Husband and I have been composting for years , we use our compost for our veggies gardens and neighbors are amazed of our produce,that we share with them.
+nepali hercules agreed. What's up with these big city changes only affecting certain communities?! And some would argue these changes can even hurt communities who are less economically advantaged.
Cassie you are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen hands down from the bottom to the top of my healthy love pumping heart what I say to you is true and God guide this woman into my arms she is one fine Cassie!!! Mmm mmmm mmmmm!!! I could only be so lucky ! Have a wonderful day beautiful stranger if our paths ever crossed then I would defenitly be heading in the right direction!!! Good luck with your passion for economically better solutions to an inevidible, don't stop for no breaks subject manner ! Fighting for good is the only way to use what's in our hearts !!! LIFE'S GREAT WHEN WE USE WHAT GOD GAVE US AND WE KEEP HIM IN !!!
This is lovely...my mom also trying it at home...but wen it overloaded. We have to throw it till the drum turns into decompost. She literally feeling sad to throw waste to municipalities now...
That's what happens when you have a bunch of drug addicts and homeless people who can't do anything but pick up trash for a living in a city of hypocritically selfish hipsters. San-Fran is a goddamn slum. And that's how the Chinese and their proxies want it. What? Don't act like foreign governments can't buy our officials. It's as simple as a pre-arranged "donation" from an "American" shell company staffed by turncoat Chinese-Americans, or even a Dead Drop loaded with illicit money. Sometimes they use couriers from Latin gangs. Traitors. Globalist traitors. All of them.
FrozenEternity And that's the way it should be. I'm glad Seeker's not censoring me. A little Civil Dissent is good for the soul, if there is such a thing...
Scowler I did not say they should censor you. Just that I seem to largely disagree with most of what you have said here. As I am sure you will not agree with that I say.
we need this in Texas!! our high ways from Austin (the capital) to El Paso are disturbingly covered in plastic bags and bottles. This is so amazing to see!!! especially in the USA
It's more about money than helping. The plastic gets sold to china and guess what, by 2020 china ain't buying it no more. So it's going to end up in landfills
my village is recycling in :compost, aluminium, scrap metal, glass, pet, aches, oil, clothes, electronics, batteries, light bulbs, and you pay for the plastic stuff per kg negative points: you have to keep it for a week sort it out and drive it up this huge hill....
you dont go to a person who is cleaning your shit just so that you can have a fresher future and say "it smells like hell". he didnt like it at all. 2:59
When I worked in the East Bay area, we were doing similar sorting.. But one of the problems with receiving waste plant, and especially wood waste, is presence of residual toxins from preservative "protective" treatments, paints, etc.. Some woods can still have old layers of lead from paint, or from applications of copper-arsenic, sometimes present in pressure treated lumber. I recall when my city had to cease taking wood waste due to that problem. Wood without those toxins grinds-up for use in all kinds of good recycling processes and projects!.
Love this! It's really intriguing to see how people are adapting to deal with this pressing issue. I for one am on my own (slow but steady!) journey to becoming zero waste. :)
My city Nanaimo on Vancouver Island Canada has curbside composting and it has helped to cut waste generation by 30%. Our city is at near 70% waste diversion from our landfill. Incineration is a looming concern though, since our landfill is reaching capacity. We need to increase diversion even more. Next step for me is to help push to make a local recycling center that recycles styrofoam and other hard to recycle items a formal city institution and broaden its mandate. People will care for the environment, if it's easy. Life is just too busy and often draining to dedicate much to efforts outside the necessary. Why very efficient curbside collection is a must for busy cities.
The other key component Reuse needs to be considered as well as recycling. Here in MN, Goodwill is opening new stores regularly, I can count 5 within 5 miles of my place all opened within past 4 years, gearing up for babyboomers downsizing/dying off...Keeping things circulating also keeps them out of waste stream, or at least delays entry, leading towards zero waste. Online we advertise things for free pick up via trash nothing/free cycle. Great way to get rid of useable/rehabilitable things that would go to dump since Goodwill doesn't take everything.
