The problem is that the state cannot stop big companies from making plastic products at low costs🙄
Yes it can. Tax plastic production.
I don't understand modern humans you say the government is affecting your lives too much because they keep interfering but then you keep asking them to solve all your problems because you're too stupid to put something in the bin
@@dimamatat5548 -no need to. Waste plastics will be valuable, and the environment will be cleaner.
And why would you want to tax people even more anyway; -just to cause them more pains?
@@Davidwasghostedbyutube Not the people. The manufacturers.
@@dimamatat5548 what’s the difference? THINK.
Look man; ‘big government control’ is what Germany was during WW-2. It’s BAD! -okay? It’s FASCISM. We don’t need it! It’s not the American way. ‘You’ll get more flies with honey than you will with vinegar’.
Plastics are petroleum. Complete incineration reduces the material to their own original elements. ( oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon; plus gobs of energy!). The carbon goes back into the ground as new building blocks for plants. It’s self sustaining plus produces energy by the process which can power steam turbines for energy production!
Y’know, we don’t make the elements; they’re already here. Carbon does a lot more good producing food for us than clogging up our air and water; -right?
The problem is big corporations
No its stupid people that want to act like children and think that everything should be done for them including putting rubbish in a bin .
No, the problem is too many humans, let alone supporting corporations 🤦♂️
@288theabe petrochemical command produce, supermarkets wrap your food in it, you are forced to buy it and then are blamed for its existence. And who profits from it? Not you. Who pays for the clean up? You!
Why not go back 50years. Milk soft drinks everything came in glass bottles we paid an amount when buying the item took the empty bottle back with the screw to any got the money we didn't need plastic bottles and we never felt a need to walk around plugging coffee all day
This vid did a great job of breaking down the issues, the non-solutions, and the actual solutions. Well done, BBC.
It is so simple put things in the bin why are human beings so stupid now
This should be taught at school. We used to have short, animated, public information films on TV which were excellent at informing people. People don't watch so much TV nowadays so that's history.
This is as crucial as being able to tie your own shoelaces and should be taught at a young age.
If you actually think we need to be teaching kids in school how to put things into a bin I would suggest their wasting their time being educated in the first place . This is common sense put it in the bin we don't need government control or any other solution take responsibility for your own goddamn actions
@@James-kv6kb
Make them know why it important.
Save them from possibly becoming ignorant adults. Teach them about plastics.
Not sure why you're hostile.
@@Grid519 Not being hostile at all. I just can't believe how stupid human beings are now especially from a certain country that seems to be causing most of the problem. And you can't make anybody do anything that is not a good way of educating people . But as I said it's not that hard to teach people to put things in the bin and stop thinking that everyone else is going to come and rescue the situation . But of course they won't teach that in schools because they want you to be helpless
@@James-kv6kbBut people are not taking responsibility for their actions. That's the problem. It also appears to be an !mmigrant thing. They just seem incapable of putting things in bins.
It should not be taught at school because science says the opposite th-cam.com/video/B9-MPJoSBC0/w-d-xo.html
There are just too many types of plastics in use today. For plastics to be recycled and maintain its quality you would need to limited the types of plastics in use or very clearly label the types of plastics so they can be sorted more easily for recycling.
Single use plastic is bad… but also let’s be real recycling is a scam for plastics and so we should dramatically reduce its use
One was simply a very educational video about the reuse of plastic in our society. In recent years, many people have woken up to the plastic pollution problem. Lockdown especially, has motivated people to live greener lives.
Plastic pollution can feel overwhelming. But, a simple rule that many people use when wanting to reduce plastic pollution, is Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. This method can help limit your plastic use, use it more effectively and dispose of it sustainably.
Or people can be responsible for their own actions and put things in a bin , that's what we used to do before everybody became helpless Google sheep
*In India, there are bagasse (sugar cane pulp) single use paper cups and plates, which are being introduced to replace the same item of plastics.* Likewise Banana leaves are used as a one time usable lunch plate in South India, these materials completely eradicate plastics with natural and better options. This model can be replicated worldwide to reduce plastic usage as much as possible.
Upcycling wasted plastic into garments is not a solution. Washing man made fiber garments release huge amount of micro plastic fiber.
Corporations have to pick up the tab.
No human beings need to stop acting like helpless children and put things in the bin. If you're not capable of working that out then you should be banned from using the product
Agree.
It’s 100% on corporations to produce better products
@@Dangic23 you're not useless you have two hands put things in a bin
@@James-kv6kb
That is a given.
The chemical industries can improve their products.
But that might lower their billions in profits, so they don’t.
@@James-kv6kb
That have already finally admitted that recycling was a hoax they themselves created to keep pushing out inferior plastics.
Upcycling to clothes? Plastic based clothes is a huge source of microplastics.
One thing what can be done is government mandates a standard size for boxes and bottles for different quantities or volumes. Irrespective of who the maker is like Coca Cola or milk, 1 liter of that comes in same standard bottle. Thus you create a economy to reuse it by washing it
Nice info
You have really good responsibility for built peaceful world BBC.Everybody need accurately complete own responsibility.So, let's do it.
