    A fast biodegradable replacement for plastic is the best way to tackle this problem

      I'm not sure a manufacturer would want to put their product into a container that quickly disintegrates? Doesn't seem like a profitable way to do business. I'd like to see markets allow consumers to bring their own reusable containers to fill at the store. Purchases could be made in bulk and/or by weight.

    There's 600,000,000 square miles of ocean on the earth. 600,000 square miles of trash represents 0.1%, and there are 5 of these garbage zones, so 0.5% of the earth's oceans are filled with garbage. That's too much.

    I'm no expert. But what I know is we use to use less trash, even decades ago. Also, we drank from glass bottles. Today it's mostly plastic. Plastic bottles are dangerous as some gets into our cells and organs. Especially if we leave plastic bottles in our hot cars before drinking.
    Today, there is so much "throw away" everything. While we harp about recycling, we are really a throw away generation.
    So, I know I'm no expert. But even what I see looks like a giant set up by forces we can not see. Who is pulling the strings? When I was a baby, my mother changed my diapers and washed them. Today, they are all throw away. Nasty subject. Sorry.
    Anyway, I try to get my drinking water from our well, if I can. I put in glass bottles and take to work. Put in Fridge. In between runs (to the landfill), I drink from them when I return to the yard. In that same refrigerator, it's almost full of plastic bottled water that the others use, and dispose of. lol. Most don't know about this stuff.
    We came from a time where there was a simpler way of living that generated less trash. Yes there WAS trash. But much less.

    The solution to our trash problems lies with a global cultural change. We first must start with returning to making things that last for generations, then we must change our consuming habits to consume and desire less, and finally we must return to the mindset of keeping things longer, reusing things in creative ways and being generally less wasteful. The problem does not lie in the disposal of trash, the problem lies in the creation of trash and the disposable mindset that we have.

  • @jamesgroover3151

    Maybe all plastic that are not recycled, could be processed into a building material, furniture, filler,etc. Give government incentives to companies that recycled their own materials. Maybe incentives for companies that use biodegradable materials for packaging and penalties for companies that don't want to participate in global clean up programs . Hopefully this helped..God bless us

    The effect shall cease to manifest only when the cause is removed.

When each individual becomes conscious of the consequences of his actions, the mankind on the globe shall drive in a sustainable manner.

    If incentives in trash management were serious, it wouldn't have been a problem. That's why I wonder what is the economics of turning trash to electricity because if it worked so well, men would be going out of their way to do it everywhere instead of erecting solar farms and all that. What's the economics of trash management? (Does it pay well or not)

    • @synjyn01
      @synjyn01 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I would bet you are heading in the right direction. It always comes down to money $$. Follow the cash. Burning trash for electricity is probably not a very lucrative investment that is why we don't hear or read much about it. I agree with you 100%, instead of wasting time and money on solar and wind maybe we should consider burning the trash but, government couldn't get rich off it.

    Make less trash. Encourage consumers to bring their own reusable containers. Make it very inconvenient and expensive to acquire things in single use, disposable packages. Put more pressure on the corporations producing the trash to find eco friendly alternatives to their packaging. Outlaw styrofoam. EDUCATE THE PUBLIC. Make this an issue in the front of the media. The list goes on
