the 1st beethoven piece for her. is for the. beethoven is for cars claim beethoven is for the beethoven 202250th anniversary here. constantly buying food clothes gars plane tickets you name it the internet has only boiled stored this trend 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 and make consumption sustainable we'll explore that over the next 30 minutes hello welcome this is equal india and on some of the. fuel is a basic needs to be we need energy for cooking lighting our homes watching t.v. charging up by forms among so many other things we have little influence over how energy is produced but we can try to be mindful about how watch effect we are using it's a win win for climate change as well as the household budget women in the lower income community in the city of recognize this and are now the drivers of change. is on her regular morning rounds through low income settlements and north of.

kuwait just like the i. mean i'm from my lesson about trust i'd like a few moments of your time these are all. made comments that. she is on a mission to talk to as many residents as she can about what she now knows about running a household more effort. men she started making her both melbourne. things were quite different around here ok yeah yeah yeah but in those days around 10 of the 216 houses in this neighborhood had metered like the city 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 100 watt but 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 10 to p.c.

at the thing. 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 cold 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 statistic. people didn't realize why their environment was changing they thought that the effects of climate change were actually acts of god. but i asked them if they felt this what 10 years ago though they'd say no let us tell a casey by the city this what us so i would then ask for the advice has it become

so hot now you are breaking the law the. krishna ban explains walk to church every light and the effects of energy based in simple terms a survey showed that since 2010 the person page of the women here who actually beauty of rising temperatures and poor living conditions to a natural changes or unexplained phenomena fell from 26 percent to 9 percent. should not ban but is one of krishna bans 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 feeling found regulator bringing down her bill 2000 rupees or 25 who took. it apart from audit krishna ban and could

a just families in the neighborhood to install a very green energy products like sustainable model a natural ventilator. and other who has benefited from fish have been advice is me not being a dealer who walked in the sweltering heat inside her home in amman about bonus like heat for years. what love me was 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 heart . painting the roof by the suggestion made by krishna being the bright painter flex up to 90 percent of the sunlight that would otherwise be trapped as heat it's had

a positive effect on the electricity bill to. mean a band's families are among the hows and households who have made changes to their homes to improve energy efficiency since 2010. they see if close to 5 good order peas a year that's almost $600000.00 euros. number. 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 vermin of the house which is often the 1st legal document some of the women have ever received. their limits 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 and i can decide

myself then and how much to spend i no longer have to worry or depend on anyone knowing that part. of them and i believe us are impressive drivers of change in their own life as well as in their community. sustainable consumption sounds difficult but it isn't we often have the opportunity to consume sustainably in farming 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 were released into the air. transportation accounts for around one quarter of the emissions. biking instead of driving by train 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 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 land and less resources than meat products. that means more of the forest can be left to store c o 2 it's always does a huge consequence. but doesn't have to be a problem and environmental engineer doesn't. have. blonde provides a symbiotic 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 could only mr pattiz he has hired so-called marshals to crack down on those littering trash the motional makes the offender pick up the bag he just threw away . this guy who's throwing his waste here he hasn't separated it this is in the 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. inspects the trash pick up in the 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. get it they are. good at. it but. no. that is the only problem i see. if i lie i need you feel like you should not be. here no. you're sure not. to have. it just because it was a long. and then. 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. how hard is that. entrepreneur. encounters new dumping sites. 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. to set up a bio gas facility. 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 this good. this is merely 100 percent right about 5 percent but needs to

strip the floor was an alert with which had very highly been content but i would read this extremely good i mean this is now good enough for by i guess. the facility processes about 600 kilograms of local kitchen waste a day turning it into slowing 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 are producing as an end product of one mind 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 here

and. the biggest value is in 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. attracts. again. creating. again you know. 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 jobs have been created here at the 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. this business. it's a win win for the country as well as creating more jobs and creating energy security. so i'm not again 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. when it

comes to food what the sustainable consumption actually me yes it would be good to buy locally produced food and it might be necessary to eat less meat a german company nor are they we going through the gums and licorice supporting start ups to come up with sustainable food to. german can be manufactured has 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 banana or a lemon juice or powder called pressed not to pasteurize by heating the innovation in the sector is the pressure and so here's the world's 1st getting ready to see. the manager of the foundry 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 the us market may sound the knowledge 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 are meat alternative seriously but then the product doesn't taste good . and check this. it's a growing market sales a vegan and vegetarian products are rising significantly in germany in 28000 the market was worth over 1200000000 euros. touches green food has so far invested in 8 startups among the firms they've

invested in is the porridge maker kaja. have actually came across profited 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. because. it marked in 2014 on the shubert opened 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 parts 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 companies we were one of them and they were impressed by our part. their concept is simple take the oats that have been in europe for centuries and add different toppings and fruits. just went on a shubert and her co-founders were given the cash injection from couches green food they made the leap to become a chain. were mainly a take away business it isn't sustainability and packaging is a bit of a contradiction of pick although you could bring your own container and get it filled with the name of these questions keep coming up and we try to find the right answers and keep on growing rift of us also by that select from. the getting food

is 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 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 if. 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. a company

has found a week to make she out of the tons of textile production in india produces let's see how. bad this clothing design studio in southwesterly fabric waste is seen. it's 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 linear fashion model so today about 73 percent of the garment just

go into line foods because there is lack of really is of the using the fabrics and the garments that we are currently working with. it is this realization that led critique and due diligence to other funders to address the problem of textile waste in india and set up a design label committed to making fashionable clothing pieces from textile waste 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. then i thought being process is there's a lot of wrist edges that happened so i could obs all of that on the small screen 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 is already there. 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. but in india it's not just the garment with that we have to be concerned about is the production waste that we have to be concerned about this still one of the largest exporters of. these in the way so all of the waste is just i think i back level is still something that benoit been able to deal with the amount. producing. 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 $79000000000.00 metric so that's that's huge and the single t.

shirt is about $2720.00 tons of which is as much as most adults were drinking to us and that is a single. then of course that. in the production you know process itself which then impacts the going to do around which factories come. due diligence found is used personal funds to set up a company in 2012 now they have nearly 20 employees the seeds of inspiration are so on while the fabric was just being so watered. ones all of this. kind of designs of them we start fixing the. 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 doodle age has shown a collection every yeah at the lakme fashion week. the labels products are already available in 30 stores in india and also to some 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 thought to that next week with yet another. thank you
