The Secret Life Of Paper

[galaxywalker3000]

i live with an idiot housemate that throws everything recyclable into the garbage bin when the recycle pile box that we put inside the house is just a few steps away. although there are tremendous efforts put in place where recycling cause hassle to individuals at all, we as a society still have a lot of educating to do.

[asianchinadoll]

I heard elephant poop was used to make paper also.

[blackchidori97]

4:52,a good example of reusing :)

[wolfgal888]

This is a beautiful message. This is what motivated me to do middle school and highschool online. I hate the sight of trees being cut.....

[MaraCDR15]

Paper=Homework= No trees=no air! Think schools think!!!

[vireak209]

More trees = More Oxygen :D

I Love Air!!

[salsadude1]

Hemp can also be recycled up to 8 times. I do not understand why hemp has not been legalized.

[danm966]

I'll buy recycled notebooks and use a sponge for spilliages :D!

[guardianforce1]

theres a weekend why america wont legalize pot....they wont be able to tax it because lots of people will start growing it for them selves...

[Mischiefx26]

@guardianforce1 I assume you meant reason?

[guardianforce1]

@Mischiefx26 yes thank you for that :)

[Mischiefx26]

@guardianforce1 you're welcome :D and I agree with you

[guardianforce1]

@Mischiefx26 ehh suffer from minor dyslexia so its alright :D

[ShutterPhotograpghy]

[oishiininja]

I wouldbe up to It

[lifetecerazer]

starting at 4:39 english with german accent.

(:

I like your short films

[Bidmartinlo]

If you burn the tree, you won't get it back. Only the heat you will get. If you ask me thats not worth it. And actually if you burn every three; eventually the dirt land it self might become a desert! Let's hope there are a lot of ashes left in the powerplants!

[MCwackyJ]

hemp grows every year (unlike trees that take several). it is grown like corn and produces as much fiber as trees per acre. It requires no pesticides. paper made from hemp doesn't turn yellow when aged either. Legalize the farming of hemp!

[Lionhearted77]

@ Sk8erboi0700

Yes, Global Warming is a load of B*((#@&%. But cursing and poor English isnt going to help all the people getting brainwashed. If your not going to take the time to explain why global warming is fucking bullshit and why people are being deceived by it, than you simply adding to the fire.

People dont know better so their more than fucking sure to give up their freedoms and follow the government and follow the idiots that have been decieved and its fucking retarded. IDK wtf to do

[Gearsandwar2]

Paper gives me wood.

[paintballin11341]

Gosh in the uk we dont use that much paper in 2 weeks D:<

[akumie]

its sad how it is in the worl, when u go to a shop u always see enviromental things cost more..instead they should bann all non enviormental things and it would help alot

[3MinuteCharityPeggy]

Since so much stuff is printed the US should look into recyclable paper, yes the quality isnt as good as regular paper, but it helps cut back.

[brandonvanasten13]

hemp grows every year (unlike trees that take several). it is grown like corn and produces as much fiber as trees per acre. It requires no pesticides. paper made from hemp doesn't turn yellow when aged either. Legalize the farming of hemp in the US!

[deadguy718]

@brandonvanasten13 yeah! but smoking it should still be illegal

[pearcorn]

@brandonvanasten13 That's a good idea. Submit that idea to the local authorities and hopefully it will be accepted!

[cloudberry121]

Is it too deep a concept to plant more trees?

We could get rid of newspapers Use kindle books. . . . .

[Sk8erboi0700]

You know what people this is bullshit fucking liars hey just cuz im cussin and shit dont mean i aint smart.global warming is bullshit to hard to explain though search it up. It is impossible to pollute the earth it is so big and the earth itself recycles all thi bullshit and turns it into Co2 way to big to pollute these guys are just trying to make some money dont get brainwashed like a few of my teachers i proved wrong mail me if u want to know more.

