@Salmon Man I sometimes feel like there is so many people offended by the sheer existence of vegans and it sometimes seems to me that more people proclaim that they eat meat rather than saying they are vegan. That might be my surroundings, but I still find it funny that the stereotype sticks. And that people try to bring up veganism at any given point, just to make a point that isn't even necessarily grounded in reality.

Alex Schmidt even if carbon dioxide doesn't cause massive global warming, it reacts with ocean water creating carbolic acid, increasing the acidity of the ocean, killing wildlife. Also, global warming is significant not only because of CO2, but also because of methane from cows, which DOES have a large impact on global temperature

WHAT WHY ARE YOU HERE

Most coffee shops I've seen who accept reusable cups do something similar. Fast-food style ones like Dunkin don't accept cups except for basic coffee/tea. Depending on the drink, the cup costs more than the beverage does for the seller. For example, a fountain soda cup often costs more than the soda inside it. If the seller just discounted the cost of the cup, that's still decent savings for both the seller and the buyer. Less waste and more money for both.

That is such a cool idea

Over here in the states, a place like Starbucks will give you a discount, but it's pathetically small at $0.10. It's really not that much of an incentive when the drinks cost $5+

i think other coffee businesses do that now too, you buy a reuseable cup from them and you get money off each cup. But what are those cups made out of? PLASTIC!

This is a really great point! It should be more global and i mean the entire fight against climate change requires everyone!

@@brandielee7971 the UN isn't really a governing body. It merely... suggests. Have you noticed its list of sustainable goals? They are goals, not laws. In order for it to be taken seriously by all, every nation needs to sign a treaty saying they will take so-and-so steps. Even then, UN doesn't really have means to enforce these agreements. For example, if Trump goes through the entire process of withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, there is no way anyone can stop him from doing so.

Sorcha Leary in California there is a 10 cent surcharge for bags

In Britain its 5p for plastic bags and 10p for reusable plastic bags.

wouldn't charging for plastic bags be just "more capitalism"? It allows companies to see a slight increase in their profits while reducing emissions at the same time. As a free-market supporter this makes sense on so many levels, its a win-win.

dev02ify While true in certain cases free market as far as I understand is more toward large companies not having a buttload of power. Sorta promoting small businesses? But yeah the less regulation in there is certainly part of it. However in some circumstances less regulation is good, like say if the regulation has become outdated and no longer useful, or if its putting a stranglehold on the business. Less regulation is not no regulation after all, companies shouldn't be able to do as they please because at the end of the day they aren't human, they're a large system designed to turn a profit, no matter what. Loosening regulations a bit is something that's good or bad depending on the circumstances, and really that's what it all comes down to, circumstance dictates a lot more than you'd think it would in business. Anyway I've said my piece, feel free to correct any factual errors, please do show me your reasoning though, "your wrong" never really helps all that much. Have a good day, god knows you wasted a few minutes reading this mini essay in the KZfaq comments. Well, hopefully not wasted, but you know what I mean.

I know, but the companies could actively do it as a way to increase profits without needing gov't intervention. What I was trying to say was it is rather strange that these companies dont do this already, it only holds benefits.

This is a good idea in theory but the problem is Starbucks has a policy where they have to rinse out all reusable cups with hot water before they can give you your drink

I've also always questioned why the Starbucks cups say "do not microwave" on them.

The is a polarization about renewable energy. If it isn’t an exact perfect solution it’s thought of as frivolous and wasteful. You talk about solar energy and someone against it will tell you how sand gets on the panes and would cost money to keep clean. Or that jobs would suffer in the other industry. Windmills kill birds and bats. Etc etc. I even tried showing the person against windmills an article about a tower that shifts with wind to collect the energy instead of having the blades. Plus a lot of people have a nimby complex. They don’t want to see it. Basically what I’m trying to say is some people really don’t want to change as frustrating as it is. You’ll always get a “but what about ...” response. For example I use cloth diapers for my baby and I hear “but what about the energy it takes to wash them. It’s not really any better than disposable is it?” 🙄

The only issue is that as of right now fossil fuels ARE more efficient than renewables, that's why they're being used so much. But as technology improves, renewables should be able to catch up.

Intentionally wrote -Taxes- ?

Planes, cellphone towers, building windows, pesticides, fence wiring and cars kill way more birds each year than anything. Humans have been destroying bird habitats way before wind energy was a thing. I never see people talking about that but as soon as you bring up turbines that is all they can complain about. Most don’t care about the birds lives, they are just finding excuses because they are afraid of change.

Its also worth pointing out that keeping "the grid" powered is a bit more of a complicated process than is initially thought. For example, California has a problem. The duck curve. This is a curve which shows energy demand vs energy production, in california these days, it swings in a "duck shape" throughout the day. In the morning when people wake up, its kinda in the middle, the sun is at an angle and produces a little energy, but few also use much energy in the morning. The problem is in the noon, energy production peaks because max sun, but few use the electricity. So California must dump it somewhere or risk too much energy being on the grid and causing problems, and they often pay places like Arizona to take it from them. At night, people come home, the lights turn on, but panels arent producing anything, so demand spikes. The current way this is taken care of is by throttling power generation stations, but not all stations can be throttled easily. Natural gas stations are the easiest to crank up and down, but things like nuclear for example... its actually impossible to shut down a nuclear plant at one moment, shutdown takes weeks. And now we have this added layer of things like solar and wind depending wildly on conditions around the place generating power so its harder now. The ideal solution is energy storage, but despite what Ol' Musky says, batteries are still very inefficient and IMO a poor solution to the problem. Other methods aren't much better. Renewable brings its own challenges.

