My mother also, everytime she buys sopas or arroz caldo, she brings her own lunch box. Because the seller saves one paper cup for that, she adds more sopas. Kapag bumibili kami ng dirty ice cream sa mga dumadaan lang dito sa bahay, sa mug namin pinapalagay. And the ice cream man gives us extra scoop. So, more ice cream na, one less plastic waste pa.

Basically, it's greenwashing- but technically true.

@@aliciab4676 Thanks for the perspective. Waste needs to be dealt with on a more communal level and even household level.

Switching to these products can be a better alternative to managing global waste increase if disposed of properly. Plastic is obviously not the answer.

As an example if you order a bike from Amazon they will state to you that the box will show the contents (the bike, in case it is a gift or surprise) and ask if you want it on a double box...

In the video he mentions Trump calling Duterte about his drug war and congratulating him or something. What is interesting here are the comments Denouncing Colbert by Filipinos. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmrcc6Nsl8-Lm7s You are right this video is more about Duterete's response to trash and not about his drug war. Also the the comments here by Filipinos show they love what Trevor said about Duterte. He made him look good. Since many people outside of Phillipines may not be aware of his dictatorship he could have thrown in a side joke to make people aware. Given the serious nature of Duterte's drug war, making him look should have been avoided. My point is with all Trevor's animosity for some aspect of the West and especially Trump, he could have informed us that Duterte isn't so cool despite his bombastic response to Canada.

Here's an exercise you can do: wake up in the morning, take a little notebook and make note of all the different items you use throughout the day. From turning on a lamp to toothpaste to the OJ you drink, to your shoelaces, every little thing - it adds up fast! Next go down your list, and ask yourself if you know where each product was made, where the materials were sourced, how it should be properly disposed of when you're done with it, if it even *can* be properly disposed! American consumerism is designed to provide convenience in our lives and to brush aside the consequences. You can make small adjustments in your own personal life - the "reuse" and "reduce" part of Recycle - Reduce - Reuse. People look at you like a crazy person if you keep reusing the same plastic bottle, but it's a key pillar of the whole program!

But if you do use biodegradable materials, you have to make sure that they go to composting. Bioplastic don't biodegrade on their own for decades, they still land up in landfills and oceans as solid plastic. And in New York, for example, most neighborhoods still don't have composting bins.

[@apparentsymmetry]

I buy bottled water. In those gallon jugs. The faucet water where I live is so fucking disgusting, I won't drink it. I don't make my pets drink it. I don't even like showering in it.... But I reuse the plastic jugs. Flower pots, tools, stencils, Christmas ornaments, Halloween skeletons, etc. there's plenty of ways to reuse plastic. Am I a dumbass? Most definitely. Is being told I'm a dumbass by some fuckrag online going to make me feel any shame about being a dumbass? Not one little bit. Will the waste that doesn't get thrown into a landfill from a few people make any difference? No. None. Especially when you compare it to the waste that comes out of production factories and corporations. THAT'S where we need to really cut down on waste. We also need to cut down on waste from mail. Getting packages from Amazon... there's SO MUCH extra crap that's pointless. 95% of my last mail-order package was cardboard and plastic. There's no reason we need an 8 inch X 5 inch X 5 inch box to ship an item that's about 1 inch in size. How do we change this? I haven't got a clue.... remember; I'm a dumbass. But I'm open to any and all suggestions.

[@dcrea9416]

It all starts with the product packaging manufacturers.

[@vaughno04]

Very true. I remember growing up having just bar soap, glass pop bottles, aluminum cans and glass jars mostly with plastic being reserved for cleaning supplies, and storage. Plastics had been in use way before then, but weren't as dominating. There's large number of plastic containers or bags in use by food companies that we buy our food from at grocery stores now. (All frozen food containers and bags, dried beans, rice, noodles, most dairy, most juices, most of these are not recyclable)

@Coley Durham Not so much in the 70's. Everything is coated in plastic now, but not in the 70's. I saw the change in packaging mid-way coming up. It started about 20 years before I was born but as a kid, I saw a lot of changes from cans, glass, paper, burlap to various forms of plastic.

Yeah me too I thought this whole time we had a recycling plant that was sorting and decontaminating it somehow then just taking the plastic bottles we use today and remolding it back as a regular bottle but hearing that we have been putting it on boats and sending it off is just really terrible to hear and it is an issue. We should at least be taking stuff for compost and at least putting it back into the ground like banana peels and paper plates. Think of how useful it could've been on the earth as a whole. It would also be nice to hear what other countries are doing to handle this issue because maybe they dealt with it in a successful way we never thought of before. If we want a solution we got to work together.
