i love how much humanity and dignity was brought to this story! also just fascinating to see what happens after we throw something in the compost bin. thank you priya and team!! ❤
Which really great is 1 ton of food waste from New York city removes 2.2 tons of carbon from the atmosphere after processing at Trenton Renewables . I was proud to be a part of it at my facility at Trenton Renewables !😊
Um, you left out the part of how much carbon was PUT IN THE AIR from the production and transportation of that food, including the wrappers/containers/plastic bags, and the harmful effects of the entire life cycle of the product. You are focusing narrowly on one sliver of the ‘pros’, without looking at the whole life cycle and all the cons endemic to it.
Well, unfortunately, not everybody can have their own personal farm. It’s better than putting stuff into a landfill and creating methane for many years.
@@marktalbott351 false dichotomy. It’s not a choice between everybody having a farm, or not. It’s about living in communities where the garbage doesn’t require mass transport, b/c that transport itself is contributing to global warming and a source of pollution. More importantly, as i said above, you aren’t doing a ‘lifecycle analysis’ of everything that goes into and out of the system. Like managing a business by only focusing on revenue without looking at costs, and then thinking you’re doing a great job and will be rich. That’s nonsense.
What a great watch & such a cool dude. Thanks for making his life story part of the greater story. Some people say immigration is a bad thing, but they have no concept of what they are talking about.
Just gotta say I'm so happy seeing Priya making work that she clearly is very passionate about! Feels so much more "her" than the stuff she was doing previously
this was utter and absolute excellence from start to finish. if the team involved with producing this, is reading this, kudos and hats off. This video brought me joy.
I am a dedicated NYC composter and I found this video fascinating! I also wondered what happened to my compost after I deposit it at the farmer’s market or curbside bins. I knew it wasn’t going to a landfill but I didn’t know about the Trenton facility and how the bio gas was extracted to make energy to power electricity. Kudos to Paul for his hard work and to Priya for her first hand report.
As mentioned in the video your work is essential and very important. But it is not valorate enough by all of us that generate all this material. Hope that will change in the future and I hope you feel well and safe in your work every day.
Paul is a gift to this world. 💖 A massive thank you to everyone involved in this process, from the grocers that take time to separate out their compost to the folks at Trenton, and thank you NYT team for sharing this!
Priya’s videos are THE BEST video content the NYT offers. So glad to see these faces and people behind the scenes of our food process. Thank you Priya and Paul!
I wish we could have a universal composting system. I hate to imagine the tons of food that goes into landfills when it can be turned into energy and compost. I loved that Paul found out how his compost created green energy; he looked so proud!
Jobs like this are so often overlooked and I just love how these videos remind us to be grateful for the people doing them. Paul seems like such a kind and hardworking man!
This is such an amazing show! So needed. It really humanizes the people that make this city run quietly. Please keep this as a fixture on this channel. 🙏🏾
What a beautiful episode. Paul is such a kind man doing a job that so many of us overlook. And Priya is just the perfect blend of a kind and intelligent human being with a strong sense of right and wrong and a childlike inquisitive mind that wants to understand and learn. Great great series and one of the best episodes so far.
Hi Priya. This was a wonderful episode, thank you. You bring such engaging humanity to your content. Paul was a winner and a good, decent fellow. A delightful watch. Top stuff.
Great story! Paul is salt of the earth and I love the way he and Priya interact. The waste is, however, shocking and appalling! So many meals could be made by the good stuff that's thrown out.
Absolutely amazing, really appreciate the highlight of this incredibly important work! Respecting the men and women who manage solid waste is essential.
I know it would be super easy to just show the technical side of composting and show graphs and production numbers but I really appreciate how this was presented.
This is my favorite series! Priya does a fantastic job of showing all the jobs that most of us don't give a second thought about. More of these please!
I love this series. Priya shows all the parts of the food industry we don't usually get to see. And Paul is such a terrific person to learn about! Thanks so much for sharing this!
I love this story and this show so much! Truly eye opening to get to know the PEOPLE and processes that make these systems run. So inspiring ❤ makes me love the beautiful diversity of our country even more!
What a lovely man is Paul! He is absolutely right about his job being essential. Sanitation and utilities jobs are all undervalued, but without them life in any city would be just a nightmare. Ask van lifers how much time they have to spend taking care of their trash, plugging in for gas, water or propane, dumping out trash, gray water, black water or other 'household' waste. When you are off grid, you go it all on your on. When you are on grid, in a city, these services are the fundamentals of quality of life
