- Try clicking on the various channels to see videos posted to that channel - if you're into music you can click the Music channel to get more music sifts - go on and explore! Use the "hotness" when you have opened the channel link to get videos that have gotten a lot of votes, or use "newness" to have a look at the new sifts.

  Enter the Sift Lounge to chat with online sifters about anything and everything, or read interesting posts in the Sift Talk forum.
  The Top New Videos list is always full of interesting, current videos. It is always recommended that you have a look through the Top New Videos, but also have a look at these:
  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?
  Post and share it here - VideoSift is the best video aggregator on the Web, where we share, discuss, promote, and interact with the best videos out there on the web. Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

Synthetic Sea - Plastic in the open ocean

submitted by kronosposeidon

1 decade 6 years 11 months ago

In some parts of the ocean plastic waste exceeds plankton by a weight ratio of 6 to 1. It's wreaking havoc on the marine food chain, creating more problems for us. Happy New Year.

whaddrya gonna do? If everyone in Europe and the U.S> stopped using petroleum products right now....you still got over a billion plus in China, who could give a fuck worse than any American or European combined......then ya got yer countries that are 50-75 years behind in education and infrastructure.....WE'RE FUCKED!!!

"no such thing as biodegradation of petroleum-based, manufactured plastic"

-but your own hypocritical hubris will have you reaching for a Mountain Dew, using a plasty hankie for yer baby's bum, or fuck all, buying anything with money.....seriously folks, it's dance naked with strangers and spend yer retirement while yer well fit time....cause no one will do anything to stop it, eh?
We need to teach an entire generation not to act like raccoons and parrots, the thieving monkeys have instructed the rest of the apes in their ways, and command them to obey their example.....
