#1 WAY TO STOP WASTE!!!! have the manufacturer companies stop producing waste packaging. Litteraly, will stop the world problem of trash, and will stop the continental garbage island. thanks for spreading what those companies want us to think. Instead of actual truth......

Most impressive is the making of bricks from seaweed and building houses made from them, giving shelters to the people and at the same time bringing smiles to people. This is a resource that is available in abundance and sometimes a nuisance but seems like not anymore.
This Aaron guy..... it's amazing how hypnotized our society has become into believinbg that there is only one way for us to live... in grocery stores with credit cards. Certainly (should) make one think.
Im 20 years old and normaly people my age don't realy mess with educational stuff beauces its simply not fun. But i found this channel like few days ago and honestly its been very educational and entertaining as well. And that means alot from someone who avoids educational videos lol. W channel
youll grow up soon enough
this video could be shared in our schools and job services, allow people to be creative
for waht?? this is trnasform garbage in garbage.. better mix pieces of rubber tires with tar to make the roads or tarmacs.
These are terribly toxic, they just did a study from astroturf causing cancer

Provided they also present the economics and energy consumption of these uneconomic recycling initiatives. Unfortunately, the young and gullible are fooled and ignorant of the truth behind so-called 'green' initiatives that actually consume more energy and create more pollution.
@@user-wv1pj6wh4hnah. The playground and park bricks and mats are actually really nice. Can also use the mats in gyms and garages
Turning recycled tires into bricks is an awesome idea
Yeah, if you're a kindergardener 😑
And there are lots of kindergartners.
We can extract oil from the waste tyre as well
Congratulations Mrs. Runsewe I wish you all the best of luck with your business
The Tire recycle woman is what Africa needs to compete in a world economy. The sources and path of the investment into her vision needs to be promoted because it may help bring other winners like her to the surface.
29:12 It's so important to acknowledge the ecological complexity that differentiates a natural forest vs a tree plantation. Simply replanting doesn't make up for the loss of habitat and biodiversity that our planet relies on.
True but not allowing forestry dept to clear dead and dying or disease tree, brush cause case for forest fire and sick trees that cause deforestation Not allowing for new growths ground fertilization
How about prevention of erosion, isn't that a significant result of tree planting?
And that’s why there is a huge focus on using tree farms for most of the paper and pulp products we need now days. Only about 20% of all paper products come from naturally grown forests, most mills have land around their plant or other farms that they have had growing for decades that they cut down each year. One mill I worked at in Texas used their extra land to grow trees and they would have signs that said when they were planted and some were from the early 90s. So it takes awhile and a lot of work to just get these tree farms working the proper way to produce the right amount of trees they need, and think if it was planted 30 years ago they have to account for where the economy would be at then, which is where the extra 20% comes in cause it’s almost impossible to predict it accurately. But I will say I am very impressed at the way these mills have handled this, because setting these farms up isn’t easy takes a lot of money and a lot of time and yet they have it to where 80% of production is covered by those tree farms. And that’s pretty amazing if you ask me, but I do agree more people should know more about it, but I always try and make sure I tell people that statistic because it truly is amazing that they can do that now days and a lot of people just aren’t aware of the amount that comes from tree farms. And they aren’t using these forests as habitat or anything like that, they aren’t replanting the sides of mountains, they are using land that would otherwise sit empty, like I said a lot of them use the hundreds of acres they normally have around their plant for this that would normally just sit empty, so yea there are people replanting forests but the stuff they use in mills comes from recirculated tree farms, meaning they cut them down and re plant them, they aren’t moving on to new ground every year, they have a set amount of land that they rotate out each year, so what the mills are doing isn’t hurting any habitat or wildlife, and their only other option would be to cut down natural trees, so like I said I’m pretty impressed with the way they have handled the situation cause we can’t live without paper and pulp products and so given the hand they were dealt I think they have done a pretty good job. Especially when they didn’t really have to.
