and set you up, today's we'll have more weld is at the top of the hour and around the clock, of course, on the, at the dw article on the website, the w dot 3 o. in modern life, we're always on the move, whether they're getting around or shipping goods across the to a modes of transportation, a convenient, but they're damaging the environment. how can we make mobility more sustainable? that's what we've talk about today. hello and welcome to eco india. i'm some of that a rick shows have been around since the late 1800 and are largely accepted

. i've been in mention of japan only hadn't drawn pictures be the way for cycled week shows. and later, the more devised worship autos as the cold here in india, on a primary mode of no contract petition for many indians. but the heavy app and you just even sure can help solve this problem and address others to ah, philip m m bertha le begging her when i drive, i feel a sense of freedom. i don't like being cooped up in a house. had mit anywhere like on the m it in that i used to think women should stay at home, had made a oh, now i can't stay indoors for a single day. begging i am full bodied anna. can i make the only read that they're being self employed? afford letter being that freedom. 3 years ago, she was working 12 hour shifts in

a storm corey and learning a bit. and now she has her own electric picture that she has her own boss. this a deal for a our garage formerly known as alabama, is located at the confluence of the ganges and the yamuna river in the northern state of what i believe it's home to some one and a half 1000000 people. little beans, life changed when a social enterprise helped her to become financially independent. since 2015, the company s m. v green solutions has reached out to people who are marginalized due to their gender cost or class. it offers to turn them into green entrepreneurs as either cash or owners and drivers. jamara hand. glad my bagel was finance. so i didn't have to make the down payment myself, ma'am, if we could pay the loan back at our own convenience he does in installments of

disappears 2000 or will be still 1500 down my name again. that way i paid back the loan in 4 months. it would be 15000 in daughter, but i mean until at 1 o'clock, if that's equivalent of 200 euros. now lily davina is one of them, $130.00 female iraq shar, drivers and author british, who also on their vehicles. me direct shows provided by the social enterprise, come brief entered with cameras and gps tracking systems that are connected to local police stations. operating in 5 cities and know what 10 villages across the state, the taxi service also affords greater freedom to the women who use it. use . it is customary that women will not move out to a market or to a hospital without a male member accompanying. now they are comfortable sending the women with the

women. i was meant that joseph or when to see a woman driver, we also feel better about struggling alone. the need for compact green quick transport options has never been more pressing in prey garage for example, about 80 percent of all commercial vehicles are diesel rickshaws. about 2 thirds of air pollution related debts in india are associated with diesel vehicles. you can help counter that public provider, they have many advantages. they never refuse to take passengers and eating shows cause no pollution at all. that's not completely true. electric richard like little beans, have vito emissions keeping cities cleanup, but the battery production process m. it's greenhouse gases, and an india 70 percent of the energy required to reach out to leakers comes from

cold. still there clearly a step in the right direction. every helix or able to save boom metric tons of carbon. but it has a mason, which is, you know, done by its competitive products like i see in the diesel and patrol. ok. and if you see with how customer base alone with 2500 people, we are having more than 5000 metric tons of carbon buddy. eating shows make up less than 10 percent of india auto industry, but s m b green solutions is optimistic. it has more than 2 and a half pounds in your chair, drive those across with their buddies, and possibly har acquired vehicle ownership. the customers have a good return. second, the legal requirements are less so most of the 6 all got permit free power. many states are now banning new registry offense and permit for the diesel and patrol

or toes in the city. yet for the time being only a few chan drive was switching from petrol or diesel vehicles to electric, one habit, and also people walk appear to be the main reasons for their reluctance. what is happening, introduced on market is there are fleet margins who have a fleet of 10 to 50. 200 exploits are told i am talking about when i reckon and then paid to the people on delhi high the little bit. it's very hard for us all for a customer or above them from a my lease community to deal with the with the stakeholders in the system. so dealing with the vehicle manufacturer, the dealing with the department dealing with the insurance company from facilitating bank loans and insurance to helping with paperwork with the

regional transport office and also offering smart battery swap system. the social enterprise is trying to make it as attractive, uneasy as possible to become an easy chair driver. loaded the bean and husband, my haynes ra, a modern cup. they have a 4 year old son and shed a child taking it and turns to go to work. my hands also dies in either shop on a living. he's always supported his wife in her work. but in my, when assembly green solutions told me that women were driving, eating shows these days, and i checked with my husband. he said, yes indeed they were. and he asked me if i was interested in learning and that he would help me. but only if i wanted to, i told him to instantly, yes, i want to dr. young with atlanta, most of the was good on transported by a big ship with the,

with 70 percent of them as contain arrived goggle by the international shipping. industrial produce is as much carbon dioxide each year as a big industrial country like germany. our reporter done deeper into why shipping remains are go to ward, to transport goods between countries. take a look at your standard t shirt. where does it come from? the label says made in turkey or mexico or bangladesh, but that's only part of its havoc journey. the cotton probably comes from lubbock, texas. it's then woven, treated breached and died across the ocean in china, cut in stone into a t shirt and bangladesh sent back to the u. s. a couple of clicks later. it's traveling across another ocean, say to berlin, where it sold for, for euros. 99, it sounds like madness, but it's actually shipping. shipping is so cheap that some aspects seem absurd.

