have some climate impacts maternal greater than what we see on me. that's really frightening books and. why are people more concerned. little yellow book stores may 31st on the t.w. . cuts. hello welcome to eco india a sustainability magazine that trains the spotlight on solutions that could change our planet for the better for our children and our children's children to be we look at how recycling we can make a real difference to not only off future but even to our present i'm. coming to you from mumbai in india. over the next 30 minutes how an organization is empowering

garbage collectors to me art from waste. how a private organization is working with the local government in bangalore to recycle the city's richest and how a shopping mall in sweden only sells recycled clothes and accessories. but 1st let's look at how recycling is giving hope to the garbage collectors who live alongside the gaza border line fill in the city of delhi for years they've made a living collecting scrap plastic containers glass bottles basically whatever cells they had exposed to toxic substances every day and their living conditions are undoubtedly among the worst in the world one local organization is helping them rethink how they look at some of the sweetest. year old bibi has lived her whole life next to new delhi's biggest and oldest

garbage dump it is spread out across 29. sometimes there were rains sometimes storms at times security guards cheered us out . crying garbage we faced several problems living their dead dog people dead babies sometimes the garbage trucks stopped coming because they went to bed on time everything was left dumped in the area that used to double as our league round . making. some on p.b.s. part of the community of 400 families in east delhi is gossip to landfill many of whom sift through the mountain of garbage hoping to find something of value to say such as head. loads and even gold and silver most often it is

just lost to call gloss. the city's largest flower market just happens to be on the other side of salinas home. at the end of each day the market remains flooded with heaps of unsold floats especially because there are no cold storage facilities. 5 years ago a blonde is hatched to alleviate both of these waste related problems. in the london foundation an engineer working in the area brought the community's verman together for an alternative livelihood project. the good man green produce a company was born to make gift boxes calendars diaries and photo frames with recycled paper decorated with breast flowers and leaves. out of the 400 families it was a challenge to the good race because 2 common people want their new custom to

sitting on one place for a very long time to have the discipline and that artistic sense to be able to understand where they were so initially there were 34 or 5 people who came and picked up so by the end of 2013 we had about 40 people who work and at some level of expertise. it was a significant step forward for the community has been who had been conditioned to resigned to their fate of being life long race because. rise and go then there's a very i mean just the women kept saying this work is beyond us it is beyond us so my focus then changed humanity and so it was now about instilling confidence in these women islamic you. know. although the mindset began to change little by little and other problems look. the waste because used to

make about $500.00 rupees a day or 7 years now they made far less as they were paid per item creating 50 rupees for a calendar the greeting card for them. in the good months there were a lot of traction a lot of mornings when the women would then come somewhere when there were no orders for us then we were not able to pay the women and that's the time was the 1st child and then the fares don't know when we wanted to be in the women they obviously had to feed themselves so they dropped out so they went back and when speaking. so then we had to change a thing time on. the farm in the receiver fixed bridge of up to $5000.00 rupees a month and even have bank account earlier on 100 all in the community all times to private funds and money from the island our foundation. the center also runs

a school for their children and provides child care facilities so that their mothers don't have to what are you while they work by them daddy will have started realizing the benefits of children state when my daughter was really young i used to bring her to take it that's how i was able to book but otherwise it would have been very difficult to welcome you. but radical social change takes time so i must never our jury be still works at the landfill for her it's more profitable. but some others are conquered it was have. a what someone does is clean hygenic work and that's what i don't have thinking waste is dirty but waste speaking earns me in more money than what i'm finding work would. want people. we have 3 children

with aging parents. there are expenses. and. it is not easy to convince. to work for the green project. in the family's yard i mean on the ground longer definitely is used in order been let them come here today except for those with babies almost everyone here spends the day at the stalls whenever they are put up and start out and they know. for the . their work has changed their lives for the better the foundation is working hard to convince them to take part in the project its goal is to open even more centers like this in other parts of delhi and across india. if we. want to magically disappear it's a serious problem affecting every corner of our planet today have you ever wondered

how exactly garbage decomposes and how much time each item plastic glass takes to fully disintegrate this experience will help question. 1900 there were only 220000000 people living in urban areas worldwide and they produced fewer than 300000 tons of garbage a day in just one century populations have exploded and the amount of waste has increased tenfold. so how long does it take trash to actually decompose. first let's look at what we're collectively putting in our global garbage can. food and green waste is the largest category making up 44 percent of all global waste. it's followed by paper and glass and plastics. undoubtedly the environments worst enemy take a long time to decompose in some. case is

