00:25So we looked at plastic color preferences with penguins seeing what plastics they preferred
00:29to interact with, and we found that the white plastic was more strongly preferred to be
00:34interacted with and chosen. So we recommend reducing plastics overall, but also maybe
00:40reducing white plastic color usage. Could be because the white color may resemble colors of
00:49prey like the squid or the fish, but also it could resemble feather coloration. So they may
00:54prefer to go to the white because it may look like feather colors.
01:10We found that when we performed, looked at what colors plastics of seabirds were ingesting, we found
01:17that white plastics were also more commonly ingested. So not only is a white plastic a triple threat,
01:22it's found more commonly in the ocean, it's found more commonly in the guts,
01:26but now it's also preferred by the penguins.