I got here by wanting to know more about rural waste management and voila I have seen a lot that I am willing to begin to practice starting from my home. Thank You
in austria nearly everybody seperates their waste into plastic, paper, residual waste and organic waste!! that makes the process of recycling and reuse the waste so much easier!! of course plastic is also a problem here - we should concentrate more on reducing our plastic waste!!
Im very proud of prodjects like this I think this is what all countries should do this way and try to throw away the least possible I hope that projects like this or other green offensivs dont come too late to save our planet
Hey i am abhimanyu from INDIA, can you please share some name of good book or some other related stuff related to this project , so that i can contribute something for my country
Look at the other side of the argument like I did and found out that the poorest countries are guilty of way more pollution 90% in plastic... Not us. You're barking up the wrong tree
The thing is, we say cities should do this. But we shouldn't wait for the government to wake up, we need to wake up and take things in our hands. We, ordinary people, from all around the world, need to become a change and not just sit around and wait for others.

Ginny Sinclair I don't know how present and strong the government is over there, but you should probably contact the local authorities and directly talk to them about your possible solutions rrgarding the issue
wow that's terrible! I don't know much about your government, but you can contact them to complain about the problem and demand better waste policies, and/or organize a movement/facebook page/petition and get the support of others affected by this. What I do know is that you can always change your own contribution. Watch zero waste videos on youtube to get inspired to stop contributing waste to the landfill. Bring your own cotton bags to the market to get veggies and fruits without packaging, try to drink tap water instead of bottled if it's safe, replace all your disposables with resusables. Encourage your community to do the same. Sending love and good luck
Just wanna say wow...I will do my best...will do every possible things to start work on waste management in my country ...this video has provided this strength of possibilities for waste management ....
The point is everything that can gets recycled or composted. It's still a big deal. Coupled with increased government regulation of fossil fuels and waste such as plastic, it's possible to be "zero waste" in the future.
I think they define waste as the end product that goes to landfills or incinerators. If you're able to recycle that plastic and turn it into more plastic then you haven't created waste, you've created more product. Creating compost is also a great use of food waste, rather than placing it in a landfill where the food is never allowed to fully decompose the food is made into compost and sold. Of course there will always be a small percentage of waste because everything can't be recycled but that's where the first R (reduce) comes into play. Props to SF for taking steps to lower waste.
San Francisco has become a disgrace with doing nothing for the homeless, people using the streets as the bathroom, junkie leaving everywhere, etc. Too bad, it used to be a great city. Now, I won't go there. But, they don't allow plastic staws.....
San Fran is not a successful city. It's a slum controlled by the Chinese. They're keeping the city in disarray, ripe for espionage or even a land invasion...
It's people like you posting hate comments and polluting RUclips. Dunno what the Chinese did but people like you are keeping RUclips comment section negative and disgusting. Every time I intend to see some thoughtful feedback and conversation, I end up disgusted by hate words.
Zhou Johnson I would take you seriously, but you're probably just a paid troll, somewhere in Beijing, using a VPN to get around your own governments censorship of the internet.
Well I know there was a Dane talking about composting, but here in our town in Denmark we do compost at the recycling center, and if you need some for your garden it is free to pick up too :)
This is a great start! Good job! Now, follow Terracycle's "Loop" initiative to see what the future holds for preventing disposables from even entering the waste stream. As for compostables that should always be and hopefully no more shoes.
they just send it to Malaysia, where it gets dumped into landfill. Narrow minded people call it recycling, but others think that trowing rubbish over your fence doesn't make the planet cleaner.

And how happy are you now that San Francisco has turned into s shyte hole? Did you really belief this hype? Really? You did not realise it is just another way for rich people to grab subsidies and let the poor people pay for it? Can I sell you Table Mountain for a bargain?
I was just reading about a man who organized a clean up crew and they threw out about 50 TONS of trash from the streets and the homeless communities. That is an INSANE amount of garbage!!
