Please change the title to "Why you should use less Plastic". That way, people know what they are getting into before they click on the video. Plus, it's more convenient and relates to the topic of the video.
Within the first 3mins they talk about carbon emissions for transportation, the excessive use of water and lack of efficiency. From experience i concur 100%.
Why is this homogenous plastic bottle rant entitled "Why you should never buy liquid hydroponic nutrients"? Hydroponics uses up to ninety percent less fresh water than conventional agriculture. You can, of course, choose hydroponic nutrients in powder form too. Liquid products are available in highly concentrated forms and are arguably easier to use. Hydroponics, in one form or another, is a big part of our food producing future so why create this faux polemic?
+Everest Fernandez (Just4Growers) All hydro ferts are made from oil & gas. You don't have to buy anything, (not even our fab tea product), to get great gardening results. Just compost / wood-chips/ worm-manure and rotational / companion-planting. Good eco-based gardening techniques save the most water of all, (conventional farming with synthetic ferts and "dead" topsoil washes water straight down the drain).
@Everest Fernandez most of these nutrients exist because of Cannabis cultivation (even if no company will outright say this is there largest market) and everybody should know hydro just makes things more complicated for the novice grower and no matter how good you are plants will always thrive in peak optimal health growing the natural way in nutrient rich soil cannabis quality especially benefits growing organically although you can produce top shelf bud with hydro its easier to let nature do the heavy lifting for us feeding the plants for us instead of leaving it up to our imperfect selves to feed the plants when they need to be fed, we cant outdo nature and need to just work with it instead of against it.
I agree that they're ranting for the first half of the video, but they do eventually point out that powders are cheaper (and less likely to use plastic, which I consider a minor benefit). I'm just gonna mix a (plastic) bottle of powdered fertilizer and then dose from that for a while, instead of buying more expensive liquid fertilizer. By the way, it's perfectly possible that liquid fertilizer can be cheaper than powders - it'd be fairly easy to evaporate the liquid and compare the price of the remaining powder, or even test them chemically. But I get the feeling that liquid ones are always gonna be more expensive because of the economy of scale and spoilage issues. Powders are used industrially, which lowers the cost for the rest of us, and it stores better.
I agree. when I was a kid, milk was delivered to your door in glass bottles and most people had an insulated metal box that the milk man put it in. Soda was primarily sold in glass bottles. I can remember when hardly anything came in plastic.
If we switched all plastic items to glass, that wouldn't be sustainable either. We'd probably run out of sand. Unless we can somehow use sand from the desert. We'd likely need to change our consumer habits as well as switching to compostable alternatives or at least less wasteful biodegradeable stuff.
@@justdefacts It is but it won't all be recycled and the demand for it will keep increasing so there might not even be enough for all that would needed to be in circulation.
I misunderstood the title.I thought it was a review of these products and analysis of whether or not they worked. In reality its simply a rant about the evils of plastic products.
I've been using a mix of bat guano, bone meal and poultry manure that I mixed with rain water and fermented in a glass pickle jar for two months then added a little white wood ash for this season. Its been working fantastic for me and is probably going to be what i use from now on in place of the grow I used to use.
1.1 k of viewers DO want to get ripped off, obviously! This is my first exposure to Josh and this is the most I've laughed since you discovered you can get high juicing your weed John! Thanks for bringing Josh on. I am so proud that there are people like him to represent or species as well as people like you to introducing us to them. The man is 100% on point with all he says and he boldly proclaims it! Bravo to Josh! I'm going to his site to by some stuff now. His passion and his wisdom should result in a windfall of business for him! I would trust a person like him with my money FAR more than invisible shareholders. I also trust him far more with the care of our planet and it's resources! I also liked the look on your face John as he spoke! I am so impressed with you for having him on. You should have him as a regular guest!
Boogie Brew does not offer any alternatives for hydroponics nutrients. Complain about the bottles all you want, but if you don't have something to replace it with, then your rant is meaningless. If you grow your plants in soil, then Boogie Brew has products for you. Otherwise, you're stuck with nutrients in plastic bottles.
This video should change the title from don't use plastic. I still did not get why not to buy liquid hydroponic. Was it just because it came in a plastic bottle. I guess we should stop spending money also because that has plastic also. There are worst things then plastics. Like cutting down tress and not planting them back when on is cut down.
Salvador Vazquez Jr EVERYONE PRESS THE THUMBS UP ON THE VIDEO FOR JOSH! PLEASEEE DON'T FORGET THUMBS UP FOR BEING AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE A BIG THUMBS UP!
Better still, buy a stainless steel water distiller. My distller handles 12 gallons and has no plastic on it anywhere except for the hoses. And I consider this much better than a nasty, plastic waster filtration system that can leach more nasty chemicals into your water. Not safe at all.
Rai R I have this model. Alas, it's not made in the U.S. but I don't have an issue with it because all of the products made in the U.S. have more plastic on them. waterdistiller.com/water-distiller/distiller-american-water/american-water-distiller-9hc.html
I don't mean this in a disrespectful way, but were you guys tripping on LSD when you made this film? Some of the guys on the picking crew think: That's acid for sure. But then, some of the guys, say, nope, they are smoking crystal. So, would you please let us know? Oh and Shannon, our bookkeeper, is alone in thinking you're on Ecstasy, and she's pretty sharp. BTW, you might want to simmer down a bit and stop screaming at us. Your message is good. Speak in a more conversational tone at a lower volume, and people will have to really pay attention, they'll have to lean in closer to their computers. Just saying...
Why you didn't talk about the alternatives and if they are as effective as the chemical ones for hydroponics...? This was basically a ranting of 20 + minutes that could have been done in less than 10 minutes...
all plastic should have a deposit, i used to work at a recycle plant and we chopped it all and washed and then melted then turned it in to pellets again i save all plastic and 4 times a year i take a truck load of plastic to the recycle bin, you can recycle allmost all plastic it is wrong not to, and if you save it and you will see just how much you use, and ave by recycleing
What Josh said really hit me. I was wondering how someone like me who doesn't have access to those things like vegan mix, and other dried fertilisers could get them. Then I realised I can go to the shops I use and ask them to order the brands I want, perhaps ordered just for me.
John I found it very offensive it seems like you were making fun of your own guest. I believe he has a great point of view if you really go deep into this issue. I have more great respect for Josh Cunnings, because as we know a lot of people take this as a joke not a reality. He is not crazy, he is just awake.
yes! people get stuck on the wrong things. look at the beauty of the video. yes he is a bit extreme with his come off, breathe and relax, the information he says is great and valid. Think of the youth and their youth what type of environment will they live in? if there is even one.... I drink out of glass bottles. I bought a few half gallons for a couple dollars (it's super cheap to buy good quality glass containers, just google). Glass breaks yes, but why are you dropping your products? it's through safe guarding the products, we lose our abilities as humans to carry things and properly handle objects. I have an echo 9 water machine, this is how I obtain the pure quality of water for around your $0.35/gal request. water is a right, we need to look to the Indians way of living and synergistically living with mother earth, instead of raping her for profit. we are no different then pimps, stop pimping nature and plant a garden. live in peace and vote with your dollar. peace love and abundance
I love seeing Josh on the channel, and I would love some actionable instructions on how to go plastic free when absolutely everything in the stores is packaged in plastic. I hope there's a video on this soon.
