The Story of Plastic Animated Short
Plastic is made from oil and fracked gas, harming marginalized communities from the start due to extraction pollution. Fossil fuel giants are expanding plastic production, even as the current supply exceeds demand. Much of it ends up in unprepared communities across Asia, Africa, and Latin America. 32% of plastic ends up in nature, 40% in landfills, 14% is incinerated, and only 2% is effectively recycled. Recycling often fails, and incineration is toxic.
Dr. Shanna Swan Common Chemicals That Severely Alter Your Hormones
Dr. Shanna Swan reveals that sperm count has dropped by more than 50% in the past 50 years. The rate of decline has now doubled to 2.64% per year since 2000, a worrying trend with a global scope, confirmed by recent data from Asia, Africa, and South America.
It’s Not Just Shein: Why Are ALL Your Clothes Worse Now?
More Perfect Union revisits Abercrombie and finds it to be more affordable but significantly lower in quality, sparking curiosity about whether clothing quality has declined universally over time.
Dr. Shanna Swan A Global Fertility Crisis
Dr. Shanna Swan initially doubted claims of declining sperm count but after rigorous analysis of 61 studies, she confirmed a consistent and dramatic drop — nearly 59% from 1973 to 2011.
The Story of Bottled Water
Bottled water is marketed as purer and safer than tap water, but tests often reveal the opposite: tap water is cleaner, tastes better, and is far cheaper. Corporations created a false demand using fear, fantasy, and misinformation. Many bottled store-bought waters are made from filtered tap water. Producing plastic bottles consumes a massive amount of oil and energy. Disposal is worse: 80% of waste is landfilled or incinerated, releasing toxic waste. Much of the rest is downcycled or dumped abroad. With misleading ads and images of purity, companies obscure the truth about plastic pollution and the state of our water sources.
