"your garbage is on the way, prepare a grand reception. Eat it if you want to" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's our President there!! . . Actually that trash wasnt meant to be sent in the Philippines, cause we have our own issues with our own trashes we dont take other country's trash."
In fact.. some part of our country totally bans plastic, we use paper instead.
Honestly the best line ever
Lol America so full of it, too good to hold onto its own trash. Had to pass the trash to other countries.
Samuel Mensah Jnr 😂🤣😂🤣I just love that guy
Learning how to properly recycle and generally protect our environment should be mandatory in all schools around the world.
Actually it is they just don't give a damn about it🤣😂
We do in my country
They did this in the 90's when I was in elementary school. I guess it stopped when they started sending trash overseas smh lol
@@silvervixen007 Which country is that? We in Germany ship tons of trash even though we recycle relatively much. It's just better value selling it, so that's what many are doing.
they will do the opposite out of pure spite and create a generation that hates every aspect of the process

@ThatOneAsianBroChick and I am not American so none of us can afford to be "spoiled" the color doesn't mean $h!t
you're not mentioning a very veryyy important point. those countries are sending it back because canada and usa is hiding non recyclable trash within the shipments !!!
They're not hiding it, they just dont care.
The video actually says it
you can't hide anything in containers these days
Yeah... it's not really "hiding", we just can't be arsed to sort it out in the first place.
Actually they're dumping it overboard on the way back. Let's face it people the world is beyond saving.... let's burn it to the ground
“Your garbage... is on the way. Prepare a grand reception.” “EAT IT if you want to” He’s the Man!!

Ahahahaha yeahhh
well,, as a filo, i can tell u he's half a dumb of trump
Well as a citizen of the Philippines, you're the dumb one. 🙃
That's our president she's so savage in the Philippines
India banned single use plastics. EU did the same.
The USA are welcome to do the same. We permit you !
yeah but ameritards are goin be like: MUH FREEDOM!!!
MMERRRICCAAAAAA
@GonzotheGonz1 you do know the US just throws it in landfills or illegally throws it in the oceon. Lol so yeah shit countries not country.
@GonzotheGonz1 India is going to implement the ban in several phases but its going to happen as some states have already banning such things and soon more states will follow....

Recycle is the THIRD R.. First we gotta REDUCE, when we have done that, we move to the second one: REUSE what you couldn't reduce, and only then we RECYCLE. Don't skip steps.
I've always heard Recycle, reduce, reuse. That's how we were taught. I guess that's the problem there, teachers not educating us properly 🤣
you forgot to REFUSE! Refuse plastics and find alternative!
Best comment in here. But shhhh, no one wants to hear it, it's 'bad for the economy' to consume less
I agree with "refuse". But the 4th R can be RESIST - both Resist plastic and Resist this corrupt government.
@@shariscott9538 In the Phil I remember we have Science song during our elementary days that says "reduce, reuse, recycle". I gotta admit we still have terrible trash problem here, but your country is first world, we expect better the top country in the world.
"Your garbage is on the way, prepare a grand reception. Eat it if you want to"
Savage in such wierdly formal way!
This is no laughing matter, thanks for bringing it up Trevor.
An C Really the situation has gotten out of hand. People need to reduce their consumption some how and become more responsible.
Yeah? Made me laugh out loud.
Imagine the wasted water and tons of chemicals used if everyone actually properly cleaned recyclables.
Hahahahaha
He hates America doesn’t he?
So recycling isn't really recycling, it's dumping on another nation
US-recycling is, but it is different in other countries.
Oh, do you ever asked what happens with the high risk trash from USA?
@@Wolfspaule I kindly ask you that, if you will oblige

Well the other countries are supposed to recycle it but Americans are so bad at proper separation that even those other countries can't make a profit out of recycling.

