1:44 pm
45000000000 sanitary napkins and tampons are discarded worldwide this article and this is also the reason why menstrual cups have only begun to gain in popularity. but the pressure is actually increasing. i. can see it in the fact that menstrual cups were hardly ever talked about in the past. but now a days you can see ads for them all over the place on the internet everywhere what's your own statements what's. the company sells the cups in india to fund could go 1st saw the film pad man with his business partners in sri lanka he thinks it helped to change attitudes. as it is a famous definitive and it is be it definitely changed things. first of all indians love cinema. and this is a true story. minced words you want it to really help to do

1:46 pm
dignity. for the longest time in history men have made most of the political and economic decisions is that a correlation between these decisions and the state to follow world and the environment that's the question more of the women are asking as there is the weiss's for better policies on environmental protection one distinct voice is that of me will make like. we're going to lose wonders of this world natural wonders and human made wonders you know whether it's the great barrier reef or venice. i think every human on this planet on some level is aware that our home is in crisis. we all need to understand what our particular strengths are and
1:47 pm
apply those to this project of transformation. i think we have an economic system that defines success progress health as and less economic growth and much of that growth is connected to an ideology of and less consumption. and that is the the fairy tale as great a tumor says that is incompatible with what our planet can take and so we need a different economic paradigm. in that moment that the climate crisis becomes
1:48 pm
a clear and present threat. we are seeing these strong men figures like trump like paulson are like to tear today. who are experts at pitting populations against each other these leaders are tapping into deep insecurities deep fears in their respective cultures. i have you know firmly believe that the only way we are going to beat these figures is with a policy agenda that is as bold as a green new deal. global emissions need to be cut in half in 11 years then in countries like germany and the
1:49 pm
united states we need to do it a lot faster than that because we have been polluting for a couple of 100 years so we've got a big head start on this so we need to do more if we're going to live up to our historical responsibility. the big fossil fuel companies knew about climate change in the 1970 s. these same companies like exxon in particular but others as well started pouring millions of dollars into the misinformation machine into the climate change denial machine everything from buying full page ads in the new york times saying that the science wasn't settled to funding right wing think tanks that existed just to spread misinformation about climate science. and that's why our conversation around
1:50 pm
expropriation if these companies continue with their intransigence should be part of the conversation we have. if you think about what hollywood has given ass almost every vision of the future that we get is some version of ecological collapse plus social collapse we need other visions of who we might be where we don't actually turn on each other where we do actually respond to this crisis. inequalities in societies or new with the world. the richer you walk the less so you feel the effects of climate change but more than most people realize this divide and accept the responsibility that comes with threats on many

1:52 pm
growing up there always sort of pinch me from within and i want to do something to bridge that gap. right there will not family is estimated to be worth at around 9000000000 euros but instead of joining the family business and then you know founded her own company so i turn to my girlfriend that offers micro loans in rural india she did not have any banking experience at the time. i took. everyone else. in the industry was in their late thirty's early forty's their forty's and i was at 17 so initially no wonder we see as we bank doesn't mean no one was willing to lend to me no one was willing to come on board into was a team all rather toughest thing to go was getting people on my side and out of
1:53 pm
making that doesn't make them understand i'm serious about this and i'm not just i'm a kid but i'm a kid with a vision. to use number of people especially from economically because social groups don't want to learn all the parts to prove their identity. i thank rural indians and particularly unlikely to have savings from our credit to schools making it almost impossible for them to get a loan from an ordinary bank that is red so our country microfinance comes in. this far more from our astra needed to borrow 100 euros to party is a call and improve the farm's productivity the family also needed a 2nd loan off at around 400 euros to pee hospital bill for the father and son.