I see in other states a real lack of recycling , where they feel it's just easier to discard it. Nearly all apartment complexes don't recycle it's all discarded. And there's a serious slide scale on the repayment of items recycled aluminum $0.30 lbs., stamped isn't correctly , glass $ 0.00 , type 1 plastic $0.00 . There simply diverting it to land fills. Yes Texas , and Colorado I'm talking about you. Californians recycle it's good for the planet and the economy. ♻️
I live in the UK and the only things our household sends to landfill are non-recyclable plastic films and crisp/chip packets, I even make sure our lollie/popsicle sticks are composted.
If they’re able to eliminate the human waste on the sidewalks as effectively as this waste, there’s no telling what they can accomplish. Keep it up San Fran!!!
living in a small rural community, composting is a way of life, everyone has their own compost pile in the woods and frequent use their own compost. when you have to haul your own trash composting saves time, money, and effort
in Brussels (at least in my district) since we need to prepare our garbage in bags divided by plastic&metals, paper, organic, bio (green stuff like grass or branches) outside, when garbage collectors come and they see ( yes they are transparent ) or feel that some bags contain something they shouldn't contain they just leave it in front of your house and it's a neighborhood shame if you have multiple bags in front of you house .
So someone from Denmark goes to the US to learn how to recycle when Sweeden which needs to import trash from Norway because it's too efficient at recycling is the neighbour of Denmark. As usual the US and Apple are the best and only ones in the world.
Actually Sweden gets trash from denmark aswell and england, italy and a bunch of other countries and less than 1% of our garbage goes into landfills so thay Mayor from denmark probably just wanted to travel a little and made an excuse for why he was going to San Fransisco who recycles about 80%...maybe the mayor of San Fransisco should go to Sweden to learn how its done.
I am too concerned about poor solid waste management system here in Nepal. Always think about how we can reduce waste or if generated then how we can manage them. It seems difficult but not impossible.. If anyday I need a help then hope you will help me. At last want to say that its a wonderful video to inspire. Big thanks..
Great job! Every State in U.S must do this! And where in the world should do this...unfortunately some countries may not be able afford this process. Do not ship your garbage to underdeveloped countries. We all live in one world 🌎!
Yes we have composting here in Thrissur shakthan vegetable market, kerala 👍 but it's very small scale, only wast from the market is used there. I hope every markets in kerala have it's on recycling /composting units one day🙏
Im from Qatar in the Middle East. We are slowly starting to care about the environment now. Slowly there are programs of recycling showing up, but people here don't care about the environment. I am trying to change that. I hope people will become more ecofriendly and take care of the environment.
Recently catered for the Security team at the Outside Lands event in Frisco. And let me tell you, that they have a huge groups of teams who separates piles of trash into different bags. So I see how it's easily assembled back at their landfill...
My brother and his family tried to get a company called "Geo-Compost" off the ground that would not only REUSE most solid waists but actually go back into the land fills and Glean the already buried Waist. The city was obviously paid MORE by the Disposal companies as reps from those companies were at the demonstration and told the mayor and council members "This won't work". That was 25 yrs ago and we are STILL burying solid Waist So I guess it all depends on WHO owns the "Green Companies",,,huh. Same with Solar and wind turban energy too.
+Daniel Nyboe Andersen Well good. I'm glad. I *love* your accent. It bothered me to see the subtitles when I could understand you easily, although I do get it that others may not. I still didn't like the subtitles even with that in mind lol. Don't ever change just because a few may have difficulty with it. 💁
In Jakarta I can see small burnings from the aerial view of my apartment. I asked my father what it was and why I always see smoke day and night, blocking the su and masking the moon. He told me they only burn plastics in Jakarta because they are lazy to make a change. I want change.
NG Dennis where abouts in Canada? Im from interior BC and people really only care about recycling can and bottles bc they get some money back. Although I believe recently more people have started sorting more recycling and compost. Compost seems to be the one most people don't really understand since we have very few farms around here.
