frowsy i want to thank you so much for watching tonight and christine for that. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so for late is that you understand it and then he lives something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm charming welcome to the big picture. download the official auntie humbly cation joy on the phone called touch from the on choose up story. life on the go. video on demand all keys mind comes an r.s.s. feeds now in the palm of your. question on the call

sheet don't come. the thing that's most shocking to me is of all the samples we've taken 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 plastic blanken now in two thousand and eight we found the plastic bank in ratio of forty six to one so that's over eight times as much plastic in the environment. we project all the where we see come through. the chart so shocking here in a. place like a soup of the north it's a really good there's the soup. 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 all consumption two hundred twenty pounds a year of their inhabitants. we

will not change the evolution of the society we are using less and less time to prepare the foods for the luncheon for the dinner and as well there we. move and we have the habit to eat outside of the house so more and more we will use products which are much more packaged 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 this 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 a 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 current listeners. 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. but hell's level serves our los angeles county about seventy eight cities and five point two million people landfill takes a turn and is permit at about thirty thousand two hundred tons per day i would add a callous force if you take a football field from post to post followed up with waste but ten feet higher little over three meters that's how much waste is accepted here a day. in the united states and europe at least half the plastic we threw away is simply better. than thousands of bottles and bags end up in this type of tip every year. between them the two continents married 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 chinari in india part of our recycled waste ends up here by the container for. hidden from european eyes all rubbish is treated behind these doors which are usually curtain closed. you see containers that then unloaded and then the material is in this yard in this yard as you can see there is a different different quality from different origin of the material from germany

from france some from america some fundamentally it's this man absolutely religious in the future in just number one recycle of plastic bottles. is a broker he does the contents of the recycling bins and resells it here where it can be treated point cheaper labor. like it will be. a news line of business is doing well. the export of use plastic has been increasing going thirty percent a year in two thousand and seven france and seven hundred thousand metric tons of plastic and broke. at u.c.d. bales of from france if you see from the label you may be able to identify the bottle that maybe you were abused and sent away in the garbage bin because i've come here now and it will be thought i killed and made again into valuable bottle more product which could be used again.

plastic recycled my future comes from western countries i believe in the recyclers hope now showing us how it will take care of the rubbish dealing coming just european consumers to send even more. seats to the utopia customers utopian how homeowners are utopian when it will but it's very straight and simple who took up all your stars he's proud to be associated in keeping complete and good for the human belief i have a week i looked north bottoms if you throw in the dustbin at god what they did to those products that you use every day maybe it is a part of that back and said are it is the bottles which are used for thinking what are already things are only juices.

for. so we try to have zero waste of possible by try to have no plastic come into our homes and then end up in the garbage can so marcus and i have gone through radical solution for years when we go to buy things at the grocery store but we buy bread and sometimes comes a plastic bag she had to follow you to go to an actual bakery we are now making these out of whole t. shirts so we've been collecting t. shirts from schools and from good well when people are drawn away their shirts instead of using plastic bags and of course we never buy a plastic water bottles anytime we want to get water we bring our own lethal up at

a tap filtered water we bring these with us everywhere and so you get these habits you develop them and then you don't think about them you just remember that my bad luck with the market. even organic which doesn't go into plastic things to get it and. show us the ones that's. going to see underneath. carefully. in the bottle and 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 things that invite and you remember that everything you buy has to go somewhere.

oh. no plastic in the home equals no plastic in the tip or going abroad plus no plastic in the ocean. that's marcus and i'm is a question so timeless they're already off on another adventure pedaling two thousand miles between vancouver and t one to convince whoever they meet on the way . that i'm plastic is a problem full stop and it needs to be eradicated at the source. the benefits which are brought by the use of the signal to you also great for the society so great for consumers in terms of security for food in terms of life news for transport etc it 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 behavior of the people and of the society we hear that same line from the weapons manufacturers guns don't kill people keep people kill people we hear the same line from the plastics 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 act dispose of their plastics properly so the industry and the manufacturers have a responsibility to design a product that if people littering 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. the moment you know answer is no. but in europe a few minutes about it is a try at least in part. because two ton of love you don't find it so faced with the

problem of plastic pollution early on. it's beaches and the sea so ten years ago it made some changes. with age but well there's bread there's vegetables a bit of everything if we can grow that in the summer months there's a lot of stuff from their gardens. for things like flowers grass from their lawns that sort of thing and he put whatever people happen to have a tome that's biodegradable that really give you the other. for the moment these banks are one of the few alternatives to plastic. organic waste is collected every week and banks may have stopped. the loan have to be sorted the banks break down naturally along with the food waste. subunit i've wanted to because bio degradable bags are mixed with the organic waste so they break down completely within three or

four weeks yes of course all the potato and corn starch that they're made of it reacts like any other organic matter it has on it and it was like potato peelings for example that infest. the resulting compost is used by the region's farmers 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 on that trip from canada to mexico. now you might think ok this and more and it's plastic it goes in the mouth out of the round and that's it no big deal the problem is other and it's so this past is passing particles that you stay

in your 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 tabs 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 to serve a sentence under the federal agency for the i'm going to ask your gold member to study the effects from this cluster about the chemical substance these effects are still unknown this pheno day. he was surprised but with

