When I was a child (1980/1990) I remember buying things in glass bottles. All those bottles were returnable for $.05 per bottle. A lot less goods were sold in plastic containers.
This video is truly heart breaking and disgusting! And no matter how much we as consumers recycle, the problem comes down to companies taking the cheapest possible approach to manufacturing and disposal. Make as much profit as possible per sale. Make a little less and be more responsible. It's not us it's them!
UNDERRATED COMMENT 👍👍👍👍 !!!! I have been trying to tell people that the garbage problem is really the fault of big businesses & companies that are much more interested in profit than reducing their negative impact on our environment ! Ordinary people can only do so much to help out ! These big businesses & companies really need to stop producing so much non-recyclable goods ! Even if ordinary people... for example... stop buying plastic bags, those plastic bags will still be there lying in wait until someone else decides to use them ! The companies seriously need to stop making them !
Not us? We all believed big industry, and bought in on plastics. How many plastic products have you alone bought over the past two weeks?
@@S.Clause buy it in plastic or not at all. That's the option.
Yup and beer and soft drinks taste so much better out of glass containers.
@@smartchai I remember when grocery stores gave us a choice of paper or plastic at the checkout counter. I always chose paper. At the time, it was not because of an awareness of the ecosystem but simply because I preferred paper bags. Eventually, I became aware that I was actually helping our planet. Then, one day all the paper bags disappeared, and we were left with no choice. It was plastic or nothing. I've collected my own cloth bags over the years and used those until I ran out, but I've never gotten an answer as to why the paper bags disappeared from the stores.
Man, it's rare that a BE AMAZED video would make me feel guilty for being human.
Dont be help the earth do your part and recycle we can still save our planet
@@Bobert2314 ?
no need to feel guilty for being human - you didn't choose to be. being human is what allows us the awareness to strive to be better!
If you feel guilty about being human, you have more serious problems than garbage.
Planet Earth is a beautiful place, but it has a disease called the human race.
I feel so ashamed to say that i am an Indian and the trash problem is just growing and growing and our president is just trying to keep his position instead of helping the country that made him the president
I don't think you're an Indian, because you don't even know that India's elected leader is a prime minister not a president. You're just a racist pretending to be an Indian. Many other basic problems and needs have been greatly improved under this prime minister. Millions of people got access to sanitation and clean drinking water and electricity, something that the governments of the last 75 years couldn't be bothered to do.
Too many people not enough land. What can you do. China has the same problem. As do all major population centers. New York , Chicago, and much of our north eastern U.S.. Maybe they can compress it with something and squeeze some fuel out of it.
Spot on they can driwn in their own filth.
Every country is the same way
Stop manufacturing babies in India... Too much population produces tons of waste... I think India has 1 billion people.
It's AMAZING how comfortable we are producing more non degradable waste than we can recycle... Truly mind blowing if you ask me..
whats insane to me is how each landfill has it's own unique properties, which garbage mountain will come out on top?! 🤪
😂😂😂
@@neotower420 💀💀💀
American laziness
@@neotower420 🤣 lol competing for Guinness book.
I've visited multiple landfills when I went to work with me dad, who did scrap and trash hauling. Seeing the size of these landfills and all the garbage inside them for the first time left me stunned. I live in LA, and seeing the nearby landfills and how packed they were was a stark reminder of the impact we humans make.
At least one redeeming factor was that the landfills collected methane from the trash mounds and recycled materials on site that could still be used again. So that was nice.
Have visited sunny farms landfill in fostoria ohio
Be Amazed always makes unique videos. Truly Impressive!
yes they are
I could watch their videos every day 😅😁.
they want to entertain us with interesting vidoes while getting paid too. they care about their subs and thank them for everything. itS not just about money.
@@laggod4392 exactlyyy
Why do comments that are unoriginal as hell and sound like bots get to the top.
I was worried that my room was going to be feathured in this vid. 😅 Love youre vids keep up the amazing work and creativity 🤗 and my room is always clean.
Ha, I think my Uncle's house would have qualified
I’ve work on a garbage truck for the past 14 year. The amount I’ve contributed alone is astonishing.
What happens to all the trash how they get rid of it does it get burned or something?
@@josgn lol no they don’t burn it. I drop it off at a dump where a bunch of other county’s drop there trash off. It gets sorted out for recyclables and what not and then gets brought by either truck or barge to a landfill. What happens from there your guess is as good as mine.
@@jayr2138 👍👍
I know here in Denver about 25 miles out it's been barried and there's pipes coming up from it for methane release.
