ABC News Prime: Inside America’s recycling system; Helping wounded Ukraine soldiers; U.S. Navy Band

foreign [Music] good evening everyone I'm Lindsey Davis thanks so much for streaming with us on this Labor Day we begin tonight with trash The Secret Life of plastic recycling ABC News along with nine owned stations and Affiliates spent six months investigating what happened to the plastic bag sent for recycling in America what we found resulted in two of America's biggest retailers Target and Walmart being removed from a Nationwide Recycling directory it's the largest investigation of its kind

and chief National correspondent Matt Gutman has a look at a portion of trashed the secret life of plastic recycling if a lot of people really made the connection between what they put in the recycle bin what they put in the garbage and the fact that they're going to breathe it we'd have folks paying a lot closer attention we live in a world filled with plastic and many love its convenience it wraps the food we eat the packages we order the groceries we buy the United States produces more plasti

c waste than any other country on Earth but have you thought about where it all goes you may think those iconic three arrows forming a triangle mean plastic is off to a recycling plant we call it wish cycling where they think that they'll get recycled but it turns out it's not that simple a lot of people don't think of what happens they have zero idea to get a better idea of just what is happening ABC News spent the past six months examining how plastic bags are recycled teaming up with nine ABC

stations in the largest investigation of its kind it's a journey that took us Coast to Coast from incinerators I mean it looks like building size blowtorch to landfills plastibility is made for and to Washington DC because I hope you understand my first time I do deploying dozens of trackers to see just how the plastic bag recycling system in this country is working hearing from people in communities who say they're forced to live with the consequences of all this waste that's why we fight this

thing landed on top of us and we've been fighting it ever since so you think you recycle you smell it you feel it you can't breathe we cannot recycle our way out of the plastic pollution crisis it's not enough for you to put your recyclables in the recycling bin come with us as we dig into America's plastic bag recycling system to get to the bottom of what's being trashed [Music] the evidence of our Global plastic problem is all around us it's in our oceans it's washed up in our Shores it's sta

cked up in our landfills where it could take hundreds of years to decompose while plastic continues to pile up the industry has thrived going from producing two million tons of plastic worldwide in 1950 to 348 million tons in 2017. in 2020 there was more plastic in the world than the combined weight of nearly every creature on the planet it's also big business netting the industry 520 billion dollars globally every year the Plastics industry is huge it's the fossil fuel industry and the chemical

industry combined and production is expected to double by 2040 even as we struggle to deal with the plastic we use with roughly half thrown out after just a single use this issue requires everybody coming to the table so what can be done with all that plastic waste 175 member countries of the United Nations have now pledged to sign an agreement by the end of 2024 to confront what they call an epidemic of plastic pollution there is consensus that something needs to be done but not how to get it

done we need an international treaty that sets strong goals to reduce the production generation and use of plastic one of the greatest challenges is what to do specifically with plastic bags film goes in a variety of things it is an essential product proponents boast of their utility but plastic in general is difficult and expensive to recycle and bags even more so plastic bags are also among the top sources of plastic pollution worldwide plastic film well a phenomenal Innovation by our industry

more needs to be be done to make that material not just recyclable but more recycled at least 10 states have passed legislation limiting the use of plastic bags but Americans still use 100 billion bags every year the American chemistry council is a Trade Organization representing many Industries including plastic manufacturers and has lobbied heavily against limits on plastic production plastic helps us live better lives in countless ways and what makes it valuable is its potential for sustaina

bility in 2011 the ACC introduced the wrap recycling action program or rap as a way to help reduce plastic waste what happens to these bags and wraps they can be recycled into new products such as beautiful backyard decking playground equipment park benches shopping carts and bags their website states that rap is a national public awareness and Outreach initiative that works with retailers as well as local and state governments to encourage people to recycle plastic bags the vice president of th

e acc's Plastics division Joshua Baca agreed to sit down with us we want to make it easy simple and convenient for consumers so that they could do the right thing that they want to do which is recycle more products as part of that initiative the ACC promotes a nationwide directory of retail stores like Walmart and Target that show where you can bring used plastic bags and plastic film to be recycled and the stores work with third parties to pick up the bags our vision is pretty simple is we view