Ok, so what have you done so far to make change. These people have done something. I don't really take words with no action.
@@eleanorrose6122 What exactly do you want me to do, restore an entire ecological system? Start hugging trees to stop them from being cut down? Corporations are the ones who need to be held accountable and policies need to be made to protect ecosystems. Please think before you speak.
I always take the hotel soap with me home when I leave. I use it up completely.
I take it home too. The travel size shampoo is too little for my hair so I buy my own wherever I'm at.
Shower Gel is better because it doesn't leave soap scum in the shower...👍 However, I'm led to believe S.G contains mico plastics? 👎, I'm not sure At least it hasn't broken down into Nano Plastics, yet... 😂
@@mickgatz214micro abrasive exfoliants
I do the same thing!
Me too. My GF makes fun of me for it
Yes, there is a reduction of space to hold waste, however, its also very much possible to recycle the 70-80% of said waste. The main issue is that no one wants to pay the prices to create the facilities, employees, utilities, and drivers to bring and take away. Governments, Corporations, and others dont want to ve stuck with such bills as they love profit and hate spending it on "needless things".
The segment on Gaza was interesting but I wonder if any of those gentle beings are still with us. The inventiveness they showed in recycling was so interesting along with ideas. Hopefully, Gaza will recover along with its people.
1:07 I remember her!! Either from a video you did or another. She has done a great job reusing the old tires!!
Mam, You are doing an outstanding job and should be very proud of yourself. I am in the USA and wish they did something like that here.
This may be the most valuable, informative video on KZhead.... fantastic deep dive into global recycling solutions. Bravo!
Sorry, but its not. You've been fooled, same as many other sheeple. The video fails to present and explain the economics and energy consumption of these uneconomic recycling initiatives. Unfortunately, the majority of people are fooled and ignorant of the truth behind so-called 'green' initiatives that actually consume more energy and create more pollution.
Your channel's content is a ray of sunshine for farmers, brightening their days and guiding them through challenges. Thank you!
48:53, man, i hope this company does well. That's such a great alternative cleaner. 10/10
Arron Fletcher made it to Business Insider!! I have no interest in living the way he does, BUT I am interested in using a lot of his ideas in my way of living!!
I agree that row planting of trees after a lumber company comes through and clear cuts a few acres is not a forest, somewhat. They don't come in and manage it so other things DO grow in those tree farms. Companies need trees that grow fast so that's what they plant. The good news is those trees still sequester carbon so it's not a terrible thing. Continually taking out forest to build housing complexes is a bit worse.
Only 20% of paper products come from natural forests. So most trees cut down for this reason is on land thats recirculated every 30 years or so, and a lot of paper mills use the extra land they have around the mills to do this, and not everyone does this but a lot have crews that maintain these farms, go thru cut down stuff that grows between the trees, they are usually planted in straight rows also, but again this isn’t replacing habitat or for land reclamation, this is on a set amount of land that they use continuously to grow trees on. And given the other options they have I think they have done pretty well.
@@michaeltaylor4271 Bamboo is the best material for making paper products
99% of earthling sapiens don't even deserve their share of the oxygen. they used it up driving, throswing out packaging or simply staying warm. we need 6+ more eath's to kep it up at the 'rat9w' of resource intensive insanity onlinr shitping etc .

