flames that ensued forests and entire residential areas. rising temperatures water shortages land clearance there's an abundance of my mobile material once again to. some. local culture the world on fire starts on august 12th on g.w. . our everyday life has so many beautiful things we probably because they make sure that we can all about our lives seamlessly from one thoughts to the other it could be a coffee cup or a stapler or a paper towel every day going to the moment

a pink about how environmentally friendly these things are if not to these episodes will help with pink about that because after all a small change just what every big habits will have a big effect on the in bondage we did it alone welcome to equal india. coming to you from my home intrigued by plastic at bay for a sucker ubiquitous spotify life we now know that 8000000 tonnes of plastic makes it into the ocean. and that green guilt often pushes us towards using people but results suggest of the making of people bad for example results in 50 times more water pollutants than a plastic bag a mumbai based company is experimented with the sustainable or don't have to for the wrong one it's used in other beauty products. that move grows wild in india and its large plantations also make it the world's

2nd largest producer. yet it accounts for only 4 percent of global bamboo trade. a national ban the mission has been set up to promote growth in the sector. one aim is to contribute to a more eco friendly economy and another is to promote economic growth and enhance farmers' incomes. or. in urban india some startups are attempting to bring bamboo into the mainstream as a raw material for a range of household products. the 3 founders who don't be equal in mumbai spent a year and a half 1st doing research and developing this. it began when they were appalled by the amount of plastic trash in the city one of the sundays read i was

a father to my brother. which looked quite fresh and. i looked into it and if according to you going to ask my father what have you seen this before and he said it's actually over chocolate which was discontinued in the 1990 s. so the fact that the sets away for so long the initial cause. plastic and people are still the main materials used in india is packaging industry despite the known negative impacts on the environment. plastic pollution is a massive problem as one can see on streets and beaches across the country. less than a quarter of solid wish generated in india is formally collected and processed. the big industry also contributes to large scale deforestation. it's estimated that as much as a thought of india's land is degraded. the soil urgently needs plants that will help restore it and this is where bamboo could be an important rule. the productive

100 percent green product. manufacturing is completely green that is nor sense of. substance that is used in the environment. close to 9000000 people in india depend on bamboo for some part of their livelihood. like these women who used to build their oyster farm. if mahmood that is growing domestically is sold and used within the country then its carbon footprint could be kept considerably. in 2018 the government provided $2000000.00 to the bamboo industry to help it grow . the farm a store in mumbai is sells organic and fairly sourced product as awareness of the

issues grow so does demand definitely there is an increased. use of green up products yes the problem is a little bit about the price but i think people need to understand that it is better and better for. the health of the plant. sales i'd be cool have risen by 20 percent in decent months. its founders hope that more initiatives like this will find support and acceptance. that it always has to be a co-operative or environment special you know country like india where we feel that companies as well as individuals as well as the government have. to bring about change. so slow clearly and ethically bamboo could carve a much bigger nice for itself in a carbon neutral future. a

modern society is geared for more and more. consumption patterns result of decades of conditioning that sustainability charts well that's what. this concept of behavioral economics this is the right incentives that lead consumers to make certain decisions let's take a look at some examples of the life. form you know you work through here and then you have to turn towards it would be better if you could walk straight to it. and it should be at an angle. is advised in the manager of this supermarket in berlin on ways to draw shoppers attention to regional organic products. this is a bit better so you come along here and see it immediately and now if we just had something like. something from brandenburg from the countryside perhaps

a piece of wood. or. the manager is not convinced mathias still wants to try out various things regional organic products also tend to be more eco friendly europeans buy lots of imported goods bananas coffee chocolate with a much larger c o 2 footprint. many people know that regional products are more sustainable but that doesn't necessarily lead to a change in the way they shop. wants to suddenly encourage consumers to think twice the approach she deploys is known as nudging. basically it's about positioning products in a way that people will be more likely to pick them up. who studied social sciences wrote the 1st academic paper in germany. could it be considered manipulation. of the set if that's a charge that one often hears but the difference between nudging and manipulation

is that nudging is used for positive purposes because if he would. take meat consumption for example in ecological terms it's much too high what kind of notes might make a difference here placing vegetarian sausages right next to meeting ones. people who are already environmentally conscious go looking for products that are organic and regional and they'll buy them anyway nudging is meant to reach those who don't pay attention to those kinds of things. now shoppers here will come face to face with vegetarian alternatives to meet this is an easy nudge it's evidently hard to redirect attention to an entire display is looking for some good props and if you're going to have those i'd like it to be larger more i catching so you get the message at once organic and regional. they explore the store room but don't find anything particularly appealing to use as decoration. talk

