00:00I asked you in the last session to summarize your relationship with her in one word.
00:07Did you know how to do that?
00:11Doctor, it was very difficult to find one word to describe our relationship.
00:15But if there is a word, it will be that it was a plastic relationship.
00:20You mean that it was cheap?
00:22No, not cheap.
00:25But you can say that it was easy to break.
00:28But be careful that plastic is not easy to break.
00:31It is not hard to break, but it is very delicate.
00:34I mean that it was weak.
00:37It can't withstand pressure.
00:38But Mahmoud, plastic can withstand pressure.
00:41Doctor, you don't understand what I mean.
00:43It is a plastic relationship.
00:45It dissolves quickly.
00:47On the contrary, Saeed.
00:49The problem with plastic is that it dissolves quickly.
00:52I don't mean the real plastic.
00:54I mean a plastic relationship.
00:57It is cold.
00:58There is no heat.
01:00If you say that plastic can withstand heat, I swear to God that I will throw myself in the window.
01:04I say that it is a linguistic relationship.
01:06My problem is much bigger than the problem of plastic.
01:08Honestly, plastic is very harmful to the environment and destroys the planet.
01:13It is impossible that your problem is bigger than the problem of plastic.
01:15I don't understand.
01:16You are a psychologist and you are cold.
01:18I am not cold.
01:20I am flexible.
01:21Yes, really.
01:22You are flexible.
01:24You are flexible because you are cold.
01:26And anything that you form
01:28acts like...
01:32I don't know how to describe you.
01:36I am telling you.
01:37Your problem is bigger than the problem of plastic.
01:40I don't want to hear you say more than that.
01:41Do you believe me?
01:42I don't trust you.
01:43My mental health is like iron.
01:45Nothing happens to me.
01:52Welcome to the new episode of the program, The Victim.
01:55Dear viewers, let me take you by the hand and we go back to 1997.
01:58During Captain Charles Moore's return from Honolulu to California.
02:01After participating in the sailing races here.
02:03In fact, Captain Charles tried to take a shortcut to shorten his two-lane road.
02:07He took the shortcut by passing through a part of a deserted area in the desert.
02:11This road was abandoned by fishermen because there was no food for the fish.
02:14Therefore, while they were on this long journey,
02:16Captain Charles decided to take a shortcut.
02:18Therefore, while they were on this long journey,
02:20Captain Charles decided to take a shortcut.
02:22Therefore, while they were on this long journey,
02:24Captain Charles decided to take a shortcut.
02:26Therefore, while they were on this long journey,
02:28Captain Charles decided to take a shortcut.
02:30Therefore, while they were on this long journey,
02:32Captain Charles decided to take a shortcut.
02:34Therefore, while they were on this long journey,
02:36Captain Charles decided to take a shortcut.
02:38Therefore, while they were on this long journey,
02:40Captain Charles decided to take a shortcut.
02:42Therefore, while they were on this long journey,
02:44Captain Charles decided to take a shortcut.
02:46Charles Moore said that he searched for a whole week in the sea.
02:49Every time he looked at the water, he saw plastic everywhere.
02:51Every time he looked at the water, he saw plastic everywhere.
02:53It was as if he was drowning in a plastic soup.
02:55Moore will tell what he saw to a man named Curtis Ipsmire.
02:57Moore will tell what he saw to a man named Curtis Ipsmire.
02:59He was one of the most famous oceanographers,
03:01He was one of the most famous oceanographers,
03:03and he specialized in water-covered walls.
03:05and he specialized in water-covered walls.
03:07and he specialized in water-covered walls.
03:09and he specialized in water-covered walls.
03:11The Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
03:13The Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
03:15The Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
03:17is twice the size of Texas.
03:19is twice the size of Texas.
03:21This makes it the largest recycled plastic in the oceans.
03:23But not the only one,
03:25We have another four Family Relations Patch,
03:27which are used both here and in The Atlantic Ocean.
03:29One in the Indian Ocean.
03:31Remind us the plastic bottles floating above the water,
03:33Remind us the plastic bottles floating above the water,
03:35don't pile up in the WC.
03:37Don't pile up in the WC.
03:39which arise everywhere in the world.
03:41This invention is here today.
03:43that we have succeeded in covering the water surfaces with plastic
03:46There is no water surface that is not covered with plastic
03:48Apparently, listen to what I'm about to say
03:50We are going deeper
03:51in regards to the word waste
03:52which is the second name for plastic
03:54Excuse me, Abu Ahmed, I have a small question
03:56regarding what you are saying
03:57You, Abu Ahmed, are saying that the accumulated plastic
03:59from the first invention until today
04:01Excuse me, but isn't this plastic
04:02that is decomposing?
