we eat every day were contaminated by certain substances. he put some more snails and bottles of water for forty eight weeks.

those neither of which were kept in those produced much more embryos compared to girls in the glass bottles there are compounds in the plastic material in these p.t. bottles that leach into. a snails we do not know which compounds we haven't identified them yet but they are k.b.'s from being. called new wood all they must realize when we want to put a material or substance on the market it undergoes the barkly testing which enables us to show that it is harmless is the results are passed on to scientific and public organizations we will decide whether or not we're allowed to commercialize its new protein in thirty's or constantly checking all the products that we sell pointed. this man who are affected by these chemical products i mean i'm told the couple who

use plastic like everyone else have agreed to have left this. furnace one is an epidemiologist for years she has been carrying out tests on the fatality in two thousand and five she started studying the effects and finds another chemical additive for plastics she selects and living with a high level of silence in their urine and still have the effect on their infant male children. no one had done this before. this validates particularly the ones of most concern are called anti and richer as they

lower testosterone they do it actually to adults as well and but it's more important what happens in the womb because the changes that occur in the world are that permanent for life and so because it's and she and her janick lower testosterone at the critical time will alter the path of development of the male genitalia so normally it starts in a feminine default if you will and then becomes masculine i was under the influence of testosterone and that process is interfered with by certain talents when they get to a certain level. fairly used in food packaging tools for example to soften the plastic. but in rodents the feminized the species. the testicles disappear and the penis becomes shorter. the distance between the testicles and the anus which is

normally double in the moon's shrinks and becomes more like night of females. the idea and the courage to try taking the same missions with human babies got the same results. when levels of d.h. be the most considered the most toxic though it were higher in the mother's year and then the boys were more likely to have testicles that were not completely descended into the spread of intended to have a significantly smaller piers so i wouldn't even as an eclipse ecologist and not a specialist for human toxicology i wouldn't expect negative impacts on adults so if i dies i using mineral water for completely worthless there's absolutely no danger i don't i'm not so convinced when we're talking about pregnant women or very

young children. because in these very sensitive phases of the life cycle i'm careful taken to avoid any estrogen it can make us. see plastics contain substances that can eventually migrate but only in an infinitesimal quantities which are well below the norms. certain scientists use operating procedures that are unjustified uki the force in these arouse emotions which are then regrettably picked up by the media and creates an unfounded scare among the public at large. but after all this is a democracy so everyone has the right to express themselves at all they will cost me. is it a case of scaremongering son exists all of this simply asking you questions. over here the results of the test for mistreating the chemical component of plastic

the body was by and large those two people are just like you or me it's like background noise but left back or noise however means that we all have they spend all day in our bodies now and again as you know this is a product that didn't exist before our grandparents didn't have any it's a chemical products created by industry and now we're all impregnated with it now we have to do we don't recall study of this time has been carried out in front but every one tested in the united states and not only was female but also found in the bone. in spite of the ocean pollution and the effect on armaments in spite of the contamination of news man has not yet decided to do with plastic on the contrary production has been increasingly ten percent a year. in india plastic use is twenty times less than in europe and the united states but with

a billion inhabitants it will soon be one of the pilots three biggest consumers. how can this country stop polluting its previous uncursed with its plastics how can it go on absorbing on waste plastic the indispensable ally of off everyday life we thought it was a net substance over a century we've poured at least one hundred million tonnes of it into the oceans but now a boomerang effect is taking place. the situation is hopeless. it is getting worse at a near exponential rate and shows no sign of decreasing no one seems to be able to envision a future without plastic and no one seems to be willing to admit

that change needed to get rid of the plastic pollution problem is drastic incremental change small changes will not make a difference. moccasin and the refuse to give up you are coming here today to bring awareness to the stock market wherever they go they keep up the struggle to change those in mentalities and finally put an end to plastic age. the pressure is on live with change people's attitude. maybe we should secure this way some things as a. visit to. the
