I think that the person who made those coconut charcoal things & the farmer who makes the fruit waste logs would be great friends.

[reikibee]

This is something all countries should be looking into doing. All these stories should also be shown in all schools around the world and people should be trained up into doing these jobs. Machine doing the hard part of the labor but the amount of jobs that could be created by all these amazing people is endless. Well done to them all.

[gordonpeden]

Thia is one of the most uplifting thing I've seen on YouTube, Great to see these young, imaginative people make a genuine difference to the planet and communities. God bless them.

[whyistheway]

This is one of the most educational and inspiring videos I have seen on youtube in such a long time. Image as young ones get older and being exposed to or who have role models like you see here can inspire them to think outside the box and develop new skills, ideas and technologies that are based on recycling waste into new products. Man I myself have a dozen ideas myself just from watching this. Truly amazing work.

[diannedelledera]

I used to buy candle holders, bowls, plates, etc made from recycled glass . I hope artist will find you and buy your blue and other colored glass/sand. Thank you Fran and Max for taking on this massive project!

[valkyrie]

Yes, yes, YES!!! We are all scrounging for resources; I LOVE to see people able to create things from trash! We need MORE ideas like these!!!

[absurdragon]

that guy who made the biodegradable food trays, and payed his workers a living wage!! faith restored

[janetwhite]

The hair thing is GENIUS! Kudos, y'all.
This is so inspiring. What a brilliant fellow making the briquets.

[ProlificInvention]

This entire film is filled with unrecognized heroes in my opinion, people making a difference.

[Nataliahr]

This is amazing to see. I always see/ pick up so much trash just on walks and it just goes to the trash it’s so depressing to see. So exciting to see things being done. And hopefully keeps on going. 🙏🏼

[dmoffatt]

I'm so impressed with those Kenyan artisans who have found an environmentally sustainable way of producing art, reusing foam or rubber flip-flops. Bravo 👏 👏

[GreaterWorldPeace]

These people are letting their brilliance shine through and the intention they carry to make a better world is contagious. 1💙

[Bzcenci]

This video shows that there are creative ideas for recycling everywhere. In the "underdevelopped world" (as it was known in my student days), what is scarce are the financial means to develop and/or buy the necessary machines to do the hard work. Those manual hardworking men and women are heroes of a healthy conservation of our planet.

[mickeymoneybags]

The flip flop art has me floored. Its so beautiful and its so amazing to repurpose and such amazing detail. I want a full size car now lol

[backbencher]

Every single person involved in it is a real life hero.

[xXGENDAMAGEXx]

It’s such a beautiful thing to see people actually coming up with new ways to recycle more materials. They throw it all in a Landfill here in Middle TN.

[purplethumb]

Imagine the difference these people and their ingenuity could make if they had the scale of equipment/machinery needed to help them on a mass scale. I would be happy to pay a little bit more for the sugarcane paper products. I wish the US restaurants would do more to use/produce products such as this. I thoroughly love the people and every single idea/product of theirs in this video.

[MelissaSue]

The hair bit is awesome 👏🏼 I’ve heard hair was used in oil spills but never saw it in action! That’s amazing

[krisztinarozsos]

This was amazing! 👏Humans are so creative. All is not lost.

[tcftyrannosapiensbonsai]

This movie is balm for my soul.
Great respect to all of those who are able to convert the ongoing global socio-ecological catastrophy into creative projects instead of falling into deppession and agony!
Thank You!
