inspiration in nature to make unique creationists that also has to be about. there's something of the scene in the air these lampshades are made of dried stretched over the wire frames. and fish scales have been worked into the top of this small table. think it might but it doesn't because once it's dry. just look like fish scales london based designer near me use sand for his desert storm lamp red cabbage for the intricate beings of his invention of light and seaweed for the marine light lamp shade. the native israeli has been experimenting with natural materials for years to find some of his materials at the produce market in 2010

year by year he started his design studio in london's trendy soho area he sells his pieces and limited editions to private clients around the world. and. created the arena by. stretching with seaweed over the shades wireframe. being prepared more willing to accept the fact that you can have like lamps or other products made of this kind of material and we think what's happening in this world is making people understand that we need to start using this kind of material instead of artificial material plastics i hope so that these kinds of materials can become something very common as other materials that are not very much benefit to the environment. designers the world over experiment with natural materials berlin designer. uses birch bark familiar from her native siberia for her creations

traditionally the bark's outer layer is harvested once a year this way the trees don't have to be felled and they're left on harm. waste products from industrial soft wood production become raw materials in the hands of latvian designer tomorrow. she turns fruit tree needles into a wildlife fabric to create stools and products. from ukraine draws upon the fabrics of her homeland for her furniture pieces she's been revitalising and interpret in the traditional handicraft technique since 2014. her furniture lines least on this coated place. to stabilize the clay furniture the metal frame as wrapped in organic cellulose and flax that makes the tables and chairs durable and suitable for daily use both inside and out. says to me.

means exhausted and. now did you know that on 60 percent of globally a meaningful threads that come from plastics these colds when washed. but some companies are looking for natural. like this business in indonesia. yarn made from recycled wood and used to make clothes. the idea was michelle shawcross a putra 1st step toward sustainable production protects all company uses tensile type of rail and fiber made of beach or eucalyptus would she even uses it for indonesia's popular but chic textiles which are normally only fashioned from cotton or silk. gown so it's actually showing us more shine which actually intermissions like more information is.

how we can be more sustainable. the wood comes from sustainable forestry to create a fine thread from the hard material is 1st turned into chips. they are then mixed with an organic solvent finally the resulting poll. has turned into long strands of fiber. this requires just a fraction of the 2700 liters of water needed to make a cotton t. shirt. 10 years ago a more sustainable production branch was unthinkable that down there as the textile company in central java was on the brink of collapse the company belonged to michelle chalk such a boutros father after his death she took over the reins she was still only in her mid twenty's and experienced that nearest. that debt situation speak on something might be a crime says so led by my local farmer it was still in the house like

a bat that's the place and so it was that we couldn't pay. install windows fans so we call it category 5 it's not liquid it was challenging and but it also set the course off my journey. young businesswoman took decisive action took on loans and invested in modern technology significantly increasing the factories efficiency i'm reducing its impact on the environment. i think. partly responsible for what happened with you know climate change and all the ways that. at least from my part to help that might be more sustainable. she's also made changes in the companies cutting production all of the material waste is now repurposed being turned into everything from baskets to furniture the upcycling is done by older members of the community as well as disabled people from the region

that enables them to supplement their income. john there are some ploys about $8000.00 workers they work about 40 hours a week get overtime pay and health insurance which is far from standard practice in indonesia. show. wants to motivate people and provide new impetus a businesswoman who takes an active interest in the wellbeing of her stuff including training and career opportunities. 25 year old me has been working here for 7 years she performs quality control. this isn't the company has supported me. they've been really helpful. they finance my studies at university. and the pay here is better than at other similar companies and. before i started working here i had a job somewhere else. that's how i can appreciate the difference.

because i'm the fruit of. the still a long road ahead to achieve completely sustainable production but the boss is confident that she can succeed. change. but the people are still. out there is how we do things the onset of the corona virus has also led to changes that down there the company is now making protective masks from production waste even in a pandemic sustainability remains an important issue. now we turn to pile and when like in india farmers often blow in the lift or was still from the harvest billows of smoke since side and other chemicals into the atmosphere contributing to the greenhouse gases causing climate change but one young woman has had an enterprising idea about how to make that practice go up in

smoke. after every harvest thailand's rice farmers burn off the remaining rice straw and stubble to clip. the acrid. carries far and wide on the wind. in the northern province of lampung the harvest is underway since early in the morning women have been out in the fields cutting the sheaves with that sickles flow. for. there's a lot of straw left on the field typically a kilogram a kilogram of rice if it's left to rot it will release me fame a potent greenhouse gas but burning the straw emits c o 2 and creates fine particulate matter that's harmful to people and the environment. yeah one come one wants to change things after completing her studies

