      New subscriber as of this morning. I discovered your chan by NOT signing into Google today. Love what you're doing and imagined an industrial sized *rock tumbler/polisher* (the kind we had as kids) that could handle boulders and gradually polish them to a degree where they become art forms, like natural rock-shaped marbles that could be used in beer/bier gardens, corporate offices, home gardens, etc. Lights could be used (affiliated partner development) to illuminate these polished glass boulders to provide a stunning effect.

      The government love to scare us and use all kinds of tactics to control us. They pushed the cold war and kept us threatened with a nuclear holocaust all through the 60, 70, 80's. Climate change is another agenda that's been shoved down our throats for the last 30-40 years. First we got told there was holes in the ozone and we're all going to die from skin cancer back in the 90's. Then we were killing the oceans with over fishing and once the Oceans became a desert, we would starve to death. Then the Earth had 12 years left in the naughtie's and we we're only buying from companies that replaced the paper they made by planting trees. Then the ice caps were melting for 10 years and we would lose all our coastal towns. Then the last 20 years, we've been scare mongered with too much carbon and we're constantly told the Earth has 12 years before it dies. But we're still here today, no matter how many times we've been told the Earth has 12 years before it dies. Now the whacky left are pushing their agenda by starting fires during summer, killing millions of animals and destroying homes and villages. In Australia 2 years ago, there was 125 fires started all over the country, causing mass evacuation and mass animal slaughters and it was all blamed on climate change. The recent fires in Rhodes was started by climate destroying left wing nuts. MSM is another tool they use to scare monger the citizens and now the public mostly know that all MSM are activists and not news agencies.

      Everything is biodegradable in the blink of an eye, geologically/environmentally.
      You're the one destroying the planet. encouraging people to burn 3x the crude just to make a completely inert material degrade faster than the less expensive (i.e. less resource intensive) version.
      And in geological timeliness, the difference is nil-the only real difference being the extra money (i.e. energy [i.e.mostly oil and gas]) you are causing to be spent/burned.
      This is the biggest scam in human history. Look man. Just remember that for every dollar spent to make something, 80% goes to burning straight fuel, so just apply that to all this stuff and ask yourself who's the real enemy? Cause it ain't me

We waste milk onto ground, the unbelievably waste in this world excels used products almost. T YThos is offensively stupid. Pat yourselves on spoiled backs! Hooray! Nope, this is offensive in stupidity! Recycling is a gigantic lie, as is green energy and other drivel. At least chemists are changing some things but this is boutique garbage for the few. This industry gave me cancer, bet can’t wait to live in a garbage home full of trash hH and exotic petroleum carcinogenic soup and degassing poisons.

All coffee grounds, woods, fish skins are 100% food for other creatures or biodegradable in the extreme with no input but environment returned to. The outside or water. Earth.

      If you think about it, they take trash and turn it into even more trash. Apart from the fact that what they make will in itself again end up as trash somewhere else at some point, the production process also creates tons of fine chips and dust of the plastic that will end up as trash, small enough to get into the food chain. Also the chemicals they use to process the material create trash. Ultimately, they created more and more polluting trash than they started with. Humans....