Actually in India most houses make compost out of their food waste and we reuse our items and I'm the end everything is given up for recycling it's not a new idea but it's how they promote it and we don't
In my city we installed an incinerator. It burns 690,000 tons of rubbish per year. The end result is power sold to the grid and ash waste that is almost all exported for use as an additional material in roads and other permanent public works construction materials. Ireland exports 320,000 tons of materials for "recycling" as we do not invest in home materials resuse here. Unlike most European incinerators, the waste heat is not used again and just vented. This was supposed to be done 10 + years ago. The post incinerated waste has little value and it generated a vast amount of C02 (as burning any waste would do). All domestic waste here is split by households into Green (recyclable in theory) and black waste (incinerated) with many also having a brown bin (food waste for composing). Waste glass is deposited into industry subsidised glass bottle banks where the glass is crushed and sent for recycling. Without the reuse of waste heat, the incinerator is only 33% "fuel" efficient ie 77% of the wastes energy is either lost as vented heat or is lost in the productions own power needs. Ireland produces some of the highest rates of domestic waste and plastic packaging waste in Europe for a population thats just over 5M people.
not all of us just some. depends who you're talking to and where. some people might just be unaware due to the families they have/places they grew up. I didn't learn about climate change until highschool and my mother, older brother, and his wife deny that climate change is an actual thing. I had to research it and everything since It wasn't really something they talked about except in a bad light. Some people are purposely ignorant while others, such as myself, aren't ignorant by choice but just uninformed.
The people who were denying the reality have moved the goalposts to "climate change is happening but it's not our fault", most of them seem to say it's the sun. Zalx please don't conflate the volume of the political right to all of us.
Recycle people... if we all work together we can help our planet to become a better place for our kids and our kids children. It does take a little more work but our planet need it and we need our planet. God bless everyone...

Wow so grateful for this! Consumers have a ton of power and impact, but governments definitely need to do their part too. So happy to see the composting being accommodated. Please remember though that recycling is not the goal; reducing waste as much as possible is. Bringing your own bags/containers and buying in glass jars or bottles with a packaging deposit, only this is truly zero waste and the best thing to do! Do your part, as much as you can (: Also remember that the nr 1 most impactful thing you can do for the climate is to stop buying animal products!
Riiiigggghhhhtttt !!!! If you believe any of of this I've got some nice oceanfront property I'd like to sell you. Oh, by the way, the property is in Nebraska!
then why does Sweden incinerate so much of its waste rather than recycling/reusing/repurposing? in fact, it incinerates so much waste that it imports it from other countries leaving a sizeable carbon footprint in the process. that doesn't sound anything near "10 times better."
thuzan117 What a joke!! SF streets are covered with shit, literally feces, and heroine needles. Don't lecture us red states on how to operate our cities. No, we don't have shit and needles littering our streets and don't want them. I got the hell out of SF because people have lost their minds. I had to explain to my neighbors kid not to pick up a friggin' heroine needle because it's DANGEROUS. People like you make me sick! You walk around sipping your cup of joe wearing yoga pants ignoring what's wrong in front of you. BTW, shit for brains, I live in GA and yes we know about composting. We were doing it well before you yuppies called it "cool" and "rad." Please, grow a brain!!!!
The Lakeview landfill here is the highest point on the southern horizon and is getting higher every day...now in Erie County, PA, it is illegal to recycle glass bottles....so they are going to the landfill! They say it costs too much to haul the glass to the glass bottle plant...Go figure?
It doesn't matter who cares or not, but if you care then do the right thing. Personally I litter a lot as compared to an average San Francisco citizen but as compared to an average Indian I avoid as much littering as I can.
I live in Las Vegas and there’s almost no options for composting, probably because in a desert there’s not a whole lot of farmland. I really wish this was an option in my city.
Thats cool, living in SF and this video being release 2 years ago, I don't really see a huge difference, I wasn't even aware that SF was trying to be zero waste. I think its great but there's still a lot more left to go to get there.

