it's up to us to protect our climate and the environment that we live in to invest in and value and environmentally friendly company in a country like india is very hot but what if a company could actually make profits by protecting the environment it is possible let's see how. the public see in the countryside. and western affluence and the capital yerevan armenia is a country marked by stark contrast. awareness and knowledge are keen. and till $9091.00 armenia was a part of the former soviet union after the collapse of communism the country fell into an economic crisis and still hasn't fully recovered small and mid-sized companies struggle so environmental protection has to yield profits. is still a serious 2014 the new waste water recycling unit. it has saved us over 100000

euros that all. companies here have rarely put much thought into environmentally friendly production but things are starting to change. your calls michael kroger so if we reorganize our production successfully then it also makes good business sense for good. armenia's economy is largely dominated by agriculture cereals fruit and vegetables other main crops like here at the 1st of mt ararat with some 3000 hours of sunshine a year peaches apricot some plums grow in abundance. parker honker. this fruit found i turned his harvests into giant fruit he switched to organic production and no longer uses chemical fertilizers and pesticides. that go to the local environmental n.g.o.s help to make the switch financial

support comes from the international climate initiative the organization advises companies about sustainable practices. the fruit farmers ovens and now solar powered and have more efficient ventilation the fruit drying process is now 5 times faster saving energy and cost. are just on the move. production in armenia and our region isn't big enough to compete with neighboring countries such as iran or turkey since armenia is a small country that needs competitive products fruits and dried fruits or among those products for that are the dried fruit now has an e.u. organic certification and these days also sells and fronts he their role models would without any of the alt it's also about the person when he starts some. think

that cleans the cooling water after the charging process so it can be recycled. meanwhile in this bakery left over pastry is no longer simply thrown away. it's turned into biscuits. sometimes the solutions are simple any bread that isn't sold is turned into bread crumbs another of the ngos ideas and the bread crumbs have proved a bestseller. to produce anything in your book is often too expensive that's why a lot of local producers on the pressure it's especially hard for small farmers who produce as cheap as their competitors abroad for example shepherds in germany.

unable to sell the sheep and this unsold boy is often and what a waste that is a caring exactly that and is now turning things about. a flock of sheep blazing in the shade. the 1st lambs of the year have arrived and so shepherd florian pi's has brought his animals to rest in a green patch between warehouses and factories in the industrial ruhr area in western germany. normally he keeps his flock on the move he's one of the few shepherds left in the country. there are around a 1000 professional shepherds left in germany that's not so many really i don't know many young people who want to do this job i'll continue to do it with passion until i have to step down it's certainly a dying profession that nobody wants to do you don't make much money you just don't get rich doing it. the sheep are eventually sold for their meat but

eunice apologies also pay shepherds to have their flocks graze on public land. but wool has become a losing business these days sales don't even cover the costs of having the sheep sheared so that some uniform merino wool. is mitt romney and i have merino sheep because they still have the best quality wool i get over a euro per kilo. one colleagues of mine who have other breeds get a lot less they get $45.00 to $0.65 per kilo. if some of them don't sell it anymore choosing to burn the roll or toss it instead margaret would have. his wool goes to china where it's processed and ends up in bedding upholstery carpets and other textile products some of these
