waste like this. its everywhere behind our backs.

think about how many walmarts there are, then think of this as daily, then think about the needy that this is denied to. this world, this country is sick for profit. make this viral. and remember that walmart is just one of many that waste like this. its everywhere behind our backs. you've seen my rants on waste in the past. more important things than sports n beer drinking !

here's how ignorant people are, i just got a comment that this store was without power for a couple days because of a storm. granted. but that is not even remotely the point of this video. the point is that instead of at least offering employees or those in need to go through this stuff before it is recklessly just thrown to the trash and the fact that there are thousands of these stores that mass produce for profit for themselves and dont give a rats azz about how much is going to be wasted daily. imagine this each day at the thousands of stores around the country. imagine, and i know you've seen it, the things that they thrown away during the holidays or sell for more profit at general dollar or the dollar store with no regards about the health risks because the goods are no longer Walwastes responsibility. it makes me sick that a human being even finds a way to shed light on this atrocity. it irks me that people are homeless and starving while these corporations that could care less about the consumer but only about making their own profit off of your suffering. these lawyers are the reason that these companies get away with what they do. they are the ones that profit on both sides by making people sue for something they wouldn't while at the same time strike fear into corporations by fueling the fear of being sued. the whole thing is a profit engineered psychotic disaster that needs to end. we need to learn common sense again, start thinking for ourselves, and we now have the technologies to make every product buy as you need it by individual order, not mass produce by means of sweatshops and mass slave labor. enough is enough.

Study Reveals We are Ingesting Plastic Fibers via Tap Water


First off, I get that the *food* at Walmart and pretty much every where is not exactly what we can even call food but there is a point here. MASSIVE waste. People on food stamps and tons of food,,even dated for the year 2020! IS being thrown out. It isn't just the USA nor just Walmart. Personal experience in the *dump* industry since I was a child has shown me the massive amounts of not just food being tossed in dumps. Canadian Tire products that work perfectly yet off to the garbage, same with ALL big stores so I will save myself the time of listing them all. There is NO shortage of ANYTHING there is only big corporations et al making sure we cannot afford a darn thing anymore while creating more garbage. Ever see car grave yards? Tons of NEW vehicles sitting in those graveyards,,what does it cost for a vehicle these days? The list just goes on,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,












Plastic, once regarded as convenient and versatile, has actually become one of the biggest environmental problems of our time. It’s easy to see the extend of the contamination when you visit the oceanside. Even the most remote beaches are often littered with plastic debris. Now, new evidence reveals the problem of plastic pollution hits much closer to home. Microplastics, invisible to the human eye, are present in our drinking water, and as a result are polluting our bodies.



An investigation commissioned by Orb Media revealed that microplastics were present in 83 percent of drinking water samples. The study encompassed more than a dozen countries, including the U.S., the U.K., France, Germany, Lebanon, Indonesia, Equator, and India.
When comparing contamination rates, the U.S. had the highest rate at 94 percent. This means that researchers found plastic fibers in 94 percent of the water samples collected at dozens of locations around the country.
Startlingly, each country in the analysis had a contamination rate of more than 70 percent.
Dr. Sherri Mason is a microplastic expert at the State University of New York in Fredonia. She supervised the analyses for Orb. Dr. Mason stated in an interview with The Guardian:
We have enough data from looking at wildlife, and the impacts that it’s having on wildlife, to be concerned. If it’s impacting [wildlife], then how do we think that it’s not going to somehow impact us?
Dr. Anne Marie Mahon at the Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology conducted a smaller study in Ireland. She also discovered microplastic contamination in tap water and well water samples. Dr. Mahon stated:
nanoparticles are there too that we can’t measure. Once they are in the nanometer range they can really penetrate a cell and that means they can penetrate organs, and that would be worrying.
Dr. Mason and Dr. Mahon join many others who believe there is an urgent need to study the consequences of microplastics and their inherent toxicity. What we do know is that microplastics can absorb pathogens and toxic chemicals. Furthermore, animal research illustrates that plastic easily releases these chemicals into animal tissues.

Why is the Planet So Contaminated with Plastic?

We all know that it is important to recycle plastic because it is not biodegradable. This means that plastic may break down into smaller pieces, but the natural environment does not absorb it. Instead, tiny plastic fibers just float around the different ecosystems of the planet.
For most Westerners, it appears we are effective at recycling. Yet, only a very small percentage of plastic is actually recycled. Here are some statistics from Science Advances:
We estimate that 8300 million metric tons (Mt) as of virgin plastics have been produced to date. As of 2015, approximately 6300 Mt of plastic waste had been generated, around 9% of which had been recycled, 12% was incinerated, and 79% was accumulated in landfills or the natural environment. If current production and waste management trends continue, roughly 12,000 Mt of plastic waste will be in landfills or in the natural environment by 2050.

Awareness is the Greatest Agent for Change

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and helpless when realizing the magnitude of the problem. Yet, without knowledge, we would continue to consume plastic like a problem doesn’t exist. As in the words of Eckhart Tolle, “Awareness is the greatest agent for change.”
We can all participate in making a difference. This includes buying less plastic and switching to reusable and biodegradable products. There are so many eco-friendly options now, from biodegradable plastic bags to disposable cutlery, and even toothbrushes. You have a choice to support these types of eco-friendly companies, just as we support organic farmers and sustainable food producers.
Science will continue to attest to the need for bigger changes in our industries and regulations. Our part is to establish better consumption habits by making smaller changes in our lives.

  1. To see it up close and personal is mind boggling. To see this on a massive scale is heart breaking. The effects of all this garbage goes further than just us humans. Being in the country the last year and getting deep into the back country we came across some massive dumps,,garbage blowing every where in the wind. Deep in the woods,,garbage,,New stuff, old stuff, nothing but stuff. Saddens a soul.
