1:30 am
oh man you guys you can refute others here having all the ladies on board is pretty awesome. 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 they were having an all girl team or 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 an 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.
1:31 am
that i gauge tell you all the right of you. and british airways that they paid if it didn't. have it it kind of thing. for me it really began and that 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 of pasta that we were hearing about and quickly realized that actually what we were looking at the micro plastics these tiny pieces . and knowing it out that combat. and that then opened up this whole question about toxics and that's really where x. expedition that came from all right let's move would be to get everyone i'm channeling i'm your skipper for this late nineteenth it's going to be an awesome week and i have been living on board see dragon for. the past three and
1:32 am
a half years and she's a great home so yeah we're. where we're going to get to go in this film cameras already here. hi guys i'm john mission coordinator for this leg of exhibition caribbean i was on the first x. expedition across the atlantic in two thousand and fourteen with emily. i had never sailed before and mary morris unless i'm going my way i'm from wales in the u.k. and i'm the poet i'm from germany a little hamburg and that's that it marrying geology and my background is in biology and also pharmaceutical sciences i'm studying green enough for st lucie i'm an all chased a marine scientist and then i'm also about promoting women in science i've been really a strong supporter about women in stem careers. then the last thing is i'm a breast cancer survivor you guys don't get seasick i believe that's not a problem but if it is we're talking about where to people right the best place to
1:33 am
be is inside the comics so that's what we call this mistake here that you'll be 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 you can decide death we have a hose these guys here these little glue that's here are called the eclipse so basically when the boats heeled want to wear the other we're kind of rolling back and forth this is what's going to keep you in your book the right on the right thing to get up. to twenty times already spends twenty i think so long hikes and say twenty times up and down like a wall so this will rise a little bit but so the writing says you know and then he's got to still want to look at. her and i think this might be her now let's see and he was that you know and super. brand on immediate danger bow down don't
1:34 am
1:35 am
a dr of he would go to 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 heard of they don't exist in the middle of the asian need do you get an high accumulations in a we see these photos of these masses of plastic that looks like you can walk on them and but they're all very costo out in the middle of the ocean we get some areas and when droops where we get localized areas where they get peace 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 lines and to to get the tool actually flying along the six. and we don't want it to
1:36 am
dip down and we don't want it at the top they will basically now will she now to make sure that. getting into bad hands 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. in the middle of the atlantic we've always. kind of scary when you haven't seen land for like eight days sailing out sears was the closest people to you were in the space station and you're still finding that human and. like. the.
1:37 am
caribbean is lucky because it isn't on the team one of the giants one of the key when they should say we're here today to see what is here actually have a. classic sound which is that worries me the client must say we're curious as to what is. good but what we've seen so far should a lady's styrofoam. take away containers. us to. the ones. holding the smoking gun. we take this on on even the lines thirty minutes at the beginning and we've got something sorted all of the things that we're. into a set of three sets of differing. so there's. top serve which will catch the bigger
1:38 am
presence of mind as we go down smallish and we're going to use. these. to capture certain things so things that we 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. yet can you see it so well. that 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 see the more we realize that the solutions to say many of these things start on land and that's
1:39 am
a big reason for the shift for the caribbean and sex positions now to be say a land based. where the abandon that yes. there's no doubt what i want sunk not too long ago. this is on the just over this next door it's a little fishing the community we're just going to try and do an estimate here the plastic bottles the palestine and everything that we're seeing and say that we can record in the rain every time. it's just looks disgusting but they don't come here to get little chilly and maggie wanted to pass it back and to see if you can give an estimate of what we've got here. spaniards you want to. i've been counting polystyrene alone
1:40 am
so basically these containers here that you can see that are for takeaway food so people obviously come in they just throw them into the water as disposal i mean. there's another one i had counted four hundred thirty eight pieces of styrofoam alone like we can recognize these things now spray a lot of these dishes the styrofoam we recognize the stuff but once it gets out in the ocean what you find is that plastic breaks down really quickly because of the movement of the waves and the sunlight the u.v. it 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 the 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. don't want to see just as much as you don't want to see little pieces of fragment when we
1:41 am
pull up our show. maybe a guy been sued or something for it but we don't have the equipment so somehow we have to think of some way of getting all this out you know and the main focus and would first be cleanup and then in the sort of bigger picture along with what you might like to see instantly we don't have a lot of additional company simply because we don't have the money that you've got to want the old really look to do you know we can show people the results of their bad disposal practices you know that kind of the so put it in the documentary we dismiss him john wrote education all the letters were. well without first being and yet you still absolutely thank you david when i haven't met you yet so i will do very well again yes all right.
