ah, it happened 175 years ago. young start up entrepreneur at a specific goal to build the best optical instruments in the card size. indeed, linda, my susie, bearing his name one day, be featured in the moonlight and weed science into realms and 75 years of size distorts. june 19th, w ah, cities and communities are growing faster. often their wrists systems can't keep up . whether it's from humans, animals or industry, what we leave behind is

a burden on people and the environment on eco. and yesterday we meet individuals with bright ideas, a handling whist, hello, and welcome. i'm son of that. i hope we start with the basics, functioning toilets, a more than a convenience there weitel to public help about a quarter of india's population lives without regular access to sanitary facilities . one social enterprises working to change that with smart public toilets that improve hygiene and restored dignity to the open port. ah, philly and vandalized, public toilets in a slum of ferry, the barge in northern india. the cities waste system has buckled under explosive population growth. colony resident manager to come are, sees. there are lots of toilets here, but many more are needed. save a landline,

that's no sewage land in the colony that so people dig holes and create toilets at home. it's live over here, but the people who can't afford that go out dos with every carrier. they have a without see which pipes or solid base management. fiegel waste ends up in bonds and water bodies around the colony. tap water here is so contaminated residents frequently fall, ill, waive i still have kids here are constantly suffering from stomach aches and diarrhea and my grandmother. and now that the heat is so severe. the water problems, of course, in 2014, the un identified india as the country with the highest number of people practicing opened education. that same year, the government launched a swatch, bought admission or cleaning the omission since then. more than a 100000000 toilets have been installed across the country. experts say to day, only one percent of the urban population and 20 percent in rural areas. still decades in the open, a little idiom b, navy, in slum areas,

we have installed community toilets at many locations. so the problem is that people living there don't use them properly to, to use an eco buttons. you're the older, the have tappin started up. bulbs get stolen, fuel seats, get broken down that's get stolen. people break the wash recently. we don't know why people do these things, but these are the issues be face that make toilet maintenance difficult problem. the problem of toilet maintenance isn't confined to album slumps. it also affects people who travel or walk on routes as kashmiri gate, a bustling metal stop in delhi, there is a clean and smart alternative. the sanitation center was built by the company, got toilets, and installed in partnership with the deli metro real corporation. me how coil is in charge of the project. my unc meta is the company,

c e o and co founder. they show us why the thing this facility can make a difference. they are separate cubicles for women and men, as well as for transgender and disabled customers. we are using stainless steel because though it's indestructible, as you know, this is a high football lydia. so a lot of fob, i mean people, government, i had to do some vandalism, and people on break this. oh, so before entering the toilet, we have indicator lights here, which you can check and all know whether the toilets occupied or not. oh, we have vor send surveys, operations you. so after every usage of flush will get a trigger, even the basins tiger, all the sensor based. oh, so you don't need to touch anything to a washer. hence, the company monitors data like user numbers via an app centers, middle air quality. if values dip, stop our dispatch to clean up about

800 people, use this facility every day. one visit costs 5 rupees, about half of your ascent. i listen. i use it 2 to 3 times a week because these toilets are clean and safe. yeah. the problem, li, unhappy safety via the under, unlike government and public toilets, the private ones are clean. the use of more basic words are free of charge. they are financed by central or local government bodies, or companies with social responsibility programs. god sees these toilets so of some 60000 slammed residents across india. that equipped with wash basins ventilation and also rely on sensor technology to flush automatically we were not to clearly depending on or user to either flush the toilet and even the

painting self to come in and clean the toilet. so the toilet was managing all by itself, so it's self cleaning and self flushing. envelop. good man, 40 the bad. 50 are all set deal at these spends her days selling flowers on the pavement from morning to night. finding the clean, usable public toilet. she tells us has always been a challenge. up until now she's had no choice but to walk half a kilometer to get to one. today she's using a smart toilet for the 1st time. recently installed a stone's throw from where she walks of the honey shana. and on that now there are no issues like there were before, no stench, they're clean and there's water too. of course, i'm happy now that i can use these toilets. the fiegel sludge is treated onsite in digester tanks and don't into liquid for the laser. and in areas where grid connectivity is scarce, the toilets are solar powered. the company sees it's installed more than

2100 of its toilets nationwide catering to 230000 people from low income communities. people like flour cello sat there would be, it's a service that's made her long workday a little easier. while human excrement is not something generally viewed as useful, but in mexico it's been employed as an effective organic fertilizer. since ancient times, we visited farmstead a composting. it to grow veritable garden of eden. yes. all last long. thomas leah nueva is so pleased with the day's harvest that he breaks into sung as he delivers the sample for the kitchen. their laughter are these jo? yes. his wife liliana. randolph will use it to prepare lunch. after working out doors, every one is hungry. allow one can thank the water for watering the plants, the compost for feeding,

