That’s great
I like them
@@latasha6100
How lol. It was so uncomfortably forced and unnecessary, like a parent trying to be "cool" with their kids.
@@cayk9444 cuz I'm off like that to? I don't know. I thrive on awkwardness perhaps
Quirky though?
I learn so much more in this than 1 boring hour of class in school...
Chances are you probably won't remember most of this in a week. It's not learning if you don't actually learn it
But a lot of this is just trivial knowledge. Like 47 of trash is burned openly. You aren't learning anything, its just an irrelevant fact for life
Idk if im alone, but I like the older AsapSCIENCE videos much older then the newer ones. Idk if its the jokes, or the voiceover. But it doesn't hit me the same as it used to.
For me it's the cringey words
yesss! just what I was thinking! why does he talk like teenagers on disney channel? I think we would understand it anyway lol
I have learnt the whole periodic table song
I agree, they are trying to make them more appealing to younger audiences by making bad jokes and including cringy words that are supposed to be what young people use. This sadly doesn't account for the majority of their subscribers though...
Yup👍
Love how so many youtubers are using their platforms to spread the message about climate change!

Normally I really like these videos but this one lost a lot of traction for me everytime he said "obvi" or "supes" or "hastag goals af"
Just really offputting for me for some reason lol
I stopped watching after #goalsaf because its was honestly way too much and taking away from the video.
Agreed. I felt this was aimed at middle schoolers, which I never felt in the past...
Uh oh, looks like Greg's being quirky. Don't see why that's a problem...can't he abbreviate and make jokes without people like you eXpLoDiNg?
@@liliana6050
No one is exploding, it's just juvenile, I felt like i was listening to someone trying to be "cool"with middle schoolers and failing miserably. This isn't quirky, it's forced. To each to their own, but for me... and apparently like 90% of viewers... it's a no.
@@cayk9444 then don't watch it. Problem solved. 👍
Not a fan of the “new style” using slang terms like “supes” and “af”. Videos feel less professionally done because of it. Also the absence of the piano in the background seems to make the flow feel odd
True
Things are gonna change whether you like it or not.
Kani Boy yup
It's a different person narrating, so they're going to talk differently. That's pretty much how talking works
Maybe that's the point? Are these for the youth to learn or are they for professionals?
This doesn't feel like I'm watching ASAPscience , I liked it better with the other guy
ikr
Mitch
Mitchell will probably find that funny...but I doubt Greg will appreciate the constant hating of his narration.
That's it, I'm moving to Sweden
I am from Belgium and I see that awareness in our country is growing although there is still a lot to be done. And yes, clever idea of the cement but it was also a Belgian who discovered the basis of plastic ..
Thanks for the video! Please keep making these they are interesting, they keep people aware, motivate to think about alternatives and solutions and they are brought by you, AsapScience, in a very original way that makese smile 😊
To be honest I like the old format better, but as always quality content!
Finally someone being polite about it!
Who's this new guy and what'd you do with Greg
They're married, he's Greg's husband.
I'm right here
Yeah actually tho, I liked the other guy’s style
what do you mean new guy. they've both been here since the beginning of the channel
AGAIN, IM RIGHT HERE!
Can we please have the piano music in the background come back?? Please?!
I know! Mitch does it and he might be sick or something.
No
Love you guys man only just started watching you guys amazing love the vids
Informative but don't think I like the "quirky" inserts.
i'm pondering them too... seemed excessive in this vid
Me neither. :/ One or two is good for spice but not too many.
I think so too.
Same they're a bit excessive

This video has got me thinking of ideas- definitely checking out those links, looks like I have a lot of research to do
Mm that was kinda cringe at some points
1:49
Awks af.
No but for real, it was.
realklein I agree
So what, though? I mean, honestly he's going to have a unique style.
Keep forgetting you guys are Canadian and then I saw the 20$ bill!
But then again.. they told the amount of trash in pounds. I mean, in Lbs.. I mean, in Imperial obsolete measure. I mean..
We use a weird mix of imperial and metric up here
Lana Joy Canada is a Commonwealth country so yeah the Queen's face is on Canadian money.

