Hi everybody, this is David Pinsky with Greenpeace out here in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

Thanks so much for following along at home.

Today we successfully retrieved a Coca-Cola bottle.

As you can see, there is the branded cap right here.

Coca-Cola is also etched into the side of the bottle and from the writing on it,

it looks like it may have originated from Southeast Asia.

Of course we'll confirm that as soon as we can.

So whether it's big or small and you can't see it, plastics should not be in our environment

and we need to see companies like Coca-Cola taking responsibility for this plastics crisis.

So you can join us by following along at home.

Make sure that you sign the petition that goes to companies like Coca-Cola and Nestle and

Unilever and PepsiCo. to demand that they take immediate action to reduce their

single-use plastics footprints.

Feel free to share this and please we'll have this photo.

We'd love for you to retweet it or regram it and on Facebook as well.

Thanks so much and stay tuned for more.

How U.S. elections are unique - Duration: 1:32.

Nothing symbolizes democratic government more than the vote.

Behind me is the polling place where I vote on Election Day.

On Election Day, there's a long line outside the door.

Election Day is the last day of the campaign.

In the case of the United States, it's the last day of a very long campaign.

We have a marathon campaign.

That's different than European campaigns.

They last a few weeks.

In the United States, they last for months and months.

One reason for that is that we have primary elections.

Candidates have to run first in the primary.

And if they win, then they run in the general election.

European democracies do not have primaries.

American campaigns differ also in other ways.

If you're watching an American campaign on television, you'll see lots and lots of televised

political ads.

Some democracies prohibit or ban the use of televised ads.

Others restrict the time period in which they can be shown.

Another way in which American elections differ is that they are a lot more expensive.

Federal campaign now in the United States will cost more than a billion dollars that's

20 times what a campaign would cost in Germany or Britain or Spain.

Make no mistake, there is an American way of conducting elections.
