What do they do with all that bleached ink they take out of the paper? Why does it take more energy to recycle?
Recycling is bullsh*t. Brainwashing like this is the only reason people continue to do it. And I love the 'holier than thou' attitude people radiate when they see people who see recycling for what it really is; A waste and a damage to the environment.
@BrothaBill There's actual money in recycling aluminum. There is no money in recycling paper or plastic...
If there ever is; Then you will see street people picking up paper and plastic. But we don't see that because paper is a renewable resource and plastic is cheap to make.
@Mikeanglo Look at the next bottle you drink dumbass. It says 5 cents. Thousands of homeless people feed themselves by cashing in plastic bottles and aluminum cans.
That's Great! Now tell us about all of the energy used, and environmentally unsafe pollutants that are discharged into the air we breath as a result of this "recycling". I believe you will find that the result of recycling is MORE unhealthy for the environment ( due to the pollutants and use of fossil fuels it requires) than not recycling.

No one will buy it so there's no point in sorting it out with the quantities municipalities receive of it. Metals on the other hand, are always saleable - so it's always sorted out. Hardly a reason to not recycle.

@RyanTh3Lion Unfortunately, there is always manufacturing waste involved in any manufacturing process- even recycling. And then cities don't make money by participating in recycling programs largely because the consumer market doesn't support buying recycling products. And then it's a joke for companies to say they use biogradeable packaging because we still dump trash in the trash where it sits in a landfill for decades to come. BUT having said all that, I still believe in recycling!
you know, if they hadn't lit that pit on fire it would have started killing people in the surrounding villages. they figured it would burn out eventually, but apparently it contains way WAY more natural gas than anyone ever thought. atleast they now have a cool pit of death.
6.5 million tons of litter enter the world's oceans each year. An estimated 50 percent of that litter is plastic that will drift for hundreds of years before it degrades. Besides polluting the earth, humans are depleting its natural resources at an alarming rate. The earth needs one year and five months to regenerate what humans consume in a year. If population and consumption trends continue, we will need the equivalent of two earths by 2035.
Keeps landfills from growing, not necessarily reducing them. And products are reused. In terms of cost, why doesn't everyone look at wasteful spending in Congress or high gas prices as being an unnecassary cost. Recycling does have a purpose. And I am not an environmentalist either.
Maarrttt had it right. The main reason I avidly recycle is that it reduces landfill sizes. Just alone getting an item out of landfill and keeping it in the loop keeps the landfills from growing. They had been running out of space in some areas which helped to spark the idea of recycling. Landfills can seep into the ground and enter ground water. This can effect us as humans, not just the environment.
The thing is, recycling is an ethical opinion and choice. I personally do not believe recycling can help the environment, if the process of re-smelting the aluminum and the bleaching of paper with harmful chemicals, goes into the atmosphere anyway. It costs the US 20 billion just to recycle. You expect me to believe in Global Warming too? Where is the proof for that? Also think about it, if we cut down trees, more tress will be planted. And landfills can collect energy from deteriorating trash.
@Coshka77 Some falsehoods cleared up: the thing with recycling is that instead of accumulating 10 tons of aluminium you reuse say 1 ton. This makes a profound difference in waste management. (Incidentally, it is cheaper to recycle aluminium than to drill for ore, smelt, process. This is not true for plastics.)
There are tens of thousands of peer-reviewed studies providing proof for global warming. So I suggest going to your local university and asking for them if you want proof.
@Coshka77 Moreover, there are a lot of gradations in tree cutting. The biggest problem is rain forests getting chopped to provide monoculture plantations. This reduces the capacity of controlling floods, precipition and filtration. It also takes away natural habitat from native species, which may cause unforeseen shifts in the web of life, and affect humans in a very real way (insect plagues, for instance). Plus some plants that may go extinct could've contained a cure for cancer.

And Im glad people are more worried about money and costs rather than the future of our children and the planet they may or may not live on. Who gives two shits how much it costs to recycle.... it gives more opportunities for jobs as well as new ways to make revenue for our country.

