i think i want to face and it's a challenge. 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 pulp is 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 boot rose father after his death she took over the reins she was still only in her mid twenty's and inexperienced that nearest was in that debt situation because

something might be a crisis so led by my local fire it was still in the. like that that's the place and so it was that we couldn't pay. install windows fans. we call it category 5 it's not liquid it was challenging and then but it also set the course of my journey. the young business woman took decisive action. took home loans and invested in modern technology significantly increasing the factories efficiency i'm reducing its impact on the environment. i think will be 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 has 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 up cycling is

that. before i started working here i had a child somewhere else. that's how i can appreciate the difference. because some of the fruits of. the still a long road ahead to achieve completely sustainable production but the boss is confident that she can succeed. with change. but the people are still. that there is how do you think. the onset of the corona virus has also led to changes that down there as 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 lift their harvest billows of smoke since. other chemicals into the atmosphere contributing to the

greenhouse gases wasn't 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 clear that. the acrid smoke 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 their sickles. 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 the c o 2 and creates fine particulate matter that's harmful to people and the

environment. one common 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 i'm going in and out. very hard when i grow rice and. it tasted a long time and after the. saw it. it's very nice that when i come to my hometown i don't share in that life will rise much i find solutions far off learning forests for the entrepreneur rice troy's not waste to be disposed of but a valuable resource. 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 mess which is then cleaned and dried. on the factory floor we meet up again with the farmers from the rice field. this is a very good thing that i salute 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 me 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 india bassam watch off morning and. and they last off the raw material and they contact us and they add their e 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 popeye 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. you are one come one would like to manufacture takeaway food packaging made of rice straw in her own factory she hopes it will become financially feasible that she's especially interested in the research as work on improving the rice starch film say 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 size of the world shouldn't be too large or the customers will think the portions are too small and the price is important one box but peace would be ok. dot uk. one baht is the

equivalent of $0.03. that has a lot of coffee shop concepts about having titusville. high speed light at 40 feet. is moscow. take us past the encourage. the rest of the small restaurants you. could see. in the back in her home village yellow one coming one is visiting her grandparents. and that they yet. this is where she started her business a few years ago. she carried out of 1st experiments with rice straw pulp in her grandmother'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 doc but meanwhile they have ample reason to be proud of her. and as the saying goes the rice farmers of lump of learned 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 would be made to work in leaving the hope sustain the families from one b. 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 please and not get what are you about the realities of life. the pilot of that is not is not just did a read it simulating the mind but it's also very powerful in

a way that it's breaking so many baddiel is that a comedian and kids 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 about dissolve the truly needy there's a danger in. through play at very young ages you can mourn them we keep grieving about why the world is such a bad season is filled with such bad elements and you know 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 you can really change the way this whole world functions.

it became more challenging for us still people about. the power to believe what is right to believe what's meant conveyed being a child to levels all of these things of any. 2 people you know and because in our school many of the problems old stories still have all the keys and the huge 7 and i mean who talk about believing a child is going on we saw it became it becomes even knowledge for us to articulate this but having said that i mean hunger of the mind is even worse if you ask me because it can be a bit of a doctor he says. it's like language and you say you can't see it but it's happening all around us mental health and mental pic very similar people can't see it so if you don't see it you don't think it's

a problem of saturday when in a bad mood you fight with your husband mother father whatever whoever who will you pretty much in a bad mood after the d. just imagine that d. is your life many of these kids and had a back stopped 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 the mention of beings that are people believe in is just full of belief systems so. it wasn't that how lucky for me the allowed me to be you i am as long as i was financially independent. judging came on you when we realize that we don't have any money because you are a nobody finds organization like god. is a very easy. that's the one word god step is what even says so it becomes a game and it becomes very challenging for us. we walk with almost

55000 good davey and unless and until these kids are mentally not. able to understand was right from wrong by themselves. and nothing is going to. that's inspiring i hope to be as the episode has encouraged you to examine your choices when it comes to your belongings and all the clothes you wear on the floor in a chair you bite on leave you with a port and see you next week until then stay safe and good care of yourself and your loved ones goodbye.

