What's An Ocean Garbage Patch?

[ReachDeep1]

NASA states that climate change is taking place on Mars. This is solid proof that we are not in control of our climate. I know many people may want something to "grab onto" in life such as working against global warming, but it would be a false reality.

[choongd]

humans suck

[iluvherbalife]

Justin Bieber has one song named baby, over 3 billion views. We have a fucking Cryisis in our planet and its only got 34 000 thousand views.

[iluvherbalife]

@iluvherbalife Whats up with our mind and soul.

[Maneleee]

everybody should take action if u have ideas do it and share creating you're group joining mine,its one of those problems that might get to the point that we wont be able to do anything

[killakellie45]

oh wow...i think thats amazing what they are doing!! its so sad how the ocean is so polluted thank you for this video

[ematech]

go to clean instead making war, the end of this planet is near not for alien invaders but for humans.

[mariotaz]

I'm ashamed... : (

[Lordithirsty]

If we legalize Cannabis we could stop the entire use of plastics, and use cannabis hemp. A complete natural 100% biodegradable substance. Not only plastic, paper as well solving the deforestation problem. Also, it can be used at oil. Completely eliminating major problems with one beneficial ILLEGAL plant. Ive only listed a few. Go and look it up yourself, and if you live in CALIFORNIA THIS NOVEMEBER YOU HAVE THE CHANCE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN

LEGALIZE CANNABIS

and look up the TRUE facts.

[100089295]

@Lordithirsty Yes we really need more idiots out there smoking and driving.

[Nomblies]

@100089295

Yeah, because marijuana being legal will influence new users to drive while under the influence.

Even if it did cause more people to smoke and drive, I'd rather drive next to someone who's stoned than someone who's drunk any day.

[blingmow101]

TRULY SAD.... WE ARE WHAT WE EAT

[CanadianCatastrophes]

things like this happen because humans think this planet is for them only... they dont consider anything else other than that everything this planet has is theirs for the taking... a destructive disgusting species we are, nothing rapes and poisons our planet like humans.

[xeano321]

you guys are always complaining about people throwing garbage in the ocean (i don't like it much my self) and about how people need to clean this up. Why don't you guys go help clean it up? I would but i don't have any money.

[LivingOnVacation]

Ph my -- I'm so comitted to do MY SMALL part to put a STOP to this!

[babis8142]

the worst animal of humans. At least the other animals only have instincts to survive we do stuff with logic which makes our crimes thousands of times worst

[xv3elnino]

My country doesn't even have a sea shore. Why should I care about this? I won't pay more so you can go scuba diving or eat exotic fishes.

[mobspeak]

fuck al gore the fucking liar

[mobspeak]

amazing, this world is so messed up and the only time politicians start to move their ass and do something is when they see a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow

[millionairejh]

wow so potentially, we are eating the fish that are eating other fish who eat plastic. could be a cause of cancer

[capcaunuu]

@millionairejh this way of thinking is maybe the only one that will make people do something about this shit, simply because people don't care about anything except themselves...

[rollsthepaul]

There are one half of the animal species on Earth, compared to 1900. With any luck at all we'll finish off the rest before 2100. We're number one. Very few give a fuck.

[tac0pwnage]

protect eywa!

[bitnola]

Following a hurricane in central Florida, the beach south of Sebastian Inlet had massive rafts of plant matter and plastics that stood over six feet tall. Looking closely at the drift-lines inshore, tiny bits of plastic were almost as numerous as plant matter.

Plastics, btw, are toxic, but not in a dramatically obvious way. They can inhibit development in the young. See endocrine disruption.

[krisachar]

Nice & thought proving video,as to what we human beings have doen to mother earth...

[tenken1981]

omg ! THAT'S where my army man went ! O_o

[Leonnidik]

Cruise ships dump their waste in the oceans.

[JawnMercernary]

Quite eye opening. I always knew that there are patches of garbage, but have never seen one myself.

[whiteswamfromthesful]

ok no more of this bull shit

ever thing has to be 100 % recycled or you dont make it,

if you have to make a product and it cant be Recyle then store it some place untel you find a way how to

[Pressilia94]

humans r so stupid sometimes

[m1ndz00]

Eye opening

[shadowace421]

so there isnt a texas size patch of garb in the ocean? you lied to me again media!!

[gnetmartinez]

OMG! I hope we can address this problem soon... :o(

[oo0Dionysus0oo]

this vid should be spread across the utube.

[twoblanketcovers]

kill the humans to save the world but that wouldn't happened, human are just too self centered. same goes to me

[jdsuperjive18]

This really paints a picture on how humans are negatively affecting the environment. If you dont believe that global climate change exists then your simply ignorant. I'm not saying that you should burn your cars and never use a plastic cup again, just saying you should make more positive decisions that positively effect the environment.

