Trash Beach
From toys, to shampoo bottles, to bread wrappers, to car parts, to our shoes and clothes, plastic is everywhere!
But what happens to all that plastic when we are done with it? Where does it end up? People have said that 90% of plastic ever produced is still around today. See the unexpected place Pierre has found our plastic leftovers.
Across the Pacific Ocean and the other great oceans of the world, we find huge piles of garbage collecting along the shorelines - and at the centers of huge ocean currents as they circulate.
Many animals are killed by this trash, this garbage of rope and nets and bottles and shoes - all the stuff we forget, that washes out to sea.
Pierrre and Krista find these on the South Point of the Big Island of Hawai'i.

Think Like A Forest
In the forest there is no such thing as garbage! Everything works together without harming anybody. They find ways to get along because they need each other. Pierre talks about how people can learn to think like a forest.
When we think like a forest, we seen many things newly. We see that waste does not exist, we can make our own food, and we can take only what we need - no more. We see that all living things have a right to live their lives, too. We see how to live together, and we see how to run a business - all by thinking like a forest.
Oil on the Beach: The Oil is Gone - But The Tar Sticks to Pierre!
Pierre has found a place in California where the oil has run out, leaving nothing but a sticky mess of tar pouring out onto the beach, and it sticks all over Pierre. This is just like oil wells around the world that are running dry now - so new fuels are needed, that do not damage the world.
Pierre Terre Follows The Water
In this very old video, Pierre follows rivers from their first spring, all the way to the ocean, showing how water is used and how wastes, wetlands and the ocean act in watersheds.
Fun and instructional - made especially for children.
