a lot of people say it can't be done but when proving them wrong day i'm not a feminist which is the reason that rhea having an all girl team it's really because we're wanting to understand more about female health plastic accounts for ninety percent of all trash that finds its way into the ocean in the majority of coastal and island states there is no organized sorting of waste in some areas so much plastic is dumb to watch into the water that the sea is like a toxic plastic soup initially plastic waste this picked up by the stomachs of marine inhabitants and then at the end of the food chain is delivered to our plates before i met the old female crew of sea dragon i never sailed and did know how to change the world but i did know that if you want to make a change you must start with yourself and as a beginning i decided to make this film. thing so everything in travels. that i gauge tell you all the right. british highways that date if it didn't
10:31 pm
have it everything for me it really began about eight years ago i had the opportunity to take a boat around the world we set up but the best couple of years on the sea dragon. wanted to look at these islands a prospect that we were hearing about and quickly realized that actually what we were looking for what the micro plastics these tiny pieces. and knowing it affect them back. and then opened up this whole question about toxics and that's really where expedition that came from all right let's move where do you get everyone i'm shanley i'm your skipper for this to be an awesome week i have been living on board c dragon for the past three and a half years now and she's a great home. now we're. where we're going to go we go in this film cameras already

10:33 pm
sitting on it runs up and down your inside of the clinton not trying to hang over the side of the boat to get into the water just a few can decide to actually have a hose these guys here these little glue that's here are called the eclipse so basically when the votes healed one where the other were rolling back and forth this is what's going to keep you in your bunk the right on the right. train times that already spends twenty i think so long hikes and takes one thousand times up and down the cave wall so this will rise a little bit but so the writing says you know and then he's got to still want to live. and i care and. i think this might be her now so let's see and to let you know in sabrina. brand i'm looking at making your bow down the would be awesome. on the how you're. right hope.
10:34 pm
it is because the printer. and. the. yemeni run. no i'm terrible at writing and much easier than i think that nobody. got ahead anyway just him say. he would like to try but it was not a drive to drag me through with the on the if that was exciting that's who was the bad there are. they the reality is that they say these islands that we've
10:35 pm
heard of they don't exist in the middle of the asia and you do get an high accumulations in a and we see these photos of these masses of plastic the lips but you can walk on them and but they're all very costo out in the middle of the ocean we get some areas when droops where we get localized areas where big a piece accumulate but the reality is the most of the a ship is covered in this fine layer of micro plastics tiny tiny little fragments and that's what we're looking for hit today in the sample everything. one two three. i have so we've got that hole in the woods and now we've just been adjusting the line and said to get the tool actually flying along the sickness of the asian and we don't want it to dip down and we don't want it to skip over the top they would basically. how will she now to make sure that. getting into
10:36 pm
and into the troll will do this the next few minutes and then. i think the biggest thing that has shocked me is that we've never had an empty troll no matter where we've been whether it. and the caribbean the baltic. out in the middle of the atlantic we've always. kind of scary scary when you haven't seen land for like eight days sailing out says was the closest people to you were in the space station and you're still finding that human and impact. like. the.
10:37 pm
caribbean is lucky because it isn't on the team one of the giants one of these accumulations things we hate to see what is here actually happened to. sticks out that will just worried me to the client states they were curious as to why it's not . good but we've seen so far should they leave styrofoam to take away containers. must take. the ones. home the smoking gun. we take this month on even the slightest. thirty minutes if. we get something sorted all of the things that we can into a set of different. so there's the top serve or parents go down smallish and we're going to use. to capture certain things so things that we
10:38 pm
think that look like plastic and even interesting organic biota that we might want to have a look at on a microscope. something. that . oh no these things are. this is plastic. and yet can you see the world. but if you think it's just a little stretch of ocean it's a little bit of motion that's quite scary because we always find something. the more time we seem to spend to see the world we realize that the solutions to say many of these things start on land and that's a big reason for the shift for the caribbean it's expeditions now to be say
10:39 pm
a land based. where is the engine that yes. there's no doubt what i want sunk not too long ago. this is an area just over this next door it's a little fishing community we're just going to try and do an estimate here the plastic bottles the palestine and everything that we're seeing and see that we can record that in the range every time that. this just looks disgusting but they don't come here to get one chilean bank unity and plastic bags and to see if you can give an estimate of what we've got here and spend you want to do i've been counting polly. styrene alone so basically these
10:40 pm
containers here that you can see that are for takeaway food so people obviously come in they just throw them into the water disposal i mean rochester oh there's another one i had counted four hundred thirty eight pieces of styrofoam alone like we can recognize these things now spray bottles these dishes the styrofoam we recognize the stuff but once it gets out in the ocean what you'll find is that plastic breaks down really quickly because of the movement of the waves and the sunlight the u.v. breaks down smaller and smaller and smaller into little plastic fragments so it may not be harmful for that little fish that eats one fragment of plastic but once it makes its way up to food chain it's getting to levels that are harmful to human health and marine health too. so this is the kind of thing that you. i don't want to see just as much as you don't want to see a little. something
10:41 pm
for it but we don't have the equipment so we have to think of some way of getting all the you know and the main. clean out and then. we do it. simply because we don't. really like to do. documentaries and we dismiss. this as we're. being. absolutely thank you david. yes. yes all right. there's not any left decisively in the earth's mantle i predict as i've said before
10:42 pm
that was the central banks find it difficult to buy any gold whatsoever they're going to start buying manik that point to their strategic reserves russia has been rumored as a possibly the first to go down this passage we don't know the details but one of the major central banks will start putting. gold into their strategic reserves and this will set off a mad scramble for bar gold and it. looks like there's someone else living inside of me or controlling my body. the by product of that drug the root cause like severe depression.
