Addicted To Plastic
This is a feature-length documentary about solutions to plastic pollution. The point-of-view style documentary encompasses three years of filming in 12 countries on 5 continents, including two trips to the middle of the Pacific Ocean where plastic debris accumulates. The film details plastic’s path over the last 100 years and provides a wealth of expert interviews on practical and cutting edge solutions to recycling, toxicity and biodegradability. These solutions – which include plastic made from plants – will provide viewers with a hopeful perspective about our future with plastic.Addicted to Plastic from Charlie Williams on Vimeo.

Please share your thoughts on the documentary that you've just seen. Love it? Hate it? The best documentaries are the ones that stimulate debate within yourself. Share your thoughts!
This would probably make a good documentary if the narrator wasn't so full of himself. From the very beginning he tried to make himself look good and brave. "Oh, it was so dangerous. Oh no-one would come to rescue us if something happened." Why even mention that shit? Ruins the documentary for me.
Oh c'mon Bendik! Have just the slightest bit of patience will you?
This was one of the best documentaries I've seen here. Well, it was one of the most interesting to me I should say. It's especially relevant to consumer cultures, which I'm assuming most of the people who view this site come from.
The images are beautiful. Scenes shot from all over the world. The ocean too. Plus the bright colors of all the different plastics. Then at different recycling plants, those plastics melting down into goo and being reformed.
Tons of good information, lots of eye candy, important message, captivating. Great documentary. Oh, and video quality is top notch too.
Fuck Megaviedo; cutting me off 15 minutes before the end.
Anyone having issues with MegaVideo's limitations needs to do this:
1) Use FireFox instead of Internet Explorer
2) Install the plugin available here:

3) Enjoy the films.

"Oh, it was so dangerous. Oh no-one would come to rescue us if something happened."
Judging from some of the comments I'm left wondering if I logged onto YouTube by mistake. Isn't that where the "I-didn't-watch-this-but-it-sucked" advocates reside?
This would be a decent documentary if it had been produced by the BBC or Discovery. But, when one considers that it was made by a couple of regular guys that sacrificed two years of their lives to raise awareness regarding a serious subject that most people know nothing about, it's far better than merely decent…
… This award winning documentary is actually pretty damn good and more than a little enlightening.
Sure, plastic poses a bit of a problem.
But relative to the death, destruction, violence, corruption and wealth destruction wrought by governments and religions around the world, plastic should be number 10,0000 on our list of priorities
Well thank you RyanC for such a profound statement. Please, go out and rectify those more important ills of the world, then come on back and let us know when you're all done!!
As for the film; I'm giving it a 5 fer 5 stars, DL ! (and I'm star stingy)
just curious, Ryan; what does "wealth destruction wrought by governments and religions around the world" mean ???
I enjoyed this one quite a lot. Both eye-opening, and inspirational, in terms of what is being done around the world to fix this problem.
Wish it wasn't on Megavideo, though – I listen to these at work, which means I'm limited in what I can download or fiddle with, so none of the previously mentioned workarounds really work for me.
i bet RyanC didn't even watch the documentary
I know plastics are toxic and a major problem. I recently took an upper level college course called "contemporary environmental issues" and we found that all the plastics building up in the Pacific are actually creating landmasses that sea creatures can inhabit. The plastics are creating new habitats.
Also, the plankton per unit in comparison to plastic particulate collected is not very scientific. You're not going to find a lot of plankton if it isn't spring…and also your not in the arctic off the NW coast, that's why whales spend 4 months swimming through the pacific to reach the north…that's where the plankton blooms are.
I am more concerned with toxins in plastic such as BPA. However I can't tell if the doc is going to go into that because after 61 minutes of viewing the player cut off =P
U r soooo wrong RyanC
wow! great documentary. Full of facts. Perfect to teach friends and family about some of the toxic and environmental dangers in our world =)
Really comprehensive doc. Great to use in the classroom. Anyone know if there is a version with spanish subtitles?
This is the King Corn of plastic. The documentary is a rehashing of information some of us already know and try to work toward solving yet, it is a great medium for bringing information to people who aren’t aware of the extent of the damage plastics have on our planet. We all know plastics are detrimental to our environment but, many people also assume throwing packaging into the recycling bin is the greatest effort that can be made to decreasing the amount of waste produced. This is a strange comfort zone that can be extremely difficult to escape.
I love how documentaries such as this cater to people who might not be aware of the severity of the damage they’re unwittingly doing to themselves and their progeny. However, other individuals might not find this documentary scientific enough….It’s a great introductory piece :)
IF only there was a legal duty on manufacturers to warn their consumers of the harms to humans, environment, animals that are associated with the manufacturing of their products. Maybe that would invoke ethical consumerism?
