The video "How Food Waste is Turned Into Plastic, Hair Extensions and More (Business Insider)" discusses the benefits of repurposing biowaste and assists in climate change awareness. Personally, I believe that these small businesses could be the key to our planet's survival. The methods they use reduce our carbon footprint and emit less pollution. I was especially shocked by the secrecy of one of the businesses. They did not want others to be copying their "recipe". I feel that if they shared this "recipe" with the world, more sustainable products would be manufactured. This could lead to a more eco-friendly future. In addition, I was shocked that bananas are one of the main food waste that these businesses are using. I have only ever seen people using banana peels for compost, but I never thought that the rest of the banana plant itself could be used. On top of that, I wish that more people used these products. If the majority of the population starts investing in these businesses, our world will become a better place. Overall, this video increased my awareness of sustainability.
The first point that the video “How Food Waste Is Turned Into Plastic, Hair Extensions, And More“ is a vey important point that people fail to give importance to. Every bit of trash that a person makes and sends off to conventional landfills creates methane. There are definitely areas that collect that methane and convert it into a power source, but that isn’t the case everywhere, and composting also may not be feasible for every household. In addition to that, the amount of organic waste that the agricultural industry adds is probably millions of tons of waste that can be used to make something that is reducing the amount of methane that is released: which is starting to become more relevant as we start to see temperatures rise all around this country. The first example in the video, the mango vegan leather, is a great example of how something that could be going to the landfill, because the quality control mangos cannot be sold, can be used to create something entirely new. However the problem with these products become that they can’t compete as effectively in the market. Their prices are going to have to be higher, because it is a more time taking process, a newer process that is still on its way to maximum perfection and efficiency. This situation is very similar to the idea of packaged, processed food versus organic produce. It’s not necessarily that organic is way more expensive, its just that packaged, processed food is extremely cheap. So, it comes down to us as consumers to be more aware of the products we are using. If you decide to buy a leather product, look at if it is vegan or not, and if its made out of plastic or something organic like fruit.
After watching the video, “ How Food Waste is Turned Into Plastic, Hair Extensions and More (Business Insider)”, I found it incredible how food waste can be converted into everyday items. The fact that this production protects the environment is truly fascinating and kept me wanting to learn more. A common material used was banana plant stems, since the stem only fruits once in its lifetime, leading to an abundance of waste. Although I knew that banana peels can be used for compost, or fertilizer, I did not know that the plant stem could be put to good use. The banana stems produce items like textiles and sanitary pads, which is amazing. It is remarkable how items, such as avocado pits and pineapple crowns, which would otherwise be considered “garbage” can be transformed into useful products including bioplastic utensils and plates. The food industry today results in tons of garbage each year, which often end up in landfills or contribute to excessive greenhouse gas emissions. The only issue we now experience is that because these products are time consuming to manufacture and are often more costly than products, which are not Earth friendly, they tend to be sold at a higher price. As a result, consumers will typically purchase the products which are cheaper, yet harmful to the environment. If companies lower prices, they will be unable to earn profits that are high enough and therefore discontinue manufacturing goods. I feel that the government should fund or donate money to some of these companies, as this will allow for business owners to lower their prices. I believe that this is necessary, because if people do not purchase the biodegradable products, these businesses will shut down and the tons of food waste will continue to destroy our planet. After watching this video, I was more hopeful of a brighter future, as we can remove food waste from our planet by recycling, and therefore clean our planet.
In the video, "The Surprising Species That Everything Else Depends On | IN OUR NATURE," wildlife habitats were observed to determine that a keystone species exists which regulates all wildlife living in that area. One thing that caught my attention was how bison were mentioned as being a keystone species. In North America, there were originally 300 million bison which dwindled down, leaving the humans and wildlife in severe conditions. I questioned if another species could become the new keystone species. For example, if the bison went into extinction, there could have been the potential for another species to rise and regulate the ecosystem. I further questioned this with the wildebeests, curious as to if another animal such as the zebra or giraffes would regulate the habitat if the wildebeests were dead. If a keystone species is exterminated in the near future, it would be beneficial to study the territory to see if other animals might become the new regulators. It would also be interesting to see variations in the animals or environment that might have occurred if another keystone species took over.
The video I chose to watch was “Experts Stunned by Organ Death Reversal”. After watching the video in its entirety I remembered a development that happened a couple of years back revolving around 3D printing and the utilization of it in organ transplantation. Though it is still in development, 3D printing organs became an idea because of the fact that it would become widely accessible and help alleviate the issue surrounding organ donation: the patient’s body rejects the donated organ, and the list for organ donations is long. With this method scientists are still trying to figure out a fool proof way to use a patients cells in order to reproduce a viable organ that could be used as a replacement. This development reminded me of the video because of the fact that for one issue (organ transplants) scientists are trying to develop multiple ways to solve it. Mainly to make it more affordable and efficient. As the years go on and as technology advances hopefully procedures in the medical field will become more accessible as well as feasible for patients all over the world.
I enjoyed watching the video “How Food Waste is Turned Into Plastic, Hair Extensions and More” because it made me glad to know that people around the world are taking initiative to decrease the amount of food waste going into landfills to limit methane emissions, thus helping the environment. New technologies and ideas of being created, and it is important to use the resources and knowledge we have to help the environment as much as we can, especially since global warming levels are increasing. Out of all of the companies featured in the video, my favorite was the company that used the stems of banana trees to make sanitary pads. In India, not many people have access to pads, especially if they live in villages. I think that it is amazing that this company not only makes biodegradable pads from food waste, but also distributes them to those in need and educates communities about menstruation. In all, I think that all of these companies are helping us lean towards a more eco-friendly future, and hopefully, more people will be inspired to invent other ways of utilizing waste and limiting greenhouse gas emissions.
In SciShow's video titled "Experts "Stunned" by Organ Death Reversal", I found it surprising how oxygen is a major component of organ donations and that despite later presence of oxygen in blood vessels, even further damage can occur. The concept of reoxygenation injury and its effects on the cells of organs was surprising as I previously would have thought that simply reading oxygen into the blood would fix the issue. Rather, organs are much more sensitive, beginning to die early on and risk forming clots inside of blood. Its even more fascinating how something as small as hemoglobin, which carries oxygen, can be synthesised to stop and even reverse the effects of reoxygenation injury. As the study conducted with pigs produced great results with the use of synthetic hemoglobin in a control environment, it makes me excited to see how OrganEx can be used in human cases. In addition, the video covers genetic testing and rat sprem donations from styrile mice. A shocking study using chimeras revealed the possibility of fertilizing endangered species through prevailing species of animals. Its interesting to see how scientific advancement can rejuvinate species and further increase the life expectancy of humans.