[silverstarz1000]

where i live there is a lot of trash in the Sargasso seaweed and we started this beach clean-up in C.E.D.O Center of Studies of Deserts and Oceans they have a but machine that sifts all the trash so we are making some progress, But the economy in fishing is terrible Sonora Mexico is literally fishing till extinction The " "Vaquita Marina" a porpoise that is endemic to This part of Mexico and there are only 150 left in the whole world!!

[satikass]

Face it, theres nothing to do anymore. Everyones talking about the need to make a change, yet a few take actions. This is not enough and thats why theres only one way for us to go and that is down the hill. If it was up to me, I would whipe out 99% of human species. Have a nice day ;)

[TaskForceSixTwoSix]

@satikass What a typical comment from a brainwashed and ignorant mentally deranged leftist environ-mentalist. The anti-human ideology of the left is uber creepy. Go pray to Obama. Maybe he'll save us.

[TheRealBlackPuma]

@satikass Would you volunteer to be part of that 99%? If not, you're just as bad as the rest of us. Selfish and uneducated. You can talk about the human race in 3th person all you want but you're just as big a part of the problem as everyone else. You are human too, stop pointing fingers. You just openly admitted that you would kill most of our friends and family if you had the chance. Do us all a favor and take your genocidal thoughts elsewhere.

[satikass]

@TheRealBlackPuma For the sake of the World I would be in that 99%, IF there were that many people better than me. At least, I try to give back, whan I have taken. And yes, I would whipe out you and your family, based on your comment.

[TheRealBlackPuma]

@satikass That is slightly honorable at least the very least. But still, forgetting that your plan involves mas genocide, it is also terribly flawed. It reminds me of the Battlestar quote ''All of this has happened before, and all of it will happen again''.

When 99% is gone, would mean you'd have to return to wild as cities will become impossible to run. Generations after that will become wild once more, essentially rewinding the cycle.

It would merely buy you time, not stop it.

[satikass]

@TheRealBlackPuma Yes, that's the problem. Eventually the whipe out would have to reoccur if those alive didn't learn to live, shall I say 100% green, in time.

[TheRealBlackPuma]

@satikass Eventually I think we will be able to go 100%. But I sincerely doubt killing most of the worlds (human) population would fix this problem. Not only would that delay the green power research for at least a few centuries, it might bump it out of our minds entirely.

I think education is that way to go. And I mean REAL education, not the loose 'oh lets raise awareness with parties and music' kind of education. But real, mandatory, factual education without the sugar coating.

[jetspeed0320]

Can't clean all of that up... =\ best ppl can do now is stop polluting. And this probably won't happen till millions of ppl end up dying from this =\

[TaskForceSixTwoSix]

@jetspeed0320 I doubt it. You leftist, atheist, neo-communsit, environ-mentalist fascists have killed countless millions of people with your Crusade to ban DDT, nuclear energy and gentically modified crops (not to mention all the people killed by your ceaseless efforts to end non-existant global warming) and yet you haven't changed any of those policies at all. In fact, you probably have no idea what I'm talking about because you're "green" cultist retards.

[HaT223]

@TaskForceSixTwoSix nuclear energy is not banned in US and niether is genetically modified crops. Infact most scientist agree that they are much more enviormentally friendly as they require less pesticides.

As for DDT it is known it can cause many spieces of bird to go extinct as it hinders there egglaying ability.

[LiquidZ2k]

@HaT223 Most genetically modified crops are made by one company, and charge the farmers of it massive fees to be able to grow it, and further is starting to show signs of weakness towards some insects and some health problems. The worst part of it is the crops can't be contained and start cross polinating with non-modified crops making them unable to be contained, and these unaware farmers getting charged fines and fees for growing modified food they did'nt know they had.

[drCasey555]

good job cleaning the ocean guys !!

[tarnishedmercury]

can you say extinction event?

i sure can

[divine0g0d]

gj guys keep it up

[doggygerms]

That sucks!

[bernardengks]

oh my god the word i can describe now.

[JimXie]

i love to eat fish and this saddens me that all the dead fish in the sea, i could have been eating :( lol

[zzSalvationzz]

her last name is cummins. L0L

[jayrellz]

God should've made Garbage Fish.

[mackraceing]

We can thank the DuPont,paper,fuel giants for outlawing hemp and poisoning the world.Strange how cannabis was made illegal in 37 and DuPont come out with nylon in 38 and Hurst never had to convert his paper presses or sell off his logging business.Cannabis was crushed and now we pay with our lives.