I totally agree, Josh isn't afraid to do the right thing even if people might label him as 'extreme', he IS extreme: extremely correct in what he's saying.
I just love these chats you have with Josh, a bit like a clockwork toy. You just wind him up and off he goes. As always Informative & entertaining. Great work guys keep it up.
Hi, I'm 100% ok with his comment about how plastics are dangerous, but 2 things shock me a little: - He talk to the camera with a t-shirt print with a plane, I don't know if he had it because he like it or because he's a plane enthusiast, but do he know how many fuel is spend to make a plane fly ? Especially big Airbus and Boeing plane. It's just a remark but talking about pollution with a plane on your shirt is a little contradictory for me. - Ok, we all stop buying plastics in a short amount of time, but how many peoples are going to be jobless, and how many years for so many workers (truck drivers, operative, sellers, ...) to find a new job ? I know this argument cannot be take in consideration to save the planet but what we are going to do with them ? It's easy to say save the planet, but thinking about the consequences of your actions and arguments are also an important matter. To conclude, I can say he's right, there are to many plastics elements in our society, but the thing I use right now to write this message is a keyboard with a lot of plastics, the camera that they've used to make this video had a lot of plastic in it, and right know there are not really a realistic alternative for them. But I'm going to try using less plastics bottles, it's a first step, but there are so many things who's polluting our planet, not just plastic, it feel a little to much overwhelming.
caldrissian The argument of all people in the world eliminating plastics is the same argument that people make to vegans about what would happen to all the cows if everyone went vegan overnight. It's an erroneous argument because it's simply not possible and can and won't happen. You can't get 7 billion people to change overnight or even just a relatively short time frame. The reality is, even with the information out there, it will be a gradual change and yes jobs will be lost but much like losing jobs by weaning off of fossil fuels where employees (and there are examples of this happening) are now working for solar and wind companies, the same goes for plastic. You eliminate the plastic and let it be something else (like glass), therefore creating more jobs in the glass department because the demand is higher. It's simple economics. The shirt statement is reaching a bit much, since you or I don't know the context behind the shirt. Lastly, I applaud you for taking the step to try and use less plastic bottles. I want to recommend the film 'Bag It' for more info on plastic, going beyond just bottles. And know that ya, lots of other things are polluting the world but that isn't a reason to not strive to reduce plastic. It's like the saying goes, 'don't do nothing because you can't do everything, do something, anything.' :) Cheers, Aubrey
+caldrissian Agree 100% the shirt was improper. It was just what I wore the day JK asked me to suddenly talk, etc. Planes SUCK, big-time! (Even Peter Gabriel refuses to fly anymore). Average commercial jet-liner spews carbon-equivalent of over 5000 cars in first mile of take-off flight. That's insane.
Wow he was so great - I am on board going to change my lifestyle as much as possible because the reality is that up until today I was a plastic junkie except for I was staunch against plastic bags thanks to what I learned from Surf Rider Foundation. Time to step it up and reduce the rest of plastic in my life.
BeachCityPrepper Wahoo!! Love to see stuff like this. If you need any tips, I've been living plastic free for a year and can give you so many tips and links if it would help. :)
I would LOVE some tips on how to REALLY get rid of plastic spring water in plastic bottles. I have heard the advice to use filters (on the faucet, britta, etc), to use distillers and reverse osmosis. The problem I have with tap water is the added CHEMICALS including chlorine, flouride, etc. The problem I have with the solutions: distilled and RO are causing mineral leaching in the body of several friends who are now sick BECAUSE of their water "purification". And Britta and co., only remove the "taste" and "odor" of chlorine not the chlorine - according to their packaging. And note britta and faucet filters are usually PLASTIC. How about a bubble stone like those used in hydroponics to make the water safe enough for plants to drink? (Why is the water NOT ok for them but ok for us? Why is the bubbled water ok for them but not for us?) How about distilled water to which is added diatomaceous earth overnight and or DE with red clay (such as from tractor supply) - will that remineralize the water? How about boiling the water? Does that remove chlorine and flouride and all the other chemicals? Boil then filter? ........? HELP. Any SERIOUS help would be appreciated. As for going 100% plastic free, I don't see that as a realistic option except in daily choices like water bottles etc. My ref is plastic, car is plastics, thermostat, wiring, outlets, vinyl siding, carpets, flooring, cushions, computer, you know the list ..... But I can stop buying plastics on a regular basis.
Last time some environmentalist showed me a chart of population growth, with the "By 2050" BS, I asked him, "Don't we have too many people now?" He was saying how much energy we use, how we should freeze in our homes to save energy, how we should save the forests. I asked, "Look at the populous areas, assuming we all live off the grid, what if all those people had to use wood to boil their water?" What was his answer? We should all be drinking bacteria, etc.-infested water to build up our immune systems as children. I didn't want to start a big debate with him, but do you know what this means? Do you know how many children would have to die before we evolved our guts to tolerate that abuse? Would you be the first to put your kids through that experiment? BOTTOM LINE: Until there are bountiful trees for us all to boil water using wood, THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE ON EARTH. NOW. NOW. NOW. Not 2050. Bitching for a paycheck. That's all he was doing.
let's all have a round of applause for DuPont for 1. forcing marijuana to b illegal so they could steal the navy rope contract w a far inferior product IE nylon 2. creating all these lovely hormone ruining and estrogen mimicking plastic poisons
Apples fall from apple trees (Josh, your father would be proud!)...yeah, a "rant", but one man's rant on single use plastic is not too different from another man's rant on rock dust and/or raw foods' nutritional value for our health! - both with huge merit turboed with passion!!! - Love the rants when it's genuine & factual, please keep em coming, you're changing my path in this life, one rant at a time! - Mike (Josh - Boogie Brews' TX Ambassador) PS - good thing you're not trying to change my religion! Amen Brothers!!
In the first few minutes it's easy to just dismiss Josh' presentation as a fanatical exageration......I found it passionate and eye popping-revealing. This message needs to be spread widely. Great episode John! Thanks Josh.
Ok, I get it, don't waste money on the plastics and the premixed solutions. I WANT to make my own Hydroponic Nutrient solutions. Could you PLEASE do a video without the rant, without the long winded 25 minute long explanation of why and just give us an instructional on HOW to do it, what a good recipe is for Vegetative growth and a good recipe for Flowering/Fruiting?
