This Is What Environmentalists Get Wrong

Stores ban plastic bags when everything in the store is packaged in plastic

I'm an old man, and I grew up in the country. I love to hike, fish, camp, and spend time around the campfire. I was taught to always leave an area better than you found it. We should all be good stewards wherever we go. I have carried a large trash bag with me when I hike to pick up trash left behind by others, but mainly it isn't hikers trashing our parks, it those barely leave the parking lot. Old tires, mattresses, and household junk damning up creeks bothers me. Most of us are limited in what we can do, but the governments rash approach will hurt and cost more people their lives than it will help.

The first Earth Day was engrossed with global freezing and that there would be a new ice age by 1995 if the combustible engine wasn't eliminated. Then the ozone was being eliminated and then acid rain would turn the world into a desert. Then came global warming and my 6th grade teacher read us a study that Miami would be under water by the year of 2000 unless we got rid of automobiles. See the pattern? Environmental predictions are always wrong.

I can have respect for people who's goal in their activism is concentrated on stopping completely unnecessary pollution. It's the Climate Change lunacy that I have zero repect for. Dirty water, unbreathable air, littered landscape....needs to be addressed. My steak is going to warm the planted....get real.

So it turns out paper straws are worse for the environment…but hey, at least some people feel better about themselves.

What about the thick impenetrable plastic packaging companies encase all the products with. What about stop making cheap plastic products that start failing as soon as you use it . If straws are bothering you , try tipping the cup and pouring the liquid in your mouth.

“Al Gore documentary”……..🤣

Thanks jordon…keep up awesome work for all Canadians. I’m with you all the way.

48% of plastic in the oceans are discarded nets. The rest is from certain countries either dumping in the ocean or in rivers that feed the oceans.

Every ridiculous action these activists demand is the equivalent of pissing in the ocean and expecting to change the tide.

“Felt accomplishment” I like this phrase. It’s why I work with my hands for a living. I tried sales and management for a minute—it was not satisfying to me.

New Jersey banned plastic bags, plastic straws etc....but has more garbage than any other state 😂

Turns out they're wrong about everything. Shocking.

Plastic water bottles. Until THOSE are attacked for the unbelievable waste they are, it is hard to take anyone seriously with the single-use plastic argument. Obviously, the 'bottled water' lobbyists are very powerful

When I first studied environmental science I got so negative and anti-human in a way. That was a huge mistake. Being an environmentalist does not have to mean anti-human. Being a humanitarian and environmentalist is absolutely possible.

People have to forget about recycling and start thinking about compostable materials

2:20 THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT ACTIVISM THAT seems to have to do withwith changing other people and that’s definitely a MORAL HAZARD

What happened to the hole in the ozone layer, and acid rain? The problem is that "the forces that be" will ALWAYS find a way to control behavior for their own benefit and profit. The people who are running things have no interest in the well being of regular people.

why are Environmentalists NOT pushing the use of hemp it is 100% recyclable . you can make plastics , batteries, building materials , medicines and the list goes on .