Well, I've always wanted to go mountain climbing but I think I'd pass on climbing these mountains 😂
@@lilacblues102 It is to me, i hate america anyways
@@lilacblues102 relax they are just trying to light up the mood
@@winlaxis9683 OK, i guess that was kinda funny
It's sad to see all this. People throw everything out without thinking of where that will go. I recycle as much as I can, I compost and I try to reduce my waste as much as possible. However, it is still too much. I love the projects that get trash(waste) and use it to produce energy, not by burning, but by generating methane gas, for example.
Try share out these thoughts!
China -> 1.4 B -> 215 M tonnes of trash
India -> 1.3 B -> 68 M tonnes of trash
USA -> 0.3 B -> 268 M tonnes of trash
Speaks a lot in itself.
I never understand why something as simple as wood is placed in a landfill, it can be recycled over & over many times, or turned into mulch for landscaping..
Theres more to it then just construction debris when decomposed it can release tons of gases
@@deitrastover4777 Most people know that wood soaked in creosote will release toxic gas, especially when burned. Some pallets used to stack and deliver chemicals like those used for chlorine pools will absorb some of those chemicals just from being in a stocked warehouse. In my experience, and my Dad used to build houses, most people don't recycle wood products because it's much easier to send it to a landfill rather than spend 5-10 minutes researching whether or not it can be recycled. Then again, we now live in a country where grown people have to be told or reminded to wash their hands as well as cover their noses and mouths when they sneeze or cough. Something our 8 year old granddaughter was being taught to do when she was a tiny thing and still does it on her own without anyone telling her to. Nothing really surprises me anymore. People have become insanely lazy, generally speaking . In my not so humble opinion.
~ APRIL LIPKE
Most of this trash comes from AMERICA and gets shipped to these land fills. The problem is that there's no "money" to be made in america for recycling. Most of the "recycle" bins you see just go to the regular trash.
Also the cloths
This just makes me cry and hope our children will not suffer😥😥
If you ever seen the movie Wall-E, I believe that will come true someday maybe not to that extent but this world will inevitably turn into a wasteland if we do nothing to change our ways.
I too saw that with one of my children when it came out and it made a impression on me. I have thought of it often and not just the trash on earth but the effects had on the people with no one walking and all things being consumed being liquid and such.
Many people on a cruise ship remind me of the that movie.. Fatsos on scooters! Not a singe babe in sight!
Oh yeah it’s such a tragedy we have garbage services to haul it to and create enormous garbage piles rather than let it pile up in our neighborhood streets and yards and toss into our nearest rivers.🙄
@user-kn3gl8ie5e Have you ever been to the Philippines? They don't have much trash disposal there. It's horrible.
NO 💩
This man made the biggest redemption, I’m not gonna lie I used to think your videos sucked and spread misinformation, and in your very early days they were. Now your spreading true and useful/interesting and even amazing info.
I appreciate the videos that BE AMAZED makes, I don't know who's voice is behind these videos, and who is editing them, but I respect the effort that is put into these educational videos. With that being said, thank you.
In the face of this grim situation, it is good to know that so many countries are using methane gas to produce electricity, what a great way to help the environment!
I guess it's making the best out of a bad situation
The river of trash is the most shocking, how could we let it be like that!?
Because nobody care. Here in Indonesia, environment is our very least concern. Religion first, others doesn't matter.
The ammount of trash in the world is just mindblowing
Just like your spelling
@@googlelord1678 You do a little trolling
Pure human stupidity
He has no spelling errors! What are you smoking?
@@dulguunjargal1199
The amount of trash my family of three produces each week is mind-blowing.
It feels like this is one of the first countdown videos by BE AMAZED, the countdown sounds good
I will never understand why do fruits and veggies need to be cling wrapped. And the worst part is that we are not given alternatives to not buy produce that is not packed in single use plastic.
Yes they should allow to take back the plastic
The supermarkets can do a lot of logistics taking back packing material
@@KanishQQuotes Totally agree!
Some countries dont have box to tooth paste. What useless things
I quite agree, it's disgusting. There's no need for most things to be wrapped in plastic.
Easy, CHEAP "solution". Scoop it up, heat and compression into bricks, SELL the bricks. Instead, whine?
YOU WANT SOME CHEESE TO GO WITH THAT WHINE 🍾🍷🍼🧀🧀
You are incorrect in stating that methane has a foul smell. Methane is odorless. Any odor associated with landfills is from decomposing garbage, not from the resultant methane generation.
