is taking shape around the world and how we can make a difference. knowledge grows through sharing. download it now for the how to make our toxic was a little bit better. i know, i don't mean blocking your toxic friends and social media. hello and welcome. i'm so have you got the body and you all watching eco into our modern industrialized world is producing more toxins than ever before. that knowing our food in our air and even on water, water quality across several parts of the world is getting worse. you ended up as us that 80 percent of the was the waste water is discharged back into the

environment without any proper treatment. so where do we stand right now and what can be done? let's dive into today's episode to find more on, says ben, google, the city with the housing lakes now only has a few 100 of them left on bowl stool. i couldn't dominated with dr. look, now, these lakes are being revised and that is a benefit even for the food in this id hub. um, but how our lakes, especially toxic lakes and kitchens connected to each other. let's find out now that i do is taking care of the landscape at the nature he lives in jacoby. a sub of opening a new to the city has become lucky. i to help introduce indicates and it is the scrolling to but once about 2000 leagues here, but no more than 3 quarters of them have disappeared. you cannot get into it,

was that the problem is that people want more space and more development. i've gotten rid of it, so the government describing, i would look at these hit and do you have what that can do, leasing all the sewage water into these leak leaks are fine, but the sewage water needs to be filtered, treated, and kept clean. it pretty the marty clean, i give you the vehicle and the being called your mouse is a senior fellow at the actual cut trust fund research. she tries to explain how this development could have happened. now the water supply interest sector developed. but what happened is the researcher teeth went into effect. it did not develop at the same place as a result. strong water drains we took, getting historically only rainwater started receiving on to, to, to be smart. and this on to did waste water started slowly into these leaks with drastic consequences. in march of 2021,

belinda lake caught fire again. 6 years after the previous 500000000 liters of untreated waste water continued to flow into the league each day. and the engineering not only look on the fly, life toxic substances have long been filed in the areas farmland, the largest tv that much ended up of the indian institute of science investigated the effects of the thing i lose. but due to the legs, when livestock and crops we collected a week's time. but then the government, the downstream of the nate, you know, i'm, they also the, the a, the, i, the fish, except the me. ok, when we, i'm nice. all the, the food costs the board and we might have been with them in the book. jenny, that's beauteous concept. they're not that this web. the thing, if you do the read for you sure like can still could meet. they don't accept the

evidence on of the problems, you know, now new to citizens, initiatives and organizations in the city. people here frontier clean they expect on monday, god has made it his job to clean the lakes. 40 years ago he set up a foundation to make it easier to, to use the necessary funds because it won't work without money. yeah, i think they bought the lakes one is i did when it's finished, it's which one is naturally. so they did like a lot of changes in the top of your feet, catchment area of vision and logged off. now last has been this type. you open up the now let's see that water will enter into the lake and they'll actually watch the holding capacity to a sprint within. all definitely the risk risk and that will be the more everything is idea can no longer lead, stay in water flow into the leaks instead that succeed funny

a this is intended to revitalize the slides. micro climate energy storage. as i said, we did for wildlife, the water in the leak is naturally beautified by the heat and floating islands that go to clouds. but didn't go to a lot of things. naturally beautification alone is not enough to address while you're coming from base. what does the need to have these wastewater treatment plants need to be solutions? loans, they are supplementary to the systems themselves are not sufficient. even though bank the little has just invested in 7 sewage treatment plans. they're not enough to to, to the slaughter of the metro, pointless of 10000000 the this is chuckle, link at 160 hector's. it's one of the cities. biggest echo just so much in the us team has combined log base beautification here,

but simple technical support our teeth. and what we did was we ended the depth of edward glad and all they found with the statements. i saw a large proportion of the 1st photo speech and nitrogen and could be removed. well that from the different plans off that removing that we go, i uh, when it was to look out for a 3rd way to learn the 3 rules that you made up by the getting on some part of the why we live and it wasn't to be the icon for the remote, the bigger part of the and month brought up in keeping a little develop into taught the initiated duty by playstation of double click and it is now managed by to have to bring a new to me. i cannot get up by like a civic body and the citizen group, just pushing past in the league country supports the livelihood of 70 percent of families who have been centered towards the upkeep

