hi can i please use ur video in my blog?

[mercola]

@q8gogreen You can use ANYONE"s video on your blog as long as you don't change it. That is completely within copyright allowances. However, you can't edit it and repost to YouTube otherwise You Tube will ban you.

Great video! Until watching this, I was not aware of the extent of how much damage plastic bags can cause to our Earth.

I look forward to the nationwide ban scheduled for 2010, and in the meantime, I'm going to go buy myself an organic tote.

Cut back??? Stop using them all together! There are many options available, just take cloth bags with you in your vehicle wherever you go. Head out of the sand folks, it is time to stand up for something important.

I like Whole Foods Bags made from recycled water bottles for groceries

Instead of buying a cloth bag, you can make one yourself.

Plastic bags are ONE PART of the problem we have on our hands today.. we need to reach the root cause of our problems if we want to make any real change which to me is a lot like realizing that our cities today are obsolete and therefore we need to start implementing the suppressed technology into NEW CITIES.. We are so lucky that Jacque Fresco realized this long ago and committed his life to do exactly that.. so check out The Venus Project if you have a half a brain.. JUST DO IT!

Smart&Safe headphone conduct the sound from cell phone conversations and music through a hollow tube filled with air, without metal wires. This is scientifically proven to reduce the electromagnetic radiation reaching the user’s sensitive ear and brain area by up to 98%. These headphones are ultra stylish and are available in several colors. A video can be seen on my profile.

One thing that bothered me a lot when I was In India was that the cows eat plastic bags eg a tourist puts a banana skin in a plastic bag and puts it in a bin then the cow eats the lot I pulled 4 plastic bags out of a calfs mouth one day , they were all joined together like a rope , There is no reason to use plastic at all , everything made of plastic can be made from hemp. No words to describe the crime of plastic except genocide

i have been an urban backpacker for about 30 years now. i lived in a large city and if i needed a plastic bag for someone to carry something from my place, i usually had to hunt for one......and then,at my local BIG STORE, there appeared a RECYCLING BIN for the plastic bags.now i could use plastic bags because THEY WERE RECYCLABLE !!!!!! within 2 months i had 2 "bags-of-bags ...where before i had to hunt for 1..i went back to NOT USING- not recycling

i personally see Recycing as the LAST R
