What happens to our 2.2 billion tons of trash? 

A fast biodegradable replacement for plastic is the best way to tackle this problem

Efforts should be taken to make Recycling trash more commercial and profitable .......governments should support startups which encourages waste management ......people should be made aware of waste management

We should have a store just for refill only like liquid detergent instead of buying a new one bring the container and refill the liquid detergent or any products that is refillable. Restaurants give discounts if customers bring their own containers😀. Just an idea 😀

The solution to our trash problems lies with a global cultural change. We first must start with returning to making things that last for generations, then we must change our consuming habits to consume and desire less, and finally we must return to the mindset of keeping things longer, reusing things in creative ways and being generally less wasteful. The problem does not lie in the disposal of trash, the problem lies in the creation of trash and the disposable mindset that we have.

There's 600,000,000 square miles of ocean on the earth. 600,000 square miles of trash represents 0.1%, and there are 5 of these garbage zones, so 0.5% of the earth's oceans are filled with garbage. That's too much.

Well I think best way is each and every cold drink and plastic container product price rate would increase by 40% and whenever they return empty bottles companies want to get back their 40%. This way majority of people get return empty bottles and container

My 8 year old says “send it to Mars”.

0:22 wait, so WALL-E was real then

Awesome channel with awesome content!!!

one of the few things that hasnt changed much in the past few hundred even thousand years

Don't make non natural thrash 🎉 SO simple. Like how the people done thousands of years before modern "civilization"

Maybe all plastic that are not recycled, could be processed into a building material, furniture, filler,etc. Give government incentives to companies that recycled their own materials. Maybe incentives for companies that use biodegradable materials for packaging and penalties for companies that don't want to participate in global clean up programs . Hopefully this helped..God bless us

We need to educate the people. That’s what we need to do

The effect shall cease to manifest only when the cause is removed. Thus arises the need for shunning ruthless and no-one-cares attitude by the consumer of plastics and be highly vigilant of its usage and avoid it whenever possible. When each individual becomes conscious of the consequences of his actions, the mankind on the globe shall drive in a sustainable manner.

Get "Elon Musk" to build a huge trash space rocket and launch it into a black hole! 🕳️ 😂

Sir, it would be better to provide a pdf for each video❤️

Who’s here bc of school

If incentives in trash management were serious, it wouldn't have been a problem. That's why I wonder what is the economics of turning trash to electricity because if it worked so well, men would be going out of their way to do it everywhere instead of erecting solar farms and all that. What's the economics of trash management? (Does it pay well or not)

STEP 01. PUT ORGANIC AND SEPTIC IN 01 CAN WITHOUT POLIBAG STEP 02. PUT GLASS/PAPER/METAL/RECYCABLE TRASH IN ONE CAN WITHOUT POLYBAG STEP 03. PUT ANTISEPTIC/PLASTIC/UNRECYCABLE TRASH IN 01 CAN 1st one is buried 2nd one is recycled 3rd one is um... 01. Energy plant 02. 100% Recycled with hardwork and research

Waste Plastic Can We Use As Road and house Bricks

Western countries created the plactic and that's a big problem for the environment. All other stuff can be composed and farmers can use it.

Governments of countries should do --> Change of garbage landfills areas by electric producing systems.

Singapore and japan are doing great

Dollar tree junk is one major contributor.

All is to reduce reuse & recycle... Which will balance everything...We humans , animals & Environment..🥰

Ok you showed how the methane is extracted Why I wonder didn't you show how that water seepage is pumped up into huge silos and called black water. Then trucked to water treatment plants where it is treated to become DRINKING WATER

No loy ppls resaicle becuze we dont know if u trow the plastik they taske the water in it to toilet

One river named noyyal in tirupur tamilnadu is spoiled in middle of 1987 to 2007 year because of polluted water pushed into river by some dyeing industries actually i drinked this river basin 💧 directly by digging in hand but now no chance

Should plastic be removed from ocean and it could be used to produce power and then dumped in non human living area

Only a fantasy but what will happen if we nuke em in some closed area making enormous pressure?

Recycle more and burn more to make electricity.

Use undyed off-white cotton or orga ic dyed clothes instead fo using wears not supporting to even waste clothes for multiple users

Simply we avoid all non biodegradable things

Doomsday incoming

Increase the recycle price for plastic and watch the world react.

rule 1 = do not produce garbage

I'm no expert. But what I know is we use to use less trash, even decades ago. Also, we drank from glass bottles. Today it's mostly plastic. Plastic bottles are dangerous as some gets into our cells and organs. Especially if we leave plastic bottles in our hot cars before drinking. Today, there is so much "throw away" everything. While we harp about recycling, we are really a throw away generation. So, I know I'm no expert. But even what I see looks like a giant set up by forces we can not see. Who is pulling the strings? When I was a baby, my mother changed my diapers and washed them. Today, they are all throw away. Nasty subject. Sorry. Anyway, I try to get my drinking water from our well, if I can. I put in glass bottles and take to work. Put in Fridge. In between runs (to the landfill), I drink from them when I return to the yard. In that same refrigerator, it's almost full of plastic bottled water that the others use, and dispose of. lol. Most don't know about this stuff. We came from a time where there was a simpler way of living that generated less trash. Yes there WAS trash. But much less.

send it into space straight for the sun to burn lol jk

Can we dump waste into space ???

ALL 4 OPTIONS ARE A WASTE OF TAXPAYER MONEY. THERE IS A WHOLE AREA THAT THE USA IS NOT USING THAT IS SO MUCH BETTER.

make plastic t-shirts, boats, tumblers, paper straws and plastic tables (comment from grade 5&6 Students)

Tell people to use less trash tell people to use not paper plates play play we can wash tell people to like use electrical tell people to not throw the clothes away donate it and save the Earth 🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍 you can donate toys

Send it to the sun or a gas giant planet

Stop using plastic and start reusing the ones that we already have
