Mike you are a national treasure. The UA-cam channel makes us feel even closer to you. Its obvious you see the troubles our beloved country is heading to and want to save it. #MIKE ROWE FOR PRESIDENT 2024
This should be shown in elementary, middle school, high school and college. Their should be class about how bad the plastic garbage is affecting our oceans, seas and environment in general. Replace CRT classes with environmental classes based on truth and data.
Unfortunately, it'll never happen. Why? Because nobody actually gives a shit. At least, nobody that has power anyway. It takes people like this woman to actually do anything. And NOBODY like her exists in positions of power. We, are killing ourselves, it's just a matter of time at this rate. Enjoy life while you have it, experience nature while it's still there. The future can only be bright, if something changes, and in reality, nothing ever changes until it's too late, or damn near it.
The way those nurdles "find their way" into the ocean, is not only via consumer irresponsability, but also by corporate negligence. We should hold corporations accountable for the massive amounts of waste they dump into our rivers, streams, and waterways.
Corporations don't have anything to do with this problem. The oceans trash comes from China and India along with other countries that do not have a waste management system in place. Have you seen the mountains of garbage in the rivers of third world countries? All that makes its way downstream and right into the ocean.
Nice, Love the support for cleaning & protecting wildlife while creating art that focuses on wildlife & making people smile while making the world a better place. Keep this type content coming Mike, everyone contributing & crew...
GO ANGELA! You are the WOMAN to lead the new generation, and some of the older ones too…to the new clean ocean reality! Thank you for coming up with these new, horribly, and wonderful grotesque symbols of how to save the world ! I applaud you and your helpers. I wish we had such people and centres in Australia 🇦🇺 to do just what you are doing. We certainly have the trashed up beaches, that’s for sure. And thank you Mike Rowe and crew for sharing this marvellous story with your fans all over the world. ❤️🦘🇦🇺
Beautiful piece from trash to treasure and educational. Not to mention the truth about people behind this idea from the founder down to each volunteer. Recycle. Resilient. Focused. Fantastic.
I can't imagine that I would do something so inspirational if I lost my husband. It has nearly happened several times and I have lifted him up each time, so I could hope.
God Bless this beautiful soul she is the kind of teacher that this world could use more of. The impact of the art work that she and her volunteer force are making far exceeds that of anyone who uses a brush. Thanks Mike for sharing this treasure with us.
The many sad things humans don't understand is our food chain… ie:fish, and meat are now also consuming plastic particles, then we consume them. And Then we get catastrophic illnesses. I recently read medical articles that stated we are now finding microscopic pieces of plastic in the Human Brain… We really need to stop All plastic production. Let's get back to my grandparents era… food was all grown and things came in bags made of cotton products, (bags) or tin cans and glass jars. It worked for our ancestors. IT SHOULD WORK FOR US!
Thank you ! Wonderful awareness video! As a 5th grader (1962) in Scottsdale AZ we learned an anti-litterbug song & went to a Phx TV station to film it. What a wonderful way to incorporate a message & have a great memory to back it up. I need to stop buying plastics now.
What a fantastic lady and followers! I can't find the appropriate words, but kudos to all involved and thank you for showcasing her cause and all their talents!
The UGLY TRUTH is that we put out our full recycle bins only to find out that that the company is not recycling what is in the bin or that it it being transported in an irresponsible way. These companies need to be prosecuted
Thanks Mike. Before mom died, we went on a whale watch with the whale wars crew. Incredible not just what was floating but also just there on the rocks on shore. The plastic epidemic is worse than opiates because it affects all walks of life, not just ours. Keep up your amazing work of awareness.
My mother was born in Bandon, close to a century ago. I've never been there. Nice to see this and get an idea of the town she came from. And I do love this lady's art!
Actually the environmentalists who are most vocal about plastic pollution are the people causing it. The most efficient and direct way to dispose of all plastics, paper, cardboard, newspapers, etc. is to burn it in high-temperature incinerators that then use the heat to produce electricity. It is done in my town in Massachusetts and Sweden is the world leader in this technology. This process would eliminate most of the plastic waste that ends up in the environment while producing the most valuable energy resource of all - electricity. But environmentalists are vehemently opposed to trash-to-energy plants and so we have more and more trash in our environment.
That's a bandaid fix for a larger problem...everything is packaged in plastic. Go look at your garbage at the end of the week. It's all plastic packaging.
1) "Education" and "Raising Awareness", or the lack thereof, is not the solution or the cause of littering. All of that stuff was was carelessly discarded by people who were educated, aware and knew what they were doing, but didn't care. 2) 100% of the piles of stuff floating in the Pacific would not change 1 bit if 100% of the people in the USA were caring and diligent in how they dispose of things and did not litter. That's because all of that came from other countries and cultures. They also know better, but simply don't care either.
Mike needs to come to Bali if he wants all the garbage he can handle... it's everywhere, all the time, land and sea, creeks, rivers, streams & roads... and now it's burning in a 5 day ongoing fire in Benoa because it was 'accidentally' started... BS, this is how Gov't Community leaders brainstorm an idea into action and then ask for more assistance when it gets out of control, people start complaining and have half the island is choking on toxic fumes the Gov't paid someone to start
I also found art during a dark time in my life. Thanks to Angela and all the other bloody do gooders here in the PNW who turn tragedy into art and art into activism. 🌲🐿🍄
If the world was only filled with more people like her n you mike. Doesn't matter where I go whether it's to the beach,trail or a walk thru town theres trash,it does make me sick.
If only every person stopped buying so much plastic and started picking it up from beaches, waterways and our environment, imagine how many creatures, humans included, we could prevent from ingesting this abomination of the industrialised age. A sad but wonderful teaching tool that needs to be seen by all, if for no other reason, than to motivate.
The company's that produce the plastic products are the ones that need to change. Consumers can stop buying, but they can't change what companies produce in the first place.
Mr Rowe , you should check out the Frying Pan Tower off the cost of NC , Richard has been working on it for years, trying to keep it from rusting away.
Seriously!!! How is this allowed to go on!?! Thanks Mike and Angela foe for educating us!! Knowing is power!
Love this episode 😍, thank you to all those volunteers that help.
Mike you are a national treasure. The UA-cam channel makes us feel even closer to you. Its obvious you see the troubles our beloved country is heading to and want to save it.

