GOOD: Mister Trash Can
www.good.is While carbon emissions may be the current cause c�l�bre of the environmental movement, let’s not forget the more tangible waste products we are unleashing upon the earth. Annually, households and businesses throw out 251 million tons of trash. And while, not shockingly, the major offenders are industries such as mining, everyday American consumers are responsible for five pounds of trash a day. We’re resolving to watch our wastelines in 2009.

you don’t inject crap in to the earth… what is wrong with you?!
ill stop i sware
one you didnt understand what i said
i said I am not the MOON not god was a moon
whether or not you believe in it, its an expression and if people like you keep taking expressions seriously the english language will be another bore and ever argument would be lame because of stupid comebacks like involving the expression.
And anyways, what happened to freedom of speech, you don’t tell me what i can say or not. Nobody will kill me if i say “Nobody on earth is god”
Yes if you belive the moon created all life on earth and THE earth it would be the same… I’m atheist by the way
Just saying religion shouldn’t be used as any kind of argument, since it’s very dangerous to use religion as a es in a discussion – just saying people get killed for less.
i just said we’re not god…
which is an obvious fact
its like saying im not a moon :
Year but it’s the same with nazis one by itself is harmless but a army is pretty damn dangerous(in the same place).. and don’t bring god into this!
technically it is, we just moved all the bad stuff into some areas. Those bad stuff were always around just concentrated with other things. We aren’t god so we haven’t added anything to this world, everything we have has and will always be here, in one form or another
unless you fly it out of space or something
except we “extract” the bad parts from not so bad stuff, makeing it into cocentrated badness and dumping the concentrated badness to another place – wich’s not exactly is to move one thing to another place….
lol we arent adding more garbage to the earth, it was already there to begin with xP
So we are basically just putting things from one place to another, except we like destroying the earth while we do so
haha people that dont know what ton is are just stupid xD .
Lol ya or the sun
Send those trash to the mars or venus.
this is a cute way to present this vid
Actually, I am pretty sure it is the same plant, just different parts. May be wrong here though.
produced…which will most likely be thrown out in the worst way
x will then be shipped for a very long distance most likely
x will then be thrown out from the house
x will then lay for centuries on a landfill
so what’s the difference?
(I used x to replace the recycable item )
x doesn’t have to be manufactured again which will save a lot of money and waste that wont be produced
x wont have to be on a landfill where it can harm the ground water and take up land and be eaten by animals
I would be much happier if his Nobel medal was made of plastic.
Anyways…
“producing recycled paper uses less energy and water than harvesting, pulping, processing, and transporting virgin trees.”
Okay you mentioned recycling but how about from scratch?
the resource has to be exploited
x has to be taken out of it
x has to be cleaned
x has to be shiped to places where it will be manufactured
in the mean time…most likely chemicals will be used as well as water and waste will be
Why wouldn’t it take more energy to recycle? Imagine all the energy used to rinse out recyclables. To manufacture and distribute the plastic bags and containers people use to organize their recyclables. To transport the millions of bags of recycled goods to drop off points, then to sorting & recycle centers, then to manufacturers. Then the products have to be packaged and distributed all over again. That’s one huge carbon footprint. But don’t feel guilty. Al Gore’s full of shit anyway.
AND it decay’s!
it disintegrates
within a matter of months
so plastic bags and packaging wouldn’t be a problem if the trend caught on
but it’s expensive of course and thats one of the reasons why
Mind you, people
that there are now materials that seem to be plastic when they are actually made of sugar cane
or corn
or the stuff that looks like wheat
that can replace plastic and styraphone
nope
It DOESNT take more energy to recycle than to produce from raw materials
And how about the land fill issue?
Even if the plant Hemp was smokable, the products made of hemp are made of hemp stalk, which wouldn’t be the drug part. The LEAF is what would be smoked, so your Hemp made products are fine and “Drug Free.”
I’m sure the kid is smart but hes just reading something someone else has written.
Genious kid!
…smart kid
Thanks. I guess I shouldn’t trust the simpson’s anymore. Remember that episode when they burned the purse made of hemp?
