Gotta love the narration obliquely mentioning just how bad and unsafe the working conditions are for the Chinese textile plastic recyclers without directly saying it.
it amazes me how much work is put into counterfit proofing bills, all the while coins have no countermeasures, you could legit get your hands on a euro and then just copy it
My partner and I started recycling everything we could a few months ago. A scary amount accumulates each month and that's just from 2 adults 😔 Poor planet.
@17:27 Parmesan FAIL!: thats NOT Parmigiano, its Grana Padano! An english equivalent would be to make a video about Cheddar cheese at a Cheshire cheese factory.
@Eyjafjallajökull The funny part of the situation is that the British and every other English speaking country uses their own version that is nowhere close to what the original is. Before you even try, no, being English/British does not make their version the correct or original. You would be suprised how much the French have affected the Englishman's grammar. I could go on if you wish.
I like how they gloss over the poor safety conditions in the Chinese factory. They're like "whoopsies, don't bumps your head or fall in the boiling caustic liquid."
@James Hughes Can u show link us some studies or research into this micro fiber oceanic pollution you're talking about ? Searched it on the web but couldn't find any valid sources supporting your claim.
ShipMonster Well, not much now, since China stopped accepting foreign recyclables. If the rest of Asia follows suit (which seems likely), we will be forced to recycle our waste at home, which IMHO is what we should have been doing all along. (I’m currently living in Switzerland, a country that is a huge exception, in that it recycles about 90% of its PET domestically. The rest of the west, including the rest of Europe as well as my home country of USA, let its plastic recycling infrastructure wither.) To pick up on your point about carbon, glass recycling is an interesting one. The raw materials for glass are so cheap that the only savings in recycling it are in energy, since melting down glass uses about half as much energy as melting the raw ingredients. But it’s heavy, so transporting it long distances for recycling makes no sense. So recycle it locally, right? Weeellll... thanks to consumption patterns, the colors of glass produced in a country aren’t the same ones as the glass disposed. For example, England imports tons of green glass full of wine, but needs mostly brown glass domestically, since they make mostly beer. The upshot is that glass recycling actually doesn’t make sense a lot of the time. But landfilling it is dumb, too. So we’d actually be smartest to start using crushed glass much more often as a substitute for sand and gravel, for example as aggregate in concrete and asphalt.
What the... Are you telling me that clothes were made from PLASTIC?!!?!???? WUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT My whole life has been a lie!!!! I've been living under a rock!!!!
@@michaelop757 Which is nice, but it still sounds depressing, sitting there an entire shift, going home knowing that tomorrow will be identical to yesterday and today....
"HOW IT WORKS | Euro coins" - well, you give the coins to the vendor and the vendor exchanges them for goods or services. Tends to be most effective in European Union countries.
Squishy The Vampire Raw, unprocessed cotton is. (Like if you light a cotton ball on fire.) Cotton fabric , not so much. There’s a reason heavy cotton fabric is used for protective clothing. Look at jeans, for example. And on top of it, any fabric can be treated with flame retardants. (It’s required for kids clothing, though IMHO it should be for everyone’s.)
"It may be rubbish to us, but to the Chinese textile industry, this plastic waste is a valuable commodity." Heh, not so much anymore. Also, turns out plastic's recyclability was always questionable, at best, and that plastic producers had to cajole and propagandize people into thinking it was fine.
I'd hate a job sorting the colored plastic from the white plastic. Heck, I'd hate a job doing anything they are doing in the polyester thread segment. Unless the job was like, 4 hrs. a day.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view!" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?
Protected Designation of Origin producers: "It's tradition! You can't make this anywhere else! This food is only special because it has a long and storied and very exclusive history of being made here!" also Protected Designation of Origin producers: *uses the most modern mass-production techniques and tools possible that everyone else uses, to maximize production*
I would love the cheese and spread it out on my pizza it's a little salty oh I love it so much cause I put a 1/4 ,of a inch on my paste and my pizza hmmmm and hmmmm it's hmmmm thankyou for making such a wonderful cheese
How Parmesan is made.... Shows Grana Padano making... Not......... The..... Same..... Thing. Coming next. How Stilton is made showing Cheddar being made. ETA: I prefer Padano.
