You should know appropriately enough, I'm Josh clause. With me. As always, is that's right, could be factors and other been what well Christmas holidays write another listeners think through the magic of items that we never leave studio at all, but in fact we ve been offer a couple weeks in our back. Yet we do you know we ve, actually gun offers to be rescued from a couple of hours. A really because from Algeria one eye a year on our Facebook page. I think I said that were not allowed to leave. I could get a prettier response. Ok, so I'm just for Peter Cash. Oh, it's come on buttering them up for shrimp cocktail, your tail exactly! I can finally get the shrimp cocktail chuck! Yes, do you remember back in the nineties.

The Hague for you now you don't remember the nine is now it's not a haze. I do those of weirdos, So, how do I was studying such ok so you to remember the nineties, okay so check, you are a child of the recycling generation. To remember when that things blew up came out to know I do my brother now we're talking about this here today, with the initial yeah we work with the crying Indian in the seventies, which was yet just about littering right when the good old days when you register trash like in Ankara man, the other walking due partly to steer a wise man said so not take. Do you ever see anybody in their car just throwing something

occasionally in the oil your blood took. What do you do? We have an early their unaware up. I hit them with my car. Ok, so you talking about the of the american Indian who is crying because the trash right and then later on recycling became like newspapers can aware. I remember it starting it did. As a matter of fact, the first curbside newspaper recycling programme started nineteen. Seventy three rain University City Missouri, I believe or Missouri as my moments of, but it took a little while for it to take off right from seventy three to the nineties, but in the nineties really gained traction gained ground. It did, and if you remember correctly have to have like all these different bins for this coloured glass right, this kind of plastic or paper, and then all of a sudden it it's just my way there, like that stood on one been and because recycling seem. So imagine,

I know I always wondered like: is the stuff really getting recycled ray and then when, when they weight to this whole beauty, just single been hodgepodge of everything like well, that's it I'm not even trying to keep a very tense bet there that they're not dumping this stuff, Frank so arm. It turns out that they actually are that you can pretty much guarantee Almost all of what you are putting in recycling been is getting recycled, correct. That thing that, with off, where all the sudden we're just throw. Without one being called single stream recycling. That's of recycling technology, which is often causes Is it a lot easier for people that maybe wouldn't be prone to recycle cause? They didn't want to separate everything. Yeah, so yeah Zalzal throws pain,

Definitely, and I just heard on one been they come and get it in the back. In the day there used to be a lot of human contact with your garbage that was being recycled great, but these technological advances. So imagine that's. Ok, there's like a this conveyor belt that you're recyclables are dumped onto they get through this weird gauntlet. There's like magnets, that attract like tin cans, sure and then drop amended into being right. Lasers, lasers, always you know a personal favorite of mine. They there their infrared lasers, that are used to scan the wavelength. That's emitted by different types of plastic, right here appropriately taken off. I can very well that's awesome, so crazy and then there's there's others that have puffs of air. I can only get like, like carbolic toilet paper, pay, retell role, right, puffs it off right, all your stuff, going through

salted? And you know the way it reacts to these assaults are going to end up in the right kind of been so in a very little human contact, her much less than you did before, and so on that that should put the single stream fear, terrestrial I've heard people, you feel commoner. Well, I never really doubted it too much, but I do know people that think it's a liberal conspiracy and that nothing is being recycled so will actually theirs As an economist I can remember his name, but he went to the trouble of proving that recycling is actually more harmful than good, really yeah. As far as like an environmental cost benefit not actually more harmful, because I think it took into account like the all the gas that the trucks version, that kind of thing and in the electricity used in the recycling plants he came to conclude

it's actually more harmful than good. I don't necessarily subscribed there. Right was entry is contradicted by more than one person yeah, but he was a respected economists. He wasn't, as you know, some crack potter, Joe smoke might know five. I know exactly what he may have very well being a conservative economist because, as you said, recycling is a big liberal. Conspiracy reflect some people's eyes exactly few, I would say probably a lot of people on board now and in the two thousands exactly, but I was,

