4:30 pm
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 travel. tell you all the right cliff and bridges highways that date if it didn't have it yet 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.
4:31 pm
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. that you. carry and knowing it affect 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 to get everyone i'm stanley i'm your skipper it. can 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 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 exhibition caribbean. i was on the first x.
4:32 pm
expedition across the atlantic in two thousand and fourteen with emily and. i had never sailed before i married more so unless i'm going my way i'm from wales in the u.k. and i'm the poet i'm from germany and the from hamburg and that's that it mary in 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 ok that's not a problem but if it hits we are talking about weird appeal right the best place to 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 puke on the side we have
4:33 pm
a hose these guys here these little blue bits 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 things on the right seem to get a. twenty times over a friend's twenty. six zero zero it's a twenty times up the. 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 so let's see and to have that you know and sabrina. grant an immediate danger bow down and be awesome. like on the how you're just right whoa. oh oh.
4:34 pm
it is because the british. and. yemeni run. no i'm terrible at writing it much easier than i think that nobody. got ahead anyway just say. you know. he would like to try and there's not a draft of he would go down on the it's not as exciting as it was the zero you. say the reality is that they say there's islands that we've head off 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 that you can walk on
4:35 pm
them and but they're all very costo out in the middle of the ocean we get some areas and when troops 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 lair of micro plastics tiny tiny little fragments and that's what we're looking for hit today in the sound everything. one two three. i have it we've got the 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 action 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 all of the ocean is getting into bad hands and into the troll will do this the next few minutes and then will and will have a one. i think the biggest thing that has shocked me is that we've never had an
4:36 pm
empty trial no matter where we've been whether it. in the caribbean the baltic. out in the middle of the atlantic we've always had. kind of 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 something. like. the caribbean is lucky because it isn't on the team one of the giants one of the key missions things we hate to see what is actually happening and. sticks out
4:37 pm
which is that worries me is the obstacle like states say we're curious as to what. but we seem so far should they leave styrofoam to take away containers. plus to. the world's. oldest smoking gun. we take this on on even the signs and thirty minutes yet if. we get something sorted all of the things that we into a set of three sets of differing mike so there's the top serve or parts of that as we go down smaller 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 down the microscope. some. of
4:38 pm
that. oh no these things are this is plastic. yet can you see it's so obvious. but if you think it's just a little stretch of ocean it's a little bit of ocean that's quite scary because we always find something. similar tiny we seem to spend to see the world we realized 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
4:39 pm
abandon that 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 say that we can record that in the rain every time. it's just that it's just that they don't come here to. chile and maggie wanted to cast it back 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 as disposal i mean rochester there's no one. i
4:40 pm
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. 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 how 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. 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 be cleanup and then in the sort of bigger picture along which you might like
4:41 pm
to see instantly we don't have a lot of education we compete 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 thing so put it in a new documentary to dismiss him general education. and it's very. well with the first being and yes yes yes absolutely thank you david and then i haven't met you yet so i will do very well again yes it would be alright. welcome to max kaiser's financial survival guide. looking forward to a year that's without. yanks this is what happens to pensions in
4:42 pm
britain delicacy you watch kaiser report. i mean i mean i didn't know where you know your son. was he it's one of. those whom you know most of the bus will be in yes and you know it was notable just made a little money but you know. we have some ways the ways but the way i did my best village was the wide. left anything you see you. know one of those little. things will get. in there you know. 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 stamping
4:43 pm
each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you loans to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to 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 numbers you need to remember is one one does not show you can afford to miss the one and only. on the dot. com site and it doesn't matter what a. well i said but men want to know what did what is what made my mind i did my body since probably. just been trying. i think. everybody should learning. say we had the lamp
4:44 pm
insulation today we need to try to get an understanding of the big challenges around waste management on these small islands where you have all of this plastic and thing on the street 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 you know this is this is where all of the waste from the whole island. is not really any sort of separation happens either household level or at least the city level. because i'm sure you. there even more expensive to deal with because you need to. you know. it's getting to. some of them through. so much.