Which boogie brew should I use for hydroponic systems?? Work with me..its OK to rant because its true people~! Someone needs to shout it....so please answer my question so I can bookmark this ever so worthy boogie down mix to grow the healthy plants with no plastique..)) Thanks John...good message...You go Josh~!
+MyBrucester (Sorry for late reply). Just add Boogie as a foliar and top-feed weekly, then reduce hydro ferts strength by 50-75%. And thanks for the 'attaboyz!
The title should have been "Banish Plastic...a rant by Josh Cunnings." I agree that plastic is unnecessary in a lot of applications. I think we can adjust our use of plastic. I'm all for the "Reuse, Renew, Recycle" way of thinking and have made drastic changes in my home, but "banish"? No, we don't need to banish it. We can use less and we just have to use it wisely, more wisely than we have been.
I’d probably give a shit if I came here for a plastic is evil rant. I came here for how Liquid nutrient is somehow less effective then dry nutrients. Not some self promoting BS, and old man complaining about plastic.
yes it's a rant.....why not use these hydroponics fertilizer, because it's basically bottle water. You just met Jon's brother from another mother. just as passionate LOL
Soooooo I don’t know what this even has to do with how liquid nutrient is not better/ or less efficient then dry nutrient products. The dry ones will still be in plastic. Everyone is obsessed with plastic good fucking luck with influencing people to do otherwise. Please change your title!!!! This was a waste of my time!!!!
Plastics can be made from organic matter instead of oil. There are also 3-D printers which can recycle plastics into new bottles or into something else. We just need to get rid of the petroleum bottle dependence.
+Outbound Earthman Indeed. I've even considered how stoked we'll be when we start using infinitely recyclable plastics for everything, we can sequester the co2 in the atmosphere in a material that we can base a renewable society on.
Good point! I can't wait till 3D printers are so cheap they're as ubiquitous as microwaves are today. If the material supply could be old bottles...now that would be fucking amazing. Imagine if all the junk most of us have, could be fed into a 3D printer and converted into our imagination. The future is so exciting ( just need to lose governments & their wars ) peer to peer economy will help with that tho...
And now that he's shamed me for using plastic, now what??? Start hauling clay jugs of water around? Give me an option, or think of a solution! He said it himself, he still uses the large plastic containers to drink water from. And who on earth wants to lift at 5 gallon glass water cooler container? Me myself I got nothing to prove, and I'm not Fred Flintstone.
Great rant. People need to hear the facts sometimes. This has definitely had a positive effect on my grow store purchases. No More Plastic Bottled Liquid Nutrients! ... and they certainly are a rip off! I don't see why so many folks are having trouble understanding the simple point of this video. Thanks John and Josh.
My wife and I have stopped the purchase of anything in plastic .we did this because we thought it was affecting our health and when we saw that there is mile wide floating garbage floating in the ocean. We both were shocked ! Fresh reverse osmosis water tastes great!
+Dritman hmmm We all have different experiences a RO system in my home works wonders. our water is cleaner than a regular filtered water. Best thing I've ever bought. I've had other friends try my water and they also purchased a RO System.
I don't believe it takes that much oil to make a plastic bottle. Companies make products for profits. That is not economically viable and therefore unprofitable. I'm going to go out on a limb and say "propaganda alert" be wary. If it is true maybe it is because the economics of oil is rigged. And then it would be time to point the finger at the policy-makers in office, not the consumers who need to buy milk or water. I would be interested to learn more but not enough to look it up myself as I have enough facts of reality to depress me.
Hell YES! The first Josh rant I heard was the one from the cannabis and coconut smoothie where the drink caused an unexpected side effect. This one is BETTER! I love to hear this guy speak because he says what EVERY thinking person MUST BE THINKING and he doesn't beat around the bush. John, you need to tag all of the Josh videos with his name in the keywords so we can search for them - or better yet, create a playlist of them for your channel. I've been using my own extreme water filtration system for all drinking, cooking and ice-maker water for about a decade now, but before that I'm embarrassed to admit that before that I used gallon water jugs in the house and liter ones on the go. Then one day I had a WTF epiphany when I (finally) realized that wasting a valuable resource like oil to produce throwaway landfill was asinine in the extreme. And the recycling is, as Josh says, a joke. We can't use the resulting product for any food, drink or medical purpose, so it's used to make plastic park benches, deck "lumber" and other items whose biodegradable half-life is probably something like 100,000 years... like plutonium - or something. This insanity has to stop ASAP.
Nice vid but now even oeganic fertilizers store bought are no good? How does the average gardener get going when all of these new age products are needed and one day organic store bought us ok and the next day it isn't . What do we use? Maybe Boogie Brew is the only way to go, isn't that convenient. In my opinion, use the best you can afford and use the best growing practices you can but seriously, you do not need all of this stuff to have a garden
1) I loved this video, love to see the passion in fellow lovers of the environment! 2) It's not just plastic bottles but plastic altogether. About a year ago I finally connected the dots that if I don't support fossil fuels then I should stop allowing plastic in my home, plastic of every kind and there is plastic in and on darn near everything from the sticker on your apple, to the synthetic shirts people wear, the carpets they walk on, to the very bottles you are discussing. So I've made it a point to strive to eliminate ALL plastic. 3) Regarding those refillable water stations, they also sell stainless steel (on lifewithoutplastic.com) that you can use to fill up. Klean Kanteen is also a great stainless steel water bottle source that you can carry around and reuse. And for a question I have, as I've been having trouble finding a dried plant food that doesn't come in a plastic bag. In fact, partially because I'm vegan, I have been using that exact Vegan fertilizer but have been disappointed that it's in a plastic bag within the box because, to me, plastic is plastic (be it a bottle or bag). So I'm interested in your Boogie Brew and want something truly plastic free, not just plastic bottle free. My question is, is your boogie brew sold in paper only? As in is the packaging only paper, so not lined inside with plastic (since many paper products are deceiving as they will be sold in a box but the fertilizer/food is in a plastic bag, like that Vegan fertilizer, within the box or are in a paper bag that is lined, on the inside, with plastic). Could you please clarify the type of packaging for the Boogie Brew? Thanks so much for this video! Hope to hear from ya, Aubrey P.S. Other great resources for people who want to learn more about plastic and get themselves off are the Documentary 'Bag It' (which starts with a man eliminating plastic bags and then moving to eliminate plastic completely after he learns more about it), the book 'Plastic Free' by Beth Terry (an incredibly comprehensive book on plastic and how to live without it) as well as her blog myplasticfreelife.com
Awesome principles that you are living by! Vegan Mix comes in paper-only packaging on the larger sizes, (25lbs + 50lb size).. Boogie products are always packaged in 100% plastic-free and recycled paper, breathable / biodegradable packaging.
