Do you know where our plastic goes?

Did you know that our oceans are filling up with plastic pollution?

Listen to the following presentation by Charles Moore, an oceanographer who pioneered the study of plastic debris, the Strategic Council on Plastic Pollution convened at the Google Campus in Mountain View, California on June 4, 2009.

What is your opinion on this problem? What is the best solution?

  1. Nice video.... I have learned that "Recycling is not a suitable solution. Because the reality most of our plastic is land filled, down cycled or exported to other countries." So, we need to do something or solution for this problem.

  3. This is a really a big help to our nature. This video has its significant to our environment. Plastic pollution are now worldwide issue isn't it? Disposal of plastic had increased. This video inspire us to be aware on the act especially in using plastics which distracts our life and can affect the balance of nature. Plastic pollution should be given solution already, not just government but society as well and we should also know that it will start to each of us.

  4. Yes. I agree. this kind of issue may be small for some but if we get the meaning of the video more deeper it may be a big issue for us. But there are several choices our plastic may go, it either go for the good or bad. It may go to the ocean or in the trash can where it can be recycled into useful plastic again. So what will you choose? For the god or bad? If you want it for the good, throw it on a proper trash bin. :)

  6. Why did we even make these harmful synthetics? If we, ourselves does not even know how to dispose them properly? Raise the non-plastic awareness... decrease plastic materials.
