- Microplastics are everywhere - in our waterways and in our bodies. But the corporations responsible are facing no consequences - and making billions. Our brains and our blood now contain microplastics, and it's time for the perpetrators to face consequences.

Monsanto has done nothing for the public good. What a horrible corporation.
Lobbying should be outlawed!
Unfortunately the Supreme Court ruled that corporations are people and have speech rights, and money = speech. We’re f*cked.

It's called going by instinct. The new life will consist of 5 hours of work each day with 3 days a week. The rest is no stress as you manage your life and no longer your employer. And in the future you receive constant upgrades. Your aim will eventually be for a life of high salaries and enough work which means no slavery.

Ehlers danlos syndrome is killing me. I'm born and raised Pasadena, Houston TX. My mother worked for chemical plants while pregnant with me and for the next 35 years. I was born while she was at work INSIDE a petrochemical plant. My entire family is healthy except me cuz they are all from NYC. I am the only one born on the gulf coast and the poster child for what the plastics, PFAs, and chemical plants do to healthy genetics.
The town I grew up in is entirely surrounded by chemical plants and the Houston ship channel. We can't swim in the water. The air always smells like like a chemical but always a different chemical. The pipelines and plants run throughout the entire town. We did tornado, fire, and chemical plant EXPLOSION drills starting in elementary cuz there are plants within walking distance of every single public school and daycare. Instead of petrichore before it rains at night we smell rotten eggs cuz that's when they do burn offs with the logic that less people will be outside and the rain will "wash it away".... and right into our soil and water.
I have an estimated 10 yrs left to live and I'm not alone. Myself and my childhood friends are all sick or infertile. The women raised here in the 50s and 60s all developed cancer.
We're dying down here.
I grew up near Dow Chemical Company and I have a similar story.

Glass is infinitely recyclable, why do we need this crap
we don't, but it helps rich people make more money
It is also heavier and can be more fragile. But I agree. I go out of my way to make sure I am not using plastic water bottles because in a place where tap water is generally potable there isn't much of a reason for the average person to use them.
It's cheaper to make.
Because glass is dense and fragile. How was that not obvious?
@@custos3249nope
Corpos make more money with plastic than they make with glass, there, eat your heart out

It's so funny when companies complain about a lack of births and a lack of consumers. They know what's causing the problems. They don't care. The dissonance between what these companies want and what they are directly causing is ridiculous.
Because the multi-millionaire and billionaire leaders will fuck off to their bunkers in New Zealand and other places when things get bad enough, or they're old enough to die before facing any real consequences. I don't advocate for actual eco-terror but if I read something in the news about them being threatened legally/physically to force them to change, I wouldn't be sad.
Nah but they're solving it by taking away women's rights to turn them into brood mares /s
True. And the government that's supposed to regulate them as an act of representing the people... largely doesn't. And the people themselves have been charged since the beginning of the US to hold gov't accountable... and they don't. So in truth, we all bear some measure of responsibility to do what we can. If people have surrendered their power, then when gov't and corporations bed together, it's kind of silly to point at them and play victim (not saying you're doing this, rather, that this seems to be a common thread in many comments here). In truth, 'we' are a significant part of the problem, but we don't do anything but continue to consume plastics. And since consumer demand drives much of the decisions that manufacturers make about what's profitable, they (the mfrs) are doing what we (the consumers) want. Quite the irony there, right?
Maybe they WANT this and CAUSE it...? Ever think of that
Its like its made by design like this
Ah, Monsanto. We meet again when there's horrible news.
A government sponsored evil.
A Monsanto salesman came to Seattle, about 50 years ago, wanting to "date" my girlfriend's sister. She was hooked up with a biker and didn't want to see him. Somehow, my girlfriend had sex with him (probably oral sex, knowing her). Anyway, we both mysteriously came down with the clap, an STD.
I figured out what happened, no doubt, and that asshole probably infected a hundred more oblivious people.
Let's hear it for Monsanto!!!
Assholes.

Nurdles all the way down.

