Agreed with everything in it, but...

The director/narrator became self-obsessed and started doing stupid things to prove his point. One of them is copying Michael Moore and go after the CEO of European Plastics or something like that. It doesn't matter if plastic kills or PVC is bad for your lungs. If you don't know how to deliver the message you won't make any difference.

He tends to repeat his point over and over until you start to get sleepy. And no, I don't work for any plastic manufacturer. The movie can help you see what we're doing to the oceans and landfills, that's for sure, but again, that Austrian director simply doesn't know how to convey his message properly.

i didnt get tired and i think he was pretty brave and i was able to see how evasive this powerful plastic ceo behaved, confirming the point

Well, I skipped some things, like his pursue.

The part with the ocean shocked me. I live by the sea and also often see plastic litter on the beach (gets cleaned though) but I didnt know that its tiny pieces are in every ocean in way larger concentration than plankton.

If I had to sort out plastic from by flat, it would almost be everything.
Even the buttons of my oven are plastic. My lamps have plastic. My washing machine too. Never thought about that and I doubt the organic plastic will change sth there.
Who wants his things to rot away? xD

I dont use plastic bags.
And I dont throw litter in the nature unless its sth like the leftover of an apple.