a very long time the world's consumption of plastic is increasing and just one of the consequences is the great pacific garbage patch. and even products that you might think would decompose easily in a landfill actually take up to a month cigarette but may take 10 years to degrade. by some estimates it may take a 1000000 years for a single glass bottle to fully decompose in 2016 the world generated 2000000000 tons of household and commercial solid waste that comes to nearly 740 grams of waste per person per day. this poses a serious threat to our foreigner as well many creatures carcasses have been found with tons of plastic deborah inside and on land it can alter the food habits of birds and wild animals. so is there something we can do to break this cycle. reduce the amount of single use items reuse what you already have so it results in

less trash create a compost pit for your kitchen waste. the time it takes for our trash to decompose poses a very concrete threat to our future. it isn't surprising that. house to house to pick up the east on a daily basis in many parts of the world this. often in the bad crop a bad job a social enterprise is trying to organize the cities vs collectors and bring them into the form of solid based management. it's early morning in bangalore in southern india it's a start of a new working day for krishna who runs a recycling company together with his staff he collects paper plastic and metal waste from domestic households and.

when residents hear his recent. they know that it's time to bring their waste to the street the company collects up to 2 tons of recyclable materials a day krishna grew up in poverty his parents scraped together a living grinding bones from an abbot to make bone meal to settle krishna still remembers the stomach churning smell of the only other kind of work open to him was we see connection he dropped out of school to help support the family. of a girl. i begin by asking as of east because as a child when i turned 20 i joined. an enterprise dedicated to improving the livelihood of just because and looking for their rights and social security by continuing informal sector based work into a formal solid waste management system years ago. for training the. means green force the organization was set up in 2012 and represents some

7500 ways connect as giving them a collective voice for the 1st time. it aims to help protect the environment and to improve working conditions in the sector. when we started our work in bangalore risk because we're not recognised there were no are given the due respect for the work that they do so we actually organize them in the city the people who are working in drive this collection centers have been given an opportunity to become entrepreneurs and off they don't been able to give jobs that another 10 or 20 people or more depending on how much of it comes. to dollar perswaded the city authorities to build a waste collection center. here the way speakers can sort their trash and send it on to recycling farms they've recently started collecting leaves. and other organic

waste which is composted at the recycling sites. paper and other materials are also bundled and then weighed. people didn't take it all used to come in one then they would throw out on the. landfill not to the landfill it's a damn sight but now we have formed something called back the method of segregation that was also again. a citizen but the proof of concept was done by as with the law and everybody has to say and i would say about 50 to 60 per cent of the city is segregating it is a big thing. the waste collectors have an app that tells them who is sorting their waste properly and who isn't well sorted waste makes their job

a lot easier. this move gives the details of the people who are separating the released and those who are not and so . the whole according to the segregation. business is booming for the waste collectors since joining forces their earnings have increased threefold but krishna has bigger plans he wants to buy machinery and expand his operation he hopes to create around $50.00 to $60.00 jobs with favor jews health insurance and pension rights he also wants to build a school for his employees children to give them a better start in life. from bangalore let's move all the way up north. in sweden the city has a mall dedicated to secondhand need clothes gadgets of the church and the swedes

are loving it. just last year the mall made $1100000.00 in sales. welcome to the world's most sustainable shopping mall ready only items hear a 2nd time and that means that also more affordable the new ones. customers at the recycling more have to enjoy rummaging for a while for something that catches their eye all my stuff we think here is one of a kind. of go from movie for the summer i love that. this is a record player a book box and you can find things that are not the most everybody has something special something unique recycling like recycling you don't want to buy new new things. i mean i'm just runs the electronic shop like everything that has computers televisions and my

friends at our nation's. 3 to no shopping mall in the swedish town of a school is located next to a recycling center. people bring unwanted items of all kinds here anything that can be used overhead goes to the mall. or. everyone who comes here they have an object if they come here to save a environment and help others to make some money like the rich want to hear that through the retail it won't work with all goods would all be. like responsibility. every day brings and you find. this is something like. in the workshop the team brings defective electronics like this television back to life. of the syrian born shop manager his work is about more than just earning money. where you have a responsibility toward this environment so if. if you're poor so it's not good for

