| 0:00.0 | So here's the truth. In this particular neighborhood in Philadelphia, the crime is low. |
| 0:06.9 | But that was actually the entire point. What we really pitched to neighbors is that this |
| 0:12.6 | is when you get involved. You get involved now to get out ahead of the crime. |
| 0:16.7 | Joe Dane of Society Hill in PA is not just referring to neighborhood watch. His neighborhood |
| 0:22.3 | hired a private security firm to protect them from that low crime. Joe had seen the problems |
| 0:27.9 | compound elsewhere. I lived right next to Beverly Hills where there are now not only ten |
| 0:32.4 | cities, there are open air drug markets, there is elevated crime. You know, I had a very |
| 0:38.3 | similar thought process that this was not going to happen in my neighborhood. |
| 0:42.4 | As of today, the third biggest private employer of people in North America is a private security |

| 1:24.9 | It's good intention, but unfortunately it's not that simple. Like plastic bags, they can be |
| 1:31.4 | recycled, but not when they're mixed in with other recyclables. They can clog sorting machines |
| 1:37.0 | and cause an entire batch of recyclables to end up in the landfill. |
| 1:42.6 | So a little bit of research goes a long way. Look up your city's recycling program to find out |
| 1:48.6 | what they can take and make a plan for items they can't. It's normal to feel overwhelmed by the |
| 1:54.4 | plastic crisis, but what keeps me hopeful is taking small actions every single day, knowing that those |
| 2:01.0 | actions add up. Learn more about how to end the wish cycle at SC Johnson.com slash action matters. |
