Is it just me or has she based her public speaking style, clothes and hari-do on Mon Mothma (the woman who gives the Death Star attack briefing in Return of the Jedi)?
I'm sure glad the government subsidizes homeless to go through my trash and roam through my neighborhood. Without them propping up that economy what would we do?
And burning landfill gas doesn't help global warming lady- it produces greenhouse gases just like any other gas does.
This lady just comes on the stage with her pretentious Southern belle attitude and spouts crap and expects people to believe it. Anyone who is willing to go around and excuse people for what you they are doing wrong and tell them it is ok will become popular- and most people will fall right for it since that is what they want to believe.
Not wanting to pollute has nothing to do with NIMBY. It's NOOE (Not on our Earth).
Also, this lady doesn't even have her facts right. Incandescent bulbs will NOT be banned. There is simply a minimum efficiency standard for bulbs, which some incandescent bulbs still reach.
And ANYONE who has ever seen an LED bulb knows that they are extremely bright- enough LEDs can hurt your eyes they are so bright. I have LEDs in my house and they are plenty bright.
Recycling closes the loop, drastically reduces waste, and conserves natural resources. Money and a strong economy won't mean anything when we are living on a barren Earth saturated with garbage. Money can't buy things if there's nothing left to buy.
I did watch the whole video haha- and it is all about economics.
She is completely wrong about the landfills. Think about it- the more garbage we use, the more land we must use for landfills- the garbage isn't going anywhere. There is a limited amount of land on this Earth, so if we keep producing more and more garbage.... well I should hope you can put two and two together.
And even if recycling does use more electricity, it's just a matter of making the electricity renewable.
I'm not sure how much you actually know about recycling but we compost. Compost DECREASES in size as it decomposes. Even if we take nothing out of the pile, it eventually goes to almost nothing. The vast amount of our garbage is compostable material. More than half of landfill input is yard waste. All this will decompose. Our compost pile reduce in volume by half in about 3 months even if we never mix it. If we mix it, then it decomposes even faster. Landfill companies use bulldozers.
A lot of what we throw out is not biodegradable: plastics, foams, and most synthetic materials either will never degrade or will take millennia to do so (which is effectively never). This stuff just keeps building up and will NOT compost.
Is there an infinite amount of land on Earth? No. Is there an infinite amount of resources? No. So, what happens when you continue to use up non-renewable resources, and then throw the waste away into a limited land supply? Eventually, the system will fail. It is not sustainable, it is filling the Earth with garbage, and it is using up limited resources.
@maximum411 ... Are you seriously trying to make the argument that because land is a finite amount of space, we would eventually use it all up. I mean, I know you're 18 but can your view of the world be so narrow minded? So in this super hypothetical world of yours 1 million years from now we use the power of recycling to never have to mine a virgin material ever agaiiiiiin. Dear god, please go to college or DO SOMETHING before continuing to make your comments on Youtube.
Also, I'm not going to tell you where I'm going to college, but I can assure you that I am about the farthest thing from "narrow-minded. Why don't you tell me where you went to college, what you studied, and what you have done since then that makes you so qualified to speak on the value of recycling?
And a lot of garbage does not end up in landfills. Google "Pacific garbage patch" if you care to know more about the topic you are talking about. Garbage in landfills leaches toxic chemicals like lead, mercury, and phtalates into the surrounding environment. Many of these chemicals are neurotoxic, carcinogenic, or cause hormonal disruption in humans and wildlife.
She makes a bunch of half-assed excuses about the environment, but it is clear from what she talks about (and the nature of the organization she represents, an economic organization) that what she really cares about is money money money. It should be called the Miser Institute.
People who think profit or economic efficiency has any any effect on the importance of recycling are idiots. Recycling is not meant to be a business enterprise, and while it can be, it is primarily an effort to make sure that this planet remains habitable in the future. There is only so much space on this Earth, and i can only hold so much garbage without problems. We can only convert so many natural resources into products before the resources run out. At some point the process has to stop.
@maximum411 Well, I can't argue with someone who refuses demonstrable facts as well as a bigoted point of view towards economics. So, carry on banging your head against the wall of willful ignorance and bigotry.
Really? I should think you can. Would you mind pointing out one of these "demonstrable facts" I have "refused" and demonstrating it? That shouldn't be so hard if the facts are true.
Is this lady for real? Does she understand the ENERGY it takes to mine something new vs. reclaim it before it hits a landfill? For aluminum, it's more than 25 times. I imagine it's much the same for everything else. And I don't think she did her homework on the profits made by the communities all around who are auto-sorting all recyclables out of municipal waste. When it hits the fan and everyone's mining landfills, they're going to wish they had just done it right the first time.
@hesawhat 25 times more energy?? i would like to see your source on that.... recycling are only profits on short term.. there are no long term profits and it only benefits interest groups.. if you view the economy as a whole, we spend more money into recycling than we get from the 'benefits' of recycling "Recycling...Is Garbage" by John Tierney is a wonderful article from the New York Times...
@cobracarg I remembered reading it somewhere, but couldn't remember where, so I looked it up. Numbers vary of course, but now I'm reading a great book called Natural Capitalism, which states that extracting aluminum from virgin ore is 20 times as energy intensive as recycled aluminum. So, I was close. Still no contest!
If you view the economy as a whole, we waste more money on ruining our home, earth, for things we already have mined to use than it takes to simply reprocess them for use again.