then the net that composite was made from human excrement, all perfectly normal farmer thomas villanueva and his family. on the edge of the small mexican town of tampa, teaque's law in the state of mexico, the all entirely farm grows, fruits and vegetables. everything here is fertilized, exclusively with homemade human dung. no thought was gone. i saw a complete in the cycle seek lord comes from me or if it's digested and excrete out of whatever so that the castiano the here, the process of composting from allows us to give back to the soil. what we took from huntington boulevard l. a. deirdre lockerbie, so we complete the cycle and life continues the lobby, that se they eat their own vegetables, but they also sell them at markets. all plants need nutrients to grow, especially in nitrogen and phosphorus. all in t ali is a fully organic farm,

and artificial fertilizes our band. thomas via new eva says they're expensive and bad for the soil. so he and his team invest a lot of time and effort, collecting excrement from dry toilets, mixing it with natural ingredients like stone powder or straw to transform it into a rich compost over a number of months. the activity of bacteria leads to high temperatures during compositing, that heat kills any pathogens, elk, our guy, philip, the name of that miss compost here is now ready yet, and it's most pleasant, like fertile soil, be of a fair deal. they used to grow various types of cabbage, beetroot broccoli, fruit, and a whole lot more. lead come to the small town of aucker to peck in the state of morales here, architect says are, and your van has also looked at ways of recycling feces. if somebody cannot cook

upon the earth, this is an ecological neighbourhood that i set up more than 20 years ago. i wanted to show that homes can use dry toys and not pollute any water, you know, confirming i did. i will. in other words, toilets that divert the urine away from the feces and that are not flushed with water. these toilets are not connected to the sewage system either long, but here and lands in the front here, electric poop at the back. just out a bit of soil. it is, and that's it. either a lot of raw sewage in mexico flows directly into lakes rivers and the see something says are on your way, finds outrageous. he believes dry toilets of the solution and gives workshops, teaching people how to build and use them in. okay, so tindle isn't critical. what i'm doing is reviving the knowledge and understanding of water that our ancestors had. they didn't see excrement as

something dirty, but it's something that needs to be returned to the earth's window. ah, this ancestors used human feces and other organic ways to develop fertile islands known as channel pass used for growing crops. in wetland areas. they've been used in mexico since ancient times on one she nampa on the edge of mexico city. lucio was so bianca wants to keep that heritage a line. latino passes from oil of book that she numbers are one rare example of how we humans have helped to promote life and biodiversity. so they're a very powerful example of how we can live in harmony with nature. now when you're coming up with a list, he runs a regenerative farming project called out cut yetta. the idea is to grow organic, produce working as closely as possible with nature. the produce is then sold to restaurants and mexico cities. he no longer need to give back to the earth what

we've received the ship of food. otherwise, you get an imbalance leading to pests and depleted soil. these are out of efficiency us to feed the plans properly. you need to return all that's left over, back to the soil, and a sun follows this polish back to the old in t ali organic fun. thomas via new age as customers know how his vegetables are grown and they whole heartedly approve. la got got in as obscene or pump as a bad image in our society gamble. but we know that this composting process makes it perfectly hygenic than amazon goggle garcia. and we always like to say as that with put you never lose a harvest and, but i will now must get going. yet michael said chuck as at the other a cycle of giving and taking eating and ex greeting. something that triggers revolves and elsewhere is seen here as the most natural thing in the world.

why convulsing human excrement may be a novel concept to some animal dung is widely used in for production. but when communities live in close quarters of livestock, large amounts of manure, i'm dangerous. the people's health and the environment. a start up in india south has come to the rescue. one willis that now don's done into energy. ah, cows are central to the livelihoods of people in the village of rod. the rajah purim and family modesty, a village with farmland husbands salsa. but the push of arbin grew from the state capitol janai, roughly a 3rd of its 900 households. still keep livestock and sheds next to their homes and rely on the milk to support the families. but all those goes great, massive amounts of manure. village resident parker, you saw me says it's a problem for the community and it's groundwater in the law market. the pl dylan rezani and lots of called dongle dumped into the dog. it goes into the many open

drains in clarkston, which stops to rainwater from floating through. this causes disease and mosquito infestation is fever and vomiting at all for common. we wanted the government to do some taylor madeline, either the better the authorities done to karen agger was for help, the former banker and as a startup garbled loot and wise industrial plant operators, educational institutions, and authorities on all aspects of waste management. they approached us and we had given them our presentation on how this waste can be used in a very positive way for the electrification of to limit the authorities awarded to start up a contract to build a bio guess blunt and the public sector and rested equal in to fall most 700000 years in it,

the blonde non processes between $1.00 and $1.00 and a half dozens of comma newer each day. a huge relief for the dairy farmers. community leaders say that disposing of the dung is no longer a problem. it was nearly ran away to santa fe po, little and then the thought we now collect common load from each house and processor to out i guess the out of the gas had gin late can be used for cooking and electricity radiates is stored in a generator either one of the grandma's electors, didn't paula's $1250.00 street lights each night? is one of the gonna lemons out there. the little i had a good on the community used to pay up to 1700 yos for electricity. now it cost about a 3rd less pollution levels in the local water have also gone down the waste from the bio gas blonde and done is a top quality for delighted high nitrogen compound, local farmers,