about what else could we do. these are heads out doors to scavenge branches will certainly evoke nature even in a supermarket he says there are many ways to know it's people to act in a more eco friendly way. so much fear for example if you could see how much water you use when you take a shower and how many daily rations of water that amounts to 4 people affected by drought it would be pretty shocking but i know that's an extreme example but the idea is to grab your attention and make you think about doing things differently. chris has come up with another way to nab shoppers at the supermarket to consider eco friendly products. for 4 hours of birdsong. this doesn't have an immediate effect the customers just walk by. koreans are knows

all too well that a good know is not something you can pull out of thin air. in many parts of the world the pandemic has made the supply of water more difficult this is the spotlight moment for local food networks a pot of gold hopes biggest urban farm opened in badness free simply it may not completely replace traditional aquaculture but it could prove to be an important step for what sustainable living in metropolis. this rooftop in the south of paris will harm by europe's biggest urban farm the aim is to bring about a new era of increased sustainable agriculture and the covert $1000.00 crisis has even more made the case for such a model. now. in our project incarnates what we in france call the world of tomorrow it stands for urban

resilience new kind of city with more solidarity and proximity and local food networks of high quality. you know. the plants are attached to vertical pillars or held in horizontal contain as a 3rd of the farmers opening now with the whole project launching in 2022 half of the 400000 euros for the project were raised in a crowdfunding campaign. we are using so called hydroponics and hour upon its methods they are based on a closed circuit where water and nutrients are being channeled to the plants that allows us to use 90 percent less water than in traditional agriculture but this expert says that even during biggest urban farm has its limits like a creature urban farms were never be able to feel it in the city we always also traditional agriculture and yet the developers say the urban farm has another

function apart from just producing fruits and vegetables such as strawberries and salad for sale parisians can rent $135.00 little vegetable patches for $320.00 euros a year. many people in big cities don't have access to vegetable patches here at night then they can reconnect with earth and literally go back to the roots dr levy. for now the developers only farming on french troops but success here could take the model beyond france. flowers bring color and freshness and while lives in the us flower was offered to the gods as all of us but with a deep they're often discarded by the temple authorities as we assist and end up in rivers polluting them because of the pesticides they carry a couple based company to lets these discarded flowers. incense sticks.

or incense sticks have always been an intrinsic part of religious functions in india. their swelling smoke rings emblematic of hope spreads and deference. but these are guy but he's made right here on the banks of the river ganges a perhaps small special. they recycled from the waste of flowers offered it temples every morning as they burn to the ground they take a substantial portion of potential river pollutants with them.

tried this very place and user goes generally when 15 obvious are going on there's a chick friend who had come to visit me in concord and we started talking wise the warden. spoke about. issues because of the company. that barely be spoke about the c.v. and so on and then we saw a lot of people coming in and throwing the religious wisdom and then there was a small boy from one nearby village came and dumped all the flowers that was the point i realized. no one has ever done anything. in a pitch that lead both. and karen can call residents who grew up in this town along the ganges to develop an idea that is today a successful and sustainable business model. help us green works towards upcycling temple waste going by conservative estimates about

$8000000.00 tons of flowers a dumped into the river every year. flowers are thought to be completely biodegradable but the sheer volume combined with pesticides and insecticides leads to toxic waters one of the primary causes of hepatitis cholera and diarrhea. africa traffic of the floods from that embers in the converse of that there are people grubs which have a different route your. time is less. than the ones that brought in their read and then they're distributed to different women now then they have. the thread the blackboard and then these women.

and the 1st child sticks in india. chemicals like also a can lead a removed during the process. we've been able to fly more than 7000 pounds over and that means that we've been able to save 7 big. science from getting it to go to work this. through. help us green currently employs about 79 workers predominantly women from marginalized communities many of whom used to work as scavengers. who am i going with them now and working here everyone appreciates my work and efforts earlier because of the work i was doing no one respected me no one ever

wanted to drop in at my home. but now everyone comes over whether i'm home or not i always have guests over. carrier stogie and kit i got a while and now determine to extend the flower cycle entrepreneurship model to other industries facilitating the employment of 5000 people by the year 2022. my hope and dream is that i start this this facility at every corner of the city and the country so that nothing goes we provide more and more than burma to you and make a circle. around them it's a big what i. avoiding plastic in everyday life is not easy the plastic food a kitchen essentially it's hygenic and keeps food fish but of course this used