The video “Experts ‘Stunned’ by Organ Death Reversal” piqued my curiosity of the future of medicine. Organ transplantation has grown significantly over the years, and I admire the efforts to improve this vital system. I was aware that recipients could reject an organ, however, I found reoxygenation injury interesting. An issue with organ transplants is that there are not enough organs to donate. While OrganEx still has a long way to go, I hope it works so that a person can receive an organ without experiencing reoxygenation injury. I enjoy reading about medical discoveries or advancements, especially when it involves new technology. While medical advancements have significantly helped people live longer, it saddens me that some of these medical solutions must be tested on other animals in order to be effective. I sincerely hope scientists find a safe way to breed endangered species because it will help in preventing species from becoming extinct and, as a result, prevent affecting the environment. I also wonder if OrganEx can be used for purposes other than transplants. For example, using it when a patient's heart stops or for a stroke.
The video “Experts “Stunned by Organ Death Reversal”” by SciShow News was a very interesting article as I learned information regarding organ transplants and its dangers. Previously I thought that organ transplants had to be done immediately and that if not the organ would not function in a new body but this is false as this whole video explains new methods in successfully transferring organs after sometime when cell breakdown might have occured. The use of synthetic blood to oxygenate organ cells was also very interesting. After doing some research on synthetic blood I found that its only purpose is to bring oxygen and carbon dioxide to the body. It is made using chemicals that contain fluorine and carbon as elements. I never knew that synthetic blood was used in humans let alone used to aid in the process of organ transplants. I wonder if they’re are any dangers when using synthetic blood especially as OrganEx is including additives in the blood to help with blood clots. There have been multiple side effects with early artificial blood. The FDA has also not approved an artificial blood product yet, so it is definitely important to keep an eye on the effects of OrganEx’s method. I hope their method works as organ transplants are extremely vital in saving lives and I am looking forward to seeing improvements in their method and this field.
In the video "Experts "Stunned" by Organ Death Reversal", a new technique to move blood through a body that has lost circulation, called OrganEx, is tested in pigs. It uses a synthetic hemoglobin that is mixed with blood and circulated. It closely mimics the the bodies natural circulation method. In addition, the hemoglobin contains additives that reduce reoxygenation injuries. This method has been tested in pigs and has had very promising results. For the 100,000+ Americans on the National Transplant list, this could remove a risky step in the process, and minimize the chance of something going wrong.
The video "How Food Waste is Turned Into Plastic, Hair Extensions and More (Business Insider)" talks about how people use food waste and turn it into everyday usable items. These methods to make the products make it very efficient for our environment. For example it limits the amount of methane that is being released which is very beneficial to the Earth. Along with that, it reduces global warming, and produces products that are biodegradable. I am really surprised that mangos were able to be turned into leather and also how avocado pits were used to make bioplastic utensils. The banana branches that were turned into feminine pads and cloth was really interesting to see and it is for a good cause as well. These products that were being created are more eco-friendly and are much better for the environment. The waste that would’ve ended up in landfills, can be turned into products that be used by the public. I think more companies should arise in an effort to help reduce our carbon footprint as well as to reduce the number of food waste. However, the only concern with this is that these companies would have trouble competing with larger companies since more people would buy from big companies. The solution to this is that more and more companies should be founded and eventually take over the big companies which then can result in more eco-friendly corporations. Overall, I think these ways of turning waste into products is a really beneficial way to take care of the planet.
The video, “How Food Waste is Turned Into Plastic, Hair Extensions, and More”, was extremely entertaining and made me feel encouraged and excited to know that these small businesses are taking big steps to make the world more environmentally-friendly. Personally, I have a huge passion for the environment and being environmentally-friendly at all times and food waste is a major contributor to our landfills, which is damaging the Earth heavily. I was so surprised to learn that you can turn bananas into textiles, with barely any machinery that could need resources like coal that produce fossil fuels. More people need to get notice of these small businesses that are making such a big impact on the environment because these businesses don’t have much support, yet they’re doing so much. We need to support these businesses so they can make a difference in the world and impact more than just the people near them. However, I feel like one major thing that makes people not want to support or buy products from businesses like the banana textiles are the prices, but they are completely reasonable. With the time, effort, and impact these products need and have, these workers need to be supported as much as they are helping the world be more sustainable and eco-friendly.
In the video, "How Food Waste is Turned Into Plastic, Hair Extensions and More (Business Insider)" what I found interesting was that we throw out items thinking it’s just going to the trash but it turns out to be an everyday item we end up using. I knew that the stem of the banana was good for the environment but I didn’t really know in detail. A banana stem can be turned into sanitary pads and in this day they are very necessary. We also need to figure out ways to make more uses of our trash like this and implement it into everyday society to make a cleaner earth
In the video, “How Food Waste Is Turned Into Plastic, Hair Extensions, And More” by Business Insider, the narrator discusses a series of different inventions that uses food waste to create products (that are usually made unsustainably with materials such as plastic and petroleum) to reduce people’s carbon footprints. For example, the narrator discusses a company, Fruit Leather, based out of the Netherlands, that uses the pulp of mangoes to create leather which I found extremely interesting. Although vegan leather has become extremely popular in recent years and can be made from sustainable materials such as fruit waste, can also make it from materials such as polyurethane which is a type of plastic. Furthermore, because of Tik Tok, vegan leather pants have spiked in popularity, and I found myself looking at this specific pair that also went viral on Tik Tok. Nevertheless, these pants are created with a material called polyurethane which is very unsustainable as it is created by plastic (which makes the products cheaper) that takes years to decompose. Big companies like these have their leather products also created with polyurethane and have become increasingly popular because they are advertised as cruelty-free, but people aren't aware of how it increases our carbon footprint. However, if companies like Fruit Leather can figure out a way to make the production process cheaper, bigger clothing companies can stop using polyurethane and use fruit waste instead. Besides this, I also found the idea of banana sanitary pads interesting as well because the company is based out of India and I know how much of a problem period poverty is in India and how it is considered taboo there. Personally, I also know how items such as sanitary pads aren’t readily accessible there as it is in America especially in smaller villages causing many to use old clothes or rags that can put women at risk for infection. However, this company that uses banana waste to create them not only donated them, but educated other women helping with period poverty. Overall, I found this video extremely interesting because I didn’t know that so many items can be made by food waste and it will make me think twice about what a mango or a pineapple crown can do.