so for example, it rains 247 in belgium. yes, we buy our water is bottled in south pacific fish gets caught in the north sea. it then goes frozen to asia, where it split it and it said back, but there is a hidden cost to these curiosities. the full price of shipping is being paid by the environment and in relative terms. shipping is very efficient, transporting one ton of cargo em. it's 16 grams of c o 2 per kilometer. it's over 10 times that by road and by air, it's a lot more. but in absolute terms, it's an absolute nightmare. is she a distance? is that mean that this a mission stack up and become a problem? lucy gillian works for sees at risk and association of n g o's working to protect the oceans.

$0.80, it ships abounding heavy fuel. no riches. i really think viscous policing feel it's kind of, it's one step away from tom. and he day the industry emits as much as all the coal plants in the us and just a bit less than aviation. but somehow shipping escape scrutiny. shipping is the only sector that doesn't pay for carbon pollution. find a bass off leads the shipping program at transport, an environment and enjo campaigning for cleaner transport. it's the only sector that doesn't pay taxes on the fossil fuels uses. it doesn't pay v. recently global leaders, they agreed to impose 15 percent global minimum corporate taxation rate that was on one second. that was exec shipping. but how can that be given the scale ships handle some 90 percent of global trade?

then there's a strange little enigma. imagine something going wrong on a japanese built american owned tanker. sailed by a philippine cru managed by a cypriot sailing from china to canada. can international waters. who do you blame? well, maybe panama, panama, marshall islands, liberia, bahamas malta. this 5 countries, which you don't really hear on our, on the databases, right? they're not really big powers in the global politics or even economics. they are the king makers when it comes to shipping. that's because of a system called flag of convenience. the practice began during the prohibition era selling alcohol in the usa was illegal, so passenger ship owners began registering their ships in panama, so they could serve drinks on board. the international maritime organization is the only body that can set policy for the entire sector. it's a un agency task with,

among other things, fighting climate change, but as done the opposite. there are multiple reasons. first of all, at the imo members, states are normally represented by the ministries of transport. they want to promote shipping aviation and so on and so forth. climate, the environmental challenges that has not been traditionally speaking their domain, that the domain of the climate ministry or environment minister. so this is kind of structural problem and policies are rarely put to vote. the i m o prefers to rule by consensus, which gives louder voices, a de facto veto power, and number 3, industry has powerful lobbying associations, electricity, national delegations, and in many cases, put pressure on the governments. 30 percent of its representatives are not policy makers, but business people, the highest number in any un agency. ah

managed build as a big ships to exploit economies of trade. the evan neighborhood industries to create one year a bikini and t shirts that it just said cheat. the people, think of them is disposable. and that's been facilitated by cheap shipping. that doesn't pay for it, please. ah, when it comes to emissions is absolutely no excuse how slow the shipping industry is being to address that. it's just, it's absolutely shameful. mm. but momentum for change is building, it's recognized that we can't. so climate change with that will say solving the emissions problem from shipping. the european union is taking a leading role to force companies to reduce emissions. and innovation can be a huge help. more believe technology such as batteries for short, distance vessels, green hydrogen, or getting hydrogen bays,

fuels can fill that gap and fully to come in either sector. but it takes good timing and effort to turn a tanker around and the i m. o has displayed neither shipping hasn't shown that it can move swiftly when it comes to reforming itself with thing. that is possible. it is doable, but he's not going to happen on his own fan. it's the regulations that mandate switch to those sustainable behaviors. sustainable technologies and the shipping companies need to renew ships would be far more expensive, but at german conservation group has worked out that those for $99.00 t shirts would then cost just $0.02 more. sometimes small changes can leads to big results in kenya, for instance, fishermen were offered the chance to swap the engines on their boats from diesel electric baldwood. let's take a look at how much of a difference it's made for they work. and they said on dings. ah asked dusk

fools, jared utter know hits out on to lake victoria. since he started using an electric motor, he and his team no longer have to breathe them, exhaust fumes. and it's not as noisy either. or tina was one of the few fishermen here who started using an electric motor last year. it's much easier before he was constantly having to change gears or so. you have to move careful, robert propeller dublin. so run it through tubes. it might order me get contact with her manila, you the 1st tree all the gear saw removing. you'd have gum cumbersome reviews while you just do just automatic 3rd come up with some of the fishermen use solar lamps to mark out the area where they plan to cast their large net. with

the lights, slowly attracts the fish to the surface. then in the early morning, they pull up the net. the nights are long on the lake, only after 12 hours do the fisherman returned to me again. a beach in the town of m, b t r a t n a share the proceeds of the cat with the other fisherman, after deducting expenses, until he only has the electric motor and batteries on loan from a company called or salvo lab worker. every morning he returns the used batteries, and in the evening he receives a freshly charged set, a sober runs out the motors for the equivalent of around $38.00 euros a month. the batteries cost 7 years 50 per day. a lot of money for fishermen here. the dutch started a sober, had to do a lot of math to develop this business model. they saw the batteries and motors

