Modern life would be impossible without plastic – but we have long since lost control over our invention. Why has plastic turned into a problem and what do we know about its dangers? This video is a collaboration with UN Environment and their Clean Seas campaign, If you want to take action to turn the tide on plastics, go to http://www.cleanseas.org and make your pledge. We also partnered with askscience on reddit – on https://bit.ly/2tVU68d you can talk to experts and ask questions about about plastic pollution today!

PLEASE READ: Hey! To explain myself a little bit clearer, what I meant in the disclaimer part of this video was that there are people who can chose to have a minimalistic wardrobe, reuse rags and other items, shop at thrift stores, etc, for the purposes of being eco-friendly. People of lower socioeconomic status sometimes do these things, not because they want to but because they have to. Zero waste founders don't really acknowledge this and tend to preach these ideals as though it's their own discoveries, even though it's not. Also, I often see people who live a zero waste lifestyle talking about swaps like they're easy, and, though unintentional, look over the fact that there are people that often don't have access to places like farmers markets, health food stores, etc, or may not have the time or funds to have a zero waste lifestyle. That is why it's important to simply do what you can. Hope you all can catch my drift! *back to original programming* Hey everyone! Just wanted to quickly reiterate that this video is not intended to shame anyone for not living this way. I understand that this isn't for everyone, but for those of you looking to reduce your environmental footprint, I hope this video inspired you to maybe make a few changes in your life! Watch to the end of the video for the full disclaimer :) Love you all, thank you so much for watching!! - Erika🌎💕 💕INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/erikaannaxo https://www.instagram.com/elanakane 💕TWITTER https://www.twitter.com/erikaannaxo https://www.twitter.com/elanakane 💕SNAPCHAT @erikaannaxo @elanakane 💕TUMBLR https://erikaannaxo.tumblr.com https://elanakane.tumblr.com 💕Music - Teddy Slick - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRt0...
