I think one of the simplest things everyone can start to do, is to REPAIR clothes, devices, washing machines, etc. We are constantly being marketed into buying new stuff , even if the old stuff still works just fine.If we could re-design our economic system to 90% repair, that would be a milestone in sustainability

I started converting gas cars in the 90s to Electric and at the time there was a movement to push the recycling of gas cars by converting them to Electric which is still happening today but not as much. There is a market now for batteries from Nissan Leaf and Tesla cars 4 conversions. Click on my picture to see my KZbin channel about it. I have my car set up to store the energy from our solar panels which I think will be the next thing. Using your electric car as a battery for your solar energy.

Ideally consumers would force producers to make their products 100% easily recyclable and repairable but lacking that consumer consensus I think it is the prevvy of government to compel corporations to make their products as environmentally friendly as possible we need to do this for our children

@zapador 4 жыл бұрын

I agree! Another point along the same lines that I usually like to bring up is this: We've spent most of our technological advances on making things cheaper instead of more durable and long lasting. We have the technology and materials to make products significantly longer lasting. I firmly believe that one of the easiest things we can do now is to demand that governments require companies to offer a very long warranty period. If all products came with for example a 10 or 25 year warranty, depending on the type of product, then the capitalist system would become part of the solution for the problem it has created. I have great faith in the capitalist system in the sense that it is effective. I'm sure companies would find a solution efficiently and quickly. All of the cheap **** we can buy today would simply disappear as it would be unprofitable. People throw away a washing machine after a few years because it was only 199$. Had they instead bought a quality product like a Miele it would be going strong for more than 20 years and if it broke after just a few years they'd have it repaired because it wasn't just 199$. Products should also be designed in ways so they can be repaired and any attempts to prevent repairs, like for example Apple is doing, should be illegal. Repair manuals / schematics should be freely available so anyone can setup a repair shop. Some people might argue that these extended warranties would cause products to become prohibitively expensive and that may seem like a valid argument - washing machine for 1199$ or a pair of shoes for 200$? Holy cow! I would however argue that it isn't the case, products that are cheap to buy are rarely the cheapest in the long run and in the worst case it is a break even. A 200$ pair of shoes can last a decade if they can be re-soled several times and a quality washing machine can go on for literally a few decades. We should approach all products like we (at least used to) do with cars - you service it at a regular interval and if something breaks it can be repaired.

Micheal more has always been a sensationalist hack. So many half truths and outright falsehoods in this film. Using footage/research from 10-15 years before the film was made with no effort to include updated data is disingenuous as can be. The anti-growth statements are a diversion from the real question: What is the best way to supply energy defined as utilizing the least resources to do so while producing the least pollution. Of course reduction of consumption will help no matter how we source our power.

Most biomass is run off waste wood from milling, disruptions in lumber markets mean that there is sometimes not enough waste to completely power the plant but the power it generates is still needed. The net energy generated by waste, including tires and RR ties means that these plants generally operate at a surplus. The "truth" in this film is very selectively edited to give you the feeling you had. Renewables are not the answer right now, but eventually, they will be, you can't force change without having negative impacts a lot of which will be far worse than burning extra lumber that can't be used in construction.

I haven't watched the film yet, but I have long had a feeling that most "green" businesses are simply capitalizing on the "green" in the name and not actually doing anything useful. There are sadly so many people driving around in their overpriced Tesla's with a condescending smirk, feeling they are saving the environment. Yet, never checking how much carbon is emitted in the production of the car, the battery and most importantly, the power you charge it with. Climate change is no different from other political matters in one important regard: terrible supporters are worse than strong opposition. And I believe Al Gore, and possibly Michael Moore, have done more harm to the "green" cause than good. Their divisiveness and blatant dishonesty (at least in Gore's case) have pushed so many people into climate change denial it's horrible.

We could cap incomes at $70,000 and have one healthcare for all people, but then government employees, business owners, lawyers, Wall Street and others would have a fit. We could do nothing and pretend that everything is fine, but eventually we will have armed violence with the poor against the wealthier people. We could pollute the environment at an even faster pace and vaccinate everyone and keep track of them with Quantum Dot Tattoos and if they get out of line the Gates Foundation Tattoos might be able to just kill you.