Let's use hemp plastic! It only takes about 3-6 months to decompose, it's a renewable resource, AND it's non-toxic. Hemp for victory!
Raven Black the greatest thing ever little man
@@TwoForks_x LOL!
Yes, but also many people don't realize that throwing biodegradable materials into the landfill is not good. Landfills don't contain the proper microorganisms to break down. Even putting it into home compost piles won't work- when products are labeled compostable or biodegradable, it's often only in commercial facilities. Basically, it's greenwashing- but technically true.
Yes!
@@aliciab4676 Thanks for the perspective. Waste needs to be dealt with on a more communal level and even household level. There are differences in the way biodegradable and compostable products breakdown in a home compost setting (maybe neighborhood compost should be available for cities?) vs landfill setting (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2873018/). Switching to these products can be a better alternative to managing global waste increase if disposed of properly. Plastic is obviously not the answer.
Here in Philippines its more serious now, lots of business companies like fast food chains are not allowed to use plastics.
Same in many parts of India
How about street vendors? I see in every documentary these food vendors using cheap plastic sacks. We all could do better.
@@PositiveZ7 Filipino here, and unfortunately, many street vendors still use plastics, I bought coconut water this morning and the vendor used a single-use plastic bag to contain it.
@@theobuniel9643 we can't control other people's actions but you can do solutions on your own. As what I've watched from Judy Ann Santos, what they do is they bring their own tumblers and everytime they buy drinks from coffee shops they'll just tell the crews to fill the tumbler. My mother also, everytime she buys sopas or arroz caldo, she brings her own lunch box. Because the seller saves one paper cup for that, she adds more sopas. Kapag bumibili kami ng dirty ice cream sa mga dumadaan lang dito sa bahay, sa mug namin pinapalagay. And the ice cream man gives us extra scoop. So, more ice cream na, one less plastic waste pa.
I hope fastfood chains like jollibee will also promote bringing our own tumblers so we can save trash everytime we buy take out meals from them.
Wla ng straw sa mcdo at jollibee
Rwanda banned single use plastic. One day a month they have a country-wide "cleaning day"
Damn, that's really cool!
Rwanda is the cleanest country in Africa. America is the dirtiest country in North America.

That was funny but Duterte is a horrible man, at least what I know of him.
@@jss61 You're right.
@@jss61 He's an interesting leader. People in the Philippines like him because they prefer harsh leaders. It's so weird to think of, but I travel often and I speak to a lot of people from the Philippines, and the reasoning is that they don't want a leader to treat their problems with kids gloves. when you argue "what if" with them, they shut that down quickly.
He is very harsh. His war on drugs might not be the best way, but it is the fastest. It’s an extreme zero tolerance policy.
Jackie Es I’m Filipino and although he may be harsh. The country has seen great improvement since he’s been elected.
So maybe we, the U.S., should learn how to recycle our own trash ???
Plastic is not economically recyclable. It is technically possible to create new plastics from old garbage, but it's more expensive than just making new plastic from oil.
Fun fact some parts of New York was made from trash piles made into artificial islands.
@@SuperSmashDolls for the largest part, the manpower required to do the sorting at the moment is the biggest factor in that. But the US has like a bazillion prisoners, who theoretically could do all this sorting. I'm sure Trump would sign a bill to make that possible, makes him look "green" for fixing recycling, and it makes the companies running the prisons quite a bit of money, which would be good for Trump's odd at reelection.
And to pull the wool over the eyes of the liberal fake media, just do like EA and don't call it "forced labour", but instead call it "confined community service".
@@fermitupoupon1754 So Stupid for 2 reasons; 1. Prisoner don't give enough of a fuck to work that hard. They've already tried prisoners to replace migrant farm labor and they slacked off or outright refused, not like there's a real punishment if they don't, and 2. They already make shanks out of toothbrushes and miscellaneous crap, you're really suggesting they sort through trash? You might as well just give them all swords and have the guards show them their assholes.
John Smith What does that have to do with the OP’s comment??? She’s saying instead of paying another export country to recycle our waste, we should do it instead. America isn’t anymore wasteful compared to many other countries on the planet, in fact we don’t even score in the top 20 wasteful countries on earth. Your comment is random and doesn’t make sense as a response to the original post. You’re just trying to get likes by regurgitating what you heard from someone.
So.. the moral of the story is.. not to be a spoil brat(USA) n clean up your OWN mess.
Oh, fuck you. What makes YOU so fucking high and mighty?
@@malcolmchild1042 sounds like a brat here... go to your room young man. You're grounded.