stay fit in later life. hello and welcome to in good shape eternal youth we all want it and the search for eternal youth is as old as mankind in the 3rd century a.d. in the times of alexander the great there was a myth called the fountain of youth it was a spring with water where old people went into and came out young refreshed and wrinkle free but i'm sorry to say that nobody yet has discovered the fountain of youth and it's just something like this can you turn back time no you can't but you can do a lot to keep yourself healthy and active over time and it has nothing to do with water in a fight muscles and james no longer cater primarily to young people more and more at least in germany is the over 50 year olds who come to work out. cost down money

is 66 after consulting an orthopedic specialist about his back problems he ended up in the gym. of the sleeping when my lower back needs to be looked after so i have to be disciplined. but i also really enjoy. working out on these machines 7 years ago. he says he's changed a lot since then. i still had the same smile back then but i was 12 kilos heavier so you would have recognized me but i just feel fitter than i did 7 years ago considerably further to the. right to the end that we have people here who have never done any kind of exercise before and now feel in advanced stage do something now to improve their quality of

life. people with artificial joints people who have had operations and want to get stronger. it's important that older people have a health check up and get experts instruction in the gym. goes into every teen is going to the gym 3 times a week and spending at least an hour that. you like to. sometimes. on this earth is limited and i have to make sure that i make the most of it. enjoys most is the full body workout. this is my absolute favorite it's better than the classic exercise machine you use your own body weight here it's the most effective way of stabilizing your body. activates your muscles that you can't reach otherwise. generation i usually less concerned about getting

a 6 pack and ripping biceps i'm more interested in improving the overall fitness just as well as it becomes harder to increase muscle mass from the age of 30 as homan levels begin to drop. but testosterone levels are much higher in young people particularly young men about them and older people think that after a certain age just our strong levels start to drop but that doesn't mean there's no point anymore or that you can't build a muscle and we're going up on. finding motivation can be tough at any age posted in tip top shape for a man in his sixty's what's his advice. getting started is everything and that probably requires the most effort you also need discipline if you think you can come here once and then sit back on the couch you can forget it get started that's the key to it all. on the kids notice. sports and

exercise keep you healthy it strengthens your muscles your cardiovascular system your immune system and your brain function that's how bored do it to find this out you have to take a closer look into your cells and then you will find your fountain of youth it's called telomeres. come exercise keep you young will make you younger an amazing discovery indicates that exercise can indeed halt the aging of cells in our body. to come to the hypothesis that if you start exercising at the age of 50 you can retain the heart and vascular system of a young person into old age and. evidence in favor of this hypothesis indicates that only certain kinds of exercise do the trick for an interdisciplinary team of scientists run an experiment involving $124.00 test subjects divided into 4 groups each pursuing a different exercise regime. the anguish to see what effect exercise house on the

cardiovascular system. blood was taken at regular intervals and the d.n.a. employed cells analyzed there were 3 training programs each pursuing pursuits. months. one group did weight lifting 3 times a week for 45 minutes on 8 different machines. every 6 weeks the whites were adjusted and the training plan reviewed. the 2nd group did endure and straining joking 3 times a week for 45 minutes at a gentle pace maintaining the heart rate of 70 percent of the safe mark simone. the 3rd stays high intensity interval training also a kind of insurance training. 4 minute periods of fast growing alternated with periods of slow work running. in the high intensity fast the aim was to maintain 95

percent of the maximum safe hot writes the idea is that this regime 1st fitness more quickly. and then there was the control group these couch potatoes didn't work a sweat but perceived as 0 exercise regime. none of the participants have been doing any exercise before the experiment. that was important to the before and after comparison was to be meaningful. the key measure of the impact exercise might have on the aging process was the state of the participants tell a mess they can be seen as an indicator of health and sell aging. mentioned we know that people with cardiovascular disease have shorter telomeres than healthy people and the shorter the telomeres the more serious the condition or kong. one example would be advanced alterio sclerosis but we'll talk tell them is.