I am exeptionally glad that people thing that certain people think the way they do... Especially since i have family that owns landfill... And the part that people constantly overlook is that.... People throw away hundreds of thousands of tons of non-biodegradable crap every year... and thank goodness too... As over 50% of it is made from non-renuable resouces this means that eventually we wlll run out... Wich is Insanely awesome for my family as we own a landfill...
aluminum is really the only efficiently mass recycled material. It saves money to recycle aluminum, so why shouldn't we do it? On the other hand, paper recycling is inefficient and filthy. And stupid. There's NO REASON WHATSOEVER to do it.
That's the truth. Recycling is a manufacturing process that actually consumes more energy than it conserves -- it also does a fine job of causing pollution.
Paper doesn't need to be recycled, actually. It doesn't save trees. Trees are a renewable resource, and without the use of paper, there would be no need to plant trees. If you want to help the Earth, use more paper.
Interesting fact: There are twice as many trees on the planet now, than there were in the 1920's.
Could you provide a better retort to my points, rather than just blatantly claiming that I am lying?
The US paper market is harvested from a specific type of tree, which is farmed. It's renewable and in no way damages the ecosystem -- that doesn't go for all resources of course.
Recycling paper requires machine power which consumes energy and creates pollution. The dying process of paper pulp alone creates a lot of sludge waste.
Recycling plastic does consume electricity but the environmental inpact of this is much less than simply burning it.
CO2 emission has more than sextupled since sixty years ago. You think a doubling of trees can handle that? We'd probably need a forest the size of Africa to sustain levels of CO2.
Well, for one thing, we don't typically burn plastic, we store it in landfills with the rest of the trash.
And when we do burn it (you're going to love this), it's usually when we decide to melt it down into serum again and recycle it.
And there is a lot of conflicting evidence again CO2 levels in the air (as they are now) being any threat to the environment. We don't know for sure, yet.
However, if it were a problem, guess what the #1 contributor of CO2 is: human respiration.
"I doubt the earth is large enough to hold all the plastic trash we make in landfills,"
That statement makes absolutely no logical sense at all. Do you mean to say that there is more stuff already on the earth than can be stored on the earth?
No. I mean to say plastic will not decay much in landfills, so the number of landfills over the earth would accumulate over time, and seeing as both plastic consumption and population grows steadily, there would come a shortage of space.
There will never be a shortage of space. Plastic does not just appear out of nothing - materials like oil are necessary to produce it and those will run out before we ever even get close to the point where there is no space to put it.
I retract my statement 'the earth does not have enough room'. What I meant to say was: your urban area does not have enough space. I guess it'd be arguably cheaper to recycle plastic than to ship it off to the place the oil came from.
But the real killer is that landfills are in need of being maintained for years and years to avoid dangerous leakage, which makes it an inefficient solution to the waste problem.
@Antepenult This is true. It's estimated that the US would only need 400 square miles or so to hold all the trash we'll ever make for a century. Recycling metals is very cost effective, but in most cases plastics and paper is a waste of energy and money, adding another manufacturing process to pollute the air more and make inferior products instead of using virgin materials. Trees are not nonrenewable. They are farmed and plastics can be made from crops too.
The rise in CO2 levels the last 100 years follows an exact match to the increase of global warming. Could be coincidence, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Furthermore, it is not a conflicted view that high levels of gases produced by burning are harmful to human health. A recent study I read about in the Scientific American found that living in a city even shaves off IQ points.
I don't understand how the topic went from recycling to something as up-in-the-air as carbon emissions.
And, for the record, there are more people on this Earth than cars. A lot more.
Recycling is a manufacturing process and doesn't work, it's as simple as that. If it truly was as effective as we're meant to believe, it wouldn't cost us Billions each year.
And as far as us trashing up the planet. It would take 1,000 years for us to fill a 200 mile radius dump.
About 1/10 of the number of people, there are automobiles.
I knew you were going to say this -- but it's empty retoric. I don't want abolition of CO2 altogether (that would mean plants, and therefore humans will die), just a fierce reduction of it. Killing off humans and letting robots drive cars would be an option, though be it a bit lunatic.
I am wondering whether you are making up your numbers. Would it take 1.000 years for all worldly trash to fill up a dump? Do you really believe that?
@Shaman145 To say that recycling doesn't work is sort of a negative useless thing to say. The process of reducing, reusing and then recycling is a very good process for citizens of our consumer society. Recycling is not an excuse to just produce numerous amounts of plastic containers but its definitely not good to say it "doesn't work."
@recycleurscraps If recycling was as beneficial as people let on, we'd be payed for doing it. It doesn't save money; it doesn't save trees (as a matter of fact, it has the exact opposite effect); it doesn't save energy. Let me repeat that, it DOESN'T save energy. It's merely a feel-good thing that people do to cope with the guilt of not having a hybrid. And there's plenty of this echo-guilt to go around, because why? Because there's plenty of money to go around.
@Shaman145 Recycling does save energy. Energy does not equal money. Drilling for ore, smelting and processing uses up more energy than collecting, melting and processing. This is true for aluminium.
Plastics are generally so incredibly cheap to produce that it is indeed cheaper to just make new plastics. But that does leave you with an increasing pile of plastic waste that takes thousands of years to decompose or release dioxins or other toxins into the air when burned.
@recycleurscraps Let me tell you something: I live in San Francisco, where they've recently implimented a law that says you HAVE to recycle. They will actually fine you if you don't recycle. Simply enough, they are charging you money, for not wasting your money. This movement is purely business, as well as pure bullshit.
Listen... if you want to feel good AND recycle, then recycle aluminum cans. The metal has 100% carbon transfer and is 100% recyclable, no wasted product. Go for it!
Simply put, recycling is a more costly process and conservative one. American tax payers lose roughly $1 billion every year on recycling. Simply put, it's a business. One that will always see income, thanks to tax payers' money.
HOWEVER, if you do want to recycle, for the better, then recycle tin and aluminum. Both metals can be melted into their raw form without the loss of carbon. Both are 99% renewable, and therefore are a very cost-effective materials for recycling.
What is wrong with you people? You can clearly see video showing recycling, recovery, and manufacturing using the recovered materials and yet you still make ignorant comments? Just because your double digit IQs allows you to strike a few keys on a computer doesn't mean you need to demonstrate to all of us your complete lack of common sense and reasoned thought process.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Recycling is fucking bullshit and is not necessary. Earth will find a way find a to regulate itself. An environmental equilibrium, if you will. Like Jessica Williamson said, "Ain't science grand?"
Freedom of speech is different from freedom of stupidity and ignorance. Get it straight.
Secondly, you have no right to go on a video and blatantly say that recycling is "bullshit". I don't care if you DON'T recycle - just don't make a fool outta yourself like that ever again.
We pay a deposit up front and the companies that process these rcycleable products/commodities get them for free, making a huge profit that rarely declared for tax purposes. WE pay higher taxes and they reap the profits.
The point of the deposit is so that you can go return your recyclables to get your money back. It as if there was not tax to begin with. If you aren't returning your recyclables then it is not their fault you are losing money.
Also, the purpose of recycling is so that we can refrain from taking more from the earth. Who cares if they are getting the materials for free? We are trying to make a difference. They still have to pay the extra costs of melting the materials in order to reuse it again.

