  1. Where do you live? I’m middle-aged and I’ve only ever heard reduce, reuse, recycle. I’ve never heard it any other way. Perhaps I’m out of touch. I’m Canadian.

  2. In many parts of Canada you can’t get plastic bags at the grocery store, except you can. The produce section is a place where you can grab a new plastic bag for every single individual carat you want to buy. But suddenly if you want one more bag to put all those bags in, you are the devil. It seems like absolutely nobody involved on either side of this wants to be pragmatic.

  3.  @mnoovurvi  you are definitely right about the total amount of trash collected, but if you collect them separately, you have to have more vehicles for it. You also need more management and bureaucracy involved.

  4. Is that what got us into a bunch of this mess in the first place? Plastic was marketed as a way to stop deforestation.

  5. Hello. I’m only on the first part of the video but point number one is not reliable because these companies “admitted“ because they were straight up forced to. The amount of backlash they would face if they publicly denied it would be way more of a headache then they would be willing to accept. If you get the executives down to your house for a couple beers, they would not unanimously agree on climate change. Holy crap, “big climate“ is not a thing? The anti-nuclear crowd is funded 14 fold over the pro nuclear lobby. If you are trying to say that there’s no such thing as any money behind a climate lobby then you are either delusional or a giant liar. Sierra club and organizations like this are worth billions, and they spend billions on lobbying. No sane human being with any integrity could possibly say that that doesn’t exist. Of course these organizations have massive amounts of money. I’m not saying whether they’re right or wrong, I’m saying they exist and there is a tremendous amount of money behind them. OK this He’s getting more and more gross. Point number three is “all scientists agree. But literally no evidence to support that. And you’re saying literally all. Obviously that is incorrect because there are scientists on the other side of this equation. You’re denying that they exist. There are people from Stanford in Harvard and all kinds that disagree but you’re saying they don’t exist. That’s so intellectually dishonest. It’s fine to say you disagree with them but to say they don’t exist is just morally bankrupt. How about one of the actual founders of green peace? He’s famous but you don’t like what he says so you deny exist. This is why people don’t give a damn about climate things too much anymore. We’re sick of the BS hyperbole. You guys don’t actually care about the environment. If you did you’d be caring about overfishing and habitat loss much more than you care about carbon. I’m sick of decades of predictions not coming true yet everybody insisting more and more vehemently that the predictions are correct for the future. And again, it’s totally fine if you disagree but at least be honest about what you’re saying. This video was pathetic. I am agnostic about this whole situation and I was really hoping this would provide me with some good solid evidence because I still haven’t seen it. And after watching this video I realize that i’m no closer to getting to any actual answers because this video didn’t provide anything you can actually look up, except was written on a giant corporations website which they were forced to put there because of their E.S.G. score. They’re literally forced by their major shareholder Blackrock to put that on their website you idiots.

  6. What’s the alternative to single use plastics? What container does your prewashed salad come in? Compressed paper? Now we’re complaining about deforestation. Also, the recycling industry has tons of big trucks that use batteries and fuels etc. the recycling plants too. When all is said and done, if 90% gets thrown out anyway, are we doing more harm than good by recycling? How much petroleum is used to collect, sort, and process all of this petroleum? I bet that as of now it’s actually worse to recycle in literally every way.