[cocaaaacolaaaa]

we been recycling for how long now... and still we are in deep shit... I think we started too late... and yeah this is really sad that not many viewed this video wow...... they need to get their head out of their arses and see what is more serious out there.... i'm no saint either but I do educate myself with this and do the best I can but it's going to take the whole world to take part of this... peace

[Tasksgirl]

I can't believe that there is anyone that doesn't understand the seriousness of this issue. In the past 100 years look how much this world has changed. Look at the population, the huge increase in technology, in use of gasoline, in use of papers. We are running out of the things that make Earth the ONE planet that is inhabitable. Do you really expect that it will just be "fine" ? It's not just about "save the forest" its about saving the human RACE.. we will be extinct in 50 years.

[FoundationSkater01]

damn tree huggers

thats all we really need trees for, mainly paper

[redwaterlake]

You do realize they produce oxygen right?

[FoundationSkater01]

idc

all we really use trees for, is just paper

[chaserizcool]

and oxygen and for houses

[ShutterPhotograpghy]

@FoundationSkater01 and we use the wood to make wood prod.

[marcosEstrello]

Not to mention trees=forests=habitats=LIFE

[FoundationSkater01]

trees=paper=money=better government=better life qith no worries

[marcosEstrello]

Having fun trolling this video, foundation?

[18s3rg3]

yayyyyyyyy Global Warming Rocks

[blackyblacknblackier]

Yeah another thing where the americans should be proud on -.-

[luckymanemg44]

its a shame this vid has only 1.6 thousands fews if it had 1.6million and half of them did the things the videos says then thinks how much we could be saving our selfs !

[Diamondhound]

Humans can live without paper.

At least do nature a favor...

R-E-C-Y-C-L-E

[GlebGuy]

Yeah it's a good idea to Recycle.

Here's how it goes. The population will rise and so will the recourses, but we will have more people on earth than the recourses we need. So we also have to care about recourses and not just recycling, we have to HELP and MAKE more somehow. I mean it could be possible in some way, right? We can also live next to nature as long as we also have needed tools and technology to make sure we won't catch any diseases and protect ourselves. It is possible.

[theclockmace]

the world would be fine without humans, humans only cause more damage no matter what

[cleardart]

destroy the trees! bomb them, burn them, kill them! kill all plants!!!!! set fire to all forest!!!!!! hahaha!!!!!

just kidding :P

[ruben1278694]

CUT THE TEES DOWN NOW !!!!

[Ken2234]

i love paper!! CUT MORE TREES!!!

[Jeandra92]

Recycling is the best! Where I'm from not everyone cooperates to this. Wich I find very disappointing. People should be more aware of the effects and try to be more efficient with things. Especially paper. You can't buy a new environment and I think people should start realising that.

"Don't be trashy, Recycle!"

[1337jo1337]

recycle that shit!

[paintballingfanatic]

shit that recycle!

[alistair134]

[SupremeChickenx]

the secret life of Plants was an amazing documentary - this video does it justice.

[L0LImAnna]

I wish my parents would get us a recycling bin :/

[spunkkyloveskalyn]

just get an extra trash can and take it down to your locall school-

there bound to have a recycle bin-

every school in my town has onee.

:]

[L0LImAnna]

:O That's a good idea. Thanks!

[jaironzz]

Global warming... is going to make you poor, the world elite are going to force you to pay a carbon tax... ALTHOUGH we are a carbon base life form.... So yes please increase the hyp of global warming you idiots... stop careing about some stupid solar cycle that happnd in the past alrdy.

[MeatAlternatives]

Greenwash at its best. It's amazing how "green" organizations are so selfish to acknowledge the benefits ratio between recycling and not eating animal products.

[fretzombie]

Recycling uses more natural resources than putting it in a land fill. Land fills are required to burn of the methane and most use the methane to power land fill operations. Some if not most use bladders to prevent contamination. Global warming is not caused by green house gases. Global warming is caused by sun spots that produce ultra violet radiation that causes a rise in global climate temp. A rise in Green house gasses is the result of higher temp.

[1yK3Y4]

hell yeah to recycling!

[yorkpig612]

this is pretty cool
