I am so happy to see this video! I was in Kenya in the fall of 2008 and was appalled at the amount of plastic I saw everywhere. I’m glad someone is recycling it and making a living from doing it, and providing others with jobs! =D

Hello I’d like to put this in my blog about the environment. Anyway, my blog is green bohemian living. I am going to put it up on a blog on Plastic Bags.

@jtoznel and When I went to florida for college…it was pretty sad, they had a recycling system but you had to go to the supermarket to buy blue plastic bags to put your material in…and even then it wasn’t well organized

Hi

I promote recycling in the UK. I noticed that you don’t have a link in the description of your video and was wondering if you would place a link in there to one of my websites?

This is literally 30 secs work for you and I will send you $20 instantly via paypal once done.

I will also add your youtube link or website into about 500 article directories, so you will receive more traffic.

Look forward to hearing from you soon.

John

@VolkgartenBySquirrel Damn man, i been thinking I’d like to do something like this, to help people in other countries, and make just enough money to be self sufficient. Don’t really know where to start either. We should go in on a machine together!