There are many things a consumer can do ,to eliminate plastic in there lives and it isn't that hard. I installed a Reverse Osmosis system under my sink for $350. Whenever i go anywhere, i always have a large Stanley stainless steel thermos in my car for drinking. This is just one of many ideas, but people are to hooked on these disposable plastic bottles.
Not all people care for the planet with such care in their minds. Making the law stronger is the way to control the flow of plastic products made, allowed, used, collected, sorted and compulsory recycle policy enforcements on the societies in place and strictly adhered.
While recycling can only be done 2-3 times, upcycling seems to be the only solution whereby you convert plastic into multiple forms multiple times ....
👍👏👌💯. Good objective report not alarming. .
Perfectly Said❤
Making sure it's Recycling worldwide !
30% of energy comes from renewables but the energy that goes into making that that doesn't, they put the onest on the consumer yet many items can't be purchased safely without plastics, hemp's the answer!
👌interesting and informative video.
Wind turbines are made with steel, concrete and glass fiber for the most part, recently also wood.There is minimal amount of plastic involved. Same with kevlar vests. You are mixing two different materials here.
Plastic recycling is not a solution at all and I wonder why it was even mentioned here. Same for "circular model".
Has anyone at any point fact-checked this video?
How to solve it? Stop making it
ABSOLUTELY!!!! We also need more of the country’s waste contractors to RECYCLE ALL TYPES OF PLASTIC!!!!
Or you could just put stuff in the bin
need more plastic out there
As soon as recycling plastic and re-plastic product can make profits, I absolutely believe people will gather them in the speed of light.
You know how the uk suffers from the worst roads in the world potholes like sinkholes. I have worked on loads of major roadworks projects all over the uk. The reason we have potholes is because of the, in my opinion absolute crap build spec to which our roads are built. First wee strip the soil and roll it out then we roll out a membrane called terram then a plastic mesh called geogrid then stone sand and rolled whacked and then the tar. Now that would be suitable in a warm climate with little to no annual rain. But we live in blighty and whats happening is the amount of water under soil is washing/eroding the layers used in roads away creating cavities which under weight buckle inwards creating potholes that and the winter frost freezing and melting worsens it more. So the plastic problem can solve the road problems. Melt it down into huge thick slabs and lay them on the ground and tar straight onto them no worry of weeds growing through less materials used no erosion no potholes/sinkholes could lay these slabs for miles upon miles would be faster aswell.
Hemp it's what was used before the invention of plastic but then it got demonised because it was associated with pot
There should be a disclaimer… “This infomercial was paid for by the plastic industry”. We firstly need LESS plastic.
I most certainly do not like the concept of recycled plastic for clothing. Personally I am content to incorporate recycled plastics into some products.
It Can Not Be Solved.
Recycle Would Only Making More Green House Gasses.
When I see startups with plastics organic, decompostable alternatives, I think that's cute. Producing a few tons of this materials will not even make a dent on the industry that consumes billions of tons of it.
All plastic needs to be recycled and used in making new products.
Manufacturers need to be required to use recycled materials in making new products.
If manufacturers were required to use recycled materials then they would also provide for making the product recyclability and create a market for their use.
Nice job ❤❤
Nice work, BBC! Unfortunately this problem is very actual now.
Did you read that statement before sending it because it doesn't make sense
@@James-kv6kbit's a 2 month old fake account, loads around
@@stequality just because it's a new account it doesn't mean it's fake . Not everybody got brainwashed at the same time
Plastic isn’t recyclable. At best, it can be reused a few times before it ends up in the environment for between 20 and 500 years. The best recycling facilities in the world doesn’t change those basic facts. In fact, the energy used to ‘recycle’ the plastic is another source of pollution. It doesn’t matter how many robes some monks are making…
Products need to be designed with recycling in mind., Today everything is made to throw away.
Reduce, Reuse and recycle everything.
Thank you for sharing, we created the problem, why?
Start talking about fishing gear BBC!
The plastic problem has to be solved by the chemical industries producing it.
The consumer has zero responsibility other than discarding it properly.
🙏✌️🙏
You must completely ban plastic
Why you have always very lenient approach to solving life and environment damaging problems!
That is very cruel and ruthless and unjust
It's a huge problem🍀, cause it's in most of our everyday food. 1 bottled water contains over 200000 pieces of plastic.
Fine companies who Manufactured it. And Recycle Recycle India is a boss in recycling.
Let teracycle put recycling stations all over the UK
Make wind turbines with recycled plastic and mount them on your roof.
Here in Western Canada a German cie makes plastics which pollutes the aboriginals' air to the point of hospitalizations.😢
The problem is the mindset of the people disposing of it. For example, just compare China with western Europe. Same technology - totally different outcome.
Can we build homes with plastic?
Awareness must also be there on whether or not we really need some of these single use plastics. Instead, think more on eco friendly alternatives and start educating about it to young children from the school level.
Go back to glass and make drinks a little more expensive, simple!
