#Plastics #Pollution #Brazil
Looks cool make it some jewelry and recycle it🎉
in tens of thousands of years (if our species survives) archaeologists will find a layer of rocks made of plastic, how dystopian is that
Kool
When is there going to be policy implemented to stop this? Microplastics are laden with chemicals that affect the ecosystem and even the human body. This is a disaster we hear about constantly and no one is doing anything.
-WHAT is THis!!??!? Terrifying new discoveries of exotic earth minerals. This color & texture is worthy of Nobel Peace Prize research! Maria grabs some for the lab.!!!..!!
*Looks through microscope*
– Ohhhh just melted plastic rocks.
The more advanced science and technology becomes, the more terrifying and upsetting things we hear about. I wish we would learn from this information instead of just watching a video on YouTube.
Because we are pollution monsters.
STOP BUYING PLASTIC. STOP IT. THEY WILL STOP SELLING IT IF WE DON’T BUY IT.
God is literally ripping the earth apart. Too much plastic on it is our lease worry.
Another reason to be vegan.
They trying to turn everybody vegan. This is one of the ways.
The plastic melts underwater and then binds to the rocks? Ok
Plastic production is set to triple by 2060.
Oh no. This sure is very sad finding.
Oooh plastic…. So terrifying…
I think they should relax, humans won’t be around much longer and earth will have plenty time to heal itself, alls well.
Short sighted & greedy politicians and selfish & lazy people who keep them in power prevent the earth’s smartest denizens from saving themselves. We are not the only lives on this planet, but we all live on the same planet, yet we have doomed our fellow denizens and our own progeny. Shame on us for stealing their futures.
“I would do it [study UFOs], but before agreeing to do it, we must insist upon full access to discs recovered. For instance, in the L.A. case, the Army grabbed it and would not let us have it for cursory examination.” J. Edgar Hoover-Director of FBI
The security guard called and said, “Sir, there’s a glowing red object hovering right outside the front gate. I’ve got all the men out here with their weapons drawn.” We lost between 16-18 ICBMs (nuclear tipped Inter Continental Ballistic Missiles) at the same time UFOs were in the area… (A high-ranking Air Force officer) said, “Stop the investigation; do no more on this and do not write a final report. I heard that many of the guards that reported the incident were sent off to Vietnam.” Captain Robert Salas, USAF, during a videotaped interview for the Disclosure program.
“A few insiders know the truth…and are studying the bodies that have been discovered.” -Dr. Edgar Mitchell Apollo 14..the 6th NASA employee to walk on the Moon.
“Maximum security exists concerning the subject of UFOs.” CIA Director, Allen Dulles, 1955.
“It’s still classified above Top Secret.” – Senator Barry Goldwater, 1975
“Behind the scenes, high-ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe that unknown flying objects are nonsense.” Former CIA Director, Roscoe Hillenkoetter, public statement, 1960.
“We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false” -William Casey, CIA director, 1981
“Yes, there have been ET visitations. There have been crashed craft. There have been material and bodies recovered. There has been a certain amount of reverse engineering that has allowed some of these craft, or some components, to be duplicated. And there is some group of people that may or may not be associated with the government at this point that have this knowledge. They have been attempting to conceal this knowledge. People in high level government have very little, if any, valid information about this. It has been the subject of disinformation in order to deflect attention and create confusion so the truth doesn’t come out. ” ― Edgar D. Mitchell, The Way of the Explorer: An Apollo Astronaut’s Journey Through the Material and Mystical World
AFFIDAVIT (1) My name is Thomas Jefferson Dubose (2) My address is: XXXXXXXXXX (3) I retired from the U.S. Air force in 1959 with the rank of Brigadier General. (4) In July 1947, I was stationed at Fort Worth Army Air Field [later Carswell Air Force Base] in Fort Worth, Texas. I served as Chief of Staff to Major General Roger Ramey, Commander, Eighth Air Force. I had the rank of Colonel. (5) In early July, I received a phone call from Maj. Gen. Clements McMullen, Deputy Commander, Strategic Air Command. He asked what we knew about the object which had been recovered outside Roswell, New Mexico, as reported in the press. I called Col. William Blanchard, Commander of the Roswell Army Air Field, and directed him to send the material in a sealed container to me at Fort Worth. I so informed Maj. Gen. McMullen. (6) After the plane from Roswell arrived with the material, I asked the Base Commander, Col. Al Clark, to take possession of the material and to personally transport it in a B-26 to Maj. Gen. McMullen in Washington, D.C. I notified Maj. Gen. McMullen, and he told me he would send the material by personal courier on his plane to Benjamin Chidlaw, Commanding General of the Air Material Command at Wright Field [later Wright Patterson AFB]. The entire operation was conducted under the strictest secrecy. (7) The material shown in the photographs taken in Maj. Gen. Ramey’s office was a weather balloon. The weather balloon explanation for the material was a cover story to divert the attention of the press. (8) I have not been paid or given anything of value to make this statement, which is the truth to the best of my recollection. Signed: T. J. Dubose Date: 9/16/91 Signature witnessed by: Linda R. Split Notary Public, State of Florida.
