11:30 am
the live is on the bigger house. what's the real new deal? just reimbursing the wash. now the, our options are water off food off seems that is so much around us that just for you to. well, let's talk about something that we don't sure. hello and welcome, i'm sorry, got the body and you're all watching eco, india. why? so many of us, almost all of us actively contribute to polluting orthodontic. that is very little that we are do to reduce the solution. as well as knowing is the 1st step towards
11:31 am
doing so. i've dive into today is episode i know more about what can be done to reduce the solution. solution brands are always so colorful in detail and so beautifully, i mean, who doesn't fluff them. but that is also a downside to traditional di and frenzy, and that is what to produce. in fact, that's exciting, this 3 across the what is, what is intensive, and that is a major problem. much, is there no way that we don't waste so much water and can still get these beautiful airprint? well, let's head to the 6 die hub off in dallas, west and state of woods rock in bo. now to find out if this is possible, pretty got a fully big style made in india. on the flip side, dirty issues, fixed i production, contributes to roughly 20 percent of global water pollution, especially to dying on finishing processes. of
11:32 am
india has been suffering from a severe voltage sizes for years now, not only due to climate change, but also as a result of the over use of water. the okay, we need to understand that the conventional dying infringing is what that intensive in doing a total. these are trying to come to the prompting environmental regulations, increasingly, dom on 0, liquid discharge, meaning companies are being asked to avoid discharging the wastewater beyond the site boundaries. of the factories sound good, but what does the reality? india state of good job has over 1500, medium and large, big size companies, making it one of the boys largest fixed i hops. but diamond again, companies discharge the waste water and feed it into the device as water purification technologies make production more expensive and reduce profits. a company in good jobs, but to adjust city is doing things differently. both
11:33 am
a homegrown enterprise of android drawers values and autism funds recycles only if it's the slaughter. we are also certified most of the call, what they call the 0 discharge of a 0 discharge unit means that we do not discharge any of these to water. that all over east water is the sites that are within a little workshop. and the result that we get out of these practices is walker, that is good enough to recycle in my own unit. there's actually also good enough for decides in the open ground or to use 40 degrees your body treats only if it's based. what the naturally co founder for the sin huh. demonstrates bodies primary treatment will fix diabetes. water, therefore, correlation process which uses line and l you can already see if you go up close. that's the flux are starting to form and very soon that will settle down to the bottom. few flux are formed. the big plus there is
11:34 am
a spot because the alum and limes solution helps the 5 to goes clumped together. the bigger the cluster, the easier it is to remove them. you can see the slugs settled at the bottom. the water off on, on top is more or less clear if it isn't there for more time. it'll become crystal clear on the scanner on patients on not on demand to the get out of vitals to installation process and can even remove heavy metals, land offline for phase. luckily, i think the roots of the can up lot of the once the cost of the as the water process, who does organically it, it takes assigned to bed and then the bed and disappear. so any suspended particles that i left in the water wrapped in the face, the recycling base board is one way to reduce what the pollution but the method chosen for fabric printing can reduce the amount of waste water in the 1st place.
11:35 am
good job based speciality chemicals company xhylia x has replaced conventional reactive printing with the most sustainable alternative printing with pigment to instead of transferring dies directly onto stoppings pigment based i printed on to them and then killed the advantages minimal water consumption know, post processing. i know f one stream and to epic on its latest printing integration, the company says it has overcome the disadvantages, usually associated with big been printing. this is a big lender based printing from okay. but for the 1st time, we are matching the performance off of the active warranty. now this going to be elected with respect to the feet of the fabric and the end of the production cycle . it could be with respect to the washing of resistance and it could be also with
11:36 am
respect to the rubbing of assistance. a side existing needs reportedly headsets save, 75 percent of the water typically used in reactive printing and it's energy consumption has decreased by 55 percent. at body recycling, an average of 1000 liters of water each day has to keep its commitment using a bulk run towards this. want to that industry standards to make the biological solutions that both zyprexa and both he has come up with a does his in mitigating the problem of what the pollution those small it may appear to be smaller. but it is a practical solution which of course, but the commitment on top of monitoring and assessment of it can be made into a model which can be that the case that bodies how best
11:37 am