After watching the video “Experts Stunned by Organ Death Reversal” by SciShow, I thought back to one of the articles that we first reviewed during this summer assignment, the one titled “Soft sounds numb pain. Researchers may now know why”. When the video covered the studies and tests done on pigs using induced heart attacks, I thought back to how the previous article we had reviewed mentioned pain relief in animals and wondered if they had done anything similar during the tests with the pigs. I looked into it using https://blogs.bmj.com/medical-ethics/2022/08/12/the-ethics-of-organex/, which stated that the pigs were fully sedated before death and did not feel any effects of the heart attack or the rest of the results of the experiment.
In the video “Experts ‘Stunned’ by Organ Death Reversal”, I was surprised that the new findings of OrganEx can actually not only help preserve organs but also repair them. As it said in the video, when blood is pumped into artificial lungs and then pumped back into the body, cell damage may still occur. With this method, they take a form of hemoglobin and mix it with the body's blood. I find this interesting because they seem like similar methods, but have different outcomes. Later in the video, they start talking about the research on the conservation of animals that are near extinction. I find it interesting how even with the genetics of a different type of species, it is still possible to save a whole other species. I want to learn more about how genetics work and how we as humans can control them. Both these new findings just show how society is becoming more advanced in not only technology but ways to save people and our environment.
As I was watching the video, “Experts Stunned by Organ Death Reversal,” I was fascinated. As I’m someone who hopes to have a career in which organ transplants are crucial, I was very interested in the innovations that have been being made in this field. I found it interesting how hemoglobin can be synthesized to reverse deoxygenation injury. The deoxygenation of organs was problematic, as it made valuable organs unusable anymore. This solution to preserving organs until they are transplanted could be groundbreaking. This is because sometimes, rarely, organs would no longer be viable once they reach the patient. With this, organ transport and transplants would become much easier.
After watching the video, "Experts 'Stunned' by Organ Death Reversal", I was enlightened of many things. I had no idea how difficult and arduous it is to keep an organ acceptable for a recipient. I never put much thought into how crucial something as simple as oxygen is for keeping an organ alive. There are so many factors to think of in the preservation of an organ. OrganEx allows organ donors whose circulation ceased after dying to be able to still donate their organs. The creation of this synthetic hemoglobin could not only help preserve organs but also help many people with heart problems. The artificial hemoglobin could extend their life and enhance their comfort. This blood substitute could also greatly help people who need blood. They wouldn't have to wait to get a donor's blood who has the same blood type as them. Overall, the creation of artificial hemoglobin can significantly alter the medical field and change lives.
The video "How Food Waste is Turned Into Plastic, Hair Extensions and More” interested me because it was interesting to see how what we can consider unusable can be transformed into something that people can use in their everyday lives. I think that these methods can save the environment by making certain products biodegradable. This would limit the amount of time that plastics and waste remains on the Earth. The video also reminds me of the anecdote “one man’s trash is another’s man’s treasure.” What may seem like waste to some is an outlet to reduce waste and reuse materials for another.
The video, “How Food Waste is Turned Into Plastic, Hair Extensions and More (Business Insider)", was a good insight into not only how much food is wasted around the world but how businesses can make beneficial new products. The amount of food waste that each person contributes to causes the implantation of methane in the environment. This in turn is a negative effect because methane has proven to be a greenhouse gas that creates a layer of insulation in the atmosphere affecting global warming and climate change. The way food was turned into products that can be purchased was fascinating to me because I would have never thought that mangoes could be used to make vegan leather. It was also innovative how they used the stems of the bananas- since they only produce fruit once- to make sanitary products. I believe that the thought and idea behind taking food waste and making it into necessary products are super beneficial but it is very costly. Since it is just businesses doing this without assistance from the government or government-affiliated companies, they cannot afford to keep prices at super cheap prices. With this, people tend to buy environmentally unfriendly products which in turn keeps the prices of the friendly products very high. If these businesses got support from the government or businesses that are very financially stable, we could see bigger results. Although major support has not been shown yet, there is hope that we could see some in the future which could potentially help the planet.
After watching the video, “The Surprising Species that Everything Else Depends On”, I was fascinated by the huge role keystone species have within their ecosystems. I was surprised to also learn that small actions can have big impacts on the ecosystem. For instance, the Wildebeests’ grassy diet creates little grass in the ecosystem. As a result, the ecosystem experiences far fewer wildfires, allowing more trees to grow and cultivate. With an abundance of trees, the ecosystem can support a vast amount of other species, including giraffes, elephants, and birds. Additionally, I was amazed by the buffalos’ ability to support so many species with only its tracks and footprints. For example, some species of bird rely on buffalo tracks to collect water for hydration, and antelope use buffalo tracks to help them forage through snow during the winter. Moreover, I like how the video made me realize that all humans, including myself, play an important part in the ecosystem, and asserted that we are not simply watching from the sidelines.
The video, “The Surprising Species that Everything Else Depends On" really opened my eyes to how keystone species could make or break an ecosystem. It is incredible how species such as wildebeests or bison essentially hold an ecosystem on their shoulders, and help them thrive and function. I find it very important we learn about these species because without them, we would not be able to keep ecosystems alive, or rebuild them. The fact that all the other animals rely on how a keystone species like wildebeests eat or exist in general is astonishing. I also find it interesting how us as humans play a role in these ecosystems, and are not just watching on the outside. This video made me realize that although the keystone species hold together and help their ecosystems, we can do so as well if we make the right choices.
The video, "How Food Waste is Turned Into Plastic, Hair Extensions and More (Business Insider)," describes many ways for turning food waste into useful things such as plastic, plates, and everyday items. This video shows a very creative way of using wastes to make products. This video amazed me with the variety of ways that wastes can be turned into something useful. One example from the video in which waste was turned into something we use was mangos. Mango waste were used to make many things such as vegan leather and wallets. This is incredible with what these companies are during to help save the environment. Reducing wastes and turning them into things is one of the best ways that can protect the Earth. Although, making these things can take a lot of time, it is beneficial and important in the end.
