beethoven is for cars play is for the beethoven 202250th anniversary here. constant change has defined mankind's journey showed that we've moved from an agricultural society to an industrial society and today there are technologies powered suicide to acknowledge it has pushed us to become empowered and find solutions beyond what we thought was possible what does this change mean for the planet that's what we'll dig deeper into today hello welcome to eco india i'm

somewhat on who coming to you from mumbai. is one of the largest slums in the world us and highlighted boiled over for its poor living conditions and made popular by the oscar winning film slumdog millionaire but a look ality is a hub of small scale industries with an annual turnover of close to $1000000000.00 an e-commerce startup is attempting to increase their access to the marketplace by creating an online platform to sell their goods beyond the graffiti. of. the heart of e is a means of finding. its 2nd largest covering 2 square kilometers and situated only a few minutes from mumbai spider-man should district it is also mumbai is largest manufacturing center the harvey is

a hive of activity here borders with roots in the state of gujarat up work and live alongside the study embroiders from what i've read the garment makers and plastic recyclers crossed paths with metals mates and a makers antanas in all there are more than 10. wasn't skilled craftsman here. it was this energy that drew entrepreneur made. 8 years ago this is a very close knit and if you give the me was the liberty and access to go the whole country will go. does idea was to raise the heart of the market out of relative obscurity by setting up an online marketplace where the artisans can advertise their workshops on products now they can reach clients far beyond the potential is huge part of these workshops sell goods worth over $60000000000.00 rupees on about $800000000.00 euros each year.

every little need is like a mini factory where you have. different world shops producing different things and it's so self-sufficient. because they're not educated the oysters are not told i believe by peaking by a launching a website for them and. putting their products and their will on line for the larger market to see i am sort of giving them a wise. khans workshop meets leather goods and specializes in wallets before starting to sell its product on the heart of the market dot com it had sales of about 130000 euros a year but minogue opt out toward the workshop could do better especially if it switched from animal hides to plant land. agreed and now this company only uses artificial leather made from recycled paper it doesn't care is easy to work with

and it's washable. we will do this eco friendly might be due to various trade fairs so that corporates can order in bulk and the whole idea is again to move toward sustainability. each product is photographed and uploaded to the website at the beginning may god just 5 artisans on the harley market dot com now it showcases more than 300 bookshops. ads between 10 and 25 percent of the craftsman's prices depending on what you but this is a it is worth it and that their incomes have increased by 20 to 40 percent thanks to direct access to a much broader market. when muhammad branch eek 1st game to the hobby he had to leave its family behind and father would be hard.

by 11 my family used to live in the village but now they live here with me the kids go to school i can now afford the fees and the rent earlier i couldn't order. is keen to promote sustainability she's not cooperating with textile companies here the idea is to turn the scraps of fabric that accumulated in the heart of every day into new products. the brand is called with stands for 0 waste and it's spelled with. their age. so we've included the word he to win it because we believe our fast when i hear it all then they can create anything out of. they can create anything out of waste. a lot of the small walk shops and how we have signed up to make our sport of it's of indeed has a much larger him to enhance the held answers to enable development of the entire community. in the we should through

technology in modern society to be we can work towards improving living conditions and conserving natural resources with technology take water for example according to the united nations the demand for water which is the basic in. gradient of life will exceed supply by 40 percent by 2030 in the netherlands companies are coming up with interesting solutions to conserve and reuse water. for these children who water is a basic right that here in the netherlands comes easily from the top. ok. as it does for children even to wash their hands. even so this family knows just how valuable it is. that water is really

important with no water you can't drink and you die. washing the family clothes is done with recycled. the washing machine is fed with the household waste water which has been purified by a machine called the hydro loop and tells them skin and when there's enough for a cycle to water to use. you know anything is that we do. use to get. our life so it's much possible for saving water with the machine and africa family of 4 in the netherlands uses up to 191000 liters of water per year hydro loop says its clients use around 45 percent less. mars. when we came to live here and us having kids we were you thinking about ok how can we make this world better also for our kin for the next 2 to inherit the earth

after us and this is when we thought ok we have to be smart and think head. waters seems to be abundant in the netherlands around 60 percent of domestic water here comes from the ground the rest is surface water once used in homes wastewater is treated and then returned to the represent oceans but treatment takes a lot of energy and water is also lost along the way. after full kisa designed the hydra loop at the centralized water recycling system that means part of the process is done in your own home the system doesn't use filters instead using 6 steps to treating clean the waste water to international standards. we collect the water from the shower and hopefully also from the washing machine and then we treat it will remove all soap and hair and sentencing plaque that we

