Aqua Seafoam Shame is a critically acclaimed documentary with multiple nominations which explores the horrific diagnosis that 25% of our planet's surface is now garbage landfill, due to the pacific garbage patch and plastics. In 20 years our world could end up with no coral reefs - which means our oceans will revert back to the primordial sludge it was before creatures walked on land. What, if anything, can be done to backpedal the Earth from this cataclysmic trajectory?
Scary stats:
- 90% of the big fish in the sea and 20% of our coral reefs have gone extinct
- 12% of our land is protected but less than 1% of our oceans are
- 20 Billion pounds of plastic end up in the seas each year
- 46,000 pieces of plastic are in every square mile of ocean
One critic hails it as possibly the most important documentary ever made.
I have seen Veronica Grey on TV a lot - someday I would like to see Kim Chiasson who co-directed AND edited "Aqua Seafoam Shame." Surely she deserves as much gratitude!