The video "Experts stunned by organ death reversal" was interesting because of the new way to preserve organs in a state that wont damage them when used for transplants because when organs stop because of no blood flow the organs lose oxygen slowly falling into oxygen deprivation. I found it incredible how they used OrganEx to tackle that problem and preserve organs and show cell repair. It is amazing because now organs can be stored for longer and wont be damaged and then can be used to help more patients in hospitals that need them. OrganEx hemoglobin also prevents blood clots so people will be less likely to have heart attacks which will reduce the risk of further altercations down the line.
The video, "Experts Stunned by Organ Death Reversal" was fascinating. Getting an organ transplant can be life-changing, but there are also many possible risks. As mentioned in the video the organs can't survive long without oxygen, and sometimes even when cells in the body receive oxygen after being deprived of it it can cause more damage in a process called reoxygenation injury. Another risk includes the body rejecting the organ entirely. I thought the experiment with the OrganEx system on the pigs was interesting. It was interesting to find out that regular methods of treating "patients" under those circumstances were not successful. Instead, the OrganEx was successful in restoring the organs to health. This is a great example of scientists are able to come together and come up with a solution to a common problem and how medicine is constantly evolving and changing.
In the video, "Experts Stunned by Organ Death Reversal" Hank Green informs us of some exciting news. I previously thought that there was no way to preserve the organs for longer periods of time, besides keeping them in ice. After watching the video, I was stunned that researchers were experimenting on pigs to come up with a solution. Although I feel weird about the killing of these pigs to further biological advancement, It is fascinating to see the results of the study. OrganEx was able to not only preserve the organs but also keep them fresh. I hope that this experiment will provide successful organ transplants in the future.
At present, the average American person throws out 1000 pounds of waste annually, meaning that over 360 million pounds of waste are being dumped into landfills from just one country. Burning this waste also releases harmful chemicals into the atmosphere which can result in more consequences. The introduction of sustainable substitutes such as mango leather or pineapple plates poses a solution to combat the exorbitant amounts of landfill. I found it comforting to see that many companies like Saathi (a company producing biodegradable sanitary pads) are taking steps toward sustainability as well as going the extra mile to support minorities like farmers and educating and supplying their products to women who cannot afford it. Though these products may help curb a small percentage of waste it does not serve as a solution to the larger problem, the fact that crude oil is far cheaper than the extensive process taken to convert something like mango pulp to faux leather. Price is serves as the deciding factor as many people choose the plastic alternative simply due to its affordability. In order to take steps towards reducing human waste, we must take small ones towards taking plastic and other single-use products out of the spotlight. Banning single-use bags in the state of New Jersey was a great initiative that forced people to start using reusable bags, a far better alternative. Though we are far away from finding a one stop solution to plastic, I am optimistic that new innovations will emerge as a result of the current technology.
In the video “How Food Waste is Turned Into Plastic, Hair Extensions, and More”, it was interesting to see how food waste is being used to create new products that we use in our daily lives. It’s amazing that companies find innovative ways to reuse waste and make it into something new people would purchase. The more we find ways to turn waste into useful products, the more likely we are to clean the Earth. I thought it was interesting how mangoes are being used to make vegan leather and that the banana stems are being used to make sanitary products. Instead of waste going into landfills and causing more methane emissions, it’s being reused and beneficially affecting the environment. A huge issue the cost this all takes to manufactures. It’s hard for small companies to put this much money into making products out of reused items. If everyone in the world was on board to reusing food waste, it would be much cheaper and more companies would participate. As for now, I’m happy that companies are doing the best they can on their own to turn wasteful products into reuseful items, even though it may be costly.
I loved watching "Experts "Stunned" by Organ Death Reversal" by the SciShow which I might add is one of my favorite channels to watch when I'm bored. I found the concept of this new technology to be both very intriguing and somewhat unsettling. I believe that the preserving of the organs is merely one aspect of the overall situation. They claimed to have utilized a synthetic form of hemoglobin to improve oxygen delivery to the cells, but as we all know, too much hemoglobin can thicken the blood and lead to blood clots. How do we know that the thickened blood over time may not come to a blood clot and at times may be quite serious, even if they did claim that they would be able to prevent this? I understand that every surgery or implant has potential risks, but it's always a good idea to have questions answered to be on the safe side of things as good as the equipment may be.
In the video "Experts 'Stunned' by Organ Death Reversal (SciShow)", the invention of OrganEx could be incredibly impactful if it can safely and effectively be used for humans. Organs are extremely valuable; the estimated price tags for certain organs reach hundreds of thousands. There are news stories of people in need receiving kidney donations from family or community members to avoid extremely long waits to get a match. They are so valuable that there exist illegal practices such as organ harvesting and organ trade. This new technology has the potential to reduce these illegal practices. However, this is given that the procedure using synthetic hemoglobin is not terribly expensive nor only available to the wealthy upper class. On another note, reoxygenation injury reminds me of something called refeeding syndrome. When a human is deprived of food and nutrients, the chemicals and fluids in the body become imbalanced, and the reintroduction of solid food would produce a violent, possibly even fatal, response. In the traditional method of using an artificial lung and pumping the blood cells back into the body, the reintroduction of oxygenated cells after a period of oxygen deprivation causes reoxygenation injury. The deprivation, followed by reintroduction, and then damage to the body is the common thread between these two types of bodily harm.
In the video "How Food Waste is Turned Into Plastic, Hair Extensions and More (Business Insider)" we are shown businesses that turn food waste into regular things we use everyday. I think this is an amazing way to reduce pollution. Instead of sending all this waste to landfills, they are repurposing it in a way that would be beneficial to our planet by helping reduce climate change and saving our resources. I thought this video was a great way to spread awareness about all the pollution from food waste and how we can use it. If more people purchase their products we would all be contributing to a great cause.
The video, “How Food Waste Is Turned Into Plastic, Hair Extensions, And More” is interesting because there is a lot of worldwide waste and being able to use this waste towards manufacturing other products makes a greate usage out of this waste. It is interesting how unused fruit and vegetable waste are transformed, such as mangos being used to create vegan leather and the pineapples being used to create plates. Instead of sending the waste to landfills, six companies are making great usage of this waste, making the environment healthier and cleaner. Cutting down food waste helps prevent pollution, reduces methane emissions from landfills, and lowers carbon footprint. Also, food waste has significant costs that should be lowered down. The six companies are doing a great job trying to prevent any negative impacts on the environment. However, more people could help out as well by wasting less food and not purchasing excess food.

