@draxgoodall3685 Or you could just not throw your old flip flops in the ocean and buy a quality product that comes in a million more shapes, colors and styles and lasts longer and feels better lol. The western world has proper waste management and throws its garbage in landfills. This is an issue for some Asian and African countries. Completely irrelevant for the West. Why should we even be funding research and product development for them if they don't care themselves is the question we should be asking. What really brings change is international pressure on reducing exports of such products or manufacturing matierals to these countries and on their governments to change policy. It's like the old adage teach a man to fish don't feed him. That's where I'm coming from anyways.

@draxgoodall3685 your lack of reading comprehension is showing. you made such inferences given the structure of your comment. what I said was completely in context. also no your comment is absurd landfills are the most ecologically friendly option. no this is obviously useless for the west.

@owo4470 Irrelevant to the conversation. The point is the West has waste management and our garbage is not dumped into the ocean but landfills making the point about plastics for the West a moot conversation for all intents and purposes.

@owo4470 You would think so at face value. And for places with limited space like island nations for their landfills and so on that makes sense. But there was a interesting TED talk about this and apparently all the trash in the world over all of human modern history is only the size of one mountain or a portion of one. It was very fascinating how the speaker put it into perspective. Their aim was talking about how chemical pollution is more the issue. Maybe you can find it with a few terms in search.

@JunkBondTrader Plastic is not a world problem it's a problem of underdeveloped countries without proper waste management. Especially ones that throw their garbage in the ocean. Otherwise it just goes in landfills like everything else. This isn't a hard concept to grasp. You would have a point if you referenced something that is widely used that does not go in landfills like the little plastic beads that used to be in soaps. But thankfully those were banned. That clearly is not 99% of the issue or focus whenever plastic is brought up as an issue. It's plastics in oceans. Everywhere else it's only an issue of people littering. It's absurd to cry about the nature of plastic in that issue it's irresponsible people. And the impact of that is extremely small compared to all the other environmental issues out there, it's not even worth mentioning or having a campaign to educate people to throw their trash away. It's such a minor issue.
1
@grabhishek31 Only because of underdeveloped countries not having proper waste management infrastructure. Plastic is not an issue for the West and many other parts of the world. It goes in landfills with everything else.

@grabhishek31 There comes the victim complex and minority fragility. Facts over feelings Gaurav, you have nothing to dispute what I said. It's objective reality. How you chose to respond to me was quite the pathetic display little man.

lmao "climb trees bare foot" uhhh no they don't have to do any of that they can wear gear to climb if they want. "omg spinning blades to process coconut" what a joke what about every craftsman woodworker ever...

@orborb2644 Maybe don't be ignorant of how your waste is processed? How is it not a good thing? Your argument is completely arbitrary.
1
@whatthesigmaW You haven't the vaguest clue what you are talking about. There is virtually no impact on anything but the sandy ocean floor where almost nothing lives which has virtually zero impact environmentally beyond that sea floor. The sea floors role environmentally is being part of the carbon cycle which takes eons. Sediment falls and gets cycled under the tectonic plates and incorporated into the earth. This is how many of the metals we mine on land come from. You sound ridiculous. This is a revolutionary concept and a great resource the world needs and should be fully exploited. Modern society needs to run and this will help it run cheaply with virtually no harmful environmental impact and will in scale make these metals cheap.

@mievaselli7910 Indeed it is but at the cost of your hair. If you don't care about your hair why even have it at that point just shave it off.

They have lots of room in Asia and Africa to farm their flip flops. The West doesn't need them because we actually put our garbage in landfills not the ocean and rivers.

@sandy_carpetsthesecond5013 no they are sealed tombs, you are confused

@miyounova Refer to my previous comments and look up Western waste management practices in Western countries. You clearly are highly misinformed if you think for a second I'm ignorant on the subject.

They will likely keep the Chinese Tesla market one step behind in technology so it is always beneficial to keep Tesla in China because the newest innovation from Tesla will always come faster from Tesla for the Chinese market than if they were to try shut Tesla down and try to steal and copy. Elon is not stupid. He is using China just as much if not more as China is using him. China knows it and doesn't care given the massive benefit Tesla's technology will bring straight from the source. The boring company and space X and other technology is likely also what they are after. Tesla can test their innovations quickly and bring to market fast for additional testing fast in China with their low regulations. Both of them know it and the benefits from that.