recycling trash is not "zero waste". its just "100% recycled waste" city.
"ZERO WASTER" should mean that 100% of people make 0% of waste while living.
The point is everything that can gets recycled or composted. It's still a big deal. Coupled with increased government regulation of fossil fuels and waste such as plastic, it's possible to be "zero waste" in the future.
yeah, mean time, all the underground water is being pumped and spilled on useless lawns..

I think they define waste as the end product that goes to landfills or incinerators. If you're able to recycle that plastic and turn it into more plastic then you haven't created waste, you've created more product. Creating compost is also a great use of food waste, rather than placing it in a landfill where the food is never allowed to fully decompose the food is made into compost and sold. Of course there will always be a small percentage of waste because everything can't be recycled but that's where the first R (reduce) comes into play. Props to SF for taking steps to lower waste.
San Francisco has become a disgrace with doing nothing for the homeless, people using the streets as the bathroom, junkie leaving everywhere, etc. Too bad, it used to be a great city. Now, I won't go there. But, they don't allow plastic staws.....
More videos like this please, Seeker. Great job highliting San Frans success. A+
San Fran is not a successful city. It's a slum controlled by the Chinese. They're keeping the city in disarray, ripe for espionage or even a land invasion...
0IIIIII
Somebody's angry...
Scowler >:O
It's people like you posting hate comments and polluting RUclips. Dunno what the Chinese did but people like you are keeping RUclips comment section negative and disgusting. Every time I intend to see some thoughtful feedback and conversation, I end up disgusted by hate words.

I would take you seriously, but you're probably just a paid troll, somewhere in Beijing, using a VPN to get around your own governments censorship of the internet.
All cities should require this!
3:00 "Smells like hell" .. hell is gonna smell like compost LOL

Well I know there was a Dane talking about composting, but here in our town in Denmark we do compost at the recycling center, and if you need some for your garden it is free to pick up too :)
I wish one day this technology of recycling comes in my homeland
Now you better reduce your own waste following small things like no shopping with plastic bags, no food to take out etc
This is a great start! Good job! Now, follow Terracycle's "Loop" initiative to see what the future holds for preventing disposables from even entering the waste stream. As for compostables that should always be and hopefully no more shoes.
What about plastics? Isn't it the most difficult material to recycle? How are they doing it?
JaviRockMusic redcycle
We have a real solution to plastic waste problem ! check my RUclips chanel
Ship it to Asia. Pretend that it's good
they just send it to Malaysia, where it gets dumped into landfill. Narrow minded people call it recycling, but others think that trowing rubbish over your fence doesn't make the planet cleaner.
@@calgarycanada4274send them to us we make money with it we have a machine transforming 20 tons of plastic each day into 15000 Liters of crude oil !

This makes me happy for the future of our planet 😊😍
You all are so dense. Have you downloaded the snapcrap app yet?!
Climate change is the biggest hoax ever
And how happy are you now that San Francisco has turned into s shyte hole? Did you really belief this hype? Really? You did not realise it is just another way for rich people to grab subsidies and let the poor people pay for it? Can I sell you Table Mountain for a bargain?
Great job,every nation must adopt this and ensure that we pass on the same earth that we got from our parents to our children.
They need to take a look in the streets lined with homeless people. They'll find plenty of trash there!!!
I was just reading about a man who organized a clean up crew and they threw out about 50 TONS of trash from the streets and the homeless communities. That is an INSANE amount of garbage!!
Don't forget about the dope heads throwing needles everywhere
I see in other states a real lack of recycling , where they feel it's just easier to discard it. Nearly all apartment complexes don't recycle it's all discarded. And there's a serious slide scale on the repayment of items recycled aluminum $0.30 lbs., stamped isn't correctly , glass $ 0.00 , type 1 plastic $0.00 . There simply diverting it to land fills. Yes Texas , and Colorado I'm talking about you. Californians recycle it's good for the planet and the economy. ♻️
It's supposed to be $0.95 cents per lbs of aluminum.