04:03Isn't everything in this world
04:04decaying and it's time to go?
04:05I swear to God, if this was the case
04:06no one would have won
04:07No one would be happy with a piece of cardboard
04:09Let me surprise you and tell you that plastic
04:10is a substance that has a special flavor
04:12that makes it accumulate for decades
04:13and sometimes for centuries
04:15without dissolving
04:16even if it was in the oceans
04:17And this is because of a very simple science
04:19The chemical bond between the carbon atoms
04:21that are present in the plastic particles
04:22is very hard to break
04:24especially in normal natural processes
04:26Also, let me tell you that many types of plastic
04:28are not made from substances
04:29that are naturally present in the environment
04:31So it's not easy to find microbes
04:32or natural enzymes
04:33that are able to dissolve them efficiently
04:35And in deep water, like the oceans for example
04:37the process of dissolving itself
04:38is much slower
04:39We have to be careful
04:40because under deep water
04:41we don't have light or oxygen
04:43which is of course necessary
04:45in the process of dissolving
04:46That's why plastic can take
04:4720 to 500 years
04:49to completely dissolve
04:51Abu Ahmed, when I was a kid
04:51I was the only one who knew
04:52that those who can't tolerate acid
04:53don't eat garlic
04:54and that those who can tolerate the jinn
04:55but can't tolerate harm
04:56don't prepare for it
04:57So when it's a sticky substance
04:58like aphrodisiac
04:59why would a person commit suicide
05:00in its original invention?
05:01Life is like when you took
05:03a piece of paper from your hand
05:03until the year 1997
05:04and you were cheating
05:04Sorry Abu Ahmed
05:05I loved 1997
05:06It's not like that
05:07It's not a group
05:08It's normal
05:08It's a sky
05:09Because the story of plastic
05:10started very early
05:11I started the story for you
05:12only when you throw it in the water
05:13But
05:13Plastic has other faces
05:15that we don't know anything about
05:17The story of our suffering
05:18will start with plastic
05:19as a good hero
05:19He's not evil
05:20nor is he a curse
05:21nor is he asked by the world
05:22to get rid of him
05:23Plastic was a magical substance
05:25that solved problems
05:25that you couldn't imagine
05:26And the first of them
05:27were environmental problems
05:28Yes
05:29He's the one who solves
05:29environmental problems
05:31My dear
05:31Then
05:32Don't they say he's a genius?
05:33A genius
05:33I'll get you a wheel
05:34Don't take it from the devil
05:35If I asked you about the characteristics
05:36of a substance
05:36that you can make anything with
05:38Imagine
05:38You'll need materials
05:39that are magical
05:40For example
05:40You'll need
05:41a solid material
05:42that you can live with for a long time
05:43A solid material
05:44but not too hard
05:45and flexible
05:45but not too soft
05:46You can shape it
05:47as you want
05:48In the past
05:49the materials that were closest to this
05:50were called
05:51natural polymers
05:52Polymers are
05:53huge molecules
05:54Each of them
05:55consists of repeated units
05:56called monomers
05:57So polymers
05:58are called monomers
05:59Oh, Abu Hamid
06:00You brought me back to the organic chemistry
06:01He used to tell you
06:02that he extracted 96% of sodium chloride
06:05It doesn't even exist in nature
06:06Oh, my dear
06:07Please calm down
06:07Let's get back to polymers
06:08Focus with me
06:09and we'll get to the point
06:10Polymers
06:11are found
06:11naturally
06:12everywhere
06:13The DNA
06:13in our bodies
06:14are all
06:15natural polymers
06:15The yeast, for example
06:16is a natural polymer
06:17Proteins and sugars
06:18are natural polymers
06:19And as I told you
06:20since the beginning of history
06:21when a person looked for a material
06:22that is easy to shape
06:23and flexible
06:24and solid at the same time
06:25he relied on natural polymers
06:26to make tools
06:27Like
06:28the bones of animals
06:29and the yeast
06:29and the shell
06:30and the wood
06:31and the rubber
06:31God bless you, Abu Hamid
06:32We have natural polymers
06:33to play with
06:34The problem, my dear
06:35is that a lot of natural polymers
06:37are seasonal
06:37or rarely exist
06:38Also
06:39Polymers sometimes
06:40need to be processed
06:40for a long time
06:41so that they can benefit from it
06:42Did you notice, my dear
06:43that humans
06:44are easy to attack?