Even better video than usual, otsukaresama deshita! (~good work)
What would happen to our bodies if they were dead in space? They wouldn’t decompose since there’s no oxygen. I just want more detail on it, as it fascinates me quite a bit.
probably wouldnt decompose because it's too cold
Nothing... you would just float
You might still decompose to an extent, as some bacteria don't need oxygen. Chances are your body will eventually be rendered sterile by cosmic radiation though.
I'm pretty sure either this channel or Scishow did an episode pretty much on this subject. From what I remember you'd basically become a bloated piece of human jerky.
I'm going to tell my teacher about this channel! My class has also recently been learning about how humans are affecting the earth and recycling. Keep up the great work!
Animal agriculture is killing the planet faster than every boat, train, plane, car, and truck in the world- the entire global transportation sector. Watch cowspiracy on Netflix, and go vegan. It’s the best single action an individual can take
Bodhi Foster thats pure bs.
It takes more energy and fresh water to grow plants than raise animals.
Carson Hunt those same plant crops mostly go to livestock. Their feed crops consume 56% of our water in the US. Because of this, 2,500 gallons of water are needed to produce every pound of beef. 477 gallons for a pound of eggs... nearly 900 gallons for a pound of cheese.... 1000 gallons of water for a gallon of milk. Actually animal ag is responsible for over 20% of all fresh water consumption in the world today- some studies estimate it’s as much as 33%. So if you’re concerned about water consumption,,, yea, veganism is the answer. You’d know these things, if you bothered to look at anything that has an opposing view point from where you currently stand. DM me for references and citations, if you’re actually willing to do the reading
Bodhi Foster I’ve done the reading, wrote several papers back in university on the topic (most about benefit of gmos). But it’s not that simple, and the answer isn’t veganism lol.
Agriculture currently uses around 80% of fresh water consumption, your saying 56% of it goes to animal feed? So that leaves 25% already being used to feed like 10% of vegans. We’d have a 200% increase then to sustain veganism for everyone.
You also must account that food consumption is international. Studies have already showed that air freighting most “greens” is not sustainable long term. It’s not just about water, but energy, land, etc.
You must also remember that plants require nutrient rich soil. This soil must come from somewhere/be replaced. For example in Mexico they destroy more forest every year to increase avocado fields.
Must also remember, plants are much more likely to be thrown out, and don’t keep long term as well as meat. And currently we already waste around 25% of all food.
Anyways point is it’s a lot more complicated than most people think, and not as simple as “switch to vegan”.

For the love of God can you include metric measures please.
Why? I know it's hard to understand, but two countries use the metric system...not including Canada. WHich is where he lives.
Ohmygod! Sorry, I confused the two systems! I suppose I assume that he did use the metric system because he's Canadian and I do remember seeing examples of it.
Complex Ez wow okay that's right no other person from no other country has stepped foot on the moon -_-
I love the videos because of the information. The jokes are whatever but I don’t want it to take away from the importance of the video.
I love the information I get from these videos but god the humor is abysmal
Humor?
@@davidcarlson6862 Exactly
Megumin
Irrelevant. But, ah, sorry on his behalf that there are diverse senses of humour?
@@liliana6050 dude. Stop. People are allowed to criticize and to have their own opinions. I understand that you think you are defending the creator but in reality all you are doing is forcing others to surpress their voices just because, as you've said many times, "they are being mean. Creator can have his own sense of humor." So you are saying that the creator is the only one allowed to do what they want and that NO ONE is allowed to criticize anybody.

