  1. Citrus peels and pulp have to high an acidity to be good for composting, beware – adding it to your home pile will likely kill many microorganisms necessary for the composting process.

  2. why are there no hate comments toward the adversary fruit company that lended a hand in preventing this project of benevolence out of pure jealousy?? Greedy capitalists like them deserve every bits of hatred from the working people, they are willing to destroy small businesses and the environment just for some petty money.

  3. Not surprised at all. Composters do this everyday. The hard part is getting greedy companies to spend a few bucks to help the earth instead of their bottom line.

  4. So what happened to Tico Fruit. They set the potential of orange peels as a useful item back 16yrs, slandered the name of their rival, probably cost the 2 scientists their reputations and destroyed this project for greed. There should be accountability for their actions and the Supreme Court of Costa Rica who I'm sure took bribes from Tico Fruit should all be held financially liable and accountable.

  5. Smart, cheap, creative solutions are better than crazy schemes imposed by tyrannical governments being manipulated by megalomaniacs, like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos and various others.

  6. WTF??? What an absolutely terrible video. The info is sound enough, but everything else about this is at best C minus grade middle-school shtick. Oh, wait, is this channel geared for that demographic? If so, then carry on.

  7. Regarding the Gobi Desert, "miles" (or kilometers) are length and not area. On the other hand, SQUARE miles of desert makes sense. Is that what you meant? Please edit more conscientiously.

    There was this skinny old fellow, walks into this office looking for a job as a logger. The clerk looks at him dubiously, not sure if he could even wield an ax. "Well, what kind of experience do you have? Where did you work last?"
    "The Sahara Forrest," replied the man. "You mean Sahara Desert," said the clerk.
    "That's What theey call it now."

  8. what a big bs only apartment eco "warriors" can beliebe. EVERY land in rain forest area will be full of big trees after some years. BUT there is no diversity! no fruits, no nuts…. the first growing trees grows VERY fast to gave shadow to the soil and the useful trees that will grow there. so, nothing special, with or without orange would be a forest there.

  9. This seems beyond obvious, and would likely work with other organic material beyond orange peels. Hell, I grew up in a rural area in a temperate zone, where this process would halt in the cool season. And even our standard compost pile would have plants vigorously sprouting up from it… not just standard grass sprouting up. Diverse plants, growing vigorously. Ditching non-poisonous (cleaned, no insecticides) agricultural mass onto otherwise poor soil? Obviously, that’s going to be a good thing. It likely doesn’t matter whether it’s orange peels, banana peels, apple cores, etc. I’m sure certain types are better than others. And as noted in the coffee section of this video, there could be some downsides that we need to be careful of (like runoff into waterways). So, I’m not saying these are perfect, foolproof solutions… everyone just toss your fruit and veg leftovers everywhere! No. But what I am saying is that this shouldn’t really be a revelation. Humans have been using “compost” for centuries. Obviously, bio waste will aid in environmental recovery. And given how much human food waste there is, we need to do much, much more of this. Yes, we need to take care, as there can be some negative side effects, but it should be pursued far more aggressively… especially since it’s a fairly inexpensive endeavor, as we’re dealing with waste that will otherwise be disposed of.

  10. I've heard that if you eat the inside of an orange peel rind that it can help to open up clogged arteries and veins.

  11. It's not the coffee that was the reason for the extreme growth you take any living thing and compost it the right way you create a rich superfood for plants to grow in and the microbiology flourish that together with the soil seed bank will turn around any degraded land

    With the right amount sun air water and time and disturbance any land will flourish

    It's the composting that did the trick here

  12. Just need a deserted island around the equator to ship the world's food waste to so it can compost, then ship it back around the world to save our soil 😂

  13. Only South Americans can be so dumb not to expect orange peels will basically serve as fertilizer. Just look at their composition

  14. Climate change??? Lol. Please, spare us your futile view on pure weather changes. This is a curious movement. No science at all, but that’s ok for these people. It’s the feeling they get from being self righteous. 🥱

  15. If only all the healthy food is thrown in the desert land of this planet (plant and meat and waste, stuff that's good for soil)

  16. It is hard to follow this video. It is a mixture of a fairy tale for grown-ups, and 5% of information.

  17. We need to do this again. Restoring the main rainforests should be an entire human effort. And cleaning our water supplies.

  18. Just to prevent people from thinking plants actually like caffeine: Coffee grounds or pulp fertilizes plants due to its nitrogen rich composition. Nothing else. Please don't believe everything you hear in "educational" videos.

  19. 60 percent of all agricultural land is used to produce feed for meat production. Humans can easily feed ourselves into the future, we just have to eat less meat. I encourage everyone to just reduce their meat consumption.

  20. You should make it clear in your measurements that you are talking about square miles/km. 12:45 "consuming 2250 miles of grassland" is very different to 2250 square miles. Yes, it should be obvious. But we live in strange times.
