how much to produce a plastic bag vs recycle it? the producer one bag should also be taxed the cost of one equal bag recycled and if the latter is higher , the difference.apparently plastic is cheaper to produce than other materials, is it because capitalist thinking encourages individual gain at the expense of all?seems like it some times. lets recycle all the plastic bags into one giant coffin for planet earth, because at this rate thats whats up.i'm as guilty as you and i hate it
Good ! you have to wath the microshortfilm Plastic. A parody about how we use to many plastic bags,It critizes in our attitude and enviromental uncounciouness (search plastic ecodes)
I am so happy to see this video! I was in Kenya in the fall of 2008 and was appalled at the amount of plastic I saw everywhere. I'm glad someone is recycling it and making a living from doing it, and providing others with jobs! =D
Hello I'd like to put this in my blog about the environment. Anyway, my blog is green bohemian living. I am going to put it up on a blog on Plastic Bags.
I promote recycling in the UK. I noticed that you don't have a link in the description of your video and was wondering if you would place a link in there to one of my websites?

He has to be careful not to get his plastic too hot, for the fumes, but he's also employing a lot of kids collecting the stuff, and a lot of people who would otherwise have to wait to buy lumber to build with. Ideas!!! not having $10k hanging about, I am trying to think how to do something like that with a press for wagon beds - please help me connect the dots!
@VolkgartenBySquirrel Damn man, i been thinking I'd like to do something like this, to help people in other countries, and make just enough money to be self sufficient. Don't really know where to start either. We should go in on a machine together!
Jordainio, there are people to help in other countries all over the place here, and if I get careless..! The biggest expense seems to be the hot press, which can be reduced to a roller assembly, and the hydraulics. Suddenly, I smell Harbor Freight...! Connect in about 6 weeks and we'll see what happened!
your great man! i hope your technology would reach many countries to reduce the non-biodegradable plastic bags that sucks our planet. Mabuhay ka! From the Philippines
blame the whiteman for all this polution and garbage in africa with their products. Also blame kenyan for buying this shit and not cleaning up after themselves but even if theydid they would still have white mans polution on their precious soil
Every time degradable products end up in landfill, they give off methane as they decompose....this is about 20 times more powerful than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas
And we collect that gas and use it as energy. A landfill isn't a pile of shit it's basically a green grassy field with pipes coming out of it. once it's finished of course.
Wow! What a great example of recycling. The world should see this as an example of a thoughtful reuse of plastic bags. Plastic bag recycling is happening everywhere.
What a fabulous story! Thanks for sharing. It goes to show that one person really can make a difference for the planet. Imagine a world without plastic debris littering our planet!
Yes. But at the same time, it is also responsible for ruthless exploitation that takes place around the planet. Two sides to it, and occasionally, to the government as well.
Without a powerful government there is no one to bribe, no special tax cuts, no back room deals. Without Government the Companies have no guns to force anything on anyone.
At *most* the government can try to keep any one company from having a monopoly. Beyond that thay have no (moral) right to interefere in the business dealings of their citizens.
Capitalism is Freedom. Even freedom can be abused.
he deserves that car. look at the positve side hes doing something good for the earth whos cares what he spends his money on its his money that he earned himself.
i just think its bad bussiness, i would perfer he bulit more factories till every bag in his country got recycled and he could then buy a jet for all i care, its all about the money, then jobs, then enviornment
like i proved i dont want him as a business partner, my original statement.
the other man who i would have as a business partner will soon drive him out of business or pay a corrupt policeman to end his business. that is Africa that is the way it is. and yes i live a thousand fold beyond my needs, such is life. my bed room is bigger than your house. Not bragging but by your logic he was doing fine without the new car.
What an incredible idea... plastic junk into fences, houses... hell maybe bridges or rafts at some point... Genious idea for developing and modern countries!
Seeing as we (America) can't even seem to change over to the same measurement system as the rest of the world. It is going to extremely hard for everyone to recycle. However, i think that with enough work, and determination. Recycling should be the number one priority for all country's around the world as soon as possible. We need to get in the habit of recycling, and without the governments hep, it will be hard for people to get in routine.
@jtoznel In montreal Canada, 99% of people recycle paper, plastic, metal, and glass.... the city supplies each household with a 5ft recycling bin and a small one about the size of a clothes bin....since the city supplies it, and they make money off of it...they have no problem picking it up for free once or twice a week...it works really well and creates 1000's of jobs....
@danielleefarmer I've read statistics that show recycling facilities create about 10 times more jobs than do landfills. Although the recycle process can be mundane, it certainly can't be worse than a landfill...
Yeah! It doesn't really cost the city much in the long term, as the materials are often sold back to manufactures for creating new containers and such. If only it would be implemented on federal level.
@jtoznel and When I went to florida for college...it was pretty sad, they had a recycling system but you had to go to the supermarket to buy blue plastic bags to put your material in...and even then it wasn't well organized