Organic Grow You know, it's really rude to flood people's inboxes by yelling comments and putting them on every single comment possible. Please don't do this. It makes people less likely to 'thumbs up' something. It's like the people on Instagram who go to every account possible asking for follows. It comes off as both inconsiderate and desperate. Seriously, when quality is good people will vote that way. Let people make their choice without interfering.
Sorry you are right I should have gone to this extreme but it was in the moment I was all hyped up wanting to tell the world I really loved the message. I even went door knocking in my neighbour hood telling everyone this message & refering them to this video, I sent all my Viber & Whatsapp contacts the message, at work I sent an all staff email with the hyperlink. Sorry I will try & control my self in future maybe not in upper case next time. Have a lovely day, you are a beautiful person.
Organic Grow You know, it's a lesson I learned when I first went vegan back in 2007. My first year or two as a vegan I preached. I wanted the whole world to know all that I learned. And what I found was that it pushed people away. People don't like to be pushed around and I don't blame them even if, like with you, it's coming from a place of passion and a whole lot of heart for the topic. Now I say, teach don't preach. Do, like you are doing by sharing it, and offering the information to people so they can make their own decision instead of preaching which is telling them what to do. Do know that I know you spoke from a place of heart. I just wanted to share a lesson I learned some time back. The point is not to lesson your passion but just alter how we share what we've learned, whatever the topic may be. Cheers to you and a lovely day as well. Sincerely, Aubrey
John, you need to counsel Josh. The bigger the government the less you should trust it. I am disturbed that he actually trusts the UN to do anything that will be good for him.
And what about energy bars? Six wrappers a box or more from the larger packs. I love Luna bars but I always wonder "what happens to my wrapper"? Times how many thousands of (or more) people eating the same thing? We are a plastic nation. I carry my Kleen Kanteen water bottle everyday and coworkers look at me like I'm really weird, while they guzzle from their plastic water and sports drink bottles. Then they comment about how they don't drink soda pop and they are much healthier then people who do. So I like to direct them to the ingredients listed in their sport drink and the fact they are drinking from a plastic bottle. You are not drinking a healthy drink! Thanks for the great information and inspiration.!! Thank You, I will make more changes in my life.
+Jan King I just love my klean kanteen insulated because it's stainless steel and keeps my hot tea blazingly hot. Nothing else will do. Plus it survives stupid abuse - I've dropped it too many times to count. All the plastic thermos that I've bought are crappy...
astrangeone I totally agree. I have bought those plastic insulated cups at a convenience store and as always they would start to leak or I'd loose the cover. I have both insulated Klean Kanteen and two sizes of non insulated. They last and last! Hard to convince others to change their ways. So many people love their "stylish" plastic water bottle. And their "healthy" sports drinks. I have given the insulated Hydro Flask bottle as a gift and it is used all the time!
John and Josh make such a great team! I have been watching all of your videos and it's great to see people spreading this great message with such passion. Boogie Brewer for life!
i agree with you 100% and dont lose this passion i know some take it as weird. Im the same and get negative comments all the time like im the crazy one Rant on mate
people may not realize how much plastic is used in a normal home daily, throw the used plastic in a corner some where and watch just how much plastic used, everything is plastic now it seems and it All can be recycled. it is sick, mostly when it ends in a land fill when it can be re recycled to plastic bags to toys to cars
How else do you propose transporting liquids in food grade, unbreakable containers? Single serve containers are wasteful and our culture does produce far too much trash but this rant is over-generalised. I've been running a hydroponic/organic urban garden store for 7 years now and we don't only sell liquid fertilizers. Dry organic nutrients are considerably lower in nutrient value than the concentrated liquid products sold and many dry organics are just as heavy for the same volume. Mineral based hydro nutes work better in a liquid state because of the ionic balance needed for plant uptake, and are far easier for inexperienced growers to measure and dissolve properly into their water, choosing a brand that is more concentrated than another is an easy way to be more 'green'. Many highly specialized products, incorporating amino acids, humic and fulvic acids, organic extracts and bio fermented metabolism enhancers can only be produced and sold as liquids, and if you have experience and pay attention, you know which products are useful, redundant or inferior. We don't push products, we push knowledge and let you make up your own mind. Also, I used to sell Boogie brew products, he brews his tea in PLASTIC buckets with water filtered through a plastic filter with nutrients that I sell in my Hydroponic store. Hypocritical marketing...
You are making a mistake by thinking that the guy in this video uses logic and facts in his reasoning. I mean, we're talking about a guy that claimed it takes 100 ml of oil to make 17 ml of plastic, which is only 5% oil.
@@theskeletonboi I thought the implication that Josh was pointing out was that the 100 ml of oil was due to the fuel required to move the weight of the liquid fertilizer that is mostly water to begin with. So the plastic bottle is unnecessary pollution and the form factor of liquid fertilizer is also a waste, and a marketing scam.
HAHAHAHA this guy filling a bottle 20% full of "oil" and saying that's how much oil is used to make that bottle! its 20% of the plastics weight! not the volume it can hold you nutter! an empty bottle weights what? 10g? that's 2g of oil, barely enough to coat the bottom of the bottle! After that I cant take this guy seriously!
+calum B I found that quite ridiculous as well. It's a shame that he diluted his credibility with such an obvious mistake because I do feel that our continued reliance on plastic is harmful to our bodies and the planet in many ways.
its made to look like oil he didnt put oil in it, What he is saying is true, it made from oil then to the size of a pea then ran through a process to blow into a bottle
What about the pros and cons of liquid versus solid nutrients? To say that liquid nutrients have absolutely no pros, is a little overboard if you ask me.
That is my though on gardening as well, I never truly understand the concept behind artificially synthesized nutrients. Being a science student I know how energy consuming to extract/recycle nutrients from waste like kitchen scrap when the power of nature can totally do it more effectively, worm compost bin could produce more nutrients effectively than any nitrogen fixing factory in the whole world! People need to know what is the cost behind these kinda stuff
Even though he goes a bit off topic , he makes multiple very good points through out.. It's because he is a free thinking person in a world full of sleep walkers.. People some often refer to it as awake.. The difference between thinking humanity is doing good and in a state of progress, with nothing wrong, and those with brains that havn't been taken over by mind control that know otherwise Some guy once said .. ''there are those who see, those who see when they are shown, and those that don't see'' And the topic this guy covers here doesn't even scratch the surface of what is really going on in the world, which most people are completely and utterly oblivious to and purposefully dumbed down to
Im glad he said what he said. Im just genuenly honestly shocked at the negative feedback from people here in the comments. I find people seem to have this instant reaction of not wanting to really know the truth or change, even when if u properly think about it the solutions end up being easier in the end anyway. Like he made some very good well thought out points but everyone just straight away dismisses everything he says as a "radical rant". Even the guy beside him undermining what he says all the time.