This is all a smoke screen. Intellectually, everyone knows what the real problem is but most people are too scared to confront it. Over population is a political hot potato that no party or religious organisation are willing to take on as it means culling at least 70 % of the worlds population to bring it back to a size that the planet can support. You can just see the Green Party running on a ticket of Genocide.
Recycling allows value-added activity to take place with resources that would otherwise be buried. Both science and economics show that there are plenty of reasons to recycle. It is good for the environment AND the economy. In addition to creating a variety of skilled and unskilled jobs associated with the recycling industry, recycling preserves natural resources, conserves energy, and reduces pollution.
Some things can be recycled in a way that is a net positive (aluminium for example) but most can't. Anything that is will be recycled by the market anyway, whenever government gets into the business of providing recycling it's a net loss, of they wouldn't have needed to get involved in the first place.
That simply not true. I know it goes against the Mises dogma but there are many instances of externalities not incorporated by the private market. Landfilling has negative externalities and recycling has positive ones. Also data show that trash service is cheaper if coordinated by local government and includes recycling. I don't expect Mises devotees to believe that though.
If your arguement (if arguement is too strong-- call it your statement) is that recycling is good for the economy, then I have one question:
Is your recycling business subsidized in any way by local, state or federal government?
If you can turn a profit all on your own, without any government help, then I'll be happy for you, and wish you great success. If not... well... not so much.
You need to study externality theory to grasp the matter. I won't give you an economics lesson here but landfilling is underpriced by the market and the all the benefits of recycling are built into the market price.
When no one wants it, it's waste. When there's a market demand, they become valuable raw resources. The market should determine whether the materials go the the landfill, or if they are collected and recycled in the traditional manner. Or, as was suggested in the video, if it is "mined" from landfill and recycled from there.
That said, I recycle glass, plastic and aluminum because the State of Oregon pays me to do so. I consider that a tax refund, because it was my money to begin with.
@JETZcorp When I first got involved in recycling, in the mid 1980's, there were catalogues that identified markets for the recovered materials.
Then I familiarized myself with several municipal recycling facilities from around the USA and realized some of the failings. They almost all remain unorganized. The municipalities almost always skim money off the top to fill the General Fund short-falls. Prices for recovered material are just like the Wall-Street Stock w/ ups and downs.
Too many LED's have really harsh, white or blue light. I have a CFL that has light almost identical to an incandescent bulb, I never bought one until those styles came down in price.
@Gyrode Most people see in much the same manner. The human eye is much the same as any other filter or lens; the purity of the chemicals, minerals, and other substances we consume that are supposed to keep our eyes healthy will depend upon the quality of our vision and to what light colors please or bother us most.
Sometimes I wonder if much of the "new" technology actually take hazardous waste for use in consumer products. Sort of like the "China lead-toys" etc.
Twenty years ago, I could not get any financing when I could recover nearly 98% and find markets of all of it. I was told "it is too good to be true."
It only take one person with a good mind.
My plans are still about 20 years ahead of technology.
1 of the richest men in Australia, Richard Pratt, made his entire fortune in recycling. It is a profitable market if done properly and government should stay out of it.
The Pratts partly use waste paper with new pulp to make paper, boxes and packaging. But a lot of the waste (recycled) paper is subsidized by taxpayers in its collection. Also industry pays their company a lot to take their waste paper away as getting a landfill going is politically impossible.
The second law of thermodynamics states that there is a fundamental increase in entropy in systems. Entropy is disorder not waste. For example you do not throw away everything in your room just because you have not cleaned it in two months.
Well, waste appears to have been used in a loose definition. Its application to heat engines and the like mean that not just entropy is generated, but more energy was added to the system than was usefully extracted--i.e., waste.
Very interesting video. I had a great conversation with my dad about this topic earlier today.
Is that Thomas E. Woods, Jr. in the front row?
Oh, and there's a very charming gentleman center frame at about 22:36 who is picking his nose and eating his boogers. That's some serious recycling!! (sorry, bad joke.)
Bravo!!!! Wow this surprised me! I will still reduce, reuse, recycle, plant my own veggies, and compost though. I'll keep my old fashioned light bulbs without guilt!
I live in Victoria, BC Canada.......recycling is a religion here. I am a Christian and you wouldn't believe how I am looked at like a heretic for not recycling.
We only get a small can of garbage picked up every 2 weeks. You are FORCED to recycle just by that action. Also, it is illegal to throw recycling in your trash.
Has Victoria built a sewage treatment plant yet? I used to live in Edmonds , WA and we paid a fortune for a level 3 sewage treatment plant....you can drink the water coming out of it.
The story was, "Why should Edmonds pay millions for ST when Victoria just dumps their excrement into the Bay?"
It is in the many parts of the EU. In London, UK, for instance, if you threw an envelope from your place of work into your domestic bin, a snooper employed by the local council has the authority to fine you £100 for such criminal activity.

