  • Heres an idea! Why arent shows like this made into adds that are on mainstream TV to educate the pulblic??? Because it costs too much? Because everything we use is plastic and its too hard to change? It seems a simple idea for goverments to adopt. When a problem like this is just left to grow we are truly a doomed scociety. I feel sorry for us all, we are just pawns of the corporate world and we really seem to have no controll over what to do about it.

  • Stop arguing, this is a problem we need to solve. Start looking for solutions.

  • @HLFFracture Go to Preserve toothbrushes! After your toothbrushes life is over you just send it back to the company free of charge and they recycle it into a new toothbrush!

  • love the video man

  • This is absolutley shocking&disgusting. Maybe we should stop being so selfish and think about what are actions are causing. Do you see anyone trying to stop the issue. No, because everyone just cares about themselves.

  • Respect for this clear video - we need to pick up every day plastic - not throw it away - give a good example. Birds - turtles fish die by the dirt plastic chemicals . Support all good actions - support also Manfred Reicher "Albatross" - yesseaearthshepherd.