06:44Also
06:45Polymers
06:45in many cases
06:46can be broken
06:48damaged
06:48and eaten
06:49Despite
06:49all these flaws
06:50the human consumption
06:51of natural polymers
06:52was running the world
06:53like a knife in the sweets
06:54Until now
06:56my dear
06:57Oh, Abu Hamid
06:57The Industrial Revolution
06:58At the end of the 19th century
07:00and the beginning of the 20th century
07:02the era of mass production began
07:03Mass production
07:04Our society
07:04demanded more and more
07:06of the polymers
07:07that are used in industry
07:08At that time, my dear
07:09we still had a middle class
07:10and a new generation
07:11They tried to imitate the upper classes
07:12and build a higher class
07:13than the poor classes
07:14to make sure
07:15of what's in it
07:16and what's below it
07:17That's when
07:17the habits
07:18and the production methods
07:19emerged
07:20They needed
07:20a lot of polymers
07:21Polymers like
07:22copper
07:23electricity
07:23and so on
07:24Most of these polymers
07:25came from colonization
07:26And that's because
07:27colonization at that time
07:28was at the peak of its prosperity
07:29My dear
07:29in the high season
07:30any empire
07:31that wants anything from the world
07:32sees any poor country
07:33and colonizes it
07:33for 4 days and 3 nights
07:34It returns with all the resources it needs
07:36There's a book
07:36The Plastic on the Table
07:38It says, Silvio Grieco
07:39that the first revolutions
07:40for the original colonizers
07:41were mostly
07:42against the plundering of the colonizers
07:43of raw materials
07:44like polymers
07:45and forest wood
07:46That's not killing the elephant
07:47for the plow
07:48The plow
07:48was used by the first human
07:50to make
07:51a lot of exporting goods
07:52like women's adornments
07:54and the piano
07:54and my dear uncle
07:55to me
07:56and to you
07:57and to our friends
07:57the billiard
07:58The billiard ball
07:59was made from the plow
08:00at that time
08:00But
08:01as usual
08:01humans were surprised
08:02Oh!
08:03The resources like the plow
08:04are limited and run out
08:05And so
08:05over time
08:06a material like the plow
08:07became obsolete
08:08So humans started to think
08:09Can these abandoned polymers
08:10be made artificially?
08:12This question
08:12according to your expectations
08:13won't start in the factory
08:14But
08:15Look at this
08:15It will start with the question of the billiard
08:17And one of the most important layers
08:18needs polymers
08:19The middle layers
08:20The activities of the middle layers
08:21the entertainment
08:21are, my dear
08:22what started all these problems
08:23One
08:24of the billiard players
08:25organized a competition
08:26in 1863
08:27with a prize worth $10,000
08:29Pay attention, my dear
08:30This is about 170 years ago
08:31And you know
08:32the account of smoking and so on
08:33This amount
08:34will be taken by the person
08:34who can invent a new trick
08:36to solve the problem of the plow
08:37in billiard balls
08:38He will win in a competition
08:39called John Weasley Yacht
08:40who will invent in 1878
08:42a material that affects the color
08:43This material
08:43not only solved the problem of the billiard
08:45but also
08:45led companies to an ingenious idea
08:47Guys
08:48There is a material
08:48that can
08:49solve the place
08:50of rare polymers
08:51natural
08:52like the plow, for example
08:53and at the same time
08:54cheap
08:54and resistant to damage
08:55Ah
08:57Especially if you compare them
08:58with materials
08:58like wood and glass
09:00which also have
09:01limited resources
09:02Investors
09:03found it
09:03out of the blue
09:04They used it
09:05in many parts
09:05from dentistry
09:06to the film industry
09:08In his book
09:09The Cultural History
09:10of American Plastic
09:11Jeffrey Nickell describes
09:12this transformation
09:13as
09:13allowing the middle class
09:14to freely
09:15buy goods
09:16But
09:16the road to industrial polymers
09:17will not stop
09:18at these attempts
09:19Because now
09:20the middle class
09:21found a way to consume it
09:22So the upper class
09:23looked at the celluloid
09:24as a fake product
09:25a second degree
09:26Their goal
09:26is to reproduce nature
09:27and its materials
09:28without any real beauty
09:30and originality
09:31I want a billiard ball
09:32I don't want to sell it
09:33Here will start
09:33attempts to improve
09:34polymers
09:35The artificial resemblance
09:36depends on a mixture
09:37of natural materials
09:38and manufactured materials
09:39For example
09:40the attempts of
09:40a man named
09:41Charles Gaudier
09:42This man
09:42tried to mix
