i have money to my city these days for centuries the company my country towards mine was until the day i mean you've done. nothing done to. stunts and cool and on. the. constant change has defined mankind's journey showed that we've moved from an agricultural society to an industrial society and to be the addicts knology powered suicide to technology has pushed us to become empowered and find solutions beyond what we thought was possible and what does this change mean for the planet that's what we'll dig deeper into today hello welcome to eco india i'm son looked at our group

coming to you from mumbai. is one of the largest slums of the world us and highlighted boiled over for its poor living conditions and made popular by the oscar winning film slumdog millionaire but the look i look at is a hub of small scale industrious 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 is beyond a joke graffiti. the hobby is a means of finding. its 2nd largest governing to square kilometer and the situated only a few minutes from mumbai supply manchu district it is also mumbai is largest manufacturing center that of a. he is

a hive of activity here porters with roots in the state of gujarat world and live alongside the zuhdi embroiders from what i've read the government makers and plastic recyclers crossed paths with metalsmiths capital makers and banners in all there are more than 10000 skilled craftsmen here. it was this energy that drew entrepreneur. 80 years ago this is a very close knit and if you give them a cause the ability and access to grow the one country will grow. group does idea was to raise the heart of the market out of relative obscurity by setting up an online marketplace bred autism's can advertise their workshops and products now they can reach clients far beyond the potential is huge as part of these workshops sell goods worth over $60000000000.00 rupees or about $800000000.00 euros each year. every little need is

like a mini factory where you have. different world shops producing different things and its source says selfish. because they're not educated the oysters are not poured i believe by peeking by a launching a website for them and. putting their products and their will online 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 send 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's wished from animal hides to plant. 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 hope to be this eco friendly material 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 uploaded to the website at the beginning make 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 buy this see 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 1st came 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 is now cooperating with textile companies here the idea is to turn the scraps of fabric that accumulate in the heart of every day into new products. the brand is called which stands for 0 waste and it's spelled with. its pears they're all sort of we've included the word he to win it because we believe out that 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 do we have signed up to make a passport and it's of in when d.d. has a much larger him to enhance the held ancestor animal development of the entire community . in

a way 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 ingredient of life will exceed supply. by 40 percent by 2030 in the netherlands companies are coming up with interesting solutions to conserve and reuse what to. do for these children who water is a basic right that here in the netherlands comes easily from the top. like a yacht. 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 cycle to water to use. the only thing is that we do it. just to get. our life so as much possible for saving water with a machine and the average family of 4 in the netherlands uses up to 191000 liters of water per year hydro loupe says its clients use around 45 percent less. margin 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 oh 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 harms way swore tourists treated and then returned to the rivers and oceans but treatment takes a lot of energy and water is also lost along the way. after full keesler designed the hydra loop a decentralized 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 we remove

all soap and hair and sentencing like that we disinfected so it's safe and then you can reuse it again for your washing machine to 1st the toilets and for your garden . the water can only be recycled once and it can't be used for drinking. only the light 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 are you run out of recycled water you are now using mains water hi julie prices started around $3300.00 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 for keys or 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 this. 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 is released into the environment without adequate treatment the loofah water compass springs companies like hydro loop universities and research institutes together mulling camp is one of the directors what we do here and what a compass is is in fact helping companies celebrate their developments go to the market and that is from onsite market demand 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 campus is funded in part by the companies developing the products along with the regional government and european commission among others companies find the expertise to test and develop their ideas and products in international concern for the startup it's a process that could normally take decades but here are help to speed that up the general picture is more for how can we help. being more tech campus bringing new sustainable technologies to the market which helps our side he. with solving the big issues in the world like how do we produce more food do we make sure that senator ation is healthy and that is there's big issues out there which of course we cannot solve alone that is only possible when you set of 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 footprints it's an ending story anyway so at some point environment will come back at us and 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 then you need to act. knowing now how to save water could be the key to making sure children like eve 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 indices hardship and linear time. reversed around the world a major source of portable water getting more and more polluted. a german you know rita 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 cyrix it into a series of filters clean water can then be pumped to a holding tank on land 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 that 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 wherever 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 rivers current. treating river water service suitable for drinking is an unusual step and requires different technology. 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. 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 or valves. 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 of regions of the world to the helping build reliable infrastructure in the mountains of example. fuelling 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 treasure 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 oc using firewood. and stamp on it without feet 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 and 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. when. 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. and mentally friendly. government support for the hydro power projects is granted only to villages that agreed to pitch in. 10 years ago b d a bitch well carma helped 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 if the amount of the 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 neighborhoods are going to has and the has also got to saigon and. the electricity from the hydro power plant was also a blessing for shanta maya guru 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. 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. to move them

to move it can be difficult if one of the machine stops working on it then we have to go all the way to pick up to have it fixed. fortunately she also earns money from her small kiosk yes which is right next to the bakery the 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 now 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. has been working to remind you 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 porter 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 widow work 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. and

himalayan nat'l could be processed in the same facility so i'm thinking of expanding 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 salsa unique problems to the founders of standard 3 schools on the outskirts of mumbai definitely. determined street school in the sleepy coastal town of about a 110 kilometers from mumbai nothing will strike you as organ. damage or even initiative but is working with the marginalised tribal communities

in the high low who have historically been denied their right to health education you know do a decent living to 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 gave 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 to. the terminal 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. in. 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 as they go order them learning to make small video animation games their low knew to produce things that through the internet the other very important principle in time or in 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 residents mashallah 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 these are

1st generation learning so the parents of the students really just have faith they just have trust that ok whatever this 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 the concept.

my dad been plenty of challenges along during the demo than 3 journey has been deeply into voting for the team their years of determined effort have won them recognition the world over. oh god. for my generation to love the eighty's of the ninety's technology has brought about a good change in society right in front of all very eyes a lot of this change has moved to one civilization in the right direction many more people have clean drinking water many more people have a roof over their heads and many 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.

with. the momentum of the morning world. made in. germany. 30 minutes w. .

i'm secure that of my work that's hard and in the end it's a me you're not allowed to stay here anymore we will send you back. are you familiar with this. with the smugglers would lie and say. what's your story ready. i mean when i was a women especially in victims of violence. take part and send us your story we are trying always to understand this new culture. not a visitor not a guest you want to become a citizen. in for migrants your platform for reliable information.

ringback every day counts for us and for our planet. the ideas is on its way to bring you more conservation. how do we make cities screener how can we protect animals and their habitats and what to do with the racist. we can make a difference by choosing reforestation over the forced recycling or disposable

smart solution oberstein said. earth is truly unique and we know that uniqueness is what allows us to live and survive good why do you assume to be a monumental soon to global 3000 on d w i'm going to. look closely. carefully. because soon. to begin to. actually. discover. the flame. subscribe to the documentary to.

play. play play play. this is news coming to you live from berlin as the global number of coronavirus cases passes 200000 new to you travel restrictions mean long delays at the border crossing. the feds who wait in their vehicles for more than 24 hours airport staff and m.p.'s airlines or the world council flight also coming up at 9 i collapse on the sofa i sleep but not well because i'm waking up every hour with 9. we visit an intensive care unit it's baffling to save lives.