      @@WhoAmEye_WhoAreEwe its crazy how history has shown that we have had to completely restart from somewhere that's impossible to imagine for anyone who hasnt had to live off the land, add extreme climate conditions and impossible odds, and somehow we are able to rise from the ashes, (or water depending on what world wide catastrophes occur in which order), and learning that our planet typically does this every few thousand years and hasnt happened going on 11,000 years so to say we are over do for a massive climate crisis is a gross overstatement. this apparently occurs as the poles switch causing the earth to spin significantly slower while the momentum of the speed it was spinning theoretically will move the seas 2 miles high, create earth quakes so sever that the divide and shift contents to completely new climates and areas regarding north south east and west coordinates. the easy way to understand it is if a car was driving incredibly fast and suddenly slowed to 1/10 speed, lets say from 100mph to 10mph. theres a probability that things would come flying from the back seats through the windshield, passengers would be injured from essentially stopping suddenly from 90mph, and this is the way scientist explain the reoccurring pole shifts that occur every few thousand years, and we're approaching 3x that time frame soon. the antarctic would shift to the equator, the north and south poles would be some part of the equatorial countries, and makes complete sense how so much life and oil reserves have been found in places that currently have no possible way of sustaining ecosystems for the fossils discovered. the way the world would react is very similar to the signs in revelations, and its amazing how science is constantly reinforcing biblical prophecy yet the human condition of today makes it difficult to believe in any theology, and religion is often confused by the way man has manipulated it for power, and the reality of its nature is love we can not comprehend the magnitude of, and displayed by the crucifixion of Christ. i hope people are starting to feel a need for a God and savior, because after all these generations of science vs creation, the science is finally starting to reflect the high probability of a world wide series of tsunami, earthquakes, winds that would snap sky scrapers, followed by flash freezing you can see evidence from with woolly mammoth fossils. maps before Ferdinand Mageline's voyage indicate Antarctica being a content positioned along the equator instead of the poles. the ones who would survive would need nothing short of a miracle, or a space station or planet that we can use or colonize until the world has stopped smoldering, floods have settled where theyre likely to be for at least 4,000 more years, and makes sense of things like Atlantis being destroyed, as new york, san fran, and other massive cities would be so demolished and in the sea, hidden under reefs that grow and certainly some of the oddest discovered things in the ocean point to these scientific claims. its fact that the poles switch, and cause world wide extinction of most species. its inevitable at some point and raises questions why the rush to colonize mars, why the sudden spike in anti christian rhetoric and twisting the narrative of a godly and humane way to coexist, with being a bigot or hating people for their sin. weve all fallen short, we all will find out in our own time whats true and what was not. its much easier to believe the universe was created by something, not everything in existence that follows calculated equations so complex, and still endlessly progressing and feel these laws and signs are random circumstances of nothing creating things more advanced than we can explain beyond magic. some people believe Joe Biden is a good president and may be the nominee. if thats not a sign that people dont pay attention to whats starring them in the face and are disconnected from a deeper level of consciousness that seems to reveal its own universal truths when pursued with self discipline and without narrow minded assumptions of whats real and confusing that with whats not seen and understood by most. thnks if you read all this

      What I would like to know is, why don't governments around the world create regulations that put a stop to making goods and packaging good using materials that create this problem in the first place?
      Instead they spend txc dollars marketing the idea that we have a global environmental crisis and telling people we need to be more conscious of the goods we consume, force us to pay for recycling programs which don't work, not to mention what we spend on medical care that results from people being slowly poisoned by toxins dumped into our environment, but they won't tell a manufacturer they can no longer make products or package their products out of these materials in the first place!
      Beverages and water STILL bottled in plastic, fresh meat still packaged with foam trays and plastic wrap, frozen foods still packaged in plastic, every store still using those riduclous paper thin plastic bags that we know just break down into smaller pieces of plastic and become a part of the ecosystem poisoning everything, virtually forever!
      The solution is so simple: use glass; metal; hemp and bamboo paper/cardboard lined with real bees' wax for packaging food- all recyclable, and all safe. We need to go back to natural fibers for our clothing, most of our clothing is plastic. I commend all of these wonderful people making ingenious products out of this toxic garbage, but their products will STILL end up in a landfill one day. Recycling does not address the problem at its root, it does not put a stop to the creation of more landfills to accommodate more toxic trash or the ongoing poisoning of the environment.
      It's because there's too much money behind these manufacturers- our so - called government leaders don't work for the people and they certainly don't care about the environment, but rather, they are in the pockets of these large corporations that truly rule the world. Until human beings refuse to buy these products, nothing will change. Governments legislate everything else - why not legislate these producers and prohibit production that uses these problematic materials? The simple answer is greed.
      We will continue to have our food sprayed with toxins instead of safe, natural pesticides that work because who is going to stand between the production entities and their profits? No politician ever will, they stand to make too much for themselves by doing the bidding of these conglomerates. Pfizer, Bayer, and Monsanto are now one and the same - just who is going to go up against that kind of money and power?
      The consumer is the only answer. It's on each one of us to stop this by using the power of our purchasing dollar- but we must be willing to pay more for our goods, temporarily, until the playing field is leveled and all producers are using safe materials and legally restricted from returning to these cheaper toxic materials in order to pursuade consumers away from their competition with a lower selling price.
      But that won't happen either because if they can save a dollar, consumers will always purchase the plastic or plastic wrapped item. We have been brainwashed by the marketing of these companies telling us that new is better - the newest model of car, the newest techno gadgets, we routinely get rid of perfectly good items just to immediately buy it again it its latest model. We, the consumer are the problem and the solution.