👏to this incredible team for putting these stories of humanity, and the hard work that goes into what it takes to run a city. Always look forward to new episodes! NYT, give them a raise!
Why is thi ssuch a feel good video? Priya was also a perfect cast/reporter for this Best part: "Are those going to be a nightmare audio-wise if I get seaweed snacks?" *LOUD CRUNCH * "hmm, not a lot of film crews, though?" "Do I have seaweed on my face?"
I worked in NYC for 6 months this year-I loved the curbside compost bins that you use an app to open. Brilliant and so easy to use. I froze it in a bin in my freezer and would drop it off once a week.
So happy I ran across this while scrolling, very interesting and informative. Paul does his job with dignity and purpose, showing pride in what he does. More people in the workforce, regardless of the job, would be well served to be more like Paul. Heartening to see that garbage is being turned into a useful end product. Thank you for this very entertaining and informative story, I will continue to watch future episodes.
Keep doing well Paul, your service to the city speaks volumes- thank you for all you do to make our environment a healthier and better place to live and raise our families. Cheers 🍻
this is why I love and support the NYT. stories like these ( thanks Priya for doing the Lord's work) always tear me up and remind me of the humanity of most of us trying to just get by
Love this series, and this was one of my favorite episodes! I appreciate how Priya tells the stories of the people doing this work. It's great to make the workers who make our city's food system work visible. Well done, and thank you 🙏🏾
Thank you Priya, my husband and I loved your story it was truly enlightening! We have been composting from our home on eastern Long Island for at least 30 + years. We loved yours and Paul’s energy, thank you, thank you🙏
it is so profoundly sad to see how much food, good food, is wasted every single day. Hopefully, this documentary video might get us to rethink our profligate ways. Please keep making them!
i love these types of stories and learning about the workers you often don’t pay second mind to. they’re stories and lives and dedication are truly inspiring.
Paul was awesome! There's a small part of me that has always wanted to spend a day being a sanitation truck worker and it was fun to see what there day is like. Especially for the good of composting!
Thanks so much for sharing this. As a long time dedicated composter I too wondered where it all went and if we were actually making a difference amongst the millions of New Yorkers. Much appreciation to all the people working those long hard shifts and keeping the city running.
Props to Paul for participating in this documentary about his job, and the hard work he does everyday to dispose of organic food waste for composting. HOWEVER, if everyone ate the proper human diet, none of this waste would exist in the first place. Such a shame how much environment destruction is caused by current dietary eating habits.
Watching this series reminds of the 'Race to Zero' documentary that San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee lead to hold everyone in SF accountable for recycling and composting. I worked and lived in San Francisco during that transition and it was definitely a learning curve, but the initiative was an important lesson on how we manage waste and consumption. RIP ED LEE ❤
Yes New York city does not sleep ! First time I have seen Priya's vlog and she is a very pretty amazing woman . Great personality and very watchable ! She has the right matters in her heart to care of basic things that most people take for granted. Paul is a truly amazing genuine down to earth man, who works so hard and a genuine human being. Nice video , though Priya smelling garbage and saying hmmmm nice smell was not exactly enlightening !!! So now I know what it is like for these hard working unappreciated people do to keep New York clean and dispose trash for reuse as compost. Nice video Priya you are a tough girl !
TY for exposing the amount of still edible food in our "compost." Such food, according to EPA Wasted Food Scale, should be eaten by humans or animals - not used to “transform our consumption of energy” - or, create fossil fuels in the process! Also, please beware of referring to organic materials collected for energy generation as “compost.” Best to leave the term "compost" to the end result of the decomposition process used as fertilizer.
i love how much humanity and dignity was brought to this story! also just fascinating to see what happens after we throw something in the compost bin. thank you priya and team!! ❤
The NYC government needs to collect and sort the garbage itself instead of telling citizens
Kudos to the audio team! Many different, difficult, environments to capture and it was done fabulously.
Seaweed snacks vs corn muffin 😂
This is such a good point! Well done audio team 👍👍
"It dont talk back to you" - True words my man Paul.
Thank you Priya, for yet another fantastic episode
It was great to see Priya more!
Paul was fantastic, and I appreciate that you shared the full process with him as well.

