@Egilde Seravalli This was great, thanks, I been tryin to find out about "alternatives to plastic bottles" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Denadison Simplified Dominance - (should be on google have a look )? It is a great one of a kind product for discovering how to find a great alternative to single use plastic minus the normal expense. Ive heard some decent things about it and my partner got excellent results with it.
In the old days (before plastic bags became so commonplace), people were more resourceful and less wasteful. Cardboard boxes were often reused to put your groceries in, fish was wrapped in newspaper and bags were often made of straw or paper. Whenever I go food shopping, I take a cardboard box off the shelves to put my shopping in. I will then repurpose some of the boxes to be used as parcels.
In Italy, we simply did not have takeaway restaurants until the Anglophone cultures kicked in. Hopefully, most people still sit at the restaurants and cafe shops to consume their orders. Unfortunately, much of the plastic comes from packaging, utterly unnecessary packaging! All over the world most products could be stored in big containers and refilled in small reusable pots when necessary. But possibly multi-national companies are not too interested in that option! Hence, people must boycott plastic, ask for alternatives and switch to a different lifestyle even if that takes a bit more sacrifice it will surely pay off in the long run! And please let's support small local businesses which are often the most sustainable one and a key part of communities...
The audio on this video is very low. The video before and after it blasted my speakers in comparison. I wonder if there is a way to increase its max volume.
@@deannar1155 is recycling profitable? as far as i know it actually loses money to recycle plastic. need good good alternatives (and easier to reuse wood, metal, steel, etc).
@@ericvaughn Reusing plastic and recycling plastic are not the same thing. Obviously we can't get rid of all plastic consumption but we do need to reduce the consumption of single use plastic. Plastic bags, plates, forks, spoons, straws, and take out containers ect. As they have a the highest carbon footprint even more so than motor vehicles.
@@deannar1155 Really? You want people to wash their plastic take-out container and bring it back to the restaurant for reuse? No, the most you can ask for is recycling that container. But even then, it won't actually be recycled because it's not profitable to the waste management company. The only answer is good alternatives. Where are the good alternatives?

I like your way in teaching AESOL.

Need good alternatives - where are they?. There's a reason we use plastic.
lol no there isn't. Plastic didn't exist a while ago and nobody died
It's not about getting rid of all plastic but single use plastic. And reusing plastic.