@gooserk6222 I said more than one thing fool. then I pointed out how your question was vague because you specified nothing. then you say "I was asking what you meant." no shit lol but that's a pointless non-distinction and reply. stay in school kid lol
1
@reyvelmarcello466 Irrelevant. This is a English website and this is a English video, English comment section, and this is a simple English conversation. I am chill just blown away by peoples lack of basic reading comprehension. Also I never addressed you, know your place. And last of all it was not an English issue it was a communication issue, like I responded immediately they were vague. If you understood basic English you would have understood that and not have made a fool of yourself commenting to me.
1
@gooserk6222 That's fine but you need to make a coherent statement otherwise you make no sense like I pointed out twice already. Right away I said you were vague in your question which was never a English problem.

@leoanthonybiaco1940 I don't believe you since you couldn't even articulate what you doubt.

@akshitjain2984 You sound like a complete moron. Landfills are the best option. It's either landfills, burn the garbage, or dump it in the ocean. I never said landfills had no negatives I said they are the most ecologically friendly which they are. So once again another idiot with piss poor reading comprehension commenting to me. Also no in the West landfills in all countries as far as I know require liners to prevent runnoff and pollution beyond the site. Then they are covered. Everything in the landfill is essentially mummified. You comment and it's context as a reply is just absurd on so many levels.

@pikameme3322 explain
1
@leoanthonybiaco1940 Nope. That is a non-issue. Correct, landfills don't contribute to a global waste problem in the context of ocean pollution which is the discussion. Nor very much pollution to the local area far less global pollution as a whole. No we are dealing with almost completely ocean pollution as a global issue from consumer waste. Not land pollution from consumer waste aside from the cost of processing a few specific waste products such as batteries and components of computer waste which is another tangent. Industrial waste is an issue from all sources but is not the conversation.

@XxLadyxGaladrielxX The vendors have to pay for the retail space. They don't want to pay for extra space that gives them little or no profit for clearance plants, nor monopolize their current space that could have fresh nice looking full price plants. It also tarnishes the reputation of the brand in a sense.

It's not a lot of manual labor to compost the banana. You throw it in a wood chipper and you put the mulch in a compost pile. Cut the bs lol. Also another easy option is turning it into biochar which increases crop health, yield, soil fertility, and water holding capacity. While also vastly decreasing the carbon footprint into the negative. Biochar can also be sold for profit, and be bought by locals to greatly improve soil fertility for their personal gardens to improve food security for the population on a personal basis which is huge. I thought this up in a matter of two seconds. I'm not even an expert in this field, come on this is pathetic all around. Oh ya and biochar is low tech and essentially free to do.
1
@kiyoponnn It's called biochar idiot. How can you be so utterly ignorant despite the term already being spoonfed to you and having access to the internet? Mind boggling. Biochar is produced at a completely different temperature than charcoal giving it a different structure for horticultural use. Making it does emit greenhouse gas dumdum but it sequesters over a dozen fold that amount of carbon which would have decomposed and been released through normal biological process regardless making a massive net reduction at scale if we are talking about using agricultural waste. You know like the majority of left over plant material that just sits on the field and rots releasing all that stored carbon. That alone could single handedly address the carbon issue while drastically improving soil fertility dumdum.
1
This is good news for Asia and Africa since their garbage goes into the ocean and rivers. But this is irrelevant for the West, we have proper waste management and our plastic and other waste goes into landfills so this is completely irrelevant for us and takes away freedom of choice.

This is totally propaganda and fiction. Las Vegas has had it's population double in the last decade yet its' water usage has been cut 30-50%. Secondly they purposefully lied and showed the lake mead reservoir from 2022 at it's lowest from like two decades of low rainfall. Well in a matter of one year it's now basically back at capacity. Same with reservoirs in California. So there is no foreseeable water issue and top that with the massive reduced water usage of the population this is all total lies in this documentary.

@girl-fromthemoon What do you mean insult? It was an objective statement. She looks like a dumdum that practices witchcraft and the occult. As is common with how backwards people in Australia and New Zealand are. Yes it is an insult too. Anyone that dances skyclad aka naked in the middle of the night and thinks they can control the supernatural has a few screws loose.

That isn't true. It's 2020 we have chemicals that literally reset the skin to a young state like with apocynin and many other discoveries.
