I’m 84 years of age and brought up in the thirties, forties, fifties’ when we had no plastic waste at all. All the rivers, streams, and beaches were all clean and free of plastic waste. The school I went to ( about 150 children) didn’t even have a garbage bin, just a small wooden box in case someone had something to throw away.
Who is to blame for all this plastic waste in the ocean and waterways? Let’s take fruit and vegetables for an example. The culprit is the grower, the distributor, and the seller. If they say they are concerned about plastic waste they are lying. They couldn’t care less. Scientists have shown videos of birds and fish and turtles etc dying by swallowing small pieces of plastic, yet the grower of oranges, apples, avocado, pears etc you name it, they stick billions of small plastic labels on their product. Most of these labels ends up down throats of fish, birds, and even children. Why don’t they use paper labels instead of plastic? Better still why use labels at all. For decades we purchased fruit and vegetables without labels stuck all over them and went through the checkout no trouble. Why put plastic garters on bunches of bananas. Surely there is no need for that. And why pack and sell 3 potatoes in a plastic container. These are just a few things that cause plastic waste. There are hundreds of items that could be sold without using plastic packaging.

There is a huge difference between someone who acts out of compassion and someone who acts out of survival.
The latter will only look at their own point of view, putting in the bare minimum to suffice. The compassionate will look at their point of view and wants the best for all.

My sister and I have devised a prototype to clean solid floating waste from water bodies.
Need help to check its feasibility and suitability .
Can anyone help us!!!

[digantasonowal]

This is a very serious topic and it needs to be shared to all the world leaders. Although I am nobody but I urge all the countries of the world to come together and solve this plastic pollution and protect our oceans, which is the lifeline of our planet. As an individual I am trying to reduce the use of plastics in my daily use but I can't as plastics has became part of our life. But I firmly believe that we billions of humans around the world can solve this issue and making our oceans clean. Sorry for making it long.

Anyway sending love and support from India.

This is so sad I didn’t know how bad it was until I saw this😢😢😭😭

I'm sure that the realization of the massive amount of plastic in the ocean, and its severe impact on polluting the marine ecosystem and causing the death of numerous life forms, was eye-opening. It highlighted the urgent need for action to protect our oceans. The magnitude of the problem made me realize that we have a significant responsibility to address this issue and safeguard the health and vitality of our oceans. It prompted me to educate myself further on the detrimental effects of plastic pollution and to actively seek ways to reduce my own plastic consumption and waste. Additionally, I became motivated to support organizations and initiatives focused on ocean conservation and participate in beach clean-ups to directly contribute to the preservation of our oceanic environment. I am confident that with collective efforts and a heightened awareness, we can make a positive impact and ensure a healthier future for our oceans and the countless species that depend on them.

This is the hardest challenge we have faced yet. No body decides to pollute, they decide on what they can afford. Don't let this video make you feel guilty. Instead let it help you understand that you are not expected to do it all on your own. We are working together to phase out plastic. All it takes is that initial decision to say "I will start to try".