@danielleefarmer It's possible to make it organized... but only with a facility's help. Houses would have to register with a pick-up company, and a route would be made for pick up once or twice a week. If it be required, then it's a matter of distributing the containers and enforcing it. It's not hard... people just have to do it!
@TrySomeMusic Sadly not... you would think it would be. Trash/recycle programs are based on a state and local level. Some states require recycling (California, for instance), and other states base it solely on local resources. If a city decides to build a recycle facility, then it will be utilized. Often, though, recycle programs are based on "drop off" facilities, which only recycle certain things. Rumors have it that what is put there is just dropped off at the landfill. It's really depressing
@jtoznel That's ridiculous. I live in Canada, where it's done everywhere, and I thought it was done the same everywhere else. You'd think that would be a concern for a country such as America.
True that he creates employment and local start-ups are needed. BUT I was born and raised in Kenya and I have never seen anybody who is born with HIV and who is malnourshed, except on TV just like you. Saying that almost all Kenyans are born with HIV and are malnousrished is simply not true. Many children are born with HIV and some areas suffer from famine when it doesnt rain but it is far from being "almost all of them"...
Why make fencing poles when they could make their own 50% trash bins and 50% plastic-bag bins, so that people could throw their plastic bags in them and they could just take the bins of bags over to the factory instead picking up all the bags by hand...then they'd keep the trash of the streets AND make money from recycling plastic bags.
jobs for the youth and poor & making kenya a little bit cleaner. so creative! im really impressed. i wished the big media would pay africa more attention
There is no cash incentive to collect plastic bags here in the US like there is for soda cans.
In my neighborhood, poor people gather up every soda can they can find to redeem the 5 cents each. If they can get even 1cent per plastic bag, the streets would be clear of those too.
The hot plastic fumes coming off that new pole must be pretty fragrant. Good thing the Kenyans have universal health care to take care of the factory workers when they get sick from doing their jobs. Otherwise more power to them!
Wow, this is really inspirational. But I was kind of wondering, isn't that producing harmful gasses? But anyway it's still better than just waiting for 1000 years. And I doubt that we have that much time.
Yeah that's the catch-22 with recycling. The transport, processing, and redistribution of renewable materiel is in itself a polluting process. But you weigh the economic/environmental costs and benefits and hope that you are doing more good than bad. Leachate from plastic breakdown is especially harmful and toxic to organic lifeforms (including humans), and as long as the new product is being used, I think the net benefit is there :)
dronexmail, your comment is incomplete. you said, "that's should give people solving the plastic bag problem in the world....." my question is, give the people solving the plastic bag problem in the world what??? what would it give them???
then you said, "but that needs more people to involve." my next question is, more people to involve what???
carylcake, dronexmail may be from hong kong, but hong kong used to be a british territory, therefore there are more people in hong kong that could speak better english that you or i. just because the guy's from hong kong doesn't mean he doesn't know how to speak or type english.
Of this I am aware, being British myself. You know, the two comments you've made here so far are to correct people, rather than to actually talk about the video. What's your opinion on the plastic bag thing? You know, the topic?
Now all you need to start this is 10 000$ to buy a machine and probably 5000$ to cover the expenses until the business catch up. How didnt anybody else think of this.
It's so strange to hear someone saying there allot of plastic to be collected in Africa or being a pour country they have to deal with allot of waste disposal. That's very strange and shows how ignorant I can be. Thanks for the news and keep it up.
Because there is no need for products as so and the streats are not littered by bags. There is 0 demand for those products in Europe or America, way to think bud...
Not worried about bacteria at all, but people prefer their woods, steals and other things as the such. Plus you would have people saying that melting the platic reases gas that cause my favorite myth, global warming.
Actually it has. Check the British Scientific journals of the last ten years. What was disproven was the exaggeration of how severe the effects are. It's true the polar ice caps are deteriorating but at a very, very slow rate. The Earth's temperature is rising but only at about one degree per 100 years. Most don't view this as a serious problem but if you consider the 'mini ice age' (the colder aspects of the dark ages which were about five degrees colder than centuries proceeding it) (con)
(Fin) A slight change does a great deal to the way of human behaviour and environment as well as cultivation. Whatever you were reading chose careful wording to appease you but yes, Global warming is an accepted fact of the world scientific community. I studied theoretical physics a year ago. Its true that Global warming isn't severe as some environmentalists would have you think but still one degree per 100 years gives a long term toll on the over all planet with many negative repercussions.
One of the poles ice caps are melting, the other one's is growing. Mar's temperature has also been going up at a slow rate (no humans there) showing that it is natural. What I mean to saying with "global warming myth" is yes, the exaggeration, but also the fact that us humans are the reason. And it is even less than 1 degree C every 100 years. We are on merely on a cycle, the were worried about an ice age in the 60s and I personally feel, that that is next.
What's wring with you? This man has created a business that supplies useful building material, helps improve environmental health, and gives jobs to hundreds of people, and you attempt to denigrate him (I say attempt because your insult disgraces no one but yourself)? I imagine you've likely accomplished practically nothing in your life, especially compared to this man.