Refusing packaging is the new recycling,
Foodforests are the new covercrops.
Make the switch buy better, bar shampoo instead of packaging everything in plastic or a need for packaging 😄
I live in the UK and the only things our household sends to landfill are non-recyclable plastic films and crisp/chip packets, I even make sure our lollie/popsicle sticks are composted.
If they’re able to eliminate the human waste on the sidewalks as effectively as this waste, there’s no telling what they can accomplish. Keep it up San Fran!!!
Enough plastic syringes to pave a road?
living in a small rural community, composting is a way of life, everyone has their own compost pile in the woods and frequent use their own compost. when you have to haul your own trash composting saves time, money, and effort
There is no recycling in my town. I have to drive 30 min to drop it off at a recycling zone.
in Brussels (at least in my district) since we need to prepare our garbage in bags divided by plastic&metals, paper, organic, bio (green stuff like grass or branches) outside, when garbage collectors come and they see ( yes they are transparent ) or feel that some bags contain something they shouldn't contain they just leave it in front of your house and it's a neighborhood shame if you have multiple bags in front of you house .
@@YT-GuestAccount fair enough
So someone from Denmark goes to the US to learn how to recycle when Sweeden which needs to import trash from Norway because it's too efficient at recycling is the neighbour of Denmark. As usual the US and Apple are the best and only ones in the world.
Grinch Yeah. Interesting point...
Actually Sweden gets trash from denmark aswell and england, italy and a bunch of other countries and less than 1% of our garbage goes into landfills so thay Mayor from denmark probably just wanted to travel a little and made an excuse for why he was going to San Fransisco who recycles about 80%...maybe the mayor of San Fransisco should go to Sweden to learn how its done.
yes as they pay sweden to take the trash. sweden burns in. mainly for heating but there exist other methods of removing the trash as well.
I am too concerned about poor solid waste management system here in Nepal. Always think about how we can reduce waste or if generated then how we can manage them. It seems difficult but not impossible..
If anyday I need a help then hope you will help me.
At last want to say that its a wonderful video to inspire.
Big thanks..
I wonder if they have seen San Francisco? Nothing goes to landfill, because it is thrown on the street
They need to pressure wash their streets and sidewalks 😔
Great job! Every State in U.S must do this! And where in the world should do this...unfortunately some countries may not be able afford this process. Do not ship your garbage to underdeveloped countries. We all live in one world 🌎!
My Town is one of the greenest in my state
This is amazing. Whole world is struggling with their trash but something like this will change the whole scenario.
3 years later they are know nationally as being so bad at waste theres human waste on their streets
This is amazing! I hope all cities can do this! It’s genius and so long overdue. So long.
Maybe that shoe was made out of compostable materials.
Yes we have composting here in Thrissur shakthan vegetable market, kerala 👍 but it's very small scale, only wast from the market is used there. I hope every markets in kerala have it's on recycling /composting units one day🙏
Someone from San Francisco needs to confirm if they still follow this in 2019.
Im from Qatar in the Middle East. We are slowly starting to care about the environment now. Slowly there are programs of recycling showing up, but people here don't care about the environment. I am trying to change that. I hope people will become more ecofriendly and take care of the environment.
"it smells like hell" SALTY AF
I am deeply impressed. Recology: may God bless your work and may this be a movement all over the globe
I'm so meant to live in San Francisco, CA. As soon as I finish my degree schooling I'm headed straight to San Francisco. 👍
DONT GO THERE!!! Its nothing like Full House.
Get ready to pay 90% of your salary on a 10 X 10 foot dorm room.
You may think you got in the wrong plane or the wrong country upon arrival at SF.
Recently catered for the Security team at the Outside Lands event in Frisco. And let me tell you, that they have a huge groups of teams who separates piles of trash into different bags. So I see how it's easily assembled back at their landfill...
Feces and used needles aren’t consider waste.
