we've seen videos and images on the internet with this writing on them, this spot on earth is a real haven, lush green forests. beaches

with white sands, the water in the sea that's so pure, it looks like glass and a unique wildlife. i mean, somewhere like borneo in southeast asia, an island that's divided between three countries, indonesia, malaysia, of and the tiny state of brunei. when you go to a wopping mall for your daily shopping, when you're sitting in a restaurant eat dinner, when you wash your hair with shampoo in the bathroom, when you're biting off a piece of chocolate, when you're using cosmetics and in many other things you do during the day, you're in fact using palm oil, almost 80 kilograms for each person annually. now if we know that 85% of the palm oil in the world comes from indonesia. and malaysia, we can

ask a few important questions, who's burning the forest, who's polluting the air? are the poor farmers in borneo behind the increased levels of co2 in the air, or is it the people who buy and use palm oil every day more than before? during the past 20 years, malaysia's palm oil exports have increased 1,500 times and the turnover now stand at over $21 billion. the country is top producer of palm oil in the world. the world's neverending demand for palm oil has made the people in indonesia to break the boundaries. instead of planting rice and vegetables, despite the hardships and enjoying the beauties of the nature in the country, they've opted for industrial farming of palm trees with a shorter life, but with more. we're talking

about $400 of monthly income for a 2 hectare farm with about 400 palm trees. the income isn't considered meger in southeast asia, it can tempt anyone. in many other regions too, rainforest is being burnt down. 2.6 million hectares have been destroyed, a region almost the size of belgium. palm oil companies are responsible for about half the fires laid. 'who did this? they can't find the arsenis or don't want to find them, but everything here was burnt down, even our fields and houses. i flipped in london for more than 18 years. i came here from new york, but as much as i've always loved britain, there was something that bothered me from the start, a thickness to the air, the smell of exhaust that hit me every time i walked out. side, it was only

years later when i was working on an article about air quality at the 2012 olympics that i sat down to read some of the science of what air pollution does to our bodies and how much of it there. is here in london. it only took a few minutes of googling for me to see that the fumes i dismissed as nuisance were actually toxic. there have been numerous similar scandals in recent years. gardner is highlighted one of them that has to do with boris johnson, former uk prime minister and london mayor. according to the research, when johnson was the mayor of... he had gotten dust particles suppressed sprayed around air quality monitors to bring down their readings. these deceptive methods are for advanced countries. in impoverished nations,

things are different. for a long time we didn't have a choice about relying on. fossil fuels, but we don't need them anymore, it's time to move toward something better, toward a future built on clean energy from the wind and the sun, electric cars instead of diesel and petrol, less driving, more walking and cycling. it won't be easy to end the era of fossil fuels, they're woven into the fabric of our societies, and there is lot of money and lot of power in. in 1952, seven years after world war ii, countries were seeking to accelerate their production, factories were working at full blast, every day, millions of

tons of charcoal were burnt in the world to help the factories keep producing. london was in ruins due to the... world war, those days it was still the biggest city in the world with a population of 8 million people. almost all of the population and the factories around london used charcoil to supply energy. december 5th, 1952 went down in history forever. in just 4 days, the sulpuric steam claimed 4,000 lives. the figure later. rose to 12,000 people, about 100,000 people were infected with various diseases. officials throughout the united kingdom introduced a strange strategy to eradicate the mysterious

disease. soon everyone was talking about offshoring pollution. today china is the second largest economy in the world, many economic analysts believe that the country will take over the us and take the first spot in few years. the big stride was made thanks to the hard work by millions. of laborers in tens of thousands of small and large factories in the country. everything in the country was developing, even pollution. in beijing, mothers get up

every morning and first thing in the morning they go to their children to check if they're still breathing. preparing breakfast comes next. everything has to be washed with the water that's purified under the sink, but the water isn't for drinking. they can only drink pottable water. that's how a day begins in polluted beijing. people have to be careful from morning to night, be careful about the water they drink and the food they eat to make sure they're not polluted. a large population of poor people lives in this city. living and luxury homes is a dream that will never come true, but when it comes to pollution, people's wealth cannot change anything. according to a survey by nanjiing university, a third of all deaths in china is related to air pollution. the research was

carried out in november 2015 on 33 million people in 74 cities in china, and it came to light, that 31% of the fatalities are linked to air pollution, the largest number of deaths took place in hibai province where beijing is located and is in the worst condition. in fact, beijing is made up of two cities, a part of the city where the rich people can enjoy a better air quality, and the polluted part where a large number of poor people reside. the rich people live in the cleaner part of the city. on the polluted days, they can go to work in their own cars, have access to better doctors, and have another house in the suburbs to go to and get fresh. thanks to air purifying machines, the air inside the homes of the richer people in beijing is purified with more expensive

filters. in ordinary purifier cost $4,300 in beijing. it pumps in the air from the outside and pumps the air into the home after purifying it, but a machine that can completely purify the air and stop carbon dioxide and other pollutants from entering the home with stronger filters cost about seven $200. the filter needs to be changed once a month. each filter costs $430. a water purification filter costs $300 and the figure can be as high as $100. people in beijing are usually seen with face masks on in the streets. these circumstances have led to the emergence. of bizarre products in stores throughout beijing, for example, a bottle of

the uk's air is sold at the exorbitant price of $115, the air that was once the most polluted in the world, but now thanks to exporting pollution, it is clean, or at least thanks to the deceptive measure by boris johnson, it is passed off as clean.