09:43the natural material
09:44with the capricious
09:44But
09:45he didn't have
09:46the first
09:46industrial polymers
09:47completely
09:47The first industrial polymers
09:49100%
09:50appeared
09:50in 1907
09:51with the establishment
09:52of the family
09:52And also
09:53it appeared
09:53as a solution to the problem
09:54No guys
09:54We have a natural material
09:55that we need
09:56But
09:56it exists on the planet
09:57We discovered
09:58that it is limited
09:58and limited
09:59The only material
09:59that was used
10:00in the isolation of electricity
10:01in the manufacture of wires
10:02and electrical components
10:03was
10:03called
10:03the angel's nail
10:04And it was specifically
10:06made from
10:06the nails
10:07of the Kerala insects
10:08I'm Abu Ahmed
10:09I don't need
10:09anyone to nail me
10:10I'll take his nails
10:14As a result of the increase in demand
10:15for this insulating material
10:16the price of the material
10:16rose exponentially
10:18And this
10:18forced the Belgian
10:19Leo Bickland
10:20to make
10:21an electrical insulator
10:22by adding
10:23formaldehyde
10:24and phenol
10:24which came from
10:25the oil refinery
10:25And after many attempts
10:27the invention
10:28of Bickland's material
10:29finally arrived
10:30The first
10:30fully
10:31manufactured
10:31plastic
10:32Finally
10:33We now have
10:34industrial polymers
10:35Polymers
10:35that can live
10:36a longer period
10:37than normal
10:37and are easier
10:38to mold
10:39and less likely
10:40to wear out
10:40That's not to say
10:41that they are available
10:42Of course
10:43these industrial polymers
10:44started to spread
10:45in everything
10:45Fibers
10:46and buttons
10:47and pens
10:48and media
10:48That's not
10:49home appliances
10:50like the radio
10:50And with
10:51the spread of cars
10:52and the increase in demand
10:53for oil refineries
10:54man
10:55discovered
10:55this suddenly
10:56But this
10:57is the obvious
10:57annual result
10:58of this oil refinery
11:00It benefits
11:00a material
11:01that is not made of plastic
11:02The material
11:02that is not made of plastic
11:03is used
11:04only in power plants
11:05Wow
11:06This, my dear
11:07will link the manufacture
11:08of plastic
11:09to the future of oil
11:10Because
11:10flashnets and latinets
11:12were born
11:13which are
11:13the petrochemicals
11:15If you look
11:16you will discover
11:16that all the petrochemicals
11:17tycoons
11:19like Exxon Mobil
11:19and Total
11:20were born
11:20in this period
11:21When we were able
11:22to make
11:23ethylene gas
11:24from oil
11:25polyethylene
11:26which is used
11:27in packaging and selling
11:28and we took
11:29propylene
11:30and made
11:30polypropylene
11:31Yes, Abu Ahmed
11:32You are saying it wrong
11:35Polypropylene
11:36is a material
11:37used
11:37in food preservation
11:38Let me tell you, my dear
11:39that the person
11:39who invented this material
11:40won the Nobel Prize
11:41The Italian Giulio Nata
11:42So, the subject
11:43continued like this
11:43and with it
11:44the second world war
11:45started a new leap
11:45in the use of plastic
11:46to solve
11:47as an alternative
11:48to one of the oldest
11:49and most important
11:50goods
11:50in the ancient world
11:51The silk
11:52And as usual
11:53the subject
11:53started from the simplest detail
11:55Like me, Abu Ahmed
11:56Like, my dear
11:56the silk soaps
11:57The subject started
11:58with the silk soaps
12:00In the year 1940
12:01the American women
12:03were using
12:03silk soaps
12:04Soaps
12:05imported from Japan
12:06But
12:06because of the second world war
12:07Japan participated in it
12:08and the Americans
12:09were against the Japanese
12:10just so you know
12:11So, my dear
12:11it was a shame
12:12that we are facing wars
12:13and nuclear bombs
12:15and
12:16armed conflicts
12:16and we are still
12:17exchanging silk soaps
12:18for silk
12:19Very important
12:20experiments
12:20stopped
12:21At that time
12:21The bond company
12:22for petrochemicals
12:23used in the production
12:24of military armaments
12:25a material
12:26that was expected
12:26to be an alternative
12:28to natural silk
12:29This material, my dear
12:31is nylon
12:31On May 15, 1940
12:33the first part of nylon soaps
12:35was sold in America
12:36In just 4 days
12:37it became a trend
12:38and 4 million soaps
12:39were sold
12:41In his book
12:42Silvio Greco considers
12:43plastic
12:43as the worst
12:45thing that ever happened to him
12:46Especially after World War II
12:47When it started to spread
12:48with training
12:48plastic
12:49started to deteriorate
12:51and started to dissolve
12:52all the other materials
12:53You know what?
