ah, a child's surroundings should be clean and safe, but both inside and outside they homes. children are exposed to pollution that poses a danger to their health and environment. i'm only going yesterday we me to youngster speaking action, to protect their peers and the future of the planet alone. welcome. i'm son, that it's natural for parents to want to shower their kids with gifts more often than not endorsed. presley's are made plastic research, a see 90 percent of the toys manufactured worldwide, a made of plastic materials that contain toxins. jordan, india, one young activist, is working to raise awareness about the health puzzles of plastic toys and that environmental impact after the discarded ah

ah, a child donated destroyed call to the young eagle voice is from the little white glove . not because it's broken, but because it's blasting. the club meets once a month to collect plastic glittering as we all know that plastic is actually very harmful because it's a non biodegradable. so i want to make a big change in the environment and i got more about being an eagle warrior would help it. the plastic eyes are bad because they contain heavy metals like lead and other chemical substances which are lay harmful for the earned nature. and when we burn the plastic, they prep, they release on chemical substances into the average causes air pollution. the little white glove got to work about 6 months ago. they've already

collected around $220.00 clothes of plastic doors to be picked up by a recycling company. the ultimate mission, to rid the world of plastic doors. it was the idea of 10 years old. so you know, rickard from bengal rural. she has her own podcast and has a started an online campaign in the say, no to plastic toys. when they click on it, they can sign our petition. and we raise this petition to notify the indian government. hey, these plastic toys are destroying our health that has tried everything. we have the stop it. so we're waiting for 500 signatures because we have some 300. now we're waiting for $500.00, then it will. i will petition will be more with . there are now or a 100 e go or years emboldened schools or supporting the campaign. guitar da was

supporting her daughter ceo's drive to stem. the flood of plastic close to 50 percent of the plastic that's being produced annually is used in the toys, industry, toys and games industry. and it's a $90000000000.00 industry and tell no one to 90 percent of the toys right now. across the world are made of plastic. plastic is made from crude oil, around $1800000.00 tons of carbon dioxide all emitted every year during plastic reduction. the non governmental organization, toxic sling has long warned about the dangerous effects of plastic on children and adolescents. children are specially more prone to the impacts of toxicity and foster for their drawing out. their bodies are increasing, their growing rapidly. bad metabolism is much faster. they consume much better. so

when it in does the body, it stays in the body. it grows. if i already complete, so by and many of these chemicals have things like dusty sizes, soft nose, flame retardant, stabilizers colorants and fragrances. we try to use 2 toys. they all are chemicals, and many of these chemicals that we know today are known to be extremely dark and hazardous. but there are alternatives. wouldn't die making as a traditional craft in india. it was almost wiped out by decades long flood of commercial plastic toys. but recently demand for wouldn't play things has picked up again to the delight of the artisans of jenny putnam, who have produced colorful toy creations. here for 3 centuries, the cities known as the toil of cannot accosting the small and large craft companies such as ought to some bright fios shy the newer had themed ups and downs

of the industrial. today her company employees, 90 workers. the toys are all made from a soft looking for known as eden. martin the only the people thinking of edna's on the eco friendly match of thought at this increasing domestic market. the slightly improved, uglier, like, you know, we had almost like $7030.00 at ange, like 70 percent export market, then 30 percent us domestic market. we had to now it does come to $64.00 b. the company has focused on and one mentally friendly production. it save it big 6 times less than a g to produce stores than it would the equivalent in bluffed it. and it only uses organic bains that'd make from 6 blonde b as big means, such as indigo for blue to mary, for you and for 1000000 for read artisan,

cried developed beams with a design company. it comes from nature degrees to very fast for daughter, isn't it? eco friendly, what most important difference and uniqueness in general, but not bias. the coloring is done using lack. why did he did he call it luck? ah, that isn't natural, is it infect best? is it the company says it only uses vote from large branches, eliminating the meat to cut down trees with an eye to sustainable growth. it plans to meet greater demand by planting its own trees. but what we're trying to do is to have a kind of sustainable on both of the 3 to we don't have time to negotiate that the government autism pride has already met with officials to request land where it can grow its own thimble.