👍🤞♻️
There’s little evidence to suggest that microplastics in general cause significant health problems, it’s only specific chemicals in certain types of plastic that cause harm
in romania i made citi soda where in shops theres recycle and if a godzilla atk would happen i could still survive on plastic return , i found a way for my own efficency , not everyone returns the bottles.
🤔sound nice , but something worry about the science of this idea
start using metal and glass. easy.
Ban one use plastic. Let's get on with it and stop talking about it
Up cycling is necessary, but at the end of the day, it’s nothing more than a noble postponement of the “judgement day.”
Go at the root: make less new plastic, not more.
The problem is who pay for the destrucción the indistry or the population
Well, It will require bold actions, I see that the issue isn't taken seriously, We are still using single action plastic for bottles for drinks, Yogurts, Soaps... etc, In a way that is completely useless.
This is not A serious way of tackling the climate crisis
00:19 Don't forget microplastics were already found on human men testicles and human female placentas...
How much should coke,Pepsi, Nestlé, and frutiolay other pop and water and chips companies and govts..have to be charged for doing this? When one answers this..you get the money and accountability to at the sense of urgency to stop continuing with large scale destruction and then recycle will help.
Why not use glasses or aluminium.... Whaaatt it will cut big companies profits so they didnt want to do it!?
They are going to make food out if it and then feed it to us.
I'm at the 4:32 mark on pause. Unfortunately, the damage is done. You will never get all the plastic out of the sea. Go to places like India, Bali (I have seen it, ugly polluted plastic beaches) they will never care for the environment and enforce it. Many poor countries will just not do it.
Tree huggers. How about charging companies. How about not making electric cars which tires are big time polutants. Enough. Mosy
Plastics are too cheap, so people don't value them, and they are thrown away. The £20 note in my wallet is made from plastic, but I would never throw it away. Plastic bottles and plastic money are made from the same thing.
Give it value and people will respect it, in this case the value is it’s opportunity to be upscaled and or recycled into new products
Wow
❤
#BRING BACK GLASS BOTTLES….GOES BACK TO SAND…RECYCLED…..RE-USED…..
Solve it? Don't use plastic 😅
Meanwhile iam watching this video through plastic molded phone 💀💀
There is no alternative to plastics for example pvc used in coating aluminium and copper wires which is shock proof
ABS grade of plastic used in automotive like car and bike and pp grade used in molding items HD grade for blue crates and drums ; ldpe grade for packaging films
Iam not in support of plastic here the reason iam stating this is because the development rely on it
As worthy as this topic is, the BBC are by far the best media outlet to avoid any controversial topics on its YT channel. Their aloof smugness genuinely radiates out the screen.
They are not just a news company. They work for the government.
Wow... This screams propaganda.... I don't argue with plastic's usefulness or the science... but still...
Circular modeling should be an aspect of ANY material or item we make-
Plastic is necessary
ingredient in our food
WOW VERY DANGEROUS SIR! 😠😠BUT THIS WHY IM SO LUCKY LIVE IN SUPER INDIA THE CLEANEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD 🇮🇳🤗 , WE NEVER SCAM!

If I were Prime Minister of England, I would order the British Armed Forces, to invade Myanmar, even if France and Germany and America don't want to, I would tell Macron of France to take a hike if he didn't want to, free from prison, political prisoner, and Human Rights activist Aung San Suu Kyi. She is currently imprisoned on false charges of corruption and embezzlement, by a military junta that seized power in 2021. I think its outrageous that the West has stood by, and done nothing to try and release her from prison, or my name isn't Queen Victoria! Shame on us.
Amazing! Sunday May 19, 2024

Just stop making plastic.😢

Ученые установили странную связь между алкоголизмом и гениальностью
Исключительный талант к творчеству объяснили вредной зависимостью.
p.s.
ларчик открывается гораздо проще - психотип человека как "гурмана" своих эмоций, опирается и в случае творчества и в случае алкоголя, на одну и ту же громонально психологическую базу. если говорить про талант - так это умение "декодировать" и передать другому человеку свои эмоции и чувства. а "кушать" их умеют все. понять и точно по аптесному рецепту передать эмоцию - не сказать что бы таких людей было слишком много...
является ли это уважительной причиной для пристрастия к виски - нет. человек к нему может питать слабость, так как слушает голос своих эмоций. он же голос базовых инстинктов. но выпить или не выпить ящик виски - решение он принимает сам. в зависимости от того как он себя любит и "балует"...
- ааа! чертова белочка! микроскоп со мной разговаривает!
я как человек способный запомнить наизусть всю партитуру оперы за неделю - думаю имею право ответить на этот выпад...
More nonesense.
Why not make land out of it get some crops on yhe float this is my instinct
There’s a forgot one thing, the plastic can kill because people put junk plastic out at the sea is just sad really sad

You’re dreaming, filth, kids scavenging on rubbish dumps, bodies in the ganges, plenty of poverty that the rich choose to ignore. Get real.
Too bad Google has hastily hidden my article "The circular economy is a myth," or else I could have shared it with you.
Corporations Just Simply DONT CARE