12:54I feel like
12:54I'm going to be arrested
12:55Guys, I'm making
12:56a call to Bernardo
12:56He's my brother
12:57I don't have him
12:58I'm a material
12:58but not solid
12:59I'm with you
13:00and I look like you want me to
13:01I'm rich
13:01You know what, my dear?
13:02It didn't go like this
13:03until the production of plastic
13:04in 1970
13:05Until what?
13:06The production of plastic
13:07What?
13:08Plastic
13:09Plastic, Abu Ahmed
13:10Oh, I swear to God
13:11I swear to God
13:12Plastic started
13:13and no one could stop it
13:14And until this moment
13:15we are in front of companies
13:17that found a magical material
13:18A material
13:18that can make anything
13:20Until now, my dear
13:20it didn't go well
13:21We had a problem
13:22but the companies
13:23found a magical solution
13:24to these problems
13:25We now have a great material
13:26that can make anything
13:28without destroying the environment
13:29without cutting down forests
13:30without stealing animals
13:31to get the profit
13:32Not to get a snooker
13:33Kill the animals
13:34If you make a cut
13:35at the moment
13:36you'll find plastic not only
13:37in the shape of bags and glasses
13:39No
13:39It's everywhere
13:41On the walls, computers
13:42and most of the home appliances
13:44You'll also find
13:45inside a piece
13:45of the industrial compartments
13:46and the industrial designs
13:48and the air ducts
13:49All of this, my dear
13:50is a material
13:50or plastic
13:51But maybe
13:52at the same time
13:52plastic is produced
13:53which is estimated
13:54according to some sources
13:54that it was in the 1930s
13:56you'll hear voices saying
13:57Guys
13:58There's a problem
13:59Oh my God
14:00What is it, Abu Ahmed?
14:01The first incident
14:02happened in 1931
14:05when a shark
14:06was trying to move
14:07because of a car accident
14:08The shark was walking
14:09and suddenly
14:10a car accident happened
14:11Hoppa!
14:12It couldn't move
14:13When we entered the 60s
14:14we started seeing
14:15dead whales and birds
14:17because of the plastic waste
14:19At first
14:19everyone thought
14:20that these are stupid animals
14:22and so on
14:23Big oceans
14:24can absorb our waste
14:25forever
14:26Not because of a few animals
14:28We'll change our policy
14:29and remove our pollution
14:30So
14:30it was easy to decide
14:31to use these oceans
14:32as a landfill
14:33to store our waste
14:35But
14:35with the increase of population
14:36and consumption
14:37the problem of
14:38plastic waste
14:40became a problem
14:40We suddenly discovered
14:41that even the oceans
14:43have limits
14:44You can't consume everything
14:45That's why
14:45the world will be surprised
14:47that after decades
14:48a giant shark appeared
14:49Remember the episode we started with?
14:51The one that told us
14:51that we're in a real disaster
14:53If we find
14:54the shark in this ocean
14:55we'll find it a disaster
14:56It kicked the marine life
14:57out of its area
14:58But
14:59in the rest of the vast ocean
15:00the creatures
15:01have to face the plastic
15:02as if it's a deadly bomb
15:03It fills the oceans
15:04and it thinks
15:04I'm the sea
15:05It eats plastic bottles
15:06and it thinks
15:07I'm the sea
15:07Its bodies
15:08either contain
15:09toxic or unsanitary materials
15:11It fills the empty stomach
15:13and it causes malnutrition
15:14This is different from
15:15the plastic net
15:16or the net
15:17as scientists
15:18call it
15:19Because
15:20the net
15:20can't see the sky
15:22and it's solid
15:22So it's easy to remove
15:24the marine life
15:25Even
15:26if these creatures
15:26avoided the plastic
15:27in all its forms
15:28just being in the oceans
15:29prevents the sun
15:31from reaching the oceans
15:32and the marine life
15:33When these creatures die
15:34the life cycle of other creatures
15:36will be destroyed
15:37Plastic is not just
15:38a marine disaster
15:39that destroys a place
15:40It can also
15:41cause floods
15:43like the tsunami in 2011
15:45And maybe
15:46the plastic that moves
15:47to another place
15:48either because of
15:48normal marine aircraft
15:49or natural disasters
15:51has already
15:52been hit by a lot of earthquakes
15:53and sometimes
15:54by small creatures
15:55like cats and rats
15:56So
15:56they take this plastic
15:57and throw it away
15:58to a new place
15:59that is environmentally balanced
16:00Congratulations
16:01You're doing a great job
16:02in destroying the environment
16:03Great
16:03Imagine if the oven
16:04reached a place
16:05that has no natural enemies
16:07and it was hit by a lot of earthquakes
16:08Or
16:08we received an earthquake
16:09that came from another place
16:10that we don't usually
16:11see in our homes
16:11So
16:12we don't have a backrest
16:13Maybe what I'm telling you
16:14is a complete drama
16:16that happens at the bottom of the sea
16:17Neither you
16:18nor the companies
16:19feel it
16:20But let me tell you
16:20a surprise, my dear
16:21If I analyzed your body
16:23you'd be covered in plastic
16:24What?
