We're told that plastic is recycled - but when items of plastic waste sent for "recycling" by the UK's biggest supermarket were electronically tracked, disturbing truths were revealed.
WE NEED MORE LIKE HIM!
TB-5075B
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.
NO STOPPING OF SINGLE USE?
BP-5124C
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.
HOW BACKWARD ARE WE?
SC-3365A
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.
PEOPLE CAN END THIS MADNESS
BW-2226A
Corporations and gov'ts have not solved this problem - seas of plastic waste and people scratching an existence by sorting it. Isn't time for people to step up and take-over? It's our planet after all - isn't it?
WE CAN'T RECYCLE OUR WAY OUT OF THIS!
DD-2444B
A great deal of the plastic that ends up in the ocean is produced by huge corporations - the same ones that heavily promote "plastic recycling" - even though it's not a solution. We need a different system!
WE CAN ALL REDUCE QUICKLY
AN-5135D
Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall asks what we can all do to reduce plastic pollution. Putting pressure on gov't and corporations is the key!
SEA POLLUTION IS SCARY!
BP-5105B
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!
AND… HOW DOES IT GET THERE?
BP-3105A
There are enormous islands in the oceans formed from plastic waste. You might wonder how it gets there? Shipping, yes - dumping by recipients of other nations' waste - probably! So what do we do?
GLOBAL AG IS THREATENED
OP-5121A
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?
IS IT NOW PEOPLE TAKE OVER?
BW-2282A
The state has had long enough to correct this problem and hasn't. Is it time for the People to step up and arrest control of such issues - since the gov't has failed - is it time for People to take responsibility?
IF WE ALL SWEPT OUR OWN
BW-2204A
This man is on a mission to clear the plastic pollution from beaches. What if we joined him in a People Power campaign to rid ourselves of this plague - once and for all - starting with the causes of this pollution?
AT LAST - A USE FOR PLASTIC WASTE
BW-3014B
Exciting and novel ideas come from people - not gov'ts. If the people were in charge of the planet - not gov'ts - the world would change in an instant! People have not been allowed to take the lead before.
IT IS OUR PLASTIC PROBLEM?
BP-3116A
In a survey of 23k, 80% favoured a ban on plastics which can't be easily recycled. Is this a subject for the People Movement - will the People dictating policy rather than those who've failed to deal with this?