Conversely, to my father the other day, and he is the early Elvis exactly he was down Ashley's, he was gonna. You know at the other, equally real point with accurate, sues, very lucid, and here he and I were talking. He said that the people at his recycling center- they don't have curbside, pick up where he lives up mistakes. They they take their their steps, the centre and that they were told by one of the employees Works there that there they dont recycling, where these take us up to the top. Really, yes- and I told him that the man at the recycling centres and total idiot right and basically dead, wanted to know why, as is want, and I told him that it's just an awful business model right so think about this. There's this thing called the tipping fee and in two thousand eight. The tipping fee is what you pay to dump your stuff at a land

right and it's usually per tonne in the? U S and two thousand eight it was about forty two bucks on average fur prevent per tonne of everything anything you want to come damp. They they weigh it by time and then you pay for it but right on unable to leave your window info another there They have been the sum that our kind of tranquil quite nice year. They have ponds, and thus egoism, never everyone swimming, but there's like rolling hills filled with garbage grass over the smell I've been to somewhere there actually going to the effort to make it look decent, but yeah when you turn around, there's like some rescue refrigerator with like a corpse senators, and so they can be depressing place here. They stick. But there's there's that tipping fee right, surely drive up in there's a scale that embedded into the ground it weighs you and you pay appropriately. Some states are more than others, I think, for months, tipping fee the average to be in the states. Ninety six bucks a ton and I think, ok

was on the low and it's like fourteen or seventeen bucks a time right. So clearly, the more you charge, shipping fees that more people are gonna, recycle exactly. But the point is as that their because you have to pay to dont. This stuff will at the end you not charging anybody money to come drop authors. I growls all your doing. Throwing your money at the window that you rivalry empty at your bank, account into a dump truck and get into landfill right. Did you explained this? Your father? I did actually you dont know this, but you are trapped right in the middle of a recreation of this conversation we had here so that that's number one. The other thing is that you you can actually get. Money from recyclables commodity. Yet so what I mean? What happens when you take your recyclables to to likely Centre and that their diverted from the dont think, God to you, know a recycling plant. What happens I mean? What are they get turned into?

well, they get turned eventually back into the original raw material, which is a commodity. Fourth money, like you, said, They have every incentive to recycle so like that mixed office paper is being turned into a cardboard. Maybe your old newspapers actually are really very commonly used for cardboards right, like that or the plastic bottles are being turned into like a fleece jacket and actually there's a plastic bottle. You want to avoid a few were Tipp it upside down and you look that's where you gonna, find your cycling symbol right in the number direct, yes If you see a triangular recycling symbol with three inside right that you should We do this, while you're at the store it look at the bottle and if you see a three put it back right and keep looking until you and you know the laundry detergent or whatever you're you're looking for that, doesn't have it It has a wanderer two or something like that.

The sudden that one with the three will go away eventually right Pvc are no easy as one the big evils, because it is an impossible I already did not really hearted very very that the ways you can recycler things you can recycle enter. Very, very limited right, like maybe a plastic park bench, or something like that right, because other additives, if I so many additives implicitly, is actually there's. There's hope. Websites and organisations dedicated to getting rid of pvc is number one. It's it's impossible recycles it's. That does generally end up in the damp and let you take it to a special. Recycling plant in number two. It contains thou and thalamus. It depends on the plastic thel like a softer right. The two to soften plastics are like you're vinyl shower curtain. There has now made it You put it in its search, smelling, weird, that's the foul nights and they're really harmful. Percentage abet- children's toys

malleable Wednesday chew on bad news right. Pvc fellow might not get stuff. So you start doing this at the store. If you start, if you start buying things that are made in it, liver in pvc containers Right Peter he's gonna get away the dinosaur, pre, quick, ok. So you want to look at what you want to look out for pvc right right, who I know we're talking about raw materials back barometers,

that's right, you're, so recyclables are commodity because their broken back down into their original composition, basically right exactly, ok and then their sole for four big though it can be big, though. Actually I was reading an MP are article and arm the price per tonne that wholesale purchasers of of recycled mixed office paper were paying in this this past summer. It was like ninety bucks, a time really big money, and these are these are companies, thereby hundreds of thousands of tonnes of month. Rom so is big business to recycle and by the fall it had dropped to nothing because even in a recycling is subject to inflation and gas. Fuel prices will not just at the economy, peoples that buying goods through so less goods were manufactured, but it's also because, as is its subject to economic