This is AMAZING and hilarious! How is this not VIRAL!?
I liked your jokes :) And thanks for all this information! I really hope the whole world will try implement solutions to reduce and eliminate waste soon.
Legit critisism: the background sounds were too distracting and I couldn't actually watch the video because of it. Its just uncomfortable noise clutter.
I believe a lot more people would recycle if it was made easier for them. I recently moved to a new home and there were a number of restrictions on what we could put in the recycle bin. It makes it almost not worth it. IMO the onus needs to be put on the waste management and recycle management companies to separate the streams effectively and recycle as much as possible. People are only gonna do what is easiest.
If it costs more to do it this way with waste pickup charges then so be it....
Nice video. I live in Vietnam so these info is exactly what I need to convince my family to reuse plastic. I hope they’ll listen.
I love this video! Thank you for sharing. I no longer get bags at the grocer, I bring my own. I also have started swapping out items I typically buy in plastic containers for glass, paper, cardboard or metal. It's a little change from a single person but dammit, I'm trying to make this world better! 💗
the video is nice but i'd rather you drop the quirky cali-girl attitude
right? I can't even watch the video despite that I find the idea interesting and I wanna know why it's a bad idea
noone isnoone
Me too it’s so cringe
It's Mitch's husband, Greg.
I can not stress this enough either, but other people will think the wrong idea.
@@joshuaosei5628 what?
Can y'all please do a video about what if we composted our organic waste? I would like to learn a little more as to how that would affect our environment. Thank you :)
^Yes please, same here lol
It’s much better for the environment because in the landfill wasted food can’t break down and releases green house gases but if you compost it, it will break down and can then be used as fertilizer.
@@samanthatheminimalist compost heaps can produce hydrogen sulphide and methane if not properly tended. Those are SERIOUS greenhouse gases.
Cameron Dufton and that is why my city does curbside compost pick up- so I can leave it to the pros.
@@samanthatheminimalist we have curbside collection too but you don't get to use it in your garden. Composting only applies to green waste and food scraps. Non biodegradable materials can be incinerated and the exhaust can be captured and converted into usable material. Composting on a large scale takes a lot of space to prevent anaerobic break down.
I love the jokes and slang in this!! That makes it more fun for kids to learn and it makes it more enjoyable to watch
I love the new format! It's not cringe at all - informative videos don't always have to be serious :)
Not a fan of the new quirky and #relatable science vids
These new videos are sellouts and belong in r/fellowkids.
Ok cool just don’t watch the vids
I don't care! Just don't watch these videos. Pfft, why should you bother with science if you don't like people trying to be funny? (Sarcasm, in case you didn't notice.)
0:45 Ralph Wiggum the best!
I got double serious when Ralph popped up. 😂
I really like your guys' videos, they are very educational and technical. I would have to agree with some of the people about this new style that you guys have. IN my opinion, you guys should stick to the original quirky and fantastically nerdy style of your videos. I liked those better. It also never hurts to experiment with different styles and just see which one suits you guys best.
either way i love the content you make.
Thanks for making this video; it was informative on the different waste management methods, and I can now say I am more interested in waste management!
*Advice :* Stop with the bad jokes and go back to informative stuff
Apart from that, great vid !
Honestly same
And their newer vids usually about statistics too not those informative things like they used to make.
Maybe you should focus on the informative stuff he says and ignore the so called "bad" jokes if you don't like them.
To stop this we need communism
@@magnus_bane god thank you! Finally, another person who can appreciate science and not get hung up on his jokes.

Also, in Sweeden, the bulk of the energy is used for heating, which is the most efficient use of the energy since it just sends hot water out to homes. When they have to make electricity from it, there’s another step involved and lots of energy lost.
Thank you for the video!!!
Guys, great video.
Could we do less with the "totes", "defs", "obvis", please? The content of your videos are not specific to a particular region... It would be great if you kept it in a way that everybody who watches would follow... Also, the closed captions are not accurate :(

Yeah, it kinda just caught me off guard a bit though.
Did you just say "me no like"? Wow it seems you used these words like you definitely want to act like a cool kid.
Gosh. Just enjoy the video for what it is, and most importantly learn something from it instead of "you no like".
I really like the phrasing of this video, I know there are many people in the comments saying they don't like it but I believe it sounds relatable and easy to listen to even a little funny at some points. I have learned from experience that when you make science and harder stuff like this relatable then younger people tend to understand it better also if it becomes a trend or a meme kids will share and more people might support the cause and help send the world into a brighter future!

One system that can be used for waste disposal is plasma gasification, it converts waste to molten metal, glass and gas, it's particularly good for dealing with toxic waste and car tires (which are very hard to deal with otherwise).