A lot of people bulk shop using SUVs to big box stores (Costco, WalMart) buying processed preserved packaged goods that can last long time in storage. It's part of the suburban sprawl lifestyle but people in cities and the country also do it. I'm not saying that is what you are doing. However this is the exact thing that MM is getting at: consumer options that are greenwashed. However, MM's film is very badly made. You don't build trust using deceptive out of date footage. And trust is badly needed for us to work together. Lots of people have been working on this and have much more accurate and up to date info on what works and doesn't work. But many will see the support for them drop as people abandon environmentalism and retreat into the individualistic American ethic (that the film offers no alternative to!?!!!) and pe perfect survivalist consumers. It would be better to live close and walk to the store regularly and have a community relationship with the store and the farmers. Small towns in Europe have done a good job with this. Also they share their farm fields amongst the village. It's not communist at all, in fact in the East of Europe this community village farm system was damaged by big state interventions so its stronger in West Germany but not East Germany for instance. The English/American fences and castles for rural land system is a big part of the problem. And has been for a long long time.

I go to the store several times a week, and get a lot of fresh produce, ride a bus or walk to do so, generally on the way home from work, and eat well without consuming as much packaged food as most Americans, and without consuming any animal cadavers, far more destructive than taking a few trips to the store. I don't see any way for me to shop only twice a month unless I were to change my diet to eat a lot more longer lasting (probably meaning factory packaged) foods, and less fresh produce that came from small and often local farms instead of a factory. I don't see the switch as being greener or less consumptive simply because I'd cut down my number of store visits.

I've worked in the wind and solar industries for the past 12 years and I disagree, we've done EVERYTHING we possibly can to design, manufacture and install the highest efficient wind and solar equipment with the environment, always in mind. The fossil fuel industry receives billions, every year, in tax subsidies that we, in the wind and solar industry, have worked tirelessly to match. I've met with U.S. Senators in the Senate office and on Capitol Hill, talking directly with them about giving us the same tax breaks as the coal, gas and oil industries receive. The Dems and Independents have been wonderful to work with while Republican Senators refuse to ever meet with us. We haven't asked for special treatment, just to be fair, either give us the same tax credits or eliminate ALL tax credits for energy production. It's easy for Moore and others to be armchair quarterbacks and scoff at the wind and solar industries which totally PISSES me off as we're doing our absolute best to help save this wonderful planet while Moore and his buddies laugh in their mansions, flying around the world in their leer jets, mocking us every step of the way. Moore's nothing but a stupid fat ass that I'll punch in the face, when I see him.

@@lduych I watched the whole film. Like most things, it's a mixed bag. However, if you search ["the planet of the humans" review], you'll find blogs by environmentalists, various technologists and others that credibly dispute some of the films assertions. One example: the "degraded" wind and solar installations displayed are not representative or typical. Another: many of the films "facts" are outdated. - I would note that a power line coming into a "carbon-neutral" facility proves absolutely nothing except that there's electrical power available. - There IS widespread agreement that biomass combustion is not generally a sustainable source of large-scale energy. But "sustainable" and "large-scale" need to be defined for this assertion as well. - Personally, I can tell you that mountaintop removal for coal mining is NOTHING LIKE creating a clearing for wind turbines. - Solar installations are commonly lasting 30 years or more, not always derelict after 20 as reflected in the movie. - There IS analysis that confirms the net energy produced by modern solar and wind devices will exceed the inputs. But there is a "payback period". So, for example, we don't get net benefits by installing a solar panel and only using it on weekends to charge the car. The same is true of hydro. Bottom line: technology alone doesn't make a difference - what counts is employing that technology in a way that actually has an impact on emissions, mining, waste, etc. A systems approach is needed. There's an impact from all and any human activity. Including KZbin!

They're right about some things like biofuels but overall this is trying to discredit renewal energy despite there being some major improvements in recent years.

