MOST OF TODAY´S TV PROGRAMS ARE NOT WHAT WE WOULD CALL INSPIRING. MOST OF THE FILMS ON TV AT WEEKENDS ARE KIND OF HORROR FILMS ALTHOUGH THEY ARE NOT CATEGORIZED AS SUCH, BUT JUST BY LISTENING TO THE BACKGROUND MUSIC AND LISTEN TO SOME OF THE SCRIPT LINES FOR JUST A COUPLE OF MINUTES IT´S ENOUGH TO CHANGE CHANNELS. ANYONE CAN TELL THEY ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR WHAT WE WOULD ALL LIKE TO SEE AT WEEKENDS. IT´S CLEAR CMTGS ARE ALL OVER THE DIFFERENT MEDIA AROUND THE GLOBE AND ARE BEHIND ALL THOSE MANEUVERS TO PLEASE US ALL.
THERE ARE SO MANY IMPORTANT ISSUES TO ADDRESS AND TALK ABOUT IN THE MEDIA AND YET THE NEWS HIGHLIGHT THE SAME NEWS DAY IN AND DAY OUT. ONE OF THOSE ISSUES WHICH SHOULD BE COVERED MOST EVERY DAY IS THE ONE OF PLASTIC WASTE IN THE OCEANS. ACCORDING TO YOUTUBE: OCEANS: THE MYSTERY OF THE PLASTIC GONE, IN 1950 1.5 TONS OF PLASTIC WAS PRODUCED WHILE TODAY IT´S 300.000 MILLION TONS A YEAR. ACCORDING TO KARA LAVENDER-LAW´S STUDY THERE ARE 275 MILLION TONS OF PLASTIC IN ALL THE OCEANS AROUND THE WORLD BUT THAT NUMBER ONLY REPRESENTS 1% OF ALL THE PLASTIC IN THE OCEANS, WHICH CANNOT BE FOUND BUT IT´S AT THE BOTTOMS OF THE OCEANS, OR GOING IN CIRCLES IN THE SO CALLED OCEANIC GYRES. ENGINEER JENNA JAMBECK (GEORGIA UNIVERSITY, U.S.), AFTER A THREE AND HALF YEAR RESEARCH, GAVE THE FOLLOWING RESULTS BASED ON 192 COUNTRIES ALONG A 50 KM PERIMETER: IN 2010 THERE WERE 275 MILLION TONS OF PLASTIC WASTE, AND 32 MILLION TONS OF THOSE WERE BADLY MANAGED ( NEITHER BURIED, INCINERATED NOR RECYCLED) AND 8 MILLION TONS OUT OF THOSE 32 ENDED UP IN THE OCEANS. TODAY THERE ARE 50.000 MILLION MICRO PLASTIC UNITS ALONG THE OCEANS´ SURFACE. ACCORDING TO RESEARCHERS AFTER SOME TIME FLOATING ALONG THE OCEANS´ SURFACE MICRO PLASTIC UNITS, WHICH ARE ABOUT 5 MILLIMETERS, DISAPPEAR.
WHY AREN´T WE GETTING DEBATES ABOUT THE SOLUTIONS TO SOLVE SUCH IMPORTANT ISSUE FOR EVERYONE? IS IT BECAUSE CMTGS ARE SOME OF THE BIG CHEESES BEHIND THE PLASTIC INDUSTRY?
