These seas aren't going to save themselves.
In 2019,
The YouTube community united for TEAM TREES
And now, it's TEAM SEAS.
And to do our bit for TEAM SEAS,
we printed the biggest banners we could find,
rented the biggest sailboat we could find,
and we're gonna raise the biggest bridge we could find.
TEAM SEAS ASSEMBLE!
We gotta sort out this banner.
This is crazy.
Oh my gosh.
It's huge!
Look how pixelated the logo is.
Just be careful because the last thing we want to do
is drop this in the ocean.
Oh my gosh.
I hope the dolphins are grateful.
I think this is the biggest sailboat I've ever seen.
It's definitely the biggest one you can legally rent.
The River Thames.
The River Thames. At 24 hours notice.
We found out about this on Friday.
It's now Tuesday, and somehow this has happened.
Well, the thing is, when Mr. Beast calls.
You answer.
Look at all the people!
They're the first ones to see TEAM SEAS.
Look at us influencing.
TEAMSEAS.ORG
First converts. Sorted.
We managed to arrange to do something completely insane,
that I had no idea was possible,
but you need to make sure we leave in eleven minutes
if we're going to make it in time.
Alright, Ollie. Here you are.
To me.
Perfect.
Just setting up some GoPros.
We get one shot to influence everyone,
And if we miss that shot,
who knows what'll happen?
Cameras all rolling.
I think we're ready to go, we're pushing off from dock.
Me and Josh now need to get changed.
See you in a bit.
Good luck.
We got this.
How do I shut the door?
Damn it.
It's showtime.
We're getting close.
Look at it.
One of the most iconic bridges in the world.
Easily the most famous bridge in the world.
That and the Golden Gate.
You can't raise the Golden Gate, though.
That's true.
Nice. Perfect.
We are ready to make a splash.
We're ready.
TEAMSEAS.ORG
I just got a text from one of our team,
saying they're already clearing the bridge.
To raise it.
Oh yeah, there's like hardly anyone on it.
It's kind of overwhelming. This whole experience.
This is mental.
OK. Don't hold me like that.
That's weird.
Do you feel like you're flying?
That's weird.
Just gonna take a step back.
Got very weird, very quickly there.
TEAMSEAS is an initiative to get plastic out of the sea.
Last year, for the first time,
there was more items of plastic in the sea than there are fish.
What? They surveyed turtles.
100% of turtles had plastic in their stomach.
They didn't like give them a poll,
and they made them answer questions
because it kinda sounds like that's what they.. - Yeah, probably.
There's a bloody giant floating slag of plastic
in the Pacific Ocean that's bigger than Texas.
It's a huge problem.
They're aiming to raise 30 million dollars
to take 30 million pounds of plastic out of the oceans,
which as a British person is confusing
because we don't operate in dollars.
We're raising pounds for pounds.
Pounds for pounds.
Well, technically a pound would,
it's slightly more than a dollar,
So it's a pound for more than a pound of plastic.
It's good value at that price, guys.
Can you afford not to give? Can't afford not to.
I've never seen Tower Bridge go up. Have you?
Only on like TV and stuff, never in person.
It's insane for the first time we see it,
we're going to be going underneath it.
That's the alarm.
It's going it's going!
Nemo, this is for you.
Sebastian, this is for you.
Porpoises around the world. This is for you.
This is for Popeye, Ariel and SpongeBob.
This is for Jaws. The shark from Sharknado two.
The Megalodon. It's even for seagulls.
I know that's probably an unpopular thing to say,
but one million seabirds die every year
because of plastic pollution.
Literally, they just cleared the bridge.
All the traffic has stopped.
There's like an eerie silence, as well.
Have you noticed that there's no sound of traffic?
Everyone's getting out their phones to take pictures.
They're getting ready.
This is like a tourist event,
It's like the changing of the guards.
It's going, it's going.
It's going up.
Grab the banner. Grab the banner.
Oh my gosh. It's happening.
For the dolphins, Ollie.
For the turtles.
Oh my gosh, I've never seen that in person.
