textile company in central java was on the brink of collapse the company belong 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. that debt situation because of the 98 crisis so led by my local fire it was still in the house like a bat that's the place and so it means that we couldn't pay. install windows fans we call it category 5 winds in smoke liquid it was challenging and but it also set the course off my journey. young businesswoman took decisive action. it took on loans and invested in modern technology significantly increasing the factories efficiency reducing its impact on the environment. i think.

partly responsible for what happened with. climate change and all the ways that. at least from my part how can i be more sustainable. she has also made changes in the company's cutting production all of the material waste is now repurposed being turned into everything from baskets to furniture up cycling is done by older members of the community as well as disabled people from the region that enables them to supplement their income. there are some ploys about $8000.00 workers they work about 40 hours a week get overtime pay on health insurance which is far from standard practice in indonesia. 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 is news and the company has

a pandemic sustainability remains an important issue. now we turn to pile and when like an india farm was often the lift from the harvests billows of smoke since. the 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 their land. the acrid smoke carries far and wide on the wind. in the northern province of 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 a 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 and i don't. get patients very hard when i grow rice and. it tasted a long time and after the. thought you. it's very nice that when i come to my hometown i don't share that lie based you will rise much i find solutions far off learning for fun for the entrepreneur rice troy's not waste to be disposed of

but a valuable resource. she pays the farm most the equivalent of $0.03 a kilo. the golden stalks abroad by the truckload to honey or by factory. here destroys chopped up because the air is full of fine straw particles everyone has to wear a face mask. then the 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.

use disposable containers. if you want to start up your own production one vendor says and pay attention to the size of the rolls shouldn't be too large or the customers will think the portions are too small and the price is important one baht per piece would be ok. that up to one baht is the equivalent of $0.03. gas a lot of coffee shop concepts about being able to still use our high speed light at 40 feet up this mosque wrong in the past to us at the encourage. the rest. of us. list but what if they could see. 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 a 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 sectors where they're meant to work immediately to help sustain their families from one day to the mixed 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 to get what are you about the realities of life. the palette of it 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 a comedian and kids are allowed to be kids again just plain simple enjoy good childhood. i just believe that working with these kids and you know what they. it truly needed it's not about dissolved it to need it is again sharon. through play a 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 we can really change the way this whole world functions. it became more challenging for us still people about. the power to be what is right to play what's meant give a being a child to levels all of these things of any concepts to people you know and because in our school many of the problems old school is still all the keys and a huge lever then i mean we'll talk about the even a child is going on we saw it became it becomes even ol lady challenging for us to articulate this but having said that i mean of the mind is even worse if you ask me
