and you know what time your voice is. on this 77 percent talk about the stock market. from politics to flash from housing boom boom town this is where it was. welcome to the 77 percent. this weekend d.w. . constantly buying food clothes cars plane tickets you name it the internet has only boiled store district human consumption is at its highest ever but what we often forget is that this indiscriminate consumption has

a huge impact on the environment we live in is it a possibility to strike a balance i'm a consumption sustainable we'll explore that over the next 30 minutes hello welcome this is equal india and on some of that i've heard fuel is a basic need to do we need energy for cooking lighting our homes watching t.v. charging on will buy phones among so many other things we have little influence over how energy is produced but we can try to be mindful about how much effect reusing it's a win win for climate change as well as the household budget women in the lower income community in the city of the bad recognize this and are now the drivers of change. vision of any other is on her regular morning rounds through low income settlements and. north of.

wales just by the i. mean i'm from my lesson about trust i'd like few moments of your time this will. make amends. she is on a mission to talk to as many residents as she can about what she now knows about running a household more efficiently when she started making her both little visits things were quite different around here ok yeah yeah yeah but in those days around 10 of the $216.00 houses in this neighborhood had metered electricity connections each of these houses was sharing electricity with at least 10 other houses and we were not so well informed it would put up a 100 watt bulb even in the toilet because it costs just 10 rupees but the bus did not come with any guarantee it would soon stop working and we would go and buy another one for tender piece. number and took it upon herself to learn

what could be done better she now works with a local organization that trained her how to conduct full scale energy audits to help enable other marginalized women make their households as efficient as possible . in 2016 india became the code largest consumer of electricity in the world behind the u.s. and china the lack of access to information specifically about the effects of overconsumption is a contributing factor to this jarring status to. the war quote now cover new people didn't realize why their environment was changing and they thought that the effects of climate change were actually acts of god. but i asked them if they felt this heart 10 years ago though they'd say no let us bellick a seat by the city this was just so i would then ask for the vi. has it become so

hot now. the. krishna ban explains walk to efficient light and the effects of energy based in simple terms a survey showed that since 2010 the both of them in here who actually be writing temperatures and poor living conditions do unnatural changes or unexplained phenomena fell from 26 percent to 9 percent. is one of krishna bands gunboats a family of 5 used to deceive a monthly electricity bill of $5000.00 rupees out of around 63 year olds that's a 6th of their income. since the audit showed number one has to wish to 7 what a 26 want to be like and a one watt ceiling fan regulator bringing down her bill to 2000 rupees or 25 who took. it apart from audits krishna ban and could be just families in the

neighborhood to install a very right of green energy products like sustainable model and natural ventilator thanks. and other who has benefited from fish have been advice as me not being a dealer who walked in the sweltering heat inside her home in. bonus like heat for years. the used to feel extremely hot and i was restless all the time as it is a i just don't stay indoors i used to run outside to get some white paint has brought peace into my life now when i switch on the fan it doesn't feel that hard. painting the roof by the suggestion made by krishna being the bright boy interest rates up to 90 percent of the sunlight that would otherwise be trapped as heat it's hard. positive effect on the electricity bill to.

ban and mena bans families are among the hows and households who have made changes to their homes to improve energy efficiency since 2010. in total they see if close to 5 good order peas a year that's almost $600000.00 euros. one of the biggest changes though has been in the role of women in the community almost 80 percent of newly installed electric meters are in the name of the woman of the house which is often the 1st legal document some of the women have ever received. but i used to depend on my husband for money to run the household but now i have become financially independent and live off my own onions i can decide myself then

and how much to spend i no longer have to worry or depend on anyone doing that got . the amount of impressive drivers of change in their own life as well as in their community. sustainable consumption sounds difficult but it is we also have the opportunity to consume sustainably informing yourself about better alternatives and then looking for them in your supermarket i would be a good start here are a few good ideas to help you with that. world wide c o 2 emissions reach new heights in 2019. over 40000000000 tonnes of carbon dioxide released into the air. transportation accounts for around one quarter of the emissions. biking instead of driving by 2. rain instead of by