Yep they add mercaptan to it to give it its eggy odor because it’s odourless
@@timsmith1323 don’t they do it to stop people from wanting to wander in there
Let's give the guy credit though. The fact that he researches all these and edits the video while also recording voice overs is truly amazing. Not all videos are going to be perfect. So still thank you ♥️ seeing corrections at the comment section every now and then will help them on their next research ✌️
@@doubletrouble8353 they add the smell to all natural gasses that are odourless because they end up killing people if you don’t smell them mate or at least for the most part I think
@@renae3679 chances are he’ll have people who write and research for him like watop or Simon whistler
WOWWW !!! Great job South Korea !!! For actually caring about your citizens. But what's up with you India you could do so many things to help your people & your country but looks like you don't care at all kinda like Indonesia
Who the hell do you think you are? Are you giving out medals? Who the fuck are you to judge entire countries based on little bits shown in a video on youtube of all places, and saying stupid things. Obnoxious racist. What country are you from, and is your country garbage-free? Are you personally generating zero garbage? Compare the populations between these different countries and see the per capita garbage generation first. Prevention is better than the cure. Reducing garbage generation in the first place is the best solution.
Imagine if all the nations of the world that can do it, would work together to start using all the worlds garbage as energy to power homes and business everywhere, we could keep it maintained to where these places could shrink down a easier to manage size! It makes a lot of sense to try this!
What are YOU doing to help? I stopped buying water bottles and I use a Brita water filter 👍
This was strangely very entertaining 👌
The USA's responsibility to generating trash is due to economic policy to guarantee future sales by Planned Obsolescence and sale of Rejects vs disposal -due to volatile consumer demand. It secures jobs (most not in US) and Sales Tax or Consumer Tax for the US.
I am relaxing while watching your videos. ❤️
💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣🤣
Finally some content about the UK
Fr
Countries like America should be investing into more infrastructure to handle our own recycling and trash
Most people recycle because the city hall fornece the bins, otherwise they dont care, just throw in garbage everything that could be recycled.
There must be a way to covert the trash to bricks and fuel it would help the planet so much
NOT ENOUGH MONEY TO BE MADE, PEOPLE ARE TO GREEDY 😈👿👹👺😡TO DO THAT.
We pride ourselves in being so advanced but we still either bury our trash 🗑️ or just dump it in the ocean 🌊 😶
YOU'LL NEVER SEE SUCH INTELLIGENT CARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT IN THE TRASH PIT IN THE US!!
wow, i can't believe all those developed countries still use plastic bags, in my country, plastic bags are banned and we use cotton and paper bags only. and also dumping waste like that is illegal so everyone has his/her own dumping pit at home to reduce over production of methane and risks of 🔥.
What country do you live in please?
@@DianaBamaRN 🇹🇿
Now you know the hypocrisy of the first world countries lol Not only they have largest trash piles, they also shipped their recycles trash to poor countries to be sorted out instead of doing it themselves.
Imagine being on a plane that goes past a huge garbage dump, think of the smell, you havent thought about the smell
🤢
Eww I can already smell it from my screen. Nasty.
@@fandroid6491 🤢🤮🤮
This has to be the saddest episode
Cry then
Cry for trash
I wonder how many tons of Face Diapers are floating in the ocean... It's a good thing we got rid of plastic straws
I wish there was plastic straws or metal ones because paper ones are trash they go soggy and hard to suck out of
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, I STILL SEE 👀👀THEM EVERYWHERE, METAL ONES WOULD BE NICE BUT PEOPLE ARE TO LAZY TO KEEP THEM CLEAN 🫧🪥 .

That would be a trashy way to go
@@tenshidesu503 hahah yes!
9:52 I really liked how after saying how many people could be buried standing up then saying probably won't be many volunteers it shows a pic of Kimmel. Perfect example of the trash that should be there. @9:51
Im allwas blown away how mutch disrepect ppl have for nature and water...
In only there's a factory that compresses those trash into cubes that can then be used for building purposes
Whew! I was sweating for a minute, thought my bachelor pad would be featured. 😂
🤣🤣
Working in a used wholesale paper company. We bought crazy amounts of magazines off the shelves so the stores can place next issues. The company would take them out of boxes, or off pallets. Bale them up and fill up shipping containers. When China stop buying them we stop buying them. Don't know what is happing to the tonnages of last month, with this month dates, magazines now.
What surprise me the most is the quantity of print materiel, cardboard boxes and boxboard that is never used.
Pallets of cereal boxes that never gets cut. Boxes that never gets filled, mailers that never makes it to the mailbox.
