Hemp is the answer! This country used hemp for everything pre-prohibition (1920). Let’s go back to hemp. Hemp for victory! Hemp for a healthier environment.
Hemp and mushrooms! If you haven't studied fungus yet, check it out! Paul Stamets has done over 40 years of research and found we can reforest our deserts, clean our air, water and food, feed the hungry and cure the sick! All with the help of MYCELIUM!
it kind of ignores that plastic can't be recycled indefinitely. Due to heating, the chemical chains degrade and the quality is reduced. At most it can be recycled 3 times. It likely won't even make it to twice though, since if it was mixed into other types of materials or plastics it can't be recycled a second time.
"We have overcome environmental nightmares before; we unleaded gasoline, we managed to tackle ozon depletion - human kind has a long history of creating big environmental problems but we are also starting to develop a track record of SOLVING environmental problems." - A hopeful man! we need more of this!
Solution ingredients: 1. Introduce law for plastic packaging to be priced at £/$/€ 1 per GRAMM Yes, just the one ingredient. Expected results: - Consumers will keep plastics to reuse. We never thow away valuables - Companies and corporations will introduce food/drinks dispensers to maximise profits as always - The wealthy few to afford £/$/€10 per GRAMM, will pay for cleaning up Example: 2 litres of coca-cola = £/$/€ 3 1 platic bottle (bottle+cap+labels) weighing 38 gramms = £/$/€ 38 3+38= £/$/€ 41 I can afford to buy a bottle of coca-cola for £/$/€ 41. And i will keep that bottle safe for years. You can bank on it
It's bizarre that were not using incinerators that actually have a method of purifying the air before releasing it. By the way over 95% of ocean plastic comes from Asia and Africa.
Controlling our behavior! Smoking became too much & we had to stop? Then eating too much became a problem! Now it's the overuse of plastic! Very difficult to control human behavior!
A wide variety of things can be done to reduce plastic wastage. Plastic manufacturers will continue to supply plastic while the demand for it remains. Every time we buy food that is wrapped in plastic packaging, (fruit and vegetables for example) we contribute to the demand for that particular type of plastic. We can reduce the demand if we choose to buy loose fruit and vegetables. Independent fruit and veg stores don't use a large amount of plastic. Most of all their fruit and vegetables are sold loose. Another thing we can do to reduce demand on plastic is to buy milk in glass bottles. I buy milk in glass bottles from a local milk delivery company. The price is higher but it's very convenient to have milk and other groceries delivered to your door.
if the government or the public was interested in stopping this flood of disposable plastic, they would have done so already. America and the world have become accustomed to the cheap, disposable, convenient lifestyle.
Twiggy H. collected plastic waste is seldom recycled... even boyan slat has no answer to the end process of collected plastic.. boyan slat developed river seiners to stop larger plastics from reaching the ocean.. few recyclers are functioning.. most collescted plastic is in dumps .. ocean ...stacked up in processors yards true there are some plants producing chips / flakes of clean plastic.. nowhere near enough.. recycling is a failure
Americans are smart, plastic was invented in America, why don't they now invent a type of power plant that cleanly burns all these plastics and more and convert it into energy... ;)

did a full year research into hemp, hemp can save the world!
@@caelanwilliamson4284 please share some details on your research
mithilesh kunal I highly recommend doing research. There is too much information and good that comes from this plant. Please look into this plant

Our supermarkets don't give a damn!
What about going back to biodegradable wood and paper? And maybe even returnable glass containers?

Seems like we should've stuck with wood, metal, glass, ceramic and rubber.
that flies in the face of cheap, and disposable lifestyle.
The interviewer is delighted by the certain destruction of our Earth.
Thanks for this documentary
So much for Ecology.
It's pretty obvious that we are doomed.
anyone else here doing a rhetorical analysis?
Yep

I did not see a single straw in this video.
WE CAN DO IT!!! WE CAN SOLVE IT!!!!
Even if we don't, time marches on. If all the humans, or all life, get wiped off the Earth, it's only a matter of time before the cycle restarts.
By design.
Bravo!

Salem OR! They love to recycle there 😄

true there are some plants producing chips / flakes of clean plastic.. nowhere near enough..

So CBS
That 9% figure is ANCIENT!
I burn all my plastic waste. It's the only way to get rid of it

"Cleanly....burns....plastic..." XD Nice try.

Covering California with it all is a viable answer. I vote yes.
Because you think everyone living in California is worthless? How compassionate.
This reminds me I have to bring in my 90 gallon trash can from the curb and fill it again. I usually fill it to the top in just one day.