YES!!
No, make congress watch this on a loop until they get it.
It is an infinitesimal number of people who have ever had a CRT class. This needs to be taught on a much grander scale than that.
Unfortunately, it'll never happen.
Why?
Because nobody actually gives a shit.
At least, nobody that has power anyway.
It takes people like this woman to actually do anything.
And NOBODY like her exists in positions of power.

Yes. Let’s make garbage into larger garbage
"Disgustingly ugly"
transforms into
something beautiful,
yet leaves my heart
filled with sadness
My family visited this place a few years ago. We saw the art, visited the gallery, and came away inspired to do our part.
Thank you for sharing
The world needs more people like her!!!!!
Good for her! Many years ago my 4H club made pictures from beach trash. One got a grand champion!

The USA is a Third World country and YES, I've seen rivers of waste there. @@glenjamindle
She is an inspiration!!!
Now she is a true hero to the environment!!!
This is amazing! I am so happy that Mike is covering people this passionate on saving oceans. Mike you are awesome and so entertaining.
She should be consulting with every aquarium in the United States to bring these displays to the masses 😮
We collect up other peoples trash shame the things that people throw away. I commend this women what a joy to see something like this ❤❤❤
Idk whether to cry seeing all that garbage or cheer that there is a beautiful person on this earth making things of beauty out of our trash ❤❤❤
Stop crying and make art. As my late grandfather would say, "Do something, you'll feel better." I'm gonna give it a try, it's why I'm watching.
Well said. ❤
Mike I’ve been a big fan ever since Dirty Jobs. However this show you do now is much better than Dirty Jobs, keep up the great work!!
This series ended back in 2018
This show has been over for awhile, he's back doing Dirty Jobs lol
@@verakoo6187😂😂😂
Bless you for trying to help save the environment
Thank you for bringing attention to this horrific problem. God bless you Angela for everything you do. ❤
Thanks Mike!

I couldn't ❤️ this more...❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful yet horrifying..,
Angela, what a wonderful lady, along with her supporters.
Seriously! U 2 can turn trash into treasure!!
How her face lit up when you were talking about how on point she was. Keep up the good fight!
Finally, some doing something we can relate to.❤
Yet another story about brilliant people doing magical things. Thank you, Mike!
Mike, she is remarkable... good stuff!
This is inspiring. Only a couple hours from me and I had no idea.
I can't imagine that I would do something so inspirational if I lost my husband. It has nearly happened several times and I have lifted him up each time, so I could hope.
Holy Sh*t!! A very amazing woman. What she does with trash is incredible. She definitely has a vision and a wonderful talent.
What I found amazing is that she can turn all this trash into this incredible art and I can screw up a stick figure.
loved the talk with the boy. Its a showing moment of the show. Well done editors.
Kudos Mike and Crew!
More people should do this. How beautiful and creative. ❤❤❤