NOT real news, they falsely blame a virus (which the world has seen worse and even plagues) on CO2 levels. Also they don't seem to know that the very oxygen we breath was originally CO2 before the trees converted it to oxygen. Without CO2 there is NO LIFE. Also all that carbon in the coal and oil originally was in our atmosphere before trees removed it and later died. So burning it is merely replacing what was removed. Meaning we have had much higher CO2 levels during the life of our planet. An argument can even be made that free oxygen is the real pollutant as at one point our planet didn't have any, it came from thousands of years of plant life creating it while diminishing the CO2 levels in our atmosphere. Also they don't discuss that ALMOST ALL HEAT PRODUCED in our atmosphere is created by the water vapor that is present. CO2 has minimal impact on heat production when compared to water vapor in the air. So why is no one talking about drying our air, or perhaps finding ways to shade the planet instead of fabricating excuses to run everyone's life as we are an energy economy and been so since the stone age.

Yes, we will run out of fossil fuels in a few hundred years, but there are alternatives, the rush to put those in place is causing far more damage than good.

You must be young, this is called a con job or snake oil salesman. Remove all the CO2 from the air and all plant life dies on this planet. Did you ever take Botany in high school? If you watch the news, then you know politics infects everything INCLUDING SCIENCE. Politics in science created the scientific consensus that the earth is fat and that it is the center of the universe and that the sun circles the earth. Anyone that TELLS you what science says is LYING to you. Science doesn't say anything, it has no spokesperson, it has no politics, it has no conclusions, or feelings, or beliefs. Sadly, IF this is a thing, then why is no one talking about the science? All that carbon found in coal and oil used to be in the atmosphere, so burning it is simply RETURNING it to the atmosphere where it originally came from (NOT adding it). Water vapor produces almost ALL of the heat in our atmosphere and they didn't even mention that. Water vapor is the BIGGEST greenhouse gas in our atmosphere, so why do you think none of these power hungry authoritarians ever mention that? Anyone that tells you to give them power to save the planet that doesn't mention water vapor, or where the carbon in coal and oil originally came from, or sun spot cycles, and much more isn't having an honest discussion on climate change, they are charlatans.

Sure enact regulations to make things clean and proper. The best way to do this is make everyone at least middle class, when they dont fear about starvation, they can think about environment. Capitalism still is the only method that produced wealth. The rest just degenerates faster make everyone starving at the end, then you are back to square one.

Is all bullshit that only give the appearance of doing something while they just find excuses to tax you more and take more out of your pockets and your children mouths. And in the end, if you want to reduce the population there is a very simple solutions. Development and NOT immigration. Advance nations everywhere see decreases in birth rates because the standards of life are high and therefore parents want to give high standards of life to their kids and is hard to do that when you have too many of them. When you live in a shithole you care just about survival and nothing more and having children is just another way of survival by using them as free workers on the fields and even selling them. Not to mention the lack of ability to just buy condoms and birth control pills etc. If those nations were advanced then they would have decreased birth rates too and the whole global population will decrease to a lower level naturally. And what does the whole planet need to advance. two things. Capitalism and more freedom from the state so people can innovate and be entrepreneurs etc. Less dictators, less taxes, less control, less micromanagement laws, more freedom. Instead of doing that we do the opposite we the advance nations are going back to being more and more socialist, and more controlling and overbearing and closer to dictatorships with politicians making more and more laws about every little detail just in case anyone breaths and doesn't pay them taxes.

@UCJScQRXXgy_Q5eWk0HLlGVw 1) Nuclear power is as clean as windpower, while being much more expensive. This is the main reason there is more of a drive towards wind power than for current nuclear power. This might change with new generation nuclear power, but for now that is absolutely not a certaincy. 2) Nuclear fusion is indeed the holy grail, one that is being looked at for decades, without any real sight to commercial uses. The main project in this (ITER) already is massively over budget and over time and it was possibly not even commercial from the onset, but just another step towards it. We can't trust on nuclear fusion for the environmental problems we face now. 3) Maybe you could, but the prices of everything will skyrocket. No company will do this unless they are forced and if they are forced, the cost will be past to their consumers and these will vote out any government that did this. This is unfortunately the reality. Unless recycling isn't too expensive, it just will not happen.

