La famosa "mancha de basura del Pacífico" despertó la atención global sobre el plástico oceánico, pero muchos datos difundidos son engañosos. Lejos de ser una isla visible, se trata de un vórtice difuso compuesto mayormente por residuos de la industria pesquera. Gran parte del plástico no proviene del "arrojo irresponsable", sino del mal manejo sistémico de residuos. Además, el reciclaje, aunque valioso, no es suficiente: solo una pequeña fracción del plástico oceánico es reciclable. Los microplásticos, provenientes de neumáticos, textiles y pinturas, están en aumento, contaminando incluso zonas alejadas. La solución no está solo en reciclar, sino en reducir la producción de plásticos y simplificar sus componentes químicos. En este Día del Medio Ambiente, urge exigir cambios estructurales, responsabilidad industrial y políticas globales más firmes para combatir esta crisis plástica de raíz.

El video nos invita a reflexionar sobre la enorme problemática que representa la contaminación por plásticos y cómo la solución podría encontrarse en la propia naturaleza. Ahí nos muestra cómo ciertos hongos, como Pestalotiopsis microspora, tienen la capacidad de descomponer materiales sintéticos que durante décadas se consideraron prácticamente indestructibles. Este hallazgo no solo representa un avance biotecnológico, sino también una llamada de atención: la ciencia y la naturaleza pueden trabajar juntas para enfrentar las crisis ambientales.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is not just a mass of waste floating in the ocean — it’s a reflection of our actions as humanity. Every single-use bag, every bottle we carelessly throw away, ends up directly or indirectly affecting the lives of thousands of living creatures. It's heartbreaking to think that in our pursuit of convenience, we've turned the oceans — symbols of life and freedom — into graveyards of plastic. This patch pollutes not only the water, but also our conscience. It's time to ask ourselves: what kind of world do we want to leave behind? Change is in our hands, and it begins with small decisions that, together, can make a big difference.

Me impacta saber que gran parte de esa contaminación ni siquiera proviene directamente de las personas, sino de industrias enteras que manejan sus residuos mal. Los microplásticos están en todos lados, incluso donde uno pensaría que no podrían llegar y me doy cuenta de que reciclar no basta. Porque si de verdad queremos cambiar algo, necesitamos reducir desde el origen, producir menos plásticos y hacerlos más simples. Tal vez ahí está la verdadera solución, en cambiar el sistema y no solo en seguir parchandolo.

Este video ofrece una mirada crítica y reveladora sobre la verdadera causa de la contaminación por plástico en los océanos. Más allá de culpar únicamente al consumidor individual, expone cómo grandes industrias y sistemas de gestión de residuos deficientes, especialmente en ciertos países, son los principales responsables del problema. Además, pone en duda la efectividad del reciclaje y denuncia cómo algunas empresas promueven soluciones simbólicas para desviar la atención de su responsabilidad. Es un contenido que invita a reflexionar y cuestionar la información que normalmente se da por cierta sobre el medio ambiente. Un llamado urgente a mirar el problema desde una perspectiva global y estructural.
ResponderBorrarEl Día Mundial del Medio Ambiente (5 de junio) nos insta a reflexionar sobre problemas como la Gran Mancha de Basura del Pacífico. Esta enorme acumulación de plásticos y desechos flotantes en el océano es un símbolo de nuestro consumo excesivo y la mala gestión de residuos. Los plásticos se fragmentan en microplásticos que dañan gravemente la vida marina, afectando la cadena alimentaria y llegando a nosotros.
ResponderBorrarEsta "isla" de basura se forma por vertidos terrestres y falta de conciencia, concentrada por las corrientes oceánicas. Sus consecuencias impactan la salud de los océanos, el clima y nuestra alimentación. Como jóvenes, podemos contribuir reduciendo plásticos, reciclando, participando en limpiezas y educando. También es vital exigir políticas más estrictas a gobiernos y empresas.

The video "They're Lying To You About Ocean Plastic" offers a critical look at ocean plastic pollution. It debunks the "garbage patch island" myth, highlighting that the real issue stems from mismanaged waste and corporate responsibility, not just individual littering. Recycling isn't a silver bullet, as much plastic is unrecyclable and industries have long known this; thus, reducing plastic production at the source is key. The video also addresses the complexities of ocean cleanup, the pervasive threat of microplastics, and how petrochemical lobbyists hinder progress. Ultimately, it urges us to question perceptions and prioritize systemic change over simple solutions.

