    100 tires wasn't enough? Not even 200. But 2,000,000 tires just dumped with no research on the environmental effects. Sounds like they just wanted to get rid of tires and didn't have a better idea

    Shred the tires and use them with asphalt to make the roads last longer and ride smother. Its been tested in northern Arizona where the weather is cold and snowy during the winter. The Asphalt industry said no to longer lasting roads.

    • @holeymcsockpuppet
      @holeymcsockpuppet Před měsícem +29

      They asphalt lobby prevents this. Yes, there's a powerful asphalt lobby. Constant resurfacing of roads is VERY profitable. Think about it. Bad roads destroy tires and shock absorbers...so those companies profit. Gas mileage goes down due to construction traffic jams...so gas companies profit.
      Asphalt manufacturers and petrochemical companies profit from the manufacturing of the asphalt. Companies that handle disposal/recycling of old asphalt also profit. Corporations that do the road repairs profit. Politicians profit from kickbacks and campaign "donations".
      It's like heathcare. There is no profit in fixing a problem...only in ongoing treatment.

      I saw a fence here on CZcams made from used tires in Africa. Some use the treads as soles for shoes. Earthships use tires as part of their foundation walls. They are a kind of half- underground house. Docks use them against the dock wall to protect the wooden boats when they knock against the walls. Some use them as flower planters when half buried in the earth. Toxic trash is a world wide problem. The UN should study it. Also, when left lying around, they collect rainwater which then breeds mosquitos. If painted, like the ones in the African fence, perhaps the rare earth elements, etc will not escape?

      Should clean it all back up and recycle it. Pay the bills for the damaged and recycled tyre's could pay off half of the bills! It is rubber and can be recovered 🤷‍♂🤷‍♂

    The reason the cost has increased is inflation! Furthermore, the arctic ice cap is at record high for both thickness and area. So much for global warming, lol.

    Im building my second house out of tires and sandbags, and crazy my house can withstand fire, bullets, termites, and year-round 70 degrees inside even if its negative temps outside 🤷
    Pack the tires with dirt, and cover them in cement and you got almost a 3 ft thick wall, i can destroy any other house with a Bic lighter lol

    After Bob got out of prison, he started his legal tire recycling business, where he warehoused them at $1 or $2 each for those he could not resell, then stacked them to the rafters, then closed the business, and started another. The owner of his former rental, would have to hire his new business, to remove the tires. So, the more tires he got, the more he got to move them again. At the end, third world countries eventually found they could make houses out of tire walls, so, he sent most overseas for a few more bucks. But at that point, it was no longer profitable, and he started other businesses. Most of his business, was formerly from handling tires 3 times or more.

  • @pvtbuddie

    How many more tires were dumped _without_ permits since then? It seems like it would have been a handy place to hide a few illegal dumps, especially when the tires already there were relatively new.

    If you think about it... dumping tires in the ocean is probably one of the smartest things people can do with used tires. Tires are just concentration oil which more than likely started its life as plankton in an ocean anyway. In a way your just returning that carbon back to the bottom of the ocean instead of introducing it into the atmosphere.

    You know I remember hearing about this story when I lived on base in Alabama back in the 80s as a child.
    And I have the same thought than as I do now that, "This stupid it's going to pollute the water. They know what they're doing they're just trying to get rid of trash."
    I'm just as a pulse then as I am now the only difference is is 40 years.