plastic ends up in the garbage bin and can only be recycled with great difficulty if at all a job and start up has now developed a force to both fill and innovative idea that's waiting to be implemented on the largest. packaging that decomposes after it's used. it disappears without causing any damage to the environment. researchers and designers around the world are trying to realize this vision. among them a product designers katia and spend save as. the trigger for that work is the amount of trash that they themselves produce. when. the couple have long been aware of the issue. but despite their best efforts they're aware that avoiding packaging

altogether is still extremely tricky. 515 yeah about 15 years ago we were standing in our pantry wondering why a 3 person household generates a bag full of plastic waste each week exact. conditions and that even though we're very careful this is from everyday food items cooked meats cheese coffee and tea it all has to be packaged as a part of the xavier started producing compatible film impacts made from cellulose from what twice which decomposed when they come into contact with bacteria in the soil in france italy and switzerland you can put them in the organic waste bin. indicted and in germany this is impossible at the moment we're working to provide evidence that our film decomposes brilliantly in industrial composting facilities and together with waste management companies we also striving to find a solution to the problem of how these materials community in sorting plants so

that they can be turned into compost in germany to. another challenge is coming up with packaging that seals in a roma spend save as has been working on a multi-layered composite of all coffee packets just like a plastic packet coated without a minyan it protects the right and keeps the coffee from going stale. well you know . every foodstuff comes with its own challenges not serfaty cheeses bioactive carving is a roma sensitive so every product has its own characteristics and they have to be tested i can't make any assumptions that's the challenge but the savers have already won over many customers for their single layer cellulose foam for example vegetable supply is like sun mom where possible the organic farm packs it swears in open crates the heads of lettuce and other salad greens will to if they aren't covered monica's sandman switch to bags made of can possible film as the german

waste disposal system doesn't cater for them some mom has come up with an interim solution. that customers can definitely return these bags to us and we'll compost them not all of our customers have compost heaps or a composting bin but they can bring them back to us compost wanted us to have some sort of. vegetable delivery firm would also like to avoid using conventional plastic for their potted herbst but because the thin film used for the leafy greens would come into contact with soil in the pots it would start decomposing too quickly causing it to rip too easily. xavier's have developed a new film for the application it takes twice as long to come past due the new film decomposes in $12.00 to $15.00 weeks in industrial facilities in natural conditions it takes longer to break down than the original cellulose film so it can come into

contact with soil or moisture we can package plants with it without it breaking down straight away. avoiding packaging altogether is unrealistic in today's global food industry but there are more and more alternatives to conventional petroleum based plastic film and bags. electronic devices all around us today often extensions of. what a lot of these products die to and end up in the garbage bin back afy in berlin wants to convince consumers to repair things instead of dumping them. i repair cafe in the middle of perlin laura got on z has brought a broken waffle iron and wants to repair it volunteer michelle fish might be able to help he's a hardware developer and skilled at repairing electronic devices. mr new is one ohm is the electrical resistance when you apply one volt one amp throws

now you will ask what's a volt i know what have pulled this good and small batteries have 1.5 volts the more volts the more it hurts. for some reason it doesn't work anymore one time i had it switched on for quite a long time about a half an hour and then all of a sudden it was broken. the 1st repair café was opened in the netherlands in 2009 the idea is simple you can bring broken electrical devices even clothes and furniture and on site volunteers will help you fix them the most important thing donations are appreciated but the help is for free. it's an idea at the very least to go to gosh immediately fell in love with she's a villain based artist this is her studio where she hosted villains 1st repair café . then rip it up and released back to their. more like it's a whole new. you know.

both use like with themes like the. more and more. like the social angry 3 create tricks so that we buy more stuff and then pick up a something where you can do something against. in most western societies professional repair shops are expensive that's why many people tend to throw away broken items and buy new products instead rather than get them fixed this results in a massive amount of waste some 1200000 tons of electric devices are thrown away in germany every year like at this recycling center in berlin a lot of trash could be actually fixed quite easily. a lot of people invest in foot ok now with them we have property with a police try in something that at least trying to make

a base cycle of these objects longer will use them on their own like me if you use less resources to most and. at least gosh is convinced that repair cafés have huge potential she's even considering teaming up with the 3 d. printing movement then the volunteers could print plastic parts needed for repairing broken devices she says half of the broken electrical devices that people bring to the repair cafés are repaired successfully 1st in oregon on z. have figured out what's wrong with the waffle iron a fuse has to be replaced nora will have to buy a new one and come back some of the day and then chances are they'll be able to bring her waffle line back to life many of us want to know how to make sustainable choices but he may not always know where to start i hope to be accepted as to dig deeper into the we're told to available to you in your neighborhood you know city
