10 Ways To Fight 2 Billion Tons Of Trash | Business Insider Marathon | Business Insider
Ban all single use plastic around the world.
Doesn't work how you think it will. The plastic will be there in copies amounts whether you like it, want it or not
i was curious about the process for turning bottles into fabric, my friend has a plush from the monterey bay aquarium gift shop and its so soft and is 100% recycled as it says on the tag
I love how resiliant people can be when they want to ❤
I havent met anyone that would willingly wear polyester over cotton
You don't know any marathon runners then
H&M throws away their clothing instead of donating them. They are the ones that waste the most.
Capitalism at it's finest - fast fashion is disgusting. I still have clothes from 20 years agp, and can count on my hands and feet all the clothes I've purchased over that entire time.
One of the worst things in the US is they throw away A LOT of good food and soak it in bleach so people can't eat it...
Something like 95% of everything one sees in a department store will be in a landfill within 5 years...
I foresee the future mining our landfills as goldmines of resources.
How long before plastic fills these workers lungs
Hemp is highly likely better than recycled paper... not sure why it isn't used even more than it is.
I just bought new carpet composed of recycled plastic bottles. It is supposedly fairly pet and stain resistant. Yay!
It just adds more microplastics into your body you're body takes in 1 credit card of microplastics a week
that's what i thought
I wish everything was made with paper, glass, ceramic, metal, wood, an other organic materials. I strive to only buy those materials. Plastic has a ton of health problems and its in everything. It also makes everything feel cheaply made.
I try as well, but I have babies and everything baby related is plastic
@@motiemo You can buy containers in metal or glass (silicon protectors), nonsolid food and drink can be made through a blender/juicer, maybe there is a diy natural breastmilk, the clothes can be cotton, the diapers can be cloth, the toothpaste can be floride free (Toms), the water can be 99% purified (Alexapure). We do all of this with very little sacrifice to modern conveniences.
30:00 - I do that work, the plastic is garbage, along with glass and ceramic, and it costs money to get rid of. Id love a better way for those, but all I can do now is dump it. The rest has value and I get paid a little to recycle them.
Wow it's good to see other countries around the world are finally cleaning up mother Earth I'm making out on five minute much better and what are already IS . 🌍✅♻️. From Perth Australia 🐨🇭🇲.
🤯👍🏾 this is phenomenal!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
If they stopped mixing fibers so much we could recycle much more...
Polyester clothing is good until you catch fire 🔥
Do a super cut for electric cars. Please.
Fortuna perhaps Jute material will work in place of plastic. Just a thought.
Awe 1:10:16 that's sad
0:50 wow 😮
So where do they put there chemicals
So many of these businesses need to contact other ones on this video; could that jute 'plastic' work to replace the liner in the Fortuna Cool 'Nutshell' cooler-bags? Those wind-turbine fillets look like they could be pianos or raised garden-beds.
Your videos are a shining example of how to make quality and interesting content. Thank you for your talent and effort!🐛🗻🚘
Why use toilet paper when you can use water jet.
You still have to wipe after using a bidet
This video is misguiding, plastics are good for environment . Bio products generate gases ...
And asbestos helps fight against lung cancer
too bad the recycled clothes tend to be hideous
or feel terrible, dont stretch, and shrink in the wash
Polyester and the garment to garment machine were my inventions.
No time stamps no watchy
What on earth is this narration??? AI content!!! Unsubbed
I hate to state the obvious but seems like a lot of man hours and energy to recycle. I bet it would be cheaper and better for the environment just to throw it all away
It all depends on what materials were talking about here. It also depends on how you calculate the impact and costs. Are we talking about the lifespan of the materials, and the extended impacts on the environment, or just your lifespan?
Ultimately, it would be cheapest and best for the environment if we just minimize the usage of these materials as much as humanly possible.
Then there is an approach called "Cradle to Cradle" go look it up.
It will all come down to economics: Today's rubbish tips will be tomorrows mines.
@@soundsoflife9549 that is hopeful imagery. But it is also a logic trap in the sense that it enables people to continue mindlessly producing and consuming. Reducing overall waste generation is the key, not recycling.
And, currently in the world there is so much garbage that never even makes it to a proper landfill and is accumulating in the land, rivers and oceans, causing much damage. And it is extremely hard to retrieve. So even if we ever do actually begin reusing/recycling waste in earnest, this is still going to be a major issue as the economics of it are unlikely to change. And, the way things are going, it will likely take many generations until the economics of pulling waste out of proper landfills to recycle it will make sense as well. And the amount of materials that will be viable to recycle is an unknown.
So overall it's a pretty bad bet at this point tbh. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Okay, so now you have millions of people unemployed because you took away recycling, what next?
You don't even understand the words that you are saying.
Hello I have a dream to build a company like this but now I'm still underage but can I have some financial support from u guys to really start up? (I have plans and things already)
I've been watching videos about this topic especially from this channel, I want to dedicate my life to creating solutions for big problems like climate change and pollution
no
I just switched up my Roth IRA to 50% SCHD, 25% SCHX, 25% SCHG, and my Roth 401k is 70% vanguard S&P 500 index, 20% vanguard growth index, and 10% vanguard international index. Seeking best possible ways to grow $350k into $2m+ before retirement
As a beginner investor, it’s essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable.
Ruth Ann Tsakonas is my trade analyst, she has guided me to identify key market trends, pinpointed strategic entry points, and provided risk assessments, ensuring my trades decisions align with market dynamics for optimal returns.
I managed to grow a nest egg of around 120k to over a Million. I'm especially grateful to Adviser Ruth Ann Tsakonas, for her expertise and exposure to different areas of the market..
I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of
information can be a big hurdle. I've been
making more than $100k passively by just
investing through an advisor, and I don't have
to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my
finances remain secure. So I really don't blame
people who panic.
Without a doubt! Ruth Ann Tsakonas is a trader who goes above and beyond. she has an exceptional skill for analyzing market movements and spotting profitable opportunities. Her strategies are meticulously crafted based on thorough research and years of practical experience..
nice!! once you hit a big milestone, the next comes easier. How can i reach her, if you don't mind me asking?