Keeps me feed, but can't we do better, not created things that never gets used?
They should ban newspaper, magazine. Just read it online
@@robumf They should ban junk mail, they are wastest of waste.
I recycle all plastic unless it’s not recyclable.. The problem is a lot of plastic isn’t recyclable.. Those black plastic trays microwave dinners use.. So if you buy them get the ones that use paper trays !!
Paper tray from tree. No more tree lol
i have never dumped anything into an ocean, so cross me off from that list
Same
Lier.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?? 🤔😱
I cringe ever time I see a pallet of cases of plastic water bottles, remember when you just drank water out of a reusable glass or a garden hose?
BEEN THERE DONE THAT AND I AM 67 YEARS OLD NOW , WE ALWAYS DID THAT AS A KID.👍🤔😁🤠🏡
OMG! This makes me repulsed by my own consumerism.
Mother Nature has her way of getting even, happens every day.
I’ll never understand the “Olympic swimming pool” analogy. I don’t think I’ve ever even seen an Olympic swimming pool outside of television.
Yeah, just like when they say "placed so we'll you can't even fit a razorblade into it", when even if it's not a tight fit, I still cannot fit a razorblade into a regular brick or stone wall.
@@jackflackk3153 🤣
If we are suffering then spare a thought for the poor animals.
it would be better if all the trash went to the recycled, but unfortunately it's not cheap
With every such video I realise why Marvel put such a grim future for Earth in Loki series.

Why not fill up the sink holes all over the world? That would get most of it gone!

We should use trains to transport garbage not to a large landfill to a recycling center
Welp our country has the world record for the biggest and tallest trash mountain
This video really helped me to do my homework. Thank you!
Olympic size swimming pools and football fields seem to be the standard units of measurement in these types of videos....
Cuz 'muricans
This was an AMAZING 😉 video. The best one I've seen. It is truly 💔💔💔. Thank you so much!!!😢😢👏🏽👏🏽
🤣🤣🤣
I know of a closed dump in my town that we call "Mount Trashmore"
I thought THAT was big before I saw these
You aren’t from Michigan are you? Because we called a local dump the same thing and would go skiing/sledding on it in the winter many years ago!

Be Amazed your always there to entertain, inform, and even sometimes shock this planet. Without your videos I truthfully would never have known some important things, had bright days when I thought all was lost, or socialized as much as I do. I am Agoraphobic (Fear of places and situations that might cause panic, helplessness, or embarrassment. Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder that often develops after one or more panic attacks.) (That information was provided by the Mayo clinic and others off of Google) and do not interact with others if at all possible. So your web channel on RUclips is sometimes my friend, my family, and the source that keeps me grounded. Thank you so much for all you do and I'm looking forward to your next content.
P.S. If you decided to do MORE videos a week I would praise you on high. LOL
This video makes me want to recycle ♻️
Disgusting. We must recycle more of our trash.
It's It's disappointing tech has advanced this much and we havnt thought of making a machine that burns rubbish and make the smoke into carbondeoxide that goes into a plant room
Happy Wednesday
Methane is smell-less. The decomposing trash just does also release several other chemicals, like sulfur-containing ones (smell of foul eggs) and a wide variety of other stuff you don't want to think about.
🤢🤮
I have not been watching for a long time but I wish I started watching a long time ago pls say my name some time
Be amazed more like being amazing
We can all thank Joe Biden!!!
The plastics industry wants us to think that recycling is OUR responsibility. But, given that THEY don't give us any alternatives WE are forced to buy single use plastic items from THEM. And because most plastics are NOT recyclable, the world is being swallowed by plastic. Don't ask the question "what did we do before plastic" since that ship sank back in the 1950's when plastics were introduced to the world and the world went gaga for them.
Not only this, they tell us they are recycling our stuff but then I find out it all goes to the dump anyway. Always check to see where your recyclables REALLY go.
In sweden they raised the price of plastic bags etc, so now 70 percent have stopped using plastic here. So it works great. Now mostly everything is made from paper and its amazing, any country can do this. But im afraid its too late for india
Las Vegas has got the right idea, even if we gave up rubbish today Las Vegas will still be bright 😂
Hi Be Amazed! Big fan of you!
16:35, im dutch, and i swear, i have never heard of a word called 'kill' in my own language, (dutch, in case you somehow didnt know) and i didnt even know it means 'streams'
Same lol. I had to rewind that part to see if I had heard that right. Maybe it's very old Dutch?