my kids my grandsons and the future. to reach you know a shopping mall has 14 shops each one specializes in different kinds of 2nd time goods like fun books. sustainability is a major topic here more and more sweets want to know where and how the products they use and consume were made but most consumers here still prefer new products to used ones. one of the main focuses in trying to reduce the climate impact is to reduce the level of production. given in things to sort of be really used in the like of rather than being put into a recycling process where they you also need fossil fuels usually to produce new things alex returning i teach is one of the many workshops organized by the more participants learn upcycling techniques and how to use various waste materials they

can also learn about production conditions in other countries and how to consume more sustainably. we're definitely a part in challenging. concept of what is. also challenging the concept of that even if we do our part even if we're apart in a consumer culture. what we consume also makes a huge difference and what impact it has on the environment. banking a few hours later in the electronics shop the donated television is ready to go on sale. tomorrow hopes that the idea behind 3 to no shopping mall will catch on everywhere because of the awareness the will you need to know about you can do work everyone and as i said i hope that it will. spread all over europe the ward and when that happens more and more people will start to appreciate

the value in things that have been used before. now they wouldn't be that wooden furniture without copious amounts of sawdust sawdust seems like quite a wastage but in a story in start up is a good use by trying it out as the best material for 3 d. printing instead of plastic. as stone leo has more than 2000000 hectares of far east almost half of the small baltic state is covered by trees. not surprising that many people here live from forestry ready. but the timber industry leaves its mark and not just a misto worldwide sawmills produce around $200000000.00 tons of wood by products every year what can be done with all that sawdust. we're

developing an innovative 3 d. printer that gives would waste a new value. the stone in startup 3 killer has developed a method of creating 3 d. objects from sawdust. first the user designs the desired object using 3 d. modeling software in a special 3 d. printer the material is shaped and layered to create the object. the printing ink here is a combination of sawdust and a nontoxic binder. the start ups goal is to replace 50 percent of the plastics used to conventional 3 d. printing by the sawdust based material. in future this approach could be used to produce wood furniture and truly give would wished a new value. like a 4 story to be a last story to highlight that waste doesn't really need to be wasted duct so that

young ones recycles packaging material to reinterpret old masterpieces bubble wrap into dresses and scraps of form into head scarves and sticks photos of them that seem from another century when they were plastic. these words from the old dutch master. when much enough. to dress made from bubble wrap. and head covering fashions from fan racks. old packaging and the role materials. to create. a test. the artist towards all kinds of stuff normally used to pack and protect items for shipping. as far as she's concerned these materials should be recycled could be. could be very. well.

this could be. a color. even as a child young man's was fascinated by her mother's art books. to this day she's inspired by the flemish painting of the 15th and 16th centuries especially the portraits by her year. she doesn't just reproduce their works like finites they are not feeney portrayed from 1434. instead she reinterprets them with the help of palestine. plastic sheeting.

to have a. story out of. i like the looks like it but then when you look closer then you can see. the artwork. so it's a little bit of this time a little bit of times. next she makes preparations for the photo shoot. up cycled into a halo. the models jewelry also has a past life as packing peanuts. during the shoot suzanne young man trying to capture the deep perfect picture she takes hundreds of shots focusing on different sections details. this is why paying so to speak.

so for pictures and put them together on the computer so it's it is not about the moment. basis or. every frame and put them together like a painter would. young minds works and lives with her family and i'm around an hour's drive south of amsterdam. after the photos have all been shot the most time consuming work begin this young man who spends weeks in her studio piecing together individual images dozens of different shots to create a single picture. not only is she able to achieve a depth that's virtually impossible to capture in one of my photographs this gives her pictures a kind of hyper real is that. a 21st century take on a 15th century masterpiece young man's interpretation of young man i guess the

virgin mary from the get altar piece. i like thrusting. go along with. it's seems just opening a box or. failing a good idea to do something. for us i don't know why but there was something i really like. photographs sound for around $5000.00 during. modern masterpieces are proof that one woman's trash is another woman's treasure. if you don't already segregated and recycle your i hope to these episodes has given you more than one reason to start doing it and if you really are sustainability champion we'll see you next week with many more such inspiring stories until then.