The video "How Food Waste is Turned Into Plastic, Hair Extensions and More (Business Insider)" discusses the benefits of repurposing biowaste and assists in climate change awareness. Personally, I believe that these small businesses could be the key to our planet's survival. The methods they use reduce our carbon footprint and emit less pollution. I was especially shocked by the secrecy of one of the businesses. They did not want others to be copying their "recipe". I feel that if they shared this "recipe" with the world, more sustainable products would be manufactured. This could lead to a more eco-friendly future. In addition, I was shocked that bananas are one of the main food waste that these businesses are using. I have only ever seen people using banana peels for compost, but I never thought that the rest of the banana plant itself could be used. On top of that, I wish that more people used these products. If the majority of the population starts investing in these businesses, our world will become a better place. Overall, this video increased my awareness of sustainability.
The first point that the video “How Food Waste Is Turned Into Plastic, Hair Extensions, And More“ is a vey important point that people fail to give importance to. Every bit of trash that a person makes and sends off to conventional landfills creates methane. There are definitely areas that collect that methane and convert it into a power source, but that isn’t the case everywhere, and composting also may not be feasible for every household. In addition to that, the amount of organic waste that the agricultural industry adds is probably millions of tons of waste that can be used to make something that is reducing the amount of methane that is released: which is starting to become more relevant as we start to see temperatures rise all around this country. The first example in the video, the mango vegan leather, is a great example of how something that could be going to the landfill, because the quality control mangos cannot be sold, can be used to create something entirely new. However the problem with these products become that they can’t compete as effectively in the market. Their prices are going to have to be higher, because it is a more time taking process, a newer process that is still on its way to maximum perfection and efficiency. This situation is very similar to the idea of packaged, processed food versus organic produce. It’s not necessarily that organic is way more expensive, its just that packaged, processed food is extremely cheap. So, it comes down to us as consumers to be more aware of the products we are using. If you decide to buy a leather product, look at if it is vegan or not, and if its made out of plastic or something organic like fruit.
After watching the video, “ How Food Waste is Turned Into Plastic, Hair Extensions and More (Business Insider)”, I found it incredible how food waste can be converted into everyday items. The fact that this production protects the environment is truly fascinating and kept me wanting to learn more. A common material used was banana plant stems, since the stem only fruits once in its lifetime, leading to an abundance of waste. Although I knew that banana peels can be used for compost, or fertilizer, I did not know that the plant stem could be put to good use. The banana stems produce items like textiles and sanitary pads, which is amazing. It is remarkable how items, such as avocado pits and pineapple crowns, which would otherwise be considered “garbage” can be transformed into useful products including bioplastic utensils and plates. The food industry today results in tons of garbage each year, which often end up in landfills or contribute to excessive greenhouse gas emissions. The only issue we now experience is that because these products are time consuming to manufacture and are often more costly than products, which are not Earth friendly, they tend to be sold at a higher price. As a result, consumers will typically purchase the products which are cheaper, yet harmful to the environment. If companies lower prices, they will be unable to earn profits that are high enough and therefore discontinue manufacturing goods. I feel that the government should fund or donate money to some of these companies, as this will allow for business owners to lower their prices. I believe that this is necessary, because if people do not purchase the biodegradable products, these businesses will shut down and the tons of food waste will continue to destroy our planet. After watching this video, I was more hopeful of a brighter future, as we can remove food waste from our planet by recycling, and therefore clean our planet.
In the video, "The Surprising Species That Everything Else Depends On | IN OUR NATURE," wildlife habitats were observed to determine that a keystone species exists which regulates all wildlife living in that area. One thing that caught my attention was how bison were mentioned as being a keystone species. In North America, there were originally 300 million bison which dwindled down, leaving the humans and wildlife in severe conditions. I questioned if another species could become the new keystone species. For example, if the bison went into extinction, there could have been the potential for another species to rise and regulate the ecosystem. I further questioned this with the wildebeests, curious as to if another animal such as the zebra or giraffes would regulate the habitat if the wildebeests were dead. If a keystone species is exterminated in the near future, it would be beneficial to study the territory to see if other animals might become the new regulators. It would also be interesting to see variations in the animals or environment that might have occurred if another keystone species took over.
The video I chose to watch was “Experts Stunned by Organ Death Reversal”. After watching the video in its entirety I remembered a development that happened a couple of years back revolving around 3D printing and the utilization of it in organ transplantation. Though it is still in development, 3D printing organs became an idea because of the fact that it would become widely accessible and help alleviate the issue surrounding organ donation: the patient’s body rejects the donated organ, and the list for organ donations is long. With this method scientists are still trying to figure out a fool proof way to use a patients cells in order to reproduce a viable organ that could be used as a replacement. This development reminded me of the video because of the fact that for one issue (organ transplants) scientists are trying to develop multiple ways to solve it. Mainly to make it more affordable and efficient. As the years go on and as technology advances hopefully procedures in the medical field will become more accessible as well as feasible for patients all over the world.
I enjoyed watching the video “How Food Waste is Turned Into Plastic, Hair Extensions and More” because it made me glad to know that people around the world are taking initiative to decrease the amount of food waste going into landfills to limit methane emissions, thus helping the environment. New technologies and ideas of being created, and it is important to use the resources and knowledge we have to help the environment as much as we can, especially since global warming levels are increasing. Out of all of the companies featured in the video, my favorite was the company that used the stems of banana trees to make sanitary pads. In India, not many people have access to pads, especially if they live in villages. I think that it is amazing that this company not only makes biodegradable pads from food waste, but also distributes them to those in need and educates communities about menstruation. In all, I think that all of these companies are helping us lean towards a more eco-friendly future, and hopefully, more people will be inspired to invent other ways of utilizing waste and limiting greenhouse gas emissions.
In SciShow's video titled "Experts "Stunned" by Organ Death Reversal", I found it surprising how oxygen is a major component of organ donations and that despite later presence of oxygen in blood vessels, even further damage can occur. The concept of reoxygenation injury and its effects on the cells of organs was surprising as I previously would have thought that simply reading oxygen into the blood would fix the issue. Rather, organs are much more sensitive, beginning to die early on and risk forming clots inside of blood. Its even more fascinating how something as small as hemoglobin, which carries oxygen, can be synthesised to stop and even reverse the effects of reoxygenation injury. As the study conducted with pigs produced great results with the use of synthetic hemoglobin in a control environment, it makes me excited to see how OrganEx can be used in human cases. In addition, the video covers genetic testing and rat sprem donations from styrile mice. A shocking study using chimeras revealed the possibility of fertilizing endangered species through prevailing species of animals. Its interesting to see how scientific advancement can rejuvinate species and further increase the life expectancy of humans.
