They have no care
for the world they destroy...

1:30:02
...only for the money
they make in the process.

1:30:05
How many oil spills can we endure?
1:30:08
Millions and millions of gallons of oil...
1:30:10
...are destroying the ocean
and the many forms of life it supports.

1:30:13
Among these is plankton, which supplies
60 to 90% of the earth's oxygen.

1:30:18
It supports the entire marine ecosystem...
1:30:20
...which forms the basis
of our planet's food supply.

1:30:24
But the plankton is dying.
1:30:26
I thought, "Well, let's go
to some remote state or country...

1:30:29
"...anywhere on earth."
1:30:31
But in doing a little research, I realized...
1:30:33
...that these people broker toxic waste
all over the world.

1:30:37
They basically control the legislation and,
in fact, they control the law.

1:30:41
The law says no company
can be fined over $25,000 a day.

1:30:46
If a company's making $10 million a day...
1:30:48
...by dumping lethal toxic waste
into the ocean...

1:30:51
...it's only good business
to continue doing this.

1:30:54
They influence the media
so that they can control our minds.

1:30:57
They've made it a crime
to speak out for ourselves.

1:30:59
If we do so, we're called conspiracy nuts
and we're laughed at.

1:31:02
We're angry because we're all being
chemically and genetically damaged...

1:31:06
...and we don't even realize it.
1:31:08
Unfortunately, this will affect our children.
1:31:11
We go to work each day
and right under our noses...

1:31:13
...we see our car and the car in front of us
spewing noxious, poisonous gases...

1:31:18
...that are all accumulative poisons.
1:31:20
These poisons kill us slowly,
even when we see no effect.

1:31:24
How many of us would've believed
if we were told 20 years ago...

1:31:28
...that on a certain day we wouldn't be able
to see 50 feet in front of us...

1:31:32
...that we wouldn't be able
to take a deep breath...

1:31:34
...because the air would be a mass
ofpoisonous gas.

1:31:37
That we couldn't drink out of our faucets...
1:31:39
...that we'd have to buy water
out of bottles.

1:31:42
Our most common and God-given rights
have been taken away from us.

1:31:46
Unfortunately...
1:31:47
...the reality of our lives is so grim
that nobody wants to hear it.

1:31:51
I've been asked what we can do.
1:31:53
I think we need a responsible body
of people that can actually represent us...

1:31:58
...rather than big business.
1:31:59
This body ofpeople must not allow...
