I usually never comment. But I watch your videos for a long time. And I really wanna say thank you for the great and actually really inspiring content. You seem to really love science and I do too. I honestly enjoy your content :) So.... Thank you
As a kid I used to have a big blob of mercury from a broken thermostat that I played with and people worried about that. Now we're full of plastic. Go figure!
You didn’t have to show the poop. You made your point. But seriously, I’m sharing this video with everyone I know. It would have been nice if you showed the health risks from micro plastics. Thanks for the video.
Ironically, the best place for those plastics to be "banished" permanently is the bottom of the sea... -> More specifically the subduction zones that will eventually send them into the mantle (to be decomposed by heat as simple carbon & hydrogen molecules like methane).
@@davidrosner6267 Transport? -> I assume you mean after "collecting" them from the garbage patch, adding a cheap "gel" (so it can be compressed into air-free, almost pure solid "plastic cubes"); then moved by ship to a NEARBY SUBDUCTION ZONE (Marianas Trench is not the closest); then "dropped" so gravity & time does the rest.
@@talonjuel9486 If it was that easy and cheap, we would discard our garbage that way. It'd be cheaper to restore every piece of garbage into edible food and useful products than to drag them into the marianas trench (and make sure they get swallowed in) Why? For once: Pressure.
We need to fund research and development of biodegradable synthetic fibers for clothing and put pressure on the textile industry to stop using current synthetic fibers until alternatives are found. I urge everyone to avoid buying new clothes made from current synthetic fibers if they are able to.
This is so hard to watch. 🥺 what have we done! I can’t believe that all those companies that have made plastic don’t care where it ends and that is going to kill us. I look all around me and plastic is everywhere. I’m trying my best to change my lifestyle but it seems almost impossible. I’m not quitting!
Stop eating from the hotel and try to cook at the home. Keep distance from Alcohal , soft drinks and artificial juice (these all drinks come in plastics bottles) so automatically you are fighting against Plastic. 3: Make a homemade clothes beg and whenever you go to the supermarket so take that clothes homemade beg with you. It's safe and reusable.
Dr Shanna Swan has been researching this for over 20 years. She's found that chemicals like Ethenals and Bisphenol A & S have been found to effect Hormones, which may explain low fertility rates. On the plus side though, she's foubd that plastic doesn't stay in the body for long around 4-6 hours. She's published a detailed video in the youtube channel 'After Skool'.
well, yes but that would only stop the release of microfibres into the pipes. When you clean out the filter and toss it in the bin its still eventually going to end up in the ocean or anywhere really.
These microplastic have been found in the gut of sea creatures at the bottom of the ocean. It goes all the up the food chain. It's most probably in the food you ate today. 😔
You tell me that there's plastic inside almost every living thing on this planet and then say, "The future's going to be fantastic."? Did you mean as in fantastical, the stuff of fantasy because the real version is something too horrible to face?

Why are they showing plastic partical that are a million time to big to pass through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream? Do they plan on surgically implanting them?
also, what about syringes made out if plastic, couldn't the plunger grind against the wall of the syringe and kinda " shred it" and release micro plastics into the bloodstream
A fantastic future can be good, bad or both. Great and terrible things, things most of us can barely comprehend, are happening... Amazing, transformative technologies that will change our lives forever And Serious changes in this, the only ecosphere in the universe known to support life. It all seems to be moving toward some kind of crescendo scheduled to occur sometime around 2035. Buckle up!

Hi NeoScribe. Great wee video. Who is NeoScribe? Don't really need a name just a few lines of Bio/academic credentials etc on your ' About' page. cheers
Am I missing something? If I can see those micro plastics on the penny, why can’t you see them in your bottled water even on a bright sunny day? Are they even smaller?
first, most plastics are transparent second, i believe this video is talking about nanoplastics in water which are MUCH smaller than micro plastics and are invisible to the naked eye
It can have some effect, but the main cause for cancer is the modern diet (too much meat) combined with a lot of man made materials that are polluting the environment (like pesticides, fossil fuels, etc)
Stop making plastic junk. My mom hated plastic. No plastic toys. But I need the 100 piece grocery set. I suffered. She said they were dirty. Half the plastic has been made in last 15 years. USA is the biggest piggie per capital.
So what they are showing is a thousand time to big to pass through the intestinal walls into the bloodstream is it harmlessly passes through and is eliminated in your feasies!
Plastic is collected like medical waste and recycled at my house. Most countries throw plastic on the ground and have no recycling program. This is were your floating garbage is coming from. We can do better but the bigger improvement would be to help other countries start recycling.
There's a lot floating, and even more that don't float. Time for everybody to garden and get some chickens. I'm getting better at it...Some of mine are better then store bought
also worth pointing that on an individual level individuals living in asia produce 8x less plastic waste than the average american. Also, you're only talking about river conducted ocean plastics. Western countries such as America produce waaay more plastic which doesn't help anyone. Don't play the blame game alright? It's everyone's problem.
Yes, overpopulation is a problem however it is mainly the corporations' fault. They intend to place the blame on the consumer through 'greenwashing'. But it is the responsibility of the manufacturer.
I found transparent white rice, i guess i will never eat rice. Quite faire for health also. After all carbs can be provided by many... And without much starch😉
At the end he said the future is going to be fantastic, BS it looks like the future is getting worse just go back to the point he said it went from 2.3 million to 448 million ...
Don't worry, be happy. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, until you can prove otherwise 😊 plastic is part of a healthy diet. When your body learns how to make use of plastics, it will make body parts that last much longer.

My god what have we done to ourselves, to the planet, and to the animals?
We need to cover the whole planet with plastic wrap to preserve it for future generations.
Great . Keep good work
Thanks!
I love your business videos ki posting videos on business a new technologies
Will do!
I get when your were talking about stool samples, but did the image have to be hyper realistic?

We all talk about it, but no action is done!...it's like a broken record
Thank you so much for this info.
This will never be solved. Best case scenario we evolve to cope with the future effects.
I shouldn't have seen this terrifying video, most of us know how harm plastics are for our health but we ignored those factoids 😐
So any updates on this? This video is 2 years old. Are there any studies to what it does to our bodies?

That's just a stock image showing Small pieces of plastic not actual microplastics. You literally cannot see those without a microscope.
3:43 Ah, so nothing’s gonna be done. Got it.
Great VIdeo!!! :)
what if the microplastic that we unintentionally consume is the main reason all of the modern cancer case.
It can have some effect, but the main cause for cancer is the modern diet (too much meat) combined with a lot of man made materials that are polluting the environment (like pesticides, fossil fuels, etc)
@@victorbar3567 in fact, modern diet is full of refined oils and refined carbs. We are eating meat a long time ago

what would putting the plastic into a volcano do could it work
evaporate into the atmosphere.
Us plastic Corp commercial came on before the vid
I dont drink from plastic stuff for years now.
And? How do you feel? I mean your health
doesn't change the fact that microplastics is in the air, water and food, no matter what vessel you're using to consume it.

No

U dont have to show the poop!
can you please link or show where is the research paper you cited?
thank you
Could our body even evolve to thisv
Nothing new, they just didn't mention it like always hiding trying to keep it like they care but they don't.
I never have and never will buy synthetic clothing
Scary...😨
Worth pointing out that plastic polution of the oceans doesn't really come from Europe or North America, it's almost all from Asia.
also worth pointing that on an individual level individuals living in asia produce 8x less plastic waste than the average american.
Also, you're only talking about river conducted ocean plastics. Western countries such as America produce waaay more plastic which doesn't help anyone. Don't play the blame game alright? It's everyone's problem.
Do not blame Asia, they r just do for they have paid
