The Ocean Clean Up …. “Heartbreaking Photos”!!

~~February 22, 2016~~ 

THE OCEAN CLEANUP

The Ocean Cleanup develops technologies to extract, prevent, and intercept plastic pollution.

The Ocean Cleanup’s goal is to fuel the world’s fight against oceanic plastic pollution by initiating the largest cleanup in history.

Mankind dumps millions of tons of plastic into our oceans every year.

An ambitious project slated to begin in the next decade will help eliminate existing waste by collecting trash in specific regions of the Pacific — but it’s vital for the rest of us to enact sustainable solutions if we want to avoid creating the same problem all over again.

That said, few of us really understand the situation firsthand.

“It’s quite an abstract thing to talk about. It’s very far away for people,” Boyan Slat, founder of The Ocean Cleanup, told The Huffington Post in an interview in September 2015.

Slat, who’s heading the plan to build a 62-mile, trash-capturing wall in the Pacific, didn’t have his own awakening until he tried to get his diver’s license.

If seeing the waste meant something to him, perhaps it will mean something to you. We’ve collected a few images to put the Pacific’s trash crisis into perspective.

A PLASTIC OCEAN

About the Film

WE NEED A WAVE OF CHANGE

A Plastic Ocean is a new feature-length adventure documentary that brings to light the consequences of our global disposable lifestyle. We thought we could use plastic once and throw it away with negligible impact to humans and animals. That turns out to be untrue.

In A Plastic Ocean an international team of adventurers, researchers, and world-saving heroes embark on an expedition around the globe that delves into the unknown lurking beneath our seemingly pristine and remote waters.

The results will astound viewers – just as it did our adventurers, who captured never-before-seen images of marine life, plastic pollution, and its ultimate consequences for human health.

During its four-year production period, this adventure documentary was filmed in 20 locations around the world in beautiful and chilling detail to document the global effects of plastic pollution–and introduce workable technology and policy solutions that can, if implemented in time, change things for the better.

The proliferation of plastic products in the last 70 years or so has been extraordinary; quite simply we cannot now live without them. We are now producing nearly 300 million tons of plastic every year, half of which is for single use. More than 8 million tons of plastic is dumped into our oceans every year.

Plastic is cheap and incredibly versatile with properties that make it ideal for many applications. However, these qualities have also resulted in it becoming an environmental issue. We have developed a “disposable” lifestyle and estimates are that around 50% of plastic is used just once and thrown away.

Plastic is a valuable resource and plastic pollution is an unnecessary and unsustainable waste of that resource.