Thanks Guys
I had the chance to view the art at the Wichita Botanical Gardens... they are a wonderful thing to experience...
Whoo-hoo! So love this one!
Thank you ! Wonderful awareness video! As a 5th grader (1962) in Scottsdale AZ we learned an anti-litterbug song & went to a Phx TV station to film it. What a wonderful way to incorporate a message & have a great memory to back it up. I need to stop buying plastics now.
this is amazing
Such a great idea. I really should do something similar. I can do art with the trash in my area. Gotta devise a plan. A good plan at that.
What we dump in our oceans concerns me much more then climate change! Thanks for what you are doing!❤
It contributes to climate change
This truly is fantastic
What a fantastic lady and followers! I can't find the appropriate words, but kudos to all involved and thank you for showcasing her cause and all their talents!
Incredible
Wow,That's An Incredible Lady.
I've been to Bandon many times, why have I never seen this place before??
She's amazing!!
Thank you ❤
Such talent and eye, to see the art in all that trash. Good for her team.
Thank you for your effort and insight to educate us on the problem you are very special .
Hey Mike, well done!
That was the best video!
The UGLY TRUTH is that we put out our full recycle bins only to find out that that the company is not recycling what is in the bin or that it it being transported in an irresponsible way. These companies need to be prosecuted
Well that's pretty 😍 neat 🥰. Very different 🎨 art. How cool is that. Thanks 👍 for sharing.
Rocked it
Another home run Mike, thanks!

Shining light on this is very needed.
Keep the "verticality" going y'all ♥️✌️♥️

Yepp we are trashing this Planet 🌎! Gawd help us all!
Apparently Chinese factories dump their scraps in the ocean and we keep buy their products.
1) "Education" and "Raising Awareness", or the lack thereof, is not the solution or the cause of littering. All of that stuff was was carelessly discarded by people who were educated, aware and knew what they were doing, but didn't care. 2) 100% of the piles of stuff floating in the Pacific would not change 1 bit if 100% of the people in the USA were caring and diligent in how they dispose of things and did not litter. That's because all of that came from other countries and cultures. They also know better, but simply don't care either.
Most of the trash that washes up on our beaches is not from us. China and India are causing these massive ocean trash islands.
Wonderfulness ❣️👍
Mike needs to come to Bali if he wants all the garbage he can handle... it's everywhere, all the time, land and sea, creeks, rivers, streams & roads... and now it's burning in a 5 day ongoing fire in Benoa because it was 'accidentally' started...

It'd be nice if we picked up the garbage that's all over the ground around us too
This one was pretty good Mike. Nicely done
I love all your stuff. Peace in a all we need
😓😓🤗🥰🥰🤣 Inspiring. Great lady. Keep it up Mike!
They have actually got a programme in work now that is collecting the plastics from the sea. The program is being carried out by ocean cleanup
As an entrepreneur environmental teacher……Angela has great ideas😊
That was Amazing😢❤❤❤
Finally, GOOD NEWS 😊
I loved this!❤
Great work!
Fantastic
Some put a message in a bottle. Angela puts a bottle in a message.
I made a workbench with wood that I found washed up on the beach down by Galveston. It is a very awesome looking workbench!!!
Bonjour from Montréal 😎 Woow Bravo 👍
If the world was only filled with more people like her n you mike. Doesn't matter where I go whether it's to the beach,trail or a walk thru town theres trash,it does make me sick.
We need to start using plastic for fuel like the Danish and Norwegians do.
There is almost the same amount of energy in plastic as there is in oil.
Ya, and how filthy Portland is too!
I love everything about this, made my night :)
If only every person stopped buying so much plastic and started picking it up from beaches, waterways and our environment, imagine how many creatures, humans included, we could prevent from ingesting this abomination of the industrialised age. A sad but wonderful teaching tool that needs to be seen by all, if for no other reason, than to motivate.
Yay! He’s close to me!!!
The company's that produce the plastic products are the ones that need to change. Consumers can stop buying, but they can't change what companies produce in the first place.
What a great sad to happy ending to this story❤✌🙏
Do bad our law enforcement officers don’t arrest litter bugs. Our roads here in the Texas Country is pitiful.
If she learned how to recycle her own plastic, I’m sure she could make works of art that would be even more astounding
Vary cool
Mr Rowe , you should check out the Frying Pan Tower off the cost of NC , Richard has been working on it for years, trying to keep it from rusting away.
That is very beautiful
Yay for angelia your awesome thank you
What a lovely lady! Her husbands misdiagnosis is very sad
it's not art, it's the tragedy, of the modern world, and the millions of people, that have greed, and don't give a crap..
❤
