the whole
0:01
reduce reuse recycle starts with reduce
0:05
and
0:06
the level of focus on reduce is not
0:09
there and that would really
0:11
solve a lot of problems
0:13
and save a lot of money
0:15
so people should focus more on reducing
0:17
their energy use
0:19
having smaller cars smaller houses
0:21
things of that nature so we can
0:24
consume less and end up with less in the
0:26
landfills
0:27
yeah what do you this is just my
0:30
curiosity
0:33
what are the things that would surprise
0:35
people
0:36
that they do on a day-to-day basis or
0:39
consume on a day-to-day basis that has a
0:42
negative impact on the environment
0:45
uh so like myself i got an electric car
0:49
like many other people a lot of people
0:51
have electric cars and we think we're
0:53
doing this great thing which we are
0:55
relative to having a gas burning vehicle
0:58
but
0:59
every time we drive
1:00
there is plastic from the tires or
1:03
rubber that's effectively plastic and it
1:05
ends up in the environment and it's
1:07
gonna you know eventually end up in our
1:09
ecosystem and
1:11
through time into our food chains
1:13
through our supply chains to that
1:15
process so
1:16
just thinking like can i walk to the
1:18
grocery store those are the types of
1:20
decisions
1:21
we should try and focus
1:22
more energy on and
1:24
you know like trying to get people
1:27
in supply chain
1:29
decision making
1:30
positions of power
1:32
to change how much plastic is actually
1:34
generated because when i order from
1:36
amazon or other retailers there's always
1:39
bubble wrap there's always bubble wrap
1:41
that you don't need bubble wrap for like
1:43
it's a book
1:44
i don't need bubble wrap throw the book
1:46
you can throw my mailbox like i have a
1:48
locker here not too worried about it
1:51
so much waste on that front so i wish
1:54
we focused a little bit more on that
1:56
part
