19:22 "the focus is on the environment as a whole (...) the ecosystem itself takes care of the crop. we don't fertilize the crop, we feed the soil life."

I discovered you today. Am from Kenya and my life goal is to have a sustainable ecosystem in kenya or rather Africa. Kenya herself has the national grid at 90% renewable energy becouse our power mostly comes from hydro and geo thermo. Power is abit expensive here at almost $22c per kwh and alot of peole are switching to solar. Since power is about 50% of the co2 production, i think we can adopt more on this sustainable ways… thanks for the great insight

You should read 'One straw revolution' by Masanobu Fukuoka. It covers such practices very well. That books covers so many more ideas for natural farming.

My question in reusable systems is that mayority are lookin for tin cans or aluminum containers while a well made plastic bottle could do the job, just like the shampoo example. Ive seen studies that show plastic manufacture has a lower environmental footprint than metal or glass. Is this true?

[gettintherejanice]

I love this the question is though what do I do? How do I or any individual personally switch to being circular is that a thing at this point of do we still need more people coming up with systems before we can say we are a part of this and are we talking about a did half economy in terms of actual money or just products and resources

ASUS has also been reducing e-waste and working on digital inclusion for years!

I don’t really like using circular economy as an excuse to charge people a monthly rental fee for a product, i would still want the option to own my product while still having the option to dispose of it safely so that it can be reused, but everything else seems like a good idea to me.

Oh Dear Nick
Sorry but you didn’t get your facts correct about the paramo tee shirt, this is NOT circular and your info about pfoc, s was partially in error.

[Mrwhoknows]

you can’t just have 500k people Recyceln in a World of 7 Milliarden people. Yes it will go up still.

[Recupera]

How many aluminium cans are out there in nature? NONE. Why?

[katesisco]

Capitalism has failed to provide anything but extraction' a STASIS economy is the answer. Planned cities that reach a maximum growth is the answer.

[awusyagamatelo]

This discussion is a bit full of aimless rhetoric

[Madronaxyz]

The audio is very poor and I cannot understand most of what they were saying

[Recupera]

For me, your argument that you will not recycle out of the problem seems a bit of a strawman fallacy. You create a vision of what you think recycling is, how it works, to tell with YOUR vision it is not sufficient. But in MY view, the plastics problem is caused not by the material, but by the improper handling of the material. Of course, you could BAN these improper handling and have ALL plastics recyclable in a close loop. NO emission. NO material being sent to landfills or being trough into nature.

Eurgh, cringeworthy, how are people going to take this stuff seriously if you can’t even make a video properly? I’ve seen better production in Tik Toks.
