Plastic Planet

After having thought and read much about the protection of the environment and the various organizations to save our planet, I remembered a movie I've watched in High School about these topics. The movie is called Plastic Planet and it's a documentary about the issues we have with plastic.

Plastic definitely has become a part of our daily lives. It surrounds us. The plastic industries make 800 billion euros pro year. Did you know that the amount of plastic that is produced since the beginning of the plastic age is enough to wrap the entire planet in plastic bags six times over? Did you know that a piece of plastic takes up to 500 years to deteriorate in the ground ou water system? 
The movie represents a different and personal view of Werner Boote who takes us in an overwhelming and shocking world, full of facts about the controversial and fascinating material. It is a journey around the world in order to explore whether this curious material is a danger to human health. In addition to that studies indicate that this material could lead to a variety of health problems in humans. In 14 countries he speaks about the danger of continued reliance on plastic, as well as alternatives that could help us to live in a cleaner world, and a healthier population.

I found an online site where you can watch the movie for free :)
