Imagine - you get up in the morning, brushing, teeth and get ready to go to work. Grab your cup of trips that head out the office door. The day is long, so you eat for lunch, order from this place down the street. After the day and head home, he took some shots off, because your efforts to cook after a long day, really low. Come home, sit down to watch TV with dinner and, finally, wash your face and go to bed.
This day may seem harmless,typical of many people out there in the world of work. How could a day like this, which is known as refuse help Iceland? Or, more importantly, what is junk Iceland? VBS.tv team wanted to discover and share their discoveries with the world.
Iceland is a garbage vortex flow (the so-called North Pacific Gyre,) of about 1,000 miles off the California coast, where plastics collected in all shapes and sizes to be buoyant. Since plastic is not biodegradable, butinstead disintegrates into smaller particles, the sea is the perfect retreat for a large portion of these deposits. The crew of this mission discovered everything from birthday balloons, helmets, tires, but the scariest thing of all was the volume, the ratio of plastic marine life in some areas was above 1000:1. Yikes. So where does all this and how it came to the end in the Pacific?
Back to the day when the average person again instead of vague and so, we detailsome of the places in this story, where plastic could be used.
You get up in the morning and press the button to turn the alarm clock beside the bed of plastic. Brush your teeth with a toothbrush made of plastic. Women applying make-up (housed in plastic containers, brushes with plastic handles) (both wrapped in plastic with an electric razor or disposable razor plastic), the men before shaving. You grab your cup isolated road with a plastic cover to jump in the car (I can not evento find out how many plastic parts are used in a machine) and head into the office. Use your plastic card to enter the building, sitting in your office chair plastic base, turn on the computer-based plastic and work until lunch. A soup and salad lunch in the food along the way, each stored in a plastic container. Go home and stop to pull (polystyrene [plastic] containers of course) and turn the plastic-based television while eating. After an eveningScrolling through the channels with the plastic-based Remote-Wash your face with stuff like that in the plastic tube, and finally go to bed.
At the lowest level this person fifteen-based plastic products used in a day. Given that our society has become a disposable mentality all these elements are designed to bring faster, eliminating the need to recover and dispose of the old location. Many times these are garbage from a ship, but more because it comes directly from the country. This ispossible even if we do not notice it happening - the next time you see a plastic bag floating in the wind, how far the wind could blow before it stops, if you think a bottle of boos in a gutter after a heavy downpour , think about where the road ends in water.
A series of quotations from the video was particularly striking:
"Persistent organic pollutants are chemicals that persist in the environment, bioaccumulate through the food chain, and setRisk of adverse effects on human health and the environment. "
- United Nations Environment Programme
Bioaccumulation is when the collection of materials harmful compounds (toxins), as in various tissues of living organisms. In this example, the body would be the marine life of course, but the chain of ingestion of toxic chemicals is increasing as birds, fish eat fish that eat other fish and humans eat the fish. Contaminates are introduced into our daily food supply and are seriously affectingsustainable quality of life of entire species on this planet (an example is when a bird goes out to eat and return to their young, feed the end boys with a stomach full of plastic for the essential nutrients they need, refused to survive and as lost income).
What can we do? We physically clean up all the pieces are already there? Unlikely. We make an attempt to stop more in the sea? Absolutely!
The most important thing we can do with allnon-biodegradable plastics currently available to prolong their life. If we act as consumers, we need to think about the lifecycle of the product in question - how long we want to use the element of what we do with the element at the end of his life? If you throw away, we should conscientiously as we do - the recycling of plastic and throw it in the trash, there is a way to reuse, we can uptrend article into something functional that may take a long timeInitial for life?
Opening his eyes on the problem and reduce our dependence on disposable plastic products is the first step in solving the problem and the video is a real eye opener VBS.tv along great.

It is worth to let us by observing and learning.
