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!
I 've also thought of that. I'd do it if I had the space. Make it a memorial botanical garden. Family members could always purchase benches or chairs to place in the garden with memorial plaques for the deceased.

If governments were serious about this or recycling they would legislate against its use. Put things in paper, cardboard, glass, or tin, as we used to do.
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.

I’m reading a series of books titled MELT. It’s about modifying a Japanese enzyme that eats plastic. Yup, man “modifies” it and it starts eating ALL plastic uncontrollably.
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.
The issue is not neccessarily the cleanup, it's important, but we have to stop the flow of plastic first cause we currently produce more than can be recycled and a lot of it is for frivilous things.
It was very negligent not to mention the organization of the scientific Mexican team who developed a way to treat diapers, just like he did for all others teams.

Not much to say, but interesting enough to keep me watching! Thanks for the video. I agree at least to reduce the amount of plastic we use or produce. On the other hand, with a giant population we have on this planet, I think we need all of it: producing as little as possible, get rid of waste in an environmental friendly way and still keep our way of life...
Nice video but you didn't say one word about what the waste from these bacteria is. If they are eating plastics then do they have plastic in their waste? It not then what are they converting the plastic too? There was also no mention as to if humidity and temperature affects the bacteria and in what way.

I do. Plastics are a scourge - a useful scourge - but a scourge none the less. Sand is abundant to make glass which is also recyclable and requires much less water to produce.
We should kinda stop making as much. Some of the things I buy have 3 layers of cellophane and plastic wrappings. Paper is easier. Maybe use glass and ceramics more, even fungus for packing materials.
I was arrested 17 times in my teens for marijuana something thats legal now , I know they can make plastic illegal and have Gen Zs saying they miss the good old times
Fuel for a boiler that powers a steam turbine, that powers massive generators would be great! A static electricity scrubber is put in series with the incinerator to clean the soot. But, that would cut into the electric utilities' monopolies. It has been done successfully in the past. The incinerators mysteriously disappear in about 3 years.

I can't believe you mentioned my hometown of Corvallis, Oregon.. I thought I was hallucinating.. it's just some random little city in Oregon, it's beyond Rare for someone to mention Corvallis..
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.
Come on people with enough money to fix the problem. Apparently we have enough biochemical materials add devices to recycle all Plastics. Somebody out there has got to have enough money to make the most perfect recycling plant.
this maybe a crazy thought but you should do a video on plastic turning into fuel and im saying this because there is a dude thats doing it rn but i wanna see you do a bigger topic because i love you videos and facts about thinks
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.
Small town I Live. I counted 20 rows of Kroger brand Ranch dressing. I laughed. People demands drinks, and more drinks. Stop putting Drinks in stores. No Drinks, lot less plastic.
And honestly it's not always that people might want to stay anonymous they may have to some people still have other jobs that they may have to sign an NDA for and can't you know show their face on UA-cam or TV or anything I know of another UA-camr who couldn't show his face on UA-cam for for many many years until he left the job he was working at to do UA-cam full time
14:02 - mushrooms just suck in everything, they have no mechanism to deal with waste other than produce fruit bodies which we know as mushrooms. So yeah, they are more like spongies than like oil eaters.
One issue is we control the population of every animal we can except ourselves. If we started that could really help our planet. We should control birth by denying people who cannot be good parents.

*_This does NOT give me warm fuzzies_* 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.
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!
I think it's a great solution though I'm surprised how many people are phobic of the idea.
i wonder if we bury everyone in deserts, would it develop into a biome?
Agreed. Put in the ground - no embalming, no casket - and plant a tree on top of me. Let me give back to what sustained me.
I 've also thought of that. I'd do it if I had the space. Make it a memorial botanical garden. Family members could always purchase benches or chairs to place in the garden with memorial plaques for the deceased.

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.
Subbed 👍🏼
If we have plastic in us will the bacteria eat us!
Most plastic in the ocean isn't cause some one threw it in there, it's from the rivers on land that wash into the ocean.
i like the last consept. and may bye i will go thet way intoe the grond. well at least in the forest, thets for sure. see you next time
Super Mario! Help Us! 😆🤣
I would’ve been first, but I decided to make coffee 😂
Small town I Live.
I counted 20 rows of Kroger brand Ranch dressing. I laughed.
People demands drinks, and more drinks.
Stop putting Drinks in stores. No Drinks, lot less plastic.
Stop drinking the ranch dressing !!!
Re: diapers. Adult briefs offer the same issues. 😔.
Is this really Josh Gates of Expedition Unknown? Any who. I'm getting my coffee.
And honestly it's not always that people might want to stay anonymous they may have to some people still have other jobs that they may have to sign an NDA for and can't you know show their face on UA-cam or TV or anything I know of another UA-camr who couldn't show his face on UA-cam for for many many years until he left the job he was working at to do UA-cam full time
BOW TO YOUR FUNGAL OVERLORDS!!!!!!!!!
“I’m not worthy!”
Evolution at its finest lol But what else is it eating….?
14:02 - mushrooms just suck in everything, they have no mechanism to deal with waste other than produce fruit bodies which we know as mushrooms. So yeah, they are more like spongies than like oil eaters.

Only buy products in biodegradable containers
One issue is we control the population of every animal we can except ourselves. If we started that could really help our planet. We should control birth by denying people who cannot be good parents.
How do you determine who will be a good parent? I am not certain we are the best choice for eugenics management of ourselves.
@@gabriellashimone6546 Financial situation, mental health evaluation. Too many children suffer based on those two alone. I haven't given too much thoughts in a process of evaluation because this will never happen, or at least in my lifetime.

Hey, respect thee anonymous one.
80% of plastic waste could probably be avoided if we simply used paper, cardboard, or glass
What amount the plastic that’s already there
plastic is cheaper, until its not, plastic it is.
if you are not making it law to use those materials, plastic it is.
Some places have demonised paper products. I really do no understand that.
@@indridcold8433because you have to cut down a lot of trees for paper based replacements and they’re just as polluting if not more than plastic
…replaced by paper, cardboard, and glass you mean
Oil is Organic 😿
Soooo ... how beneficial or toxic would be such consumption of these fungi ... and they could eat up the micro-plastics within the human body ??? !!!!
But now we are also mining oceans which can be dangerous
1-) climate change making oceans acidic
2-) ocean mining
3-) pollution
We are trying everything to fuck oceans
WHEN FUNGI OR BACTERIA DIGEST PLASTICS,
WHAT ARE THE METABOLITES?
All I do not understand. Why is it the coffee remains so anonymous it doesn't seem to be on the desk
Hi Steve! Having a good day? Hope so! All your information is very interesting! Thanks for sharing! Still want to know if the hat on your desk says FBI? You have a great day; I'll catch you next time!

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.
WHAT THE FUUUNGUS
@ 03:30 I thought he said a temu researcher; I almost thought, "Yeah, let's trust a researcher that works for temu."
Drives me crazy. We are building more plastic plants, strip mines and toxic lithium mines that will never be reclaimed
We need to worry bout our trash good😢
No we don't. We handle our trash fine. We need to worry what China does with their trash.
How about starting at the supply side? If no packaging is in plastic...