ah, the eager warriors have their own request. they want the government to ban plastic toys once and for all those equal barrios in bengal, a part of a global movement of children and youth fighting to protect their environment. enabling, focused on we met another young activist whose alarmed about the effects of plastic toys and is making a difference with her own sustainable alternatives. ah, meet for them. she the courteous centimeter toil dawn from pakistan. she is the brainchild of emma danesh. they live in, he adored environmental activists lived in karachi, the daughter just introduced look back gift on the attire, are part of her work, just feet the planet. the idea gone further from was because one because i love marine life and then i saw a hermit, crab stock inside

a plastic doors hayes and suffocated, and suddenly died. so that's why i thought these type of dog eco friendly dogs would be better than plastic. so i called her visit because says i in her though means environment. ah, bizarre is now just one of $7.00 that a man has designed. she makes the prototype with her grandmother. over here we are making a dress for the dog. the dogs are then produced by them from poor neighbourhood of good archie, provided them with an additional source of income. the cotton is locally thoughts from pakistan. the man felt for dollars for the equivalent of 7 years on her website, she uses the proceeds to run an educational back from a children and get both up to 15

years of age. can log on to the site and learn about climate change and its impact on back of dun and emitted short videos and philips give young viewers a deeper understanding of the topic. and at the end, they can on for to forget by competing with a man's dog half turned into a small social enterprise buck a sand national incubation, fidel which hoped the young companies in this dr. 5th had also given a man, it's backing to the board. if fortunately, the subsidy has use of learning, management systems has increased, especially during the pandemic knew that this bolton is unique because it tells us things about climate change, which we may not already know because it gives information for children. an animated video format to deal give and this makes it unique, ridiculous to attract all bach. astonished among the top 10 countries most affected

by climate change. the damage from extreme weather events like drought, is close to $4000000000.00 annually or guard activists. i'm glad that a younger generation is sticking up the fight for the future. and they've actually inspired their var, you know, hell to accountability, those who are supposed to be making the decisions which are needed to combat climate change. so i have a lot of faith and i have a lot of hope for this younger generation then because you see it is there why, which is going to be spoiled if nothing is done for them. a man is continuing her drive to raise awareness. she recently published climate storybook. it includes contributions from $25.00 children a do she hopes will move parks and mine because it takes hundreds of years for plastic to break down. it's conceivable that every

toy ever made from the material still exists. many of the products we use in our daily life are considered and recyclable. but as our report are discovered, there may be a solution that's been around for decades. it's called chemical recycling. this reactor is supposed to do the impossible recycle the on recyclable such as these tires that would otherwise adjust the bond or end up in landfill. a possible solution chemical recycling. i think it breaks plastic down into its original components to create new plastic and infinite cycle. at least that's what the companies are telling us. but is the technology really a solution to the looming plastic crisis?

generally we collect and then we sold and source and sought some more all mechanically. and that's how we recycle 99 percent of all plastic waste in europe. but with these tires that the lower recycled rubber can only be used for a few things though like race tracks for example. and the world only needs so many of those, but there's an abundance of tires. so instead of recycling them, they are burned because of their heating value at pyro facility and germany, old tires that would otherwise just be incinerated are broken down into their original components. in the 1st step, the tires are shredded 3 times the outcome. textile fibers, steel, wool, and rubber. the fibers can be used as insulation and the steel is melted into new steel again. so far, so good, but chemical recycling goes a lot further than this, and that's why this rubber goes into that thing. a paralysis reactor that cooks

everything at a really high temperature. the rubber granules are put in at the very bottom and make their way up to the top of the tower. then gravity does its thing and everything drops. what's the bottom? the rubber granular is heated to around $700.00 degrees celsius in the tower. it's practically cooked out and breaks down into its components. the resulting gas is discharged and supplies the process with electricity. in the end, 2 solids come out of the plant, paralysis, oil, and coke. or cabin black. but as you can imagine, it takes an immense amount of energy to heat that much plastic because you essentially breaking chemical bonds. and this amount of energy is also one of the biggest concerns from an environmental point of view when it comes to paralysis. rather then i'll get it remains at the end of the process. and that goes through a cleaning system, then into