Whims. It's also subject to consumers right right so like if you, if you only by products that are sold in recyclable, are recycled materials that are made from recycled materials. Execrate you, the people who make these things are you going to start buying more more recycled stature because it that's what they consumers want and if you stop buying stuff it's made with virgin raw materials and all of a sudden, these trees are being saved or more plastic is being made right and it so it's kind of cool. They know that you can have the yeah and oppressing them effect, you can also have an effect by making sure we're doing your best to make sure that everything that you are putting a recycling then gets recycled and one of the ways we can do that is by cleaning the stuff. I know that reference. The Minnesota in the art

and I believe that the same here, Georgia about Peter boxes of her that pizza boxes, it won't recycle, Cosette, cheese and Gary's and stuff on actually just thrown away now dare near. That's very good idea and I Do we really java cleaning out o my glass products just because it stinks yeah and you don't want? You know that barbecues us smelling after a few days? So that's reason idea, but it turns out as a better chance of getting recycle. It does in any view, kind of look at it. Like your beer- barbecue sauce, ready, look at it. You will see that it's not just the bottle, barbecues after several components to delay the lid, maybe that little ring that held the wind play frightened safety see all right. It's not just kind of dangling around the neck, thereby the label right people able, if you break this thing down into its parts, your increasing its chances of being really is

sure I know that you having listened to hang about the labels paper, but the bottles glass in the cap has placed the true. So you separate it you're, making it easier for the people they recycling plant or, I should say the magnets in lasers, at their cycling plant right and it's it's going to be likely to be recycled right and want become a residual which, I believe, is what the refuge.

How did they cannot recycle, provide right end? They wanna any. Any recycling company would want to cut down on residual right yeah, because it's just lost money. They gonna do a lot to kind of make. It may get as much money as possible by recycling myself as possible, but you can definitely home right now. That's great! I agree. So does it take us to plastic and where that might hinder yeah, you know. Plastic is kind of big problem right, not just pc, but you know: there's some plastic there's a lot easier to recycle than others, but it doesn't always get recycled in when it doesn't get recycled. It can end up in some really screwed up places right, most specifically the ocean. Yes

what a lot of stuff ends up in the ocean with this, and I have a staff for you if you're into that, you know I'm into your suggestion, the: U N De La study, their environmental programme and they seventy thousand six every square. The ocean, has forty six thousand pieces of floating plastic in it that awful forty six thousand pieces? It is pursued Roma and of the more than two hundred billion pounds of plastic that we produce each year. All over the world does not United States about percent of that ends up in the ocean and a lot of that ends up on the floor of the ocean. Not just a lot of seventy percent of it, ends up on the floor of the ocean. Yes of every square mile has forty six thousand pieces floating sure. That's thirty percent, was actually in the ocean,

It is on the ocean for our friends. I want to tell you about love book, the very easy way to personalize a book to someone you love in three easy steps.

It's what its plastic gray embrace out. Super wonderful material so useful, but yes, it doesnt biodegrade right. It does breakdown, it photo degrades when it doesnt breakdown molecular early. In India, simpler compounds that can be absorbed by nature teaches breakdown in smaller and smaller pieces of the same thing conveniently bite size pieces, which is one of the big problem. Yet were there call the mermaids tears or noodles yeah? about two years are one: that's probably the saddest thing I've ever heard him effectively. It is almost as bad as the american Indian Cry Ass, a mermaid here, What happens? Is the stuff in the ocean and filter feeders, like our in the whale shark and smaller catfish they take the stuff and they think it's food seagulls albatross they eat? The stuff, then, it ends up. You know killing a large area. We have but wait. There's more.