This is my favorite series on TH-cam! I love seeing so many human stories and Paul is the man! This seems like such a tough job and he owns it
What a great watch & such a cool dude. Thanks for making his life story part of the greater story. Some people say immigration is a bad thing, but they have no concept of what they are talking about.
Just gotta say I'm so happy seeing Priya making work that she clearly is very passionate about! Feels so much more "her" than the stuff she was doing previously
I had no idea that the NYC region did this much actual composting, made biogas and provided compost/mulch to local farms! So great!
The government needs to collect and sort the garbage itself instead of telling citizens !!
this was utter and absolute excellence from start to finish. if the team involved with producing this, is reading this, kudos and hats off. This video brought me joy.
Paul, your job is absolutely essential and your story is inspirational. This country is so much better off with you here. Thank you for sharing.

Jobs like this are so often overlooked and I just love how these videos remind us to be grateful for the people doing them. Paul seems like such a kind and hardworking man!
Sanitation workers are the unsung heroes of our modern world, honestly
This is such an amazing show! So needed. It really humanizes the people that make this city run quietly. Please keep this as a fixture on this channel. 🙏🏾
Awww his wife is such a hoot on the phone “can you understand him????”
You can tell they have such a playful love 💕💕💕
What a beautiful episode. Paul is such a kind man doing a job that so many of us overlook. And Priya is just the perfect blend of a kind and intelligent human being with a strong sense of right and wrong and a childlike inquisitive mind that wants to understand and learn. Great great series and one of the best episodes so far.
Wow, even more motivated to make sure things get into the right bins!
This was my favorite episode in this series!
Hi Priya. This was a wonderful episode, thank you. You bring such engaging humanity to your content. Paul was a winner and a good, decent fellow. A delightful watch. Top stuff.
Paul casually does hero level work
Great story! Paul is salt of the earth and I love the way he and Priya interact. The waste is, however, shocking and appalling! So many meals could be made by the good stuff that's thrown out.
Priya Krishna is a great reporter and writer. I love her cinema and stories.
I feel very touched when the journalist told Paul how his work valued a lot to a city and environment ❤
It’s very enjoyable to watch. Thank you all!
I love these On The Job Videos. Please don't stop making them!
Absolutely amazing, really appreciate the highlight of this incredibly important work! Respecting the men and women who manage solid waste is essential.
Paul is one hard working man have mad respect for him
I know it would be super easy to just show the technical side of composting and show graphs and production numbers but I really appreciate how this was presented.
Refreshing yet educational video. Well done Priya! And, a huge thanks & Happy Anniversary to Mr. Paul & wife.
This is my favorite series! Priya does a fantastic job of showing all the jobs that most of us don't give a second thought about. More of these please!
I love this series. Priya shows all the parts of the food industry we don't usually get to see. And Paul is such a terrific person to learn about! Thanks so much for sharing this!
This is one of my favorite series on TH-cam. There's something about Priya that helps people open up and share their stories.
I love this story and this show so much! Truly eye opening to get to know the PEOPLE and processes that make these systems run. So inspiring ❤ makes me love the beautiful diversity of our country even more!
...I see a lot of smoothies, instead of compost:) What a great job. He and his wife seem like soul mates. I love that he called her.
What a lovely man is Paul!

