really whacks expedition that came from all right let's move very very well and i'm shanley i'm your skipper for this late 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 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 x. expedition 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 mary geology and my background is in biology and also pharmaceutical sciences i'm studying green enough for history for 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 i believe that's not a problem but if it is we are talking about weird appeal right so the best place to be is inside the calming us so that's what we call this the space here that you'll be sitting on it runs up and down your inside of that clinton not trying to hang over the side of the boat to get into the water just puke on the side that 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. plenty of times over a friend's twenty i think so long hikes and say twenty times up the. wall so this will rise a little bit but so the right. says you know and then you try to get you to still

want to go out and they're ok. all right i think this might be her now plenty enough and to have that you know in sabrina. her brand and of media that anger bowed down don't be awesome. like on the how you're. right hope. it is because the president was. right. and she. can't be wrong. no i'm terrible and letting him come much easier than i think that nobody.

got hurt and i just can't say. you know what he would like to try and there's not a dr tragedy who would go down the if that is exactly right to nurse the bad zero you. say the reality is that they say these islands that we've 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 that looks that 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 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 here today in the sample everything that was. you three.

have been in the woods and now we've just been adjusting. to get that will actually flying along the sickness and we don't want it to dip down and we don't want it at the top they will basically now will she now to make sure that that. is 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 car be in 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 or us the closest people to you are in the space station and you're still finding that human and impact. like. the.

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 happened to a. classic sound that will just worried me to the client states they were curious as to why it's not. good but what we've seen so far should they leave a styrofoam. takeaway containers. plus to. the ones. holding the smoking gun. this month on even the sly. thirty minutes yet if. we get something time

and sort of a small rinsing all of the things that we captured into a set of three sets of differing mike so there's the top serve which will catch the bigger presents and 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. something. that. oh no these things are this is plastic. yeah can you see it so well. 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 to the caribbean and sex positions now to be say a land based. trade. where the abandoned yes. there's no doubt what i want sunk. 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 in the rain every time. it's

just that it's just that they don't come here to everybody. wanted to pass the banks and to see if you can give an estimate of what we've got here and spend if 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 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 off of 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. . 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 pull up our show. maybe a guy been sued or something for it but we don't have the bottom and so you know 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 which you might like to see instantly we don't have a lot of additional grumpy simply because we don't have money that you 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 thing so put it in a new documentary you dismiss him general education all this is really. well without first being a yes. yes he spoke out absolutely thank you david and when i. met you yes i hope

you've enjoyed again after all right. joining me every thursday on the elec simon short and i'll be speaking to guest in the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. seemed wrong. but all wrong just don't call. me old yet to shape out these days to come out ahead and gain from it because the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart when you choose to look for common ground .

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 hawks. reflect there's someone else living inside of me or controlling my body. the byproduct of that drug is the cause like severe depression. because it literally need him into

a zombie it's crazy. you know we don't have to do anything it's not our fault you know since crazy and all that for. six years traumatic things long time to get rid of. me on top of the rocks and it doesn't that would as well i said didn't want to do what i did like as i made my mind did my body six twelve dollars and just didn't try by south made it all right. i think we don't. need every bishop learning on our. say we hand them out and information today we need to try to get an understanding of the big challenges around ways. management on these small

islands where you have all of this by saying if you had anything on the street maybe sees the world 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 this is where all of the waste from the whole island and so it's not really any sort of separation happens either household level or at least the city level. rustics. issue because i'm sure you've seen them all over. there even more expensive to deal with because you need to. master you know or so it's getting shipped to. some of them to. so much. well happen to you know it's not really a system to do with it. kind of makes me sad in one way.

oh it it's horrendous i don't even know what to say there's like bags flying about . where are they going to go. to look at returning interest like the extra. businesses the any thinking ten times and it's fairly new to say it's quite a new concept is it just getting going and the name is working with the schools to get in school construction it wasting time and simply say he's telling me you should send these kinds if you're not responsible. for that waste and she want to do the right thing that and eventually will hopefully get into the household level

as well. let me give you a decision. thanks. thanks. thanks. thanks. i. but what. is it scary can. you remember. normally 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 this i could see that i might need someone else to pick them up for me.

just. to go to. the. city. we see a lot of plastic that's going down the drain it's raining down streams and we're guys and ultimately everything goes downhill to be asian. parents routine around and the plastic goes into these parents this is what we call and she i had. these thoughts. towards cities in. this edition stats here on land what will. you see. plastic bags. well the close to. him very good question

because he didn't really meet them and sail recently laid back perhaps you could go in to the supermarket and and i asked them if they need to provide a way to take a carriage people to bring that and instead and this is in some places around the world bank now ted and tags on the plastic backseat paid for eggs which is really reduced the number of plastic bags that anybody uses really the role it can be more of a. no suspects without. the a. clothes shirt to. wash up. so we got the ok to.

behave. the way. to hit. the in the to have.

i've. been. i don't want to talk about this they. can only know that me through that are very experienced they were fine but everybody else. was being basically. ways breaking my head to see which way it's not just in the least so i just say you know i didn't.

start this i'm not the sketch. flying up on the state road do you feel no no i. still i'm ok. now. i. understand there are crazy. fancy.

that. and the very idea. is just like it only gets from here all the way in which is sealed in the french fridge my last chemo is january eighth and by august i still look like lice and ellie. oh you know it's like you know me i get insurance and a half spiky. heard her laugh.

and i guess national sad she went out like create my head in life hold everything in place and put my head back on that hill and not move that maybe it comes back the way it rested part 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 and also raising 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 climate most will get cancer a liquid they harvest moment and. they say here you spend you take. the hardest moment. i guess. soon i'm going to have my problems but you will fight.

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 a lot of stuff i knew. what they were pumping into my body what was about the how. the rest of the it's. so i was more scared of the drugs keep sir. i love the chemicals the finding in the family offering 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 feeling into my body

over my lifetime i would pop out on my shoulder and the only reason why i would like. 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 think if that is i can't be a mother. just on this side of the lines. somewhere that they're not on the floor. i mean when you are. either one of them. yeah.

yeah. but then. can anyone guess how in the world g.g. think sixty thousand stick back and get. wow yeah you know you're really good at this it's very very sad and we'd be say sixty pounds and i'm stating facts and these facts they get used once maybe twice and probably three times that that's and you didn't. exactly house them move any reason strop you go out 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 to how ups and drinking from it. lots of other alternatives to you like glass containers throughout 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 good and. bad.

when the whole may just manufacture consensus instead of public wealth. when the running clusters and protect themselves. when the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent of. the time we can all middle of the room signals. going around the. world. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us as over one trillion dollars in

debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each dish. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be all for rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second and bitcoin roasted twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only boom bust. in 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 go ahead i mean your list put video and put him in the neighborly is

that idea spilling into the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. of those who took the kite invested over five billion dollars to. assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. me let me let you go where you know you're. going to. those whom you're most of the best to be in yours and yours was never really none but you know. the ways of the idea but those diligent eyes of the whites. look. at me you see. this was no.