“There exists a shadowy government with its own Air Force, its own Navy, its own fundraising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its own ideas of national interest, free from all checks and balances, and free from the law itself. “ — Daniel Inouye Senate Select Committee on Secret Military Assistance to Iran and the Nicaraguan Opposition (Iran-Contra hearings) (1987)
REMOTE VIEWING (a technique developed by our CIA and Stanford Research Institute) PER FARSIGHT INSTITUTE data suggests…Genesis 19:24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven… AND..As the Quran has it, Prophet Muhammad took a night trip to heaven aboard a trusty winged pony-horse-mule-ish creature called Buraq…
Many other topics begin to make sense..
It has been said that after President Carter was finally briefed on the et reality, he was deeply upset. For several weeks..
MEANINGFUL congressional hearings might be a good place to start ala the Watergate hearings, including aerospace/defense contractors and others such as Bob Lazar, Andrew Basiago and Vice Admiral Thomas R. Wilson must be held to address a vital issue that transcends politics and we will never properly advance until it happens: The 75+yr ongoing-constitutionally illegal, EXTRATERRESTRIAL and associated TIME TRAVEL and SECRET SPACE PROGRAMS cover-ups. It would also be nice to know what the results of the many years/projects involving the back-engineering of recovered “vehicles” are. Who has been footing the bill for that? How can we truly believe anything our elected officials say?
The longer an “official” disclosure is delayed…the more disruptive it could be and the longer our slavery will stay entrenched. The general public is waiting to be given permission to believe…to know.
The dog and pony shows must cease.
Global warming Fake
How can people say that this is good??? It’s probably ruining the ecosystem around the area.
This is just one more sign of how much damage the big businesses and production companies are causing to our poor little planet.
Getting rid of straws is the solution. Idiots.
Nature is beautiful
Every typhoon washes millions of tons of plastics into the ocean. It’s a never ending cycle of despair.
Awsome
We need to stop using so much plastic it’s destroying the planet. When my parents were growing up beverages all came in glass bottles and then you would return the bottle and get 10 cents. The bottles all got reused over and over again. It was a lot healthier for our environment.
Thankful Turtles don’t eat rocks yet that’ll be the next thing you tell us that people will believe absolute Stellar reporting
It actually makes sense. Plastic washes up on sand and gets blasted by heat all day eventually melts down at some point and combines surrounding materials into a rocky substance
And again it’s not the US doing it but we will punish our peasants for the world’s transgressions.
Tragic. We desperately need massive change but it will never come.
There’s so much plastic in the oceans it’s starting to become nature.
We’re going to soon see animals being accustomed to eating plastic and living
I’ve never found plastic to be terrifying
Looks like this is jus a coverup from bigdaddies by attaching sane color streaks of net: “classified info”
George Carlin was right plastic is just going to incorporate its self into the earth.
Synthetic rocks that bounce and float …?
We as humans were never supposed to have plastic cuz it’s a very deadly material
Plastic is junk
Our planet is a living organism, just like our bodies it will try and heal itself and break down foreign objects
That Gorillaz song “Plastic Beach” is now terrifying
They needed a scientist to tell us plastic melts with heat lmao
We reap what we sow. That’s what we get for convenience
😢
Remember this next time you by your Coca Cola. Coca Cola is one of the largest polluter when it comes to plastic!
looks like it’s time to ban fishing line and fishing all together
Welcome to the world of the plastic beach
Someone 3d printing coral and chucking it in the ocean?
GLOBAL WARMING IS REAL WHY IS THIS SHOCKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good thing the mainstream media suddenly cares about plastic pollution AFTER they fear mongered billions of people into wearing disposable face masks everyday for years on end which were completely ineffective at blocking viruses. All of that waste WILL end up as microplastics in the ocean. And shame on everyone that went along with it!
Cool, brand new rocks
I think it’s awesome 👌
Look at Mother Earth find a way to handle our foolishness and uncaring unevolved behavior 😒 👍🏼
Thanks biden
that’s bad mkay
Yeah 👍.
Philadelphia USA 🇺🇲 AMEN ☦️🙏
I cleaned the South Milwaukee beach of the exact same rocks. There’s blue metallic paint ones and being on the beach smells like paint and makes you sick. Also I cleaned a lot of medical waste like vaccine cartridges and needles and even a wrecked plane.
If the hot beach sand becomes hardened plastic, the turtles can’t dig nests to lay eggs reliably. Plastic could also stick to them. Imagine digging only to find the sand is surface deep and it’s all Rocky or a solid slab underneath.. it may also fluctuate the Temps of the nest too much.