store drop-offs whether it's Walmart or Target or your local or grocery store as the bridge to Consumers we wanted to see how that vision is working so ABC News along with nine of our Affiliates and owned stations across the country assembled bundles of recyclable plastic bags e each of them containing a metal tracking device super glued inside then wrapped in several layers of plastic bags all right we glued it down it's nice and secure I got four our team's fanned out across 10 states droppin

g them off at Walmart and Target stores to the country's biggest retailers with hundreds of stores with bins labeled for plastic bag recycling I'm outside of a Walmart in West Hills California this is the North Side Walmart here I am in San Antonio Texas so I'm going to drop these plastic bags okay here's one of the drop-offs after the drop-offs we spent months monitoring each tracker's location multiple times a day here's where one of those air tag bags ended up the tracker is pinging whenever

a mobile phone or digital device was near we checked every location The Trackers ping from on their journey and determined they likely did not encounter plastic bags sorting and root one that could have potentially separated a Tracker from a bag one of the first trackers to move was one we deployed at a Target in Kingston New York and it showed up about a week later deep inside a New York landfill an outcome that would happen again and again around the country in all we launched 46 trackers 23 o

f them last pinged at landfills or trash incinerators seven last stopped pinging at transfer stations that don't recycle or sort plastic bags six ping at the store where they were dropped off and haven't been heard from in months for three others we can't definitively say where they ended up and three trackers were shipped to the other side of the world to Southeast Asia one tracker dropped off at a Walmart in Kingston New York traveled through New Jersey and ultimately 9 500 miles across the wo

rld to batam Indonesia another tracker dropped off by our team from Kake at a Walmart in Wichita next went to this recycling transfer station you got plastic bags we helped them finding markets for these materials markets on the other side of the globe nearly three months later our tracker showed up outside Kuala Lumpur Malaysia and a third tracker dropped off by our team from WFTV at a Walmart in Ormond Beach Florida traveling to a transfer station in Tampa Bay then to Port Wentworth Georgia we

didn't hear from this tracker for nearly two months until it pinged near a freeway in Selangor Malaysia all of them places is in the same region with plenty of plastic problems of their own it's called the plastic waste trade it's the wild west of exporting Plastics and it's causing real damage particularly in Indonesia and Malaysia you may be wondering if any of our tracker's last ping from facilities here in the U.S which say they are involved with recycling plastic bags the answer is only fo

ur did our investigation shedding light on the disturbing reality that the vast majority of the plastic we hope is recycled is not what do you make of those numbers I don't know all of the logistics that went on to make that a reality or not but here's the point that I can defend plastic film today in particular is designed to be recyclable is it being recycled at a rate that is sufficient the answer is no the most recent EPA data from 2018 shows less than 10 percent of plastic bags in the U.S a

re actually recycled Walmart and Target both declined our interview requests as well as our request to see what happens at their stores to plastic bags they collect for recycling in a statement Target said that their intention is to make it easy for our guests to recycle plastic bags and that they're committed to looking at our processes to improve our recycling efforts Walmart says they offer in-store recycling bins for plastic bags as an option for customers who may not have access to curbside

recycling and that they are pursuing initiatives to reduce the use of single-use plastic including plastic bags after learning about what we observed using our trackers and just hours before our investigation aired the research company that manages the online drop-off directory promoted by rap told us they've removed all Walmarts and targets from their list until they can confirm that their store drop-off film and bag material is being recycled rather than landfilled or incinerated are thanks t

o Matt and the entire investigative team trash The Secret Life of plastic recycling is now streaming on Hulu the National Football League recently announced they would be taking out some 78 million in loans from minority-owned banks in this country it was welcome shot in the arm after this spring saw several Regional bank failures sending shock waves through the economy as concerns surfaced over the health of our nation's financial institutions ABC's Morgan Norwood delves into the history and im

portance of black owned Banks and financial institutions for minority communities so when you think about like the way coffee goes you start with espresso people like you know just basic give me that coffee shot I always say like if a latte is the margarita the espresso is the tequila when it comes to coffee it's a passion I fell in love with the way coffee brings people together brewing for a while but Dorian bolden's Journey from Banker to Barista I'm leaving my job on Wall Street I'm moving i

n with my girlfriend uh in North Carolina I have no job yeah it freaked everybody out wasn't always an easy grind my father was in the hospital in Atlanta and flew down to see him I didn't realize I was me last time I saw him so you know it's unexpected passing just made me realize tomorrow's not guaranteed and I wanted to be kind of in control of my own path and that's what I think for me was the seed of Entre Dorian Now using espresso to express himself opening bu Cafe in downtown Durham North