The word "Can't' comes from our Fixed Mindset Mind. IMO: Best to speak back form Growth Mindset Mind, by adding the word "Yet"! Being Curious about how is the root of mind's creativity power. Our critic side that we all have. that is on overactive sometimes, covers our internal picture language of native creative mind. "Can't is part of our Internal Critic rap that also dumps responsibility by blame any feelings we avoid, on a host of 'others. Our Internal Critic covers creative ideas with pictures opposite of positive affirmative mental picture of what we want, or where we might go. Might sound like BS, but it part of universal raps of truth to tap into this.

A ban on carbon will not satisfy the psychopathic control freaks, as they'll only want *MORE CONTROL!* How long until we collectively say "enough is enough!" By the way, consumerism at its most destructive only ever comes from the elite and the government. Think about it, if we have a tax based on carbon or CO2, there is now a reason to tax everyone just for being alive and breathing. And it will need a global taxing authority to manage it. Please think about what these control freaks would do with such a scheme, and it quickly becomes an economic transfer and control scheme on a global scale, this is working for a ban on carbon, which by default is MUCH more insidious as that would mean. To do this for not even a significant fraction of a percent of our atmosphere, only 4% of that figure stems from human activity over the entire span of human history!? Absolutely absurd, knowing just how inconsequential our carbon emissions have turned out to be. So far as climate change goes, we're just along for the ride. So far as rampant consuerism goes, however, the elites, the politicians, and some journos are responsible for the lion's share of the damage.

Fractional reserve banking is a myth. Banks do not lend their capital, nor do they lend some multiple of their capital. The problem is the money issuance franchise, guaranteed exclusively to the federal government by the US Constitution, has been outsourced to commercial banks.

These people are right. Did you know that recycling was a carefully constructed sham by the plastics industry to place the responsibility of plastic waste onto the consumers. Look at your own sanitation department in your neighborhood. It used to take one trash truck on Monday. Now there are three trucks driving disel for trash, wood, recycle. At the same time, the recycling stuff is dump in landfills . . . IT IS AN ABSOLUTE SHAM

@tonespeaks 4 жыл бұрын

While I agree that some Recycling Plastics is a sham. Recycling isn't just for Plastics, it is for lots of material that can be easily reused and repurposed. If we reduce some of the material that we use, we reduced the energy use, therefore we reduce the amount of fossil fuel we consume, it's that simple. The motto has always been "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle", "Recycling" being the last point. Doing something to help the planet is better than doing nothing, this is what Moore and company miss. Green movement isn't an immediate solution, but it is an aid. We could run this Planet using only Solar, Wind and other Green Energies, it is possible we with existing technology. Iceland generates 100% of there energy from renewables. BTW there are Electric Recycling Trucks, but most don't use them.

you worrying about one orangutan reminds me of this quote by the atheist richard dawkins- The total amount of suffering per year in the natural world is beyond all decent contemplation. During the minute that it takes me to compose this sentence, thousand of animals are being eaten alive, many others are running for their lives, whimpering with fear, others are slowly being devoured from within by rasping parasites, thousands of all kinds are dying of starvation, thirst, and disease. It must be so… In a universe of electrons and selfish genes, blind physical forces and genetic replication, some people are going to get hurt, other people are going to get lucky, and you won’t find any rhyme or reason in it, nor any justice. The universe that we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but pitiless indifference.

Ravine Seder The ocean isn’t running out out of fish. That comment of his was just uninformed and I attributed it to hyperbole but perhaps he actually believed it. So...countries (China especially) needs to stop dumping garbage in the ocean but no one wants to hold them responsible. It’s hard to get an international coalition to condemn China for this corona virus. Aside from that, the oceans make up 73% of the earth’s surface and, unlike land, it has depth, up to about 6 or 7 miles at its deepest, I believe. There are plenty of fish in each of those layers of ocean. To suggest otherwise is just not true and fear mongering.