+ItsFrenzy26 Hmm I would have to partially disagree. A lot of people that claim to be "woke" actually just get there information from anti establishment based people and sites. They are not actually looking for real proof of what they get told. Their confirmation bias will make them believe anything that someone who seems to have similar beliefs as them says. To be truly awake you need to listen to what all sources have to say. Hear both sides arguments. Then look for real science that has been proven again and again. If this science does not exist then do the experiments yourself. If you cannot then you have no sure way of confirming or debunking the information. Just because someone grows organically or talks about how the "Man" is ripping us off and controlling us does not mean they are more intelligent or wiser. Most of it is paranoia.
Some things need to be said. I appreciate the lesson on plastic waste. I admire him for being so passionate. I wish more people could care this much. Thumbs up!
Nam Nguyen The reason is because you are getting ripped off when you buy any liquids, period. And the true cost is also that of environmental catastrophe with all the world's plastic. It's sickening. Time to end the madness, period.
Most plastics are a Parafin byproduct of oil. I am not the biggest supporter but there is a time and place for everything. Bottles are not made from oil they are made from a waste product that would just be thrown out anyway. You need to stop driving, using electricity and fossil fuels. It's not the people that are the problem. Do you understand what it costs in resources to run industry and or military complex? I'm tired of fear mongering against people. It is what it is really do what you need for your garden and budget.
Judah Seeds Plastic bottles are made from hydrocarbon gas liquids (HGL) and natural gas (www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.cfm?id=34&t=6). Therefore, be it a byproduct or not it's still fossil fuels being needed to make plastic bottles, bottles that take 500 years to decompose (among their other issues). Do I think we should stop driving cars using fossil fuels and electricity using fossil fuels? Yes. Five months ago I sold my car and use electricity powered by solar and wind. And is using fear a tactic I support? No. Nevertheless, plastic is a wasteful product that should be eliminated wherever possible and does absolutely contribute to the use of fossil fuels.
Maybe the guy on the right should go the church,WTF he seemed so transfixed on himself at the start of the vid it freaked me out. Somebody need to tell him You get one chance to get your point across, If you come across as a rambling nut bag nobody's gonna listen weather the message be true or not. He needs to sit down and revisit this if he wants to get through. Me im out of here this is driving me out of my mind It nothing more than a rant.......

That way, people know what they are getting into before they click on the video.
Plus, it's more convenient and relates to the topic of the video.

Frank Bonilla that was fuckin hilarious and prophetic!
And it didnt need 5 mins to bash plastic, one minute would have cut it
No no your stupid prophetic fuck he needs to mention the nutrients im order to grab to attention 2 in 1 but u see the point
Within the first 3mins they talk about carbon emissions for transportation, the excessive use of water and lack of efficiency. From experience i concur 100%.

Why is this homogenous plastic bottle rant entitled "Why you should never buy liquid hydroponic nutrients"? Hydroponics uses up to ninety percent less fresh water than conventional agriculture. You can, of course, choose hydroponic nutrients in powder form too. Liquid products are available in highly concentrated forms and are arguably easier to use. Hydroponics, in one form or another, is a big part of our food producing future so why create this faux polemic?
+Everest Fernandez (Just4Growers) All hydro ferts are made from oil & gas. You don't have to buy anything, (not even our fab tea product), to get great gardening results. Just compost / wood-chips/ worm-manure and rotational / companion-planting. Good eco-based gardening techniques save the most water of all, (conventional farming with synthetic ferts and "dead" topsoil washes water straight down the drain).
another stupid comment poor josh lol
Boogie Brew
I LOVE you and your entire philosophy, your father should be very proud of you, I am!
@Everest Fernandez most of these nutrients exist because of Cannabis cultivation (even if no company will outright say this is there largest market) and everybody should know hydro just makes things more complicated for the novice grower and no matter how good you are plants will always thrive in peak optimal health growing the natural way in nutrient rich soil cannabis quality especially benefits growing organically although you can produce top shelf bud with hydro its easier to let nature do the heavy lifting for us feeding the plants for us instead of leaving it up to our imperfect selves to feed the plants when they need to be fed, we cant outdo nature and need to just work with it instead of against it.
I agree that they're ranting for the first half of the video, but they do eventually point out that powders are cheaper (and less likely to use plastic, which I consider a minor benefit).
I'm just gonna mix a (plastic) bottle of powdered fertilizer and then dose from that for a while, instead of buying more expensive liquid fertilizer.
By the way, it's perfectly possible that liquid fertilizer can be cheaper than powders - it'd be fairly easy to evaporate the liquid and compare the price of the remaining powder, or even test them chemically. But I get the feeling that liquid ones are always gonna be more expensive because of the economy of scale and spoilage issues. Powders are used industrially, which lowers the cost for the rest of us, and it stores better.
The dry dusts can be dangerous to breath in. Invest in a good dust mask if your giving up the liquids.

I agree. when I was a kid, milk was delivered to your door in glass bottles and most people had an insulated metal box that the milk man put it in. Soda was primarily sold in glass bottles. I can remember when hardly anything came in plastic.
Holy shit how old are you
If we switched all plastic items to glass, that wouldn't be sustainable either. We'd probably run out of sand. Unless we can somehow use sand from the desert. We'd likely need to change our consumer habits as well as switching to compostable alternatives or at least less wasteful biodegradeable stuff.

You should have him as a regular guest!
That's a world class rant. Beautiful!
HAHA truly a work of art indeed. Legend
Boogie Brew does not offer any alternatives for hydroponics nutrients. Complain about the bottles all you want, but if you don't have something to replace it with, then your rant is meaningless.
If you grow your plants in soil, then Boogie Brew has products for you. Otherwise, you're stuck with nutrients in plastic bottles.
This video should change the title from don't use plastic. I still did not get why not to buy liquid hydroponic. Was it just because it came in a plastic bottle. I guess we should stop spending money also because that has plastic also. There are worst things then plastics. Like cutting down tress and not planting them back when on is cut down.

Better still, buy a stainless steel water distiller. My distller handles 12 gallons and has no plastic on it anywhere except for the hoses. And I consider this much better than a nasty, plastic waster filtration system that can leach more nasty chemicals into your water. Not safe at all.

I don't mean this in a disrespectful way, but were you guys tripping on LSD when you made this film? Some of the guys on the picking crew think: That's acid for sure. But then, some of the guys, say, nope, they are smoking crystal. So, would you please let us know? Oh and Shannon, our bookkeeper, is alone in thinking you're on Ecstasy, and she's pretty sharp. BTW, you might want to simmer down a bit and stop screaming at us. Your message is good. Speak in a more conversational tone at a lower volume, and people will have to really pay attention, they'll have to lean in closer to their computers. Just saying...
