00:00 Excessive eating is usually a waste
00:03 But there are ways to not waste food waste
00:07 Let's watch the amazing story
00:10 If you're on Tik Tok and Aerial Acrobatics of Calugo
00:23 It's probably going viral
00:27 Like this video about the waste that can be eaten
00:31 Before you get mad,
00:34 Let's look at the important information that I will show
00:39 Waste in food
00:43 During this pandemic, Filipinos became resourceful when it comes to food
00:48 Edible waste became a hot topic
00:53 Ingredients that we are used to throwing away
00:57 But can be used for other purposes
00:59 Like watermelon peel,
01:01 Crab's egg,
01:02 And pineapple's eyes
01:04 Once upon a time, a recipe went viral
01:07 Using the banana peel that is usually thrown away
01:10 It got 1.4 million views
01:15 Jane is an electronics and communications engineer
01:19 She is known as "Malolos Bulacan's very own kusinerang inginiera"
01:25 Her viral recipe went viral because the ingredients of her banana peel patty burger steak are simple
01:33 We will only use the skin of the banana peel
01:36 Don't include the skin of the banana peel
01:38 Because it is hard and has fiber
01:41 Next, we will boil it for 2-3 minutes
01:44 To remove the dirt
01:48 Jane will remove the excess water before she will peel the banana peel
01:53 She will grate the banana peel with garlic, onion,
01:57 2 eggs,
02:00 Salt, pepper, breadcrumbs, oyster sauce, and vinegar
02:05 I will put the banana peel directly on the breadcrumbs
02:11 So that it will be easier to form and shape
02:17 Then, we will put it inside the refrigerator
02:20 So that it will hold its shape and it will be easier to fry later
02:26 Mmm... It looks delicious
02:29 The 7 banana peel turned into 7 burger patties
02:34 We have a saying
02:41 "One man's trash is another man's treasure"
02:44 It can be yours, but it is very important to others
02:48 Just like leftover food
02:52 Food
02:54 The leftover food
02:56 Thousands of poor Filipinos, especially in Metro Manila, are relying on food as a means to survive
03:05 But did you know that not only in poor countries,
03:10 there are people who throw leftover food in the trash?
03:14 Even in America, there are many people who do that
03:19 This is called "Dumpster Diving"
03:24 As long as it can be saved, they will throw it
03:30 In Arlington, Texas, one of the biggest cities in America,
03:36 there is a registered nurse who started doing dumpster diving in 2019
03:42 She is a frontliner in the day
03:46 and a trash collector at night
03:50 But why does she do it?
03:54 Our exclusive interview will tell you
03:58 Many Filipinos dream of working in America
04:03 But we have a Filipino friend who is still a trash collector
04:10 Charity Joy Marks is a Filipino
04:14 After working in Saudi Arabia, she moved to America
04:18 I came to the US in 2013
04:22 My husband and I met in the Philippines
04:25 We met back in 2010 through some friends
04:29 We got married in 2013
04:30 We both have been working as nurses
04:33 and for a few years, we were working at the same hospital
04:35 Joy and Steve are not poor
04:39 They earn the same
04:42 But why did they choose to do dumpster diving?
04:45 I watch people who do it
04:49 and I told myself, "Why don't I try it?"
04:53 "Maybe I can learn something from dumpster diving"
04:56 We go there at night
04:58 It's like you're in a grocery store
05:00 It's very economical
05:02 I soak fruits and vegetables in vinegar water for 30 minutes
05:11 I wash the sealed containers with soap
05:16 The box was open, that's the only thing wrong with it
05:19 Beautiful, tasty, fresh
05:22 She's working for the dumpster
05:25 We've been arrested by the police a few times
05:28 They just ask what we do there
05:33 or if we do anything illegal there
05:36 These are the rotten fruits
05:39 Okay
05:40 And this is the rotten pineapple
05:46 These are the soft ones
05:52 But not everyone in Joy's family eats from the dumpster
05:56 Because they have their own vegetables
06:00 I plant string beans, alugbate, tomatoes, chili, and okra
06:07 According to the United Nations,
06:10 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted every year worldwide
06:15 We bring the excess food to the donation center
06:19 Some of it is donated to my friend
06:22 I do this until my body can take it
06:26 Because food and other waste are wasted
06:32 The next thing we'll talk about is mango and seaweed
06:41 I know what you're thinking
06:43 You're going to make a salad, right?
06:45 But sorry, that's not it
06:47 I'll feed you next time
06:49 If not, plastic
06:52 Can mango peel be made into plastic?
06:55 A young scientist,
06:58 Dencibel Montinola of Cebu,
07:00 saw a good opportunity
07:01 in the waste from mango peel
07:03 Can mango and seaweed peel be made into bioplastic?
07:07 How?
07:08 There are biopolymers from mango and seaweed
07:11 This is pectin and carrageenan
07:13 When these two are combined, it becomes bioplastic
07:18 According to Dencibel,
07:19 bioplastic is strong and flexible from mango and seaweed
07:23 And the best thing about it,
07:25 this is biodegradable
07:27 Even if you throw it, it will dissolve in water
07:30 Our oceans have a big problem with garbage
07:33 Dencibel's bioplastic is a way to reduce our use of non-dissolving plastics
07:40 I hope the time will come when plastic waste will be reduced
07:45 Amazing, right?
