okay well first of all, you guys need to relax with the liberal/governmental aspects of this video. The video was made to educate Americans that weren't very knowledgeable in the field to begin with. I learned quite a few facts (how many pounds of trash a day i excrete, the drawbacks of recycling, ect.) I will use this video clip in a presentation I have tomorrow in my college class and it will go over very well. You guys gotta chill out with calling her a, "liberal idiot?" not necessary.

generating this amount of garbage on a daily basis for the sake of comfort and convenience is nothing short of pure, fucking insanity. that we should allow it to continue even one more day, or even one more hour, represents a level of apathy and complacency that is truly hard to fathom. people need to turn off the god damned t.v., stop shopping and stop stuffing their faces with junk food, and take to the streets to demand change. NOW. not tomorrow. not next year. NOW!!! before it's too late.

For those of you who recognize how we are destroying our very planet I advise watching Zeitgeist: Moving Forward, available on youtube, that has everything to do with what is discussed here and offers a viable solution.

Regardless of the exact numbers, poisoning the world is bad.

If she says it she's just a LIBERAL IDIOT, if Tyler Durden says it he's the most AWESOME GUY ever. You american have to shift your priorities.

This is amazing. The so said smartest and most intelligent of the world prove to be the most unwise. Humanity will improve. The wise and smart will merge one day. But by then it will be too little too late. (^_^)

It is nice to live in a place that has less trash and cleaner air. But businesses are getting "greener" by the day. Environmentalism is just a "smoke and mirrors" topic to soften the Socialist and Marxist propaganda proposing complete government regulation AND ownership of what would normally be private industry. Businesses are getting greener because the consumers want it, not because a central government said so. What's the pollution levels of other nations? She's talking to the wrong crowd.

lemme guess, solution is eliminate 95% of the world population and all industry. Then she can live in a socialist utopia, and I will be a warlord who conquers utopia and rules the world. We start over ... 300 years later we have the same debate.

you assume they want the items to be recycled. All they care about is the ability to make profits.

A tiny % of the population recycles.

Your thinking to much like a scientist not enough like a sociologist