a more than happy to take it. oh, come on, new isn't the only type of waste that can be used to generate electricity. carbon loops recently put a blonde into operation in another municipality that addresses food waste and apparently $1.00 bonds of breast from the market, including rich to bill race and hotel. ford, which is collected and brought with this facility. again, we are crossing it turned out by august plant lead and converting it into electricity. both bio guess plants have the same effect, the protect the environment and increase people's quality of life by producing energy and the former rise farm up again. sammy now works for the bio guess blonde in his community. the pilot now and

the topic isn't manure. it's material. the fashion industry produces it every year, but a lot of it is discarded because it's either unused or damaged to bank of based on the police are working to keep dead stock fabric out of the dumb with a website that gives materials a new lease on life bags full of fabric that are like new but surplus to little to create a new collection, but to valuable to shred. the store room of tama one village ions garment factory is jam packed with them. over production is just part of the business model. every con, let me order to fat me for each particular order. we have to always on, in expound percentage. just to be sure that we have enough fact me if the defect happen, or if buyer decide to change some quantity off eyes, then we have enough to color to whole quantity. the young entrepreneur can't do

much to change that. still for years, she looked for ways to solve her surplus fabric problem. then, 5 years ago, friends introduced her to financial manager. aman paule, who won on a man with a mission. i wanted to make a change in terms of waste management. and given that leah into digital ish, i think the best way to now manage to list and make it into a scalable business is through the internet. in 2018 in bangkok they founded more loop and online platform for fabric remnants of symbol yet clever concept. the like the abby and b fossa fabric. so these quad here fabri, we would sauce them from different warehouses,

and then they would give us the data off death, abby and a sample. and then we basically put these on to the internet so that people can come and browse and shop online. but the business got off to a rocky start. few believed anyone could produce quality fashions from fabric remnants. after 4 months, the founders were ready to throw in the towel, but then they had the bright idea of creating their own collection. wendy, upon deals into the t shirt, and it's easier to identity. have a sense of quality than delay when a passive, they showed off their t shirts at a trade show and sold out in just 2 days. from then on, things went quickly. at 1st, just 5 factories sold their surplus fabric to more loop. now, more than 70 textile producers and to remnants into the database, the selection is large enough to attract corporate clients. more loop now produces

tailor made products for 150 companies like insurance firms, allianz. oh wow. i think it makes sense. instead of producing the new fabric, why don't we just use whatever that already available? and, and, and, and that's good because i, it means that i, you also help all the factory are in the country as well. she's ordered, 18000 polo shirts, masks and baseball caps all with the same design. that's a big challenge for the startup. oh, we have to make a match with many on different high the different tests are fact big because the quantity in to be an one left over from me could not fast the quantity yet major clients overlooked these little differences to show their green credit.

as an additional service, more loop calculates how much c o 2 they've saved, depending on the color we've and production method of the chosen material. it's not just big companies who make purchases over more loop. so does young designer t i. e dot own blue runner won all the bags and clothes. the boutique artist creates for her label. marianna ziann are one of a kind. she adapt sir ideas to the materials, not the other way around. i only can make on hand corner when, when, when can can oh, it's more like giving new life to unused fabric like like why so it doesn't feel like 2nd hand fabric appointment and the customer's feel the same. listen. can he back and think, and it's just re purposing packing and giving more value to the fabric one that that can time will a hassle pama one lisa. hi lisa. it's

a win win situation. to date, more loop has said some 500 tons of carbon dioxide. the equivalent of the c o 2 emitted during 5000000 kilometers of car travel. but that's still not enough to satisfy its founders. you want to be to part of the global transition to a circular economy and we want to play that part. and we want to be part of making this new equilibrium a reality. there are long term goal is to keep growing and get 500 textile firms putting fabric into the more loop. and they plan to offer more of their own products, along with t shirts, masks and p, p. now, more loops, concept aims to prevent new waste. but or junk is often the legacy that's simply ignored. over the french capital batteries and 11 year old, a single handedly tackling trash in the re will sim dredging up relics from its

depth on any given saturday morning, 11 year old rafael is likely to be out doing what he likes, best fishing, but not in a conventional way, let us only more in thunder, a magnet that can lift up to one ton almost immediately. i fail together with his father strikes anything? shopping trolley chicken was i'm okay. i will do it included unique. i started doing this because i thought it would be fun to do that, but it quickly became some kind of hobby or rather a job. now we are doing this almost every weekend. we have to do it as other adults are doing nothing. the built out and then we'll be all working for you. i shall hitchcock. they soon pull up more items including a kick scooter and

of the waste adults produced to be and he understands that being conscious of how much waste we produce and taking action to transmute it is the need of the hour i'll see, we'll get next week with an equally informative episode. good bye. and thanks for watching with ah, with