This video truly shows us what's happening in the world regarding plastic and the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. It makes us reflect and realize how important it is to recycle and start caring for the environment from home, doing as much as we can. Watching this video has increased my concern, knowing that large companies don't want to collaborate to reduce plastic production because they are being profited financially and only focus on making money, trying to solve problems with small posts about reusing or recycling plastic, when they really don't want to do it. My invitation to each and every human being is: Let's help by contributing as much as we can to take care of our planet. Let's start at home, teaching others, and raising awareness about future waste, for our own good.

The video made me understand that plastic pollution is a complex problem that goes beyond our individual actions. It is necessary to demand structural changes and stronger global policies to combat this crisis. As a student, I commit to reducing my plastic consumption and promoting sustainable practices in my environment.
ResponderBorrarI used to think the Great Pacific Garbage Patch was like a huge island of plastic, but it’s actually more like a bunch of floating trash, mostly from the fishing industry and poor waste management, not just people littering.
ResponderBorrarI also realized recycling isn’t enough. Microplastics are everywhere—even in places with no people. If big changes don’t happen from governments and companies, this problem won’t go away. We need to make less plastic in the first place, not just try to clean it up later.

I find it really shocking that most of the plastic in the ocean comes from the fishing industry and not from what people do in their daily lives. We are constantly being told to stop using bags or straws, but in the end the real culprits are the big companies and bad waste management systems. It's a bit frustrating because it gives the feeling that they just want to get out of their own responsibility.
ResponderBorrarIt also made me think that recycling, which is supposed to be the solution, doesn't really work the way we think it does. It seems to me that if you don't change the system from the top, whatever we do individually will not be enough.

This video shows that plástics are the main culprit off all pollution, and that every day we are polluting more and more with all these plástics. Plástic, althoug useful, is harmful to the ocean due to its long useful life, its ability to fragment into microplastics, and its impact on marine fauna. Plástic degrades into microfragments that are ingested by marine fauna and can end up in the food chain, affecting humans as well. Companies that produce plástics face increasing pressure to reduce their environmental impact

When I saw the video I realized what really happened to plastic in the ocean. I always had the idea of the “great garbage patch” as something super visible and caused by the garbage we throw away, but the video shows that it is much more complex. It left me thinking about how the fishing industry is a huge source of pollution and how recycling, although important, is not the only or the biggest solution. In truth, the video makes you see that the problem is gigantic and that the solutions must come from much larger changes in the way plastic is produced and managed globally.

ResponderBorrarComment:
Plastic pollution in the oceans is one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time. Every year, millions of tons of plastic waste end up in the sea, threatening marine life, polluting ecosystems, and even entering the food chain. Animals such as turtles, fish, and seabirds often mistake plastic for food, which can lead to injury or death. Beyond harming wildlife, microplastics have begun to affect human health as they accumulate in seafood. Tackling this crisis requires global cooperation, reduction in plastic use, improved waste management, and a shift towards sustainable materials. It’s not just about cleaning the oceans — it’s about changing our habits and protecting the planet for future generations.
The Business Insider video, "You're Being Lied to About Ocean Plastic," offers a critical and revealing look at the ocean plastic pollution crisis, challenging the traditional narrative that focuses primarily on the amount of plastic waste entering the ocean. Instead, the video emphasizes the effectiveness of recycling initiatives and the urgent need to improve waste management systems.
ResponderBorrarOne of the video's central ideas is that while recycling is an important part of the solution, it alone is not enough to solve the problem. It highlights that a large proportion of the plastic present in the oceans comes from countries with poor waste management infrastructure, underscoring the importance of investing in more efficient systems and greater environmental education in those regions.
This approach encourages deeper reflection on possible solutions: in addition to reducing the use of single-use plastics, it is essential to strengthen waste management and recycling systems globally. Only then can the problem be addressed more effectively and sustainably. Adriana Sofia Jerez Arias 10-2

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is not only an environmental crisis but also a reflection of how our everyday decisions deeply impact the planet. Even so, it is encouraging to see real solutions emerging: technologies like The Ocean Cleanup, policies that restrict single-use plastics, and international commitments such as the UN agreement to end plastic pollution by 2040 and the expansion of the Basel Convention to regulate plastic waste trade. These commitments are not just formal declarations but meaningful steps that reflect a global willingness to transform how we produce and manage waste. Most importantly, this effort is supported by a growing collective awareness—citizens, organizations, and governments recognizing that recycling should not just be a choice, but a shared responsibility, an act of respect for marine life, and a commitment to future generations.