every year, about 20,000 people in southeast asia die due to pollution from burning charcoal. the figure can reach annual casualty of 70,000 people in 2030. the number of power plants that run on charcoil in malaysia as the most populated country in the region after china has increased to 3 323 from 147. in myanmar we expect to see five-fold increase and the current three power plants will increase to 16 charcoal fueled power plants. charcoal is inexpensive and it's pushed even advanced countries like south korea and japan to divise plans to establish fossil fuel power plants, especially charcoal. it can make the... situation even worse, but the pollution in indonesia and vietnam will be worse. power

plants in those countries are fast mushrooming. you'll be even more shocked if you know that 100 thousand people die every year in india because of the complications related to the power plants. by 2021, diesel fuel here will meet european standards. the government has also promised to shut down old coal fired plants. and restrict new ones, but pollution has been worsening for years. the indian government says it's taken steps to reduce pollution, but in the meantime, for years to come, india's capital, and for that matter, most of its major cities, will continue to be among the most difficult places on earth to breathe. china is the biggest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world. the country consumes charcoal 40 times more than indonesia. only in 20. 13, 366, chinese lost their lives to bad effects of

using charcoal. so why don't the people in china and southeast asia do something for themselves to tackle the situation? the answer lies in offshoring pollution. when london and other. metropoles in the world face air pollution during the past decades, they came up with solution. they decided to relocate the factories that cause pollution away from their country. and only manage them from a distance. on paper, the decision would benefit the poorer countries as well, because it would create jobs for them and would transfer technology as well. as a result of the decision, thousands of major and minor companies are operating in southeast asia, poor african countries and latin america.

they can produce anything at the lowest cost. compared to advanced countries. the reason is the low cost of production in those countries, inexpensive fuel, inexpensive land and low wages of manpower. lack of rules and regulations that work is road blocks and many other factors in these countries turn them into favorite spots for making products, but their citizens do not benefit from it that much, and the only thing they get in return is air pollution. disease and meger amount of money that only keeps them a float 感覺如果不帶口的話會嗓子很乾然後會非常的不舒服 對於車就感覺像take a risk就像冒一樣 像這個自好隨身帶著一點啊環境一不好像這種的天氣它就是容易感冒後以後

agyo blushi is a small but famous region in agra, the capital of ghana. this is a terminal ward for many things, from cars, tires and various machines to... television sets and many other electric appliances. every year, about 215,00 tons of electric appliances are sent to agyo blushi. only 30% them are brand new. the rest are secondh goods that have to be demolished. in fact,

people in ghana are tasked to ruin these devices at this point. after this phase, the only thing that... has left from them is smoke, black smoke that's always there in the sky. it contains carbon dioxide, poisonous gases, and any other pollutant you can think of. most of these goods are sent from rich countries to ghana as piles of garbage. people in this country do everything to stay alive and eat. gutting a clunker is the most honorable job in ghana. after separating the parts, they put aside the useful parts. when they remove the body and the main components, they reach metals that don't reveal themselves so easily, like copper wires that are hidden under plastic covering. the most common way to reach the precious metal is to burn the wire. after the plastic covering is

burned, they collect the remaining metal. this is exactly what happens to computers, cables. and electric appliances in the kitchen. it seems damaging, burning, and collecting the leftovers are a win-win for both sides of the deal. one side of the deal gets rid of the garbage and the environmental hazards caused by it, and those on the other side of the deal can eat a few good meals and keep waiting for the cargo ships arrive, they are going to bring in the new piles of garbage. the glamorous world today needs to keep producing goods in order to remain sustainable. the goods are advertised every day on billboards, they're put on display in

galleries. many people are ready to stand in long lines for hours to get them. but producing these goods involves expenses, and producers are always desperate to reduce those expenses. in today's world, there has been a simple division of labor. in part of the world, people work all day long in factories and workshops to supply for other people and other parts of the world. in some parts of the world, people create garbage, and people in other parts of the world... burn that garbage, in some parts of the world people live, and in other parts of the world people are just trying to stay alive. the division of labor is apparently fair based on the slogans, but in practice something else happens.