It should be fair and mutual cooperation.

People should actually use their heads

If the consumer doesn't buy, then the producer won't make it. Reducing consumption is an integral part of reducing waste.

@@nolin132 Producers flood the market with wasteful products making the most ecological purchases difficult for the average consumer.

OspreyBravo18 There would be almost no effect if we're talking about the carbon emissions. recent studies show that if all of the world's countries were to simultaneously drop their production of carbon emissions right now by what I believe they said was 50% or something along those lines, that we would only see a drop of atmospheric carbon dioxide of around .08%. On top of this, Carbon dioxide is actually fairly good for the environment. Carbon dioxide DOES increase the temperature of the environment by a very slight margin, allowing plants enzymes to speed up, which, ironically, allows them to carry out photosynthesis more quickly, and in the process use up carbon dioxide. The abundance of co2 in the atmosphere helps the plants as well because it also allows them to carry out photosynthesis more frequently. this creates a cycle in which the plants use the carbon dioxide being created. And even if plants can't keep up with the co2, it won't matter because water vapor is the real culprit for global warming and cooling. Even big climate change supporters will tell you that water vapor is the biggest greenhouse gas. The reason that carbon dioxide doesn't have so much of an effect is that co2 reflects just as much heat out of the atmosphere as it traps in. In fact, during the ice age there is evidence that there was a lot of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere www.telegraph.co.uk/news/earth/environment/climatechange/4061092/Greenhouse-gases-could-have-caused-an-ice-age-claim-scientists.html Most scientists who are on the climate change train would claim that the environment would be hot and the surface would be cold, but this doesn't make clear sense, since the same scientists claim that smaller portions of co2 in our atmosphere would singificantly heat up our surface and our atmosphere. The much more likely scenario is that both the surface and the atmosphere were cold. the co2 would block out heat from getting in, and their would be less water vapor in the atmosphere because more of it than today would be on the surface as ice and snow. And even if their is some terrible global warming catastrophe, then we could fairly easily curb the problem with genetically modified plants. Scientists have already started working on trees that can do this, and I can't remember the exact name but I believe they've already got one that works fairly well.

Parkerz you are 5 million people and generate a lot of your electricity from water (for example waterfalls). In Germany however we are 80 million people it gets a lot harder to just generate ecofriendly electricity for everybody, though we are trying :) What I also really like about Scandinavian countries is, that you have way more No-Waste-Shops, where you can fill up everything you need

Yes there are a lot of electric cars because they are heavily subsidized by your government. Where does the money for said subsidies come from one might ask ? From all of the oil and gasoline that your country sells!!! If I’m wrong please let me know. All u are doing is taking your carbon footprint and letting people burn it in other parts of the world. To be honest I am totally fine with this and think it is a great for I guys but come on let’s be real and not try to act all high and mighty.

Germany is getting really good at using wind, solar and biomass. Granted I'm not a big fan of biomass, all that it is is just that it's renewable, but it is better than coal. The rate is increasing every year.

Not all countries is lucky enough to have the natural resources that you have

Peeta Griffin this is what I always think :/

If everyone thought that way that would be bad. So that's why people should stop thinking that way and persuade others to do the same.

Maybe it’s just because you haven’t met those who do. Luckily, the internet and specific forums can be great resources to find people in your area that can guide you through it. This can also lead to more people joining the change. Cliche as it is, one person that starts the change leaves the possibility of others to do the same.

You know what is interesting about the video? how the guy asks the question whether recycling does anything at all to stop the progress of global warming, and then just skips it. That's the kind of stuff that makes you wonder.

read: lobbyists

if companies didn't make sure there were skeptics and critics, there wouldn't be any. but they fund propaganda and advertisements to make you think you're polluting less, but you're not actually doing much, and the companies still make all the money. also, lobbyists keep government powerless. an example: they tell us to buy more "slightly less polluting" products, but added up, the company makes more money and we destroy earth faster

Right??? All of my friends complain "its too hard!" Zero Waste can be hard at times but it's worth it and very important.

It will probably take 15 years. But by then the earth will be really damaged

she lied

johan banan she did

johan banan You definitely did not continue watching the video. She already said she decomposes food scraps, recycle and reuse whatever that are in good shape

geocedille it's not bullshit. she reduced her trash significantly. reusing things is good for waste management.

VonLanzeloth Where can I buy toothpaste by weight into my own jar? Washing chemicals? Shampoo? How can you buy milk without plastic/carton bottle?

You actually can substitute toothpaste with baking soda She's likely making her own soap too

There might be a refill store near you where you can go and fill up bottles and jars with shampoo and soaps and stuff like that

Same here.

That's really good, wich state

Ella Torosian Vermont

@@rebekahc1259 why am I not surprised you're from Vermont 😂😂 Well actually I know why (Bernie Sanders). I love your state for so many things. I would move there if it wasn't for the healthcare. I'm not exactly American lol

do you use VPN?

A week would be almost 2% of a year...

I love that idea ❤️

Well guess I'll just wait 24h to put my water bottle in recycling

Tripti Shukla goodluck with that, and it won’t do much

Instead of a no plastic day a plastic clean up day would do much more if everybody cleaned up plastic for a day instead of working or staying home

Hahaha

Im mexican and my family does this too

Lmao we just use them to throw other rubbish

I'm white and my family has always kept them under the sink. Lol

Our family re-uses them for trash cans as well. That way it's not just a single use, but a double use and prevents you from buying a whole box of bags just to use for trash!