ok, this woman just speaks WAYYY too fast. the headache I got listening to her reminded me of that aggravated feeling one gets the day after a coke binge. however, the video was quite hilarious and i enjoyed watching it over all.
The dude is right.... and he isn't. It DOES get dumped when it's to contaminated with... well dirtyness.
Recycling paper is one of the worst investments your green wallet can do. Did you know that non recycled paper is made from forests that are actually planted to become paper? Without the need for those trees there would be less forests... not more.
It's good BUT PICK AN ACCENT! the last video i watch was british and then american then australian like seriously? what is with her? but i still like her just PCIK AND ACCENT!
Recycling is only efficient if it is done 100% locally. When you start trucking it all over the place, the efficiency goes down, way down. I'm all for green tech, but only if it's logical.
that was really a great video. On recycling: I know the custodians regularly put the recycling material in the trash more than half the time because people put in the wrong stuff then the workers would need to sort it (which is not a part of their schedule) and they would get in trouble if they just put it all in the recycle been. I bet this type of thing happens in many dif. ways. I am still skeptical of the system. I used to live in MI and they pay you for recycling. I trust that.
aluminum has only one spelling and it has only one PROPER pronunciation. the way she says it (al-u-min-e-um) IS the right way to say it. americans changed it because people couldnt pronounce it properly. it eventually became an acceptable way to say it (al-um-in-um)
actually you have it backwards. It is spelled Aluminum. It was altered in the UK to fit within the spelling and pronunciation conventions of elements like lithium and chromium. The original spelling is Aluminum.
I got a comment about it being due to latin, it's not, the latin root is alumina. Humprehy Davy named it Aluminum in 1812. It was changed due to an objection in a journal to it not complying with chemicals like sodium and potassium, though platinum already existed so....
Anyway, both are acceptable spellings and often both appear on the periodic table.
It was originally Aluminum I think, but then everyone was like "Let's just make it Aluminium so it has the "ium" ending like all the other elements." but then in like the 30s america decided to call it "Aluminum" again
Recycling aluminium is definitely a great idea. It's much more efficient to recycle it than to mine more bauxite. Sadly, you really can't say the same for much else. So yes, feel good about recycling your soda can. The rest? Ah ... well ... not so much.
Fuck the Earth.

