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 cliffs and bridges highways that they didn't get it didn't have it yet it has 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 of pasta that we were hearing about and quickly realized that actually what we were looking for what the micro plastics these tiny

pieces. carry and knowing about that them bad. 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 going to be one i'm shanley and you're skipper for this late nineteenth it's going to be an awesome week and i have been living on board c. dragon for the past three and a half years now and she's a great home 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 expedition caribbean i was on the first x. expedition across the atlantic in two thousand and fourteen with emily only. i had never sailed before and mary morris unless i'm going the other way and i am from wales in the u k. i'm the part i'm from germany and the from hamburg and that's

that it marrying geology and my background is in biology and also pharmaceutical sciences i'm studying green enough streets so the 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 that's not a problem but if it is we're talking about weird appeal right so the best place to be is inside the comics so that's what we call this in the states here that you'll be sitting on it runs up and down your it's inside of the clinton not trying to hang over the side of the boat to get into the water just puke on the side 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 a. twenty times over a friend's twenty i don't think so long hikes and say twenty times up the sound like a wall so this will rise a little bit but so the writing says you know and then he's going to just still want to start. and i care. i think this might be her now so let's see you know that and to let you know in sabrina. brand i'm looking at making your bow down to be awesome. like on the how your. right home. and. her family really.

no i'm terrible at writing it much easier than i think you. know things that got ahead anyway just to a. human like you try and there's not a drive to drag me with the on the that is exciting to watch the ads there are. they the reality is that they see these islands that we've heard of they don't exist in the middle of the asia and you do get high accumulations in a we see these photos of these masses of plastic that looks but you will come to them and but they are all very costo out in the middle of the ocean we get some areas and when. we get localized areas where big

a piece accumulate but the reality is the most of the ation is covered in this fine lair of micro plastics tiny tiny little fragments and that's what we're looking for hit today in the sample everything. one two three. and 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 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 were basically now we'll walk she now to make sure that that. is going into batman's and into the troll will do this the next few minutes and then will and then we'll have a will. 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 when you haven't seen land for like eight days sailing out says that was the closest people to you were in the space station and you're still finding that human in impact. like. the. caribbean is lucky because it isn't on the team one of the giants one of the accumulation things we hate to see what is here actually happened it. sticks out which is that worried me to the client states they were curious as to what. but we seem so far should a lady's styrofoam. take away containers. must take.

the ones. home the smoking gun. we take this on on even the lines and thirty minutes if. we get something sorted all of the things that we into a set of three sets of differing. so there's the top serve or parts of that 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 organics biota that we might want to have a look at on a microscope. oh

no these things are this is plastic. that has yet to see the world really. but if you think it's just a little stretch of ocean it's a little bit of ocean and it's quite scary because we always find something. similar tiny we seem to spend at sea the old we realized that the solutions to say many of these things start on land and that's a big reason for the shift for the caribbean and sex positions now to be say a land based. trade. where the abandoned that's yes. there's no doubt what i want sunk not too long ago.

this is on the 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 marines every time that. is just it is just they don't come here to be little chilly and ninety one hundred plastic bags and we just see if you can give an estimate of what we've got here and spend you want to do i've been counting polystyrene alone 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 rochester 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. 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. . 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 the food chain it's getting to levels that are harmful to human health and marine health to. 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 pull up our show. 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 be cleanup and then in the sort of big picture along with what you might like to see in st lucia we don't have a lot of education we compete simply because we don't have money. to do but you want the old really look to do you know so we can show people the results of their

bad disposal practice is you know that kind of the so put it in the documentary to dismiss in general education oh this is very. well without first being in touch yes yes yes absolutely thank you david when i haven't met you yet so i hope you've enjoyed again yes had rights. you know world of big 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 shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now. watching closely watching the hawks.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime sample each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per circuit first shut in and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm . the only numbers you need remember one one does not show you can't afford to miss the one and only. family. and on holiday you want to call it something that it doesn't but it would

as well i said been bonded over i did what is a made man ride in my law he says twelve dollars and just been trough buys out a dollar a day but. i think we're not seeing every bishop learning and i didn't. say we had the lamp fell 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 a lot of this plastic is it ending on a package to be made seasonal comes wrapped in plastic and is really very limited options to what you can do with that a few things get separated the majority of it does get buried you can see here you know this is this is where all of the waste from the whole island and this not really any source in the separation happens either household level and for a waste to send a c. level. rustics all because of the issue though because i'm sure you've seen them all over. there even more. expensive to deal with because you need to color so many

