As what I've watched from Judy Ann Santos, what they do is they bring their own tumblers and everytime they buy drinks from coffee shops they'll just tell the crews to fill the tumbler. My mother also, everytime she buys sopas or arroz caldo, she brings her own lunch box. Because the seller saves one paper cup for that, she adds more sopas. Kapag bumibili kami ng dirty ice cream sa mga dumadaan lang dito sa bahay, sa mug namin pinapalagay. And the ice cream man gives us extra scoop. So, more ice cream na, one less plastic waste pa.

      @@aliciab4676 Thanks for the perspective. Waste needs to be dealt with on a more communal level and even household level. There are differences in the way biodegradable and compostable products breakdown in a home compost setting (maybe neighborhood compost should be available for cities?) vs landfill setting (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2873018/). Switching to these products can be a better alternative to managing global waste increase if disposed of properly. Plastic is obviously not the answer.

      Companies have an standardize size of packaging to minimize cost at shipping and distribution.

Also double package helps to hide the contents for safety and privacy. most of products we buy come on a box that reflect its contents. Using a plain outside box minimize the risk of expensive items being stolen...
      As an example if you order a bike from Amazon they will state to you that the box will show the contents (the bike, in case it is a gift or surprise) and ask if you want it on a double box...

    I visited Japan a couple of years ago and I must say their methods for recycling are borderline perfect. By law, they’re required to remove all labels from plastic, glass, and metal. Then everything is sorted by color and material. For example a green glass bottles would be placed with other green glass bottles. Furthermore, plastics of the same type and color were also separated. It was a bit tedious and time consuming at first but I quickly caught on. I think that should be the law here in the U.S.

What is interesting here are the comments Denouncing Colbert by Filipinos. th-cam.com/video/X9yBp6bjXeY/w-d-xo.html
      You are right this video is more about Duterete's response to trash and not about his drug war. Also the the comments here by Filipinos show they love what Trevor said about Duterte. He made him look good. Since many people outside of Phillipines may not be aware of his dictatorship he could have thrown in a side joke to make people aware. Given the serious nature of Duterte's drug war, making him look should have been avoided.
      My point is with all Trevor's animosity for some aspect of the West and especially Trump, he could have informed us that Duterte isn't so cool despite his bombastic response to Canada. It is all about how he frames the topics. There are always multiple layers and jokes so he could have slipped in something about Duterte not being such a great guy after all.

      Here's an exercise you can do: wake up in the morning, take a little notebook and make note of all the different items you use throughout the day. From turning on a lamp to toothpaste to the OJ you drink, to your shoelaces, every little thing - it adds up fast! Next go down your list, and ask yourself if you know where each product was made, where the materials were sourced, how it should be properly disposed of when you're done with it, if it even *can* be properly disposed! American consumerism is designed to provide convenience in our lives and to brush aside the consequences. You can make small adjustments in your own personal life - the "reuse" and "reduce" part of Recycle - Reduce - Reuse. People look at you like a crazy person if you keep reusing the same plastic bottle, but it's a key pillar of the whole program! (A plastic bottle which, btw, is more durable than glass and will not degrade for another several hundred years or so) Change starts with a small ripple, building into a wave.

      Uh no. China is a massive polluter of plastics and other stuff all on their own. This show is such a disinformation producing waste.
      China bought the recycling to make more stuff. They need to do a better job cleaning their own messes. They treat the ocean like a trash bin.