16:24I'm covered in plastic?
16:25So people around me
16:26would think I'm fantastic
16:28You're still a loser
16:29and the environment is collapsing
16:30But
16:31if I analyzed your body
16:32I'm sure
16:32you'd be covered in plastic
16:33In a study
16:34in 2018
16:35done in Nimsa
16:36they collected
16:36samples from more than
16:388 volunteers
16:39in more than one country
16:39and they researched
16:40about plastic
16:41and these samples
16:42showed
16:43a very small type of plastic
16:45called
16:45microplastic
16:46Let me tell you
16:47the weight
16:47not the sample
16:48According to researchers
16:48the European human
16:50swallows
16:50in one year
16:51about 11,000
16:53microplastic particles
16:54But
16:54if you're American
16:55and you drink
16:56from plastic bottles regularly
16:57your body will absorb
16:58130,000 microplastic particles
17:01annually
17:01In comparison
17:02only 4,000 microplastic particles
17:03if you drink water
17:04from a tap
17:05If you're an American
17:06You know what, my dear?
17:06This is perfect
17:07The most dangerous thing
17:08are the smaller particles
17:10of microplastic
17:11You know what?
17:11After the micro, comes the nano
17:12Nanoplastic is dangerous
17:14because
17:14because of its small size
17:15it can penetrate
17:16the cells' shells
17:17and cause
17:18dangerous reactions
17:18in the body
17:19So, my dear
17:20you don't need
17:20to walk in a quiet environment
17:22to find a field
17:23full of plastic
17:24Plastic will come ready
17:25for your fish
17:26The fish ate plastic
17:28and we caught it
17:28with a plastic net
17:29If you ask for it at home
17:30the fish you caught
17:31might not be plastic
17:32Let me tell you
17:32that 55%
17:33of marine creatures
17:34that have a commercial importance
17:36such as
17:36mackerels,
17:36shrimps,
17:37and sardines
17:38and half of the fish
17:39are polluted
17:40by nanoplastics
17:40Unfortunately, my dear
17:41despite the connections
17:42between plastic
17:43and cancer
17:44with certain cancers
17:45or
17:46kidney disorders
17:47the effect of
17:47microplastic
17:48and nanoplastics
17:49that reach our body
17:50has not been studied
17:51sufficiently
17:52until now
17:52A study that made us understand
17:53its effect
17:54in a more detailed way
17:55That's enough, Ahmed
17:55If it's for fish
17:56I'll stop it
17:57But, my dear
17:57you stopped the fish
17:58Of course you can't
17:58stop the salt
17:59A big part of the salt
18:01that we consume
18:02comes from where?
18:02From the sea
18:03which is also polluted
18:04by plastic
18:05What are you doing, Ahmed?
18:06Get out of the way
18:07I have to go to the bathroom
18:08for what?
18:08My dear
18:08I told you
18:09it's in the closet
18:10You're really going to the bathroom
18:11for what?
18:12My dear
18:12We are surrounded
18:14by plastic
18:14Ahmed, I'm sorry
18:15I don't understand something
18:16We are now in front of companies
18:17that have reached
18:18a magical invention
18:19on the heart
18:19So they used
18:20a lab
18:20But the product
18:21has a more dangerous effect
18:23which is
18:23that it takes years
18:25for it to decompose
18:26So why do we
18:27make new plastic
18:28instead of recycling
18:29and using it?