things just because you know that's ok it's ok or so it's getting to. some of them to wow so much. well happened to all this trash you know it's not really a system to do with it. yeah it kind of makes me sad in one way. oh it's horrendous i don't even know what to say there's like bags lying about you know when. where are they going to. go looking for learning the first take the next. this is the any thinking talking and and it's spamming you say was quite

a new concept is it just getting going and macy's you name it is working with. schools to get in school construction green that way to be. safe he tells me you should send these kinds if you know our sponsor. in that way so she won't be writing it and eventually will hopefully get you a household level as well. give you any decisions you. thank you. thank. you thank. you thank. you. but what you write. is a test. just remember. normally these are just

a huge story for the kids it's the simple truth that oh privately they all quite have it i think we could make a sculpture of. i could see that i might need someone else to pick them up for me. it was. just like. you go to. the. we see a lot of plastic that's going down drains running down streams and with guys and ultimately everything. downhill to the asian house and the currents

rotating around and the plastic goes into these currents this is what we call and. it needs lots. to wolves and cities in. this edition stats here on land. do you see. plastic bags for the most a. very good question because we didn't really meet them and say to me something like that perhaps you could go in to to the supermarket and i asked them if they need to provide a way to take the carriage people to bring that and instead and this in some places around the globe things now to it and tags on the plastic backseat paint which is really reduced the number of plastic bags that anybody uses really is a rule it can be more of that. no suspects.

it's the. loss of. so we got to kill part of. me.

but. our. love for. oh i don't want to talk about this

a bad thing. because we know that means. that every experience there were five but everybody else would say one thing basically. what he's saying. i have to say you know it's not just in the least some interest saying you know i didn't. start this and i just catch. flying out on the street oh do you feel no fight still i'm all. for you.

might. not happen that you can scrape. the fountain belching. and me yet. this is like you don't get strength

here all the way which is legal in the french my last chemo is january eighth and by august i still look like lice and ellie. oh it was like. a half spiky. hurt her back. and i guess sessional sat and she'd stand out like. old everything plays. and not move that maybe it comes back the way it was the car hope so right before coming on this trip i celery this is my two year anniversary for being cancer free that 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 how that's ultimately affecting us truth be told one in honor of us will get cancer

and liquid of the hardest moment. this year you spend you take. the hardest moment. i guess. i'm going to have my problems but you are right. you do you have to keep it up but is tied to the up bags of chemo. you know sometimes ignorance is bliss and we don't know what wonder drugs are 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. to our east coast spirit. go. i was more scared of the drugs sir. i loved the chemicals that were hiding in

the family offering in our own bodies and constant attempts i mean the fact that they are saying makes us feel like a problem action to the pricing. and definitely being part of expectation and the thought that. the toxic chemicals that i feel into my body over my lifetime i would pass that on my child and. there are reasons why i would like. to become a mother and i like to be tell you. having a biological child was just not for me or not in the stars but you know i don't think that that is i can't be a mother. just in this time of the. summer that they're not on the floor.

i mean when you are. up. are. through this. can anyone get this how do. we use sixty thousand. get. out yet if you really get it this is a very very sad when we see sixty. on stage. and these facts they get used once maybe twice and the three times it ends didn't.

actually lead to the roof any reasons for. their drink yeah. that's right that's a perfect example of single use do you think you could do without a strong. do you think we're capable of looking at lifting a glass to hang ups and drinking from it have lots of other alternatives to you 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 it was an eight yeah. all right.

what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president. some want to. have to go right to be cross with a white woman for three of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the

water as in the. first sip. another russia gave bombshell fizzles this time it was buzz feed this prompted the intercept to write beyond buzz feed the ten worst most embarrassing us media failures on the trump russia story this hatred for trump destroyed the profession of journalism. and twenty four to you know bloody revolution to correct the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it just the war here i mean your list book video through in the new bill is out of school in need of the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. of those who took both sides invested over five billion dollars to assist

ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. mean i mean i did it doesn't mean you know yes. it's going to. be in your years and years it was not a. good month but really you know. the ways the ways. but i did understood you guys the wife. looked. at me and says you. know. get serious for a movie. for

a minute. that is why in chaos with president mature accusing the u.s. of finding the violent scenes also vowing it's a total overhaul of relations between the two countries also to come this hour u.s. news outlets buzz feed doubles down on the ferocity of its scoop but donald trump may.
