to the freedom of russia. and featuring a lead role like you've never seen before let me be clear with you i have to act in ways that i feel necessary and people who simply understand that. the players that are marriage to the ends justify the means. to terms with mrs starts december 13th on t w. the planet we live on is very smartly decide so you chanst too many of our problems can be found by going back to nature this week we'll zoom in on one of their plugs and how they can be reused offsetting the effect of harmful materials on out of one

mint. and you are watching a brand new short of. a visit to an indian temple or mosque is quite incomplete without an offering of flour with these places of worship around the country collect downs of flowers every day many of them sending it to the trash can the next morning a mumbai designer is recycling discarded temple offerings to make natural dyes taken. in. india weeks after the call of prayer and the sights and sounds of offerings to countless gods each morning. temples and holy places brimmed with bringing fresh fruits and flowers but after they are blessed the offerings often end up on the roads or rivers outside their

largely bio degradable but the sheer amount is a problem if they're not cleared the end of clogging rivers and drains around the country and the best are it's used to grow the plows can poison the ecosystem. of the of. the north my work is a resident of mumbai who cannot hear or speak every week he works to collect around 150 kilos of flowers offered at the famous of the even ike temple in mumbai. the temple is dedicated to the lord ganesha and gets more than 40000 daily visits offerings speak on 2. news day is a holy day $200.00 kilos of flowers are brought to the temple. modish were separates the coconut host and other offerings from the flowers and moves the vase to

a workshop in the densely populated industrial lanes off until the east. at a workshop here he hands it all over to. our one of the other 28 artisans who begin converting these plows into natural died many come from difficult backgrounds but have found comfort in the work here. i have done or jobs and worked as a mechanic an electrician i under are leaving these jobs in just a few months and did not have a grup or addition in my neighborhood i was by people and became very depressed my friend father who used to work here and that's how i got a job here do. his part

of the dying team that is able to make use of every type of flour they get fresh dry or decomposing. she prepares the fabric by heating it in a mixture of water and a bit of alum that ensures that the pigment from the flowers and helps to the fabric. then as the fabric is laid on to the floor bettles asprin called over it it is then steamed and folded washed and dried. hibiscus under. all combined to produce colors that are reminiscent of the sights sounds and fragrance of temples in the city.

the design a behind the venture is my best group are true maybe she grew up in wasilla on the coast of the arabian sea and saw firsthand how religious offerings what clogging the city's water bodies and littering its beaches. are one of the. ways that seeing it goes then again a shift of will at that time in the vanish that was getting begin to research and created the entire you know the whole belt of the sea front in front of my house well strewn with muddy gold and oil based in 2008 really began approaching temples to attack the problem at its source adventist sitting in the back and in 10 minutes they said yes this leaves all the flowers and what do you give in return i

said when what do i give an account because i don't have anything finances that of a woman and problems in life this is nothing you just recycle the earth and you give us you give it to composting. ruled by uses what was based on the temples pressed into the fabric at a workshop better team of dealers create scarves dresses and other garments at the moment the team produces up to 50 hues and 4000 meters of hand dyed natural fabric every month they have also begun utilizing other natural based products like onions the uncommon or. the idea of recycling the idea of the scene of routine in what way can we impact the sustainability of our world that was the i.b.m. and i did it come from the environmental pollution that was happening in the c. so the impact is very small really even if it is indeed

a for the for the pollution that we're creating something 15. while the fashion industry has a long way to go before it reaches true sustainability you know we do have natural products and dyes are small steps towards it. the production effect is not always equal friendly dies from flowers gone to be used for everything for example the leather industry the tanning of animal skin uses many chemical compounds like chromium sulfate which have a detrimental effect on the environment it's a threat to groundwater and in humans it causes a serious and respite tree. there's no escaping the stench that hangs over this village in a dry poor in india fresh animal hides are preserved the traditional way with lots of chemicals the town has them scrape off what's left of the muscle fat and have.