4:45 pm
you know it's not really a system to do it. makes me sad in one way. oh it's horrendous i don't even know what to say there's like lying about. where are they going to go. to look at returning to take the next. day this is the end. and you. say it's quite a new concept. just getting going and they say the game is working great. schools to getting school construction right way to be. safe he tells me she said they
4:46 pm
sometimes if we keep our sponsor. going that way so she wants to do the right thing and eventually we'll hopefully get into the household level as well. let me give you an illustration. thank. you. but what. is it scary can. you remember. these and it's really a huge turning point it's. this book thirty four. 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.
4:47 pm
just like. the. we see a lot of plastic that's going down drains running down streams and with guys and ultimately everything else downhill to be a shame you can't be parents really teaching around. and the plastic gaze into these currents is what we call and shy at. these spots the wolves cities in the uk that create this edition stats here on land.
4:48 pm
can still say. class about school the closest thing. to a very good question because we didn't really meet them and say listen let's not perhaps you could get a link to to the supermarket and i asked them if they need to provide a way to take a carriage people to bring that and instead and this in some places around the globe they have 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 rule is given all the. enough respect up. the loose. shirts to. wash up. so we got to kill.
4:49 pm
the other. i've.
4:50 pm
been. like. oh i don't want to talk about this very bad. because only you know the main group that are very experienced they were fine but everybody else. was being basically.
4:51 pm
ways to break my head to see which way it's not just completely so i'm just saying that i had no idea that. stuff like this and not just catch. my eye on the say oh do you feel know why i stopped i'm older. now. you. might assume. the happened and you can there are those
4:52 pm
crazy. around the fountain balcony. with. you. and the yes and it. is just like all in all good strength here all the way in which is feeling the french for my last chemo is january eighth and by august i still look like lice and ellie just oh it was like you know me i
4:53 pm
get insured and a half spiky. heard her laugh. and i guess national sad and she went out like create my head in life hold everything in place 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 that 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 the truth be told one in time must. get cancer. of the hardest moment. here spend your time on the hardest moment.
4:54 pm
i guess. i'm going to have five but you won't but. if. you do you're not going to keep it up but is tied to the affects of chemo. 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 what was about to happen . the cowards who is here. i was more scared of the drugs keep searching. i love the chemicals that we're finding in the air and we all flying in our own bodies and constant attempts i mean the fact that they are increasing makes us feel like they probably have
4:55 pm
a fiction to the rising rates of cancer and definitely being part of expectation and the thought that. the toxic chemicals that i've put 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 think that that is i can't be a mother. just in this time of the lying. am i not on the floor but. i might. up was. a.
4:56 pm
are. can anyone guess how only. sixty thousand stick get. wow yeah you know you're really good at this very sad and we say sixty pounds stay back and these guys they get used once maybe twice and probably three times at once and didn't. wait for 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
4:57 pm
a glass eye lopes and drinking from a. lot of other alternatives to like glass containers throughout the result home and these are all things that you guys can take back 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 could do that yeah i hear was out to get it. all right. here. i am bad.
4:58 pm
bad. bad. us veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. were going after the people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the wellbeing of their own soldiers either there already several generations of them so i just got this memo from the circulated branch offices we're going to attack and destroy the government and seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with their money others with their lives if we were willing to go into harm's way and
4:59 pm
willing to risk being killed for a war then surely we can risk some discomfort or uneasiness for peace. seem wrong but all in all just don't call. me. yet to stamp out just the attic. and engagement. trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. me and sleep sleep sleep sleep.
5:00 pm
led police . power to act. i don't think. it's formally soon the teachings of the national executive committee as president of venezuela i want to learn in his way that the president is elected by washington to find his way lurches towards chaos with the president using the u.s. of attempting to orchestrate the truth as washington throws its full weight behind the country's self declared interim leader. break free.
