I grew up with parents that used cloth diapers, baby food jars for nuts & bolts, coffee tins for flour, salt, tea and sugar. We used newspapers for starting charcoal fires and packaging, paper grocery bags for shopping, covering schoolbooks and outings for picking fruit. We saved lawn clippings & veg scraps for the compost pile, mason jars for hot water bath and high pressure canning, and on and on. I even save class 2, 4 and 5 plastic containers with lids for short term flour, salt, sugar, etc storage.
I've reused small glass containers for my own dehydrated seasonings, herbs & spices, onions, garlic, etc. I vacuum seal jars that have the safety snap lids and mason jars for long term storage too. I use and reuse vacuum seal bags for dried bean, rice, frozen foods, cheese, meats and even clothes and emergency items I keep in my car for winter driving. (I don't reuse vac bags that had meat in the for other foods, not a good idea.) I've modified food tins to create alcohol stoves and nested mess kits for hiking, camping and emergency travel kits. I even save my plastic Meta Mucil jars for hardware, flour, pasta, etc. Hell, most of my plastic storage containers are 30 years old. I must have saved a couple thousand dollars over the years by reusing so much.
If everyone is so concerned about recycling and the environment why hasn't the govt. banned most of the single use and non-recyclable plastics? Why aren't the environmentalists pushing for federal standards on packaging (looking at you, Apple)? Why, because we're a bunch of stupid hairless monkeys that refuse to be inconvenienced!

Of course. She is a finance channel though and pretty much everybody is selling a book or a shirt these days.

maybe they can recycle plastic's into a type of Botox for the face's of the women that use most of the ~Fake Up shit anyway's. Mind you the CUNT's are already as false and plastic as they can be, so is that even possible? lol! Mind you I know a female who saves all her old makeup and eye liner containers for me ti use so I shouldn't complain!! lol! Those Eye liner brushes have a thousand uses from cleaning out a carburetor or Injector to cleaning filter's and difficult to get at angles and corner's, they are washable as well so can be reused. Lipstick containers are good as well. Wind the worn lipstick to the bottom or the tune and pack with high temp and really dense motor Grease Ideal for greasing a bike chain without wasting space with a big can laying about. fill one with Petroleum Jelly and use as a balm. The idea's are endless. fortunately their are no used Tampon's on the bag! lol! but the paper tubes are useful though (wash hands recommended)! lol!

I notice that by 2030 when they wnt all electric vehicles, their is no mention of the assumed pollution that will be created as these things will have to be light? Natural plastic WILL be the option to use, and that is putting aside the environmental damage caused by battery construction that they don't tell you about, just another SCAM to make money yet again and WE are to blame for buying their CRAP they make by brainwashing use, well most anyway's.

One thing the last 2 years of the PLANDEMIC has done positively for me is turn the clock back. I'm kinda living in a sudo "1950's" era I guess you can call it. I now by canned veg and meat, so the Freezer that is one of the most power hungry item's has GONE. The bonus is I get to use the cans for anything from storage to many other uses. The fridge is next if power prices continue to rise. I've already experimented with what my Grand parents used, An enameled Bread bin with water in it, kept in a cool place and their are plenty of those in the UK! lol! Use those freezer bags now to stand your milk container in and wrap cheese and other fridge items in. Yep it works perfectly ok. Buy UHT Milk you don't even need to cool that and it lasts for weeks.

Unless they get the cost of electric cars down to under $25K there's no way I can afford one and I can only imagine what the apartment management fee will be for plugging in to recharge.

@HairlessMonkey: There is another thing they have NOT told the public but it's easy to find out, is in 2030 the comustion engine will NOT be made for Car's and vehicles anymore, they are NOT banning Currently running vehicles, but they will as we see try to price us off the roads? Naturally they wuill ban Deisel and Gas/Petrol engines except if it impacts on them, things like Wind Turbines for example. did you kno it takes a 7 litre Diesel engine to start a Wind Turbine moving. Refrigiration units in food manufacture may be electric but oil or fossil fuel is needed to get them running as well. Maybe we could take all those old fossilt's from government and burn them instead! lol!

@mrghoster: Thing is most people I've talked to don't realize there are hundreds of other things petroleum is used for so a lot of consumer goods may not be available or development delayed if they decide to kill off oil before they get their ducks in a row. Talk about throwing the baby out with the bath water!

Plastic's were a replacement for "Bakalite" (not sure if that is spelled correct)? The big thing is Bakalite was recyclable. Everything you see that was around in the 30's like Radio's Record disc's, cover's and moulded items was recyclable already, but it lacked strength and flexibility. I use Milk containers cut into strips to "Plastic weld" broken items mainly made from plastics but other things like wires acan be re-coated ans so forth, cracked you car fender? Plastic weld it. All you need is strips of waste plastic like old cable ties and you can fix it as good as new and don't like the pockets of an already overly FAT CAT. You heat source can be a soldering iron or just a heated screwdriver end. I've fixed friends cracked plastic fenders/bumpers and more for years now, naturally I get paid. in these hard timnes it is wise too find savings where ever you can.

That plastic welding is clever.

@Drums_McBashington: Like Metal welding it takes a bit of practice and getting used to. like Metal welding it is easy to over burn the plastic , I found the best method is a kind of Spot welding application, the fill in with small shovel like motions that look like Metal welding, and just as strong.

Oh yea, I've done a little plastic welding like that, usually electronics and a micro tip soldering iron. I used to make cable ties and "twine" by slicing soda bottles into long strips on a razor jig. Light weight and strong for baling trash and boxes.

@HairlessMonkey: I found different plastic's have different uses and I have a box full of alsorts cut into thin strips, I never waste a discarded Cable Tie if I see one in the street.
