a south, a mother who is going to spend the rest of her life behind bars for murdering her 3 daughters. if you call me back, i did with i see the site down. was part of a psychosis. isn't it awful illness? postpartum is a nasty mothers nightmare. starts june 4th on d, w. ah, ah, a child surroundings should be clean and safe, both inside and outside the homes. children are exposed to pollution that poses a danger to their health and environment. i'm only going yesterday when you to

youngsters taking action to protect their peers and the future of the planet alone . welcome. i'm sorry that it's natural for parents to want to shower their kids with gifts more often than not. those presidents are made plastic research, se 90 percent of the toys manufactured worldwide a made of plastic materials that contain toxins. urine india, one young activist, is working to raise awareness about the hell 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 plastic. 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 o 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, rhythm from bangalore. she has her own thought, ghost 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 over a 100 eager warriors involved in schools or supporting the campaign. guitar done 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 all 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 and children, and adolescents. children are especially more prone to no impacts of tots. it's d and foster for their drawing. ah, 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 it and fight it back lisa, bye. and many of these chemicals have things like justice isis, soft nose, flame retardant, stabilizers colorants and fragrances which are, you will stem toys. they all are chemicals. and many of these chemicals that read

nor to day are known to be extremely dotsie and hazardous. but there are alternatives, wouldn't die making as a traditional craft in 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 gena butler who have produced colorful toy creations. here for 3 centuries, the city is known as decoy of canada, costing the small and large craft companies such as ought to some bright feel shy. the newer has themed ups and downs of the industry today, her company employees, 90 workers. the toys are all made from a soft looking for known as eel martin. the lead the people thinking and the awareness on the eco friendly match of thought at

this increasing domestic market, the slightly improved, uglier, like, you know, we had almost like 7030 at ange, like 70 percent export market entity percentage 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 energy to produce stores than it would the equivalent in bluffed it. and it only uses organic beams that it made from 6 blonde to be as big such as indigo for blue to mary for you and for 1000000 for read autism pride, develop the beams with a design company. it comes from nature degree very fast for daughter, isn't it? eco friendly. what most important difference and uniqueness in general, but not i use the coloring is done using lack. what in hindi we can't lock.

ah, that isn't natural, is it? in fact, best is it, the company says it only uses wood from large branches, eliminating the need to cut down trees with an i 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 both of the tree to get on to trying 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 warned 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 figure. she the 30th centimeter toil dawn from pakistan. she is the brainchild of a mont danesh. they live in yet, or environmental activist, lived in karachi, the dance just introduced buck. if danny at dia are part of her work, just fit the planet. the idea i got physics from was because one because i love marine live and then i saw a jaime grad stuck inside a plastic dawes haze, 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 5th i in her though means invalid. ah, bizarre if now just one of several dolls that

a man has design. 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 r t, providing them with an additional source of income. the cotton is locally thoughts from pakistan. the man felt the dog for the equivalent of 7 years on her website. she uses the proceeds to run an educational back from children and get both up to 15 years of age. can log onto the site and learn about climate change and its impact on back of dun, animated, short videos and finance. give young viewers a deeper understanding of the topic at the end they can and for different gifts by competing with a man's daughter half turned into

a small social enterprise bucket fans national incubation. fidel which hope the young companies in this dr. phil has also given a man, it's backing to the board is fortunately, the subsidy has use of learning. management systems has increased, especially during the pandemic. knew that this portal is unique because it tells us things about climate change, which we may not already know. it gives information for children in animated video format to deal give and this makes it unique, ridiculous. your tractor pakistan is among the top 10 countries most affected by climate change. the damage from extreme weather events like drought, it's close to 4 bill in dallas and really wholly guard activists. i'm glad that a younger generation is picking up the fight for the future. and they've actually inspired their, you know, have to account big leaders 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 with this younger generation that because you see it is their word 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 story book. it includes contributions from $25.00 children. do she hopes will move heart and mind 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're sort 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 is 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 gray light is heated to around $700.00 degrees celsius in the tower.

it's practically cooked out and breaks down into its components. the result in gas is this charge and supplies. the process with electricity. and the n 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. ah, then i get is, 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 a soon informed post 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 ball 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 trade off because you're in products 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. and when you smell it, really also it's not like gasoline, but you can basically make any last think 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 a lot better for the environment, but only compared to simply burning plastic. and that's a pretty low bar. i mean anything is basically battling incineration chemically. 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 avoid plastic waste is a lesser children can begin learning in school. like india, qana is integrated in wide mental education into official school programs. teach us

there are being trained to awaken an interest among pupils in caring for the environment. class is in session at the t i off medea senior high school in kumasi gunners 2nd biggest city. the theme of today's lesson is vital to the future of the students, climate change and how to tackle it. la classes in environmental protection have been taught here for about a year now. sustainable business ideas are also on the curriculum number. the earth become warm. so it is true, he wanted to reduce that are listed as well as recent so yet subsidies what them much want to you would? what's the algebra block them. that was all the evidence didn't mount. so i did do the deviates from did a bud i to reduce that i was pointed 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 kids or the lenders to own the environment. they're varman, belongs to the the other future leaders, a level we need to incorporated them, a better understanding and appreciation of that task ahead of them. so the curriculum have that aspect in their,

the teaching modules focus heavily on the climate crisis. the students learned that the emission of greenhouse gases needs to heat wags 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 in ghana are already feeling the consequences of environmental destruction 1st hand. the climate changes and her 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 days 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 plum trees. the green clubs 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 adult. we for the younger ones, are, there was no glory. now you freak on ship. the future you such a way that we are more suited to was good, is furnishes. it is better for the climate and also for the future. environmental education in schools is the stars, the coming years will show whether the seat that was planted here 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 it dylan location on the roar river in western germany, but take a closer look and it's not as beautiful kevin nole 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's 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, miss. oh, 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 branches and citizens, as we turn to go on the rebel. so you can create alex will get in all wilton, angelito banks. and using those data using but the video footage that's are going to take of that real banks. we will be able to analyze those good to detect liter items am and uses data to my pre the plastic pollution. the aim of plastic origins is to get 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 and 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 start out called eco florio 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 this is 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 in 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, i ah, ah, with
