David Attenborough says the world must act now on plastic after witnessing its impacts filming Blue Planet II
"We’ve seen albatrosses come back with their belly full of food for their young. You think it’s going to be squid, but it’s plastic".
“We may think we live a long way from the oceans but we don’t. What we actually do here ... has a direct effect on the oceans and what the oceans do then reflects back on us".
“It is one world. And it’s in our care. For the first time in the history of humanity, for the first time in 500 million years, one species has the future in the palm of its hands. I just hope he realizes that that is the case”.
"Almost 80 percent of the 8.3 billion metric tonnes of plastic produced over the past 70 years has been discarded into landfill or the environment, including the ocean".
"The plastic is thrown away since the 1950s will eventually form a layer sedimentary rock detectable by future generations".
"Tap-water samples from more than a dozen nations were recently analyzed for an investigation by Orb Media. Plastic fibers were found in more than 83 percent of the samples, meaning billions of people are drinking water contaminated with plastic particles".
"It is not yet known how the human body processes plastic after it is swallowed, including whether chemicals leach out of the plastic into the body and cause inflammation, or whether body tissue just seals over plastic".
"Blue Planet II returns to the oceans 16 years after the first series, The Blue Planet, was broadcast.
Its production team had noticed changes such as plastic in the ocean over years of making underwater films, said it's executive producer James Honeyborne".
"Greenpeace praised Sir David for speaking out. It called on the Government to introduce “deposit-return schemes”, whereby consumers receive a small deposit back when they return plastic packaging such as bottles for recycling".
“The good news is that there are things we could do right now to stop this plastic scourge,” said Greenpeace spokesperson Louise Edge.
Ms. Edge also called on companies to set a date for reducing the number of single-use bottles they produced and asked consumers to use less plastic".
