Respect to these AMAZING people who deserve the best that life has to offer. They are making a real difference, contributing to the wellness of all instead of wasting resources manufacturing $400+ sneakers or $1000+ vinyl handbags that benefit a few.
The real solution is to make fewer products and products that last longer. Currently, we are making products with built-in obsolescence of just a few years. For example, cars were built to last 40-50 years. Now, it's more like 10 years. We are also forced to junk our computers and phones in about 3-4 years or even less. We are increasingly moving away from a mindset of "Less is More" to one that promotes irresponsible consumerism. I am wearing a cotton shirt right now at home that is over 22 years old. It's faded and all but it's clean, it is serving the purpose and it's cotton. Ten thousand people flying in from all over the world to a city to attend a climate conference and adding to the emissions is the kind of intelligence we are using presently and is similar to the recycling efforts we are making. This has to change, and we need to take less of everything out of the ground, be it trees, fossil fuels, or metals and teach people to adopt a simpler and a more sustainable lifestyle. Policies should focus on reducing the use of hazardous materials and spreading them all over our air ,water, and soil (e.g., chemicals, fertilizers, microplastics, etc.). I guess what I am saying is that prevention is way better than cure.
The booms of hair with oil sank to the bottom and made recovery difficult so they added a chemical to make the oil sink to the bottom that they didnt recover. Makes perfect sense.
They just wanted to make it so no one could see the environmental impact...problem solved, I guess. They don't care as long as it keeps legislatures and public opinion from harming their business.
I was just thinking the same thing! There's a lot of bus stops without a cover here where I am located, which means people will get wet from the rain during winter and no protection from the sun during hot summer. It would be awesome to see painted turbine pieces being used here.

@@talesbyciel Money is the key to everything. The people that own and run these industries immediately incorporate and jump on any idea and technological advancement that will work better and make more money.

In Germany we have collecting points for glass. There are different containers for each color. The collected glass is cleaned and sorted. After that new bottles or jars are made out of it.
the nice thing with glass is that it's infinetly 100% recyclable, compared to metals such as iron, steel, copper, etc. which has a net loss when recycled due to slag.
That's because Germans were a civilized people (until invaded with third-worlders). The third-worlders where I live (in the U.S.) will not comply and obey even the simplest sorting rules. They will throw food in the glass recycling bin. They won't pay any attention to colors. That is why they are the third world. No discipline and no consciousness, nor any responsibility. A German system won't work in most of the world.
Thank you for warming my heart and making me see the light even more, inspiration is a key thing in life, and living in Iowa all these ideas will save soooooo much pollution and energy issues
Watching from Australia, Melbourne. Re: Roofing tiles/shingles. My simple 3 bedroom house built in late 80’s, so nearly 40 years old NEVER had to have the tiles replaced. Cement/Concrete! The tiles are cement and look like clay. I had them pressure washed and professionally re-spray painted and they are as good as new!
This. This is why I don't worry about "climate change" or "earth's destruction." The larger the population grows, the more hyper-smart and creative people we're left with. Innovation is the future, not crazy people who want to destroy humanity to "save" the earth.
01:04:44 The sheer size of that garbage pile is unbelievable. It's incredible how waste can be turned into a profitable business while helping the environment. Turning trash into treasure is a brilliant way to address the global waste crisis.
GLASS RECYCLINIG: Excellent idea. You probably have come up with all my sugestions, but here they are anyway. Subdivide the colour glasses even further, It appears that brown and green and white (transparent no colour) are all being mix together, seperate them, have large pools of water where the bottles can soak in for a day or so, hence the labels will unstick almost alone. For extra pieces such as metal, have them go past strong magnets, and plastic I dont know, but I am sure the plastic recycling industry will come up with some options. All this equipment will cost money, so stop giving away your products. Use that money to pay for the necessary equipment. Last but not least employ someone with business expertize to maximize the output and minimize the imput. I am sure you all need money to survive, and if making money doesnt sit well with you, then find worthy parties: hospitals, schools, etc and donate to them. Best of luck, I think you are great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The recycled glass business doesn't look like a business at all. It looks like they are surviving primarily on grants, crowd funding, and volunteer labor.
It’s a business, yes they are small but 4,000,000,000 metric tons of glass being in construction projects because of them is definitely not a small business in my account
@@JohnthemapguyADHDMe 4 billion metric tons? This "business" is miniscule and makes almost no money other than through charity and government hand outs.
They must produse boxes with materiels that can be used again and can be sent her and back from country to country and can be washed, so ther us no waste!
They really need to tighten up their production technique. It's F'n ridiculous the manpower required to clean, sort and layout the hair. This is not sustainable.
@@marcuslinton310 So instead we will add a chemical to the oil and send it to the bottom anyway! Just after we got done trying to burn the oil off that would have made the Iraq oil field burns look like child's play. We love the environment!! It's better we swear!
If companies standardise the size and shapes of glass containers, it would make it A LOT easier to reuse them (clean and slap a new label on them). I wonder what the cost marketing has been on the environment.