Actually it's sort the recycling properly. Canada was the one who did it especially wrong here. He also didn't mention China BUYS our recycling because it is high quality.
What was n mentioned is China produces a lot of its own plastic waste and dumps it in the ocean affectiñg everyone. This show produces a lot of disinformation waste.
Muricans BIG mad to hear this. But y tho?
Love how hard the guy to the right of the president of the Philippines was laughing.

I like how he's using his platform ➕ jokes to spread awareness around the country
Actually.....I am going to be here ...to visit my friend. And if my friend has something negative to say about me.....I better listen.
Yeah that IS really good but he missed an opportunity to demonstrate the many biodegradable packaging products I've already seen SOME companies using. There seem to be replacements for everything, like perforated cardboard for bubble wrap, but clearly the problem is very deep and has to do with a throwaway corporate-consumer culture. Laws need to change and our whole lifestyle needs to go sustainable. It sickens me that 1 million seabirds die each year from plastic, whales are washed up starved to death with stomachs full of plastics. It's shameful and disgusting what we are doing to ourselves and other life forms.

Offers to build a few roads and bridges and for that the country must sign over it's fishing rights, trading rights etc to China. The countries are indebted to China, and they will not be able to pay China back for this, cause African politicians are greedy pigs, sign these deals and don't care for their people .

Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.
In that order, you should first reduce your consumption. Recycling is the last line and shouldn't be the first consideration.
Yeah the song is out of order cuz it needed to rhyme:🎶 "Recycle, reduce, reuse! And close the loop!"🎶
First America government need to make a rule to produce all plastic in one similar grade. So it can be recycled easily. Hard part of recycling is to separate diff grades of plastic itself.
@@dhanushl4337 First the government should outlaw single use plastics like Canada has. There's no need to recycle plastic when we stop making so much of it in the first place.
@@dhanushl4337 ya know, there was a Time where most things like bottles or cans were metal or glass, so all you did when you were finished, was send it back, and the corporations would wash, refill, and reseal them. Shopping bags were paper. Everything was near 100% recycleable
When plastic became cheap, it was favorable due to its durability, which ironically, is it's curse today
@@dhanushl4337 You cannot do that dipshit. Plastics have different grades for different fucking things. At best you would have to create bins for separate qualities of plastics.

philippines make bricks out of plastic
America doesn't adapt to new ideas from foreign nations. We're stubborn like that.
We need to start pressuring manufacturers to move away from plastic.
in Malaysia now they are using compostable bags that biodegrade in 5 years. No plastic in them and they feel so much nicer. Malaysia is also slowly phasing out plastic straws.
US doesnt want to change. Trump is even selling 10 plastic straws with his name printed on them from his campaign. The US population as a whole doesn't seem to feel the need to change.

@@aixamagr2897 He isn't praising Duterte as a person, he is noting positive action in the context of the situation. Duterte is still a crappy person, and that's a known, but in this particular scenario, he did something right. Context is extremely important.

