12:45 pm
threw away. this guy is throwing his weight. and separated it this is a jumping ground the garbage truck went to his house but because he woke up too late. to be found. $200.00 rupees just under 3 euros for dumping household trash the city's infrastructure is failing to cope with the unchecked development and growth once known as the garden city bangalore now has a new nickname garbage city. some have had enough. every morning. inspect the trash pick up in her neighborhood of course among. residents are meant to put their kitchen waste in a green been without linus it's the end directly into the truck. but a chemistry teacher takes it upon himself to educate residents.
12:46 pm
get it they are. good at. it but he can't put no end of it to be so that is the only problem i see. if i lie i need to use feet but you should not because it has you know. you're sure not. to have. it just because it really compost along with your food and then you need the same age difference. not everyone follows the rules here all the trash has gone into one bin boy's my blood because. we have been and it's not rocket science. it's just separated and how hard is that. entrepreneurs some not encounters new dumping science daily.
12:47 pm
painting them up making but then again it's. the environmental engineer has come up with his own solution to reduce the city's waste he's joined forces with machinery ballroom to set up a bio gas facility. i think they're following instructions we were looking so full featured thank you feel granik waste from padma shri ballrooms neighborhood which would normally go to a landfill is instead brought here as a rule material. the trash has to come in. otherwise it means high operational costs and less bio gas. today if it's payoff. this is your 100 percent right. there is about 5 percent but needs to strip the floor was an alert with which are very high living and content but i would read this extremely good i mean this is no good enough for by i guess. the facility
12:48 pm
process is about 600 kilograms of local kitchen waste a day turning it into slamming the actual plant is further away built in the 3rd this shipping container is on land provided by the local authorities. there is also a business model the blow by a gas is purified here and then stored in a tank. the resulting gas brand named carbon lights is sold. what we're producing as an end product is about 90 to 94 percent of meet him which means it's much better than natural gas it can displace any fossil fuel beat m.p.g. but from abuse and so at the end of the day we're creating of a clean clean renewable energy right here and. the biggest guy is a neighboring restaurant the gas is piped in from just 200 meters away.
12:49 pm
the restaurant is hugely popular the kitchen uses about 70 kilograms of bio gas a day which is also cheaper than conventional cooking gas. or demonstrated your pipe for that for being all you know. we don't have the stocks in and of the owner who responds you know it's cost effective it's good really and we're doing something pretty and right where. the bulk of bangalore's waste is driven 40 to 50 kilometers outside the city there are no official dumps within the city anymore for the $5000.00 tons of garbage bangalore generates every single day . even designated landfills like this one on a major has it. it's the most unscientific waste attracts. causes diseases the
12:50 pm
pollution creates again which is. damaging your source creating. some not ion has scaled up his operations to help keep more waste out of landfills and make his business valuable. about 13 tons of food waste arrive at this plant north of bangalore every day from i.t. parks and corporate campuses. about $7000.00 jobs have been created here to buy a gas plant. unlike the facility in the city it also compresses the gas it's then bottled into cylinders that can be shipped to customers across bangalore. our dream is to have across india with. business. for the country as well as creating more jobs and creating energy security.
12:51 pm
some not only on has already expanded into 2 moves states he plans to continue growing the waste to fuel business model could be a viable way for famu indian cities to clean up their act. even breathing can kill according to the w.h.o. 7000000 people die every year due to air pollution fine particulate matter emitted by traffic and industry affects the health of 90 percent of people worldwide now china the world's biggest polluter is taking action its growing middle class wants cleaner air. we're a 3 hour drive outside beijing and despite appearances environmental activist john john funk knows that all is not well the river is almost dry the last 2 decades he's been recording the dwindling aquatic life of this region. well mission you
12:52 pm
have everything is focused on china's growth and making us economically competitive but we are using up our natural resources and really no one knows how things can continue. polluted ground water and air have become commonplace in and around china's big cities everyone has got used to monitoring air quality on a daily basis. and that here the air is good here in the mountains. really fresh in fact. but as soon as i get closer to beijing things deteriorate. i start to feel really unwell. feet before. this was the scene in beijing 4 years ago the footage was taken at midday but it could be nice china is the biggest air pollution in the world. for a long time the country relied only on coal but no new coal powered stations are being built any more coal consumption has flatlined since 2013 over the last
12:53 pm
5 years or so there's been a lot of improvements beijing's air quality in the air quality across northern china. that's been as a result of a lot of government measures to clamp down on. the burning of coal and households to switch. heating with gas heating and also stricter emissions standards on industry. the emission levels of many industrial plants are now being tested in real time and posted online margin collects these huge amounts of data. with this anyone can see who is exceeding the norms. and through this effort some of the lodges plot you know some of this they don't they're the prizes started responding to the. to the people pressure and started opening address their violations. china has traditionally been seen as the world's factory floor and has
12:54 pm
the emissions to show for us that's why margin wants to ensure international consumer goods companies like dell. and keep tabs on the environmental records of their suppliers. 1st question there's always like you know we have a green policy but in china sorry i just don't know who are polluting it and i still remember the 1st meeting that we were able to tell them that look we have some data. steel and cement production are huge sources of pollution as china's economy has grown its infrastructure is also expanded in the last 3 years the country has used more cement than the u.s. did in the entire 20th century and china's building boom continues. c. basically any trends in terms of industry or the power sector here ultimately any trends in coal consumption are of importance to the whole world. and
12:55 pm
these trends can be positive china has become a world leader in solar power for example. no other country invests as much money in renewables as beijing solar power is now cheaper than grid electricity and much of the country. back in the mountains near beijing. is confident that china is moving in the right direction at the moment c o 2 emissions per capita in china are less than half what they are in the us and he wants to stay that way. when you know when. people are becoming increasingly aware of the environmental problems here and responding accordingly many have understood that environmental protection is ultimately in their own best interest. but some still see growing prosperity and environmental protection as being at odds with one another with his photos john fund wants to show just what an asset are not to all surroundings are.
