Computer animation comparing the US rate of plastic water bottle recycling (approx. 100 bottles/second) to the nonrecycled rate (approx. 845 bottles/second; see assumed role) for 2005. This computer animation was made to raise awareness about bottled water, and its surprisingly poor recycling rates. Since its recent popularization, bottled water (in all its flavors) has become ironically lone of the most consumed, yet smallest amount recycled beverages. For example, it is estimated that in 2005 alone approximately 30 billion plastic water bottles were bought in the US, with only about 12% recycled (in part due to out-dated deposit laws), and the remaining 25 billion bottles landfilled, besieged or incinerated.

I don’t even buy that over priced crap. I just use filtered tap water, tastes nearly the same, and most bottled water is just filtered tap water any way.
Why isn’t this a commercial on TV?
Even if it were shortened to 30 seconds or 15 seconds, the impact of the sound of the bottles and then the recycle symbol at the aim are huge!
Recycling in effect doesn’t exist. All recycling is downcycling, as the plastic degrades in quality and purity each time it is recycled. The reality is that people shouldn’t recycle, they should stop consuming petroleum based plastics altogether, and thrash to bioplastics such as hemp smear with oil based plastics, which break down in a non-toxic manner.
bottled water is shipped to Coca Cola in powder form, and then each bottle is refilled with tap water once at the bottling company.
the powder has all the usual chemicals in it that we are “supposed to be” injesting on a daily footing.
Yummy. plastic rich water. I Wonder how much is wedged in our bodies?
educational.pls try out my video on indegenous plastic recycling of soda bottles in the Philippines by a Filipino guy.thanks
damn
That is awesome…for the plastic companies that get on to them as well! Every bottle is about $0.15 in their pocket…. that would be nice wouldn’t it?
And for the idiots who believe the ‘guvment should run your life and tell you what to buy, go F yourself.
wow you must have a mega computer to render this
sick
The gov’t should use your video as a public announcement. Its sad to realize that there are too few options for someone to integrate green practices into daily living. I personally would use your thought to advertise a refillable soda and water shop.
Excellent use of your animation. There are other people who are able to do such animations, save for very few of them be going to to say something with them.
I really like the thought of a looped version, too.
This is what we call Fuck Us!
ARGH gay with bottles! The images!
The thrust and outflow of those bottles is huge!
yeah, save for only gay with bottles, bottles produce the best have control over.
crytek CRYENGINE 3!!!!!!!
you guys are gay
nice physics on the bottles.
that is an awesome thought… maybe updates from recyling centres so you can vary the speed!
Fantastic work. You should get on to a looping version of the bottle cascade and post it on a website so it shows that the cascade is neverending, maybe with a counter adding up the constant output of un-recycled bottles. I can help with the Flash coding if you choose to do it.
How cheap it is has nothing to do with it. In #7 bottles, Bishpenol A (BPA) is leached which has been linked to causing all kinds of terrible health problems. Also, #1 bottles are recommended for only lone time use. But, other plastics such as #2 HDPE or #5 PP are perfectly fine. But, it is recommended that they are washed often. (Save for the same goes for your glass and steel water bottles too.) So yep. Hope that helps.
Well done an excilent interperation of the facts, thats really quite a spooky map
thats right save for if you use a #5 then u might have to be careful,cuz #5 is kind of a cheap plastic,the higher the number the cheaper the plastic is
SakuraHarunoFan1 you’re right, no matter how well-intentioned you are, you should only use a #1 plastic bottle once before recycling it. But, #2s can be refilled unlimited era without leeching chemicals into the fluid inside. #5 plastics are also excellent in that way.

Excellent, save for I reckon you may possibly have cut out rihanna.
I LOVE YOUR WORK!!! I admire the way your able to mixture together the composition from the vidoes to the composition it works and mashes together soooo well!! You have a rare gift and ear for composition!! Thanks for allotment your work mate!! lone like
daaaamn 15 songs

blondie should be removed
we like this song!
@tweak25 the intro is from Take That – In trade for Excellent
@tweak25 free fallin – tom petty
Incredible.
3:36 “I watch you when you are sleeping” haha what?
@tweak25 “In trade for Excellent” by Take That
EPIC EPIC EPIC!!!
This is lone of my favorites.
whats the intro from?
@sounbelievablykool – maybe it’s because, in this case, Blondie sounds off, as well as Coldplay in this case does also. Save for, anyway, this guy is a genious. I am amazed with his work. I listened Girl talk work and thought it was cool save for the excess of rap annoyed me… This Peter Bull guy on other hand, nailed my musical taste and he uses small to none rap composition. He is ace!!!
BUT he has better mashups and videos than this lone!
SO GOOD. Goosebumps every time <3
talk about brilliant.
not lone of the better ones imo
Coldplay officially sealed it. Lone of your best!
I agree, it started off very well, save for in the aim it was just a bit too much jumbled at once… It was like you were trying too hard to add more to it, when it’s better to keep it relatively simple.
what song is at 0:46 ?
its phenomenal how you bring awesome songs from many genres and mixture together them into lone gorgeous mash-terpiece lol
Norwegian Recycling, Hood Internet and Milkman = pure gold
fantastic mashup!
why is everyone hating blondie :O
