It just looks like smoke inside of a giant clear balloon…

This visual is useless unless you know how much stuff was burned

They had to release all of that in the end no??

Thats cool.
So what are they gonna do with all that smoke and pollutant?
Sliminfinity on
And then they’re “showing” how much smoke is created and then what happens when the demonstration is over?…….The smoke then goes into the atmosphere just like burning plastic?

It reminds me of how a smoker fills his lungs when he inhales the nicotine.
So what they do after the burning with the pollutants?
SwaMaeg on
How much smoke it gives off directly correlate to how much of it you burn

I wonder that they’re going to do with that giant plastic balloon when they’re done with it?

I saw somewhere that this is kind of misleading. Something about this being a specific process to coat the inside of the weather balloon to protect it from UV when it gets to high altitude? Fact check me but that made sense to me.

Burning plastic is terrible for the environment. Here let me show you.

Only if it’s combusted at low temperatures in a campfire.
Incinerating waste plastic under controlled conditions and high temperatures can reduce that waste to basic molecules, and is far healthier environmentally than most other available
options for disposal.
If that still doesn’t sit right, it’s because the actual right thing to do is never produce this plastic in the first place.

May I suggest moving back a bit for better visual representation Mr camera man

Now do a single diesel truck.

The camera person zooming out might have illustrated the point a bit better.
Burning it in a semi closed low airflow environment is making it smoke more. Not that I need any convincing that burning plastic is bad.

Probably just some rednecks diesel pickup truck that he’s tuned for power.

Cameraman whatever you do don’t pan up to show the full impact just keep focusing on the grass.

Thankfully Greta Thunberg was there to inhale it all in one huge hit for mother earth. It made them burning plastic all worthwhile.

Trapping burnt plastic residue in a big bag is as dumb as Dicaprio and his private jets.

That’s really interesting as fuck.

If I remember correctly from the last time I saw this posted, they’re doing that to coat the inside of the balloon. It’s not to demonstrate how much smoke & pollutants are burned from plastic.

So to show us how terrible of humans we are, you do the exact thing that you don’t want us to do

Did they burn the huge balloon bag afterwards?

wasn’t the last time this was posted just showing what one campfire looks like? I didn’t think it had anything to do with plastic.

Te height of the video pollutes the sky.

Jeez, are they tryna make the atmosphere overdose?

Oh wow start fire inside of a plast balloon and see how much smoke is there. Smoke bad. Blah blah blah lol. I don’t disagree though. Plastic waste is bad. Their method of saying it is as dumb as legislators taking private jets to 200 different places to tell us to conserve.