In this video, she speaks critically about the relationship between perception and reality regarding plastic in the oceans, focusing on the area known as the Great Pacific Trash Patch. Based on extensive research and interviews with experts, the presenter reports that of the many images illustrating the huge problem, few are genuine and reflect reality. Furthermore, she highlights, based on concrete facts, that the majority of plastics in the ocean come primarily from the fishing industry and improper waste management. This teaches us that we must stop throwing plastics into the oceans and reduce their excessive use and recycle more to reduce pollution. It is up to us to take care of water areas. We must also keep in mind that the oceans are not just water; there are also fauna and flora that suffer the consequences of pollution.

The video invites us to reflect on the enormous problem posed by plastic pollution and how the solution could be found in nature itself. There it shows us how certain fungi, such as Pestalotiopsis microspora, have the ability to decompose synthetic materials that for decades were considered practically indestructible. This finding not only represents a biotechnological advance, but also a wake-up call: science and nature can work together to face environmental crises.

World Environment Day, celebrated every June 5th, invites us to reflect on the impact of our actions on the planet. One of the most alarming examples of human pollution is the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a huge accumulation of floating plastic waste located between California and Hawaii. This "garbage patch," which covers an area larger than several countries combined, is the direct result of decades of irresponsible consumption and poor waste management.
ResponderBorrarReflection:
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch did not emerge overnight, but from every bag, bottle, or wrapper discarded without considering its consequences. It is a stark reminder that the planet cannot absorb our waste forever. Caring for the environment is not just a task for governments or businesses: every individual action counts. Changing our consumption habits, reducing plastic use, and promoting environmental education are urgent steps if we want to leave a habitable world for future generations. The time to act is not tomorrow, it is today

The pollution of the oceans, dramatically reflected in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, is a clear sign of the damage our daily activities are causing to the environment. This massive accumulation of waste, mostly composed of plastics, severely affects marine life, disrupting entire ecosystems and threatening biodiversity. What’s most concerning is that this problem doesn’t stay in the ocean: toxins and microplastics end up returning to us through the food chain. It’s time to take responsibility, rethink our consumption habits, and commit to sustainable solutions that allow us to live in harmony with nature. Every small change counts in the fight for cleaner, healthier oceans.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a vast accumulation of marine debris, primarily composed of plastic, located between Hawaii and California. it contains an estimated 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic, weighing around 100,000 tonnes. This pollution poses severe threats to marine life, as animals can ingest or become entangled in the debris. Moreover, the plastics break down into microplastics, which are ingested by marine organisms, potentially entering the human food chain. Addressing this issue requires global efforts to reduce plastic consumption and improve waste management practices.
ResponderBorrarIn this video it does not show our irresponsibility to where it has reached, thus creating a large stain or island of garbage in the Pacific Ocean. People leave their comments if recycling is useful or if the government says that it does not work. Plastic companies are the cause since they continue producing if it stops and they do not realize the damage it does to the ocean. Part of the coasts are seen full of plastic and there are debates about what to do with the great stain of the Pacific Ocean.

This video uncovers an uncomfortable truth: the plastic pollution crisis has been framed in a misleading way. For years, everyday consumers — those who use plastic bags, bottles, and straws — have been blamed as the main culprits behind ocean pollution. However, the documentary reveals how this narrative was shaped by major corporations to shift attention away from their own responsibility in the mass production of single-use plastics.
ResponderBorrarAccording to the video, this public relations strategy was designed to protect economic interests and avoid stricter regulations on the petrochemical and packaging industries. Meanwhile, the real contributors — companies that produce massive amounts of plastic waste — remain largely unaccountable or engage in minimal “greenwashing,” pretending to be sustainable without making meaningful changes.
The video also highlights that a large portion of ocean plastic comes not from Western consumers, but from industrial fishing gear and mismanaged waste in countries where these corporations operate without taking responsibility for their environmental impact.
It encourages us to rethink the focus of environmental activism. Our individual choices do matter, but they shouldn’t become a smokescreen that hides the far greater role of large industries. Real solutions require political pressure, government regulation, and corporate accountability — not just recycling or avoiding plastic as individuals.

The video and text about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch reveal an alarming reality: the problem of plastic in the oceans goes beyond insufficient recycling; it stems from an unsustainable model of production and consumption. This “island of garbage” is not visible, as many believe, but rather a vortex of microplastics, mostly from the fishing industry and poorly managed waste.