thing of lean water for production may ultimately be books, replicating the salt water contains fuel made, it was done, john bought a, resulting in more consistent colors that don't wash out so easily. it falls to think about the most dangerous stifle waste in the world. i've such in the tank of nuclear least there are about 415 new to a follow up alonzo across the world and 23 here in india. and sideline and government has said that they plan on increasing the power generation capacity of these power plants. they also came that these follow salons are clean and environment friendly, which is also closer for india to meet its global net 0 targets box. these smaller plants, oil storage and today to the left of waste, which will not managed properly can prove to the nature which has also been reported in some of the reports that you see. but when lynn has found
11:38 am
a solution for this media with i'm in the solution that might be several learnings for the rest of the ones. so we've arrived at minus 437 meters on the ground. we're inside the only final storage facility for spent nuclear fuel in the world. there's going to be basically no danger of within the next hundreds of thousands of years. this tunnel is defined, the ground is supposed to be the game changer for nuclear waste. there a quarter of a 1000000 tons of nuclear waste, just lying around across the globe. in some cases lead to talk sense into the environment. and nobody really knows exactly what to do with it yet, except for the fence. so how did they do it? and does this mean we've sold the nuclear waste problem once and for all when i 1st heard the defense, we're building a nuclear waste deposit site. i thought it was going to be in the middle of nowhere like in the optic circle. so no, it's actually just
11:39 am
a 3 hour call right away from housing in a municipality of almost 10000 people cold air. which also happens to be home to europe's largest nuclear reactive municipality actually been to the site and was selected from full possible locations. construction started in 2004. right next to the pallet on. cell is quite straightforward, doesn't that. but it's actually really remarkable that this happens because of final disposal facility of a spent nuclear fuel has to keep highly radioactive waste from leaking into the environment. for a couple of 100000 years. to put that into perspective, a couple of ice ages will have come and gone and that's fine. that needs decades of discussions, planning and careful selection of sites and the feet of engineering. other countries with nuclear power plants have also been looking for their own permanent storage sites. but nobody has even started construction anywhere else without your
11:40 am
pro anti nuclear energy. this problem needs a solution fast because the waste is piling up and sometimes inadequate interim storage sides worldwide, but not in finland. also decades of research and construction, the site called and carlo case, whole and finish, is about to start operating in the next few years. the project is financed by the finish nuclear power companies, which are probably owned by the finish date. we're ready to, to the trip down takes almost a quarter of an hour. so we've arrived at minus 437 meters on the ground. yeah, definitely feels like a cave all around us is crystalline bedrock,
11:41 am
a mixture of granite and the rock cold making a tight. and that's the 1st key to why this place was chosen to store the nuclear waste vh up the wrong guess. almost 2000000000 years. it's a rather on fractured rather dry. you know, we don't have a lot of front water moments in here. i'm to your son is the head geologist at the company responsible for the facility. the whole struggle needs to be on worth a, in a sense that there is no economic, all the things that, that future generations for likes to be out from their own. but finding the right the rock is just the 1st step. because nuclear waste is unlike any other waste, they have 3 main types, low level, intermediate, and high level waste. low level waste is usually stuff that came into contact with radioactive material, like protective equipment filters or medical waste. intermediate waste is equipment
11:42 am
used in nuclear plants or weapons production like pipes, so insulating material. this can stay radioactive for a couple of 100. yes. the deacons, terminated and disposed of in low level waste sites on the oval ground up to 99 percent of all nuclear waste falls into that category. the one percent of high level radioactive waste is the most problematic. one that consists mostly i've spent nuclear fuel rods, but it also includes waste from nuclear weapons production. spend broad still contain lots of energy enough to emit heat and remain radioactive up to him 1000000 . yes. and that weighs to sitting and cooling pools, or in dry caustics around the world. a total of over a quarter of a 1000000 metric tons says the international atomic energy agency. that's as heavy as 26 eiffel towers. and some of it is leaking radioactive materials. the best solution for handling and safely is bearing and deep on the ground and
11:43 am
leaving it to the k for a couple of 100000 years until it isn't dangerous anymore. to prevent radioactivity from the rods from leaking in the meantime, it needs to be in case properly in finland, the spent fuel rods are sealed into 5 sent to meet the 2nd and around 5 meet the high corporate canisters. they have been transported on the ground with a hoist, pulls of drilled into the bedrock along very long tunnels. the canisters are then put into the holes as in this demo drilling. wow. so deep, you can hear my echo. then the whole is filled up with bentonite play, which is also used as calculator. i can absorb ground water that might sleep in and corrode to the corporate kind of stuff. ready and finally, the tunnel is back filled with the same material and sealed with a 6 me to sick concrete slab. as you can see here in this demonstration tunnel,