I haven't perfected my recycling dog poop yet it's currently being mixed with an old newspaper at this time it's still just gray in color and too thick and I have been boiling it to take the smell out it will be nice to have supporters for this new idea I invented.

    Amazing isn't it, how many useful items can be made from trash? Once thing's for certain, there's plenty of it out there to work with - especially all those plastic water bottles blowing around in the streets and all those cardboard boxes left over from all those deliveries of food and other items to people's doorsteps. 😊😊

      cardboard is a great compost item, and bottles can be reused -- a lot of people just don't. Pen holders, planters for herbs, feeding scoops for pets and livestock, bird feeders, terrariums, sprinkler systems, drip watering systems, sugar water hummingbird feeders, etc. Next time you have a bottle that's been reused one too many times for your taste just look up how to repurpose it, or you can just fill it with water and stick it spout down in your garden as an automatic watering can.

Even the by-product has the potential when broken down to improve the soil, also giving coastal communities work opportunities were overfishing has destroyed their employment opportunities, like I said amazed, here is hoping that large corporations and governments take note and move more to this thought process.

    I'm really impressed with the glass to sand lady who recognized the problem of burning gas to transport recyclables. This is a problem nobody really talks about; all the environmentally detrimental costs that go into trying to do something helpful for the environment. Those have to be calculated in the net gain from whatever you're doing & need to be recognized so they can hopefully be mitigated.

      Unfortunately the wine industry exploded over twenty years in my country. Miles and miles of pristine bush and forest torn down for a trivial and unhealthy activity. I get eating grapes but stripping the country just for a sip of sour juice is just wanton decadence. And grapevines are voracious water users. Our biggest river is being sucked dry as fruit orchards are still being converted to wine. Fruit tree roots can search for underground water. Grapevine is all drip fed. Then the runoff back into the river full of fertiliser.

      Uhhh... how exactly do you think they transport the bottles to the facility, process the glass, and then move their products anywhere? They showed that they were using commercial electricity produced by fossil fuels, and gas vehicles in the story. The most environmentally friendly use of glass bottles is washing and reusing them how they do in countries such as japan.

      @@MossyMozart How about a bottle deposit law like Michigan and Oregon. The distributors pay a deposit when they sell to retailers and then they recoup that when the bottles are returned. It just makes sense when beverage distributors drop off beverage there is room for these returns in the very same trucks. You could extend these bills all the way to the bottle/can manufacturers so when they drop new bottles off they can pick used bottles up and reuse or melt them back down as they see fit. Seems like an easy solution to me, it eliminates all the transportation costs and incentivizes behavior that seems logical.

    The apple pulp fuel could be a possibility in carbon based fuel for steel. There are so many other factors involved. Maybe alternating between coal and say graphite might lessen the impact on the mines in the area until they figure out a form of carbon needed for making steel. I'm not a scientist and I'm sure there are teams on this. This is very insightful. They can plant more trees and shrubs, protect existing forest, to help offset the carbon dioxide from the plastic?

    I love the video, but since when do beer bottles go to landfills? Here in Ontario, Canada they are all 100% recycled. How? You pay a little extra in the price of your beer and get it back when you bring the bottles back to the beer store. It's a great system. Works really.

      @Mark Johmson - Some states here in the USA have the same model for beer bottles and sometimes other bottles. However, you must collect 20 bottles to get $1US (5 cents per bottle) and most people don't want to go through that effort. So, many people put them in the recycling bin, but it's mandatory in only a few places. Many people toss them in the garbage or even chuck them out the car window. >_< You are a nicer and more alert people than we are.