I found it shocking. It’s incredible that people are blamed for pollution so that only we take action, while the big companies—who are actually the ones polluting the most—are allowed to keep doing it. Now I understand why, even though we help recycle at home, we’re always told it’s not enough. Clearly, we must continue doing our part wherever we can, but we also need to start demanding that large companies stop polluting. And yes, many animals are capable of living with plastic, but that’s only because they’ve adapted—not because it’s something essential to their lives. Watching videos that show the truth of the situation helps us become more aware of what we humans are doing.

El video "Día del Medio Ambiente: La Gran Mancha de Basura del Pacífico" nos presenta una realidad alarmante sobre la contaminación plástica en nuestros océanos. Esta enorme acumulación de desechos, ubicada entre California y Hawái, abarca aproximadamente 1.6 millones de kilómetros cuadrados, siendo tres veces más grande que España .
ResponderBorrarLo más preocupante es que el 94% de esta mancha está compuesta por microplásticos, partículas diminutas que no son biodegradables y que representan una amenaza significativa para la vida marina . Estos desechos provienen en su mayoría de actividades humanas, como el uso excesivo de plásticos de un solo uso y prácticas pesqueras irresponsables.
Este fenómeno no solo afecta a los ecosistemas marinos, sino que también tiene implicaciones directas para los seres humanos, ya que los microplásticos pueden ingresar a la cadena alimentaria.

The featured video on the Ecoprovenza blog, titled "World Environment Day," offers a profound reflection on the issue of plastic pollution in the oceans. Contrary to the common belief that there is a visible "garbage island" in the Pacific, the video clarifies that it is actually a diffuse vortex made up mainly of waste from the fishing industry.
This perspective dispels the myth that ocean pollution is solely the result of "irresponsible littering," instead pointing to systemic mismanagement of waste as the primary cause.
Additionally, the video emphasizes that recycling, while important, is not enough to tackle the plastic crisis, as only a small fraction of ocean plastics are recyclable. It highlights the need to reduce plastic production and to simplify the chemical composition of plastic materials.
The growing problem of microplastics—originating from tires, textiles, and paints—is also addressed, as they contaminate even the most remote areas.
In the context of World Environment Day, the video makes an urgent call for structural changes, industrial accountability, and stronger global policies to combat this crisis at its root. It is an invitation to reflect and take collective action to protect our marine ecosystems and ensure a sustainable future.

La Gran Mancha de Basura en el Océano
ResponderBorrarEs un reflejo de nuestra cultura del descarte: una gigantesca sopa de microplásticos, de basura que contamina aguas importantes para el planeta. Esta acumulación masiva, que es alimentada por nuestros desechos mal gestionados, asfixia y daña irreparablemente la vida marina, convirtiendo el océano azul en un vertedero. Es la cruda consecuencia de nuestra despreocupación, un recordatorio de que nuestras acciones y desiciones tienen un eco devastador en los ecosistemas marinos y más. En esta reflexión busco crear una conciencia y una acción de nosotros los culpables de esto, para sanar nuestro planeta y proteger nuestros hermosos ecosistemas.

The video about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch shows how plastic pollution seriously harms marine life and the environment. Most of the waste comes from human activities and ends up in the ocean, affecting animals like turtles and birds. We must reduce plastic use and take care of our planet before it’s too late. Isabel Sofia Becerra Murallas 11-1
ResponderBorrarIt's important to recognize the different threats (macroplastics and microplastics) because they can't be measured and managed in the same way. Furthermore, the corruption of large-scale plastic products blames ordinary people and promotes recycling, but also the indiscriminate use of these plastics.
ResponderBorrarWe need to find new options to replace the objects we use every day that are made of plastic with others that are completely natural and biodegradable. This way, we will reduce plastic consumption and pollution.

Este video me hizo replantearme muchas de mis creencias sobre la contaminación por plástico en los océanos. Siempre pensé que el principal problema eran las botellas o bolsas que usamos a diario, pero desconocía el enorme impacto de la industria pesquera. Ver los datos y darme cuenta de la frecuencia con la que nos centramos solo en acciones individuales sin impulsar cambios más amplios me sorprendió. Creo que todos deberían verlo para comprender mejor el problema y exigir soluciones más justas y efectivas.