Why you didn't talk about the alternatives and if they are as effective as the chemical ones for hydroponics...? This was basically a ranting of 20 + minutes that could have been done in less than 10 minutes...
all plastic should have a deposit, i used to work at a recycle plant and we chopped it all and washed and then melted then turned it in to pellets again i save all plastic and 4 times a year i take a truck load of plastic to the recycle bin, you can recycle allmost all plastic it is wrong not to, and if you save it and you will see just how much you use, and ave by recycleing
What Josh said really hit me. I was wondering how someone like me who doesn't have access to those things like vegan mix, and other dried fertilisers could get them. Then I realised I can go to the shops I use and ask them to order the brands I want, perhaps ordered just for me.

I drink out of glass bottles. I bought a few half gallons for a couple dollars (it's super cheap to buy good quality glass containers, just google). Glass breaks yes, but why are you dropping your products? it's through safe guarding the products, we lose our abilities as humans to carry things and properly handle objects.

Hi, I'm 100% ok with his comment about how plastics are dangerous, but 2 things shock me a little:
- He talk to the camera with a t-shirt print with a plane, I don't know if he had it because he like it or because he's a plane enthusiast, but do he know how many fuel is spend to make a plane fly ? Especially big Airbus and Boeing plane. It's just a remark but talking about pollution with a plane on your shirt is a little contradictory for me.
- Ok, we all stop buying plastics in a short amount of time, but how many peoples are going to be jobless, and how many years for so many workers (truck drivers, operative, sellers, ...) to find a new job ? I know this argument cannot be take in consideration to save the planet but what we are going to do with them ?
It's easy to say save the planet, but thinking about the consequences of your actions and arguments are also an important matter.
To conclude, I can say he's right, there are to many plastics elements in our society, but the thing I use right now to write this message is a keyboard with a lot of plastics, the camera that they've used to make this video had a lot of plastic in it, and right know there are not really a realistic alternative for them.
But I'm going to try using less plastics bottles, it's a first step, but there are so many things who's polluting our planet, not just plastic, it feel a little to much overwhelming.
caldrissian The argument of all people in the world eliminating plastics is the same argument that people make to vegans about what would happen to all the cows if everyone went vegan overnight. It's an erroneous argument because it's simply not possible and can and won't happen. You can't get 7 billion people to change overnight or even just a relatively short time frame. The reality is, even with the information out there, it will be a gradual change and yes jobs will be lost but much like losing jobs by weaning off of fossil fuels where employees (and there are examples of this happening) are now working for solar and wind companies, the same goes for plastic. You eliminate the plastic and let it be something else (like glass), therefore creating more jobs in the glass department because the demand is higher. It's simple economics.
The shirt statement is reaching a bit much, since you or I don't know the context behind the shirt.
Lastly, I applaud you for taking the step to try and use less plastic bottles. I want to recommend the film 'Bag It' for more info on plastic, going beyond just bottles. And know that ya, lots of other things are polluting the world but that isn't a reason to not strive to reduce plastic. It's like the saying goes, 'don't do nothing because you can't do everything, do something, anything.' :) Cheers, Aubrey
+caldrissian Agree 100% the shirt was improper. It was just what I wore the day JK asked me to suddenly talk, etc. Planes SUCK, big-time! (Even Peter Gabriel refuses to fly anymore). Average commercial jet-liner spews carbon-equivalent of over 5000 cars in first mile of take-off flight. That's insane.
Wow he was so great - I am on board going to change my lifestyle as much as possible because the reality is that up until today I was a plastic junkie except for I was staunch against plastic bags thanks to what I learned from Surf Rider Foundation. Time to step it up and reduce the rest of plastic in my life.
BeachCityPrepper Wahoo!! Love to see stuff like this. If you need any tips, I've been living plastic free for a year and can give you so many tips and links if it would help. :)
I would LOVE some tips on how to REALLY get rid of plastic spring water in plastic bottles.
I have heard the advice to use filters (on the faucet, britta, etc), to use distillers and reverse osmosis.
The problem I have with tap water is the added CHEMICALS including chlorine, flouride, etc.
The problem I have with the solutions: distilled and RO are causing mineral leaching in the body of several friends who are now sick BECAUSE of their water "purification". And Britta and co., only remove the "taste" and "odor" of chlorine not the chlorine - according to their packaging. And note britta and faucet filters are usually PLASTIC.
How about a bubble stone like those used in hydroponics to make the water safe enough for plants to drink? (Why is the water NOT ok for them but ok for us? Why is the bubbled water ok for them but not for us?)
How about distilled water to which is added diatomaceous earth overnight and or DE with red clay (such as from tractor supply) - will that remineralize the water?
How about boiling the water? Does that remove chlorine and flouride and all the other chemicals? Boil then filter? ........?
HELP.
Any SERIOUS help would be appreciated.
As for going 100% plastic free, I don't see that as a realistic option except in daily choices like water bottles etc. My ref is plastic, car is plastics, thermostat, wiring, outlets, vinyl siding, carpets, flooring, cushions, computer, you know the list .....
But I can stop buying plastics on a regular basis.
Last time some environmentalist showed me a chart of population growth, with the "By 2050" BS, I asked him, "Don't we have too many people now?" He was saying how much energy we use, how we should freeze in our homes to save energy, how we should save the forests. I asked, "Look at the populous areas, assuming we all live off the grid, what if all those people had to use wood to boil their water?" What was his answer? We should all be drinking bacteria, etc.-infested water to build up our immune systems as children. I didn't want to start a big debate with him, but do you know what this means? Do you know how many children would have to die before we evolved our guts to tolerate that abuse? Would you be the first to put your kids through that experiment? BOTTOM LINE: Until there are bountiful trees for us all to boil water using wood, THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE ON EARTH. NOW. NOW. NOW. Not 2050. Bitching for a paycheck. That's all he was doing.
let's all have a round of applause for DuPont for 1. forcing marijuana to b illegal so they could steal the navy rope contract w a far inferior product IE nylon 2. creating all these lovely hormone ruining and estrogen mimicking plastic poisons

I don't believe it takes that much oil to make a plastic bottle. Companies make products for profits. That is not economically viable and therefore unprofitable. I'm going to go out on a limb and say "propaganda alert" be wary.
If it is true maybe it is because the economics of oil is rigged. And then it would be time to point the finger at the policy-makers in office, not the consumers who need to buy milk or water. I would be interested to learn more but not enough to look it up myself as I have enough facts of reality to depress me.
Hell YES! The first Josh rant I heard was the one from the cannabis and coconut smoothie where the drink caused an unexpected side effect. This one is BETTER! I love to hear this guy speak because he says what EVERY thinking person MUST BE THINKING and he doesn't beat around the bush.
John, you need to tag all of the Josh videos with his name in the keywords so we can search for them - or better yet, create a playlist of them for your channel.
I've been using my own extreme water filtration system for all drinking, cooking and ice-maker water for about a decade now, but before that I'm embarrassed to admit that before that I used gallon water jugs in the house and liter ones on the go. Then one day I had a WTF epiphany when I (finally) realized that wasting a valuable resource like oil to produce throwaway landfill was asinine in the extreme.
