    CBS is so off the mark here. They don't even know what question to ask. It's obvious that plastic can be recycled, The right question to ask is can you make recycling economically viable. Being able to recycle plastic at 10 times the cost of manufacturing virgin plastic doesn't help anything

    It’s been decades of deception. They should be held accountable for all the damage they’ve done to the environment. And we need to start looking for other alternatives. Easier said than done since the plastic industry will do anything they can to prevent other materials from being used.

    Google "Houston fire recycle" and you can see what happens at these recycling places. Yesterday, just as this video was posted, there was a fire at one of them. It looked so much like the one in this video that I would not be surprised to find it is the same. If you google the phrase above, you will see that we have a fire at one every year for the last 3 years at least. This is their idea of recycling plastics-burn baby burn!

    Advanced recycling clearly doesn't work. Micro and nano plastics are being found in humans brains, hearts among other concerning areas. There's huge amounts of plastic that's killing wild life and polluting our drinking water. The plastic industry is lying to everyone so they don't lose money. It's always all about the money. I switched from plastic cups and bowls to stainless steel. I will be replacing all our toothbrushes to bamboo handled toothbrushes soon. I'm also going to be getting a second composting bin and I'll be composting all our tissues, paper towels and pizza boxes. Composting is the best way and to stop using and buying anything that contains plastic. It's not going to be easy because most things are made of plastic, but I've watched our recycling be picked up and dumped into the same truck as our trash.

    We should force a world wide shut down of plastic manufacturing for anything other than medical and safety use. And determine how to destroy what we've created responsibly. To be even close to able to do something positive. The oceans and such is worrisome. The next gen recycling is just the same plastic recycling lie we always have. We need collective and corporate responsibility for such waste... not individual drives and hope.

    The problem is as much petrochemicals, as it is scaling. Not every good idea or new invention should be replicated trillions of times. The obvious solution is to end plastic, which would be easy with a massive reduction in per capita energy and materials throughput. In other words, consumerism, scaling and fossil fuels are interconnected, and must be challenged together,

      Try doing it. It's not simple. Even your shirt is plastic. Your car. Your road. Your lights. Your couch. Your cookware. The concept we can do anything except shut down the plastic industry nearly in its entirety is simply almost always false. The idea we have other ways to make plastics that can be recycled is simply false. And I say that as a chemist who used to work in the chemical industry. Some biodegradable plastic and plastic like products are slightly better but not without their concerns.

    This was interesting reporting, yet. Inconclusive. One side says, yes, this will work. The other side says, no. This will never work, almost as if she doesn't want it to.
    Time will tell. Certainly, the oil industry has a long history of lying, including their efforts to disavow the reality of global warming. On the other hand, the amount of money involved is somewhat real, even for an oil company. If it does work, it can be scaled up. Even if it results in a portion of the plastics not being recycled, but being turned into burnable fossil fuels, at least it will help a teeny bit with the disposal and pileup problem.

    • @yula-tata623

      Recycled plastic into burnable fossil fuel extremely increases the global warming in contrary to the stored one in safety place (as the residuals of mammoths are stored for millions of years in permafrost protected from decaying, as soon as they become rotting, huge amount of CH4 and CO2 released in air).

    This is why we need Trump as president to audit the government to uncover the politicians that are in these companies pockets and actually find a solution to this problem. Plastic has it’s place, but not if it can’t be recycled. Outlawing these single use plastics would be a good start. This is about as dire of a problem as greenhouse gas emissions affecting our climate is.

    “Lucifer and the fallen angels was a nod to the fallen humans who were booted out of Eden.
    It is the same story with the same purpose: place fear of rebellion in the consciousness systems of humans.
    Make it strong and potent in the unconscious mind, and make sure that Lucifer, Satan and the devil mirror the trinity of good-the father, son and the holy ghost.
    Anu realized that the best way to make his human creation lean his way was to make the path to his kingdom appear virtuous and morally acceptable. And how do you do that?
    You have evil embodied in demons that are bent on enslaving humans and preventing them from following the virtuous path.
    “It created a perfect polarity of human beings progressing to the Kingdom of god while demons seduced and ensnared them.
    Angels and ascended masters were guides to show the way to the waiting kingdom.
    Eastern traditions used demigods,hierarchies of masters,
    meditation,but it was based on the very same polarity, which at its most basic level was light as good, and darkness as evil.
    “So with that said, let me return to your question about Lucifer and the Animus. The story of Lucifer is like a prop on a stage. With Lucifer in play, the stage is more dangerous. You can place blame.
    You can deflect blame and responsibility from the morally righteous and
    god-fearing humans.
    You can infer that your enemies are enslaved by demons that do the
    bidding of Lucifer or Satan.
    “This creates conflicts that lead to wars. This creates histories of conflict which sow generation after generation of people who are living their forefathers’ conflict.
    Amid all of this, god grows in stature and importance. Everyone wants to claim that god is on their side.
    “Lucifer was a catalyst to enlarge the importance of Anu.
    To make humans dependent on him even though they never saw him, heard him, tasted him, smelled him or touched him.
    He was in the universal field vis-à-vis the unconscious mind. It was programmed this way,and religious culture only made it feel more real.
    “The Animus were the Human 3.0 in the trajectory envisioned by Anu to support his infinite supremacy over humanity.
    His goal was to synthesize humanity with technology.
    The
    Animus were us in a potential future. There are government organizations, corporate entities and research institutions that share this same goal even as we speak.”
