This is great, but I wonder about the environmental cost of harvesting balsa wood on such a massive scale. Are there sustainability practices in place?
The boatbuilders did NOT learn how to build balsa-cored structures...they started building cored hulls in the mid-1960s and started using vacuum bags in late 1990s - early 2000s.
Interesting video! The wind turbine blades are a nightmare to reuse or recycle, some uses after wind but also costly. Because of this video I understand how making the turbines is a bad and expensive process including the environment impact.
I used to buy 1 meter sheets of balsa for about 2 bucks before 2020.. Now there 4 bucks a sheet, no thanks to the wind turbine industry hogging all the wood..

Two comments- one is who are all those Africans supposedly harvesting balsa in South America??? And in addition, when an impact occurs and the skin is cracked, hidden rot occurs in the balsa which soaks up water like a sponge. Many boatbuilders have switched to lightweight foam.

@@joeyjamison5772 indeed. But kind of need to wonder about integrity of this tale when a person repeatedly mistyped basic data, what else is off? Subverted by lack of editing I'd say.
Keep cutting it and do not plant new once and 50 years later the person becomes a desert and talking about climate change. Instead just planting new tree while cutting old onces
Would you have an email? I have a reasonable experience in using planted wood as a substitute for minerals and would like to share if it's of your interest Thanks
Sometimes it is hard to accept what's coming wrong from your own side. It is human nature I guess but truth must be plainly told not to hurt anyone but to correct someone.
I know it’s a totally different scale, but still I‘d like to compare: After WWII, we Germans really didn’t want to accept what we did wrong under Hitler. We called people who stood up and called the wrongdoings out „Nestbeschmutzer“ (Nest polluters). To this day people don’t want here what their direct ancestors might have done wrong But trust me. Critic is usually good. Especially for those who have a lot power
My first run in with balsa wood was throwable toy 10 cent airplanes around 70 years ago.
how old are you?

Anyone else wondering why the speaker is saying "Basla" multiple times? Just wondering about the proof reader of the script...
Speaker is a synthesizer. The scriptwriter misspelled Balsa as Basla.
The bane of AI robo-voices. One misspelled word and the gig is up.
Because it isn't a person, it's a computer. It just says what you type and apparently someone can't type
It's a double edged sword from what I've seen, but if it was me I'm willing to take the risk for a less plastic future
Hypocrit solutions, Putin is our last hope :)
Balsa wood is so easy to carve!
Amazing how light it really is
Those Balsa wood workers are from Papua New Guinea, not from Ecuador.
Nice to see the world class personal protective equipment and clothing that this responsible company ensures it's staff use
Oh, where is the overpaid fat cat safety nanny. Are you applying for the job. Let the indigenous be....
No goggles, no shoes in the last cutting scene! Probably no accident insurance, either.
Those forest workers didn't look like anyone from Ecuador.
Exactly. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
Hey u forgot to mention Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬,we grow and we also have huge shipments of balsa wood to South East Asia.
They should plant that kind of trees here in the Philippines
Farm-to-table restaurants are my favorite because they highlight the beauty of fresh, seasonal ingredients
They do indeed
Are you paying attention at all?
You posted on the wrong page. Try again.
Nothing to do w/ topic
Lets not complain about how the planet is suffering because we're killing it with these striping practices
Yea it is fairly shocking to watch

The video used is not Ecuador video taken is from Papua New Guinea🇵🇬north of Australia
Em chol ya
Eco “friendliness” of windmills is startling
Crazy to think that balsa is used in making those
IN TEXAS THEY HAVE TO PUT THE USED BLADES IN A LANDFILL DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO RECYCLE. THOUSANDS ARE STARTING TO BECOME A REAL DISPOSAL PROBLEM.

If u are startled by simply using wood, then go inhale more smoke from coal powered electrical generators😂😂😂😂
@@prilep5 Do you want to hear a crazy fun fact? Did you know trees are plants and therefore living beings which can be regrown?? 🤯🤯 Crazy right?!
The voice read the word 'BAS la' instead of 'bal sa' more than once without even thinking about it and no edits lol
What? You expect programmers and "artificial intelligence" to know to edit? YMBJ!😅
(You must be joking)
This is great, but I wonder about the environmental cost of harvesting balsa wood on such a massive scale. Are there sustainability practices in place?
In tropics there is no scarcity or rain will have very minimal effect if done in controlled fashion.
The boatbuilders did NOT learn how to build balsa-cored structures...they started building cored hulls in the mid-1960s and started using vacuum bags in late 1990s - early 2000s.
Oh, how good that “green energy” is for the environment!
Ecuador is NOT in Amazonia, so they are not "Amazonian trees".
Google it because you are wrong.
Parque Nacional Yasuní is in the Amazonia and that is part of Ecuador
I had a sponsored child in Ecuador, and he lived in jungle rainforest.
Interesting video! The wind turbine blades are a nightmare to reuse or recycle, some uses after wind but also costly. Because of this video I understand how making the turbines is a bad and expensive process including the environment impact.
Spruce goose 😮
Yeah in 1950s my brother built a balsa wood😂model plane..ah the palonia tree is very similar .😮
I used to buy 1 meter sheets of balsa for about 2 bucks before 2020.. Now there 4 bucks a sheet, no thanks to the wind turbine industry hogging all the wood..
Could make boat houses of the wood from windmills
Certainly not more resistant than plastics.
Balsa composite aircraft were famous for rotting away, if left in the rain.
And if a puncture occurred from impact, they would quickly rot in that localized area and produce weak spots that would spread with the hidden rot.
great materia
Thank you

crazy stuff... nice upload

how about pulai tree..it light and strange too.
Paulownia tree is also light and grows faster.
Maram than maram than, ellam maramthan, maranthan maranthan, manithan maranthan😢😢
Work with balsa on boats construction
1:24 SAID BASLA INSTEAD OF BALAS
I really hate those silly windmills.
is it paulownia?

USA use of Balsa wood for boats, airplane, sports and toys is ethical but China use of wood is unethical for no reason.🤣🤣

Use Bamboo
Theres a similar african tree okume i believe its called
got wood
Teak wood from india
Only for Rolls Royce .😢😢
BAHHZZZLAAA
Should make cars from it
Wood is the rarest substance in the universe
Hmm then to do that China used British engineers to show and explain how it works, how interesting😉
This industrial workers looks Papua New Guineans.... 😅😅
making videos is a daunting task ??? sell , sell and sell some more .
Keep cutting it and do not plant new once and 50 years later the person becomes a desert and talking about climate change. Instead just planting new tree while cutting old onces
fix the damn script that the bot narrator reads, it is Balsa not Basla and there are so many cases of the second...
It's BAL-SA.... PLEASE
They will destroy forest...This cutting needs to be stoped.
AI thumbnails are getting ridiculous.
To watch this destruction is soul destroying.

Omg, me too! 😂
Anyone else watching aware of the fact that wind turbine towers almost never produce as much energy as they took to build?
Sad but true.
Absolute bollocks. Just another ignorant keyboard warrior who has no idea what he is talking about.