@@VK-pn6rg Sorry to reply so late my reply last week was deleted accidentally.
I cannot watch the video you link as it is not available in the US. I did find another one where Trevor does talk about Duterte's comments about God but it is pretty mild.
Another video I found is by Colbert who has a similar animosity toward Trump. In the video he mentions Trump calling Duterte about his drug war and congratulating him or something. What is interesting here are the comments Denouncing Colbert by Filipinos. ua-cam.com/video/X9yBp6bjXeY/v-deo.html
You are right this video is more about Duterete's response to trash and not about his drug war. Also the the comments here by Filipinos show they love what Trevor said about Duterte. He made him look good. Since many people outside of Phillipines may not be aware of his dictatorship he could have thrown in a side joke to make people aware. Given the serious nature of Duterte's drug war, making him look should have been avoided.
My point is with all Trevor's animosity for some aspect of the West and especially Trump, he could have informed us that Duterte isn't so cool despite his bombastic response to Canada. It is all about how he frames the topics. There are always multiple layers and jokes so he could have slipped in something about Duterte not being such a great guy after all.
Just one observers opinion. Thanks.
in sweden we are in the process of replacing almost all plastic with paper, already today all cinemas have stoped using plastic straws and replaced them with paper straws, it is made in the same way as coffee mugs in paper. even throwing garbage in plastic bags is being replaced with paper bags
How does a paper drinking straw actually work? Wouldn't it just go to mush? I just drink from the glass, no need for straws anyway.
@@WarrenGarabrandt probably the same way paper drinking cups work. but usually more sturdier.
Warren Garabrandt the paper straws that I've used have been really rigid. I'm sure they would eventually dissolve into a mush but a few hours in a liquid is not a problem.
@@tommydoez Hmm. Well, paper drinking cups are usually lined with wax or plastic. I don't know what that does for their recyclability. Everyone I know just throws them into the trash when done. So, landfill.
@@WarrenGarabrandt oh, then my mistake. didn't know about them paper cup linage. but in essense the straws are pretty thick and sturdy, so them turning into mush will take some time
We were supposed to lead the way in waste management and green energy.
But we just offshored the problem to other poorer countries.
You forgot that they paid for it.
Inflec I don’t know of the technique, but most likely due to time or energy costs.
This needs to become a congressional priority. Ain't even about politics, though. It's about taking ownership of a self-induced monstrosity.

As a senior I remember eating off of glass dishes and the food was stored in glass containers. I have gone back to glass. I have found that glass containers not only clean up nicely they keep leftovers longer.
Try and buy your glass items at resale shop where the money goes to a good cause. Research it. I read once a “popular” resale store sends bundles of clothing to 3rd world countries not to donate, but to sell, and the CEO is making good money off of poor people buying the items. Grrr:€
@@couchpotato6270 Interestingly a lot of African countries that received all those donated cloths had their industries ruined because of it. What happens to the stores and manufactures of clothing in those countries that receive all those donations? You cant compete with free cloths, so the whole clothing industry in those countries collapsed. Which only made the situation worse in those countries. It's interesting to look at both sides of something as simple as free clothing for poor countries.
It’s difficult to avoid plastics, even when you try. But you gotta try!
One thing that should be done is to stop externalizing the costs of plastics. The costs of recycling need to be added to those plastic containers.
Time to go back to glass bottles and jars. Or metal cans and bottles.
@@AH-cy4md if I remember correctly glass was fairly difficult to recycle as well, and because of how terrible people are I'd say metal is better... After the last few days spent in a music festival I saw way too many smashed glass bottles on the streets

@@HollowMist11 or bio degradable plastic
Agreed but lots of food comes in plastic, not just organic. We need to find a solution for all foods asap.
@@HollowMist11 Stop using the frankly retarded disability excuse as a crutch for everything.
Besides if they are disabled to the point they can't peel an orange, chances are, they cant open a tightly sealed plastic lid either.
they continued sell these as people continued to buy them ..
**University of Arizona Philosophy Degree**

Her: shut up
Lmao 😂😂
U of A is not ASU but that still funny lol
MissMiaAfroGoddess both are still full of worthless degrees though lmao
I feel like degrees in general are becoming more and more worthless anyway. May as well get a degree in something you enjoy and are passionate about. Getting a degree to make money for money's sake is ridiculous, and a waste of your life

Why can’t we use the plastic to build the wall.... we got enough of it.. 😂
I mean they are already in rectangular stacks so it's just a matter of putting them side by side and stacking them a few high
Lol
brilliant dude lol
Very clever!
@Kareena Gandhi rude
Proud as a Chinese that started this campaign for developing countries to reject trash.
Yes, that is all well and good. However that is because these countries are creating so much plastic waste themselves they are overwhelmed. All countries need to stop pointing at each other and take a look at each owns issues.
@@naya7031 So you're gonna slam someone who probably had nothing to do with the atrocity just for their ethnicity. Nice. Do you interrogate innocent Germans or Japanese people for their government's crimes as well?