And the recycling is, as Josh says, a joke. We can't use the resulting product for any food, drink or medical purpose, so it's used to make plastic park benches, deck "lumber" and other items whose biodegradable half-life is probably something like 100,000 years... like plutonium - or something.

TELL U ABOUT WHY NOT TO USE LIQUID not your views on plastic
1) I loved this video, love to see the passion in fellow lovers of the environment! 2) It's not just plastic bottles but plastic altogether. About a year ago I finally connected the dots that if I don't support fossil fuels then I should stop allowing plastic in my home, plastic of every kind and there is plastic in and on darn near everything from the sticker on your apple, to the synthetic shirts people wear, the carpets they walk on, to the very bottles you are discussing. So I've made it a point to strive to eliminate ALL plastic. 3) Regarding those refillable water stations, they also sell stainless steel (on lifewithoutplastic.com) that you can use to fill up. Klean Kanteen is also a great stainless steel water bottle source that you can carry around and reuse.
And for a question I have, as I've been having trouble finding a dried plant food that doesn't come in a plastic bag. In fact, partially because I'm vegan, I have been using that exact Vegan fertilizer but have been disappointed that it's in a plastic bag within the box because, to me, plastic is plastic (be it a bottle or bag). So I'm interested in your Boogie Brew and want something truly plastic free, not just plastic bottle free. My question is, is your boogie brew sold in paper only? As in is the packaging only paper, so not lined inside with plastic (since many paper products are deceiving as they will be sold in a box but the fertilizer/food is in a plastic bag, like that Vegan fertilizer, within the box or are in a paper bag that is lined, on the inside, with plastic). Could you please clarify the type of packaging for the Boogie Brew?
Thanks so much for this video! Hope to hear from ya,
Aubrey
P.S. Other great resources for people who want to learn more about plastic and get themselves off are the Documentary 'Bag It' (which starts with a man eliminating plastic bags and then moving to eliminate plastic completely after he learns more about it), the book 'Plastic Free' by Beth Terry (an incredibly comprehensive book on plastic and how to live without it) as well as her blog myplasticfreelife.com

Organic Grow You know, it's really rude to flood people's inboxes by yelling comments and putting them on every single comment possible. Please don't do this. It makes people less likely to 'thumbs up' something. It's like the people on Instagram who go to every account possible asking for follows. It comes off as both inconsiderate and desperate. Seriously, when quality is good people will vote that way. Let people make their choice without interfering.
Sorry you are right I should have gone to this extreme but it was in the moment I was all hyped up wanting to tell the world I really loved the message.
I even went door knocking in my neighbour hood telling everyone this message & refering them to this video, I sent all my Viber & Whatsapp contacts the message, at work I sent an all staff email with the hyperlink.
Sorry I will try & control my self in future maybe not in upper case next time.
Have a lovely day, you are a beautiful person.
Organic Grow You know, it's a lesson I learned when I first went vegan back in 2007. My first year or two as a vegan I preached. I wanted the whole world to know all that I learned. And what I found was that it pushed people away. People don't like to be pushed around and I don't blame them even if, like with you, it's coming from a place of passion and a whole lot of heart for the topic. Now I say, teach don't preach. Do, like you are doing by sharing it, and offering the information to people so they can make their own decision instead of preaching which is telling them what to do.
Do know that I know you spoke from a place of heart. I just wanted to share a lesson I learned some time back. The point is not to lesson your passion but just alter how we share what we've learned, whatever the topic may be.
Cheers to you and a lovely day as well.

Times how many thousands of (or more) people eating the same thing? We are a plastic nation. I carry my Kleen Kanteen water bottle everyday and coworkers look at me like I'm really weird, while they guzzle from their plastic water and sports drink bottles. Then they comment about how they don't drink soda pop and they are much healthier then people who do. So I like to direct them to the ingredients listed in their sport drink and the fact they are drinking from a plastic bottle. You are not drinking a healthy drink! Thanks for the great information and inspiration.!! Thank You, I will make more changes in my life.
+Jan King I just love my klean kanteen insulated because it's stainless steel and keeps my hot tea blazingly hot. Nothing else will do. Plus it survives stupid abuse - I've dropped it too many times to count.
All the plastic thermos that I've bought are crappy...
astrangeone I totally agree. I have bought those plastic insulated cups at a convenience store and as always they would start to leak or I'd loose the cover. I have both insulated Klean Kanteen and two sizes of non insulated. They last and last! Hard to convince others to change their ways. So many people love their "stylish" plastic water bottle. And their "healthy" sports drinks. I have given the insulated Hydro Flask bottle as a gift and it is used all the time!
Hey, Josh You should take one of them plastic bottles and bust John upside the head with it. Thanks for the videos though John.
John and Josh make such a great team! I have been watching all of your videos and it's great to see people spreading this great message with such passion. Boogie Brewer for life!
Now that was a rant. I'm convinced however. Can't seem to completely get away from the stuff. I'm gonna use dry fert from now on.
I can hear your English accent coming through 😂 🇬🇧 how come we can’t get boogie brew in the UK!!
Using plastic water bottles is environmentally irresponsible.
I love how passionate Josh is about no plastic.
Damn them plastic bottles. Damn them to hell!
i agree with you 100% and dont lose this passion i know some take it as weird. Im the same and get negative comments all the time like im the crazy one Rant on mate
people may not realize how much plastic is used in a normal home daily, throw the used plastic in a corner some where and watch just how much plastic used, everything is plastic now it seems and it All can be recycled. it is sick, mostly when it ends in a land fill when it can be re recycled to plastic bags to toys to cars
How else do you propose transporting liquids in food grade, unbreakable containers? Single serve containers are wasteful and our culture does produce far too much trash but this rant is over-generalised.
I've been running a hydroponic/organic urban garden store for 7 years now and we don't only sell liquid fertilizers. Dry organic nutrients are considerably lower in nutrient value than the concentrated liquid products sold and many dry organics are just as heavy for the same volume.
Mineral based hydro nutes work better in a liquid state because of the ionic balance needed for plant uptake, and are far easier for inexperienced growers to measure and dissolve properly into their water, choosing a brand that is more concentrated than another is an easy way to be more 'green'.
Many highly specialized products, incorporating amino acids, humic and fulvic acids, organic extracts and bio fermented metabolism enhancers can only be produced and sold as liquids, and if you have experience and pay attention, you know which products are useful, redundant or inferior. We don't push products, we push knowledge and let you make up your own mind.
Also, I used to sell Boogie brew products, he brews his tea in PLASTIC buckets with water filtered through a plastic filter with nutrients that I sell in my Hydroponic store.
Hypocritical marketing...
You are making a mistake by thinking that the guy in this video uses logic and facts in his reasoning.
I mean, we're talking about a guy that claimed it takes 100 ml of oil to make 17 ml of plastic, which is only 5% oil.