then comes the actual tanning substances like slaked lineman salts turn the animal skin into finished blood within a few hours chromium is the most commonly used chemical. it's dangerous work some of the substances can cause blindness if they come into contact with the eyes. of those can cause russia. even cancer. that's a big problem because the leather industry is a significant part of the indian economy there are about 2000 tonne a reason the country employing more than 2500000 people that makes india one of the most important letter producers in the world. the environmental impact is immense to process a 1000 kilograms of raw heights 500 kilogram. of chemicals are needed and up to 50 cubic meters of voice for turkey in the late if that gets into the groundwater

untreated it can contaminate drinking water toxins can also spread to farmer's fields. the indian government has recognized the problem and has taken initial steps to improve the situation in recent years has forced some of the most polluting tanneries to close. now chennai is one of the hotspots of the indian leather industry the regulations for tanneries a hike but not all requirements are always met a german company has come up with an eco friendly solution a natural canning agent made from all of these that used to be thrown of they're convinced that big businesses like can make a beer and designer label hugo boss will help their cause. in the olive groves of the mediterranean a quiet industrial revolution is under way more than $3000000.00 tonnes of olives are harvested here every year and what's left is an enormous quantity of leaves.

rather than being burnt some of these leaves are now being sold to a german company that cleans shreds and boils them down with water to create a viscous syrup and olive based tanning agent for leather it is even edible. for a few bucks right on all of lanes are in such plentiful supply we could currently use them in 40 percent of global leather production more than 700000000 square meters that would be 100 percent of automobile leather 100 percent of upholstered furniture and 100 percent of clothing we could switch over completely to all of tanning and even if there weren't enough leaves we could always use the olive palace or the black water like the waste water from all of the oil mills and start to cry for. olive leather as it's known that went green is produced just like traditional level. using what's known as

a plug in system every tannery in the world can switch over to all of tanning immediately. it would spell the end of toxic by products like contaminated leather shavings. right i mean we can manufacture any type of leather and terms of the raw materials we have everything cheap goat coward. anything we can also turn. point really pretty off. chennai on the western coast of india is one of the country's tannery hotspots the leather industry is believed to be contaminating the groundwater recently the government imposed stricter regulations on the sector the company gemini has gone further. it's adopted the german olive based tanning agent and now only produces all of leather. more and more fashion labels demand products that contain no chemical residues. have developed all immersed in lot

of research and development in sheer doof. given by our customer and also by ourself for making fast trainable the other product as you need your technology it requires a lot of investment and cost out but it certainly does because here by our own 10 to 30 percent but we have belief that little benefit does in the longer. in india gemini is a pioneer in this field producing leather clothing for big brands like hugo boss the plant based tanning agent is not only environmentally friendly it also doesn't harm the workers. i've been working here for 15 years things have changed considerably since the tannery went green the safety the environmental impact and the working conditions have changed a lot. today india is one of the biggest textile manufacturers in the

world and there's still enormous potential for growth measures to improve environmental impact an occupational safety a slowly coming to force. eco friendly leather turning could be a huge leap forward for the industry. in germany more and more customers are choosing environmentally friendly products. olive turned level is available in all conceivable colors but it is a little more expensive went green is confident that enough people are prepared to pay that price and that the clothing industry will respond it was initially i want a leather industry to be more open especially the fashion labels and to not just talk about sustainability or just put solar panels on their roofs they need to actively take steps toward sustainable level because it will help everyone you know well as i'm hearing more and more turnarounds in mexico brazil and india and now switching to letter. a leap forward like this even change the lives

of the people who work in india outstanding industry for the better many a time it's the workers one of the forefront to bear the impact of ecological damage and organization in delhi is trying to solve problems by employing the city's waste because. the tons of flour will be used to generate it into beautiful gift items see for yourself. bebe has lived her whole life next to new delhi's biggest and oldest garbage dump it is a spread out across 29 years. sometimes there are rains sometimes storms at times security guards cheered us out. door to crime garbage we faced several problems living there dead dogs dead 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 up as our colleague round. making. some part of the community of 400 families in east belize gods you learn from. many of whom sift through the mountain of garbage hoping to find something of value to say such as head. paper loads and even gold and silver most often it is just gloss 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 flowers especially because there are no cold storage facilities. for 5 years ago a blonde this hatched to believe both of these race related problems.