5:22 - When I realised that the President is funnier than the actual "comedian".
It is not too late to stop using one time use plastic bottles, straws, and containers. But as we all know, money and convenience are more important to Americans.
its should be up to coke and pepsi
Not all Americans, I’ve been obsessed with reducing my plastic use for a long time and I’m not alone. It’s great to be having this conversation because we’re going to have to deal with it.
*the world.
So many people still dont care. I think awareness is first step. I'm a USA citizen and even bring my own dishes for left overs when I go out to eat. The government needs to ban one time use plastics across the board!
When a good portion of nations take our weapons and aid packages. Its a trade.
America is such a mess. No clue how we are ever going to clean ourselves up.
Don't worry you'll be fine.. atleast you're talking about your problems..
Oh wait
What if they refuse?
Keep talking. Static is important for spark. Sparks are important for fuel and we could ignite positive change!
Watch the Penn & Teller Bullshit episode about recycling. It's not working. And all our garbage could be dumped in a 35x35 hole and it would take hundreds of years to fill it up.
America has sooo many money, you guys can solve the problem over night with the right person in front but you don’t interest in doing right things, only lazy and cheap solutions are ok, but on the other hand invest billions to destroy the planet... war, fracking, cars need 30l and so on 🤦♂️
I was shocked that in the us you have 0,15l plastic bottles for water, why? And China use all this as an example for success and copy it
I honestly love Duterte even if he says things way below the belt haha I wish trevor could talk about him more
Thank for raising the voices of Asian nations!
7:42 Actually, now that I think about it, Indians have been using banana leaves as plates for centuries. A pretty good and environmental friendly in my opinion.
Not too environmentally friendly. For those trees to be planted and enough leaves to be harvested... we have to destroy thousands of acres of forests and destroy habitats for countless species. Only true solution is depopulation of humans.
Or the thali. Eat, clean n reuse for years
@@lonewolf1513 So you are saying we need Thanos plan lol 😂
@@actress_haircut no, Thanos didn't focus specifically on humans. He should have done that, rather than eliminate half of all life including plants and animals.

Well no shit he’s a comedian
Mr fantastic ur right
So that’s something that’s fun to joke about?
If there were no jokes, people wouldn’t care about another blowhard browbeating things we should of considered long ago.
Land on deaf ears, in one ear, out the other, procrastinate till they forget, remember and just donate a dollar somewhere thinking they did good on their long lost stand. Those type of deals.
Well first of all, he shouldn’t do the topic if it’s not a joke and secondly if you say it as a joke people would take it as if it’s a joke.

I wonder how much "falls" off into the ocean as these floating cesspools travel across the globe?
Indeed, it's really crazy how much plastic is in the ocean
This is just a small snippet ua-cam.com/video/kU-vEYo9tyc/v-deo.html

I see it all the time when I go out, people putting dirty plastic and trash into the recycling bin... you can’t recycle plastic cover in food, you can’t recycle paper stained with grease. There needs to be a nationwide education program for this
Nationwide education program along with refusing plastics in the first place. Recycling plastic puts more plastic into our enviornment, not less.
Is it easier...cost effective to recycle plastics?
I keep pulling Triangle-7 out of the recycle....but they must be recycled ...somewhere. Huh...Actually... Bernie, or whoever...let's look into this.
Berry’s Antics! Agreed. And I’d go further and say that there needs to be a worldwide education program. I think a lot of people mean well, but don’t know all of the recycling rules. It’s a shame how much recycling waste gets rejected for being contaminated often just through lack of understanding.
Yes and there also needs to be education on composting.
I bet you do a whole lot to help this issue. Oh wait
There's a reason why Reduce is the first word when we are taught the 3Rs. Recycling has always been a last option for me.
Yeah...ca has ab 1080 which passed the assembly and sb 54 that require that all single use plastic be fully recyclable or compostable by 2030 I believe
Thanks for the video. Good sense of humor and great contents.

