Pete Seeger is a good human.

But if you're in a position to donate to them, you still should. Their funding has been cut.

I have a 2017 Chevy Volt plug-in hybrid; meaning it has an electric engine and a small gas engine. When I bought it in 2019 it got 60 miles of electric. Now it gets about 30. You can't buy a new PHEV that has more than 35 miles of electric. Electric car batteries are the only technology that gets worse with science. But it sure does encourage buying more cars. Thanks Corporation.

This is the one example of a corporation doing something that technically benefits people in addition to their shareholders and customers.

Slay!!!

Go back to a simple cotton sheet to wrap the body. I mean...does it really matter what you're buried in? Dig a hole, chuck me in and backfill it. Go to the pub and have a whiskey for me. Job done.

When you need a truck, but don't have 'inadequate downstairs issues'.

Brilliant!

What I think put into words for me!! Fantastic!

We should feed the Kardashians to the poor...

This is called socialism. "If you give the most help to those who need the most help, you improve the situation for everyone."

This is awesome, I've got to try this.

"Should This Be Implemented Throughout The World?" You mean offering paying jobs to homeless people to help them get back on their feet? I realize picking up garbage isn't a dream job for most, but it's a start to get them food, a place to stay and be able to look at other jobs that won't see them as "homeless" but as actual "potential employees"

There will come a point where the impoverished will no longer have money to buy from the rich, and the whole thing will just collapse. I'd hope that the issues will get solved before it comes to that, but looking at the world's current state...

Our city has a paint place like that. Usually enough for a landlord to paint a house purple with green trim. and another one yellow with orange trim.

Quite normal in Europe

The streets aren't that clean in Germany... You have tons of broken glass bottles on the cycling paths, for some reason.

In Mich, when you buy a bottle of pop or something similar, there is a 10 cent deposit on the bottle. When you return the bottle, you get your deposit back. But this still does not prevent people throwing out their bottles in the environment.

A lot of US states also do this, though it's usually only for like 5 or 10 cents.

This is how it is in my state too. The US actually started this type of deposit/return system decades ago.

Alberta has the same program, nice if you use it. Too many people just toss their empties so the homeless folks can pick them up and get the cash.

Only a dime in Canada. But refunds for returned bottles has been around my whole life. When I was a kid, my grandfather would give us a dollar when we went to visit. We could get a bag of chips and a bottle of pop with it, then return the bottle and get some candy.

We used to do that in the US. Until young people got too lazy to bend over and pick something up. Now only homeless people do it. Mostly to buy booze and d***s.

Seriously? Oregon started doing this more than 50 years ago.

We have these now in Melbourne, Australia... they don't take everything (no wine bottles and a couple of other things) but it's a good start!

Also in Romania, is the same sistem!

In germany the streets are clean - come on. More jokes please,

In Germany you are paying $0.25 more for each purchase of bottled drink. You can get your money back by returning empty bottle. It is the same fact, but sounds a little different

We have this in some supermarkets in France but they give you 0.02€/bottle but they don't take all the bottles and you have to clean the bottle, quit the cap and leave the plastic around the bottle. I stopped using it after 2 rounds.

and the Netherlands is in some deep state of crisis since the cans are refund too.

"Clean" is a debatable term to use though

Pretty common in the U.S. as well

1liter or over bottles are 0,4€ in Finland, smaller ones 0,2€ and the cans are 0,15€

This is also a thing up in the Northern states. Its a neat concept.

Had that 50 years ago, in both the UK and North America. Albeit, it wasn't electronic.

Out local Tesco did have a machine like this which was great until some bright spark at Tesco HQ decided that the machine should only accept a certain size and shape of plastic bottle which happened to be the 500ml Tesco own bottle water. Then the machine was removed as no-one used it anymore

You can also use it as a regular candle should you ever need one.

How is this something "wrong with the world"? That's a good idea.

Vaping is stupid and this is super stupid. This must be a bad joke or a nightmare.

Coca Cola tastes nicer from a glass bottle than from a plastic one.

bless the people who spent their time cleaning it up

The difference is because, in the USA, capitalism is god. Waste is OK if someone can profit.

I've got.....$1?

Good on her 😊

We had a couple of decades to fix the crisis in the 70's. (Thanks Reagan /s) A decade or so to mitigate the crisis in the 90's or not hit any tipping points. Now we have a 'decade' to keep the crisis from becoming 'too bad'

There are valid reasons for dumpster diving. But as a society, we are trained to think it's 'gross'. Just thoroughly wash after. 🤷‍♂️

I did this with beer growlers for a while. It's a fun, sustainable way to get craft beer, but then most places would not fill a growler if it wasn't their own, URG!!

Ocean Cleanup has found the fishing industry is way more at fault than plastic bottles.

They are hanging on because new cars expect you to have an I.T. degree to operate them and sell subscriptions for every ridiculous add on.

Nice, we went from seeing cig buts everywhere to vapes everywhere.
