Plastic Pollution Needs Bigger Solutions | Chris Reeves | TEDxNewport

[@shannonsolano999]

Thank You Chris! This topic is something that has been bugging me for years especially as Ive slowly watched companies that I used to believe in ( their supposed enviro friendly marketing) phase out glass for plastic. Its sickening. thank you for spreading the word and reminding me to start talking about it more and doing more .

Tech note... Shame it appears someone really screwed up with the audio encoding quality - or possibly some weird artifacts caused by feedback suppression processing on the live sound.

[@Jo-hello]

Really great talk! Thank you. Opened my eyes to many things. Inspired me to continue to adress my family’s consumption habits and waste.

[@chunlow1142]

The rich countries as the biggest producer of plastic wastes must stop exporting them illegally to other countries immediately. Malaysia has returned 42 containers of illegal plastic waste to the UK in 2020 and I believe the Malaysian government will continue to do so. It's not hard to imagine how many tonnes of plastic they have dumped there by corruptions throughout the years.

You know, it never fails to amaze me how people spent so much time making little toy boats for kids and things for kids to choke on when we make gigantic ships out of steele. Why, with all our waste can't we build ships out of plastic? Why can't we build buildings out of plasic? If the ancient Egyptians built pyramids out of stone, surely we can do something useful with waste plastic that will last a few hundred years. Maybe build highways or something?

Can you guys separate the video into labeled segments so people can get to talking points or to go back to specific talking points we are looking for!?

Go plastic free 😎

[@kevonz1]

Single use glass has over 100 times the embedded energy of single use plastic. Every last aspect of this dystopian culture is unsustainable.

[@corinnemeier6379]

What is this about the 1 symbol? Is it recyclable or not?

[@emmaslyons]

Seems not. According to the speaker it just sign-posts the type of plastic used.

@@emmaslyons it is but no 100%

you guys should ask youtube to recommend this video to all your subscribers sense this is an important topic, not just for entertainment 18k views and 282 likes for a topic like this that is fact-checked, with 35Million subscribers is neglect, maybe redo this video with some more passion and emphasis?