But they gave double to💩 trump💩
i'm shocked we haven't heard from our buddy DuPont yet.
We need to stand up together and boycott plastic! Once and for all!
Do you know who got everything to switch to plastic in the first place? Environmentalists who used to protest and scream “making glass is harming our planet…save the planet…switch to plastic” and “save the trees…save the planet…switch to plastic bags instead of paper”. I used to watch them on the news when I was younger. When I was younger….all of our sodas came in glass bottles…even the bigger bottles were glass….and we could return the bottles to the store for recycling and get a few cents back for every bottle we brought back. We used to have paper grocery bags too and mostly cardboard type packaging on products. Soap didn’t come in plastic bottles either…it was bar soap wrapped in paper. There were some plastic bottles for shampoo and some products….but there wasn’t a lot of plastic. Then those environmentalists started their protests and demanding we switch to plastic because it was better for the environment. They claimed making glass was harming the planet because you have to use a lot of sand to make glass. So environmentalists always cause more problems with their demands….just as you are seeing now….which is why none of them should ever be listened to.

My heart is so sad for the Earth, the soil, the water, plants and animals. All living beings being effected by corporations who have no governance.
They do. It's up to us individually and collectively to take action.
And action has been taken. You may not hear about it.
Here's what you can do in general (cipypasta incoming)
I want to encourage everyone. Don't feel powerless. I will tell you specifically how. I would screenshot this comment!
-Vote and SPEAK TO your LOCAL representatives. Don't just focus on national elections. Focus on voting for and SPEAKING TO your local representatives, which will create a grassroots effect. Much legislation at the national levels started from grassroots efforts locally. And remember that whatever is spoken of in UA-cam comments or with family will almost CERTAINLY never enter the ears of your elected representative.
-Sign petitions and donate to nonprofits that are fighting on our behalf, like ToxicFreeFuture, EWG, BCPP, CEH, HBBF, and Ecocenter.
-Vote with your wallet. Or just don't buy anything at all if you have what you need, so you don't have a stockpile of reusable grocery bags. Buy Zero Waste products. Download apps like Yuka, Think Dirty, DetoxMe, and Clearya. Use desktop version on Amazon, look under "sustainability features," and click "Safer Chemicals." Utilize toxic free product blogs and databases like TheFiltery, EWG, MyChemicalFreeHouse, Greenopedia, PrincessTigerLily, Leafscore, MayoClinic SkinSafe, ChemicalFreeAF.
There are improvements in wastewater, and certain bacteria have been found to eat plastic. Studies also suggest you can reduce levels from your body by donating blood and/or blood plasma
Collectively and even individually, we are not powerless. Change does happen and has! We just have to use our voices instead of despairing and doing nothing.

Monsanto is quite possibly the most evil company on the planet.
no that is blackrock
I get your point, but just to add a bit to it: companies don't do anything; people do things. A company is just words on paper. It's people who make decisions and carry out those decisions. So, technically, your comment could be slightly restated as *"people who work for Monsanto* are quite possibly the most evil people on the planet" and it would be even closer to the truth. Sobering, right?
Monsanto no longer exists. Their assets were bought by the German chemical company Bayer. So that's who you should be looking at now. They don't give a d**m about what our politicians allow them to do in America. That they wouldn't be allowed to do in their own country. The problem is in our politicians, who are bought and paid for by the corporate billionaires.

The most powerful nation in the world and can't put a tiny leash on corporations. What is the point?
Formerly United Corporations of Kochistan
The deeper the dive you go, you’ll find that there’s a strong argument that the most powerful nation in the world never really abandoned and left its predecessor’s controlling hand. European oligarchs through the approval of corporate appointees and war hawks wanted to prop up the US as an industrial powerhouse. Essentially, the US in its industry turned into a militaristic force and fought Europe’s wars at the desire of the oligarchs there. As things are today, the wish of those oligarchs is to see the decay and disassembling of US industry, with negative externalities of subsidized mega corporations being intended, so they can prop themselves up as the dominant global political force.
Tom Luongo is a financial analyst who holds to that theory anyway.

My best friend accuses me of not trusting the pharmaceutical industry or anything for that matter. This documentary assures my mistrust. Thank you
No, it means you should distrust those companies mentioned, not every company. That is then an overgeneralistion and then I would agree with your friend. The world is bigger than the US and there are more companies than the few mentioned here. If you then distrust all the doctors for example you‘ll make life harder for you. Doesn‘t mean you should trust every doctor. It‘s not yes or no to a whole population. More nuance would help you.

Few years ago I was doing some equipment inspection for a utility company and I found myself behind the Cryovac/Sealed Air plant in Duncan, SC. Turns out that at least a couple acres behind that plant was used as a dumping ground for all sorts of unused or unsold plastic products; grocery bags, tons of pellets, rolls of plastic film. They had covered it up with dirt but it eroded and it was like the ground was entirely made of plastic underneath your feet. I don't know how deep the plastic went but there was so much of it I got the sense it probably went down a few feet at least. I happened to know someone who worked at that plant for 20 years in the 80's and 90's, and he knew all about it, so the type of plastic is almost certainly the old toxic stuff that was full of harmful, leeching chemicals.
Right below that area is a stream that is a tributary to one of the largest rivers in the region.