Carolina in 2009. what was the most challenging part about bringing this to fruition this dream I guess if I had to pinpoint no the hardest part of course is the capital minority depositories also known as black owned Banks and Credit Unions were born out of that struggle to find Capital after the end of slavery black Americans were largely shut out of American Banks so between 1865 and 1934 more black owned Banks and Credit Unions surfaced across the country the Greenwood section of Tulsa Okla

homa would become home to what is known as Black Wall Street but in 1921 it was burned To The Ground by white supremacists and a violent race Massacre but Tulsa wasn't home to the only black Wall Street we traveled to Historic downtown Durham where mechanic and Farmers Bank the second oldest minority depository in the country is still open today so Jim it's 1908. paint the picture for Black Wall Street what was it like here in Durham it was an unbelievable ecosystem what's interesting is that pe

ople from all around the country political leaders governmental leaders Business Leaders wanted to see what was going on here in Durham on Black Wall Street I'm just doing an interview but customers come first so yeah you get priority you know I mean so you keep us going with Dorian expanding his business adding two new locations at Raleigh Durham Airport he decided to work with m f Bank to secure funding I recognized how we were not able to get funding the way I saw my white counterparts gettin

g funding recognizing the importance of having support um from a black institution it does matter according to a 2022 report by the Federal Reserve black owned businesses were about half as likely as white-owned businesses to receive all or most of the financing they requested when a black entrepreneur has access to Capital my Studies have shown that they actually outperform white businesses Bill Bynum is the CEO and one of the founding members of Hope Credit Union a black owned depository in Mi

ssissippi if you look at where slave holding was concentrated prior to the Civil War and look at that map and then look at a map today where you have the highest concentrations of payday lenders of Check Cashers the lowest education Health outcomes the worst housing conditions highest unemployment and it's an eerie resemblance you can't buy a house you can't support your family using payday lenders and check cashers you just don't have the financial tools that other people take for granted to he

lp you climb the economic ladder and a major key to Building Wealth home ownership a dream Debbie Jones achieved in Pearl Mississippi there is nothing better than owning your own home relaxing enjoying your family having family outings and all that good stuff sounds like something that you've wanted for a while yes ma'am that was a dream of your mom's dream of my moms and mine but after multiple closed doors Debbie says she began questioning if her dream would ever become a reality after she say

s she was denied a home loan from a well-known Mortgage Company but that particular loan company stated that they denied me because I didn't have the income and I knew I had the income Debbie ended up going to Hope Credit Union she says their institution used the same criteria as the first mortgage company she tried yet she was instantly approved I didn't understand why I was denied and with me working in the insurance Industries I've heard and I've seen a lot of things a lot of people have been

disenfranchised or been denied certain things because of the color of your skin if your annual income on your household of 150 000 and you're black you're more likely to be turned down for mortgage loan and if you're white with a 30 to 40 000 income so there are disparities systemic discrimination in the financial system and while minority depositories are working to close the racial wealth Gap the recent bank failures of Silicon Valley First Republic and miniature Bank have raised concerns ove

r the health of our nation's banking system a new study suggests that almost 190 U.S banks including community and minority depositories could face a similar fate if just half of their depositors took their money out well first thank you so much for inviting me to be here today it's such an important topic Nicole Elam is the president of the national Bankers Association a trade group advocating for minority depositories today small banks have 291 billion dollars Less in deposits than they did in