11:44 am
those capsules or canisters are the most controversial part of the whole nuclear waste repository. the problem is, what happens if they've been denied laya, has defects, or as damage and ground water containing sulfide and hydrogen. does it reach the canister? research as have shown in multiple studies that copper could corrode, and the canisters could fail much faster. and the company in charge has calculated possibly already in a time span of decades. research on this is ongoing and the topic is a highly debated in the scientific community. but the stones of the finish nuclear safety o, sorry t and pals, eva, is that the uncertainty isn't so high that they would pose a significant risk. and they stress that the kind of stuff is just one protective layer of many condo is meant to house all the future ways to finland's existing nuclear power plant. nor is it clear how future generations will be able to tell
11:45 am
that radioactive waste is located here, or if it should be kept unlocked. but that's a question for another video. but even so, finland is way ahead of most nations. maybe because of a unique mentality, one, a role in there might be with bab, correct? my big mindset, buffing finished. people there as being a kind of a mutual consensus that we need to take care of the ways not to leave them to the future. it's in that race sense. there has been very little, almost ation from the society even a small amount of nuclear, the skin seems to be lead to it's not managed properly as we just saw. but we also feel that things like these are pretty harmless. well, maybe a single one to a certain extent, for sure. but when it's a millions of these across the globe every with, then they become very dangerous for the planet. so to find one such
11:46 am
a nuisance. today we're waiting to meet not assigned this, not any such a much a young guy who is doing something about this plastic waste. that'd be all generate . so casually off the coast of gen, a scuba diver, ivan and his 9 year old daughter getting ready for the day. the good has an exception to toby and with that, my name is tyler die yet on the 9. i am 9 years old. i'm studying in the 4th grade . i clean up good that i'm in the ocean on the show me my products to fish, as well as the money lice. and then i have collected 1000 kilograms. dustin and gave you the last, you know, been on her 1st diving her father and most surprised by what she saw. how do you really yeah, beautifully fish present and basically the same warranty deal plastics. and that
11:47 am
made me realize that i needed to says become plastics. the oceans, the environment, and the must be protected. that's when the torque popped is i looked on. the beach is popular among students have a lot of plastic god, which mainly single use items i log onto. but if you will observe carefully and walk for just 10 minutes, you will notice that there are mode working gaps, then bought those people to dispose of the bottles. although they out of it, they tend to forget about the gaps up and similarly, updating some done. many white plastic full inside off and discarded. that is that draw the similarly yellow baxley getty, from homes are done with plastic colored items, despite efforts only solution to end this pollution is to stop it from being manufactured in the bottom of the boat. the environment and marine life are impacted by the presence of this plastic waste. now and no, not that much met him home on monday. as i went ahead and do not me shoot him. we've been diving. we spotted a long, kind of also known as pico,
11:48 am
drab. and did you know? no, i look for, you know, mark these sensibly new bonds, so exactly declining in population. it's not just a doable and muddy life like that. it shouldn't do 2 nets and plastic plastic. the other one is salad on this is the for this sea glass beds. where do guns grease unimportant habitats for many marine species. these abs provide reading on feeding grounds for mediaspace invertebrates by maintaining c drop equal systems. do gongs indirectly support the bio diversity of marine life? i fall and my dad has been diving for 18 years and has gather 30000 kilograms of plastic. now maybe even more. no, i have been diving only for 3 years. watching of like much native, many organizations have invited my father and i to have along with my father and i, my father's friends lawyer 1st come together in the past to put them on the ottomans and on the lead,
11:49 am
the weekly plastic cleanup efforts with nearby willing to use choice keen interest in joining this mission, highlighting a growing community dedicated to environmental conservation. natalie agreed to meet on that cleanup drive 3 days. i mean, we traveled 5 to 6 kilometers into the ocean as that's where the rocks have look at doing drugs. the oxide located plastic is inevitably caught on the rocks preventing the area. then we get it next and plastics and bring them back to the show and we dispose of the database properly to the cooperation visa, dispos 22 of them has created a band. it's about plastic pollution that has brought about both of stage and enthusiasm among the public. when the toner, by the end of the 3 days after these don't be go fishing, you can observe, they're going to be catch any fish will not be on this collect significant amounts of plastic because lifting the plastic the filling in data port, we take the plastic card in the near to store that i start on the short and hand it