in the london foundation and then geo working in the area brought the communities women together for an alternative livelihood project. the good many have green produce a company it 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 good risk 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 what they were doing so initially there were 2345 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 communities that who had been conditioned to resigned to their fate of being lifelong race rick. comes any good in them as they are i suppose the women given this work is beyond us it is beyond us so my focus. then changed to me and so it was now about instilling confidence in the simply means that i'm thinking. although the mindset began to change little by little and not a problem lou. 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 created 50 rupees for a gallon a greeting card for back. in the good months there were a lot of traction a lot of mornings when the women would then come somewhat when there were no orders

for us then we were not able to pay the women and that's the time was the 1st challenge and the fear is that when we were not able 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 accounts earlier on huddle in the community all times to private funds and money from the island of foundation. the center also runs a school for their children and provides childcare facilities so that their mothers don't have to what are you while the uk notify them valuable have started realising 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 and some must neighbor or jury b.b. still works at the landfill for her it's more profitable. but some others are. there was have. a what man does is clean hygenic work and that's what i don't have thinking raised is dirty but raised speaking earns me a more money than what i know work would. want people we have 3 children with aging parents in-laws there are expenses to bear. it is not easy to convince because to work for the green project to. fairly new families yaadein we are now gone longer and their families used to nor do i even let them come here today except for those with babies almost everyone

here spends the day at the stalls so whenever they are put up and start out and they know what's out there. for them and of their work has changed their lives for the better the nylander foundation is working hard to convince no women to take part in the project its goal is to open even more centers like this in other parts of delhi and across india. flowers and leaves which grow on land have been used for the oils big moments in essence for centuries but those to grow under water in our rivers and oceans to have huge potential seaweed for example it can store large quantities of carbon dioxide because of which it makes sort of create fuel there's high demand for it in the field of course mix to a family in northern ireland is trying something delicious with it take a look. it might not look like much but seaweed

is bringing a new lease of life to a small island in northern ireland. both the human and marine residents of ruslan island are strongly dependent on the other flow of the ocean. seaweed was harvested for medicinal purposes until about 50 years ago. with a company islander kelp kate burns is bringing seaweed back this time for food. she cuts the nutrient rich algae into noodles to sell to restaurants. of course it was harvested wild what i'm doing is different from farming it which is more sustainable also means that we can choose which help we want to grow it means we can stagger the growing season so it's kind of altogether a smarter way to do it. seaweed meats no fertiliser and the so-called kelp forests provide habitats for fish and so more food from the most like seals and. it's in

the nursery where the process really starts kate and her team have found a sustainable way to artificially begin growing the kelp sara barry prepares the reproductive areas of the kelp blades. they released spores which sarah then pours around spools where they can settle and begin to grow. she doesn't use chemicals organic feed is enough. you know. that there they are in their own environment they will be looking for a long surface like a rock so. it will it as we swim with a little tail and tell find that rock on it will settle there so in the tank we have made the rules which why and the twine has a rough surface so therefore will. find the choice and it will settle on.

the spools grow small shoots over a period of around 9 weeks. growing them in the times has the advantage that the company does not impact the island's ecosystem. but it's not always plain sailing. growing is in the tank we have had some problems from time to time we've lost spruce too. too much is said to say in the war or bacteria growing you know so when those things happen and it's helped us learn how to you know how to keep the water are very alkaline or to keep a very star i hope. once they've grown in the time the seaweed shoots a laid out on groups and taken into the sea a few months later it's time for the team to harvest. island to help his

license 38 because of ocean space for the nutrient rich. the company was founded in 2013 by kate and her sons who grew up on the island and the last fishing family there. seaweed farming has become a way for the fishes to diversify that business. 3 years ago i learned to cal pasta 25 tons of kelp. today they managed to harvest about 40 tons a year to meet the growing demand. now it's time to clean mcalpin turn it into something more appealing it's sold to restaurants and wholesalers in the u.k. and elsewhere in europe we're going to turn. this. into these noodles for a long time see wheat has been a staple of asian food kate is trying to also bring it to european plates one of the biggest challenges for cult farming is the fact that the dollars require

licensees space which is exclusive what would be great in the future would be to see kelp farms or raw and for example ocean wind farms you know why not start to come by and see infrastructure and not kind of multi-use why but you know that stops may be my dream. but it would be good to see you know people like thinking outside the box. seaweed farming is heavily reliant on the weather and work can be unpredictable but there will always be some time for kate sarah and the rest of the team to run locks. for the 1st few years it's been a lot of trial and error but despite all that the future looks bright for help. the future does look pride when we considered requote busy reusing and recycling our limited resources i hope you had many takeaways from today's show be back next

week with yet another interesting episode until then from rainy one by good bye.