The video “Experts ‘Stunned’ by Organ Death Reversal” piqued my curiosity of the future of medicine. Organ transplantation has grown significantly over the years, and I admire the efforts to improve this vital system. I was aware that recipients could reject an organ, however, I found reoxygenation injury interesting. An issue with organ transplants is that there are not enough organs to donate. While OrganEx still has a long way to go, I hope it works so that a person can receive an organ without experiencing reoxygenation injury. I enjoy reading about medical discoveries or advancements, especially when it involves new technology. While medical advancements have significantly helped people live longer, it saddens me that some of these medical solutions must be tested on other animals in order to be effective. I sincerely hope scientists find a safe way to breed endangered species because it will help in preventing species from becoming extinct and, as a result, prevent affecting the environment. I also wonder if OrganEx can be used for purposes other than transplants. For example, using it when a patient's heart stops or for a stroke.
The video “Experts “Stunned by Organ Death Reversal”” by SciShow News was a very interesting article as I learned information regarding organ transplants and its dangers. Previously I thought that organ transplants had to be done immediately and that if not the organ would not function in a new body but this is false as this whole video explains new methods in successfully transferring organs after sometime when cell breakdown might have occured. The use of synthetic blood to oxygenate organ cells was also very interesting. After doing some research on synthetic blood I found that its only purpose is to bring oxygen and carbon dioxide to the body. It is made using chemicals that contain fluorine and carbon as elements. I never knew that synthetic blood was used in humans let alone used to aid in the process of organ transplants. I wonder if they’re are any dangers when using synthetic blood especially as OrganEx is including additives in the blood to help with blood clots. There have been multiple side effects with early artificial blood. The FDA has also not approved an artificial blood product yet, so it is definitely important to keep an eye on the effects of OrganEx’s method. I hope their method works as organ transplants are extremely vital in saving lives and I am looking forward to seeing improvements in their method and this field.
In the video "Experts "Stunned" by Organ Death Reversal", a new technique to move blood through a body that has lost circulation, called OrganEx, is tested in pigs. It uses a synthetic hemoglobin that is mixed with blood and circulated. It closely mimics the the bodies natural circulation method. In addition, the hemoglobin contains additives that reduce reoxygenation injuries. This method has been tested in pigs and has had very promising results. For the 100,000+ Americans on the National Transplant list, this could remove a risky step in the process, and minimize the chance of something going wrong.
The video "How Food Waste is Turned Into Plastic, Hair Extensions and More (Business Insider)" talks about how people use food waste and turn it into everyday usable items. These methods to make the products make it very efficient for our environment. For example it limits the amount of methane that is being released which is very beneficial to the Earth. Along with that, it reduces global warming, and produces products that are biodegradable. I am really surprised that mangos were able to be turned into leather and also how avocado pits were used to make bioplastic utensils. The banana branches that were turned into feminine pads and cloth was really interesting to see and it is for a good cause as well. These products that were being created are more eco-friendly and are much better for the environment. The waste that would’ve ended up in landfills, can be turned into products that be used by the public. I think more companies should arise in an effort to help reduce our carbon footprint as well as to reduce the number of food waste. However, the only concern with this is that these companies would have trouble competing with larger companies since more people would buy from big companies. The solution to this is that more and more companies should be founded and eventually take over the big companies which then can result in more eco-friendly corporations. Overall, I think these ways of turning waste into products is a really beneficial way to take care of the planet.
The video, “How Food Waste is Turned Into Plastic, Hair Extensions, and More”, was extremely entertaining and made me feel encouraged and excited to know that these small businesses are taking big steps to make the world more environmentally-friendly. Personally, I have a huge passion for the environment and being environmentally-friendly at all times and food waste is a major contributor to our landfills, which is damaging the Earth heavily. I was so surprised to learn that you can turn bananas into textiles, with barely any machinery that could need resources like coal that produce fossil fuels. More people need to get notice of these small businesses that are making such a big impact on the environment because these businesses don’t have much support, yet they’re doing so much. We need to support these businesses so they can make a difference in the world and impact more than just the people near them. However, I feel like one major thing that makes people not want to support or buy products from businesses like the banana textiles are the prices, but they are completely reasonable. With the time, effort, and impact these products need and have, these workers need to be supported as much as they are helping the world be more sustainable and eco-friendly.
In the video, "How Food Waste is Turned Into Plastic, Hair Extensions and More (Business Insider)" what I found interesting was that we throw out items thinking it’s just going to the trash but it turns out to be an everyday item we end up using. I knew that the stem of the banana was good for the environment but I didn’t really know in detail. A banana stem can be turned into sanitary pads and in this day they are very necessary. We also need to figure out ways to make more uses of our trash like this and implement it into everyday society to make a cleaner earth
In the video, “How Food Waste Is Turned Into Plastic, Hair Extensions, And More” by Business Insider, the narrator discusses a series of different inventions that uses food waste to create products (that are usually made unsustainably with materials such as plastic and petroleum) to reduce people’s carbon footprints. For example, the narrator discusses a company, Fruit Leather, based out of the Netherlands, that uses the pulp of mangoes to create leather which I found extremely interesting. Although vegan leather has become extremely popular in recent years and can be made from sustainable materials such as fruit waste, can also make it from materials such as polyurethane which is a type of plastic. Furthermore, because of Tik Tok, vegan leather pants have spiked in popularity, and I found myself looking at this specific pair that also went viral on Tik Tok. Nevertheless, these pants are created with a material called polyurethane which is very unsustainable as it is created by plastic (which makes the products cheaper) that takes years to decompose. Big companies like these have their leather products also created with polyurethane and have become increasingly popular because they are advertised as cruelty-free, but people aren't aware of how it increases our carbon footprint. However, if companies like Fruit Leather can figure out a way to make the production process cheaper, bigger clothing companies can stop using polyurethane and use fruit waste instead. Besides this, I also found the idea of banana sanitary pads interesting as well because the company is based out of India and I know how much of a problem period poverty is in India and how it is considered taboo there. Personally, I also know how items such as sanitary pads aren’t readily accessible there as it is in America especially in smaller villages causing many to use old clothes or rags that can put women at risk for infection. However, this company that uses banana waste to create them not only donated them, but educated other women helping with period poverty. Overall, I found this video extremely interesting because I didn’t know that so many items can be made by food waste and it will make me think twice about what a mango or a pineapple crown can do.
