As a volunteer of beach waste removal for the past 34 years, this video gives me hope for the future. Thank You for sharing and l have passed it on to 20 others. Thanks !
The pricing model alone should be reason enough to have this model used at every event. Thanks for bringing light to the small projects that actually make a difference!
Hreat interview! San Francisco Intl airport just announced a ban on all plastic water bottles including ‘water for sale’ bottles IN the airport! Bring your own bottle/can or plan to buy water in a bottle or can. They are still working on getting a change for ‘flavored’ water products.
While watching this episode, I was reminded of one of your recent NYK videos that reported on Ohio's dismal actions regarding Climate change and pollution - and this company (zerowastefest.com) is based in Ohio!! Talk about damage control!! Way to go!! 👍
Since disposable consumerism became a thing, people have forgotten that waste has a cost but also has value. The reuse, recycle mentality must be reprogrammed into people from birth and become part of culture again. 1. Take what you need and no more. 2. Replace what you take. 3. Leave things as you find them, or better. 4. Take your shit home with you! :-)
@@markplott4820 Also product manufacturers and packaging companies must design to take into account the end of life of their products and make them easy to repair and disassemble and separate the materials for sorting. Laptop batteries come to mind - I've taken apart thousands of them to test and reuse the cells, and apart from being difficult or even dangerous to dismantle there's usually loads of unnecessarily messy gunk inside which is difficult to clean off and adds a lot of time. The ABS cases are also recyclable if they can be cleaned up. Single use plastics are the worst. What's wrong with cardboard? At least PET water bottles are recyclable, but a lot of other kinds are not, or are so mixed that they are costly to separate.
These people do an amazing job. They could easily turn this into a nationwide business especially if they approach some of the major festival & events promotion companies to raise their profile. Zac, thru your music business contacts maybe you could assist them with this. Also maybe an approach to municipal & state authorities to be a part of their major events + via the various states' education departments, alert schools to the services they provide. The USA has many professional sports teams, major university sporting events & approaching these could, long term, dramatically grow their reach. Just some ideas of how they might grow their business & continue to expand their recycling mission. Glastonbury Festival, a major UK music festival with UK & international acts went plastic free this year. Sales of plastic bottles, bags etc was banned & they provided reusable water bottles via a festival partner & festival goers could fill up from onsite H2O dispenser tanks located throughout the festival site.
The thing is all those recycle bags got to the same place as all the waste and gets dumped or shipped abroad anyway. Recycling makes no difference unless the government has the end stage actually recycling the waste in processing plants.
Tabs T maybe it can be the case for the plastic but the aluminium and metal cans go into the metal recycling stream that had a very established recyling pipeline. Same for glass bottles depending on the region. Paper and foodscraps are going to composting facility instead of the dump.
In favor of prohibition of events over 2000 visitors that don’t include initiatives for real zero waste. We all know just placing color bins isn’t enough.
If I could give this video 10 thumbs-up, I would! This was awesome!!!!!! What a great idea! I especially love them pointing out that millennials are really into sustainability. That statement alone makes the argument for buying Tesla stock. I would happily pay more for an event ticket to support a zero waste effort like these folks are doing. I think they could franchise their operations if they could standardize their processing equipment.
It's really inspiring to see people who care about the environment who are working at the ground level to make change happen. Thank you for highlighting these people and their efforts. Every effort helps build the momentum toward a future sustainable world.
with such a huge area, looks like a zamboni style collector with sorting belt and bins on board with space for sorters would help collect over large areas...
It's nice to see you guys branching out and covering other topics about sustainability. Can you do a video about people’s need to remove natural gas from their homes? Whether that’s during appliance upgrades or a more proactive approach of paying to do it all at once. You talk a lot about cars and solar. But how about our homes pumping out CO2?? I think decarbonizing our homes is probably just as important as doing the same with our transportation.
I have seen third world countries where they melt down selected plastics, add sand and make roofing tiles floor tiles and paving stone tiles that are durable and used to pave roads, kitchens and roofs. I want to see this made into 2, 3, and 4 inch clear plastic pipe for plumbing and sewage,.
If ever there was a place for robots and AI, sorting trash would be perfect. Robotics and training neural nets for sorting trash, engineering work for the future.
We need the German recycling program for the whole USA. Recycle by Law or get a fine $$. An No shipping it off to like the Philippines. You should see what has happened over there the pictures and videos are just horrid. They really need a hero. With your powers combined I am Captain Planet.
Robert Durbin the German System is amazing i live in Germany at events you have to pay for every plastic mug and when you give it back you get your money back no trash at all
@@MyLUK95 yes i remember I was station there from 2002-2010. I love it there because they recycled just as hard as i do. Also the nude swim at palm beach, the historical sites, Christmas market in Nuremberg, and a few distant relatives. I miss it. The real October fest, the salt mines, it was a second home to me. The first is the Redwoods and the Pacific ocean in California that i miss so much.
With a basic AI robot to knock each type of material into the separate areas, wouldn't the government benefit from a system like this at waste facilities, it surely means everyone can use one bin and the machine can sort the rest? Could we clear a few landfills with a system like this? Mhmmmmm

the per-attendee Trash as a Service (TaaS) model...
Love the videos showing groups and individuals making a positive difference in their communities.
Yes, it's inspiring and makes one feel good.
Yes, makes one feel good about the world.
More videos like this on actually saving the environment, please!
Yeah. They get my vote.
Great story. Good to have people who make a difference.

Heroic folks! (Dealing with the masses.)
They need plastic bottles shredders and injection machines to make and sell mugs for water and beer and plates for food. Lots of revenue paths

Thank you for covering this Zac, pitched the idea for this a couple of weeks ago to you on patreon.
Such amazing people.
In Denmark, we have small events all around, collecting trash in nature.
Very proud of these young folks who to step forward and implement a solutions that benefits us all. Thank you!

Great story, love the concept, keep up these kind of stories
So cool. This crew gets a primary spot on my speed-dial Environmental tab !!

Looks like the numbers would work to go public and cover the entire country. Lots of upside benefits all around
with such a huge area, looks like a zamboni style collector with sorting belt and bins on board with space for sorters would help collect over large areas...
Wow, these guys are the best.
Great vid, Zac. It's wonderful to see so many people focused on sustainability.
These guys are true heroes in Ohio (and beyond!). Keep up the great work!
Should turn the plastic into filament for 3D printers. You could print moments or just sell filament to attendees

This is fantastic, I am sharing this everywhere like crazy, also in the organization I am part of: everyday.earth
Wow, that´s how it should be though the amount of work invested is insane. So good it gets coverage. This has to be the norm in the very near future!
Cool business idea!
Come to Los Angeles Zero Waste!!
I have seen third world countries where they melt down selected plastics, add sand and make roofing tiles floor tiles and paving stone tiles that are durable and used to pave roads, kitchens and roofs. I want to see this made into 2, 3, and 4 inch clear plastic pipe for plumbing and sewage,.
Excellent!
This is amazing.
for more humans like these please
Great stuff
These people are visionairs
Don't drag the issue.scientific findings are available. Execute by Technologies.
They should get in contact with Precious Plastic dot com

..then ship it to Malaysia to be put in a landfill (like Australia)
Invest !!!

All those bags! I hope they are biodegradable. 🤓
So where does the trash go?
With a basic AI robot to knock each type of material into the separate areas, wouldn't the government benefit from a system like this at waste facilities, it surely means everyone can use one bin and the machine can sort the rest?
Could we clear a few landfills with a system like this? Mhmmmmm
