Recycling won't solve our plastic problems | All Hail The Planet 

It kills me that millionaires here on youtube jave 50 milllion views for things like "filling a mansion with packaging peanuts!" But docs that matter like these will sit under 100k views for months or permanently. What even is this world?

I actually thought more adult people wld know roughly what plastic is made of I really didn’t think it was a really hard question,shocking

All hail the planet series truly are worth commendable. Every episode of it is full of information from multidimensional aspects. Great. 👍

Aluminum is not entirely recyclable. Only fresh aluminum has the properties required to produce beverage cans etc. Recycled aluminum has less favorable properties. So, beverage cans have also to be avoided. In general, we must scale down consumption.

As long as governments continue to allow the unabated production of plastics nothing will change.

Great program 💚

How do these videos not have more views?

As a trillionaire that owns 1/2 the world, all I can say is you weren’t supposed to figure this out.

Love this video. Thank you :)

What's really aggravating about this problem is that there was nothing wrong with cellophane and paper. I have to use a knife or scissors to get into anything. I'd rather not have the packaging.

The problem with incineration is not that it is polluting, but that it is usually done in a sloppy fashion that is highly dangerously polluting. If plastic is incinerated with modern technology, it can be relatively harmless. The trouble is that is not how things are done. We are not talking about the latest tech, but 19th century technology that is just not being used.

Some of the images of waste in poorer countries are appalling... the child walking across looks like a river so clogged with waste he can walk across it.

Less people, less petrol needs, less drilling, less plastic usage. Less development, less motor vehicles less pollution, less food need, less deforestation, less need.

Working in a recycling depot can wreck your lungs, its serious how much the dust and vapour can affect you. But the jobs are needed, the solution is to use less plastic, and be strict on what happens at recycling plants, including staff welfare, and where the waste bales are sent to. I worked at a waste centre in the uk, theyd shut us inside a warehouse of mixed trash, because commercial neighbours complained about the smell. It was torture, but the cameradarie was good, especially during covid.

Great work Ali. Keep going!!

In AUSTRALIA. I live in a Van but I have a permaculture garden on a part of a property. I collect washed up seaweed from the beach for mulch. Every time I do that, I have to bring a few, ironically, used plastic bags to collect as much plastic as I see. My problem is that some of the clear plastic is invisible. If all of it was coloured, I wouldn't miss any of it. I don't know if the colour additives have worse chemicals or not but it does make them stand out from everything else. I hate doing it but I feel good about removing it from the waters edge. Imagine how much is in the ocean!

Save the world 🌍🙏🙏🙏

Consumerism is what motivates corporations to have destructive habits.

Our household is low waste household, we strive so much to only buy what we need and reserve what we want for birthdays and Christmas yet we are still struggling to remove plastic from our shopping. Even a head of organic broccoli is wrapped in plastic! This year we are going to try to grow our own fruit and veggies yet I can see that this won't be the main contributor to our plastic waste. So today, I decided we will do a trash reverse audit - we are going to write down in a table prepared for this, what the waste we just threw away came from and then weekly sit down and see what we can buy elsewhere or omit fully to reduce the waste. But if even a blasting broccoli comes wrapped in single use plastic wrap I see it as an uphill battle 😔

Kalki Ecosphere has innovated world's most Efficient Mobile Water Purifiers to help reduce dependency on packaged water bottles and eventually reduce single use plastic pollution generated because of bottled water.

I think what you doing here is so needed. Hopefully it slowly gets us all in the wealthy countries thinking about where this will lead us and to the conversations about shrinking our energy use along with our GDP ( because the link there is in lock step).A conversation about much simpler lives, much much simpler lives . And about how re-direct that energy and GDP to those countries who desperately need it .Those not responsible for this mess and never have or will live the grossly wasteful highlife we , have, lived( past tense). But thanks for trying to begin this journey through information.

Sorry to break it to all of you but it's already too late. Preaching less usage of plastic is hypocrisy because we won't be able to function properly in this modern age if we reduce plastic use. Majority of the stuff we utilize in our daily lives are either made of plastic or have some plastic component in them. The fact that you are here watching this video means you are viewing it on computer or smart devices, which of course are also composed of plastic. Even the Indonesian activist in the video admitted she is wearing clothes possibly made of polyester. Unless you guys are willing to live the Amish Mennonite lifestyle and sacrifice the convenience that modern lifestyle and technological advancement has already offered and currently enjoying/experiencing, then all of this is nothing but lip service. Sure you can say find alternative materials, but that would only divert the attention from petroleum to new natural resources we will exploit from mother earth. We now live in this convenient consumerism age and there is no turning back. Just real talk.