My brother and his family tried to get a company called "Geo-Compost" off the ground that would not only REUSE most solid waists but actually go back into the land fills and Glean the already buried Waist. The city was obviously paid MORE by the Disposal companies as reps from those companies were at the demonstration and told the mayor and council members "This won't work". That was 25 yrs ago and we are STILL burying solid Waist So I guess it all depends on WHO owns the "Green Companies",,,huh. Same with Solar and wind turban energy too.
It really bothers me when subtitles are added to someone who is easily understood
Yess!!! I thought I was the only one!! 🙌
+Lady Lyssa You guys just made my day! I'm that subtitled guy and I was wondering if I was that hard to understand :-)
+Daniel Nyboe Andersen Well good. I'm glad. I *love* your accent. It bothered me to see the subtitles when I could understand you easily, although I do get it that others may not. I still didn't like the subtitles even with that in mind lol. Don't ever change just because a few may have difficulty with it. 💁
In Jakarta I can see small burnings from the aerial view of my apartment. I asked my father what it was and why I always see smoke day and night, blocking the su and masking the moon. He told me they only burn plastics in Jakarta because they are lazy to make a change. I want change.
I like to introduce this system in my country india
I too ..
We need moreeeee people like you!!!
this is beautiful
This is an amazing idea that all countries should know and take action on!
canada has been doing this for years 😂😂 its not a new idea
NG Dennis where abouts in Canada? Im from interior BC and people really only care about recycling can and bottles bc they get some money back. Although I believe recently more people have started sorting more recycling and compost. Compost seems to be the one most people don't really understand since we have very few farms around here.
NG Dennis it's*
this has been around since 2009, the oldest countries to start something like this started in the 1990's that's not that long ago.
Actually in India most houses make compost out of their food waste and we reuse our items and I'm the end everything is given up for recycling it's not a new idea but it's how they promote it and we don't
Well China apparently likes buying our plastic milk jug pellets
In my city we installed an incinerator. It burns 690,000 tons of rubbish per year. The end result is power sold to the grid and ash waste that is almost all exported for use as an additional material in roads and other permanent public works construction materials. Ireland exports 320,000 tons of materials for "recycling" as we do not invest in home materials resuse here. Unlike most European incinerators, the waste heat is not used again and just vented. This was supposed to be done 10 + years ago. The post incinerated waste has little value and it generated a vast amount of C02 (as burning any waste would do). All domestic waste here is split by households into Green (recyclable in theory) and black waste (incinerated) with many also having a brown bin (food waste for composing). Waste glass is deposited into industry subsidised glass bottle banks where the glass is crushed and sent for recycling. Without the reuse of waste heat, the incinerator is only 33% "fuel" efficient ie 77% of the wastes energy is either lost as vented heat or is lost in the productions own power needs. Ireland produces some of the highest rates of domestic waste and plastic packaging waste in Europe for a population thats just over 5M people.
Do Americans still deny climate change?
Only the dumb ones, so yes, most of them.
+Zalx lmao
not all of us just some. depends who you're talking to and where. some people might just be unaware due to the families they have/places they grew up. I didn't learn about climate change until highschool and my mother, older brother, and his wife deny that climate change is an actual thing. I had to research it and everything since It wasn't really something they talked about except in a bad light. Some people are purposely ignorant while others, such as myself, aren't ignorant by choice but just uninformed.
The people who were denying the reality have moved the goalposts to "climate change is happening but it's not our fault", most of them seem to say it's the sun.
Zalx please don't conflate the volume of the political right to all of us.
Our fault or not, we know we can change it, so why would it matter? Even if it was the sun, we could still minimize the effects greatly.
Recycle people... if we all work together we can help our planet to become a better place for our kids and our kids children. It does take a little more work but our planet need it and we need our planet. God bless everyone...
Singapore is complete zero waste ....
The whole country is waste free
That's so amazing 😱
Prakash Pandey for some reason im not surprised
Awesome, this is so genius! Hopefully LA, Chicago, NY, and Dallas will follow soon
This hasn’t aged well. There so much human waste on the sidewalks now.