plane these are ways for everyone to reduce c o 2 emissions a 1000 kilometer journey by train releases 36 kilos of c o 2 the same distance by plane releases almost 6 times that amount. most energy is produced by burning fossil fuels and every year more energy is needed the prognosis is that the world will need 50 percent more energy by the year 2050. conditioners lighting and computers for a growing world population by using moderate temperature settings an energy saving technology everyone can reduce their carbon footprint. rain forests absorb lots of climate. every 2nd an area the size of a football pitch is cut down by cutting down trees and using slash and burn farming room is made for food production not just livestock but also the feed those animals

need like soy and corn. buying plant based products in the supermarket is more environmentally friendly because they need less resources than meat products. that means more of the forest can be left to store c o 2. is a huge consequence. but we have to be a problem and environmental engineer and a citizen activist have come together. and provides a symbiotic connection between. energy production and excessive consumption. in the heart of. it is festering everywhere this neighborhood is literally drowning in it. illegal dumping sites are more than just an eyesore residents complain of a. several cases of dengue have been reported in the area.

bank of the municipality has hired so-called marshals to crack down on those littering or dumping trash the motional makes the offender pick up the bag he just threw away. this guy he's throwing his weight he hasn't separated it this is a dumping ground the garbage truck went to his house but because he woke up too late. to find. it's $200.00 rupees just under 3 euros for dumping household trash the city's infrastructure is failing to cope with the unchecked development and. once known as the garden city bangalore now has a new nickname garbage city. some have had enough. every morning. inspects the trash pickup in her neighborhood of koramangala.

residents are meant to put their kitchen waste in the green been without linus it's the end directly into the truck. but a chemistry teacher takes it upon himself to educate residents. pretty. good it will get it no one but he can put plastic you know to be so that is the only problem i see. if we can highlight i need to use feet but you should not. you know. you're sure not. to have. beaches because it really compost along with your food and then you need the same. not everyone follows the rules here all the trash has gone into one bin boys my blood really because. we have been and it's not rocket science.

it's just separated and how hard is that. entrepreneurs some not only on encounters new dumping sites daily they will allow the spark this. painting them up making but then again it goes up with. the environmental engineer has come up with his own solution to reduce the city's waste he's joined forces with patmos rebuild to set up a bio gas facility. deal gannett 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 wells source it otherwise it means high operational costs and less bio gas. today if it's payoff. is good. this is merely 100 percent right. but needs to strip

the floor was an alert with which i very highly commend but then i would read this extremely good i mean this is now good enough for by. the facility process is about 600 kilograms of local kitchen waste a day turning it into. the actual plant is further away built in the thirty's chipping contain is on land provided by the local authorities. there is also a business model. the go by a gas is purified here and then stored in a tank. the resulting gas brand named carbon lights is. what we're producing as a name product. might be 4 percent of meet him which means it's much better than. it can displace any fossil fuel. so at the end of the day we're creating. a clean clean renewable energy right. the biggest buy is

a neighboring restaurant the gas is piped in from just 200 meters away. the restaurant is hugely popular the kitchen uses about 70 kilograms of bio gas a day which is also cheaper than conventional cooking gas. 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. causes disease or. pollution creates metered again which is. creating. some not only on has scaled up his operations to help keep more waste out of landfills and make his business.

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 at the bio gas plant. unlike the facility in the city it also compresses the gas it's then bottled into senators that can be shipped to customers across bangalore. our dream is to have across india with. this business but i mean. it's a win for the country as well as creating more jobs and creating energy security. something that iran has already expanded into 2 more 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. when it

comes to food what a sustainable consumption actually yes it would be good to buy locally produced food and it might be necessary to meet a german company norful they we've been through this and licorice is supporting startups to come up with tasty and sustainable food to. german can be manufacturing cost years that started a venture capital fund in downtown berlin the family owned firm hope scotches green food will encourage hip sustainable nutrition trends and make money at the same time as a. mango coconut milk or a banana syrup lemon juice or all the powder like cold pressed not to pasteurize by heating the innovation in the sector is the pressure and so here's the world's 1st at the ready to eat as a whole. the manager of the fund to spin

a vegetarian since childhood funds food projects that she believes are forward looking and environmentally friendly bacon chips without pork or hemp bars and she's prepared to invest between 200002 1000000 euros in them says mike it may sound the knol but especially for investors from the tech side the taste has to be top class in the food sector if the taste isn't great you won't get customers coming back for more sometimes we get companies with great ideas that take plant based issues or meat alternative seriously but then the product doesn't taste good right and i've been to flight management as kids are growing market sales of vegan and vegetarian products are rising significantly in germany in 2018 the market was worth over 1200000000 euros. cultures green food has so far invested in 8 startups among the firms they've invested in is the porridge maker. hof akasha. have. actually came across half