i found out ever since they made the CFLs that they hurt the enviorment to make and to break the bulb it self and the toxic material thats inside can be harmful to your health then why in the fucken world that the government is forcing us to use these toxic bulbs around children who will break them and it can ruin our inviorment

I am exeptionally glad that people thing that certain people think the way they do... Especially since i have family that owns landfill... And the part that people constantly overlook is that.... People throw away hundreds of thousands of tons of non-biodegradable crap every year... and thank goodness too... As over 50% of it is made from non-renuable resouces this means that eventually we wlll run out... Wich is Insanely awesome for my family as we own a landfill...
CHEERS THANKS A-Lot (!_!)

aluminum is really the only efficiently mass recycled material. It saves money to recycle aluminum, so why shouldn't we do it? On the other hand, paper recycling is inefficient and filthy. And stupid. There's NO REASON WHATSOEVER to do it.
DemilichFan 2 years ago
That's the truth. Recycling is a manufacturing process that actually consumes more energy than it conserves -- it also does a fine job of causing pollution.
Paper doesn't need to be recycled, actually. It doesn't save trees. Trees are a renewable resource, and without the use of paper, there would be no need to plant trees. If you want to help the Earth, use more paper.
Interesting fact: There are twice as many trees on the planet now, than there were in the 1920's.

Could you provide a better retort to my points, rather than just blatantly claiming that I am lying?
The US paper market is harvested from a specific type of tree, which is farmed. It's renewable and in no way damages the ecosystem -- that doesn't go for all resources of course.
Recycling paper requires machine power which consumes energy and creates pollution. The dying process of paper pulp alone creates a lot of sludge waste.
Shaman145 2 years ago
Recycling plastic does consume electricity but the environmental inpact of this is much less than simply burning it.
CO2 emission has more than sextupled since sixty years ago. You think a doubling of trees can handle that? We'd probably need a forest the size of Africa to sustain levels of CO2.
Maarttttt 2 years ago
Well, for one thing, we don't typically burn plastic, we store it in landfills with the rest of the trash.
And when we do burn it (you're going to love this), it's usually when we decide to melt it down into serum again and recycle it.
And there is a lot of conflicting evidence again CO2 levels in the air (as they are now) being any threat to the environment. We don't know for sure, yet.
However, if it were a problem, guess what the #1 contributor of CO2 is: human respiration.
Shaman145 2 years ago
I doubt the earth is large enough to hold all the plastic trash we make in landfills, plastic decaying over a period of 1.000 years and all.
Burning and melting for recycling are two different things. A lot of the time trash is being burnt in power plant, which I was referring to.
A human will breathe out, on average 0.592 grams of CO per minute
The Toyota Prius breathes out 92 grams per kilometer.
So what again?

