I salute to these people who come with unique ideas and implement them, thank you for doing that.

How beautiful to take the sacred temple flowers and make them into yet another sacred product. What a lovely idea.

I know that it's complicated, but if recycled stuff costs SO MUCH MORE than normal stuff, people will still want to use the normal, not everyone can afford sustainability! And THAT is a huge problem!

[thomasthetankengine]

It’s not just the recycling with the chopsticks, as a builder they look absolutely mint 👌

[delvine]

I'd love to get in to one of these recycling business. I moved from trucking to waste disposal during covid and the amount of stuff we through away is insane and only made worse with so many home

[Maviel]

The fact that they dumped all those tires thinking it would grow into a reef was, even back then with their knowledge, utterly insane.

[astaridjatmiko]

i hope these recycling businesses will be thriving and followed by more people

I bought myself a lunch box a year ago, coming with a plastic knife, a fork/spoon, and a pair of chopsticks. I'm still using the same a year later, they're easy to clean off and the box is made to accomodate them when I take it. A year after, and a lot of lunches after, even if they go to the trash I won't feel like they would be wasted. Still, they're doing the job just fine.

I love when people come out with ways to reduce waste!

[scoobed]

can't believe I finished watching this, these vods are so satisfying to watch

[DeanTheDoctor]

These innovations need to be made headline news. 😎🌎💫

[ndutzz]

This is a beautiful documentary. It gives me hope that each one of us putting effort into recycling, one by one we will tackle the problem of waste in the world😀

[somethingsomething]

I went to go buy the chopstick coasters only to google it and realize that’s my city! Love it!

[kathleenkenna]

I had tears of joy when I saw this video! This is awesome. A game changer when it comes to keeping trash out of the ocean. Hope to see this type of machine at work in every city on all coasts around the world.

We did the eternal reef with my papi's remains. He lived in Florida. B4 we got on the boat n dropped it off some where off the coast of Florida (my mom knows the exact location) i shaded a piece of paper over the plaque on it n put it in a frame n have it on my shelf. It was really cool..

Sweden has always been great an burning most of the garbage we produce, and turn it into electricity, it's gotten so big, that most companies that produce electricity from garbage actually imports trash from Norway, Denmark and Finland.

I'm from Sweden, and I am actually happy that people have started to take care of the plastics and garbage that's getting thrown onto the streets and oceans, and use it to produce, etc. Electricity.

[RisyadHasbullah]

Incredible inventions! I hope people will start to realize about waste problem.

[eribertoacedo]

Personally I save my chopsticks for reuse I used it for all kinds of things I’m a painter used to stir paint, mix glue and various sorts of projects I do not waste them they’re really useful also mixing Apoxsee.

This is a genius idea. The “making is grow tiny plants if thrown away” doesn’t allow the product to ever be considered waste. It’s useful even without the consumer interacting with it.

[Mocha-Latte]

27:32 I like how you’re showing footage of farmers having to get rid of their crops because the pandemic ruined demand. They’re not throwing it out for shits and giggles.
