NETFLIX’S SEASPIRACY: 46% OF PLASTIC IN ONE PACIFIC OCEAN AREA IS FISHING NETS
"46% of the the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (aka GPGP) is discarded fishing nets, which are far more dangerous for marine life than our plastic straws," reveals environmentalist George Monbiot, as he tells us the other side of the truth in Netflix's Seaspiracy film. He maintains that if current fishing trends continue, we will see virtually empty oceans by the year 2048.
FISHING NETS ARE REALLY DANGEROUS
The 2018 study "Evidence that the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is rapidly accumulating plastic" claims that "fishing gear is mostly ‘thick'" meaning that ‘this trash fragments much more slowly and is also very buoyant; a prime candidate to hang around in the GPGP." Other "thin" plastic, such as bags and straws, tends to disintegrate and sink to the sea bed.
PLASTIC STRAWS ONLY ACCOUNT FOR 0.03% OF OCEAN PLASTIC
Ali Tabrizi, the 27-year-old director of Seaspiracy, says that a global campaign to ban the use of plastic straws "was like trying to save the Amazon rainforest and stop logging by boycotting toothpicks." Plastic straws only account for 0.03% of ocean plastic. The statistic is sourced to two studies highlighted in the film, one by Jenna Jambeck, at the University of Georgia, and another by two Australian scientists Denise Hardesty and Chris Wilcox. When we speak about plastics we must pay attention to the truth.