This was a great story and one that is very important to share about composting and about people like Paul Campbell.
So happy I ran across this while scrolling, very interesting and informative. Paul does his job with dignity and purpose, showing pride in what he does. More people in the workforce, regardless of the job, would be well served to be more like Paul. Heartening to see that garbage is being turned into a useful end product.

Absolutely love this show, hope there's more to come
Keep doing well Paul, your service to the city speaks volumes- thank you for all you do to make our environment a healthier and better place to live and raise our families. Cheers 🍻
omg this was such a wonderful episode, maybe because paul is such a sweetheart.
Such a wonderful man doing a marvelous job. Thanks for shining a spotlight on him.
I loved this 🥰 Paul is wonderful and as usual, Ms. Priya is an expert reporter/host/story facilitator.
I love this series. It's really interesting to gain insight into the less "glamorous" careers present in NYC.
Priya is so good at this. She is so utterly charming in all situations. Great stuff
this is why I love and support the NYT. stories like these ( thanks Priya for doing the Lord's work) always tear me up and remind me of the humanity of most of us trying to just get by

Remarkable work Priya, kudos to not only Paul but all other and sanitation workers who keep the cities around the world clean.
Thanks so much for sharing this. As a long time dedicated composter I too wondered where it all went and if we were actually making a difference amongst the millions of New Yorkers. Much appreciation to all the people working those long hard shifts and keeping the city running.
This was one of the best episodes. Thank you.
I'm glad Paul got to know what all his hard work does for people. What a standup guy
You made trash compelling and human. Kudos, Priya and team, on seeing the story here and telling it brilliantly.
always love to see nyt adding a face to the mostly invisible functions of a city, great job as always priya but this one was really special.
The world would be better if there were more like Paul. Thanks for such a great video.
What a great informational piece.
This video is great! It's a journey. Great storytelling, interviewing, editing, music, everything. Top class
Waste management workers are the unseen heroes of our society. Respect to them 🫡
Priya, thanks, as always for highlighting all of us. ❤
I'm always looking forward to seeing this series!!
Awesome. Such great information. Uncle Paul, you rock.
This video was such a joy to watch. I love Paul’s humility and dedication to his job ❤
These are the people who make our world run ❤awesome video
I think I love Priya as much as Paul loves his wife, lol. I adore these 'On the Job' vids. Thank you.
Paul has a purpose thanks for what you do!
Props to Paul for participating in this documentary about his job, and the hard work he does everyday to dispose of organic food waste for composting. HOWEVER, if everyone ate the proper human diet, none of this waste would exist in the first place. Such a shame how much environment destruction is caused by current dietary eating habits.
Hi Paul, this is lisa and dave. Thomasa asked me to watch this you have an interesting job..
It's amazing how the city has a composting system!!
hard cut to priya with the seaweed snacks was top tier
Watching this series reminds of the 'Race to Zero' documentary that San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee lead to hold everyone in SF accountable for recycling and composting. I worked and lived in San Francisco during that transition and it was definitely a learning curve, but the initiative was an important lesson on how we manage waste and consumption. RIP ED LEE ❤
Another fantastically informative episode!
paul is a star

So now I know what it is like for these hard working unappreciated people do to keep New York clean and dispose trash for reuse as compost. Nice video Priya you are a tough girl !
I was engrossed. Thank You.
We just got our compost bins in Washington Heights. This is great to see.
Priya is simply the best 🎉
This was awesome to watch. Big ups to brother Paul 🇯🇲
I though paul was around 30 years old, this man has held his glow all the way to the 50-60s. this man will look 40 years old at 100 years
This was such an awesome video! Thank you for making this video intimate by sharing his story with us!
love this story
This was humane, touching and very interesting
Loved this video!!! Great job to the entire crew
One of the best stories i've watched 🙂 Glad to see where my food waste ends up
This was so interesting, thank you Priya and Paul of course.
What a meaningful episode, thank you!

Priya doing her work on NYTC has been so nice ♥️
What a great episode !!!!❤
Omg this is docu film worthy content. Enjoyed the textural video!