March at the start of the bank failures and so while the deposit flight declined in terms of after the first couple of weeks after the bank failures you saw a huge deposit flight it then stabilized but deposits is something these Banks need we have not had a run-on deposits but we are having conversations with some of our depositors who are obviously nervous most Community Banks like m f Bank were safe we're sound and our business models are not risky we're taking deposits locally and re-lendin

g those deposits out to the communities that we serve but the challenges for minority depositories to build and sustain capital will remain we are all too familiar with systemic racism and how it's impacted not just policies but how it's impacted people's perceptions and people's psychology but there has been some relief Congress is investing 12 billion dollars into minority depositories through the emergency capital investment program and just this month The Economic Opportunity Coalition pulle

d together 1 billion in private sector funding but experts say this is just a start one of the things that I would encourage the federal government to do and even on the state and local level is to make deposits in black and minority Banks black banks are safe we can make our own deposits in those Banks so I think that that's something that they can do so in the same way a shot of espresso builds a cappuccino black owned depositories build communities for us when we say bu and our you know our m

antras without Community is just coffee the fact that we have team members who started as a as a host and now they're know senior leaders and second houses they purchased like having a salary like being able to see people grow and develop and have a financial future that's community it was a dream come true it was wonderful it's something our Legacy something that I can leave my children I'm just happy I was able to bring it to life with my kids and grandkids and my mom sadly she only enjoyed th

e home for five months I thought I was gonna help my mom up until about late 80s you know I'm sorry y'all [Music] but I know she's my angel now he's watching over me I know she's really proud of you she is I know she is she's looking down on me hope for the future our thanks to Morgan for that as Notre Dame went up in Flames Millions around the world froze at the images of parts of such a beloved structure collapsing but the efforts to rebuild it are now certainly underway and in tonight's story

we take you inside a workshop where every piece even every deformity is being rebuilt here's Arnez de la quintada [Music] it's almost like going back in time [Music] foreign this is showing us the the whole assembly of the truss as it will be once it's finished Workshop in Normandy France two dozen Carpenters are hard of work chiseling and hammering away working to rebuild one of the world's most famous Cathedrals Notre Dame [Music] no power saws no drills almost everything is being done by han

d effort to rebuild Notre Dame just just as they're using the same techniques the original Builders used over 800 years ago we're recreating identically what was there so a few of the elements were Pits on so we are also Pits on them among them six American Carpenters with the rare skills needed for this type of work like bulgusikov from Vermont who packed up and moved to France six months ago [Music] in the honor of a lifetime there's a certain amount of pressure and of pride in trying to do it

right because this is such an important high profile building been four years since the fire that shocked the world Notre Dame de Paris engulfed in flames that famous Spire collapsing firefighters battled The Blaze for nine hours it's now believed to have been started either by a short circuit or a cigarette many fearing the cathedral would not stand [Music] to watch it when it was going up in Flames how much work that represented the heritage of it needless to say that was really hard to see t

oday the work to bring the cathedral back to life is taking form each step is deliberate down to the custom made tools so this here is one of the axes that was custom designed and forged by these blacksmiths for the project and it's actually been stamped with the logo of the Architects and the public establishment of Notre Dame close to 500 oak trees across France every log has a number that corresponds to a GPS coordinate and that is being traced throughout the entire process so that every sing

le piece of wood we know exactly where in the forest it came from it's part of the process to rebuild the cathedral's Nave roof using no Nails instead joining each piece to the next like a giant puzzle no significant French building had ever been restored this way before using hand hewing with axes and we're really creating a replica down to each particular Timber each particular beam everyone is slightly different we're recreating deformations it's technically an extremely complex work that we'

re carrying out complex but fulfilling we were there as parts of the knave were hoisted up by a human chain on either side [Applause] that work on display soon to be transported to Notre Dame on these boats just like they would have been all those years ago their final destination the cathedral that iconic building one step closer to completion foreign so many looking forward to that restoration our thanks to Inez for that still much more to get to coming up going selective entry on these town t

is breaking industry standards and is now among the many great artists to play at the legendary Radio City Music Hall in New York City with two sold out shows I had a chance to spend time with the 28 year old to talk about her road to the top hours before her performance Radio City Musical like it's huge Frank Sinatra Mariah Carey Lady Gaga Diana Ross like your name or now amongst the people that have sold out here has it hit you yet honestly I had no idea because since I'm not from New York I

didn't realize until people from my friends from New York were like no this is Major this venue is so iconic Carly Marina Luisa born in Virginia and raised between the U.S and Pereira Colombia her family constantly traveled back and forth the songwriter absorbing the differences in culture that would soon influence her Artistry we were supposed to say living in in Colombia the rest of my life that was our plan so I kind of had to relearn what it was like to live in the United States I had to rel

