00:00The plastic pollution has all the forms.

00:02For example, what is your favorite?

00:05It's the mucus of the medus.

00:09It's the polyester.

00:11It's the residue of your machine.

00:14And little by little, it's been done in the ocean.

00:17And we, our operation, it's extremely bad.

00:19So it goes through the mails of the filet, entre guillemets.

00:22What is also very interesting,

00:24is these platforms,

00:26where we see that there is relatively little plastic.

00:28But the plastic is, entre guillemets,

00:30dissous at the inside,

00:31and it becomes a chemical pollution.

00:33It's the one that we find in abundance in the Méditerranée?

00:35Exactly.

00:36It's the one that we find everywhere.

00:37It's the one that we find in the animals.

00:39It's the one that we find in the animals.

00:41It's the one that we find in the animals,

00:42etc.

00:43And it's pathogenic.

00:45In fact, it's not to confuse degradation and disparaging.

00:47It's not to feel like the plastic becomes smaller,

00:50that it disappears and that it is less toxic.

00:52And of course, in terms of different types of plastics,

00:55there are different times of life.

00:57And there are plastic,

00:58so we don't even know when they really disappear.

01:01In average,

01:03there are three microplastics

01:05per meter cube of water

01:07in the floods of Europe.

01:09And the major conclusion is that

01:11there are plastic absolutely everywhere,

01:13even where the man doesn't go.

01:16And so,

01:17the message that brings the Foundation on the subject,

01:19it's the first thing,

01:20and the most important thing,

01:21it's to reduce.

01:22And the second thing,

01:23it's to reuse the most possible,

01:25so that it's to always less produce.

01:27And the third thing,

01:28it's to recycle.

01:29But only in the third thing.

01:31All right.