Hey Trevor , that was such an important lesson you gave us here.I am a big fan.
Love and peace from India
This is the chance for the US to create new jobs! In recycling!
And let's go zero waste!!!! 👏👏👏👏 (On the way myself 🙂😘)
I don’t think anyone in a western country will dedicate themselves to get a job in recycling

You know Latinos don't have that problem. We keep everything even the butter bucket to be used later as Tupperware 🤣🤣🤣
Same here in the Philippines. Especially Ice cream containers. Fill it some food during fiesta and give away to friends and families as 'Bring homes'.
Then again, Latinos and Filipinos had more similarities, running even deeper than Vicks vaporub! lmao
Well there are a lot of folks complaining about a lack of jobs...
Indeed, let put these people into good use.
I was thinking about what an opportunity this is to create a sustainable industry that helps everyone. Technology s/be up to making the sorting process more efficient...
it's not an issue of labor, it's just not cost effective. US workers are too expensive because they need a relatively high wage to live in the US
penguinmaster16 then we need to lower the cost of living by providing affordable housing and universal healthcare
They have a sorting facility where I live because recycling is accepted as mixed when you drop it off. I looked into the jobs and it's $9 an hour in a warehouse with no central heat or air. People who complain about jobs probably won't take these, it's mostly the imigrants population that does this.
Man the US is losing major respect. Other countries are starting to treat us accordingly lol
In my opinion, we need to be knocked down a peg. We haven't been the best country in the world in decades.
@@sea_triscuit7980 nah you were the best at least till 2006

@Rob Murdock The war in Syria and Iraq which the US started led to waves of refugees to Europe, Germany accepted one million and are integrating them into local life. The US has not helped any country in 20 years, unless it was to relieve some of them of their oil.

It's almost the end of September, and I'm still laughing at this.
When other countries take US waste, they call it recycling like it is so easy. When they do it themselves, they say recycling is almost impossible...

Trevor, this is not only for, but for all people who have a platform especially comedians. We thank you for bring things to our attention, but you could you also bring us solutions to these problems. Comedians have an intuitiveness most of us don't. You make us laugh, you make us think and now you can help us solve problems.
Except his major oversight. China is massively dumping and polluting with their own plastic. This information just tries to make North America looks bad. Not funny.
@@aixamagr2897 North America have to start taking responsibilities for their mess ups. North America is not perfect and never has been. It's our trash so we should clean it up.
@@anthonybrowne3942 Of course théy should. Never claimed they were perfect.
It's not trash it's recyclable material purchased to make new materials. Conflating the two, as Trevor does, is misleading. Bad information and bad jokes.

This isn't about politics though. America has been sending trash to Asia for more than a decade now. It's up to you and everyone else to stop using plastic. Recycling is supposed to be the last option. Reduce, reuse, recycle.
@@rekahegedus3895 It becomes political when you need policies. People themselves are not going to change much if everything is still plastic wrapped in the supermarkets. Demand change and vote the biggest piece of trash out of office!
@@suzanne2 Do yourself a favor, reduce, re-use, recycle, and shut the fuck up. Don't depend on policies.
@@rekahegedus3895 it is political because solving problems through individual action alone doesn't work the way we need it to. The government needs to be one that will pass regulations on companies that produce plastics that are difficult to recycle so they don't do that any more and us residents have an easier time recycling. Judging people who recycle incorrectly doesn't really work, it's better to change the environment so everything works in the optimal way and it's easy for people to do the right things.