earn a lot of because I was so young [Music] we found solace in music expressing herself through poetry and directing music videos when did you first know you wanted to do music I realized what I was going to pursue probably when I was like a senior in high school okay and because that was when I really had to start thinking about whether I wanted to pursue you know going to college or what I wanted to do in my life I mean my whole life I have been writing poems I have been recording songs and I

was in jazz bands I played saxophone I played piano so I was always a musical person how did that play with their family when they found out you wanted to pursue music like I can just imagine most of most of our land parents are like no yeah you can be a doctor you're gonna be a lawyer yeah you know you say you're gonna do me yeah you know so yeah I mean the main reason why we we brought family to the United States and came to the United States was in order to like get an education my dad had a

fourth grade education and he grew up in the streets so it was really hard for him to understand why I wouldn't take advantage of you know being able to go to community college so I was definitely I think I think it's hard for any parents to understand their first because it's such a risky job [Music] golly stayed true to herself creating music in both English and Spanish I want all small artists to know that you don't need to be just in one category one genre one language and was presented wit

h the variety hitmakers crossover award in 2021. this year marks five years since the release of her elusive critically acclaimed debut album isolation taking fans to her world with Tyrant [Music] and after the storm with Tyler the Creator [Music] the singer released her highly anticipated third studio album Red Moon in Venus in March [Music] and plans to release her second Spanish album later this year do you really identify with a crossover Artist as a label on you when I was first working on

team yellow which was my second album was my first Latin album everybody um you know the label they were very against it because they're like you're not going to be able to translate to the Latin Market but for me like I said growing up bilingual I'm like that's gonna be inauthentic for me to just keep going in English and so they told me they're like we're not going to support you at all I was like okay it's fine it doesn't matter it's really that was what I really really want to do I'm gonna d

o it hello my love [Music] there's no denying Kylie's impact with over 29 million listeners on Spotify and her bilingual track telepathia streamed over 800 million times the fact that you were able to open up this land do you feel more pressure now I still don't feel pressure I don't think that my idea of success or my goals or my ambitions have ever been tied to numbers my goals and the things that I wish to do are more so tied to not compromising and I think that the person who really wins was

a person that does whatever they want to do every day and really is happy you do compromise with your fans because they were in an uproar when you first started this tour and they weren't happy with the set list you actually changed the setlist this is what they need to understand I started the tour having no rehearsals for the tour so I had to basically figure it out as I go along which is always kind of what I was planning to do so the first few shows was kind of in a sense like my rehearsals

so I tell them like don't think this you bullied me because the setlist was going to change regardless thousands lined up outside of Radio City eager to watch the show-stopping high Femme fantasy come to life some even breaking out in song love my body and love me for who I am you guys came all the way from Minnesota how long have you been planning this for like a month and a half yeah oh my gosh golly transporting fans into her fantasy world of Glamor [Music] shy I am shy quiet timid person be

autiful but then you get on stage and it's like a whole nother being up there it's like a different Cali is that something that you just keep yourself private um I think there's just a lot of different sides to me like there's you know um are you a Gemini no I'm just winning no I'm a cancer but I think um I feel that there is there are so many different dimensions that I'm able to really express myself fully when it comes to music and when it comes to performing [Music] you promise to say yourse

lf and true to that true to your sound yeah how do you plan on doing that yeah I think just forever I think the most important thing I think intention everyone has different intentions for why they do what they do somebody some people a lot of people might make music to become rich to become famous other people I think really want to contribute something to the world deeper and more meaningful than that and I would like to think that that's the type of artist that I am and that as long as I cont

in the aviation industry often hanging out of a helicopter he's able to capture a unique perspective flying above airplane seconds after takeoff Gio Benitez has his story there are photos of planes taken from angles we rarely see and they're in high demand the photographer Ryan Patterson charging up to ten thousand dollars for a single picture but on land and in the water the 23 year old is a college student and a top swimmer who qualified for the Olympic trials and he just happens to be one of

the most highly sought out Aviation photographers in the industry as a kid in the Bay Area Ryan and his dad would go to the airport and watch the planes take off and land I grew up in San Francisco and we went to Bayfront Park um you know a couple Sundays a month maybe and we would watch the United 747s takeoff and land and we wouldn't always even be taking pictures we would we would just be there enjoying the air just taking it all in just taking it all in yeah exactly just watching the airpla

