plastic in the environment and. we project all these things where we see come through. the shark still shocking you know the earth. the plastic soup of the north is a really good there's this new. science has some showing that there is no untouched zone and 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 you know they're in a much. 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 not 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 a very long time in a 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 tubes in the united states.

hell's landfill servers half of los angeles county about seventy eight cities and five point two million people landfill takes and has permit at about thirty thousand two hundred tons per day our dad accounts for is if you take a football field from post to post fill it up with waste about ten feet higher than lower three meters that's how much waste is except in here a day. in the united states in europe the least half the plastic we threw away is simply buried. thousands of bottles and bags end up 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 chinari in india part of our recycle waste ends up here by the container for. hidden from european eyes already she is treated behind these doors which are usually kept closed. you see containers that then unload it 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 some material from germany some from france some from america some from the middle east it's this man absolutely who let us in the future in just number one recycling of plastic bottles. is a broker he believes the conscience of the recycling bins and resells it here where

it can be treated by cheap labor. like the. news line of business is doing well. the export of used plastic has been increasing by thirty percent a year in two thousand and seven france and seven hundred thousand metric tons of plastic and grown as you see these bales of from france you can see from the labels you may be able to identify the bottle that maybe you have used and sent away in the garbage but these have been here now and it will be recycled and made again into valuable bottles more product which could be used again. the plastic recycle bin if you choose comes from western countries point legally the recyclers hope they'll show us how we'll take care about rubbish coming just

european consumers to send the. message to the european customers utopian how homeowners are beautiful men and woman is very straight and simple who took up all your sisters is proud to be associated in keeping the environment and clean and good for the human belief i have a week i liked north bottoms because you're throwing the dustbin at it with those products that you use every day maybe if it is a t. shirt audience the pipe and art piece the bottles which are used for putting what are already doing start any juices. for.

so we try to have zero waste if possible i try to have no plastic come into our homes and then end up in the garbage can so marcus and i had 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 you have to file you 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 cars 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 own we fill up at a tap cultured water we bring these with us everywhere so you get these habits you develop them and then you don't think about them and just remember we have my bad time with the market. even organic waste doesn't go into plastic bins it gets.

so you know as the worms. going to see underneath. everything. in the bottom it looks 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 grace if you're recycling if you're conscious about the things that 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

in the ocean. that's not a sin and is a question to tell us they're already off on another adventure pedaling two thousand miles between vancouver and t. climate to convince whoever they meet on the way. for them plastic is a problem full stop and it needs to be eradicated at the some us. the benefits which are brought by the use of the piston whether you are so great for the society so great for consumers in terms of security for food in terms of likeness for transport etc they do 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 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 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 bettering but there's no way to educate every single person on the planet to add 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. for the moment you know answer is no. but in europe a few minutes a planet is the trying at least in part on a coastal town of love you don't find it so faced with the problem of plastic pollution early on. pollution of its 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. 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 he put whatever people happen to have a home 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 starch. alone have to be sorted the bank's breakdown not traded on the from waste. he said getting i have white and they don't need to biodegradable bags are mixed with the organic waste so they break down completely within three or four weeks most us up with saw the potato and corn starch that they're made of reacts like any other organic matter it plays on a loop just like potato peelings for example that if i see. the resulting compost

is used by the regions fungus so two million organic banks go back to the earth each year. and a bit more plastic has not ended up screwed around or in the sea. as we successfully sell to hawaii to get attention to the issue of plastic marine debris with water 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 your mouth i get around it and that's it no big deal the problem is other and it's all so this passed and massive particles that stayed in our stomach for a long time. the plastic these plastic particles are not benign they don't just sit there and do nothing while and marcus raises another question the industry adds

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 they serve a sentinel's one day the federal agency of lee environment asked your goldman to study the effects on this gastropod of a 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 listeners before and never found something comparable before and so we repeated experiment once twice

and even a third time york discovered that ten percent of the females presented significant sexual different missions and that their egg production was four times normal. this uterus with the two glands is considerably larger in the female compared with a normal feeling and this specific specimen. in addition exhibits this great rupture i think overbuilt you can imagine the power he says which have caused this rupture it's it's really like. an eruption of a bouquet know. your ground where is this feeling like they found. the answer is in our plastics this antioxidant is added to be. bottles and packaging but it also risky. i was really shocked because you have to mention

these are just concentrations which can be found in every supplies water and it is hard to believe i confess that these very low environment you have been concentrations such conflicts like killing of kenyans and simply post. the sounds is so really beginning to discover the plastics in the oceans released chemical substances into the environment which have effects that are still and know . how much a stretch once the products are in the water. how do these pollutants accumulate in the food chain. our marine animals affect people. and to what extent. do we. know that that's what the crew of the world one of the fun i mean trying to find out by studying the mediterranean fin with the world's

second largest way. to do these animals are contaminated the scientists needed to study fat samples. of. your humiliation. and the results of the biopsies are clear just like polar bears and atlantic whales all the fin whales fact contains fire retardants which are additives to plastics. and yes. my. thank you no one yet knows what

if it does products have on the species. and they call them. here we are in the middle of nowhere miles from any continent and we find substances and pollutants that have no business being here. they were produced hundreds of miles away and are being carried by the current market thought 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 discovery you wondered if the food wrapped in plastic that we eat every day were contaminated by certain substances. he puts the most news in bottles of water for forty eight weeks.

those nails which were kept in plain clothes produced much more embryos compared to girls in the glass bottles there are compounds in the plastic material in these p.t. bottles that lead into the culture medium as nails we do not know which compounds we haven't identified them yet but they are hideous from being. called new wood all they must realize when we want to put a material or substance on the market it undergoes authority testing which enables us to show that it is harmless is all get the results are passed on to scientific and public organizations we will decide whether or not we're allowed to commercialize it in the thirty's or constantly checking all the products that we sell political.

this man who are affected by these chemical products. and all the couple who use plastic like everyone else have agreed to have the test. shown us one is an epidemiologist for years she has been carrying out tests on fatality in two thousand and five she started studying the effects and finds another chemical additive for plastics she selected women with a high level of fights in their urine and still had the effect on their infant male children. no one had done this before. this the lights

particularly the ones of most concern are called anti and richer 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 are them permanent for life and so because it's anti 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 famine and default if you will and then becomes masculinized under the influence of testosterone and that process is interfered with by certain talents when they get to a circle of. family so used in food packaging and toys for example to soften the plastic. then rodents the feminized the species. the testicles disappear and the penis becomes shorter.
