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 in 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
1:39 pm
means more of the forest can be left to store c o 2. is a huge consequence. but doesn't have to be a problem and environmental engineer doesn't. have. blonde provides a. connection between. energy production and excessive consumption. in the heart of. string everywhere this neighborhood is literally drowning in it. illegal dumping sites are more than just an eyesore residents complain of a fellow. several cases of dengue have been reported in the area. that can only miss the pad as he has hired so-called marshals to crack down on
1:40 pm
those littering or dumping trash the motional makes the offender pick up the bag he just threw away. this guy is 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. 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. inspects the trash pick up in the neighborhood of court among. residents are meant to put their kitchen waste in a green been without linus it's then directly into the truck. but
1:41 pm
a chemistry teacher takes it upon himself to educate residents. pretty. good. but. not to be so that is the only problem i see. if i lie i need to be you feel like you should not be. here no. you're sure not. to have. it just because it along with your food and then you need. 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 encounters new dumping sites.
1:42 pm
but then again in. the environmental engineer has come up with his own solution to reduce the city's waste he's joined forces with. to set up a bio gas facility. field gannett waste from. the neighborhood which would normally go to a landfill is instead brought here as a rule material. the trash has to come in well suited otherwise it means high operational costs and less bio gas. today if it's payoff it wasn't as good. this is nearly 100 percent right there is about 5 percent but needs to strip probably the floor was an alert with which had very high living and content but i would rate this extremely good i mean this is now good enough for.
1:43 pm
the facility processes about 600 kilograms of local kitchen waste a day turning it into slaughtering the actual plant is further away built in refurbished shipping containers on land provided by the local authorities. there is also a business model the row 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 9294 percent of meet him which means it's much better than natural gas it can displace any fossil fuel. so at the end of the day we're creating. 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.
1:44 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. 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. attracts. the pollution creates metered again which is. creating. some not ion 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 every day from i.t.
1:45 pm
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 senators that can be shipped to customers across bangalore. our dream is to have this across india with all of this business running. it's a win win for the country as well as creating more jobs and creating energy security. so i'm not going on has already expanded into 2 more states he plans to continue growing the waste to fuel business model could be a viable way for far more indian cities to clean up their act. when it comes to food what does sustainable consumption actually mean yes it would be good to buy your produce food and it might be necessary to meet

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 but such an important point and we need to become more aware of it i believe or 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 nice market for young and well heeled urban foodies. we all love buying new clothes but. we need to stop doing that truly a company has found a week to make chic kilts out of the tongues of textile production india produces

1:52 pm
realization that led critique 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 what. then are cutting processes there's a lot of that happened so i could obs all of that on board the small scale unit or a lot there is so much that has been produced and that exists it's about time that we start thinking about using what their. garment waste is not the only problem in india the textile industry is a major polluter in india the 3rd biggest after plastic and paper. for india it's not just the garment with that we have to be concerned about it's