This is amazing. So proud of these great creatures who still look forward to make a better world.

I only clicked on this cause it said San Francisco and I live there and I never knew that but now the more I think about it, it makes more sense
Anna Yu, kindly consider Zero Waste in the Last Best Place facebook.com/ZWLBP
YGBSM. San Francisco is just swimming in feces and needles. But I guess that doesn't count as waste. Lol
We don't have any recycling units in Darjeeling, we're looking forward to it !
San Francisco is one of the nastiest cities now tho..lol
Wow so grateful for this! Consumers have a ton of power and impact, but governments definitely need to do their part too. So happy to see the composting being accommodated. Please remember though that recycling is not the goal; reducing waste as much as possible is. Bringing your own bags/containers and buying in glass jars or bottles with a packaging deposit, only this is truly zero waste and the best thing to do! Do your part, as much as you can (:
Also remember that the nr 1 most impactful thing you can do for the climate is to stop buying animal products!
None in India
There are many .
Ignorant
That is a great effort !
I once heard singapore is making a land using the trash. Just thought it can be a great effort too
Riiiigggghhhhtttt !!!! If you believe any of of this I've got some nice oceanfront property I'd like to sell you. Oh, by the way, the property is in Nebraska!
I made compost with food waste and i can tell you yhe tesult wad amazing!!!The compost SMELLS SO NICE, SO NATURAL and does not stain your hands!!!!
Come to sweden we are 10 times better ate it :)
lingus0212 not really
yes really...
lingus0212 no one wants to go to sweden now.... Overpopulated by migrants.....
then why does Sweden incinerate so much of its waste rather than recycling/reusing/repurposing? in fact, it incinerates so much waste that it imports it from other countries leaving a sizeable carbon footprint in the process. that doesn't sound anything near "10 times better."
This is amazing,i wish every city was like this.
does anything like this happen in republican states? anything at all like this?
thuzan117 No. lmao
Places like Calif specialize in garbage
thuzan117 - ya and they’ll eventually put your kids to work sorting trash like in third world countries cause they are fucking broke.
thuzan117 What a joke!! SF streets are covered with shit, literally feces, and heroine needles. Don't lecture us red states on how to operate our cities. No, we don't have shit and needles littering our streets and don't want them. I got the hell out of SF because people have lost their minds. I had to explain to my neighbors kid not to pick up a friggin' heroine needle because it's DANGEROUS. People like you make me sick! You walk around sipping your cup of joe wearing yoga pants ignoring what's wrong in front of you. BTW, shit for brains, I live in GA and yes we know about composting. We were doing it well before you yuppies called it "cool" and "rad." Please, grow a brain!!!!
No, and a 1200 square foot house doesn't cost a million bucks either.. SFO is a garbage heap.
Thanks for sharing it's nice to see videos aren't always just making fun of somebody on RUclips
Oof, this didn't age well.
The Lakeview landfill here is the highest point on the southern horizon and is getting higher every day...now in Erie County, PA, it is illegal to recycle glass bottles....so they are going to the landfill! They say it costs too much to haul the glass to the glass bottle plant...Go figure?
Meanwhile in India:
"Who cares?!"
Are you interested?
We are fucked up as a country. The only thing thing we are good at is producing children and garbage.
Meanwhile in India:
Public pooping on the beach
:(
Many Indians care, we need to raise kids to recycle
It doesn't matter who cares or not, but if you care then do the right thing. Personally I litter a lot as compared to an average San Francisco citizen but as compared to an average Indian I avoid as much littering as I can.
I live in Las Vegas and there’s almost no options for composting, probably because in a desert there’s not a whole lot of farmland. I really wish this was an option in my city.
Can we compost the homeless
Don't be an a-hole
Can anyone help with how much will this entire setup might cost? I really want to study more about it.
Old fake news
Thats cool, living in SF and this video being release 2 years ago, I don't really see a huge difference, I wasn't even aware that SF was trying to be zero waste. I think its great but there's still a lot more left to go to get there.