I use cloth bags for shopping and I will put produce directly into the bag instead of using plastic ones. This week my home heating died so I put a small space heater in one room and I now realize that I don't exactly need to keep the entire place heated. Plastic is definitely a scourge.

If someone invent new products to totally replace plastic, he will be one of the richest man in the world.

Excellent documentary! Plastic is okay if the end product can be used forever but if not it should never have been made.

it's funny because the local commercial trash company that picks up my recycling won't take glass, because they say it costs too much to recycle. Plastic is okay, but is useless to recycle.

Also can someone explain to me how u can get medication capsules that melt in your mouth,biodegradable?,is the plastic still toxic thanks

Your politicians have a few priorities: money, power, pride, influence, and job preservation. Therefore, they will always side with big corporations and whatever other social position they need to take to keep their job. If it's the morally right thing to do but will cost them their job, they won't do it. Recycling won't fix the issue with plastics. We have to drastically get away from plastics, especially single use plastics.

Get Rid of your plastics and sustain a healthy pre Plastic past where there were other healthier tools etc… to reuse 🕊🌏😇

I found this very informative but no one is saying what must be done tomorrow to stop it? The immediate answer is to stop the manufacture of plastics. Then the next question is how? Are we lemmings heading for the cliff? Yes.

Banned all type brand which produce plastic e.g Coca-Cola lays and Others

Plastic from petrochemical mean made from OiL

HUMAN OVERPOPULATION

We are dying

Why should use paper

So what is the solution? No point having recycle bins coz it doesn't solve anything.

Even without CC ideology it's clear that plastic consumption/pollution is just not right.

When I get in a bad mood, I buy a bunch of plastic cutlery and throw it in a dumpster😔

I like my FISH 😅

Made documentry

You know I hate when people say they want to go back to returnable glass bottles. I love plastic!!!

My god! What are we doing?! Just STOP with consumerism and STOP making new people! This planet is SICK because of us, modern humans!

JAK

indonesia our country also our allies thailand vietnam was strong because our three countries is the one that funding the I SIS Group because is our brother on religion

And Fukushima Nuclear Water Discharged into the Pacific Ocean ! ☮️☠️☠️🎩

Any material that which requires being melted to convert a solid form to a liquid form is as seems obvious to anyone going to emit smoke, air toxins into the environment. The process of recycling to reuse the materials has to be conducted in a way that is least hazardous to the environment. The accumulation of all such material without further use or an attempt to reuse will result in a vast abundance of the existing material and the production of all that is being produced day to day. Thus it doesn't exactly make sense to say, recycling is not at all helpful to the environment. As such it seems liken to a mountain of plastics and another mountain of plastics, within the mountains of plastics is a facility trying to melt the plastics recycled for use in making, a plastic brush, a plastic chair, a reusable plastic cup, to form if an individual looks at it from a waste perspective they might be inclined to say and see a brush, a chair and a cup on top of the plastic mountains of trash, and then there is the smoke from the recycling process. In review of all such aspects it becomes clear, the plastic shampoo and conditioner bottle made from recycled materials, the brush, cup and chair are good for something. Either human beings need to use and consume less, produce less and find solutions for trash storage that are least harmful to the environment or they need to realize the solutions have to be approached from several angles as the accumulation is and has been for as long as it has. *Save a penny or not save a penny? As the conversation is going on, in how human beings might best try to save the Earth, save the planet, the species. God help us. Lord help the human species.

your program has sponsored by PETRONAS. What dose it mean?

John Bell Edward's should take his mask off

I think pollution caused my MS.

🙏 Friends God controls the weather not man I have videos for you on bible prophecy and the end times. Please go to Papa Joe Fortner or shockwaves of the end times or The watchmen series with papa joe. Thank you and God bless you 🙏

More long-form videos, stop catering to the tiktok crowds.

Plastics aren't a problem. People and their carelessness are, as usual, the problem.

Can't be relaxing in jail - I got so much to do. Imma stop flooding now.