of the beauty and difficulties. you know, we have the entire community like we have the glass that does, we have the featured men, we have the home dogs, we have the local, the groups. so we have many things happening at the lake. so it's like a be good connect of the community, give it at least a quarter to the some oh, involved. then finally the convergence has conservation. if anybody wants to guns of this mix, even if every one but to contribute to maintaining the quality of the quarter, the duty to water, what is to not be think of is when a kid gigabyte of course. but it's difficult to use the water for daily purposes. it has to be finished good, really valid for the sometimes the league stain of everything that the government is doing is fine, protecting beautification, etc. but the water didn't not build are still of the cookie one sewage treatment plants in big noodle. only important to be scientifically money to for waste water treatment. contaminated food continues to be

a problem as and to take this water is still being used for finding at the state. also being the commission to a vast majority of last set of shipping vessels are scraped on the south asian shores forming a major risk for the walk of and through the course to ecosystem come with us on an investigative wage to go on the was 2nd largest ship breaking yard to witness these environmental impact 1st tend. the the who did, does a 32 year old fisherman spent all of his life catching fish alone the she duck on the coast line a bundle dish. but recently dusk noticed a traveling change in the mary nichol system. it will have one on it must be the most much more efficient and the good ones out of the boat would be full. the to

next, you know, even 20 to 30 minutes. so fish less than that on the fish, i'm including the job. so just how to do the many even left the area after sending that property is to dp dex. land that it was easy to blame the broken up ships along the shore for polluting the water research shows that up to 10 percent of a giant ships weight is made above as best as heavy metals boil. and other toxic substances due to poor management in these yards. toxic material ends up being the environment still go is the 2nd largest city in bangladesh. the northeast and part of the sports city currently is home to 40 c, breaking yards, spending approximately 20 kilometers along the coast research. it brought about who

has examined the marion bite over city here. well, to be able to hear. uh, if i uh for each one of the, the last 20 years on the fisherman, along to the guns stuck on the coastline last 25 as patient saltisha, a one of the most important elements of flooding. biodiversity. the macro bent is like snails and oysters, on most extent, on this coast line to back on 5 bill people. i totally get the top of gun and she took them to tow near the shipyard caesar. she break and wants to share his experience, and only mostly i just put it on paper and they said, david, provide protective, get such as boats. helmets gloves regularly, but the problem is replacements and never for the ones that are new. so the coast resolved to using dollars as make shift must 1st sense protection,

but now i'm level of need. this for the new drums are the zip at the end of the i'm going to breaking these goes is a very dangerous job, and workers often suffer accidents in 2022 alone and usually pulled it up is 10. that's and 33 injuries long term health issues out of 20 problem for many workers. environmental fields and sheet of them say more long term research is needed to determine the extent of environmental impacts on the slide. please of showing that the labels succeed w h o 's health standards. it is a digit, the comprehensive, the studies from relevant departments are essential for a better assessment because it is, i'm gonna go based on the front of the

say. there is one us on an environmental lawyer, an activist, feels that the government is not responding properly to the hazards of breaking for human health. wants to sit breaking industry offers to people, experiencing poverty is not employment, but catholics and sort of like asbestosis and cancer. is there a teacher as this to see the d. b. c. b wistar environment where to find one of the sections fruitless beside a lack of equipment and release to ship saying that nobody is dis phone except for the in between. when it is precisely the in. but with that is all the problem according to international i'm look at last i do not see any significance of these inspections that you use. 2013,

