National Geographic in the country where i live, we started to give charges on plstic bags, and some people now uses cardboard, but i think it would be better if we can start using plastic made from biodegradeable materials though...

National Geographic Gaming companies keep making plastic game cases even though everything is also sold digital.

Plastics bags are around 10 to 20 times cheaper in our country, lighter than paperbags 30:1, water proof for wet products like fish , more durable because of flexibility compared to paper bags, weather resistant like rain, last almost forever like 10years its still usable as long as its not exposed to sunlight. tough and flexible like metal, weather resistant like copper, light like liquid gas, cheap like salt. laws our implemented in our country and cities are banning plastic yet consumers and sellers are resisting still using plastic bags because its cheaper , water proof, durable, lighter. So it would take a very long time to see a world with very less plastics. Hope people invent something like plastic but biodegradable and cheaper to make plastic obsolete.

I know is plastic is so so so big problem in our world. we must dont useing it

just keep recycle plastic everyone it not that hard

It's wonderful that organisms such as mealworms can help break down plastic naturally. Combined with a conscious effort to reduce and recycle plastic, we may be on our way to a world with less waste!

Or just use less plastics....?

Mealworms are not the answer, harvesting enough mealworms to breakdown the amount of plastics we use is massive! We need to stop using single use plastics, that is the only thing that will have a major impact.

@@malikrahman8649 how am i suppose to carry my fishes then?

@@goosty17 or just make less plastic.

lol:D

Long Hei Adrian YIU I think u buy them to feed meerkats and stuff

They are too slow we need to all limit our waste by ourself!

@@laurieestrel9301 Yeah sure tell that to the masses

@@lester3917 Maybe instead of telling others what to do we can focus on ourselves, I think that is what the commenter intended.

@@BenDover-ul1gy I agree

Not aluminium, though.

Chop useless for getting like writing so long

To be fair how could early plastic manufacturers forsee this???

Yeh

@Joshua Uduma Its like inventing fire to cook and heat, who would have known global warming back then

@@klikitzsmith8416 those blasted tribes and their plastic balls, how dare them not predict this outcome!!! 😡

Punishment taxes reduce freedom and are ineffecient. A better solution is to incentivize research and development of cheaper biodegradable plastics and/or bio-engineered microbes to consume the non-biodegradable plastics.

We only have a 5 cent tax on plastic bags, that needs to be increased. If plastic bags cost $2 per bag, more people would remember reusable bags or just use the cart as intended and load their groceries in the car instead of carrying it all out.

Only very rich countries would be able to pay that tax.

Money isn't meant to exist

cool.......I'm gonna dirty up the entire universe hahahahhahahahhahahahahhahahahhahahahhahahahahhahahahahahha

the bioplastic is literally made of corn starch, although thats not really a bad thing

Yes keep it clean form carona and the plastic around the world

Yeah 😂😂😂

I'm from school?

Research!

I is from school lol

yes

Though banned but it is still in use by many of us :(

@@Anishbhosle14 Yes after 3 years i can see that

Crazy

That bird in plastic bag.. heartbreaking..

Here when we do buy bottles, we buy giant ones (think office water dispenser) and return it for money a bit of once its empty, or reuse it for storage.

oop

@JcDaniel You bring up some very relevant information about the scale and scope of the plastics pollution problem. I think that most people would not be surprised to learn that Asian countries are major polluters (China and India being the twin heads of that evil beast). The situation is one for major concern that can easily exasperate and disillusion the most environmentally conscious among us. But despite our inability to regulate foreign populations to adopt less harmful policies we can and should act responsibly on a local level. Keeping our own rivers, lakes and seashores as clean as possible is a worthwhile effort. Maintaining a high quality of life for ourselves, for our pets and native species (animals, plants and trees) is worthy of our attention. It may not be an immediate solution on a global scale but we can make a difference in our communities, our states and our country. Companies and institutions with business in other countries can provide economic incentives that extend our own enlightened environmentalism. We have to start someplace.

Here in UK we have environmental officers that patrol streets and fine people that litter.i was heavily fined £500 for litter on street .

hey google What was the drop in 2010 on plastic usage from?

😂😂 me too

same xD

August Andrew did he swollow a spoon?

+artfx9 i dont understand your question but thanks coz you just gave me an idea. ill make him eat a metal spoon so he'll choke and will stop acting like a plastic😂

Latex rubber is not a long run answer. If we turn to rubber to replace plastics then we encourage the destruction of forests and jungles in third world countries where giant corporations encourage the people to put in rubber plantations. We need to focus on sustainable options to plastic, from the ground up.
