you ruin the earth, the earth will ruin you.
Unfortunately the same problem here in the Philippines plastic everywhere😞
She must wear mask.
after a scandal in 2019 Philippine Law does not allow waste importation any more
Unbelievable that hundreds of thousands of acres of the best rainforest on planet earth was allowed to be replaced with palm oil farms, shame on these companies which pillage the land and kill the orangutans. The whole island of Borneo should be a conserved and protected land.
RIP earth? 😢
pure horror
So we use Indonesia as a dumping ground…..the influencers from around the world buy their rice paddies to build their fancy homes on ….the rich (government ..politicians) get richer and the poor get kicked to the curb…..there is hardly any Indonesia 🇮🇩 restaurants left they are all catering for these so call influencers….that only care about themselves…..very sad…..
It's so hard to watch this video. It's the same in Vietnam too. People cut down a lot of trees, the trash is all over the place 🙁
this video cannot be watched in indonesia :"
Invest the money to clean up the plastic pollution in Indonesia 🇮🇩? It’s the 2nd polluted country after China 🇨🇳😔😔😔
I see a lot of volunteer groups cleaning during the weekends on You Tube …I think it is the only way. They should wear masks…
Thanks DW for the documentary
Watching this broke my heart. 😢 We are constantly destroying our planet. Overpopulation, overconsumption and corporate greed. RIP earth 🌍
What's the difference between Indonesia and Ghana? Waste. Huge waste coming from abroad. This 2 countries buy waste from all over the world without thinking where to put them later. Look at the beaches in ghana for example. Bad government sadly sold their country to a white man for money in exchange. That 3D project is future faking all the money is borrowing from other countries they cant pay back. He only spoke his mind when mp left not when mp was there to make his voice heard.
With a closed stove that only transmits the heat and has a chimney, like coal stoves, plastics can be kept out of the food if they can not switch to coconut husk burning.
To reduce my trash, I shred cardboard and use it in a raised bed to grow flowers. The cleaner cardboard and paper is used in my worm farm.
These folks aren't catching rain water and collecting it down into a cystern that would go through the same filtration that the ground water goes through.
Sad to see what we humans are doing to the earth.
..mes felicitation et merci beaucoup to these people doing awesome work..
Humanity is doomed-DEVOLVING 🤦
Foreigners have more concern than the own government
0:40 wow she's gorgeous
How about we stop selecting the plastic out of the rubbish pile marked Belgium, Australia, France and making up ridiculous nonsense about "neo-colonialism" and just google the top 10 or 15 plastics manufacturers and then consider whether someone in our much-vaunted global government, multi-polar, rules-based order could tackle the real neo-colonialists, international banking, corporate hedge fund investment profit and greed driven "multinational" petro-chemical plastics industries. We could ask them if they wouldn't mind handing over a proportion of their projected 811 billion dollar revenue by 2030 (plastics alone) to help solve the problem.
I have picked up a lot of plastic rubbish off the beaches in Australia, and I can assure you none of it is coming from Belgium. The corporations which export plastic to developing nations have names and addresses too. And I would bet that a large proportion of the plastics choking our oceans and rivers is made by those same "multinationals" operating under the blessing of the Chinese People's Communist Party, tax free and unrestricted by environmental and human rights obligations as ever. Have another look, under that empty plastic wrapping of French ham and see if you can find anything with "Made in China" written on it.
This is true probably nearly everywhere. Take a look at my case–my country–the Philippines. My country has such a beauty. But undisciplined people, Filipinos & foreigners in the country, have thrashed it & are continuously thrashing it until the beauty it has is lost.
Humans have created plant garbage in reverence to the god of corporate greed. – now everyone will suffer…!
We have destroyed the environment, and 98% of the people in developed countries lol will not do what's necessary
Now Trump 2.0, it's so much easier not to do the right thing
