In Kenya, being caught with a plastic bag can land you with a fine of $38,000 USD or four years in jail. Since the introduction of these extreme laws, innovators have responded in amazing and unexpected ways. One group of local fisherman in Lamu are building a giant sailing ship entirely from plastic waste. They intend to sail the Indian Ocean to raise awareness about marine plastic pollution.

As plastic continues to be one of the most widely used resources, some communities are taking it into their own hands to raise awareness about plastic pollution. What are your thoughts on this unique boat and its message?
That moment when the boat sinks and you damage the eviorment
I was thinking we could melt recycled plastic to make pots !
Ban Plastic bag, yeah tell the american that!
He's a modern Hero. The new 'Wangari Maathi'. Hope you can market your idea before someone else does. Peace n power.
Simple kill 3 quarters of planets population no plastic problem and ozone should repair.The worlds ozone is the really issue to much sun penetration
GOD BLESS YOU GUY'S
Beautiful cinematography, and the message is even more important
Would laminating the plastic for main beams and spars make it less breakable?
Products of hemp can 100% replace plastic bags and more. Plastic pollution was the entire fault of DuPont Corporation since the early thirties.
Great idea. Great innovation. This will help all countries to get rid of plastic menace
Pot kak, Dom konte gaan fokken sink
This is such a badass short film on Kenya.
What an incredible film. If all countries could follow suit we could change the world!
Came to see the boat, hardly saw the boat :C
Look at the poor country😭they are trying to save the earth
But some rich country just do not care about it
<3
Ty Kenyan family. Love Peace Resist from Canada 🙂
All it takes is for one person. One person. One. To change the world. To make a difference. To challenge the road to take and face the wars that will come. One person! This time, this person was James Wakibia!! Thank you James, you're an inspiration.
Thanks for your inspiration and please don't accept waste from no other country.
to me plastic in the enviroment shouldn't be there or called "trash" to me plastic is a resource. we capture it (for the sea its by just drinking the ocean with a platorm" separate then turn it into something useful.
people i one question
if you see plastic in bushes or anywhere that isn't a bin
1 do you pick it up or do you just leave it and why do you make that choice be honest i have an idea i need your imformation to create it.
The dramatic music and excessive philosophizing is a bit over-the-top.
Smart way to recycle plastic waste
There's just one big problem to solve then: micro and nano plastics that rub off all those recycled products.
Marvelous job keep it up lamunians
In my country pakistan govt ban on polythene bags un major big cities but the implementation of this rule is big deal but its good to c that govts are taking actions against this more dangerous pandemic then corona
Africa will become the next power house they stay out of this next world war, head down into this solution. America is falling behind in this aspect due to no good labor, and China is busy on the capitalism fake products game. Russia is still on their own wave of the long process of becoming first world, and Australia is keeping to themselves.
I am serious, Africa can clean up it's political issues, and fix the world plastic problem, and they will become the richest in the world. But, let us not forget history and greed. Balance.
Thank you for filming this. Awareness is key to protecting our planet from pollution.
So your telling me people would rather sit on their phones all day instead of helping the world 🌎.(really come on guys we are the next generation I know I sound like a Nagy teacher but we need change )
We can make plastic guns with plastic bullets!!
Yeah cause reusing all this plastic in a marine environment wont add to the microplastics problem??
Africa will show the way
If small country like Kenya facing this imagine how our huge nation become a giant dustbin… please do something
please ek like apni maa ki lambi umar ke liye 💘💋💗💝💞💌💟❤💓💜🖤💖❣❣💛😍😇🤩😊😎🏵💮🌸💐