After watching the video “Experts Stunned by Organ Death Reversal” by SciShow, I thought back to one of the articles that we first reviewed during this summer assignment, the one titled “Soft sounds numb pain. Researchers may now know why”. When the video covered the studies and tests done on pigs using induced heart attacks, I thought back to how the previous article we had reviewed mentioned pain relief in animals and wondered if they had done anything similar during the tests with the pigs. I looked into it using https://blogs.bmj.com/medical-ethics/2022/08/12/the-ethics-of-organex/, which stated that the pigs were fully sedated before death and did not feel any effects of the heart attack or the rest of the results of the experiment.
In the video “Experts ‘Stunned’ by Organ Death Reversal”, I was surprised that the new findings of OrganEx can actually not only help preserve organs but also repair them. As it said in the video, when blood is pumped into artificial lungs and then pumped back into the body, cell damage may still occur. With this method, they take a form of hemoglobin and mix it with the body's blood. I find this interesting because they seem like similar methods, but have different outcomes. Later in the video, they start talking about the research on the conservation of animals that are near extinction. I find it interesting how even with the genetics of a different type of species, it is still possible to save a whole other species. I want to learn more about how genetics work and how we as humans can control them. Both these new findings just show how society is becoming more advanced in not only technology but ways to save people and our environment.
As I was watching the video, “Experts Stunned by Organ Death Reversal,” I was fascinated. As I’m someone who hopes to have a career in which organ transplants are crucial, I was very interested in the innovations that have been being made in this field. I found it interesting how hemoglobin can be synthesized to reverse deoxygenation injury. The deoxygenation of organs was problematic, as it made valuable organs unusable anymore. This solution to preserving organs until they are transplanted could be groundbreaking. This is because sometimes, rarely, organs would no longer be viable once they reach the patient. With this, organ transport and transplants would become much easier.
After watching the video, "Experts 'Stunned' by Organ Death Reversal", I was enlightened of many things. I had no idea how difficult and arduous it is to keep an organ acceptable for a recipient. I never put much thought into how crucial something as simple as oxygen is for keeping an organ alive. There are so many factors to think of in the preservation of an organ. OrganEx allows organ donors whose circulation ceased after dying to be able to still donate their organs. The creation of this synthetic hemoglobin could not only help preserve organs but also help many people with heart problems. The artificial hemoglobin could extend their life and enhance their comfort. This blood substitute could also greatly help people who need blood. They wouldn't have to wait to get a donor's blood who has the same blood type as them. Overall, the creation of artificial hemoglobin can significantly alter the medical field and change lives.
The video "How Food Waste is Turned Into Plastic, Hair Extensions and More” interested me because it was interesting to see how what we can consider unusable can be transformed into something that people can use in their everyday lives. I think that these methods can save the environment by making certain products biodegradable. This would limit the amount of time that plastics and waste remains on the Earth. The video also reminds me of the anecdote “one man’s trash is another’s man’s treasure.” What may seem like waste to some is an outlet to reduce waste and reuse materials for another.
The video, “How Food Waste is Turned Into Plastic, Hair Extensions and More (Business Insider)", was a good insight into not only how much food is wasted around the world but how businesses can make beneficial new products. The amount of food waste that each person contributes to causes the implantation of methane in the environment. This in turn is a negative effect because methane has proven to be a greenhouse gas that creates a layer of insulation in the atmosphere affecting global warming and climate change. The way food was turned into products that can be purchased was fascinating to me because I would have never thought that mangoes could be used to make vegan leather. It was also innovative how they used the stems of the bananas- since they only produce fruit once- to make sanitary products. I believe that the thought and idea behind taking food waste and making it into necessary products are super beneficial but it is very costly. Since it is just businesses doing this without assistance from the government or government-affiliated companies, they cannot afford to keep prices at super cheap prices. With this, people tend to buy environmentally unfriendly products which in turn keeps the prices of the friendly products very high. If these businesses got support from the government or businesses that are very financially stable, we could see bigger results. Although major support has not been shown yet, there is hope that we could see some in the future which could potentially help the planet.
After watching the video, “The Surprising Species that Everything Else Depends On”, I was fascinated by the huge role keystone species have within their ecosystems. I was surprised to also learn that small actions can have big impacts on the ecosystem. For instance, the Wildebeests’ grassy diet creates little grass in the ecosystem. As a result, the ecosystem experiences far fewer wildfires, allowing more trees to grow and cultivate. With an abundance of trees, the ecosystem can support a vast amount of other species, including giraffes, elephants, and birds. Additionally, I was amazed by the buffalos’ ability to support so many species with only its tracks and footprints. For example, some species of bird rely on buffalo tracks to collect water for hydration, and antelope use buffalo tracks to help them forage through snow during the winter. Moreover, I like how the video made me realize that all humans, including myself, play an important part in the ecosystem, and asserted that we are not simply watching from the sidelines.
The video, “The Surprising Species that Everything Else Depends On" really opened my eyes to how keystone species could make or break an ecosystem. It is incredible how species such as wildebeests or bison essentially hold an ecosystem on their shoulders, and help them thrive and function. I find it very important we learn about these species because without them, we would not be able to keep ecosystems alive, or rebuild them. The fact that all the other animals rely on how a keystone species like wildebeests eat or exist in general is astonishing. I also find it interesting how us as humans play a role in these ecosystems, and are not just watching on the outside. This video made me realize that although the keystone species hold together and help their ecosystems, we can do so as well if we make the right choices.
The video, "How Food Waste is Turned Into Plastic, Hair Extensions and More (Business Insider)," describes many ways for turning food waste into useful things such as plastic, plates, and everyday items. This video shows a very creative way of using wastes to make products. This video amazed me with the variety of ways that wastes can be turned into something useful. One example from the video in which waste was turned into something we use was mangos. Mango waste were used to make many things such as vegan leather and wallets. This is incredible with what these companies are during to help save the environment. Reducing wastes and turning them into things is one of the best ways that can protect the Earth. Although, making these things can take a lot of time, it is beneficial and important in the end.
