There's a boom happening - and set to explode over coming years - in the production of single use plastic. We're being told about this - the gov't is told about this. But the gov't are not on course to stop this.

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall asks what we can all do to reduce plastic pollution. Putting pressure on gov't and corporations is the key!

The truth is - politicians around the world have allowed us to get to this position. If one asked the ordinary Joe on the street about their assessment you can guess their answer. Will People Power solve this?

The level of pollution in the sea has reached a scary level. It's only when you see stories like this one - and those in the documentary "A Plastic Ocean" that we become aware. The People could change this!

Some things are glaringly obvious to thinking people - including ones as young as six – but not it seems to politicians. Some of these glaringly obvious things are potentially dangerous - and even life-threatening.

A Grown-Up Intelligent Society - GUIS - would never dream of produced things without the recycling of those things being in place. Our society is not GUIS - but people could make this change happen.
