world. there are 4 power and boundless ambition of the middle east and to a great crisis. the muslims of the gulf states nov 27th on t w. the planet we live on is very smartly designed so you chanst to many of our problems can be found by going back to nature this week we'll zoom in on one of their plants and how they can be reused off said the effect of harmful materials or not and what would. and you're 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 guys take a look. at. 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 they're largely biodegradable but the sheer amount is a problem if they're not cleared the end up clogging rivers and drains around the

country and the best is that 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 simply even ike temple in mumbai. the dempo is dedicated to lord ganesha and gets more than $40000.00 daily visits offerings. on tuesday is a holy day 200 kilos of flowers are brought to the temple. modish where separates the coconut host and other offerings from the flowers and moves the vase to a workshop in the densely populated industrial lanes of unforgiving east. at

the workshop here he hands it all over to mock power shake or one of the other 28 artisans who begin converting these balls 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 and an electrician i under are leaving these jobs in just a few months and did not have a good grub production in my neighborhood i was belittling 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 a sprinkle it over it it is then steamed and folded watched and dr. mary goes hibiscus. and roses all combined to produce colors that are reminiscent of the sights sounds and fragrance of temples in the city. the designer behind the venture is more my based group are truly the she grew up in on the cost of the other a b. and c.

and saw firsthand how religious offerings but clogging the city's water bodies and littering its beaches. and one of the days i had seen it was authentic the nationalist of all at that time and the vanish that was getting begin to research and created the entire you know the whole belt of the sea drowned in front of my house well strewn with muddy gold and oil based in 20083 way they began approaching temples to attack the problem at its source adventist sitting in mecca and in 10 minutes they said yes this they call the flowers and what do you give in return i said when we were begging to go on with i don't have anything finances that of a woman and problems in life they said nothing you just recycle the earth and you give us you give it to composting. group i 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 100 natural fabric every month they have also begun utilizing other natural based products like onion thieves and. the idea of recycling the idea of the scene of beauty in in what way can we impact the sustainability of our world that was the a.b.m. and i get it come from the environmental pollution that is happening in the sea. so the impact is very small really even if it is for the for the pollution that we're creating in something 15. miles the fashion industry has a long way to go before it reaches true sustainability you know we do have natural

products and berries are small steps towards it. the production of textiles is not only is that eco friendly dies from flowers can't be used for everything for example the leather industry the tanning of animals 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 dried poor in india fresh animal hides are preserved the traditional way with lots of chemicals the town has then scraped off what's left of the muscle fat and has. then comes the actual tanning substances like slaked lime and salt

turned the animal skin into finished 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. others can cause rushes asthma even cancer. that's a big problem because the letter 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 sure accumulate if that gets into the groundwater untreated it can contaminate drinking water toxins can also spread to farmers

fields. the indian government has recognized the problem and has taken initial steps to improve the situation in recent years it's forced some of the most polluting tanneries to close. not generally as one of the hotspots of the indian leather industry the regulations for canada are high but not all requirements are always met a german company has come up with an eco friendly solution a natural talent agent made from all of that used to be thrown of the economy instead of big businesses like car 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 tons of olives are harvested here every year and what's left is an enormous quantity of leaves. probably being burnt some of these leaves are now being sold to a german company that cleans shreds and boil some down with water to create

a viscous syrup and olive based tanning agent for leather it is even edible. for a few bucks i don't know all of lames 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 didn't start to cry for. olive leather as it's known where green is produced just like traditional level. using what's known as a plug in system every tannery in the world could switch over to all of turning 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 cower kind of room. anything we eat we can also tan. for israel pretty often 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 doofus. they won by our customer and also by ourself for making fast trainable another product out here

your technology requires a lot of investment and cost out i put a service because here they are on then but at the present but we have belief that it would benefit death in the long end. 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. in belarus i. have 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 false. 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 tanned leather 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 enraged and i want the 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 hear more and more tanneries in mexico brazil and india and now switching to all of letter. i 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 in general region into beautiful gift items see for yourself. year old bibi has lived her whole life next to new delhi's biggest and oldest garbage dump it is a spread out across 29 years. before that sometimes there were rains sometimes storms at times security guards cheers us out. door to crime garbage effaced several problems living there dead dog dead people dead babies sometimes the garbage trucks stop coming because they went to bed on time everything was left dumped in the area that used to double up as our

league round. making. some more babies part of the community of 400 families in east belize ghazi landfill many of whom sift through the mountain of garbage hoping to find something of value to say such as their copper paper loads and even gold and silver most often it is just last week or gloss. the city's largest flower market just happens to be on the other side of 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 plan was 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. 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 race because to common people one really accustomed to sitting on one place for a very long time to have the discipline and artistic sense to be able to understand where they were 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 waste. comes any

good in them as they are there and it was the women give this work is beyond us it is beyond us so my focus then changed to me it was now about instilling confidence and recently in islam. although the mindset began to change little by little and other problems look at the waist 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 the greeting card for them. and the good ones there were a lot of traction a lot of mornings where the women would then come somewhat when there were no. knows what i was then we were not able to pay the women and that's the time was the

1st challenge that we fear is that when we were not able to pay 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 wage of up to $5000.00 rupees per month and even have bank accounts earlier on hard all 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 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 daycare that's how i was able to book but otherwise it would have been very difficult to walk me. but radical social change takes time so i must neighbor our jury beauty still works at

the landfill for her it's more profitable. but some of your conquered it was. not does is clean hygenic work and that's what i don't have thinking waist is dirty but raised speaking earns me a more money than what i'm finding work would. want people we have 3 children with aging parents in-laws dead expenses 2 bedroom 70. it is not easy to convince more race because to work for the good med green project to . stay in the family's house to agree on the one long car the family's used to not even 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 their numbers are. for the very men of their work has changed their lives for the better

the foundation is working hard to convince more women to take part in the project its goal is to open even more centers like this in other parts of dead and across india. flowers and leaves which grow on land have been used for the oils big moments in essence the same truth but those to grow under water in our rivers and oceans to have huge potential big seaweed for example it can store large quantities of carbon dioxide because of which it makes want to create fuel there's high demand for it in the field of course metrics 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. kelp seaweed was harvested for medicinal purposes until about 50 years ago. with her 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 while 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. see we need snow fertilizer and the so-called kelp forests provide habitats for fish and so more food for animals like seals and birds. 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 berry 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 environments they will be open for a long surface like a rock so. it will its beliefs when one of them tell it finds that rock and it'll settle there so in the tank we have made the rules which why on the twine has a rough surface so therefore will. want to find the toy and i'm going to affect long . the spools grow small shoots over a period of around 9 weeks. growing them in the tanks 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. too much is said to say in the war or bacteria growing you know so when those things happen and since help us learn how to you know how to keep the water are very alkaline or to keep a very star oil. 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 as 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 to the last fishing family

that. farming has become a way for the fishes to diversify their business. 3 years ago i learned to cal pasta 25 tonnes 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 seaweed has been a staple of asian food kate is trying to also bring it to european plates one of the biggest challenges for help farming is the fact that the dollars require licensing space which is exclusive to what would be great in the future would be to say kelp farms or raw and for example ocean wind farms you know why not start

combining at sea and for structure and not kind of multi-use why but you know that's that's maybe my dream. but it would be good to see you know people like thinking outside the box. see wheat 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 folk help. the future it does look pride when we considered rico pissing 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 raining mumbai goodbye.
