1. Dean Jacobson Feb 26, 2012 11:43 PM A lot of that plastic is coming from small islands states like the Marshall Islands, where I live... our shores are covered with locally dumped plastic! At high tide some back yard dumps release plastic directly to the lagoon (I have photographed it!). I use a canvas bag to shop, but what small gesture...

4. Sian Feb 25, 2012 11:34 AM I agree this should be shown in every school in the world the younger generation need to be made more aware of this they are the ones that can change and they are the future.

7. MAX Jun 16, 2010 3:23 PM This is the reality... the side most people don't want to see, 80 million tons a year - truly an overwhelming shadow cast by the light of our progress... paradox everywhere.
8. bob wallace May 20, 2010 8:01 PM I agree with all of the above statements. beautifully done! and the music goes well with it! but seriously, most people in the world really don't give a darn and don't want outsiders telling them how to live their lives. that's just the way it is in the real world, unfortunately.
9. Ann May 19, 2010 4:09 PM I say it needs to be aired as a commercial during prime time TV. To be fair only after commercials where there is plastic used, clearly seen or promoted as part of the packaging.....
10. Bonnie Monteleone May 18, 2010 9:00 PM Amazing - the best I've seen and I've seen many videos trying to grasp the enormity of this problem. Thanks for posting it!

12. Sean Null May 18, 2010 5:22 PM This video needs to be shown in schools with someone narrating bits here and there. The kids will get it.