a heading. was a complete new phenomenon for us we had and lost thousands of listeners before and never find something comparable before and so we repeated experiment once or twice and even a third time you'll discover that ten percent of the females presented significant sexual differ mentions and their egg production was four times normal this uterus for the polanski is considerably larger than in super female compared with a normal thing and this specific specimen. in addition exhibits this great rupture i think of egypt we can imagine the power of the masses which have caused this rupture it's it's really like. an eruption of a volcano. your grassed where is this field a phone. yasser is you know plastics this antioxidant is added to

babies bottles. and packaging lit also risky. i was really shocked because it imagines a concentration switch can be found in every supposed orca and it is hard to believe i confess that at these very low environments your own concentrations such conflicts like the killing of kenyans as and your worst. the scientists are really beginning to discover the plastics in the oceans release chemical substances into the inventor chante fix that i still don't know. how much escapes once the products are in the water. how do these plumes accumulate in the food chain. on the arena animals affected. and to what extent.

do we. know that that's what the crew of the world wildlife fund i mean trying to find out by studying the mediterranean thing with the world's second largest whale. well oiled up there so we've got plenty. to do these animals are contaminated the scientists needed to study fat samples. on. your situation. the results of the bumps is unclear just like polar bears and it planted well until the fin whales fact can

change fire retardants which are additives to plastics. yes. pretty good. no one yet knows what effect these products have on the speech. and they call them. made here we are in the middle of nowhere miles from any continent and we find substances and pollutants that have no business being here thank you it if they were just hundreds of miles away and are being carried by the current market dog bothers me most is that we are contaminating the whole planet on the clothing the remotest and wildest place that's. on his own discomfort you wondered if the food wrapped in plastic that we eat every day were contaminated by certain substances. he puts more snails and bottles of

water for forty eight weeks. those near us which were kept in p.t. got us a deal was not for more and we use compared to girls in the glass bottles there are compounds in the plastic material in these p.t. boats that leach into. the snails we do not know which compounds we haven't identified them yet but they are in us from ten. called new wood all they must realize when we want to put a material or substance on the market it undergoes libertarian testing so need is enables us to show that it is harmless is not getting the results are passed on to scientific and public organizations and we will decide whether or not we're allowed

to commercialize that we will put you in the thirty's or constantly checking all of the products that we sell. this man who are affected by these chemical products. and over a couple who use plastic like everyone else have agreed to have blood tests. for. sure this one isn't a d.d. all interest for years she has been carrying out tests some fatalities in two thousand and five she started studying the effects and finds another kind of

additive for plastics. she selected with the high level of silence in their urine and still have the effect on their male children. no one had done this before. these ballots particularly the ones of most concern are called anti anderson 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 water then permanent for life and so because it's handy and or 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 masculinized under the influence of testosterone and that process is interfered with by certain sally it's when they get to a certain level. well it's so used in food packaging and toys for example to soften

the plastic. but in rodents defending ones the species. the testicles disappear and the penis becomes shorter. the distance between the testicles and the anus which is normally double in males shrinks and becomes more like men and females. shall have the idea and the courage to try taking the same missions with human babies and you got the same results. when levels of d h p the most considered the most toxic value were higher in the mother's urine then the boys were more likely to have testicles that were not completely descended into the sparrow and canada have a significantly smaller piers. so i wouldn't even as

a new toxicologist and not a specialist for human toxicology i wouldn't expect negative impacts. so you guys are using when you're a waterfall completely bogus there's absolutely no danger. i'm not so convinced when we're talking about pregnant women very young children. because in these very sensitive phases the life cycle careful taken to avoid any estrogen the chemicals. you see plastics contain the substances that can eventually migrate but only an infant has small quantities which are well below the norms. certain scientists use operating procedures that are unjustified and you can see the flaws in these arose emotions which are then regrettably picked up by the media and it creates an unfounded scare among the public at large the key food but after all this is

a democracy so everyone has the right to express themselves. is it a case of scaremongering sun exists all of this simply asking you questions. over here the results of my blood test for this for you know a chemical component plastic. by and large those two people are just like you or me it's like background noise but that background noise however means that we all have they spend all day in our bodies now as you know this is a product that didn't exist before our grandparents didn't have any chemical products created by industry and now we're all impregnated with this new epidemiological study of this type has been carried out in front of everyone tested the united states had not only between eighty but also found in the bone. in spite of the usual pollution of the effect on armaments and storage of the

contamination of. man is not yet the sundered to do with plastic on the contrary production has been increasing by ten percent a year. in india plastics use is twenty times less than in europe and the united states but with a billion inhabitants it will soon be one of the planet's three biggest consumers. how can this country stop polluting its critism posts with its plastics. how can it go on absorbing on waste plastic indispensable ally of off everyday life we thought it was an it substance over a century we have poured at least a 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 i refuse to give up you are coming here today to bring awareness to. wherever they go they keep up the struggle to change those in mentalities and finally put an end to the plastic age.

pressure. change people's attitude. maybe we should scare them because this way something says around. his neck and. back. off. her.