@@theskeletonboi I thought the implication that Josh was pointing out was that the 100 ml of oil was due to the fuel required to move the weight of the liquid fertilizer that is mostly water to begin with. So the plastic bottle is unnecessary pollution and the form factor of liquid fertilizer is also a waste, and a marketing scam.
that man is a lunatic.
HAHAHAHA this guy filling a bottle 20% full of "oil" and saying that's how much oil is used to make that bottle! its 20% of the plastics weight! not the volume it can hold you nutter! an empty bottle weights what? 10g? that's 2g of oil, barely enough to coat the bottom of the bottle! After that I cant take this guy seriously!
+calum B I found that quite ridiculous as well. It's a shame that he diluted his credibility with such an obvious mistake because I do feel that our continued reliance on plastic is harmful to our bodies and the planet in many ways.
its made to look like oil he didnt put oil in it, What he is saying is true, it made from oil then to the size of a pea then ran through a process to blow into a bottle
I have been using the same nalgene water bottle for years,it's all I drink water from. I hate plastic too.
Bro I'm just trying to grow my medicine bro chill out
What about the pros and cons of liquid versus solid nutrients? To say that liquid nutrients have absolutely no pros, is a little overboard if you ask me.
That is my though on gardening as well, I never truly understand the concept behind artificially synthesized nutrients. Being a science student I know how energy consuming to extract/recycle nutrients from waste like kitchen scrap when the power of nature can totally do it more effectively, worm compost bin could produce more nutrients effectively than any nitrogen fixing factory in the whole world! People need to know what is the cost behind these kinda stuff
Mendol12 EVERYONE PRESS THE THUMBS UP ON THE VIDEO FOR JOSH! PLEASEEE DON'T FORGET THUMBS UP FOR BEING AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE A BIG THUMBS UP!
Jesus fucking Christ! How does this video have so many up votes?
I love your channel, but this really was kinda pointless if you recycle.
I am so glad I was really high when I found this fn crazy video.
true that
Great video, I learned a good amount, fuck your haters man this video was not useless.
"Oh no plastic!"
Glad I use lead pipes and solder for my hydroponics, no plastic for me, thanks.
Lol
@Kev lol no doubt
Hey guys please help and be so kind as to send me a link of what to use with that vegan mix.
Even though he goes a bit off topic , he makes multiple very good points through out.. It's because he is a free thinking person in a world full of sleep walkers.. People some often refer to it as awake.. The difference between thinking humanity is doing good and in a state of progress, with nothing wrong, and those with brains that havn't been taken over by mind control that know otherwise
Some guy once said .. ''there are those who see, those who see when they are shown, and those that don't see''
And the topic this guy covers here doesn't even scratch the surface of what is really going on in the world, which most people are completely and utterly oblivious to and purposefully dumbed down to
Im glad he said what he said. Im just genuenly honestly shocked at the negative feedback from people here in the comments. I find people seem to have this instant reaction of not wanting to really know the truth or change, even when if u properly think about it the solutions end up being easier in the end anyway. Like he made some very good well thought out points but everyone just straight away dismisses everything he says as a "radical rant". Even the guy beside him undermining what he says all the time.
It's not necessarily what you say, it's how you say it.
+ItsFrenzy26
Hmm I would have to partially disagree. A lot of people that claim to be "woke" actually just get there information from anti establishment based people and sites. They are not actually looking for real proof of what they get told. Their confirmation bias will make them believe anything that someone who seems to have similar beliefs as them says.
To be truly awake you need to listen to what all sources have to say. Hear both sides arguments. Then look for real science that has been proven again and again. If this science does not exist then do the experiments yourself. If you cannot then you have no sure way of confirming or debunking the information.
Just because someone grows organically or talks about how the "Man" is ripping us off and controlling us does not mean they are more intelligent or wiser. Most of it is paranoia.
Love how there's a video with the same guys are showing you how to make a DIY compost tea brewer with a 25 gallon plastic garbage can and pvc.
THankyou for making this. feels like im the only preaching this kinda shit sometimes within the circle of people i know lol
Fucking Glass Supremacist. :P
Bravo! Awesome rant, Josh! Mother Earth is thankful.
yes, awesome comment good on you
Didn't expect this video to have a lecture on corporatism or the word sheeple to be used. Right on haha
Some things need to be said. I appreciate the lesson on plastic waste. I admire him for being so passionate. I wish more people could care this much. Thumbs up!
Ive already left hydroponics and have moved to fabric pots that do not use plastic to be made.
I LOVE Josh! I'm not plastic free, but I'm using less. My kitchen is full of Mason Jars now. You guys have great chemistry.
The reason is what? Im tired of listening about the story of the guy on the right. Tell me when they answer the question on the title please!
Nam Nguyen The reason is because you are getting ripped off when you buy any liquids, period. And the true cost is also that of environmental catastrophe with all the world's plastic. It's sickening. Time to end the madness, period.
Stop with the all the plastic guys,recycle what we got,and stop making it
i just paid for a bottle WATER, go cry about it
I do use the water machine I love it think it best thing ever and people ask me I didn't no that did water I love it
Anti-plastic is good. But the title is misleading.
Most plastics are a Parafin byproduct of oil. I am not the biggest supporter but there is a time and place for everything. Bottles are not made from oil they are made from a waste product that would just be thrown out anyway. You need to stop driving, using electricity and fossil fuels. It's not the people that are the problem. Do you understand what it costs in resources to run industry and or military complex? I'm tired of fear mongering against people. It is what it is really do what you need for your garden and budget.
Judah Seeds Plastic bottles are made from hydrocarbon gas liquids (HGL) and natural gas (www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.cfm?id=34&t=6). Therefore, be it a byproduct or not it's still fossil fuels being needed to make plastic bottles, bottles that take 500 years to decompose (among their other issues).
Do I think we should stop driving cars using fossil fuels and electricity using fossil fuels? Yes. Five months ago I sold my car and use electricity powered by solar and wind. And is using fear a tactic I support? No. Nevertheless, plastic is a wasteful product that should be eliminated wherever possible and does absolutely contribute to the use of fossil fuels.
Maybe the guy on the right should go the church,WTF he seemed so transfixed on himself at the start of the vid it freaked me out. Somebody need to tell him You get one chance to get your point across, If you come across as a rambling nut bag nobody's gonna listen weather the message be true or not. He needs to sit down and revisit this if he wants to get through. Me im out of here this is driving me out of my mind It nothing more than a rant.......
he said it himself @ 7:07 save it for another rant.
It doesn't always pay to be the only smart guy in the room.
Use Plastic, your growing hydro?
Ohhhh nnooooo it's made out of sheople lolololololololololololololololol
I think these two have touched tips. Just sayin...
Sooooo no reason not to use liquid fertilizer other than it comes in a plastic bottle?? Piss off lol.
Not using plastic is the sign of an advanced grower for sure.
