Re: Plastic Pollution in Our Oceans



Uploaded by: usenetposts
Video Description:
Huliganov expands on the problem of plastic accumulating in the seas and urges us to find and fund an adequate technological solution.
This does not mention all the things we should be doing to reduce plastic use and demand for plastics at the start, as other people are talking about that already. I agree with that also, but in addition we need to get large scale solutions to removing from the sea what is already in there.

That I agree with, ... ( 1 year ago by usenetposts)
That I agree with, we should certainly do that, but it won't help what is out there already, and if we can get the dust we can at least get some larger particles. I understand your sarcasm, what I don't understand is the reason for it, when all I am doing is raising awareness about something which will impact negatively on the quality of all our lives.
The reason is this: ... ( 1 year ago by enfathom)
The reason is this: Currently, even with the pollution problems that the world has, responsible countries are not being impacted substantially - and the likelihood that they ever will be is slim. Similar to the global warming issue. Your concern is no doubt genuine, but the world has far more worthwhile problems to deal with for such a high cost (rogue/tyrannical governments, and the like).
I really don't see ... ( 1 year ago by usenetposts)
I really don't see how the one aspect contradicts the other. I am not asking governments for money to deal with this issue. Governments can keep on dealing with rogue states, I am all in favour. I am asking people of an entrepreneurial bent to look at harvesting marine plastic and to look at its commercial uses
After much effort, ... ( 1 year ago by enfathom)
After much effort, we can't even turn a profit recycling plastics. The only reason it is done is because government forces taxpayers to subsidize it (instead of relegating it to the trash). And you think a scenario in which a company must go *find* the plastic to recycle is feasible? Look, I don't like plastic in the oceans any more than you, but the only way to accomplish what you want is by throwing away money.
What about all ... ( 1 year ago by usenetposts)
What about all these new PET recycling schemes? They are not subsidised these days in most cases, although there are countries where the supplier of the good pays as in the case of DSD in Germany.
It is profitable to re-use, at least for burning, the plastic part of poly-alu from tetrapacks separated in the course of reclaiming the more expensive aluminum.
PET recycling is ... ( 1 year ago by enfathom)
PET recycling is relatively low cost, but still produces slightly more expensive plastics. This is a cost typically absorbed by companies wanting to appear ecologically and environmentally friendly, who in turn pass the cost to consumers. As fuel prices increase, PET plastics may end up profitable in and of themselves, but that industry still relies on concerned citizens taking the time to separate out their plastics for recycling (thereby providing easy access to recyclable materials).
All right, but all ... ( 1 year ago by usenetposts)
All right, but all that still doesn't mean that with the right approach to trawling for plastic it cannot be done, and done with enough of a commercial as well as ethical angle as to be interesting to business.

I will be part of your initiative! I am neither scientist or boat owner but regularly glean as much plastics from the 2+ miles of beaches I live beside in Scotland, the world is suffocating under a thin layer of plastics! thank you for thinking about this
Glad to hear your ... ( 1 year ago by usenetposts)
Glad to hear your support. I was also pleased to hear that the government is taxing plastic carrier bags and insisting on 10 pence per bag as an environmental fee. We need multi-use bags from natural fibers.
I agree, tho ... ( 1 year ago by fan1b0z)
I agree, tho plastic bags are still free in my part of the world. I hear about more direct action being taken like taking off all excess packaging and leaving it at the checkout

Viktor, Please stick to singing 'SONKS'. If you were really serious about this ecological issue you would NOT be voicing your concerns through the FAKE guise of a RUSSIAN man.

So what's comic relief all about, then?
Of course I am serious. Only anally retarted people can't be funny and serious at the same time.
I believe the word ... ( 1 year ago by godadameve)
I believe the word you are stretching for is 'retarded'? Just thought I'd return the favor for that 'chutzpa' correction, 'professor'? Thanks. :)
I would never ... ( 1 year ago by usenetposts)
I would never accuse someone of being anally retarded. I said retarted and I meant it. If a person is retarded, it's not their fault. But if a person tarts out their anal area, and moreover does it repeatedly, then they have to take responsibility for it.
That's strange...I ... ( 1 year ago by godadameve)
That's strange...I CANNOT find the word 'retarted' in any dictionary I have!But enough about semantics...I cannot believe you were recently withing just a few miles of my home!
You live in the Mid ... ( 1 year ago by usenetposts)
You live in the Mid West? Anyway, I don't want to make an issue about "retarted" as it is a neologism, and most dictionaries haven't caught up with it yet. In fact Freud, who initiated anal talk in the first place, talked about being "anal retentive", so I suppose the past participle of that would be "anally retentionalisticalated", or something.
Yes, Professor. ... ( 1 year ago by godadameve)
Yes, Professor. While I do not live in such a glorious place as South Bend, my humble little town is also quite nice. We have a beautiful downtown and a magnificent lake front as well as incredibly rich and ethnically diverse neighborhoods.Yes, my quaint little town is small and humble but very nice. Oh, yes, you might have heard of it...Chicago? :)
Question; Are those ... ( 1 year ago by godadameve)
Question; Are those 'Bugs Bunny' front teeth real? Or are they a fake prop you use for the Viktor Huliganov character? I haven't noticed them in any of your other videos where you get such extreme closeups in you web cam?

You've got a treat coming up - My next Huliganov American Experience video is Chicago!

My teeth are real, and your only guarantee that I really am ethnically British.

No, because nobody cares enough to get on board the project. I can't do this alone.
