    Hey there, thank you for watching :) I've really missed making videos consistently so I'm very happy to be back. I'm sure this year has had so many ups and downs for all of you as well so I hope to share some positivity through these stories I've captured. This is the first one out of my trip and I've got plenty more coming your way. Let me know what you think in the comments and I'll see you again soon

    I have so many questions though. Ecological and economic concerns. Did the construction of the islands drive away marine life? Where did the brought-in sand come from and what methods did they use to make sure that the original place of the sand didn’t suffer any ecological disaster? Have they lost any money due to the slow buying process of the islands? etc. etc.

    • @max3446
      @max3446 2 ปีที่แล้ว +103

      No to be a downer but to answer your questions:
      "Did the construction of the islands drive away marine life?"
      Yes
      "Where did the brought-in sand come from"
      The bottom of the ocean, destroying numerous marine habitats in the process.
      "what methods did they use to make sure that the original place of the sand didn’t suffer any ecological disaster?"
      Essentially none as far as I can tell.

    • @thecougsy
      @thecougsy 2 ปีที่แล้ว +27

      They dredge the sand to create the island. Aka they take it from the sea floor and essentially pile it up into an island. The ship at 3:22 is doing this. It’s definitely bad for marine life

    The building of these islands has a big impact on marine life. The sand is taken from ocean floor, wich gets destroyed in the process, losing countless coral reefs and marine flora. All for what?
    Its not only unnecesary but really harmful for the environment
    In my opinion there should be more critical thinking on this kind of stuff (especially if you talk about being mindfull about the environment).

      You can typically intuitively (and visually) detect how a person feels about his/herself. With the money and assets that chairman has, it's highly probably he knows he is very powerful. Therefore he gives off that vibe. Just like an extremely insecure person who doesn't love themselves would give off a weaker, depressed vibe. You can always tell if you listen to your gut around people and observe their mannerisms