I had an idea for a recycleable modular plastic brick years and years ago glad to see someone else also had it and ran with it I knew it was a good idea.
Here in the UK old tires are shredded and mixed with asphalt making low noise roads.
can you tell us more about this way of doing it, please
Asphalt is one of the few fully recyclable products adding rubber to would hurt the recycling process and add extra emissions...
Recycling is not cost effective except for aluminum and perhaps iron and copper.
Here in the Netherlands too.
Don’t worry electric vehicles will help
Nigeria rock and any nations with such recycling, with❤. You are all Futurists❤❤❤
“ My wife is charming, but….disturbingly efficient “ 🤣🤣
Love this type of content! Keep it up Cody!
It's great to see intelligence people putting waste back into use ❤
And consuming more energy and producing more pollution in the process. Don't be fooled.
These videos demonstrate how the free market is the driving force of innovation and progress for humanity. The only role governments should take is to incentivize the process.
Very informative, thank you. Happy to see many female in this story, you are rock.
Love to see innovations surrounding recycling. But omg there were so many still viable shoes going into the grinder which is an awful waste, especially when there are many people with no shoes at all.
One thing is definitely a good idea. How many fishery boats are being idle because the season is over, the quota has been reached or for whatever other reason. let them go and fish for thrash in the ocean. and pay them a decent price for that. so they can make a living, pay off the rates for their boats. and pay for fuel.
Just found your content. Love it bro. Giving us the information and advice on steps to take. Keep them coming, been binge watching, very much needed.
Dude... those little soap bars are awesome 🧼. I stocked up on soaps and mini toiletries for years! Made great stocking stuffers when I had the old-school Disney hotel soap bars and sewing kits 🪡... But those original bars lasted me for 20 years 😂😂😂. Always take some extra with you... I personally enjoy that Gilchrist & Soames when they have that in stock ❤
Thank you for this opportunity to see how people safer every day in Gaza, I pray every single day for them that future for them will be much more better. All world 🌎 should pray for Gaza they struggle everyday how to make money so that they can provide for their families, you are guys in my prayers 🙏
Bravo! A very well done and inspirational video…it demonstrates the importance of ingenuity and creativity in helping solve global problems associated with manufactured waste and repurposing it for a more sustainable and healthy planet!
feel inspired by all these creative industrious innovative dedicated people. THANK YOU
16:00 “Pauline go the idea to recycle soaps while staying at a hotel”…. Yeah my mother did that when she worked at a hotel, collected all the used soap bars and brought them home to use with detergent to wash clothes, it actually helped get the whites whiter. She did this over 15 years or so, so the idea of recycling used soap from hotels isn’t new or anything amazing. My mother didn’t have to use resources to reuse the “used” soap, she just threw it in the washer with dirty clothes 😂
I love the Free Recycling story!
And for people that don’t know, 80% of paper and pulp product comes from tree farms. They have a set amount of trees they cut down each year and then replant and leave to grow for 30yr and then they cut down the next plot next year, and if you ask me they have done a great job at it, because they can cover 80% of paper and pulp production off of trees they planted 30 years ago, which is amazing to me, it takes a lot of work and time to do that also, tree farming like they are doing isn’t as detrimental as people think it is. Like I said they grow stuff just like a farmer would grow food, and because it takes so long for them to grow they aren’t really killing the soil like you do growing food back to back. But based on the other options they have I feel they have done a great job, planning 30yr in advance for inflation and rise in paper usage to where they cover 80% is amazing if you ask me. So yea these mills aren’t going out cutting down natural growth Forrest’s, they are cutting down trees they planted in 1994, and then next year the are cutting down the plot of trees right next to it that were planted in 1995, and they keep reusing the same land like that.
The story about the homeless man from Oregon that was driven out if Ashland isn't alone.. many of us in oregon wish to live off grid but the government and local police are very good at criminalizing everything they don't agree with.
T be a beneficial member of society and pay your way? Get a Job?
I'm in Oregon. Off grid? Yes you can do it on your own land.
That is brilliant the mexicans make building blocks amazing ideas 👏👏👏

Thank you ❤. You are a talented reader. Very relevant for myself.
2 kinds of shrimp come to mind , one snaps its claw so fast it creates a bubble and a type of concussion , and the other one that actually throws a type of punch with a hammer type claw , those are both mind blowingly interesting sorry i forget a lot of the in detail words to describe them i just thought of it when you said to think of instances in nature , love your vids by the way thank you.
Love all these ideas. They give me hope for the future.
This video came on autoplay and I'm inspired and love this, to my surprise! Thank you.
Should be done everywhere!!!
Great documentary about seaweed, supper!..thank you! Mrs.Ragone
What an AMAZING woman she is. WOW that is so impressive!!
Fascinating info, inspiring as well. Thank u

Good job and its all positive very very nice, excellent work kids❤
Those metal wires are good for refining... Good prices if made into GI sheets or metal sheets for metal workings. This factory should have facilities in each City in Nigeria. Franchising it to others would be a good thing so "owners" can work independently and may even be a good business to export to other Cities outside Nigeria.
Amazing Thank you ! 💖👌🙏