- This is crazy. - That's mental.
We're raising awareness
by raising the world's most famous drawbridge.
Come on, this awareness isn't going to raise itself.
Oh my gosh.
- There's literally so many people on the bridge. - There's so many people.
All of London, has stopped and is watching.
We're raising Tower Bridge for TEAMSEAS.
Consider yourselves influenced.
Stop!
Go to TEAMSEAS.ORG!
30 million pounds of plastic out of the oceans.
Go to TEAMSEAS.ORG!
I've haddock enough of this! Oh my gosh.
Go to TEAMSEAS dot org!
For cod's sake, let's clean up the oceans.
Wow. There's literally people everywhere.
Josh, wave at the prisoners in the Tower of London.
They're not actual prisoners. Just tourists!
TEAMSEAS! Let's donate to save the oceans.
Oh my gosh What is going on?
I'm sorry. How is this legal
Like, how are we allowed to do this?
That is literally the most insane thing we've ever done.
Oh, I forgot my main prop. Dammit.
Where did you get that? Oh my gosh.
TEAMSEAS.
I'm fed up of having a brunch of plastic.
I'm just gonna hide.
Oh my gosh.
I literally got such an adrenaline hit right now.
My heart is racing.
I kind of hadn't thought about the fact that
There's literally the entire bank of the Thames on both sides,
just lined with people staring at us.
Yeah, it's actually a really great way to raise awareness, right?
For a good cause!
TEAM SEAS!
Oh wow.
It's like a once in a lifetime experience.
Yeah, except we've got to take the boat back
to where it came from.
- So the bridge has to raise again. - Twice in a lifetime experience.
You know what we need now, Ollie?
After maybe the most British thing we ever could have done
in the most British scene.
I think we need a cup of tea.
TEAM SEAS!
Also got some scones.
Cream tea -m seas.
Cream team seas.
I love it! It was destiny. Cheers.
Oh, man.
- The ultimate - Scones.
Cream tea -m seas.
You can stop saying it now.
You can stop saying it now. I want to make sure we got it.
TEAM SEAS!
Cream TEAM SEAS!
Sorry, that's not gonna make any sense.
Barely make any sense in context.
Is there anything more British than having
a cream tea on the Thames as you go under Tower Bridge?
Probably not.
It wouldn't surprise me if the Queen does this regularly
just to exert dominance.
To sea life.
Wherever it may be.
-Hopefully in the sea. -And getting trash out of the sea.
Oh my gosh.
I wrote a poem for the occasion.
I knew that this was a big moment.
I've always wanted to read a poem on a boat.
Mr. Beast and Rober
sent us out the call,
Gotta save the sea life.
No matter how small.
From plankton
to porpoise,
From humpback whale
to haddock,
Plastic crap
is bugging them,
Causing major havoc.
So we're gonna scoop it out,
the bottles and the bags,
30 million pounds of junk,
A nasty plastic slag.
Remember that film Waterworld?
An epic flop,
but fun.
It lost a hundred million,
3 times our target sum.
Set in the bleak near-future,
with polar ice destroyed,
filthy seas, people with gills,
A fate we'd best avoid
So open up your wallets
and throw TEAM SEAS some cash.
For the sea lions and the starfish
and all who love to splash.
This one's for Ariel,
Sebastian
and Shamu,
for Jaws and for Nemo.
And yes,
Aquaman too,
An internet team assembles
to fight on the side of the seas.
No more dolphins stuck in Tupperware.
No more pesky PVC’s.
Dory, can you hear us?
SpongeBob, we're on your side.
Moby Dick. Your ass is covered.
We'll save where you reside.
Wow. I,
I'm speechless.
It was better when I wrote it.
In my head.
In your head?
All right. Well, you heard it here, guys.
Hash tag TEAM SEAS.
If that isn't enough
to make you just type in www.teamseas.org
Give them a dollar. If that isn't enough then literally,
I don't know what is.
And in the meantime.
- We'll see you JOLLY soon.
- See you later.
Traffic jam caused, ocean's saved.
And it's not even 10AM.
