MBI was tuning out after the early episodes of this new format because I perceived it just scratching the surface. I was curious about the topic so I watched and I thought it was a big improvement. Next step could be to go a bit deeper on some of these topics.

JBGreat piece lots i didn't know. Interesting about plastic in shoes and other clothes. I have been reading a lot about microplastics getting into the water and food supply through simply washing synthetic materials (vs cotton/wool). I believe microplastics are found in +90% of north American tap water already. Maybe a knock on effect will be new health issues in the coming years around this. No one knows how our bodies react to microplastics.

PWOne of the most interesting parts of this topic is the difference in how internal politics of China and the United States play out on the international stage due to the differences in control of the economy. The issue of which leader has more influence on the global economy is a fascinating one, particularly in the current context of trade conflict. On an entirely separate note, I am quite willing to see global patterns of waste management change in favor of more local handling because I believe that when people are not able to hide the effects of their wastefulness in foreign countries, they will be more willing to adopt reasonable practices around keeping the recyclable stream of materials out of the landfills.

dmI'm still not sure of the choice of venue. Always interesting topics, particularly this one. But, there seems to be lots of narrative and less substantiated facts. And the "Professor" is just silly. Again, great topics and think the 'knock on' effect is tremendously important, but the venue doesn't appeal to me nor the narrative. In any event, thank you RealVision for trying new things!

ABWell done, captivating storyline and glad to hear China is taking a stand. I recommend Edward Burtynsky's documentary "Manufactured Landscapes" (somewhat dated) to get a glimpse at the stockpiling of recycling in China.