from germany. here in kenya, they have technicians who take care of the repairs and maintenance. they also offer a 24 hour service. if there are problems on the water, the fishermen have to call their rescue number that we can resolve on call. but sometimes when their technical issues are not in a position to be solved during that time, we have to, we have to send out as to what to go, pull them back, or maybe change something, a component of the engine for that matter. the batteries are equipped with gps track is so that the boats can be precisely located in case of emergency. more than 15 fishermen have signed a contract with the company i saw as working to improve their offer to get more customers. it's made contact with companies in kenya and uganda that refurbish used batteries. these could be rented out to the fisherman at a cheaper rate. in the 2nd life batteries will make them more duleigh. so that also

we might, we mimic the current operations of our customers, but if it were come on to war far, we give them more bodies. then we tried this recharge fee, but, but see like, you don't go far. we give you full batteries, you hon. short distance, we give you one or 2 batteries and you pay for what you are used. a soho as the 1st company in kenya to invest an e, mobility on water. and one of the few in general on the countries markets around $25000.00, both are out on lake victoria every day. and many of them belong to kenyan fishermen who used combustion engines, which pollute the lake and home the fish population. often the fishermen only get small silver sigh printed from the lake and they catch quotas have also declined in recent years. jared or tina is wife and mother take care of the catch every morning, 1st drying it and then selling it as quickly as possible. the fish are the main

source of income for the family of 12. they also the money to pay the school fees for their full children. and they've even managed to build a 2nd boat. jared atlanta wants to equip this one with an electric motor too. he has a plan for his family. i'm praying god willing that my children know to be fishing was. so the sooner the better another's has been bizarre. i. now i'm so i put in a 2 cushion for friday, would additional info from bare b if they're employed to become change my, our life. jared or tiana has already persuaded some other fishermen to switch to electric motors problem, but he and a sofa, a still among the pioneers of e mobility and it will take many more like them to see a benefit to like victoria and it's fish to be more by

is a gift for each one of us. it's our ticket to participate in social life. our team met a woman taxi driver in big blue was breaking stereotypes and paving the we for more women to be independent, one drive at a time. 99 percent of the drivers in india. i'll meet the now i'm one of the few women through it. my name is lee john seen glen with me. i am 22 years old and i am a taxi driver on looking at everyone stairs at me when i drive by dancing allen up on them. but different people react differently mighty that up up. some people are amused by some smiled little by some will purposely overtake and cut me off and then in the ward that i've been with them on some curse and tell me to drive by

door and some oz if i even know how to drive a nail or whatever like that with ah, going on, i heard about an opportunity where women could take driving lessons even if i wanted to progress in life. so i thought this would be my best john didn't a little bit. so i learned how to drive me now and i leave at $530.00 to pick up the call i on a fixed amount every month. oh and then if i end it, but if i miss a day, i work on sundays, don't make up for able to send employee on the account with oh, let's not talk about traffic. it's so bad. ah,

in a good day i only pick up female passengers. i don't drive men by way, men look at women, it doesn't feel comfortable or sleep. my date of ultimate goal will cool. when the driver is female, women feel more relaxed when it goes into like the thing. oh, she will get us there safely and with money would have been with ah, would they even i'll be scared if it is a long trip. dark at night. women coming back from the air toward field, particularly scared a man to take them anywhere since the client might not know the way to her destination will go on with me. i have been

stories in the news about a driver who took a woman somewhere off the main road and raped her. then that's why i'm all of the men are becoming gab drivers. now he had been a part of monotony. everything is controlled by men at the moment, and we may not all press god to another you be now, not just when it comes to driving, a beautiful wonderland. let us be equal. we are all human being uh, letting out a lot of money and on the phone with me. ah, i live in a slamming bag and all here there is a lot of alcoholism among manno dane this lemma. women who live in this lum work, se rebirth upper mind, vegetable sellers and garbage collector to come up with

a little bit of there's not much money to me and a lot and there aren't many opportunities for improving your situation. either. zelmer had a few out us repo, you will probably the us, we put in money, or maybe it will end up selling tomatoes or other mobile payment been indicted but of pain medicine when i look up. but anyway, after i finished and read, i started to wonder really why i had so few choices. they were that long. i only knew what it was like working at a metal filling up what they said their number good either. my mother would like me to mattie, but i don't really want to. my dream is to put my sister's little parlor, but she helped my older sister get married and buy a house with

dish. when them when it, if my father will yo. i think he would be brown, that if i let her go, whenever a girl has a problem, whether it's been her mother in law or husband, she shouldn't just sit back and do nothing. she sure to stand up for herself. we are capable of so much. nothing is impossible for everybody all can be broken down at atlanta. when diva down in our homes during the fan demik, each of us realized the value of being more by what we must take care of now is that i need to be on the move doesn't harm the environment. think about that, and i'll see you again. next week, good bye. and thanks for watching. ah
