    Almost all my life I've thought that a "Memorial Garden" shouldn't be a place with gravestones because bodies should be turned to soil and spread among flowering plants, with the names of the people inscribed on plaques on the garden walls or monuments. It's nice to hear that this is now possible!

      recycling is a scam, energy wise its unefficent, causes more problems than it solves, and the actually reusable material we gain is a lot less than what we think.
      We really need to mandate the usage of non plastic packaging
      But either way companies will find a loophole or simply lobby against it, then we are back to square one.
      Plastic is economically more viable, easier to shape and form, can withstand more force, etc.
      These are the root causes for why plastic is being used. You undermine all of this, and companies are forced to change.

      Recycling causes more pollution than making a fresh product. It uses a lot of energy to recycle items. This is why relurposing is far better than recycling. On some things, like lithium batteries, only the casing and electronics can be recycled, the contaminated electrolytes and electrodes are too contaminated to be used for anything. It is then disposed of as hazardous waste. A lot of things are like that. The entire item is marked as recyclable. But, only a part of it is able to be recycled.

      ​@@shotya9403No no laws need be passed. Only a termination of production of plastics is what is needed. However, it will not happen simply because it is far cheaper to make a plastic bottle than a glass bottle. Look at the automobile industry. Not too long ago, the idiotic plastic clad look was considered cheap and ugly. But they kept forcing it and now even luxury vehicles are clad in cheap, ugly plastic. It is done to maximise profit. That is all governments and corporations see, profit.

      For those interested, the scriptures state that God is going to "bring to ruin, those ruining the earth". Revelation 11:18--Although He did this back with the flood-showing that the ruining here spoke of is the extreme Violence of man-but it of course, would include pollution and damage to the beautiful Earth, that He created for perfect mankind to live on happily forever. This is in harmony with the scripture at Matthew 5:5, "the Meek will inherit the earth". Revelation 21:1-4 Saying that all the Pain, out crying, and Death, will be no more!!

      The Amish rely on much more industrious and powerful entities to protect their humble culture, but their adoption process of new technologies is a precaution that we must exercise as INDIVIDUALS for services in personal computing or entertainment. They absolutely save themselves a lot of regret with general skepticism. Genetic modification, though: There's just no way we're avoiding a catastrophe in that field. Biological warfare, entire populations of human test subjects, all of these things were practiced, condemned, but still continued in secret. There are simply too many possibilities in revolutionary breakthroughs for scientists to ever cease their genetics work, and governments will endorse or even fund it with hushed tones. But mark my words... it will go horribly wrong eventually, and it can not be blamed on anything but human nature. Remember, the Amish are allowed a symbiotic relationship with their host countries. Realistically, they're outliers in terms of caution against greed and STILL struggle to fight temptation. The planet can mend the results of human greed, but it can not mend the self-inflicted societal woes of humans.

      However due to an underground fire they can’t open the site to air because the fire would get worse, making the nuclear contamination apt to blow east on the prevailing winds.

    When I was about 8 years old I noticed that my grandfathers barrels of tar had green moss growing in them. Not a big deal then but I did give it thought when we were introduced to environmentalism. A weird fact, I left a sink full of dirty dishes and dish soap in the sink and went away for a week or so. When I come home. When I went to let the water out it was a sink full of goop. It was as thick as you won't believe almost like something you would get as a gift as a kid. It was sticky and clear and I instantly thought how good it would be for fighting fires as it sticks to everything and dose not run off like water. How perfect is this, some food on a plate and a few drops of water. Good only knows how much of this stuff could produce in a large vessel. Then again the unions would hate it you would only need a couple men and a truck. Fact! a friend of mine come up with a system where you show up with a half ton truck and stick a hose through a window and crack open the valve and the fire is out, Guess who turned it down. Yup the fire department that is a who's who anywhere i ever lived. !00.000 a year and get cream in a fire truck at 7 in the morning and dairy queen for lunch and again with a half million dollar truck and 5 or 6 firemen. Then on Mondays is their weekly meeting at our watering hole until I said who's driving as they all looked on. I repeated myself in saying the whole fire department is drunk who's even legally sober to even do their job here, they quickly found another watering hole. GRRRR.

    I haven’t finished watching the video yet; I’m writing this comment while watching. At this point, it seems like you’re talking about regular plastic decomposition (which, in the wild, would take over 300 years based on estimates). I’m curious to see what comes next in the video. Because if this is really what I think it is, then it doesn’t fully solve the problem, in my opinion. The fragments still increase the amount of microplastics in the water. So, in the end, the bottle decomposes, but it’s like the plastic is still there. Then fish will eat it, and we’ll end up eating that fish. Although, considering that the concentration of harmful substances in the air is also increasing (thanks to China, and in a way, the U.S., which created this production monster), maybe microplastics in the ocean will become a secondary concern.

    Someone in the future, the GrimDark future, is driving the future of Tesla, an amalgamation of ceramic, plastic, chemicals and alloys. Suddenly, they notice that their steering wheel feels a bit slimy and soft. Within moments, they are furiously tapping on technological marvel that was their interface to the machine but is now merely a hunk of rapidly disolving goop doing a stellar impression of a Hershey bar on the pavement in New Mexico during July.
    They reach over to open the door which was supposed to open on its own but instead of pushing it open they push _through the door_ sprawling in a splorch on the pavement. Around them, hundreds of other vehicles have also come to a collection of undignified halts, some even colliding in accidents that have more in common with a dollop of whipped cream being tossed into a coffee than vehicluar accidents.
    Society is about to become dystopian but without the aliens or zombies or wars. Instead of armageddon, we face starvation as our industrial base dissolves into a biological horror show.
    In the far future there is nothing but splorch.

    It would be interesting to see what kind of creatures will evolve in these plastic biomes. Will there ever be more complex plastic feeders like plastic fishes?
    And Eventually, when humanity has solved the plastic problem, will a plastic biome become a protected ecosystem?
    Of course these are questions only the far future can answer.