1:42 am
chose seemed wrong but old old just told. me to get to shape out just because the educated and engaged with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground the. you know world of big partisan movies lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the
1:43 am
hawks. reflect there's someone else living inside of me like controlling my body. the byproduct of that drug is the cause like severe depression. because it literally made him into a zombie it's crazy. you know we don't have to do anything it's not our fault you know shoes crazy and all that for. six years traumatic takes a long time to get rid of. six guys or financial survival guide. when customers go by you reduce the price. in
1:44 am
health well reduce and lower. that's undercutting not what's good for market it's not good for the global economy. knox and it doesn't matter with us well i said bittman wanted a really good lawyers are made my mind a mile long he says profitable and just been tried by south made already. i think with. every mission learning on mars. say we had the lamp insulation today we need to try to get an understanding of the big challenges around waste management on these small islands the way you have ordered this by saying if you have anything on the street maybe sees that 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. this is this is where all of the waste from the whole island. is not really any sort of separation
1:45 am
happens either a household level or a waste facility level. rustics. you should go because i'm sure you've seen them all over. there even more expensive to deal with because you need to. you know or you're so it's getting shipped to. some of them to wow so much. you know it's not really a system to do with it. kind of makes me sad in one way. oh it's tremendous i don't even know what. those like bags lying about. where they go to.
1:46 am
look at returning interest like the extra. business is the any. kind and it's fairly new to say it's quite a new concept is that just getting going and you name it it's working we have schools to get in school construction that way speak. and say if you tell me you should send these kinds if you respond. for that waste she want to do the right thing with it and eventually will hopefully get to a household level as well. let me give you an illustration. thanks. thank. you.
1:47 am
i. think. that what you write. is a scary can. you remember. these are just really a huge turning point it's. this is the turning point that oh crikey they all quite have. i think you could we could make a sculpture of. i could see that i might need someone else to pick them up for me. just. to go to. the. we see
1:48 am
a lot of plastic that's going down drains running down streams and with guys and ultimately everything else downhill to be asian. parents retain their rounds and the plastic into these tyrants says what we call and i had. these thoughts. the wolves and cities in. this edition stats. here on the land. still to come i can still see the high class about school the cost of a. very good question because we didn't really meet them and say listen let's not perhaps you could go into to the supermarket and and i asked them if they need to provide a way to take a carriage vehicle to bring that and instead and this in some places around the
1:49 am
1:51 am
again. i don't want to talk about these they've. become we know that me through that are very experienced they were fine but everybody else. was being basically. waves breaking on my head to see which way it's not just really is so interesting that you know i do. stuff like this and not just catch. my eye on the say oh do you feel know why i stopped i'm ok.
1:53 am
and the area near the end. is just like it only gets from here on all the way in which is legal in the french for my last chemo is january eighth and by august i still look like lice and ellie. oh it was like you know me i get insurance and a half spiky. became. her her dad. and i guess national sad she went out like create my head in life hold everything plays and put me back on the hill and not move that maybe come stay the way rest in far hope so right before coming on this trip by celery this is my two year anniversary for being cancer free that's part of this trip for me and also raising
1:54 am
awareness about these chemical 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 how that's ultimately affecting us truth be told one in honor of us will get cancer hey let's put the baby hardest moment in. this year you spend you take. the hardest moment. just so i get. see now i'm going to have five but you are right. you do not. but is tied to the affects of chemo. 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
1:55 am
a lot of stuff i knew. what they were pumping into my body what was about the how. the rest who is here. so i was more scared of the drugs keep sir. i love the chemicals the finding in the end and we all finding in our own bodies and constant attempts i mean the fact that they are increasing makes us feel like they probably affliction to the rising rates of cancer and definitely being part of expectation and the thought that. the toxic chemicals of my healing into my body over my lifetime i would pop out on my children. the only reason why i would like. to go in to become a mother and i can tell you that. having a biological child was just not for me or not in the stars but you know i don't
1:56 am
1:57 am
and we say sixty. and these guys they get once maybe twice and probably three times at once and we didn't. exactly. say reasons for up. with a straw in their drink yeah. that's right that's a perfect example of single use do you think you could do without a straw. do you think we're capable of looking at lifting a glass around ups and drinking from it. lots of other alternatives to like glass containers for your life the result home and these are all things that you guys can take back to your parents now because you can tell them let's stop using plastic or at least reduce our use of plastic do you think you guys could do that yeah i hear resoundingly yeah. all right.