that repetitive d.n.a. sequences that protect the ends of thread like chromosomes rather like the tips of shoelaces that stop them from ruffling. and many types of sound the telomeres get shorter every time they. well defined. so in general they're shorter in the old than in the young. if they get too short the cell can no longer define until she cannot regenerate this affects our health i'm glad to spawn but there is a certain enzyme that can halt this aging process it can even make telomeres longer again. it's called to long to raise it tends to become less active as people and age but that doesn't have to be the case as was demonstrated in this experiment 2 of the great still a bit surprising results but which ones the run of the white leftists the high intensity interval training as well the control group. this was it was very

surprising and exciting to see that in the endurance training groups to lama raise activity doubled and telomere length grew 2 or 3 percent in certain blood cells there was no change in the control group or weight lifters and i'm going to post here just that was an astounding finding that happened thought that telomeres just got shorter and shorter as we age and with us of late. so the runners and interval training has found a good chance of retaining a useful cardiovascular system if they continue to exercise that is. the experiment didn't look into to the mores activity levels after the training period when the participants did last exercise again. it did however demonstrate how quickly a response to insurance training was in you to smother them and we see that with every round of endurance training to law morays activity is switched on and the activity continues for between 12 and 24 hours there after and it's like an anti aging account every time you do something good you pay em and make yourself fitter

when you do something bad you withdraw from the account. you can start to enjoy and straining at any age it won't make you a mortal but hopefully a 15 feisty seen yet. of course there's more to healthy aging than just long telling me yes and even if you're active and sporty you can get into an accident or get sick and what if you know only when you grow out if there are no more relatives sent no friends this is what medical pete is going to talk about in today's interview. hello today i'm going to talk to dr hans peter thomas he has had physician you know boy force between a 1000000 hello dr thomas hello mr shot your clinic takes care of the elderly what are the main problems your preferred to have to deal with in our hospital we are primarily dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of typical geriatric diseases in the one hand we care for patients who are admitted with infectious

diseases like pneumonia or after the initial treatment of stroke also we care about elderly patients who experienced a fall off with fractures everyone wants to grow or not but nobody wants to be or to the cliff if that were people who get sick for no longer and will live is being really that terrible we're much better than previous generations and i think we've got the ability to keep activity and joy into old age my own for example is 94 years old now and still lives in our hours and still drives a car but the main problem at this age is often being alone friends have often passed away and at some point even the fittest will become frail return to our viewers what a wonderful image of some supported exercise are would you say that physical

activity is the best protection against health problems also in order if it's i think it's the absolute best protection to stay active. when you good old. the efficiency of the body decreases we suffer from limitations and discomfort pain increases aso strength disappears your joints hurt climbing stairs become difficult and there is a fear of falling and that's why we move lest but the good news is exercise works even in the age of 80 plus there are practically no contraindications another problem is depressing what can be do against this impression can be really severe and life altering affecting the quality of life and the happiness and it's also a common condition i think there are some mindful of the ways to avoid depression 1st of all exercising regularly is one of the best things you can do for your

mental health exercise can help in the treatment and prevention of depression in several key ways it releases chemicals like endorphins which can boost mood and besides exercise you should build strong relationships in your life having a strong support system and an active social life is important for all mental health i think reduced rates chronic stress is one of the most avoidable common causes of depression you talk about social contacts. money or people hollow only mum is the solution for this problem it's a very good question when we get old friends have died the children may live in another place so we have to take action and maybe their office in the neighborhood we could use maybe we could join a club. it's great to combine that with a hobby. all let's do volunteer work now also 'd use social

media if you are disabled account walk longer distances a lot with you it was our young us to do what can they do to ensure that the stay fit as long as possible to do what i do enjoy your life especially enjoy exercise don't search for excuses that you're too tired or it's too cold outside leave all these excuses and cultivate your friendships i think that's most important. celebrate together stay together just do it for you very much dr on. w. park. him good shape your weekly health show on d.w. covers many aspects of health care we look at what's new in medical treatment nutrition fitness and beauty. we talk about these topics in
