World Oceans Day Statement on Plastic Pollution

[VideoGameCoupons]

those kids are so ADORABLE! aw...

[2hands30minsproj]

Time for industry to take responsibility & design litter free products & packaging. Recovery of used products & packaging MUST be included in distribution systems.

Decades of ineffectual anti litter education and recycling programs show this plastic pollution issue will not be solved as long as companies can sell disposable items without adequate recovery systems.

Bring in a refund system for ALL disposable plastics and packaging, with a sufficient refund we could have 98% recovery of plastic.

Oh how I love my sweet life,

Don't litter my home.

You know how NASA has money for the Moon? you know how the Millitary has money for weapons?, you know how scientists are paid to scratch their balls? Well Why and How the the fuck don't they have money to get rid of this Rubbish. Eliminate the pointless and spend it on the worthy, the governernt is full of mental wrecks who pay for our consequence. Like this to go to the Top, copy paste this everywhere and see the reactions.

[soulassssns]

We know this. now come up with a way to remove the waste that is in the ocean.

[ImageworksPrint]

You're right on the mark! (I love the hatchet in the background)

That guy looks like the dude who hit me with his car today, but what he's saying is right

Ocean Voyage Institute is making a HUGE effort to clean up this mess. They are currently raising funds to go the North Pacific Gyre this summer with a team of volunteers to collect the plastic and trash that has accumulated there, as well as researching environmentally friendly ways to dispose of it. Please help save our oceans and the wildlife that live there by googling “dream sail raffle” and visiting our website, as well as posting it on your pages!

There are too many people on the planet, about 500m is barely sustainable and yet we're fast approaching 7bn why has no government or international organisation addressed this?

[PlanetZeroGravity]

We all need to take an active role in changing our lifestyle and reliance on plastic.

Carry a re-usable beverage bottle and shopping bag are easy ways that we can ALL help make a difference.

this is really really good..nice and short, completely right, thanks

[TheGlobalWe]

Brilliant video J!

Concise & powerful... 90 seconds that can change the way people think

[greatestsongsofLIFE]

Unless you make plastic out of Hemp (which you could eat if you wanted) we will continue to suffer. No one is gonna stop littering so we must make safe plastics

[07GoldStar]

O vídeo é bom, mas o tema, infelizmente é muito triste.

Salvem os animais TODOS! Salvem o Planeta!

[07GoldStar]

Plástico?! Vamos esquecer que existe! Façamos alguma coisa a bem do Planeta! É dever do "maior" animal que é o Homem defender todos os outros, que na maioria são indefesos.

[YERTians]

I like the pledge. Speak the truth, J! Why do we feel the need to fill our oceans with plastic? Just seems like a silly waste.

[suotamosa]

This is just heart-wrenching. We need to stop manufacturing plastic, or else design a new, more easily decomposed material to replace plastics with. The modern world is addicted to plastic- it's like a drug.

[arlohemphill]

Go J!

[oceanmagazine]

J's commentary is right on. Only 3-5 percent of the plastic we use is recycled. The rest stays with us forever. Plastic is collecting and collecting, in smaller and smaller pieces as it breaks down, and becomes a part of our blood, our skin, our hair, what we breathe and eat and drink. It's TOXIC. I've switched to glass and stainless steel. It's easy. Do it!