a buffer tank and from the buffer tank into to thermal plants or thought on. these are actually power generator of sarcasm by layer 2 big 12 cylinders. and they produced electricity for the whole plant to linda when they put out, soon informed those gun silver or the whole planted. so it's really completely interview self sufficient, even though it's such an energy intensive process, if you will or isn't. yes, it is, even though it's considered so energy intensive hog this means that pirate energy recovery process is producing enough energy to heat free 100 family homes for an entire year. this concept of powerless is that done here is deemed most popular way of chemical recycling. currently, facilities are popping up all over the world. like here in india, china or saudi arabia. the problem is that on many commercial scale, chemical recycling plans out there and the companies mostly keep the data to

themself the main advantage or at the moment, oh paralysis. and it's better than incineration at the moment. now obviously incinerating plastics is just about the worst thing you can do anyway. so that's quite a low bar said to reach. we've seen some studies that suggest that if you can mechanically recycle, then chemical researching doesn't tend to be better than that. but there are some tradeoff said because you're in product from chemicals, ducting is equipment to virgins that can be used more application after one hour. and that's how the rubber turns into this carbon black. and it's basically like coal and goes back into tire production because this is what ties i'm made off like 40 percent of the tire is the so called carbon black. but there is more apart from the gas and the carbon black. you also get this, which is a relative or it's very similar to crude oil. when you smell it. really also it's not like gasoline,

but you can basically make any plastic you want out of it. just need a little more processing. so it's possible to recycle stuff, chemically, when it can't be recycled mechanically. that's already an improvement because it's save some version crude oil. but what does that mean in terms of tackling the plastic crisis? let's look at europe for that. in 2020 europeans collected 29500000 tons of plastic waste of at about 35 percent, was recycled? 23 percent ended up in landfills and 42 percent went into energy recovery and most of what went into energy recovery about 8000000 tons of plastic. could in theory be chemically recycled in europe alone? the technology does make sense because it can recycle stuff that we couldn't otherwise, and that's better for the environment, but only compared to simply burning plastic. and that's

a pretty low bar. i mean anything, it's basically better than infiltration. can we can recycling is not a silver bullet. we still need to think about how we can avoid plastic waste in the 1st place. well, how we can a white plastic with is a lesson. children can begin learning in school. like india. connor has integrated and wide mental education intro official school program teacher there being 3 and 2 a week and an interest among pupils in caring for the environment. lou class is in session at the t i off medea senior high school in kumasi gone as 2nd biggest city. the theme of today's lesson is vital to the future of these students, climate change and how to tackle it. classes in environmental protection have been taught here for about a year. now. sustainable business ideas are also on the curriculum. the

ads are become warm, so it is true, he wanted to reduce that. i lifted emma's registration. so yeah, students would them much want to you would, what's the algebra block them that is all represented in mount. so i did do the deviates from did a bud i to reduce that i was pointing with the, to the global warming for most of these students. it's the 1st time they've heard of the climate crisis and the subject has really caught their attention. i think it's would really change our attitude towards the environment. it would all supports and the protection of the environments from the teachers are being taught to raise awareness about environmental protection. over 600 have been trained so far. over half of gone as schools are already integrating the subject into their curriculum with more to follow. gone as education,

ministry sees environmental education as high priority. it's a will training the, the kids or the language to own the environment. they're varman, belongs to that the other future leaders a level we need to incorporated them and bitterness, dunden an appreciation of that task ahead of them. so the curriculum of that aspect in their, the teaching modules focus heavily on the climate crisis. the students learned that the emission of greenhouse gases leads to heat waves and drowns. in addition, sea levels are rising, which is why some villages on the coast will have to be abandoned. some lessons also deal with a plastic waist that clogs many sewers and drainage canals in ghana and makes flooding more likely. the students also learn how planning trash impacts the environment and health. many people and gonna are already feeling the consequences