The ecology of the planet would welcome a plastiphage quite readily.
wow, it seems like a small preview of the terrible things to come.
nuclear power plant spills 400k gallons into the Mississippi
Plastic rocks in brazil
Snow in the south of the midwest US in March.
Lets face it, the people who are able to do something about these issues, are not watching YouTube videos, they are out there spending their millions. I can recycle all my plastics, that does not mean it will end up where it doesn’t cause any harm.
Funny once upon a time plastic was hailed the wonder material, yea what a great invention……
Humans have ruined this planet & they say earth has a ring like Saturn’s ring but ours is Space debris.
It looks like a net used by fishermen
Man our killing this earth
I wonder if the compaction of plastics creates fluids as a byproducts. The fluid is then capable of percolating down to the drinking water supply, Kind of like an underground landfill, with nothing to catch the contaminants
Not often i write but this is really sad, and a direct cause of human ignorance.
Terrifying? LOL! Come on now.
Toxic algae 11 years now getting blood cancer center after swimming in North Dakota lake Ashdebuelah people are dying from dirty water time to clean up , Emergency building more cancer centers from bricks not answer, need filters that generate power on coastlines
Humans call this progress. I write this from my Iphone while riding in an SUV. Destroy the planet for the win. Mars is always an option.
We must stop the formation of rocks before the earth is covered by them
they have a fungus that eats plastic, yes you read that right a mushroom that eats plastic,… they refuse to release it for national security reasons its called Pestalotiopsis
Stop with the hyperbole. Everything is “terrifying”. No wonder people without any ability to think critically believe the world is coming to an end.
Were all in a simulation. Someone is digging through our history trying to find the cause for our destruction.
So that’s how they grow plastic plants 😅
This is a known thing. Rock forms around plastic making a new type of rock. If we are still around in 10k years scientists will be showing them in museums lol.
On islands like Helgoland, you can see hundreds of birds die entangled in parts of nets they used to build their nests.
If that stuff built up to small stone- like structures, this wouldn’t occur anymore.
Anyway, we should reduce the use of plastic to a minimum.
Soon there will be a plastic beach.
That is actually terrifying
BS video.
Thank you for sharing ! Very scary indeed ! All fishing nets should be reeled in after using ! For the ocean and ground ! Or invent nets that are biodegradable only ! 🙏🏾♥️
Look up, Chinese fishing fleet. They don’t care.
Uh oh, exposing the 3d printed matrix now.
New plastic based ecosystem 🧐
It’s part of the, Plastic island update for v20.23 of earth. Kinda neat the devs are still updating a dying game.
Lazy and greedy humans. They don’t make nets like they used to.
So now “biodegradable” products are suddenly bad for the environment as well
Does the Gorilla’s album “Plastic Beach” ring a bell.
Earth: “Ugh, those humans refuse to recycle their plastic! I guess it’s up to me to do it. I have to do everything around here!”
But we’re to blame for the planet’s pollution
We need to action now before it is to late Blessed Be.
Future caveman are going to be using plastic ore for tools. Talking about myths of the ancient plastic ore island drifting somewhere out at sea. Lmao
It starts with those rocks then it will start infecting the turtles in that island…the Last of the Turtle
george carlin once said Paraphrased, the earth will shake us off like fleas, shell be fine, shell just become plastic earth, shell take care of herself…..its us that wont survive’
Thank you China
as late george carlin said….may be mother earth wanted plastic and it gave birth to humans….😂😂
So, if there’s only so much stuff on the planet… and we keep turning it into plastic… and that plastic doesn’t turn back into other stuff… what are we doing here? This isn’t good
When life gives you lemons make lemonade.
Hahahaha humans ROCK
The fact is that we have already lost the War with Plastic, we should already start consuming plastic directly in the form of Plastic Jams and slices in our Sandwiches and Gourmet dishes and Sushi made of Sea Weed plastic. If we can’t defeat it we should become friends with it. 👍👍
Oceans are dying at an alarming rate cos of plastic and not just oceans but lakes, rivers, springs you name it there’s at least one if not several forms of pollution in it.
I hate plastic. 😞😞Try to get away from it. Virtually impossible. And, now it is in these rocks!! Yikes. 😱😱😱
Well you got to remember that everything that is made is a chemical process made of earth or made from Earth and all Earth is doing is reforming it because we won’t do it. We threw it down there so now Earth got to do what it do
The future looks bright where anyone can build a land out of plastic to live on. No more refugees issues.❤
The world baffles me. On one hand there is too much human activity on the planet that it destroys and interferes with nature and we should reduce our human activity, and then the other half of the world is saying how you should have open borders with promises of a better life that encourage more people to put a greater strain on our systems via their material dependencies