nes which is really what I loved inspired by aerial photos on social media Ryan and his dad chartered a helicopter to take photos of the planes in L.A we went to LAX um back in 2016 Summer of 2016 and we ended up doing a helicopter over LAX and I fell in love I changed everything it changed everything for me the photos taken top down capturing the attention of the airline industry no one had ever done this before and I just wanted a new angle something that looked a little bit different than the

other photos that even I had took previously in the helicopter when Ryan was only 18 he was approached by United Airlines asking if they could use his photos to announce the retirement of the 747. that was a little bit of a pinch me moment since I had grown up watching these airplanes fly out of Bayfront Park that's where I started taking photos his photos taking off Ryan gaining a following on social media but in 2020 covet hit with Aviation coming to a standstill but for Ryan that was another

opportunity taking photos of empty planes lined up in storage across the country at the time they were hard images to look at really hard images to look at but I knew they were a part of history that I wanted to be remembered I wanted the impacts of covid to be remembered so we not we would never let something like this happen again his photos published around the world when he's not on assignment Ryan is a college student at George Washington University and a nationally ranked swimmer competin

g at the Olympic trials back in 2021. Ryan graduates in June but he's already started at Delta Airlines as a graduate intern on the airport customer service continuous Improvement team I know I want Photography in my life I I would love my dream is to go into the business side of the airline industry and his message for other young people is always possible if you can put the work behind it if you can plan it out I think the important thing is to have a support system behind you face your dreams

never give up on them because you never quite know where it'll take you our thanks to Geo for that and finally tonight they are some of the best musicians in America and they're also serving their country so on this Labor Day we're taking you behind the scenes with members of the U.S Navy Band in Washington D.C [Music] these cats are really good at what they do it's magic to have such a band that's so tight that could read each other to get through these songs here at the United States Navy Ban

d in Washington DC we really do hire the finest musicians from around the country [Music] each one of our auditions is a national audition very much like a major Symphony Orchestra [Applause] [Music] I ended up doing my undergrad degree at the University of Georgia and then I moved to Connecticut where I got two graduate degrees at the Yale School of Music from there I went to Chicago to join the Civic Orchestra of Chicago after that I came to DC to be part of the Navy Band [Music] I got into th

e program and I shipped off to boot camp I think later that year so I'd been doing this for almost 10 years now I was previously in Navy Band Great Lakes up in Chicago Illinois before I got to this band in Washington foreign in the Navy we have just over 600 total musicians and here at the United States Navy Band in Washington DC we have 174. [Music] we provide presidential musical support that's the primary Mission we provide support for all engagements that would happen at the White House we a

lso provide all musical support for our veterans who are laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery and that's a mission that we take very seriously then in addition to that we go on national tour with each of our groups every year so that is where we go out and we tell the Navy's story and what these Sailors are doing for our nation around the world I remember sitting in on a rehearsal before I actually played right after boot camp it just gave me chills physicians in Washington DC and the Nav

al Academy are very specific sometimes these jobs don't open up for like 20 or so years many musicians stay here until they retire [Music] it is a premier musical institution it's a collection of some of the finest musicians that exist in the country all in one space we stand on the shoulders of those who came before us and it is our duty to continue that tradition and then move that Legacy forward because the world has evolved we have adjusted play all kinds of music [Music] pops funk Jazz you

know r b hip-hop [Music] you hear here at the United States Navy Band they reflect America at Large [Music] but it's gratifying as an immigrant to give back to the country that you know took me in [Applause] [Music] job for 34 years it's incredibly fulfilling to serve with something that is so meaningful to oneself performing music for me is something that that is just to inherent something that I will do all my life [Music] is sick for a purpose that is greater than what I am is ever more meani

ngful our national tour that we just went on it was so so fun to perform every single night for new crowds for packed audiences [Music] at the end the end of every performance on this tour we did and one venue I can't remember exactly where it was one person started standing up towards the beginning of the song and then [Music] audience was standing up during God Bless America [Music] [Applause] adult so moved by our performance it was really cool to see the impact that we're making on the count