disinfected so it's safe and then you can reuse it again for your washing machine to flush the toilets and for your garden. the water can only be recycled once and it can't be used for drinking. the only delight shows now that the reason after recycled water to flush the toilet . so when i 1st the toilet it takes now recycled water from the lower tank and if this light turns blue this means oh you ran out of recycled water you're now using mains water hydrate prices start at around 3300 euros it's already selling in countries across europe as well as south africa and the united states it can be retrofitted into older buildings or built directly into new systems. aims to

take the business further. to the next stage is that we want to develop cooperation with companies in countries like india bangladesh with local production companies so that we can start producing our products together with them in those countries where it's. has less cost to produce it so it can also be introduced in these markets at a lower price globally water is becoming ever more scarce recycling waste water is $1.00 potential answer yet the un says 80. scent of it it's released into the environment without adequate treatment the luther water compass springs companies like hydro loop universities and research institutes together hired modeling camp is one of the directors what we do here at water campuses is in fact helping companies celebrate their developments go to the market and that is from one side market the amount but also what is the ideas within the companies themselves and at

the end of the day they should bring their product to the market and work at the water compass is funded in part by the companies developing the products along with the regional government and european commission among all those companies find the expertise to test and develop their ideas and products international concern for the startup it's a process that could normally take decades but here help to speed that up the general picture is more for how can we help being more to campus bringing new sustainable technologies to the market which helps of sanity. with solving the big issues in the world like how do we produce more food do we make sure that senate ation is healthy and that is there is big issues out there which of course we cannot solve all of that is only possible when you set up operations. for the scone

and children water for now has slipped from their minds but that could easily change in the future. if we don't lower our footprint it's an ending story anyway so at some point environment will come back at us we will have trial and probably shortage of food or water and then we get wars that's not what we want to have so don't you need to act. knowing now how to save water could be the key to making sure children like if and her siblings also have a future to look forward to. now merely 700000000 people around the world lack access to see if clean water off and resulting in disses hardship and many a time. live most of the world a major source of portable water getting more and more polluted. a german innovator

has developed a unique device that can turn water from madrid work on a stream directly into drinking water. water directly from the elbe or one of germany's biggest rivers ready for drinking . the secret the water was purified by this little box known as a wave or. the wave as water wheel scoops up the water and directs it into a series of filters clean water can then be pumped into a holding tank on and it's intended for use in small communities that have no power supply for research stations in remote areas or in disaster zones the engineers at inflow tech took that into account in their design. we made a conscious decision to use only standard parts that are available all over the

world with standard sizes if say a pipe is damaged or missing you'll be able to get a replacement whatever you are we designed the whole system that way. one unit can produce up to 2000 liters of safe drinking water a day the system is powered by the river's current. treating river water service suitable for drinking is an unusual step and requires different technology. beautiful many companies use water from wells to purify for drinking purposes that's already been cleaned partly by the sediment but we use the unclean surface water which is more difficult to purify and requires the relevant expertise . you 1st have to analyze the water then assemble the filters according to the results of that analysis in order to produce drinking water. in the company is convinced that the waiver can be used anywhere in the world as it

operates autonomously. if. the waiver uses only the forces of nature we installed a water wheel which harnesses the energy from the river current to power the pump and we use the pressure created by the public to power the system that's it. that's what makes the whole thing different we're not using electricity to power endless filters over. the waiver currently costs around $15000.00 euros. but the company hopes to make it a lot cheaper once it goes into mass production. technology has the power to bring the remotest regions of the world to the helping build reliable infrastructure in the mountains of example. fueling the electricity demands of the people in. the bark of the definition also known as locked up has to be washed and then boiled

in order to make paper from it. one of the tricity came to this area. was finally able to purchase a boiler in shredder today years 10 employees that collect and wash the lock to bark the heavy work is done by machines. to have to boil the locked up uk using firewood. and stamp on it without heat to soften it. the electricity comes from a small hydroelectric power plant the government has been promoting them in this mountain region for years and giving loans to entrepreneurs and farmers so they can buy machines. to the power plant was installed and we got electricity i was in a better position economically. i had lower labor costs so i was able to