Well, waste appears to have been used in a loose definition. Its application to heat engines and the like mean that not just entropy is generated, but more energy was added to the system than was usefully extracted--i.e., waste.

Id be more worried about a nuclear powerplant in my backyard than any landfill.

We need to recycle because the enviro-extremists say so.
We need our behavior controlled & have limited use of our possessions & real property.
Many flora & fauna are more important than humans, especially those threatening & dangerous.

paper and plastic suck for recycling, too much energy involved and its not economically viable. Metals however are easily recyclable like aluminum

Very interesting video. I had a great conversation with my dad about this topic earlier today.
Is that Thomas E. Woods, Jr. in the front row?
Oh, and there's a very charming gentleman center frame at about 22:36 who is picking his nose and eating his boogers. That's some serious recycling!! (sorry, bad joke.)

6:21 Penn & Teller made a program about MOBRO4000 - search on YouTube (or eMule/Torrent). It's a great piece of research (and comedy too).

Yeah, what's so wrong with landfills? I mean all of the stuff came from the earth in the first place, what's wrong with putting it back?

Bravo!!!! Wow this surprised me! I will still reduce, reuse, recycle, plant my own veggies, and compost though. I'll keep my old fashioned light bulbs without guilt!

San Francisco is mad! I live 60 miles away from SF, and I have boycotted that city for years.

That city should sink in to the polluted goop that is the pacific.

I live in Victoria, BC Canada.......recycling is a religion here. I am a Christian and you wouldn't believe how I am looked at like a heretic for not recycling.
We only get a small can of garbage picked up every 2 weeks. You are FORCED to recycle just by that action. Also, it is illegal to throw recycling in your trash.

Has Victoria built a sewage treatment plant yet? I used to live in Edmonds , WA and we paid a fortune for a level 3 sewage treatment plant....you can drink the water coming out of it.
The story was, "Why should Edmonds pay millions for ST when Victoria just dumps their excrement into the Bay?"

NOPE! Still dumping our filth right out into the straight of Juan De Fuca.

It is in the many parts of the EU. In London, UK, for instance, if you threw an envelope from your place of work into your domestic bin, a snooper employed by the local council has the authority to fine you £100 for such criminal activity.
