the burden needs to be on the producer. If your packaging cant be recycled or degraded in a sustainable way then you should not be allowed to produce it. There is so much unnecessary plastic waste and most of it is not recyclable however much the companies tell you its up to you to do it. Gov should also upgrade waste incinerators so that they emit less toxic fumes
I work at a waste incinerator and we release around 10% co2 20% H2o And the rest 70% is depending on whatever we are burning 270 mg per cubic So2 for example
These incinerator are ingenious. They produce low emissions of h20 and C02. Landfill need to be avoided at all cost. This is not a race issue this is a human impact on the earth issue.
Thanks for putting out positive news about intelligent, happy people doing things that are worthwhile. It makes a big difference to how other people think about the future. ❤️
The location of this incinerator is not really near the majority "low income" population of Baltimore. On one side you certainly have a run down part of town but few people even live there (it's mostly boarded up houses). On the other side is the more affluent and far more populated inner harbor area. Far more people actually live there so this claim while technically true is mislead, at least in the Baltimore example.
Huge, nationwide problem. I think there are small groups involved in figuring it out, but small, local efforts aren't going to get it done. Generally no one's even aware of how trash disposal works. People think that you put it in the bins and it disappears. It doesn't.
I would never feel confident sharing or believing anything the guardian has to say it’s a left-wing Democrat globalist agenda leaning editorial sale it’s no different than CNN
No mention of bioaccumulation of pesticides in the compost which will be ingested, but with only 25lbs of waste collected each week, as long as not too many people eat the three carrots this will grow, shouldn't be too much of a problem.
I would like to say regulate corporations on there dispensing materials but honestly recycling in the USA is just sub par. 1 it cost money to do so in a lot of places and 2 it’s not specific enough. Some first world countries have 2-3 different recycling bins.
Here in Bologna we have five bins . We have also a smart card to access the disposal sites. If you don't differenciate correctly , you can get a fine . 90% of our detrituses are recycled.
Baltimore citizens should take personal responsibility first and clean up their neighborhoods and stop throwing trash on the ground and then act like it’s someone else’s job to pick it up. It starts with the individual, you can’t expect others to care about your area if you don’t.
The only other option they have given us is to send our trash to a landfill. We need a much more robust recycling program, and we need to ban all non-recyclable packaging in Baltimore.
We talk about this every year... why because we are a throw away society in a plastic age, and guess who benefits from that plastic... oil companies, and this is why plastic will continue to be produced because it is needed just as much as fuel in the food packing industry... everyone needs food, everyone needs fuel so the only thing to do is deal with the root of the problem.

These people are ridiculous. Dude wearing expensive clothes and talking about saving the environment.

Yep PBS "plastic wars" went over this I agree
Tax the producers of plastic packaging. The market then has greater inpetus to find alternatives
But I can see why some producers Package it's products more *I'm looking at you Ice cream lick challengers*
Friend unwraps her shopping in store and leaves the packaging there.
Then don’t buy products with non recyclable packaging, vote with your wallet smh
You guys realize the only thing coming out of that smoke stack is co2 😂
Actually 96% of the visible smoke is water vapour while 3% is co2 and less 1% is other gasses.
they are sheep
I work at a waste incinerator and we release around
10% co2
20% H2o
And the rest 70% is depending on whatever we are burning
270 mg per cubic So2 for example

Nothing wrong with burning it.
Huge, nationwide problem. I think there are small groups involved in figuring it out, but small, local efforts aren't going to get it done. Generally no one's even aware of how trash disposal works. People think that you put it in the bins and it disappears. It doesn't.
Small, local efforts are the only way things ever get done. It's only after enough grassroots effort that things get going.
I’m with you here, and you could Interview some scientists next time, not only activists. I would then feel more confident sharing the video.
These people aren’t activists they are speaking in the capacity of their jobs. They have knowledge on subjects they speak about..
Don’t need a Scientist to know what’s going on is bad
I would never feel confident sharing or believing anything the guardian has to say it’s a left-wing Democrat globalist agenda leaning editorial sale it’s no different than CNN
If you don’t want pollution then YOU need to be willing to go zero waste.
What about the coal fired power plant? I would argue that it more concerning.
For sure 👍
After it burnt its gone forever! Recycling some will give for the future. In time old dumps will be mined for the waste.

Precious plastic is an open source recycling system that helps reduce plastic waste, definitely can help everyone make an impact

Same in U.K. giant polluting incinerators among us in Colnbrook, Slough, next to Heathrow Airport & another next to Hillingdon Hospital!
For a person from developing country, for us incinerator is the solution for our trash problem.
Free Tibet, Free Hong Kong , Free Inner Mongolia, Free Xinjiang and protect Taiwan
Xinjiang real name is east Turkestan
The only other option they have given us is to send our trash to a landfill. We need a much more robust recycling program, and we need to ban all non-recyclable packaging in Baltimore.
Must be tough living in a place with such unclean air. Change has to start somewhere.
Composting is very important for the planet and for us
nah, crime is far more of a problem here. Already on track to beat last year's homicide record...
Yyy
Protect our precious air 🙏🏼

Well my older sister recycle was delayed due to be on strike and wonder why.
an important message distorted by ideological nonsense
You guy can repackaged it as recyclable goods for export to Africa or Middle East or Asia as usual.
Send it to the Sun
BUT YOU ARE NOT willing to do that.
Democracy
in Europa ne abbbiamo n 450,no problem