she breaking recycling regulation mandates. eco friendly, sheep dismantling, and prohibits europe and ships from being scrapped outside approved yards. despite these investigations show that you will be in flag ships are often dismantled in salvation yards. so convincing the rules to turn the body saves and flag changes. the recent documents obtained by dw color incomplete ownership details highlighting enforcement challenges. the matter of fact, a lot of shipping companies based in the global north, uh and you are a, for instance when they have to, we legally explore it the ship for breaking to south asia. the, they often these were present fox and lied to authorities about the final destination of the vessel as a way to avoid being codes. in response to inquiries, the u commission acknowledged to the necessity for strong implementation of the you feel recycling regulation. but stated that enforcing laws properly is the

responsibility of law enforcement and national courts in member states. what does she breaking industry makes is crucial for bangladesh as economy providing steve and jobs. along with this has to be sent to ratified the home convention on the safe ship recycling, making it the se consolidation nation to do so after india. and this is going to be to ship yard and see talking to one of the owners claims to be the standards as the so the separate but i don't know how to separate assess tools or do you need a special machine which be have important from europe so fronted the center, this management festivities built. we've been processed to enter all the base. thank the separate us and here's the orange water separator. this separates on from water into this thing. all of that correct, that tank any, as

a whole lot of my product and the water is discharged into the see the what that mean? what that, what about the on the shipyard has a concrete beating. so face designed to push the support the beach and back in tucker environmental activists. the sun is not happy with any provision of beating under the home convention to the demos to greenwashing countries, including all the fish a bundle of days to sign the hong kong convention. which permits beaching, however, would not be allowed beaching within its borders. bundle dishes, governments should adhere to european standard. differentiation in certain cases is not acceptable. to really address the environmental damages in bundle dish solid international grooves. we don't do fulls or isn't she

a recycling old vessels? into scrap, we'd be lost income source. but this means more ships continue ending up on solid issue and cost. clearly, as the sol ship protects auto, a major problem and add items, national jewels are needed to make a difference. let's head to ship yard in belgium to understand the business of ship wrecking the complicated process of recycling, the possibilities and challenges. it's an attractive job it's, it's a, it's every a changing job. you got different ships, different types of chips, the different methods of working. so it's a very various jump if you want, with temperatures just above freezing and rain falling steadily, his enthusiasm seemed admirable. the boss and his nearly 20 strong team know their ships inside out. you would think they'd been to see themselves. they know exactly

what they can extract from former navy boats. for example, the civilian i have here on the road, they are of you can choose to all the ships, how many precious metals we get so many different materials out of that, all the cop uh, brown or different. ours was the other ships. it's a bit different, i'm going to vote is which on the here at this recycling yard in belgium. all materials are neatly separated and disposed of if necessary. the toxic materials are stored in a separate hall and treated as hazardous waste. a large proportion of the ships can be recycled and then sold on obviously the ship is maybe 90 percent, a scrap anyway. but all the rest of the materials also recycled like the

woods oils all these stuff. so we, we are 97 to 98 percent of recycling and it's only a very small proportion that ends up in landfill. the steel is sorted separately. it's an important raw material for companies that build new ships. the peter winston tells us the belgian authorities visit every 3 months to ensure that safety standards are being met to and everyone is wearing protective gear staff here are well aware of how bad the working conditions are for the majority of their colleagues in asia who it's not good alternative safety. is there a lot of accidents there about the loss of difficulty that people are allowed on the ship just as they don't? there's all your flowing out. it's not like that. well, here, every thing you're has to comply with international standards and law,

which is how it should be. what was the, what doesn't within but none of the big container ships end up here. only small fishing trawlers or the occasional navy or police boat. even the biggest shipping companies still send their vessels to asia or turkey for scrapping because it's much cheaper. the european union has a list of ship breaking yards approved for their environmental standards and work or safety. but only around 40 of them are actually in europe. it's quite clear that here in, in, in, in europe we all already, uh, very regulated by older legislation, which is not the case in the, in other countries like turkey or let alone asia and these, these people liked and 13, we've got uh today we got 9 yard, so i think on your list and they are not competing with the same standards as us

