Thank you for this comprehensive report. Such a sad state of affairs. The information on microplastics being consumed daily by infants who are bottle-fed and the information on how plastics are in the placenta of the mother and child really saddened me.
In my opinion, because there are not economic interests behind it. For the climate change, you have a growing industry that makes and sells products that are supposely ecological. You also have political parties whose ideology goes in line with consumtion reduction, environmental refugees, etc. So, there are strong interests behind convincing us on the importance of climare change. This is different for plastic pollution. Plastics are stable, cheap and light-weight. Ideal for logistics and packaging. Any replacement for them would increase costs. This replacement is not convinient for our economic system.
I was literally the first to address this over 20 years ago in a series of lawsuits that lasted for 20 years. It's the most likely cause of our demise because it absorbed PCBs and has killed or displaced half the phytoplankton in my lifetime. As plankton goes all life will soon follow.
The prevalence of micro-plastics is really scary. Yet, the affects on human health aren’t conclusive, and it really brings up the question; “Do the problems caused by micro-plastics outweigh other sources of pollution?
Hi Vivek. Sadly, there isn’t much we can do until we reduce the sheer quantity of plastic we use and consume. On a personal level, we can start by not using things like artificial fibers, glitter, etc. But, individual changes are not enough unless large manufacturers bring their outputs down. Do keep writing in. - S. Ramesh.
Hey! The video as always was pretty solid information wise. However, it would be much helpful to focus on the information without the BGR music. Thank You
Good thing that petroleum is loosing the shine and electric vehicle industry is starting to boom... As plastic is a biproduct of refineing petroleum, with reduced usage of fossil fuels, plastic will become more costly and will be used less hopefully
Women generates 50kg of plastic waste during her menstrual age and a single pad takes 500 years to disintegrate into the soil. Kindly switch to menstrual cup. Each one of us can make a huge difference. By choosing sustainable menstrual product, we create a better world for our kids. A planet with less plastic should be our immediate goal. #theonegcup #kottayamkhaleesi
@@neetuhareet9431well the real question is where can I find girls like you. You literally have a meme template as a profile picture! Girl you are awesome
The power to make a change lies with us, as consumers. We need to consciously and voluntarily shun products packaged in heavy plastic and try to reuse as much as possible. The recycling system is under massive strain, hence recycling rates are in their early teens 😓 If you’d like to make a switch to more sustainable solutions, please visit www.aranieco.com for a range of plastic-free personal and home care products.
No one wants to talk about this issue..Coz this issue doesn't have communal nationalist appeal..Neither is it a topic that could fetch you votes.. Talking about this issue implies accepting the existence of this issue which in turn imply doing something about it , which the govt is mit capable of
@@sukhbirnaidu4360 I'm not even surprised. I'm commenting on our govt. not doing anything to help and just making statues. Btw, the Statue of unity cost 2900 crore, and made a meager 82 crore in 1 year. That is very little. So I recommend you do research before blindly being happy that our tax money was wasted on statues.
Green Planet! We should've just used hemp for everything. Choose and trust nature always!
Absolutely
We can make biodegradable plastics from hemp, you can actually use hemp to make a lot things from rope to flooring tiles and the list goes on.
Another brilliant series from ThePrint which I have started to enjoy other than CTC and National Interest.. Keep up the good work.. kudos!
One of the best show keep doing good work print
Most underrated video ever seen on RUclips.
Thank you mam u covered each and every aspect beautifully.
Fashion industry is the most leading industry responsible for micro plastics
Yet another beautifully covered story! Thank you!
Excellent information embedded in a 12min video
Cosmetics are also said to be one of the biggest sources of micro plastics.
There are few brands which makes cosmetics line , like soultree and ayurcine and others too.
I hope you will aware your loved ones about this .
As there are alternative , we should encourage them .
Love this science segment of Print ! Keep up the good work!

The photo example of microplastics in marine animals is two whole fast food cups?!? Not exactly the "micro" I came here to freak out about.
Holy shit this is happenings so quickly why is no one talking about this!???

Materialism.. We all r responsible. Stunning
Like Sadhguru says let’s all switch to natural fibers and get tighter control over recycling process. Let’s live consciously
Madam one query-
Is nylon (synthetic fibre) a type of micro plastic?
This is utterly horrific and very sad. It's now too late to reverse the damage that's been caused.
Keep up the hard work and efforts you people are putting in and yes keep sharing knowledge. Thank you

Pretty informative.... 👍
Putting us in a spot of bother
What are possible solutions to minimize its use..?

Thanks for your reply...!
Living on the edge 😇
Have a pleasant day!
Very good and thorough , m gracias
Super aggregation of knowledge...TQ
So what is the demonstrable and proved effect of micro-plastic?

Now we are reaping what we had sown.
Humans : Here is a material that is basically indestructible

Very important video!
Sandhya, (2:53) you do not use 'most remotest' to convey superlative. Use either most or suffix -est.
This is scary
We better start metabolizing plastic ASAP.

Is it only microplastics or plastics, ad well?
I seriously doubt the plants that absorb water after washing clothes/utensils etc..is not pure...those plants may contain something
So cute anchor is
How can one help to reduce micro plastics .
I have switched my makeup brands to more oraganic options , didn't allow plastic products (tiffins, bottles, etc )any more as much as I can .

Are menstrual cups reliable ?

@@neetuhareet9431 yes Neethu. Menstrual cups are reliable, eco-friendly and pocket friendly. DM me in instagram. I can give more information
@@akanshadwivedi7257 very true. Thank you for switching to menstrual cup
Is it ethical to have children knowing that they will inherit seas and land filled with microplastics to live on.
Can someone explain the implication of the omnipresence of micro plastic on Earth? All i heard in the video is ,"its everywhere".
😍😍
This is karna. We poisoned mother Earth and now we are poisioning ourselves.

No, we did not "need" masks. We were influenced that we did, and therefore perhaps thought we did, but we didn't.

This is worst than corona sadly none is willing to address this issue until it blows up like corona did.

👍👍👍👍👍👍
well i guess we humans are the ones facing extinction event huh?
All the research going on to go in space , defence equipment and no research for 'alternative to plastic' we have Destin to doom..
Watch this
This is just a tip of the iceberg. Bigger side effects of the current lifestyle are yet to come.

You look tired! Didn't sleep well?
By the way, what is the size of these microplastic particles?
How does her sleeping pattern make any difference to you? lol is she your daughter?