10:43 pm
because it literally needed him into a zombie is crazy. you know we don't have to do anything it's not our fault you know she was crazy and all that. took years of traumatic takes a long time to get rid of. donald and me on all the products but also in bed with us well i said been bonded over i did what is our main man riding my lawn he says truck driver and just been trough buys out and already. i think we don't. need every bishop learning on our union. so we had the lamp and insulation today we need to try to get an understanding of the big challenges around waste management on the small islands way you have order the spotting is you attending on him packets to be made sees
10:44 pm
that it comes wrapped in plastic and is really very limited options to what you can do with that few things get separated the majority of it does get buried you can see here you know this is just one of the waste from the whole island and. it's not really any source you know separation happens either a household level temple or a place to send. rustics i hope to be sure though because i'm sure you've seen them all over. there even more expensive to deal with because you need to collect so many thoughts that you know that's ok it's ok or so if it's getting shipped to. some of them to plow so much. in the well it happened to all the trash you know it's not really a system it's. yeah kind of makes me sad it one way.
10:45 pm
but it's horrendous i don't even know what to say there's like bags lying about. where they can. go looking for learning interesting extra. businesses be anything content and it's spamming you say it's quite a new concept is it just getting going and macy's you name it is working with. schools to get school instruction that way to be. safe he tells me she said they sometimes if you got response. from that waste she want to do the right thing and eventually will hopefully get into the household level as well. you know i didn't see the show. thank you.
10:46 pm
thank you. but it was right. this. is a terri. normally does and i just read the story please so this will turn people. oh crikey they all quite have. i think you could we could make a sculpture. i could see that i might need someone else to pick them up for me.
10:47 pm
it was. just like. you go to keep up the. we see a lot of plastic that's going down drains running and i was three legs and with eyes and ultimately everything brands downhill to the ocean he has to be parents rotating around and the plastic goes into these currents is what we call and. that means it's the wolves cities in. a decision stats here on land. to go. see. a plastic box for close to a. very good question because we didn't really need them and sale is
10:48 pm
something like that perhaps you could go and tool to the supermarket and i asked them if they need to provide a way to take carriage people to bring that and instead and this in some places around the globe they have now to put and tags on the plastic backseat pavement which is really reduce the number of plastic bags that anybody uses really a rule it can be more of that or. not especially. if the lose. those. washed up. so we got to kill.
10:49 pm
sleep.
10:50 pm
and sleep like. oh i don't want to talk about this a bad. you call me but you know the crew that are very experienced they were fine but everybody else split the thing basically. what is more each time i have to scoop. well it's not just completely shut i'm just saying i have no idea that. the stuff guy's face and not the statue.
10:51 pm

10:53 pm
that maybe it comes back the way it rescued our hope so right before coming on this trip i celery this is my two year anniversary for being cancer free that's part of this trip for me is also raising awareness about these chemicals that are in our environment they're in our oceans they're in our seafood they're even in our ground water supply and thinking about what are we putting into our bodies and trial that's ultimately affecting us truth be told one in promise will get cancer. of the hardest moment in. years when you take. the hardest moment. i guess. i'm going to have five but you will try.
10:54 pm
to do when you're up to. but is tied to the opex acute. you know sometimes ignorance is bliss and we don't know what wonder drugs going to do to you. then you kind of don't worry but as a scientist and having studied a lot of stuff i knew. what they were pumping into my body and what was about to happen. that are is who is here. so i was more scared of the drugs than to keep certain. i love the chemicals that we're finding in the action and we all flying in our own bodies and kasich i mean the fact that they are increasing me has failed like me that probably happening to the pricing range that people say and definitely being part of expectation. the toxic i feel it in my body my life. i would.