Its an excellent idea to get rid of the plastic! I just have a couple of questions:
1) Does this cause a lot of air pollution?
2) Do the workers develop health issues because of potential toxic fumes?
3) And how strict are the regulations in Kenya?
Some countries might be a lot more anal then other countries when it comes to manufacturing plastic.

There is no cash incentive to collect plastic bags here in the US like there is for soda cans.
In my neighborhood, poor people gather up every soda can they can find to redeem the 5 cents each. If they can get even 1cent per plastic bag, the streets would be clear of those too.

The hot plastic fumes coming off that new pole must be pretty fragrant. Good thing the Kenyans have universal health care to take care of the factory workers when they get sick from doing their jobs. Otherwise more power to them!

Wow, this is really inspirational. But I was kind of wondering, isn't that producing harmful gasses? But anyway it's still better than just waiting for 1000 years. And I doubt that we have that much time.

Yeah that's the catch-22 with recycling. The transport, processing, and redistribution of renewable materiel is in itself a polluting process. But you weigh the economic/environmental costs and benefits and hope that you are doing more good than bad. Leachate from plastic breakdown is especially harmful and toxic to organic lifeforms (including humans), and as long as the new product is being used, I think the net benefit is there :)

dronexmail, your comment is incomplete. you said, "that's should give people solving the plastic bag problem in the world....." my question is, give the people solving the plastic bag problem in the world what??? what would it give them???

carylcake, dronexmail may be from hong kong, but hong kong used to be a british territory, therefore there are more people in hong kong that could speak better english that you or i. just because the guy's from hong kong doesn't mean he doesn't know how to speak or type english.
todd76705 2 years ago
Of this I am aware, being British myself. You know, the two comments you've made here so far are to correct people, rather than to actually talk about the video. What's your opinion on the plastic bag thing? You know, the topic?

TheBratKingJareth 2 years ago
It has not been proven and has been disporoved many times, thanks captain shallow facts on your input though.
oscarry 2 years ago
Actually it has. Check the British Scientific journals of the last ten years. What was disproven was the exaggeration of how severe the effects are. It's true the polar ice caps are deteriorating but at a very, very slow rate. The Earth's temperature is rising but only at about one degree per 100 years. Most don't view this as a serious problem but if you consider the 'mini ice age' (the colder aspects of the dark ages which were about five degrees colder than centuries proceeding it) (con)
TheBratKingJareth 2 years ago
(Fin) A slight change does a great deal to the way of human behaviour and environment as well as cultivation. Whatever you were reading chose careful wording to appease you but yes, Global warming is an accepted fact of the world scientific community. I studied theoretical physics a year ago. Its true that Global warming isn't severe as some environmentalists would have you think but still one degree per 100 years gives a long term toll on the over all planet with many negative repercussions.
TheBratKingJareth 2 years ago
One of the poles ice caps are melting, the other one's is growing. Mar's temperature has also been going up at a slow rate (no humans there) showing that it is natural. What I mean to saying with "global warming myth" is yes, the exaggeration, but also the fact that us humans are the reason. And it is even less than 1 degree C every 100 years. We are on merely on a cycle, the were worried about an ice age in the 60s and I personally feel, that that is next.

What's wring with you? This man has created a business that supplies useful building material, helps improve environmental health, and gives jobs to hundreds of people, and you attempt to denigrate him (I say attempt because your insult disgraces no one but yourself)? I imagine you've likely accomplished practically nothing in your life, especially compared to this man.