Save him and choking hazard our you know any problems, digestive problems that can occur these little mermaids tears actually have this added property of attracting toxins. Oh yes, point just one for me so, like the anything any talks, and it comes in contact with the ocean economically drawn up to it. It sucks it up, absorbs hangs on to it and then, when its eaten rank, little poison pills, basically pray floating in thinking in the ocean, and this is all over the place, but there's actually. This is there's a place in the Pacific Ocean startling to me it is place in the Pacific in between Japan in California right and it is called the North Pacific. The sub Tropic gyre right and basically gyros just its is circulating yet for area of water. But this is this: isn't like a funnel it's much more wide than that. Actually

One of these jars is twice the size of Texas Anna, this this sub tropical. Gyre, the one in the North Pacific sexually, there's two in their connected by a six thousand long subtropical com. In its own right, six hundred miles of basically trash and other things yet making its way from one to the other. This is where the garbage goes on this. The garbage that if you have a cigarette later- and it goes out or it comes out of your pocket because you had it in your bathing suit when you jumped in right, May it will likely end up in this huge garbage patch there's a garbage patch in the Pacific Ocean that twice the size of tat. And it's a kind of slowly sitting there turning That makes you actually there's there's two version There's a western and eastern by just one of them is twice as exactly in that's their connected by the little LE trash trail. The six thousand mile terrestrial- and this is

having you could say something of an impact on some of the island, the and change in the area. Right Hawaii on some of the wilds of em are some of them. Have beaches that feature five to ten feet of trash and over ten feet deep and plastic, saying is what I call it the little lanyard aids tears. I know that the turn into these really tiny, tiny bit that you just can't do anything about where the Cancun is mixed in with the beat so sad its bed is the de. There is one heartening thing all this to the Great Pacific garbage patch material aid cannot be lining, it can be reduced and the reason it can be reduced because I think Edi per cent of the trash in the ocean starts on way rising like oceangoing vessels going out and dumping bright. You know in this gyre anything like its ports there and its usually from land.

Did you hear me it's sad and away because it's coming from us, but it is good to know that something can change about that right because its everyday people who are doing this and yet not you know some faces corporation. It's not the people who were duping us into thinking that, where our stuff is being recycled there actually taking it in dumping in the Pacific right, there's something you can do. You can not used plastic grocery bags anymore, assure the great eyes very popular. Now you can recycle absolutely everything you can. Even if you have eco anxiety, which we talked about you can follow, are you can walk up and down the street and We are seeing a water bottles, are the trash and universal sure or you could charter helicopter him fly out of the giant the work at this trip. So that's just the tip of the iceberg right on the and the and you know, recycling and the world's biggest landfill is the Great Pacific garbage patch,

and we got a couple of articles on parade anyway. This is a dual gases on. What is the first time ever. We hope you like it. You can read both of these articles. Going to U r handy, search bar and typing in world's biggest landfill recycling reality do that it has the ports and shock we have little was normal. We do my favorite part of the show so I did a judge. We have an instrument for some perfections action and start off and in with traction, The few we had a recent podcast on body armor, which was a special request from a soldier, Anderson and Iraq and first correction is on electric motors back as we didn't have, as we learn at his rank. Ass large ass, a sergeant part of the force.

And third armoured cavalry regiment- works on the aged. Sixty forty turbine engine, which the little googling and that's in the Apache helicopter Sweet he's got a very good job. And I thank them for the for the project and some people wrote him because we're talking about the spider silk being made from goat recurring, conceive of how that would happen exactly thought of it coming out of its very air or what was recycling, listen analysis, yeah, they ve, actually genetically engineered goats to produce a height or silk hat is, and I know he get. Maybe their hair grows like that. I don't know where the silken kimono worker, so we did not know. We put the call out to our listeners and because her smart and awesome. We had a bunch of people right in and it turns out that the spider silk is actually aided in their milk

go to milk, so weird and is very strong and apparently it's compatible. The human body so can also be used for artificial limbs. Sweet sound. A few names to give people there do knickknack cracking of wines. Will North Carolina Kimberly, Fletcher, Amber California, Jeff View of the earth loud not see where you from leaned forward hostage from California, Michael, very sick Matt Jensen of New York shot Cashman, who just wrote in like literally ten minutes before he went on one final person was unnamed and my favorite because or she because the email simply said the wine it may have been from God himself. I will take you, God and all the rest of you for the question. You got some more while just one more small, quick correction. We did have a viewer, I'm sorry, but your mail on a recent by gas,

butchered, the name and ginger this person costs costs. I said something like stall of Wisconsin and its. Female. I think we should cause yell, we're really sorry about that cause. I don't know why we just automatically suitor may right, and so it's actually cost bait stop and she's. Iran were very happy for and we're going if I was yet.