of environmental destruction. first hand. the climate changes. an environment is causing so many problems in our society. you know, they suffered of food and you know, at times there's flood in and all these things in order to raise awareness of these problems. more and more schools are also organizing so called green clubs, outside of class. the children go on excursions, collect rubbish and plant trees. the green clubs are often led by environmental protection activists is much easier to groom the younger ones who become people who are, who more responsible instead of possibly focusing on the adults. we for the younger ones, are there was no glory. now, if we can ship the future, he's such a way that they are more suited to was good is wishes. it is better for the climate and also for the future. environmental education in schools is

a stars. the coming years will show whether the seat that was planted hair has terminated thanks to educational progress. children understand early that they are the ones who stand to suffer the consequences of inaction on climate change and pollution. school children in europe are tackling the problem of plastic waste by assisting scientists on the ground and a dylan location on the raw river in western germany. but take a closer look and it's not as beautiful kevin knoll and their classmates have come to do some fishing, but not the usual kind. it's trash they're looking for. and here it doesn't take long. there is litter everywhere. they look and lots of different types of it. the students attend to local high school and are taking

part in initiative called plastic pirates. it's a research project where young students get to do their work of real scientists. they take water samples and measure count and record the pieces of trash. they recover from the rivers and river banks. scientists and keel used the data to generate a garbage map for german rivers and calculate how much trash ends up in the sea. since 2016, more than 15000 plastic pirates from 700 schools have collected samples from all over germany. the project is now being launched and other european countries to for the past 2 years, the school has included the topic of recycling under curriculum. and the teachers are happy to do their part to inspire the butting scientists. now listen, if it's something i care about myself, it's always follows me when i see people leaving rubbish behind,

especially when they have small children with them and a supposed to be setting an example. the work of the plastic pirates shows that on average, one piece of trash can be found for every 2 square meters of riverbank and germany . france also has a project aimed at tracking down the trash. it's called plastic origins and goes a step further, using artificial intelligence and an app. we want to mobilize as much as volunteers and citizens, as we turn to go on the rebel. so you can create a products will get in all worked in your angelito banks. and using those data using but the video footage that's i'll bring to think of that read of banks. we will be able to analyze as good do detect liter items, am and use as data to my pre book nested pollution. the aim of plastic origins is

sticking stricter legislation introduced on plastic waste and regulatory limits for the amount of plastic in european rivers. their garbage map pains to identify especially polluted areas. but the app can't track micro plastics in germany alone for kilos of micro plastics per person. per year end up in the environment. the main sources particles from vehicle tires, industrial waste, and household garbage. it's difficult for waste water treatment plants to filter out the tiny particles. but a munich startup called aiko far you is showing how it can be done using a simple but effective method. the waste water is pumped in on the top left, a powerful war, texas created in the pipe, pushing water containing a large amount of micro plastics to the top. the company says 95 percent of micro plastics from municipalities and industry could be filtered out this way. the young

plastic pirates agreeing that more needs to be done to combat plastic pollution after just 2 hours. and as it, dylan location, they found more trash than they can even carry. like we just saw when you empowered and enlightened children, the future of the human race is secured for children, exposed to ideas of sustainable alternatives. this becomes the starting point. unlike many of the previous generations, for example, will find it difficult to make do without plastics. think about that and i'll see you again next week. good bye. and thanks for watching ah, with

with good shape where they are our bodies, wastewater treatment system, the kidneys, bladder urinary tract task, filtering and disposing waste and talk. so what can we do to assist you with

w? a showing off on the coat does? yeah. glamour is celebrity at the 75th cans film festival. but what is it like on the other side of the red carpet celebrity? so for tony elk, woody will photographer danielle and julie reveal the answer to that question of close and personal with the stars you romance? in 60 minutes on dw blue, she made it out. unfortunately, she talked in a south bay mother who is going to spend the rest of her life behind bars for murdering her 3 daughters. if you call me back,

i do with i see the sign was part of psychosis is an awful illness. post fordham is a nasty bench mothers nightmare starts june, 4th on d w. when we eat and drink gives our bodies the entity to perform a wide range of functions. but not all of it gets used and some of it as even toxic . our body also produces its own substances that have to be excrete it quickly. the human body has a built in filter system made up of our kidneys, bladder and urinary tract. if they didn't keep our bodies clean, it would be just like a fish tank with a broken filter.