@30:55 Can Indian seaweed replace plastic? The three winners are: Sway, an American company offering seaweed-based, home-compostable replacements for regenerative thin-film plastic packaging at scale; Zerocircle, an India-based company making wildlife and ocean-safe packaging materials from locally cultivated seaweed that will dissolve harmlessly in the ocean after use; Notpla, a London-based start-up inspired by the way nature encapsulates liquids, on a mission to make plastic waste disappear by pioneering natural-membrane packaging that uses seaweed as an alternative to single-use plastic.
this compilation is amazing...
I hope this kind of farmers' cooperative will be copied around the world. More power to you all!
Wow loved every bit of this video. Thanks.
Environmentalism and conservation of animals should betaught in gradeschool in every country.
As a recovering drug addict I think the way to start to fix this problem is starting with long term treatment along with intensive therapy and then job training and help with housing placement. I understand it sounds easy but the biggest hurdle is the persons willingness to actually get sober

Turning old and discarded tires is an awesome idea
I like to think that young lady for starting a business to recycle tires to help the waste in this world. We have to start somewhere everybody. We all need tonight as one and stop all the waste. This is one world we all have to live in and share everyone needs to start recycling and stop buying stuff that does not Buy degrade when it’s on or is not recyclable we as society can stand together in unite to force these corporations to change if we stop buying their crap and start petitions and start boycotting and everything we can make changes so quickly, if we would unite as one, but the world is so divided right now it’s a shame that we are killing humanity, and killing this planetquicker than anyone realizes happy holidays everyone remember to recycle
Keep the good news coming!
That seaweed plastic is super smart and eco friendly ya it's more expensive to make them plastic bags but so are they other reusable alternatives that aren't much better I think it's worth the increase in manufacturing costs plus they aren't gonna find cheaper ways toake it unless they start making it on mass so they have the funding and more minds to figure out a cheaper way to make it I'm sure making plastic wasn't as cheap to make when they first started making it it most likely got cheaper as demand for it grew and more company's invested in finding cheaper ways to make it
I was just catching up with some videos from this architech that has made it his business to develop earthship homes with the use of old tires. And I was a bit surprised when he candidly spoke about battleling stage 4 cancer for the past 5 years and I immidiately thought about all those tires he has dealt with for the past 30 odd years. I don't know if recycling and reusing bricks made of old tires in Parks were our children play will cause harm but I can not wait to see where humanity is 20 years down the line.😢😢😢
This was some good content on some people actually doing some good work. I'll buy some of those jeans. I appreciate the money spent to make something worth buying.
I find it hilarious there are English subtitles for the British.

Amazing people with such great ideas! 😁
River cleanup must be done at least once a month by the public under the government supervision.. Teach it in school.,Radio, TV, social Media.etc..
Awesome! ♻️
wood, wood fibers pottery and glass are our best friend when it comes to battling plastics. The best way to prevent them from getting into the environment is to not produce them in the first place.
Love the caravan park, built by the government.. that would heal the biggest world problem for homeless...
We need to increase the cost of commercial waste… if more companies were incentivized to find recycling alternatives rather than wasting, way more of these solutions could be implemented, and then consumer waste slotted in where it makes sense. Like with the ocean cleanup - catching it in bulk at the source is way more efficient. But if it’s cheap or free to just throw things away then companies are encouraged to just do that.
Good job man, you inspire me to hit more
The problem with replanting trees is they usually plant non-native monocultures
I bought bags of threaded car tires from Home Depot I think there was no wire in it I put plastic sheeting on the ground then put the sredded pieces on the plastic sheeting to keep grass from growing through , so far it does a good job ,no weeds

I make tepache with the pineapple skin, similar to how he is making the pineapple disinfectant,but with piloncillo instead of sugar and cinnamon sticks and cloves its the best,its Mexican kombucha
Easy solution to all the soap bars wasted in a one time use in hotels, all they need to do is install automatic shampoo/ soap dispensers in the shower / bathroom, because even using pump or squirt bottles of soap you still would have a ton of plastic bottle waste adding to the already problem !!!
I literally have not thrown a bar of soap away in 10 yrs... I just squeeze it into the next new one. 😊
Very interesting