The video "Experts stunned by organ death reversal" was interesting because of the new way to preserve organs in a state that wont damage them when used for transplants because when organs stop because of no blood flow the organs lose oxygen slowly falling into oxygen deprivation. I found it incredible how they used OrganEx to tackle that problem and preserve organs and show cell repair. It is amazing because now organs can be stored for longer and wont be damaged and then can be used to help more patients in hospitals that need them. OrganEx hemoglobin also prevents blood clots so people will be less likely to have heart attacks which will reduce the risk of further altercations down the line.
The video, "Experts Stunned by Organ Death Reversal" was fascinating. Getting an organ transplant can be life-changing, but there are also many possible risks. As mentioned in the video the organs can't survive long without oxygen, and sometimes even when cells in the body receive oxygen after being deprived of it it can cause more damage in a process called reoxygenation injury. Another risk includes the body rejecting the organ entirely. I thought the experiment with the OrganEx system on the pigs was interesting. It was interesting to find out that regular methods of treating "patients" under those circumstances were not successful. Instead, the OrganEx was successful in restoring the organs to health. This is a great example of scientists are able to come together and come up with a solution to a common problem and how medicine is constantly evolving and changing.
In the video, "Experts Stunned by Organ Death Reversal" Hank Green informs us of some exciting news. I previously thought that there was no way to preserve the organs for longer periods of time, besides keeping them in ice. After watching the video, I was stunned that researchers were experimenting on pigs to come up with a solution. Although I feel weird about the killing of these pigs to further biological advancement, It is fascinating to see the results of the study. OrganEx was able to not only preserve the organs but also keep them fresh. I hope that this experiment will provide successful organ transplants in the future.
At present, the average American person throws out 1000 pounds of waste annually, meaning that over 360 million pounds of waste are being dumped into landfills from just one country. Burning this waste also releases harmful chemicals into the atmosphere which can result in more consequences. The introduction of sustainable substitutes such as mango leather or pineapple plates poses a solution to combat the exorbitant amounts of landfill. I found it comforting to see that many companies like Saathi (a company producing biodegradable sanitary pads) are taking steps toward sustainability as well as going the extra mile to support minorities like farmers and educating and supplying their products to women who cannot afford it. Though these products may help curb a small percentage of waste it does not serve as a solution to the larger problem, the fact that crude oil is far cheaper than the extensive process taken to convert something like mango pulp to faux leather. Price is serves as the deciding factor as many people choose the plastic alternative simply due to its affordability. In order to take steps towards reducing human waste, we must take small ones towards taking plastic and other single-use products out of the spotlight. Banning single-use bags in the state of New Jersey was a great initiative that forced people to start using reusable bags, a far better alternative. Though we are far away from finding a one stop solution to plastic, I am optimistic that new innovations will emerge as a result of the current technology.
In the video “How Food Waste is Turned Into Plastic, Hair Extensions, and More”, it was interesting to see how food waste is being used to create new products that we use in our daily lives. It’s amazing that companies find innovative ways to reuse waste and make it into something new people would purchase. The more we find ways to turn waste into useful products, the more likely we are to clean the Earth. I thought it was interesting how mangoes are being used to make vegan leather and that the banana stems are being used to make sanitary products. Instead of waste going into landfills and causing more methane emissions, it’s being reused and beneficially affecting the environment. A huge issue the cost this all takes to manufactures. It’s hard for small companies to put this much money into making products out of reused items. If everyone in the world was on board to reusing food waste, it would be much cheaper and more companies would participate. As for now, I’m happy that companies are doing the best they can on their own to turn wasteful products into reuseful items, even though it may be costly.
I loved watching "Experts "Stunned" by Organ Death Reversal" by the SciShow which I might add is one of my favorite channels to watch when I'm bored. I found the concept of this new technology to be both very intriguing and somewhat unsettling. I believe that the preserving of the organs is merely one aspect of the overall situation. They claimed to have utilized a synthetic form of hemoglobin to improve oxygen delivery to the cells, but as we all know, too much hemoglobin can thicken the blood and lead to blood clots. How do we know that the thickened blood over time may not come to a blood clot and at times may be quite serious, even if they did claim that they would be able to prevent this? I understand that every surgery or implant has potential risks, but it's always a good idea to have questions answered to be on the safe side of things as good as the equipment may be.
In the video "Experts 'Stunned' by Organ Death Reversal (SciShow)", the invention of OrganEx could be incredibly impactful if it can safely and effectively be used for humans. Organs are extremely valuable; the estimated price tags for certain organs reach hundreds of thousands. There are news stories of people in need receiving kidney donations from family or community members to avoid extremely long waits to get a match. They are so valuable that there exist illegal practices such as organ harvesting and organ trade. This new technology has the potential to reduce these illegal practices. However, this is given that the procedure using synthetic hemoglobin is not terribly expensive nor only available to the wealthy upper class. On another note, reoxygenation injury reminds me of something called refeeding syndrome. When a human is deprived of food and nutrients, the chemicals and fluids in the body become imbalanced, and the reintroduction of solid food would produce a violent, possibly even fatal, response. In the traditional method of using an artificial lung and pumping the blood cells back into the body, the reintroduction of oxygenated cells after a period of oxygen deprivation causes reoxygenation injury. The deprivation, followed by reintroduction, and then damage to the body is the common thread between these two types of bodily harm.
In the video "How Food Waste is Turned Into Plastic, Hair Extensions and More (Business Insider)" we are shown businesses that turn food waste into regular things we use everyday. I think this is an amazing way to reduce pollution. Instead of sending all this waste to landfills, they are repurposing it in a way that would be beneficial to our planet by helping reduce climate change and saving our resources. I thought this video was a great way to spread awareness about all the pollution from food waste and how we can use it. If more people purchase their products we would all be contributing to a great cause.
The video, “How Food Waste Is Turned Into Plastic, Hair Extensions, And More” is interesting because there is a lot of worldwide waste and being able to use this waste towards manufacturing other products makes a greate usage out of this waste. It is interesting how unused fruit and vegetable waste are transformed, such as mangos being used to create vegan leather and the pineapples being used to create plates. Instead of sending the waste to landfills, six companies are making great usage of this waste, making the environment healthier and cleaner. Cutting down food waste helps prevent pollution, reduces methane emissions from landfills, and lowers carbon footprint. Also, food waste has significant costs that should be lowered down. The six companies are doing a great job trying to prevent any negative impacts on the environment. However, more people could help out as well by wasting less food and not purchasing excess food.