Bottles were so much better then all this plastic in our bodies.
We use plastic for everything. We dress ourselves in plastic. We then wash those plastic fibers in machines, and pump all the water (full of tiny fibers) through our sewage treatment plants and out into the ocean. So much plastic everywhere in our lives and we redistribute it into our environment.
Why so much plastic? Because it is light to transport our food and consumer goods, and it is cheaply produced and makes money for petrochemical companies. Petroleum companies skim profit from every single part of our lives.
I wish more people would try their best to stop buying plastic clothing. Polyester, nylon, acrylic, rayon, spandex, etc. We have amazing natural fibres from wool and cotton and flax to bamboo and hemp.
Buy vintage clothing that was made from real cotton. I'm sure there's a documentary on that as well.

I do my part by avoiding plastic where possible, but it sucks that most food is ONLY available in plastic.
Try going to local farmers markets! If you have Natural Grocer near you, that may help as well.
@@ocdplaylistmaker7032 I would love to do those, but it's not an option near me. As soon as I can afford to move somewhere better that lets me do it, I will.
if your in a city you basically just have to have plastic ingested unless you buy canned food which doesn't involve seed oils like tuna these days they soak it in seed oils. Even cans have a plastic coating for drinks.
When I lived out in the country I was horrified to discover a lot of the fruit and vegetables that are normally delivered to grocery stores in the city in crates and boxes were all individually or in pairs wrapped in plastic. I think the reasoning was volume, they sold way less fresh vegetables because the locals couldn't afford them, and the displays for vegetables were way shallower.
This was in a part of Texas where you could grow your own veggies in a garden if you had the time and energy, but only if you owned the land you lived on to be allowed to, and the poor people don't. I constantly hear richer people that own their own house saying to just grow your own veggies, but you can't really in a trailer park. It's not your dirt, no matter how much you pay for it. There isn't enough water/government subsidies for veggies to be locally grown commercially, just cattle/cotton/corn/soy, so they were all shipped from the other end of a large state.
I'm glad non-Establishment Conservatives, Nationalists, and Republicans are in alignment on this issue and some others.
Keep covering these issues. Just make sure you do it well.
A while back, one of Formosa's plants actually released pollutant chemicals into the sea, basically where it was stationed in Taiwan. It didn't make big news, but the chemicals were released into the ocean, and many of the beaches had dead fish wash up onto Vietnam's shores. There is a video of this on UA-cam, where I watched it originally. It will not be in english. My mom paid attention to it mainly because she had family in Vietnam still. She called them up and told them not to eat the dead fish washing up shore, as it was probably really dangerous. I'm sure there were some people who still ate and sold the fish sadly. Formosa denies these allegations, and small countries really can't do anything about it.

The fact that there is already an excessive amount of demand awaiting its absorption, despite how everyone is frightened and calling the crash, is another reason why it is less likely to occur that way. 2008 saw no one, at least not the broad public, making this forecast, as I'll explain below.

Between 2008 and 2012, it dropped by 3%, and by the second quarter of 2020, it had dropped from 68 to 65.

I work at a poultry plant and the cutting boards that we use to cut almost every piece of breast meat is plastic and although they will get new ones when needed, the old ones take quite a lot of abuse and a lot of scratch marks are made everyday hundreds of thousands and thousands at a time It's just one location. The stuff goes way deeper than I think the average consumer realizes. It's just like all of your aluminum cans of soda typically have a plastic liner so it's not completely aluminum and you're drinking plastic even when you're drinking out of aluminum
im surprised they wouldn't use wood as its antibacterial
I'm not shocked.
@@timothysatyr6674 capitalism is why lol... Plastic is far cheaper to make and replace if we had to use wooden cutting boards depending on the quality and the sealant used would determine the abuse it can withstand and the downside would be when they do need to be resurfaced you'll have to take them up completely and sand them down which will take quite a bit of time and money which could be spent on other things. And if they can save a penny anywhere, they will because capitalism
The real question is, in this specific case, what's the alternative? Realize that you have to balance hygenic concerns, cost, etc etc. The only alternative to plastic would be wood, and we all know that's not going to be anywhere near as hygenic on an industrial scale. They also won't last as long, and will ultimately be distributing wood debris into food en lieu of plastic debris.