@@evil_radfem9162 Actually they dump it into the ocean (or rivers that feed into the ocean) which the whole world gets to enjoy 🤗 They also pollute the air more than anywhere else, which we all breathe.
CCP China pollutes the ocean with more plastic than any other country. China builds one COAL-fired power plant EVERY WEEK. You just don't hear about China from the environmentalists.
When you come up with a idea and you struggle to make your point, you know your onto a winner. Plastic can be used as a fuel and cleaned in the exhaust through Air release. This is what maybe term creating more of a problem with cost but we need to act against the money makers who strive to stick to their way of making money. Your doing a lot of good work, I do litter picking and its a growing action to try and make our Streets and paths look better for ALL, Animals to Humans. Vapes are the latest waste being littered, its all reusable material. People are now showing their appreciation for what the few do. Great post though
I would be so neat for the wind turbines to be funded federally for the education system. High school engineering and art programs could benefit immensely!
those blade sections could very well be turned into beautiful architecture, if they could be kept whole the would make amazing structures! and even cut into sections those could make many other structures like homes, schools, museums.
When we drove semi we saw many roads especially interstates the mid summer in South Dakota and Texas and other states that had ruts so deep that you couldn't drive in those lanes. We were told the ruts were due to using recycled asphalt.
The funny thing is that I came up with the same idea without even knowing someone already invented it. I noticed that after I had shaved my hair and I swept it from the sink, it cleaned it very well from oils.
I don't care if they make a buck off of my recycled stuff. In fact, I hope they find a way to make even more bucks! And make it easier and less of a hassle for people to recycle. Our landfills are overloaded as it is.
Something else that the pieces of the wind turbines could be used for small houses. Believe it or not, even the way the dimensions are people will buy Em. Because not only are they a piece of art? They are home just my thoughts
The video "How People Profit Off America's Garbage | World Wide Waste | Business Insider" is truly impressive! It reveals how people turn waste into a source of profit, contributing to reducing pollution and recycling effectively. It's worth pondering the potential of "garbage" in the future!
There are very VERY few things in the waste stream that are "garbage" or un-reusable. Almost everything can be recycled or reclaimed, the only factor that dissuades industry from doing it is the extra labor and time it costs.
Do they not clean those bottle? Also, China’s tofu dredge construction is what is using up the sand. Along with using sand to expand their coastlines closer to nearby islands.

They didn't add the hair lady complaining, but it still makes no sense whatsoever.
They put it in drag nets when used for spills.

i suggest you learna bout the topic a little more, this is not solely a USA thing is all countries that do it
Most major corporations in the U.S. are not American-owned or American-run anymore. Look at who the CEO's are. These are multi-nationals.
Wow there are way more wasters country's than the US try china India Russia..you find they treble the waste the us does .
I love the hair idea.
My question is... What is to be done to then clean or responsibly dispose off these hair mats? Is there a solution in place?
if they end up in landfills its the same place theyd end up in if they werent recycled so 🤷
Patio furniture looks like a good idea for renew
Nice
Very interesting. Thanks.
we need to recycle asphault shingles, too. 11-13 million tons in the US alone. Could extract the tar, use it for tar-paper, chip-seal etc.
Great job
The turbine blade filets make me think of a piano. I wonder if that’d work. Or if the fiberglass can be reverted back to sand.
How about making a cell phone booth for public street and public places out of the wind turbine blades!
When we drove semi we saw many roads especially interstates the mid summer in South Dakota and Texas and other states that had ruts so deep that you couldn't drive in those lanes. We were told the ruts were due to using recycled asphalt.
I don't know whether to feel hopeful after watching this, or depressed that we got ourselves into this mess in the first place...
the wind turbines sections may make fantastic slim line rain water tanks. you just need to cap the bottom PERFECTLY, that may be a deal breaker.
Are there fines for these spills?
Make the companies pay for ALL of the cost of the clean-up.
The funny thing is that I came up with the same idea without even knowing someone already invented it. I noticed that after I had shaved my hair and I swept it from the sink, it cleaned it very well from oils.