Mi reflexión: Sobre el video de la gran mancha del pacifico o más bien la gran mancha de la basura del pacifico del plástico. Estos desechos marino compuesto principalmente por el plástico; Flotan en el océano, y sigue creciendo debido a las industrias pesqueras y contaminación de basura de uso diario esto nos hace cuestionar que no debemos botar la basura o envoltorios como plástico y botellas que utilicemos a diario para no afectar la vida marina y los ecosistemas y la salud humana, porque las microplanticas pueden ingresar a la cadena alimenticia.
Para solucionar debe tener la iniciativa de reducir, el uso del plástico y campañas de limpieza a los oceanos; reciclar, correctamente y apoyar las reglas ambientales

My reflection: Regarding the video of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, or rather the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, made of plastic. This marine debris is composed primarily of plastic. It floats in the ocean and continues to grow due to fishing industries and pollution from everyday trash. This makes us question why we shouldn't throw away trash or packaging like plastic and bottles that we use every day to avoid affecting marine life, ecosystems, and human health, because microplants can enter the food chain. To solve this problem, we must take the initiative to reduce plastic use and carry out ocean cleanup campaigns; recycle correctly and support environmental regulations.

Cada año, toneladas de residuos plásticos terminan en el mar, afectando gravemente a la vida marina. Tortugas, peces y aves confunden el plástico con alimento, lo que provoca su muerte por asfixia o intoxicación. además los microplásticos, que son fragmentos diminutos de plástico, se esparcen por todo el océano.

Reflexión
ResponderBorrarA menudo nos han contado una versión distorsionada sobre la contaminación plástica en los océanos, culpando al ciudadano común mientras se oculta el papel crucial de industrias como la pesquera y grandes marcas. La verdad es más compleja y menos visible: la mayoría del plástico no proviene del "arrojar basura", sino del mal manejo sistémico de desechos. No basta con reciclar; necesitamos repensar nuestro consumo y exigir responsabilidad a quienes realmente contaminan.
My reflection: The video and text about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch reveal an alarming reality: the problem of plastic in the oceans goes beyond insufficient recycling; it stems from an unsustainable model of production and consumption. This “island of garbage” is not visible, as many believe, but rather a vortex of microplastics, mostly from the fishing industry and poorly managed waste. It's concerning that only a small portion of plastic is recyclable, while the rest pollutes the planet for centuries. The solution is not just recycling, but drastically reducing plastic production, demanding simpler and less harmful chemical components, and promoting structural changes in environmental policies.
ResponderBorrarThis World Environment Day should be a call to urgent action. The planet’s future depends on bold decisions that tackle this crisis at its root.

We’ve often been told a distorted version of ocean plastic pollution, blaming ordinary people while hiding the major role of industries like fishing and big brands. The truth is more complex and less visible: most plastic doesn’t come from littering, but from systemic mismanagement of waste. Recycling is not enough; we need to rethink our consumption and hold the real polluters accountable.

The garbage island was the reason that brought attention to the presence of plastic in the oceans. The ocean has become a garbage dump, and the wrong people are being blamed. Ocean plastic is a lie because it looks really different. Fake photos are being used because the reality isn't as exciting, since all the plastic isn't just for domestic use, but also comes from fishing industries.
ResponderBorrarCleanup and care for marine life isn't progressing; everything has remained based on research and scientific opinions. They say the Pacific slick was close to the coastal area and not far out at sea. Packaging, plastic packaging, and household items are being dumped near the coast, although the largest percentage of the problem has been due to poor waste management, some dumped, others burned, and others discarded in the environment. Coca-Cola has been the biggest polluter for six consecutive years, and only 56 companies are responsible for half of the world's plastic pollution.
Global recycling is only 10%. This is not enough to mitigate the damage. It's because of the low collection rates that we need to find other solutions. It's not that we should stop recycling; it's better to stop consuming plastic.
Microplastics found in polyester, plastic clothing, tires, textiles, and paint are another big problem, as it is not possible to accurately measure microplastic pollution, nor can they be measured by objects that decompose in the ocean.
The promises made by governments and companies for years have not worked. Today, we are at a crucial moment. The solution is to reduce plastic production. In 2024, there will be more production and also more plastic waste. Fossil fuels and petro-states, along with oil companies, defend plastic without regard for the health of children and the population. The solution is to reduce production and simplify the chemicals in plastic.
Be mindful of not using single-use plastics to stop the destruction of life on our planet.

ResponderBorrarPlastic pollution is a multifaceted problem that requires approach. It's not enough to just recycle and blame individual consumers; it's essential to examine the production and distribution practices of large industries. The video reveals how the plastic industry has perpetuated an unsustainable system, prioritizing mass production over sustainability and responsible waste management. Additionally, the political influence of the oil and plastic industry hinders the implementation of effective regulations. Therefore, it's crucial that we demand transparency and accountability from companies, support policies that promote the reduction of plastic production, and promote sustainable alternatives. This problem requires a systemic change that involves all actors, from consumers to governments and businesses, to achieve a cleaner and more sustainable future.