in bangkok she decided to return to her home village and develop an alternative meaning. i mean if we're going to. get patients it's very hard when i grow rice and. it takes a long time and after the. saw it's been it's very nice that when i come to my home town i don't share. rice much i find solutions far off for food for the entrepreneur rice troy's not waste to be disposed of but a valuable resource. oh she pays the farmers the equivalent of $0.03 a kilo. the golden stalks abroad by the truckload to honey or buy factory. here the straw is chopped up because the air is full of fine straw particles

everyone has to wear a facemask. them a small pieces of straw a mixed with hot water no chemicals are added but the mixture has to boil for 4 hours. that produces a pulpy must which is then cleaned and dried. on the factory floor we meet up again with the farmers from the rice field. can you know this is a very good thing that i flew it used to be that we had no work after the rice harvest. but with this factory job i can improve my income whether you want to even go to. the pope is used to make biodegradable paper and packaging but machines to process the pulp are expensive so the entrepreneur exports the raw

material to india we have the customer because. that ason logic off morning and. and the last off the raw material and contact us and they add very interesting you know our product because. our product and the special feature of the table way is a fin coating of rice starch which helps the product resist greased heat and liquids in a 2 hour test with a salad the dish stayed leakproof. the next day she pays a visit to the city of chiang mai the economic and cultural heart of northern thailand. at chiang mai university they also conduct research into rice the auditorium is designed to resemble a grain of rice. here scientists support thai

startups with their expertise. the other one coming one would like to manufacture takeaway food packaging made of rice straw in her own factory she hopes it will become financially feasible but she's especially interested in the research is work on improving the rice starch film so that it takes longer to dissolve. but do people here actually need tableware made of rice straw. as in most cities in thailand life here is largely outdoors the hundreds of street vendors and food stands all use disposable containers. if you want to start up your own production one vendor says and pay attention to the sizes of the rows shouldn't be too large or the customers will think the portions are too small and the price is important one bought a piece would be ok. i am. one but is the equivalent of

$0.03. as a lot of coffee shop costs that somebody's having time to shill these are high street light at 40 feet up it's moscow last to us at the encourage. the response. small restaurants list but what if they could see. the back in her home village of one common one is visiting her grandparents. and that they yet that are. this is where she started her business a few years ago. she carried out of 1st experiments with rice straw pulp and have. my mother's cooking pots. at 1st her grandparents were far from thrilled is this why they had sent my grandchild to study at great expense in the capital. oh no i did your car but meanwhile they have ample reason to be proud of.

and that's the saying goes the rice farmers of lum punk have loved how to turn straw into gold. because burning it would be a terrible waste. now millions of children are employed in the textile sector in india this is just one of the many sick with the means to work in legally to help sustain their families from one to the next among profit organization in mumbai is making sure some of the city's poorest children have the right and the chance to play and not get what are you about the realities of life. the palette of that is not is not just did a simulating a mind but it's also very powerful in a way that it's breaking so many baddiel is that. and kids that are allowed to be

kings again just plain simple enjoy their childhood. i just believe that working with these kids and you know what they. it truly needed it's not dissolved the truly needed this again shin. through a very young ages you likely can mourn them we keep dreaming about why the world is such a bad season is filled with such bad elements in it a why is somebody a criminal and all of that in this world but if you trace it back it always goes back to their childhood. with kindness and love and empathy i think we can relieve the change the way this whole world functions. but.

it became more challenging for us still people about. the power of the what is right to play what's meant to evade being a child levels all of these things are very you concepts to people you know and because it has for many other problems all solace stickball the keys had a huge leaven i mean who would talk about believe in a child is going on the saw it became it becomes even now for us to articulate this but having said that i mean hunger of the mind is even worse if you ask me because i can be a good a doctor he says. climate change or you can't see it but it's happening all around us mental health and mental well being is very similar people can't see it so if you don't see it you don't think it's a problem suddenly one in a bad mood you fight with your husband mother or father whatever whatever and all

you pretty much in a bad mood the rest of the d. just imagine that day is your life many of these kids have had a back stop to life and it just goes on for the rest of their lives. and then you bellow in my life and. i don't believe in conventional beings that are people believe it is just full of belief systems soul it wasn't that hard lucky for me they allowed me to be you i am as long as i was financially independent. game on you when you realize that you don't have any money because you are only broke nobody finds all the new pieces like gods. is a very easy. that's the one word god step is what even dauntlessly says so it becomes a game and it becomes very challenging for us. we walk with almost 55000 kids every day and unless and until these kids are mentally nitish to understand

was right from wrong by themselves. and nothing is going to teach you. know. that's inspiring isn't it i hope today's episode has encouraged you to examine your choices when it comes to all those little belongings of all the clothes you whittle on the floor in a chair you bite on leave you without pause and see you next week until then stand safe and be a good care of yourself and your loved ones go by. in
