Video Description:
It makes sense to recycle some things. But the process of recycling most items that people currently engage in, actually wastes more resources than it saves.

Only 18 years? so ... ( 6 months ago by fusion451)
Only 18 years? so my son will be sitting in garbage in college...
If all diesal trucks would run on biodiesal (recycled cooking oil) 100 million gallons would be saved from going into land fills every year while reducing emmisions by 80%
but lets just throw more oil products in landfills its not toxic lol
they pave over the ... ( 6 months ago by MrGuileful)
they pave over the stuff when they are done and build houses, or they could pave over it
and make more land fills
just a thought
The problem with ... ( 6 months ago by 117wolf)
The problem with bio-diesel is that
1) there isn't enough cooking oil to do this in a practical manner
2) it isn't cleaner on the environment it actually takes 1.18gal of oil to make 1 gal of bio-fuel
3) it drives the food prices up because farmers plant what they can make the most money from.
We're not even ... ( 6 months ago by 161803)
We're not even remotely running out of trees. And as the video points out, most trees pulped into paper come from tree farms. Glass is made of sand, so not many worries there. Iron and Aluminum are among the most abundant elements in the Earth's crust, though copper is more scarce. In other words, your examples suck.
100 million gallons ... ( 6 months ago by fusion451)
100 million gallons not enuf?
Canada grows the the rape seed plant its a weed low water low soil necesities Canola is derived from it ...theres ur supplement

Since what year has ... ( 6 months ago by ericvonh)
Since what year has America's forests grown 7 million acres a year? "The nation's forest land area is still about two-thirds the size it was in the year 1600, in spite of the conversion of 370 million acres of forest land to other uses, principally to agriculture."- University of Georgia School of Forestry
Also the message at ... ( 6 months ago by ericvonh)
Also the message at the end "Recycling is not necessary, but if you want to go ahead" is asinine. Many things are not necessary but contribute to a greater good.
Best thing to do is ... ( 5 months ago by sabey8)
Best thing to do is REDUCE consumption. Do I really need what I expect to buy? Is this food is good and nessary to my body? Do I depend on something? Through my conciousness can I put it in action? I beleive we can make a difference.

Pretty pictures but ... ( 5 months ago by DMsubs)
Pretty pictures but no real hard facts. If producer of undertook real research and checked out facts, they would find out energy used in collecting and transporting recyclables is far out-weighed by energy saving when reprocessed. OK not all recycling has benefits but most does have big benefits and is worthwhile, but we shouldn't forget waste reduction will always be better.

Wow! A whole 18 years. WHAT THE FUCK DO WE DO IN 19 YEARS?!?!
That is the current ... ( 3 months ago by dexxter7)
That is the current Land field space, we aren't running out of space (Decomposition). Land fields create methane that can be used for energy. Look up the methane power plants. Also recycling paper creates a toxic ink sludge that is horrible for the environment.
Dude, if you don't ... ( 3 months ago by jmrios1984)
Dude, if you don't think we're running out of space, then you must have a big empty space between your ears. Simple math, the rate of decomp is much, much less than the rate of influx. Hence, the landfills are growing at a rate much higher than they are disappearing. If you don't believe me, visit Staten Island and tell me that decomp is making the mountains of garbage smaller.
They said that most ... ( 3 months ago by JimmyLick1)
They said that most recycling is good. But the process that is used with paper requires huge amounts of energy and produces a lot of waste.
That would be, I ... ( 3 months ago by JimmyLick1)
That would be, I think, since 1920, when deforestation was recognized as a serious issue. We've been chopping down trees ever since we settled in America, and only recently have we been repairing our damage, but it is working.

Sure cooking oil is better if you use is on one car, but there is simply not enough cooking oil to replace all of the gasoline that we use.

As a Christian and a Republican, God will take care of the environment better than man can. Recycling in my opinion funds the liberal left which indirectly funds homosex, art, abortion, satanism, veganism, lesbianism, environmentalism, etc. I'd rather use more fossil fuels that funds terrorists in the middle east because at least they have God. Liberals reject God but expect us to believe in recycling. Pretty hypocritical when you think about it.

pretty basic stuff to me folks
stop making it no need to clean up after
have you ever ... ( 2 months ago by AUBURNPROUD7)
have you ever studied what our forest systems were like back when we first came here? Or, let's say, 1800? The country wasn't covered in trees like most people think. We aren't just now repairing the land...it's been going on for years. Go to Nashville, TN and look at the landscape now...then go compare it to pix from the 1800's.

0:50 ~80% of all paper is grown on tree farms. I've been looking for that statistic for awhile but can't find it. Does anyone know a reliable (perhaps government) website that backs up this fact?

Yeah that's where i first heard it, then i found it here. However those are the only two sources I have seen that support this fact. I do enjoy and agree with all of their shows except for a select few.