It seems this problem of plastics and microplastics is something that is getting out of hand. It is sad to think that recycling is not enough to combat this problem that harms us all, however, it is obvious that companies do not consider reducing plastic production.
ResponderBorrarTo take good good sore to that, he will always see a light of hope if humanity proposes it, because everything is not finished, but it will be very difficult if we continue to support the main pollutants of the oceans.

No podemos culpar solo a las personas por tirar basura. La verdad es que mucho plástico llega al océano por un mal manejo general de los desechos en el mundo. Es un problema de cómo se fabrican y manejan los productos plásticos a gran escala.
ResponderBorrarY el reciclaje, aunque es bueno y debemos hacerlo, no es la solución mágica. Solo una pequeña parte del plástico que termina en el mar se puede reciclar. Esto significa que necesitamos ir más allá de solo reciclar.
Además, hay un problema creciente con los microplásticos. Son pedacitos de plástico tan pequeños que casi no se ven, y vienen de cosas como llantas de carros, nuestra ropa (cuando la lavamos) y pinturas. Estos microplásticos están llegando a todas partes, incluso a los lugares más lejanos y limpios del planeta.

ResponderBorrarWe can't just blame people for littering. The truth is that a lot of plastic ends up in the ocean due to poor waste management globally. It's a problem of how plastic products are manufactured and handled on a large scale. And recycling, while it's good and we should do it, isn't a magic solution. Only a small portion of the plastic that ends up in the sea can be recycled. This means we need to go beyond just recycling. Additionally, there's a growing problem with microplastics. They're tiny pieces of plastic that are almost invisible, and they come from things like car tires, our clothing (when we wash it), and paints. These microplastics are getting everywhere, even to the most remote and pristine places on the planet.

Mi reflexión es que el plástico que tiramos muchas veces termina en los océanos, dañando a los animales y al agua que todos necesitamos. En el Día del Medio Ambiente, debemos pensar en cómo nuestras acciones afectan al planeta.
ResponderBorrarNo es solo reciclar o limpiar, sino cambiar hábitos para evitar más contaminación. Cada pequeño cambio cuenta, porque cuidar el medio ambiente es cuidar nuestro hogar y el futuro de todos.

Me parece muy impactante como nos hace ver que no es solo un simple plastico botado por ahi, si no que va muchisimo más allá, somos ignorantes deberiamos conocer mas del tema por que es algo que mas adelante nos puede costar caro, y me pareció muy interesante lo de que la pintura es plástico, conoci muchas cosas que no tenia ni idea de que era asi
ResponderBorrarNos invita a ser mas conscientes y para que el mundo sea diferente, primero tenemos que conocer sobre esa problemática y dejar de ser ignorantes, desde que vi el video ya los plásticos no son un simple plástico y me parece interesante que la pintura es plástico me hace pensar ¿Que otras cosas mas seran puro plastico? Pensar que podemos estar haciendo cosas que ni siquera sabemos que hacen daño.

Hello!
ResponderBorrarThank you for sharing this thoughtful and meaningful post about World Environment Day. It’s so important to stop and reflect on how our everyday actions affect the planet, and I think you did a great job reminding us of that. I really admire how your school is creating awareness, not just by talking about environmental issues, but by encouraging students to take real, positive steps.
It’s inspiring to see young people getting involved and learning how to be responsible citizens of the world. These kinds of initiatives, no matter how small they may seem, can spark bigger changes over time. The message of working together for a greener future is something we all need to hear more often.
Keep up the amazing work — you’re making a real difference!

This video is a powerful and eye-opening reminder of the urgent environmental crisis we are facing due to plastic pollution. It clearly explains how microplastics coming from everyday sources like tires, synthetic clothing, and paints are now found in oceans, rivers, soil, and even the air we breathe. What’s especially impactful is how the video goes beyond just highlighting the problem and calls out the failure of global waste management systems and the myth that recycling alone can solve this issue.
ResponderBorrarIt was striking to learn how much of the plastic pollution is invisible, yet so deeply integrated into our environment and food chains. The message that we need not just individual action but real change in the way products are made and used is essential. Governments, industries, and consumers must work together to push for sustainable alternatives, stronger policies, and less dependency on plastics.
This video is not only informative but also inspiring. It encourages us to reflect on our habits and the kind of world we want to leave for future generations.