"I doubt the earth is large enough to hold all the plastic trash we make in landfills,"
That statement makes absolutely no logical sense at all. Do you mean to say that there is more stuff already on the earth than can be stored on the earth?
Antepenult 2 years ago
No. I mean to say plastic will not decay much in landfills, so the number of landfills over the earth would accumulate over time, and seeing as both plastic consumption and population grows steadily, there would come a shortage of space.
Maarttttt 2 years ago
There will never be a shortage of space. Plastic does not just appear out of nothing - materials like oil are necessary to produce it and those will run out before we ever even get close to the point where there is no space to put it.
Antepenult 2 years ago
I retract my statement 'the earth does not have enough room'. What I meant to say was: your urban area does not have enough space. I guess it'd be arguably cheaper to recycle plastic than to ship it off to the place the oil came from.
But the real killer is that landfills are in need of being maintained for years and years to avoid dangerous leakage, which makes it an inefficient solution to the waste problem.
And recycling reduces our dependance on oil.
Maarttttt 1 year ago
@Antepenult This is true. It's estimated that the US would only need 400 square miles or so to hold all the trash we'll ever make for a century. Recycling metals is very cost effective, but in most cases plastics and paper is a waste of energy and money, adding another manufacturing process to pollute the air more and make inferior products instead of using virgin materials. Trees are not nonrenewable. They are farmed and plastics can be made from crops too.
TheEpisteme 1 year ago
The rise in CO2 levels the last 100 years follows an exact match to the increase of global warming. Could be coincidence, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Furthermore, it is not a conflicted view that high levels of gases produced by burning are harmful to human health. A recent study I read about in the Scientific American found that living in a city even shaves off IQ points.
Maarttttt 2 years ago
I don't understand how the topic went from recycling to something as up-in-the-air as carbon emissions.
And, for the record, there are more people on this Earth than cars. A lot more.
Recycling is a manufacturing process and doesn't work, it's as simple as that. If it truly was as effective as we're meant to believe, it wouldn't cost us Billions each year.
And as far as us trashing up the planet. It would take 1,000 years for us to fill a 200 mile radius dump.
So... we'll be fine. Trust me.
Shaman145 2 years ago 2
About 1/10 of the number of people, there are automobiles.
I knew you were going to say this -- but it's empty retoric. I don't want abolition of CO2 altogether (that would mean plants, and therefore humans will die), just a fierce reduction of it. Killing off humans and letting robots drive cars would be an option, though be it a bit lunatic.
I am wondering whether you are making up your numbers. Would it take 1.000 years for all worldly trash to fill up a dump? Do you really believe that?
Maarttttt 2 years ago
@Shaman145 To say that recycling doesn't work is sort of a negative useless thing to say. The process of reducing, reusing and then recycling is a very good process for citizens of our consumer society. Recycling is not an excuse to just produce numerous amounts of plastic containers but its definitely not good to say it "doesn't work."
recycleurscraps 1 year ago
@recycleurscraps If recycling was as beneficial as people let on, we'd be payed for doing it. It doesn't save money; it doesn't save trees (as a matter of fact, it has the exact opposite effect); it doesn't save energy. Let me repeat that, it DOESN'T save energy. It's merely a feel-good thing that people do to cope with the guilt of not having a hybrid. And there's plenty of this echo-guilt to go around, because why? Because there's plenty of money to go around.
Shaman145 1 year ago
@Shaman145 Recycling does save energy. Energy does not equal money. Drilling for ore, smelting and processing uses up more energy than collecting, melting and processing. This is true for aluminium.
Plastics are generally so incredibly cheap to produce that it is indeed cheaper to just make new plastics. But that does leave you with an increasing pile of plastic waste that takes thousands of years to decompose or release dioxins or other toxins into the air when burned.
Maarttttt 1 year ago
@recycleurscraps Let me tell you something: I live in San Francisco, where they've recently implimented a law that says you HAVE to recycle. They will actually fine you if you don't recycle. Simply enough, they are charging you money, for not wasting your money. This movement is purely business, as well as pure bullshit.
Listen... if you want to feel good AND recycle, then recycle aluminum cans. The metal has 100% carbon transfer and is 100% recyclable, no wasted product. Go for it!

Simply put, recycling is a more costly process and conservative one. American tax payers lose roughly $1 billion every year on recycling. Simply put, it's a business. One that will always see income, thanks to tax payers' money.
HOWEVER, if you do want to recycle, for the better, then recycle tin and aluminum. Both metals can be melted into their raw form without the loss of carbon. Both are 99% renewable, and therefore are a very cost-effective materials for recycling.

We pay a deposit up front and the companies that process these rcycleable products/commodities get them for free, making a huge profit that rarely declared for tax purposes. WE pay higher taxes and they reap the profits.
gaiagale 2 years ago
The point of the deposit is so that you can go return your recyclables to get your money back. It as if there was not tax to begin with. If you aren't returning your recyclables then it is not their fault you are losing money.
Also, the purpose of recycling is so that we can refrain from taking more from the earth. Who cares if they are getting the materials for free? We are trying to make a difference. They still have to pay the extra costs of melting the materials in order to reuse it again.

that was really a great video. On recycling: I know the custodians regularly put the recycling material in the trash more than half the time because people put in the wrong stuff then the workers would need to sort it (which is not a part of their schedule) and they would get in trouble if they just put it all in the recycle been. I bet this type of thing happens in many dif. ways. I am still skeptical of the system. I used to live in MI and they pay you for recycling. I trust that.

aluminum has only one spelling and it has only one PROPER pronunciation. the way she says it (al-u-min-e-um) IS the right way to say it. americans changed it because people couldnt pronounce it properly. it eventually became an acceptable way to say it (al-um-in-um)

actually you have it backwards. It is spelled Aluminum. It was altered in the UK to fit within the spelling and pronunciation conventions of elements like lithium and chromium. The original spelling is Aluminum.

I got a comment about it being due to latin, it's not, the latin root is alumina. Humprehy Davy named it Aluminum in 1812. It was changed due to an objection in a journal to it not complying with chemicals like sodium and potassium, though platinum already existed so....
Anyway, both are acceptable spellings and often both appear on the periodic table.