@@accalya271 i think so

Instead of investing in a good incinerator, the municipal in Mumbai asked to increase their garbage mountain, like what?? They're aim for the Guiness Record or what? 😳
I think that south korea is the most eco friendly country in all of the earth! It almost made me cry! They're so dedicated!
No actually South Korea isn't even in the top 10. Denmark is the most eco friendly country in the world at the moment
@@noblepuma6033 oh thank you for that information. I will now watch a documentary about that!
@@azialemae3915 Np :)
Japan has been using incinerators effectively for years for their trash that they didn't even have trash problem like the first world countries have lol
@@noblepuma6033Bhutan is carbon neutral lol.
This video was very informative and educational. I had not heard about South Korea's energy plant trash dump and this seems like an amazing and effective way to handle 2 needs at the same time. I hope this idea is duplicated around the world. I have switched to laundry sheets that disolve in water to avoid purchasing those big bottles. I'm hoping to be able to do this with other products, too.
I just watched a video that was about a company that is working to clean up one of the pacific oceans garbage islands. They are a nonprofit company and also use the cleanup debris into other objects that we want and use. It was weird that after I watched that video this one came up.
There is money to be made in garbage dumps. Almost everything in a landfill can be recycled in one form or another. There are so many different products that can be made with the different plastics, like bottles, plastic wood , fabric, even some things that can be used in electronics. The metal can be used in a variety of different products and the wood can be used in pellets, maybe reclaimed wood, paper, furniture and a variety of different things. The organic things like food or any other organic waste can be composted. The paper can be used for other paper products. The cardboard is like gold to some recycling company. They can use this into boxes, paper, wood pellets or fire logs or just about anything that you could think of.
Recycling is a scam. They say we recycle bit we pack most recyclables up and send it China. They turn around and dimp it in the ocean.
You need to watch that video again as there is no islands of plastic in the ocean.
@@jimpatriot179 that's correct, the trash island is a hoax.
Only 16% recycled what?😹 What's going on in these world? 🤣🤣🤣
much of the land fill is plastics and much of it is not recyclable, what needs to be done is to start to put the worlds volcanos to good use, once the recyclable materials are removed the waste can be compresses in to cardboard tubes roughly the size of rail road tanker cars and stacked on waste barges that would carry the highly compressed waste products to a facility constructed on the edge of an active volcano that has a large ceramic tube extending out over the main pool of lava, then the compressed garbage would slide down the tube and in to the middle of the lava where the temperature reaches near two thousand degrees, at that temperature any toxic materials will be rendered harmless, the cardboard tube would be thick enough to withstand the lava for a short while, while the tube sank below the lava and burned up, along with all of the toxic chemicals that would be released from the burning plastics, and the only thing that would be left behind is the ash that would be rendered harmless.
Lets go I am the 7000TH person. And I all so love ❤️ this RUclips channel! And you are my most popular RUclips channel I watch.
I forgot to do the word always
I noticed Amazon has a lot of packaging that is a waste. I buy a lot of things from Amazon and all the packaging is a waste. I wish they could bring me some of the things without packaging like my cloths detergent. Cleaning supplies. There are a lot of products that do not need packaging. There should be an option that says packaging, NOT NEEDED. There is ways to lower trash. But big companies are not focusing on that. It can be done.
International law must be created for businesses to stop manufacturing and selling unnecessary non-biodegradable plastic products asap. Items which are being used on daily basis but made of plastic such as straws, styrofoam plates, plastic soda/juice cups, supermarket plastic bags, chips containers, etc. must be converted into biodegradable / recyclable materials such as paper grocery bags, paper straws, paper plates, paper cups, etc.
It's such a shame that the most intelligent animal on this planet will be the one who destroys the planet
Build more disposal centers would be logical
How about not producing more trash!
@@jackflackk3153 How about not pooping for life
BIG HOLE IN THE GROUND
I mean at least they don't burn the trash in the open air. A lot of rural communities in alaska burn their trash in open air. It's pretty bad
I just learned that the USA is responsible for less that 1% of plastic waist in the oceans while China and Japan are the worse polluters.
how you know? you got your own satelites to spy around 1xx nations?
Hey BE AMAZED , can you do a video on new zealand , idk, we just never get mentioned
The be amazed person is someone cute and cool! I keep looking out for him In the videos
You missed sunny farms landfill in a little town called fostoria in ohio
Where they bring in 7500 tons of trash and waste everyday from new york and new jersey
This video certainly left me AMAZED. You can BE sure of that. 😜
Ok we get it kid..
Looks like we need to deal with our garbage problems O.o
