Maud Fontenoy’s alert in “TPMP”

Sail around the world against the current or row across the Pacific Ocean. It’s the daily life of the sailor Maud Fontenoyguest on the set of Cyril Hanouna on the occasion of his latest project. She went to Polynesia to make a documentary there Blue, an ocean of solutions airing soon on Canal +.

In all his projects, one objective relentlessly comes up: to show that man is capable of realizing dreams bigger than himself, including the preservation of the oceans. “It is strange to think that life arose from the sea and that the sea is now threatened by one of the forms of this life”is surprised the navigator in his work Ocean women, these heroines who take us to sea. Géraldine Maillet then questions her about the current state of things and the actions to be taken to improve the situation.

“We produced plastic for everything and anything”

“I really believe in our ability to do, to change, to act bit by bit. But the problem is gigantic, we cannot deny it., begins Maud Fontenoy before focusing her remarks more specifically on plastic. She explains that in the 1950s, the use of this material was much less. At that time, two million tons of plastic per year were produced compared to 360 million tons per year today. “We produced plastic for everything and anything […] it is raising awareness that we must do with manufacturers to change things”recommends the sailor.

“Everything that we leave in nature reaches the sea and therefore joins your plate. Today, you drink the same water that the dinosaurs drank – because it’s all a circle – but you can no longer decontaminate this water.We eat the equivalent of a plastic credit card per week and per person. Maud Fontenoy recommends preserving the oceans out of “selfishness”, explaining that the waste not picked up on the beaches comes back to our plates at some point. A speech that seems to make the columnists think, particularly silent during his intervention.
