Hearted Youtube comments on PBS Terra (@pbsterra) channel.

  1. Just real quick: The "recycled food" is a little better than it sounds. "Repurposed food" is more accurate. It's like this: Say there is 40 pounds of pork chops that never went out to the service line. It is properly chilled by food service standards, and then the next day utilized to make pork green chili. The "leftover" food is just an excess from a previous meal that is utilized in an appropriate way! Anything potentially dangerous would be wasted without a hesitation. In a place like this, we don't want to waste perfectly safe food since it is such a difficult process to get it down here in the first place! The more you know! Good episode guys. It was nice to host you.

  2. I'm so glad PBS is making these videos to inform the public. I hope they cover how industries send microplastic contaminated wastewater to local wastewater treatment plants that are not designed to filter it, allowing for microplastics to go back into the environment and passing the financial responsibility to fix it onto the public.

  3. This information should be taught in all US schools. Thank you for researching and airing it.

  4. this feels like something you could only find in high pay documentary subscription services, I'm so glad you're making it so accesible!! thank you!

  7. One of the best explainer videos for this issue. I worked as an engineer with plastics for more than 20 years and we avoided recycled plastics because they are so inferior. The motto Reduce, Reuse, Recycle is in descending order meaning we should focus on reducing first and then reusing and use recycling only as a last option because there re so many issues with it. This video shows this wonderfully!

  8. Thanks for having me on this great video! If we can fix Atlanta's streets, we can fix any street. :D

  9. As a currently breastfeeding mother, my mind was blown a bit by the growth rate of those seals. That's amazing! 😯

  10. Get this woman another series. This video was full of good and easy to understand content.

  11. This is exactly the type of show I look for from PBS Terra. How ancient Earth/Terran processes impact our past, present & futures. Thank you!

  12. 2:39 Jay : So it'll go from about the size of a second grader to an NfL football playet in 30 days Adult seal : Yeah...

  13. Another reason to love geology. It is not just the past ❤

  14. We could watch those baby seals for hours!

  15. I knew these pythons were having a seriously negative effect on Florida wildlife, but I didn't realize how big the impact was!

  16. I really like Shane's style. He's a really great communicator. Thanks for another great episode!

  17. Dr. Margaret Collins is my Grandmother. I am thankful to see Her story continue to inspire and enlighten the world. You are truly missed. I pray you are looking down on Us from Heaven. May Peace and Love be upon You and the whole World 🙏🏽🫶🏽

  18. Congrats on an awesome first episode! Excited to see more

  19. I always wanted an answer for this question, because even here in Egypt winters has become harsher, especially the last 5 winters. We've even had snow for the first time in a lifetime in New Cairo, a few miles east of the capital.

  20. Okay but the part where he says "Thank you Mama" for the meal 🥹 The dogs were cool, the polar bear was majestic, but something about shared meals get me every time 😭😭🤧

  21. What gorgeous camera work!

  22. Wouldn't have seen this without Physics Girl

  23. As a Singaporean, I'm happy you've covered this

  24. As a scientist, this was fascinating and raises many questions. It is worthy of a longer series to explain in further detail.

  25. I appreciate you guys focusing on Oregon! It seems like so many of these “big one” videos have a tendency to focus on places like Seattle and Tacoma, but never the Oregon coast
    355
  26. As an Ecuadorian i want to thank you for bringing attention to this beautiful country and its biodiversity.
    353
  27. Yes, it speaks to the power of who humans are as a species and brings into sharp relief the RESPONSIBILITY that we must also accept and fullfill.

  28. Fantastic video. You might have also mentioned the reason why the male elephants are not born tuskless. The tuskless gene is X linked dominant and it happens to be lethal in males. When a tuskless female is pregnant with male offspring which has inherited the tuskless allele, the result is a miscarriage, and that is why there are no male tuskless elephants (edit: this applies to African elephants but not Asian elephants). Thank you for the video. I hope that the elephants will be well protected in the coming years so that their populations can recover.

  29. Thank you for this excellent work, PBS. You are a boon to humanity. This subject is vitally important to understand.

  30. I have visited the Tall Grass Prairie Preserve in spring about 12 years ago for a class field trip. It was a blustery day where a tornado touched down not far from us. The place is amazing. If traveling through Oklahoma, try to visit this magical place.

  31. Firewatch got me sad but amazed.

  32. This looks SO great. Can't wait to follow Caitlin and Arlo across the ice. :-)

  33. I love learning about these kinds of connections. "It's the same band over and over again." That's when the video went from interesting to fascinating for me. We know that old geology affects the modern world, but this was a particularly striking example.
    257
  34. Thanks for the collab!! Really Beautiful episode. From up high, they remind us of tadpoles!

  35. I think the worst haboob I've been in was the one here in AZ back in 2008. We used to get them almost every year but they've died down in terms of numbers. It's hard to tell on camera, but when you're in the thick of it, it's a pretty dark red color...and if you're on the road and in a car, you're pulled over, clenching your cheeks, waiting for someone to hit you.

  36. This is an influential supporting comment for the algorithm including keywords like, interesting, entertaining, educational, nice, great, awesome, more, share, and captivating. Thanks for the upload. -Jake

  37. Thank you PBS for making shows like this possible. Great episode. But I feel devastated. Great presentation Shane.

  38. I can’t believe they made an entire Firewatch IRL

  39. Hey Joe! Joe sent me :)

  40. Fantastic first episode! Hats off to Joe and the whole PBS team. 💙🌄🚁

  41. The story of Gorongosa's tuskless elephants is a testament to the resilience of nature and the profound influence of human activity on the natural world. By unraveling the genetic mysteries behind tusklessness, scientists have shed light on the rapid evolution that took place within this unique population. As we contemplate the legacy of our species, it is crucial to recognize our ability to both shape and protect the incredible biodiversity that surrounds us.

  42. So the answer to the question posed is no. My home state of Arizona is in the middle of its wettest summer ever, yet we are still experiencing large dust storms, caused primarily by poor land use practices and over-development. Human stupidity and greed will, sadly, never end.

  43. I like Jonathan's statement "not sure own is the right word." Cats are like weird college roommates. Some choose to move in. Others accept they live where they do but barely care. All of them set up idiosyncratic habits. How warm they are to you can vary widely.

  44. I'm hooked on this series. Very interesting and well done. Plus I love Caitlin's hair.

  45. Kinda off topic, but it's inspiring to see all these women in science. Really great!

  46. These are incredible people. Thanks for letting us see a little bit of your lives.

  47. We <3 Caitlin and Arlo!

  48. Terra x City Beautiful collab was unexpected but so well deserved. Hoping to see more collabs w/ other niche Youtubers in the future!

  49. Maiya, I love how you present the information not just in this video but all the other weathered videos. You explain the topics in a way that makes it really easy to learn something.

  50. Something similar to the need for fire on the grasslands that I'd heard of (from Nova) is the need for fire in places like the sierra Nevada mountains. As some trees like the amazing Giant Sequoia (sequoiadendron giganteum) are actually fire resistant, & need the heat from fires to release their seeds, & as mentioned in this episode clear away other plants. As far as I am aware, this species of tree only grows in a few groves, & in recent years the spread has slowed greatly in part to fire prevention. Just thought that might be interesting. It's also been nice to see controlled burning (& fire in general) being mentioned on Terra recently. Thank you guys for the good work!