a cottage by accident they had a pop up store in the main train station and i walked past it on a sunday and tried it and found the taste fantastic i got talking to the founders and learned about their concept but we ended up investing because it was the 1st healthy breakfast to go on the market and yes. it marked in 2014 on the shubert open berlin's 1st part bar with 2 friends they wanted to offer something different from the bakery chains and i thought it's always easier to sell something with meat a breakfast with ham will sell people want that but there are enough existing concepts that offer it already we don't have to. $40000.00 portions of powerage across hoffer counters counters every month odes fruit and nuts are challenging meats dominance. that's when we started we renovated

a small kebab shop that we scraped all the fat off the walls and said let's start our pards business after a few months we took part in an accelerator program run by german rail they were looking for startups to make train stations more appealing it was mostly tech firms with a few food companies we were one of them and they were impressed by our part. their concept is simple take the old set of been in europe for centuries and add different toppings and fruits. just when i know schubert and her co-founders were given the cash injection from cottages green food they made the leap to become a chain. were mainly a take away business. sustainability and packaging is a bit of a contradiction of pick and although you could bring your own container and get it filled with these questions keep coming up and we try to find the right answers and keep on growing. also by that so that. the good food. there's now

a trend in german cities this shows where most begin foodstuffs are being rolled out 15 percent of global market launches take place in germany closely followed by the united kingdom in the united states in spain in france it's only 4 percent so a market for wealthy countries but there's more to it if any witnesses i wish there was wider awareness of the relationship between nutrition and the environment and that such an important point and we need to become more aware of it but i believe we're just at the beginning especially in germany and in the united states people are already 2 years further along in terms of consciousness but in fact. germany may be catching up fast but for the time being sustainable food trends remain a niche market for young and well heeled urban foodies. we all love buying new clothes but. we need to stop doing that well not really

a company has found a way to make chic out of the tons of textile production in india produces let's see how. they have this clothing design studio in southwesterly fabric waist is seen as a valuable resource the philosophy is simple we don't need more new clothes that challenges the current fast fashion business model something this label does with pride. the problem in the fashion industry starts from the fact that it's based on a fashion model so today about 73 percent off garment 3 stages go into lunsford's because. there is lack of reserve using the fabrics and

garments that we can with. it was this realisation that led pretty toller and due diligence to other founders to address the problem of textile waste in india and set up a design label committed to making fashionable clothing pieces from textile waste or upcycling discarded items it's a concept that has been gaining in popularity in the textile industry all over india as awareness rises. there's always a garment that comes out of it. but then i got the process is there's a lot of rooster jewels that happened so i could all of that on board the small screen or a log in it that is so much that has been produced and that exists it's about time that we start thinking about using what would i do that. government waste is not the only problem in india the textile industry is

a major polluter india the 3rd biggest after plastic and paper. for india it's not just the garment with that you have to be concerned about it's the production risk that you have to be concerned about this to one of the largest exporters of both objects and dominance in the wood so all of the waste is just as we're going to i think at that level is still something that even though i've been able to deal with the amount of their producing armaments that. they'd bought a mental implications of watering and the situation is only getting worse by the day due to the surging demand for products use of chemicals the need for landfill space energy and water consumption. into a new 1501. and that fashion industry used up about 79000000000 metric yourself so that's that's huge and the single t.

shirt is takes up about 2720 liters a flock of which is as much as most adults will drink into your eyes and that is a single t. shirt. then of course that doc 6 that leached in the production you know process itself which then impacts the communities around which factories come . due diligence found as used personal funds to set up a company in 2012 now they have nearly 20 employees the seeds of inspiration are saum while the fabric waste is being sorted. once all of this. thinking about what kind of designs. we start fixing the brakes so that they can actually be used. that's not all the produce bags and other items and the scraps from their own production going to

making other new products as well. in india doodle a just considered a somewhat expensive brand with garments costing between 50 to 100 euros. presenting. since it 1st set up shop dude league has shown the collection at the lakme fashion week. you know. the labels products are already available in 30 stores in india and also through some of these stores but things there's still a long way to go. not a fundamental level sustainable consumption means being mindful. and choosing to preserve that with respect i hope you will give some of that we'll be back next week with yet another. germany thank you for
