I would argue that pontificating is not the same as actual caring

@Kevin Kushova Yeah, I'm sure littering is a problem the world over. But at least here in Mexico, I would dare to guess that it's about 40% of the population that does it. It's extremely common in some areas. And even in my neighborhood, we spend every other saturday cleaning trash in the road. We always completely remove every piece of trash, and a week later, there is a lot more of it.

Habivi come to india, pakistan, bangladesh, afghan you will love your country more.

Don't feel too bad. I live in Hawaii and it's the filthiest place I've ever been including Mexico. Throwing trash on the roadside or burying it in your back yard is extremely common here. I've never seen anything like it

@@hritesh7 facts

The biggest thing to get people to care about the environment is to alleviate their stressors; it's hard to care about the ocean when you're homeless/starving/unable to afford food/medicine for your family. Mexico is not alone in this - America's lower class is also suffering enough that many people don't have time time/stamina to care about anything other than trying to survive. It's all a vicious cycle that leads back to the same solution: corporate greed. It demands increasing profit every quarter at the expense of workers/environment, and lobbying government officials and dictating monopolies and perpetuating dependence on fossil fuels and misinformation propoganda campaigns. If we take care of our people, worldwide, rich and poor, more would change for the better very quickly - but that's bad for business 😕

The fact that humans are still polluting beaches and creating the mess in the first place is proof that there is no hope. If it is only by the goodwill of volunteers that can afford to not be working so that a species like sea turtles can survive; the species is doomed.

The issue is affordability by forcing people to stop using plastic which is generally the cheapest option you force them to use more expensive materials and smaller businesses cannot afford those expensive materials. That means that only the big companies can offer his big companies can afford to continue doing business. Increasing monopolization by destroying competition via taxes and regulation. And we can all agree monopoly's screw the economy.

Will you pay more money for eco friendly containers?

@Raja Shashank Gutta we already are paying more for eco friendly containers. Reusable plastic bags, biodegradable bags. Coca Cola switched from glass bottles to plastic due to cheaper and more durable storage but causes heavy pollution. 80% of the plastic going into the oceans comes from rivers and the coast and coast

@@rajashashankgutta4334 It's a catch-22 we are in - you either give up wealth for the world, or vice versa. You can't have both. Sad to see.

@@rajashashankgutta4334 Seems like there's no credibility given to thinking the use of containers has to just lower in general, then. At least, until manufacturing can catch up and lower prices on alternatives. Poorer people can't afford to care until then, certainly not in the necessary quantity. So, without the ability to pay more, the only option is to buy less.

@@rajashashankgutta4334 I would. But I'd first question why a company can't afford an alternative packaging material but *can* afford to pay CEOs obscene amounts while still making globally record breaking profits. This isn't a situation where companies are too financially strapped to achieve the goal. It's a situation where companies are cutting corners that cause public damage in order to make a *greater* profit. They'd still make a fortune using a different material.

Yes, mark rober (one of the organizers) said that providing proper disposal methods would be a priority, though you’d have to check his video to see how much money was put to it.

It’s a recent development

Bingo. It's going to take some regulations against plastic. You can imagine how American companies feel about that.

Cleaning up doesn't make money. Under capitalism, if it doesn't make money then the corporations won't do it. Any ethical stuff they do is only if they think it'll make them more money than not doing it. You can't expect corporations to fix the problem unless it'll affect their profits if they don't. That comes from consumer and political pressure. I saw a great start (I think it was the US state of Maine?) That started charging companies based on the costs of dealing with their packaging (basically like instead of citizens paying the government for recycling costs, the companies making the waste pay for it) Suddenly, companies are reducing packaging or using biodegradable options, because the extra tax costs more than making those changes.

@@Komainu959 Agreed. It was a bad decision adding swearing into the video. It doesn't suit the writing and presentation style at all. Not to mention kids are watching this.

If you need to be sworn at to have information sink in then maybe you're not the right person to act on that information.

Sucks it was bleeped.

There is no biodegradable or recyclable plastic. It's a lie to make consumers feel good. The "biodegradable" plastic produces micro-plastic that accumulates in animals, and causes long term health issues in humans. We should replace plastic where possible with actual biodegradable materials, like wood, paper or burlap, or with recyclable glass. Where plastic can't be avoided we need to be honest with ourselves and deal with it in the least bad option - incinerator. The only way to remove plastic pollution is to bury it or burn it. Burning sounds bad because it produces CO2 but it's no different to thousands of coal plants we still use.

I’m theory lol most is not recyclable and would require more energy to even try.

Plastic recycling was always a lie and they knew it. They just wanted to sell us more plastic. Still do. :(

It is designed the way that local fauna can simply swim around it and through an dunder the barriers. It won't get trapped the same way it doesn't get trapped by a sandy beach.

they swim under the barriers. the barriers are only for the plastics, which usually floats I think.

The sort of comment which must not be phased down... Jeesh already.

no, we need an old technology: It's called not wasting and not littering. There's no reason to wash all our waste into the ocean. You can reduce, reuse, recycle and ultimately burn waste and produce heat and electricity.

@@uschurch haha ya im with ya. We use to use gkass and clay pots for a very long time with little problems.

@@uschurch reduce, reuse, recycle. in that order. recycling is not what it's made out to be.

I've visited Singapore before, and there's a water fountain everywhere! No trash anywhere either! makes me long for my home country Malaysia to follow in Singapore's footsteps

Many of the plastics we use now replaced more sustainable existing options. Beverage bottles for example used to be reusable glass with a reasonable payment for returning the bottle which greatly reduced waste.