11:50 am
over to the person responsible for garbage collection. roughly $5200.00 people including over the community. have you stop at 20 plus speaking to the ocean? god no, and the blasting understanding of what i am not going to every year goes to communities contribute an estimated 1 point one to 8800000 tons of plastic waste through the ocean. a new book and i'm ready to go, go to your color and double check. and then finally, you may not be able to clean the entire ocean. we definitely aim to hopefully seen at least 5 kilometers. ok, go to mazda, be hope to succeed. somebody on board and i'll get the data go put them on. i'm going to be thrown and medical, the youngest members of the coastal communities are still heading plans for recycling. the connected plastic in a group. i'm going to go into the biggest, open the find, the children, these children go home and pressing the veterans. mom is the one that gets polluted on, the fish gets sick. so when you eat that fish, once you get infected, as they explained to me and i've been via a witness 1st time, but the fishes become though i'm good and tangled in the plastic fish. but even
11:51 am
notice the oceans have become daddy. they informed the offense, i have been children, i'll be off this. it's a great victory. any of it, a successful loss to get application hinges on collaboration between coastal conservation group school, the drivers and the general public. but now with all that can be done just by one person, but there are many people like be world like including school that i was money in biologist, and numerous and use and the public the must come together to avoid using plastics . what else we will continue cleaning up until the plastic tree in the region of plastics. we really starts with a when it's about how damaging gnostic really is. a lot of us to feed well those who live in high rise buildings often complain that there is very new to that we can do about the garbage that we generated within our home inside and just the city of daily reduces or 11th housing sounds, a solid waste every day. and of course,
11:52 am
recycling management. segregation is a major problem. even if organic waste has stepped aside within the rooms for segregation of the block level, sort of in shows that all of this waste ends up in the lenses. but there is an ideal apartments in the southern city of gen 9, which is showing us a completely different picture when it comes to dealing with ways doing cooking, this woman does something that not many of tennis, 6 and a half 1000000 residents do. she separates the organic waist and throws it into a green bin. the other 30 plus families in her apartment complex do the same, but they are something of an exception. here in the capital of the indian state of the time in 99 since maria, there are a lot of landfills and the waves does not degree populate. so it was a check for the next generation. i mean the 1st billing and yes to do whatever i
11:53 am
can when shopping, food and vegetables. obviously i to the raised into the bucket for compose to blue cash fund. i'm also giving clear instructions to my domestic logo and even my young son who knows about it now. we should take the small tomatoes to keep this or an environment clean and him. we have to be part of the 4 years genet residents have actually been obliged to separate their organic waste, but hardly anyone, complaints it's supposed to become fostered by the city in special facilities. instead, it ends up in landfill with other trash greenhouse gases like meetings are released as the organic waste. so the residence of this apartment complex decided not just a separate deal organic waste, but to con, posted themselves to. it takes $45.00 days to turn it into natural for the lives of 6 tons of combustible based. have been saved from land since since 2019 and
11:54 am
the daily from both blocks united inside. it's around 10 to 12 kilograms body. so miles on. so that's about 300 kilograms per month by the cycling, and this way we get 250 kilograms offered lives under k. i use it for our own garden plans and to give it to others and asked for it to me. they advocate, i learned a lot of the for but even here, not everyone. welcome to project at 1st or whatever the letting you let him go, the thought about this, please segregation procedure. i thought it was just unnecessary if don't. yeah. and the movie laid out on that to you, but later i realize the motive behind it reading and is we're making use of this biodegradable, we have that, but i'm not really going fertilize our own god in the law. should it be a lot? you're not going any ways outside of the city. what are you going to get? but if this is possible for our 36 labs today,
11:55 am
i hope that on the other apartments can initiated to this. yeah. must the left like or are they might it is 11 residents of this role model. apartment complex are now advertising their project or doing their neighbors to follow suit thing and again in the office i don't make any. yeah, there's no profit for us and busy if not, our main multi for doing i is to help the government keep the environment clean and to avoid dumping waste and landfill. you've got other main motivation or that sound great if i need to that we need, if it goes to use. but there are several smaller things that are me, the cost intensive, nor time intensive that we can do. and these things can seamlessly become a part of our lifestyle. are there any such practices that you follow to reduce pollution? do let me know. you can email us or reach out to me directly on my social media handles. i will see you next week on to then take care goodbye, left us the
