    I’ve heard a psychologist say that abstract numbers mean almost nothing to us. If you tell people in numbers just how much damage we’re causing to the environment and the stark implications for us and life in general, it doesn’t do much to mobilize them. We need stuff that we can relate to, to which we can easily derive a meaning, something like images.

      Yes I just love catching the 9am surf in London on plastic lmao. Dont know if accurate and true are correct words to use. Unless you mean it as a metafor for all our current main stream political partys lies and controlling actions and blaming and punishing the people for their friends and families owning these businesses polluting the world in the first place.

    They could start by bringing in the Deposit Return Scheme they talked about in 2018. They second consulation is running at the moment, a year behind, please have your say and convince them to bring it in ASAP.

    • @vladimirimp
      @vladimirimp 3 года назад +2

      Sounds good but it won’t help this issue. What the video exposes is that when we put a plastic item in the recycling (as with a deposit return scheme), our government sends 90% of it overseas where it may well be dumped/burned.

    How sad! The government does indeed have a responsibility but so does every individual who buys, uses and 'recycles' plastic products. There are now alternatives for pretty much everything. We have a basically plastic free bathroom, cleaning products, personal hygiene products and most food products too. It can be done! It just requires some thought, some research and a willingness to do our bit. If anyone has any item they are struggling to find a plastic free option for - post it here and lets see if we as a community can help!

    Why are people still buying things in plastic bottles, chicken and egg, shops sell it, people buy it, this could be tackled at the manufacturer end, or the consumer end but really it needs BOTH. We need zero waste shops like the one near me where you can get your bottles of washing up liquid refilled, oat milk comes out of a dispenser, and all the fruit and veg is sold loose along with nuts, rice, sultanas, and even spices. My bin is wondering what happened. I have almost NO rubbish whatsoever, just a few glass jars/bottles and a few steel cans, and there is no ocean full of either of those. Demand change. Vote with your wallet when you shop. If there's no eco friendly shop in your town / village... start one.

    Have you heard about the Creative Society platform? Only by changing the format of society from a consumer society to a creative society will we be able to solve all the ecological and climate problems. It only takes each and every one of us to create a #creativesociety.