​@@garethbaus5471 Indeed, such as the milk bottles of yore. Today, about the only beverages still routinely sold in glass bottles are alcohol. Returning to glass throughout the beverage industry would certainly reduce a sizeable amount of single-use plastic, albeit at some logistical cost which might be reflected in pricing. Glass being heavier and more fragile would surely increase transport costs for instance. Even if it's too logistically cumbersome to return to a full reuse program, as with milk bottles, glass is readily recycled, and even when it isn't, it has a lower environmental impact than plastic. Plastic wrappers, bags, and packaging that house virtually all food, snack, and personal care items are a somewhat different matter. What to use for potato chips, candy bars, shampoo, and toothpaste? Most biodegradable materials such as paper and cardboard have an airtightness, water resistance, and durability problem that would impair shelf lives.

Nets tend to catch a lot of plankton if you use it to catch plastic, as most plastic tend to break down to micro plastic if you leave it in the water too long. killing plankton which is the bottom of the food chain affects the rest of the food chain.

This'd rely on the wind going in the right direction consistently, which it just doesn't.

@@juniperrodley9843 Hi. Nope. A steady breeze quickly leads to accumulated flotsam, which of course would need to be removed before wind changes. Submerged netting could be used to scoop out the floating stuff..

@@onewayraildex4827 Not so much if one of just scooping the surface?.. like removing scum. Just saying.

A lot of the plastic dumped by third world countries is plastic that was sent there by developed countries for "recycling". Out of sight, out of mind.

Only 25% ? That can’t be right

Poorer countries produce a lot of plastic waste. Because people can’t afford whole bottles of shampoo or packets of detergent, they buy small, single use plastic bags whenever they have a little money to spare. All these tiny plastic bags really add up.

Is there anything temporary which could be installed maybe floating in the water, to which titles would be attracted? Just asking. Old UK duffer here.

​@@tim40gabby25 Yeah, that crossed my mind too, not as draconian as what I ended up proposing. But you'd need a massive light source pretty far out to sea. Otherwise you wouldn't outshine the towns and cities next to the beaches or you might attract hatchlings from neighboring beaches inland as they would see the light coming from aside rather than from the sea if you were to place it close to any individual beach.

@@davidschaftenaar6530 indeed - so 'hood' those sea docked lights as well.. sounds expensive :(

Aluminum and most other metals can introduce metal poisoning to people. Cans and other food containers made of aluminum get a special coating on them that prevents too much of the metal from leeching out into the food/drink. What do you think would be the end result when we force a mass change over to aluminum and the poorer nations with crap controls decides to cut corners and omit this coating? Do you think some poor, local cannery in South East Asia isn't going to try to cut corners? There's a reason why even the FDA sometimes frowns upon or outright bans international brand products from some other markets. Because the safety standards are laxed or non-existent and you could end up with the bad lottery in every package. You nor others think about how that aluminum is made or processed. Aluminum is extremely rare in pure form in nature. It's why it was the most valuable metal in the world for some time. We get aluminum by gathering massive amounts of other ores and use chemicals to separate out the aluminum. Those chemicals aren't very good for the environment and a hard switch to all aluminum for everything would mean that we'd be strip mining the Earth much harder to get enough raw scrap ore to separate out aluminum. Even with mass recycling, you're still going to lose aluminum from the cycle as some of it will never get recycled. This means new aluminum is going to be needed to resupply global stores. Also, as populations grow, the need for aluminum will grow with it which requires even more fresh aluminum on top of what's lost which means more strip mining. Things get more complicated as you have to alloy different metals with the aluminum based on what material properties you need. Very few things are 100% aluminum, most of it are alloys. Recyling isn't much better. You have to use chemicals to clean the aluminum, chemicals to remove the enamel that's coating the outside that make labels, then dump tons of energy into it to heat it all up and a special system to separate impurities. Small amounts of it will bond with the detritus or oxides and get removed as a loss. If it's going to be used as a packaging for food/beverage, it'll need a new chemical sealant to prevent the aluminum form contaminating the food/drink. Generating that chemical isn't a 100% clean process. Recycling the aluminum after all of the extra steps refining with all of the energy costs dumped into it ends up with an end product much more expensive than importing processed ingots from foreign mines. This is why companies generally won't go for large quantities of or sometimes any recycled aluminum. They can get new aluminum for far cheaper than the recycled aluminum. If we were to force recycled aluminum as the primary container for everything, you'd just end up pricing the poorer nations out of the market completely as they're not going to have the ability to absorb those kinds of long-term costs. During the mid 70s to early 80s, most things were wrapped in paper/cardboard and people were flipping out that trees were being exhausted at an alarming rate to be turned into wood pulp to make paper products. They then pushed for a heavy transition to plastic as plastic was generated primarily through a waste stream when refining fuel and some of it could be recycled. There is no magic material. The grass is always greener on the other side. You're just going to move to another material and in another couple of decades a new crisis will emerge with that material that causes us to cycle back to another material.

@@Talishar copper we can use copper instead.

@@DynamicHaze Can still leech into food/water without a coating and its oxidants aren't very fun either.

Aluminium needs to be coated in plastic when used in contact with foods as its enrichment in the brain correlates with Alzheimers desease (either it is a cause for Alzheimers or Alzheimers causes it to become enriched in the brain). Aluminium is the most energy demanding metal to produce, having serious impact on the climate since electricity generation is not yet GHG neutral.

@@midnattsol6207 we can use copper instead.

Those imagined devices don't hold up to ocean storms. It's better to catch the stuff before it gets to the ocean. Proper waste management is key. The river skimmers are the 2nd best thing.