make a profit. and i could even save some money. but. the un appoint a mountain range in the himalayas overlooks the village of gun truck which lies at an elevation of 2000 meters this is where poor new groom lives. the area has a lot of water so it makes sense to install hydroelectric power plants which are relatively easy to build and are invite. mentally friendly. government support for the hydro power projects is granted only to villages that agreed to pitch in. 10 years ago big deal bush well carma help to build this power plant today she's the deputy manager. of. the village meanwhile has 9 of these power plants. each with a management board and

a manager. they handle the finances themselves. yet a man with a head is like i am at the moment the plant is self-sustaining. and the fee we get from our customers helps us pay our staff so anna was and it's enough to maintain the plant as well maybe but it's all going to his and the house across a lot of the side and. the electricity from the hydro power plant was also a blessing for shanta maya google who runs a bakery there the mother of 2 can now provide the entire village with bread. so they say no i was the 1st person to open a bakery here. with us for the past 5 years she's been baking bread here her brother works by her side. she's already managed to pay off the mixer in the oven but if something breaks it can get expensive.

tend to move a bit can be difficult if one of the machine stops working then we have to go all the way to poke at us to have it fixed. fortunately she also earns money from her small kiosk which is right next to the bakery local people are her main customers but tourists who come here to go climbing in the on a point of mountains sometimes shop here to. the village of guns roque is home to about 5200 people. the power plants have changed their lives they no cook with electricity and there are 2 telecommunications masts in the village health care has also improved. recently i had dental treatment which was only possible because the medical station has electricity now. without electricity and none of this would exist everyone is making the most of it.

nonetheless about 40 percent of the people in the villages here still don't have electricity. naipaul has been working to renu and expand the electricity grid after a devastating earthquake destroyed much of it 4 years ago hydroelectric power is the linchpin of the government's plan. a lot has changed for paper maker porn or gurung he's even been able to open a shop and poke around the 2nd largest city in a power. this is where he sells his untreated paper as well as products such as diaries and notebooks cards and lampshades. this income made it possible for the widower to raise his 2 children and send them to school his daughter now lives in pokhara and also works in the shop. corner girl room stops by at least once a week he's planning to expand his business. every year you're. locked

out and himalayan nat'l could be processed in the same facility so i'm thinking of expanding and processing nettles to make fabric. that. room has big plans for the future. but he doesn't want to move to the city full time the mountains are his home. what if innovation through technology could be taught to children in school could our next generation be better equipped to solve the unique problems they will face the founders of standard 3 schools on the outskirts of mumbai definitely. determined 3 schools in the sleepy coastal town of about 110 kilometers from mumbai nothing will strike you as ordinary. damage or even initiative that is working with

the marginalised tribal communities in their home who have historically been denied their right to have education you know it would be said living through access to their forests and this is a community that is at the bottom rung of the society for various reasons the school is are not just a school it's an experiment it's a radical or dorner to have to say that education must be about social justice and together along with this group of people we are experimenting with how open source open source technologies can really bring about change into education. the termagant preschool only uses online educational resources that are accessible for free the school computers use open source software that can be obtained free of charge the idea is that high quality educational material and technology should be available to all the approach here is quite a departure from the style of most indian schools.

the lessons are supposed to be fun in an atmosphere that encourages interaction and gives the children plenty of scope to explore subjects by themselves. young students are learning to chord their learning to. program probably has a go order them learning to make small video animation games they're learning to produce things that through the internet the other very important principle in time and trees world is that as we said earlier we are part of the open source movement so every thing on our campus is open. it was about 15 years ago that mumbai the residents michelle job law and human babu moved to the home. since then they have worked closely with the local community in building the school determined not to turn this into a charitable institute the school charges the parents fees ensuring that they stay invested. in the way it's easier for us because

1st generation learners the parents of the students really just have faith they just have trust that ok what do with these guys are doing they must be doing it right because they didn't have an idea. having said that i must say that there are a lot of other parents who have been exposed to let's say the conventional way of let's say computing technology they are exposed to that and they do ask is that. what happens to my child when he grows up learning opensource and when the he or she will go out in the world. how will she be able to cope and we reassure them that look. it's not a big you know ultimately the bones what we are teaching is that once it

was. my dad been plenty of challenges along during the demo than 3 journey has been deeply devoting for the team their years of determined effort have won them recognition the world over. was. for my generation of the eighty's of the ninety's technology has brought about an age that could change in society right in front of all very eyes a lot of this change has moved to mn civilization in the right direction many more people have clean drinking water many more people have a roof over their heads and many more people have enough food to eat when compared to the last 3 decades if you have any thoughts on how technology can be used for good for the good afford to reach out to us on a social media handles we'll see you again next week until then good bye.