european based yards. so they are taking the market, the weight from us. some of the methods used to ship ranking your it's in asia are extremely harmful to the environment. include the practice of deliberately teaching the ship, which is prohibited in europe. experts are calling for tougher rules. making the european shipping companies directly responsible for following european law when they're sending their muscles for, for recycling. so that would be one way of the strengthening regulation. europe. ship ranking yards should actually be getting more custom. the european ship owners association boom coast as the number of vessels linked in for recycling is set to double over the next 8 years reaching 15000. the hope is that the larger shipping companies will be willing to cut their profit margins and have more ship scrapped in europe. we believe that the shipping such the kind of forward to do it

sustainably. and when they say that the custom of fortune is kind of twisting and twisting it, but the issue because they will also re, i mean money by selling their muscles for cycling in your life. so it has value. it's a lot of good quality scraps too. but peter winton is skeptical. his shipyard was one of the 1st to gain use certification 10 years ago. but he says the ship owners have a huge lobby, allowing them to avoid scrapping their vessels in europe. they planning to change the waste ship and regulation. so in order to put ation yards on the, on the your list and i think whenever that happens we all back to square one. i think the best thing to do is that your flag chips just must be recycled on you based yards. scrapping these 2 fishing trawlers won't bring in much profit,

but for now the big boats are sailing to cheaper and less restrictive shores me gauges and spend from septic tanks are north of the site. in fact, in sufficient sewage water management damages the environment and several other parts of the world. that is an entrepreneur in mulatto who has come up with a sustainable solution, bio septic tanks, that can also recycle sewage water. the water, the, the vice folding over his flowers was recently used to wash the dishes. all the waste water from his house ends up in a bio tank. i'm um, april may and the one what do we do? we should keep natured in mind because it is the ultimate power of the moment so we should try our best not to put in. you know me to go with the conventional septic tank. the waste water is collected and empty that they do not enter is it's not

uncommon for that. we just bought uh, don't end up in rivers and lakes, but using the environment according to cyber gosh, from the city of glen. but those are the bio tanks. the sewage water gets recycled, it can be used for different purposes, are drained into the ground. doing a lot of new under. this is how it works. all the waste water from a house who ends up in a collection tank. there, it is mixed with enzymes. they hope the bacteria to convert the slugs into water very quickly from their bosses to the filtration pack. here, small body goes are collected and treated again. at the end, the beautified water is discharged from the tank. some fold it into the ground. are those water they've got in with it like viva, he has to get used to having a biological toilet. but it didn't take long. but the, the loan, the water is here and the cost is $1.00 thing that we need to be cautious about is cleaning generally. we clean once or twice a week,

but it's important not to use any citrix products at all in red cases. if we are, we are on vacation for a month, or if someone accidentally uses acid for cleaning, then there's a chance that the bacteria can die on it, on the muddy, but to the level until then we have a release of the enzymes that you have, which is safe to do on the body, otherwise it is generally low maintenance and then they wonder if he's running on that. so maintenance under this, from the companies on the eco friendly bio dogs have another advantage. the cost only half as much as the conventional septic tanks. they may be made of concrete metals of plastic, depending on the location and the conditions for the customer code to kick them without me giving you the 1st examine, the area of, of the tank has to be better if it's low covey visit the site in person if it's somewhere else, we ask them to send us a video. we also need information like how many people are living in the household

and how frequently? yes, since visit the house. we then design the tank according to normally, our tongues have a capacity of 1000 leaders signed by the know what a dongle bug an item to do. a couple of seating owners don't even need to clean the bio septic tanks themselves. that do is done by the eco friendly back, the them on free of charge. it well doesn't sound very young me, but it's a pretty common practice across single floor um california recycling switch. what else? who would have caught, but increasingly as what a scarcity becomes a real check for millions across the globe. we will have to do several more such things to ensure that our water bodies are less and less but you. but you let me know what would you like to see more off on the show? you can email us or reach out to me directly on my social media handles. i will see you next week until then take care would buy from us. gosh, the