18:30We take the empty base
18:31and fill it up again
18:32It's a great idea
18:33My dear
18:34Let me tell you that in a study
18:34published in 2018
18:36in the Science Advances field
18:37the total size of plastic
18:39until 2018
18:40reached 8.3 billion tons
18:43Do you know, my dear
18:44how many tons
18:44recycling
18:45or recycling
18:469% only
18:47is what is recycled
18:49after the first use
18:491% only
18:50is what is recycled
18:51again
18:52and 12%
18:53is burned
18:54while 6.3 billion tons
18:56which is about 79% of it
18:58is accumulated in the waste dumps
19:00or in nature
19:02This is a very important piece of information
19:03that in most cases
19:05the cost of making new plastic
19:07is cheaper than recycling
19:09and also easier as a process
19:10This makes most companies
19:12make it easier and get rid of it
19:13instead of recycling
19:14According to a study
19:15published in 2021
19:16entitled
19:17Single-Use Plastic
19:18or the plastic
19:19that is used
19:20once
19:20According to this study
19:21the most harmful
19:23and spread on the planet
19:25responsible for 90% of its production
19:27is
19:28a number company
19:29Most of these companies
19:30are petrochemical companies
19:31like Exxon
19:32or the Chinese Sinopec
19:33I mean, my dear
19:34if thousands and thousands of people
19:36stopped using plastic
19:37then this is just a single-use plastic
19:38that is respected
19:39by the public
19:40and by the will
19:41but it won't be effective enough
19:43because these companies
19:44will produce more
19:45and this is not my words
19:46I'm just, as I told you
19:47writing knowledge
19:48and after I increased the difficulty of burning
19:49I became a knowledge skateboard
19:50little by little
19:51it became a knowledge game
19:52so you can see the knowledge
19:53I hate it
19:55In his book
19:56Plastic on the Table
19:57Silvio Grieco says
19:58that in the period
19:59from 2008 to 2020
20:00we produced
20:01half of the plastic production
20:02that we produced
20:02from 1950
20:03to 2020
20:04I mean, my dear
20:05in 12 years
20:06we produced
20:07half of what we produced
20:08in 70 years
20:08this is even a higher production
20:09than our population increase
20:11and we also consumed
20:12if we continue with this equation
20:13then we expect
20:14that the amount of plastic
20:15whether in waste collection centers
20:16or in the environment in general
20:17will reach 12 billion tons
20:19by 2050
20:20and then
20:21the weight of the plastic in the sea
20:22is bigger than the weight of the fish itself
20:24and imagine
20:25the reduction of production
20:25in Silvio Grieco's opinion
20:26is the first and most effective strategy
20:29because
20:29recycling plastic
20:30other than being a complicated process
20:31and this is because
20:32every type of plastic
20:33has its own recycling process
20:34and the subject is expensive
20:35a lot of things
20:36are
20:36this recycling process
20:37produces products
20:39of lower quality
20:39or are already contaminated
20:41with chemical substances
20:41harmful to health
20:42more harmful than plastic
20:44but they are not tomatoes
20:45companies, my dear
20:45are going to tell you
20:46guys
20:47the problem with the end user
20:48I swear
20:48I
20:49produce plastic
20:50but the last one worth it
20:51is the one who throws it away
20:52he is
20:53the one who is causing the problem
20:53not me
20:54according to what these companies say
20:55the problem
20:56is because of the individuals
20:57or
20:58the governments
20:58who don't know
20:59how to deal with waste
21:00this is not
21:01a complaint in the scientific circles
21:02that talks about the possibility of plastic
21:04from the beginning
21:04Silvio Grieco
21:05will consider
21:05that this is a misleading response
21:06and will propose
21:07a policy of extended responsibility
21:09for the producers
21:09that is, the producer
21:10is responsible
21:12for the life cycle
21:13of all his products
21:14and therefore
21:14he is responsible
21:15for pulling the product from the market
21:17after consumption
21:18and recycling it
21:18or its treatment
21:19or getting rid of it
21:20and maybe
21:20the producers
21:22pay taxes
21:23based on the amount of waste
21:24they produce every year
21:25and this tax
21:26is directed to the process
21:27of recycling
21:28in order to reach
21:29what Grieco called
21:29the circular economy
21:31where the percentage of waste
21:32in ideal conditions
21:33is closer to zero
21:33the problem with this word specifically
21:35is
21:35the expression of ideal conditions
21:36these are
21:37solutions that need an ideal
21:38and the companies
21:39do not move the ideal
21:41there are shareholders
21:42they want to know
21:42how much the price went up
21:43and how much it went down
21:44these are
21:44profitable entities
21:45that can only move
21:46one thing
21:47that will affect them
21:47profit
21:48but I, Abu Ahmed, will not move
21:49except for one thing
21:50that affected me
21:51and that is profit
21:51am I with them
21:52or not
21:53I say no
21:53I don't want to be with them
21:54because I don't like them
21:55my heart is broken
21:56and my heart is sad
21:57but don't get close to the rest of the people
21:58everything is about money
21:59here
22:00let me tell you
22:00that the global economy
22:01suffers annually
22:02from a loss of
22:0319 billion dollars
22:04almost
22:05as a cost
22:05for the existence of
22:06plastic waste
22:07in the environment
22:07but
22:08the cost of this plastic
22:09instead of recycling it
22:10reached 13 billion dollars
22:10annually
22:12such a cost
22:12even if the governments
22:13were to bear it
22:14then the governments
22:15would get it from where?