[redgreen09]

like the platic army men sade its out thare we have armys of fishing vesels that are not dong swot thare must be a whay to pay thes pepel to trallll fore this gunk hay it willl be redust by whot who knows it cud mack a dent just an idaer WKJR

[russianrick8403]

That fish that they showed in the jar was actually probably more comfortable in the jar than after they removed him. That is a trigger fish, and they have special fins (triggers) on the top and bottom of their body that they use to wedge themselves in to small holes and caves as a protection. Even though that jar was classified here as garbage, it provided some desired shelter for a trigger fish in the open ocean. Fish aren't picky. One man's trash is another fish's safe haven.

[AzanQuiff]

@russianrick8403 word

[TarikuKunn]

@russianrick8403 no it was dead in the plastic jar

plus it is poisons

[russianrick8403]

@TarikuKunn How do you determine that the fish was dead? The fish is clearly swimming and moving quite vigorously at 2:44. With the way these fish lodge themselves into a place like this, if the fish was dead, it would have fallen out of the jar without having to cut the jar; the trigger fish uses its triggers to hold itself in place. Secondly, which part is poisonous? Plastics are inert (they don't react or degrade). My fish don't mind the plastics in my aquarium. They don't rust either.

[ThatGuyOnYooTube]

@russianrick8403 yea, or death to the fish...

[Hissanrach]

@russianrick8403 Very true, this is why man-made objects underwater attract so much sea life.

[sxdirtbikedudemx]

@russianrick8403 I'm happy to see that you know know about the well beings of fish, as well as their comfort. I shall call you the "Fish Whisperer."

[Glaruf]

Instead of harassing fishermen Greenpeace and Sea Shepherd should be cleaning out these garbage patches if they really want to make a difference.

But I guess you can't get TV shows and attention doing that.

[rggfgjerjh]

i agree with the two other people we need wall-e's in the ocean

[Ganxiba]

let us be vegetarian

[XclxX111]

@Ganxiba

still wont do anything about the trash in the ocean lol

[shintsu01]

we need to slowly ban petrol plastic for simple consumables like packaging so that bio plastics or other packaging is used. When thats adapted we need to higher the list to longer lasting items like tv/audio/car items for example. If we don't do this then we kill our self in the long run

[cracktober]

@shintsu01 true. but this "bio" has to come from nature, so its just as bad.. but the good part is that it gets broken down naturally and the circle is complete.

[shintsu01]

@cracktober i totally agree! but still better to chose a lesser evil then just /ignore until we reach the point of no return....

We need to chance the way we package stuff. would be great if you could refill your empty glass bottle with your favorite drink. from a big dispenser and pay a interesting discount for example. :) it saves packaging and motivates people to use it.

[cracktober]

@shintsu01 here in sweden we put alot of effort on recycling. When we throw our garbage out, we throw them out in Household garbage (food, random stuff that gets burnt), Plastic (bottles etc), Batteries, Cardboard, Glass, and it goes on and on. When we buy a bottle, we can return it to a dispenser at the store and recycle it and you get around 2sek for each bottle, plastic or glass. Everything gets recycled as much as possible.

[wheelieblind]

y is trash in the sea to begin with?

[maxplaying]

wall-e?

[revenaaaant]

@maxplaying agree we should get wall-e's in the ocean

[PillowDood]

Did the fishes died?

[tomstutorials]

we need to sort this out pronto! Sarkerm is correct

[TheDorkyOneI]

Happy Earth Day

[EvilThingsNme]

poor fishes : (

[sarkerm2]

most of the oxygen are produced and carbon dioxide is absorbed by the oceans therefore we should really focus on keeping our oceans clean so this is not disturbed.

this should be our first priority followed by forests

[tutu1987]

@sarkerm2 sorry but giant forests, like the one around Amazonas absorb carbon dioxide, nvm

[TheLucypolo]

This is such a disaster, on our earth. iT IS SO SAD, HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET RID OF ALL THIS PLASTIC, WE NEED OUR SOURCE THE OCEAN TO ABSORB THE CARBON DIOXIDE.

[TheLucypolo]

This is such a disaster, on our earth. iT IS SO SAD, HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET RID OF ALL THIS PLASTIC, WE NEED OUR SOURCE THE OCEAN TO ABSORB THE CARBON DIOXIDE. cLEANING OUR oCEANS i THINK SHOULD BE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY.

[Niksa123456789]

@sarkerm2 Shut the fuck up about global warming

[minnlucifer666]

who the fuck invented plastic?

[blake1405]

@minnlucifer666 a very, very wealthy man?

[chaoticbluberry]

I wonder if we stop manufacturing plastic, the patches and litter would reduce. It may also save many of those marine life.

Just a thought...

[wtfudinkitslina]

wtpho..>.> man helluh sad

[realbibob]

wtf?

[KarlRuprectKroenen]

sad... that's horrible

[verbalexost]
