Plastic Pollution and the Pristine Arctic

Plastic waste is increasing in the once ‘pristine’ wilderness of the Arctic. Scientists say almost everywhere they have looked in the Arctic Ocean, they’ve found plastic pollution. In the northern fjords of Norway, one man is on a mission to pick up as much plastic as he can. But could bottle deposit schemes help turn the tide? Norway’s decades-old bottle deposit system is the best in the world – but is it enough if the rest of the world doesn’t take action? A duo of two short films take a look at both the problem and a possible solution to the world’s plastic pollution.