22:16from taxes
22:16taxes that are borne
22:17by ordinary people
22:18which are me
22:19and you
22:19and here
22:19the damage
22:20reached the most important part
22:21in the company's economy
22:22the consumer
22:22the consumer
22:23who decided at the moment
22:24not to deal with a company
22:25because of plastic
22:26will suffer this company
22:27in the long run
22:27from losses
22:28that could destroy it
22:29in the end
22:29according to a report
22:30by The Guardian
22:30in 2018
22:31which describes
22:32what is called
22:33the Worldwide Revolt
22:34Against Plastic
22:34from New York
22:35to Britain
22:36to South Korea
22:37there is a revolution
22:37a pressure and opposition
22:38from consumers
22:39against
22:39the use of plastic
22:40in the same year
22:41a group of environmental activists
22:42will occupy
22:42Nesla factories
22:43in the Philippines
22:44and they will ask the company
22:45to reduce what is known
22:46as its plastic fingerprint
22:47that is, the total amount of plastic
22:49that it produces
22:49and consumes
22:50and as a result
22:51the company made a commitment
22:52that 100% of its products
22:53will be recyclable
22:55by 2025
22:56and in 2019
22:57there will be a movement
22:58called
22:58Break Free From Plastic
23:00in a report
23:00Coca-Cola will be considered
23:01the biggest polluter
23:03of plastic
23:03in the world
23:04for two years in a row
23:05and this
23:05made a strong response
23:06among consumers
23:07and made the company
23:07make a commitment
23:08that by 2030
23:1025% of its products
23:11will be made in containers
23:13that are recyclable
23:14what I understand
23:15dear Mr. Zaydi
23:16is that companies
23:16can turn their environment
23:17180 degrees
23:18not necessarily
23:18for the environment
23:19or for the goods
23:20or for anything
23:20but because
23:22there is a popular pressure
23:23that threatens their future
23:24profitability
23:25so they started
23:25taking supportive measures
23:27for the environment
23:28in the end, dear Mr. Zaydi
23:29in the future
23:29we will be in front of
23:30two types of companies
23:31the type that looks at
23:32the fast and near economic gain
23:33so it is easier for it
23:34to make new plastic
23:35instead of recycling it
23:36and reducing its production
23:37another type
23:37I see a little later
23:38either it knows
23:39that the continuation of this situation
23:40will threaten its activity
23:41and make it stop working
23:42due to the increase in government pressure
23:44these are laws
23:44this is not the consumer
23:45that will change over time
23:46and here
23:47these companies will have to
23:48respond to the pressure of people
23:49who will stop buying from them
23:51if they don't do this
23:51and because simply
23:52the production of plastic
23:53can affect the environment itself
23:55and the consumers themselves
23:56so the manufacturers
23:56will not have anyone to sell them
23:57these are the main market elements
23:59the environment
24:00that we will get from it
24:00and transfer the resources
24:02and the human
24:02or what is known
24:03to the customer
24:04also the change
24:04in the consumer's culture
24:05is not far from being a reason
24:06in more medical studies
24:07it is clear
24:08the effect of plastic
24:09inside us
24:10and around us
24:10and its link
24:11with diseases such as cancer
24:12and others
24:12and this, dear Mr. Zaydi
24:13will affect these companies
24:14especially
24:15the lack of scientific information
24:16or the lack of accuracy
24:17that we have received from plastic
24:18it may seem, dear Mr. Zaydi
24:19that we are watching
24:19an exemplary moment
24:20that is hard to happen
24:21but it is in line
24:22with the story of plastic
24:23that I told you
24:23the magical invention
24:24that the companies created
24:25in the first place
24:26after the resources decreased
24:27and the environment complained
24:27so here
24:28we can, in the same way
24:29make sure
24:29that we have reached
24:30a similar moment
24:31the plastic in it
24:32is the same curse
24:33that threatens the environment
24:34after the magical solution
24:35that I told you about
24:35and from here
24:36the companies can find
24:37alternative solutions to plastic
24:38to be able to maintain
24:39its profitability
24:40and most importantly
24:40to maintain
24:41the existence of a reliable consumer
24:43and its impact on his health
24:44that's it
