hello guys. this is the 77 percent. the platform for africa suit to repeat issues and share ideas. you know, or this channel. we are not afraid to happen delicate topic because population is growing fast. and young people clearly have the solution that future belongs to the 77 percent every weekend on d. w with where them is left to will food. plastic packaging a broken appliances or waste is binding up, disposing of it properly is often

a problem. however, it's our responsibility to keep the ot clean. there are different ways of doing that. let's explore some of them on to be of sure. hello, welcome to eco india. i'm fun with that. a lot. all of our waste ends up in landfills and scrap yards too much of it. pollutes are, sees and rivers that are initiatives trying to change that along the ganges river. jordan, india, for example, a company from germany is trying to help. ah ah, every you millions of pilgrims and tourists visit the many bathing guards by that it will ganges in what on a c. in the eastern part of the indian state of what that british. during the day, they were de stick dips in the river and light lamps. at night, large crowds gathered to watch the daily art,

the or prayer for the 450000000 people who live in its base in the ganges is an essential water source that has become severely polluted, injuries and decades pulled up by lazurick, a gun novel of even the ganges used to overflow during the monsoon. i would take a duke in it all, but now that it's so polluted i don't b than it by hello, this is d a seat of a. this is 600 years old for grammar. yeah. now people have turned it into a dream, okay. many officers come and go, but no one is taking any action against it for me and over. the main causes of pollution in the ganges is raised to generated by industry, households and tourism. a large portion of it enters that a well from smaller tributaries such as the i see the were at the confluence of these 2 waterways. the pollution is even visible to the naked eye as it flows from the us city. we're into the ganges that on us east popularity as

a tourist destination and its growing population have led to increasing amounts of plastic waste been dumped into its rivers. i saw the kid, but i didn't thought, golly well over the goldman garbage collector comes by, you bleeding these elbows, but not all households on the scene of the like in some through the trash out of their back doors and into the street. i gotta get that a lot of people also told plastic bags garbage and indeed dead animals until the st . by what you. i'd like to morrow, john, what does what believe that i will look now. lynn brideau buggery out of here in 2014, the indian government launched a 2500000000 euro plan call mommy gunky, meaning sacred ganges to clean up the river up with funding from this program, the company, plastic fisher is deploying waterfalls, trash rooms to trap plastic and again, distributed east richardson and leads a 14 member team who have been installing the trash booms across the us. the diva

see the tries, which we are collecting from the trash boom is non recyclable. trash, which includes emily bees, single use plastic, part of my call of and then there is some portion of it which is of bed boxes. it's g, b, l, d b. some both standard clippers sometimes weird stuff like electronically via phone tv, the tv sets in dragons as well. i see the what has become so far looted with garbage, that it is now called the a c na, la, or se drain. it is estimated that nearly $215.00 tons of plastic greased equivalent to the rate of $79.00 elephants and up in there were ganges each day, plastic dumped into the ganges and it's many smaller debris. damages that he was marine ecosystem and the health of millions of people who live along this 2500 kilometer land. but the damage is not limited to itself. now on in micro plastics generated because of the rig donald, the plastic that we use. so for example,

if you throw up on a bag or you know, plastic bucket, eventually they'll break down into smaller box. and, you know, kind of, if you look at the, got into, you know, kind of lisa or just happened much plastic has been found in air. what those mean? human bodies in a vegetable plastic fisher says that it's trash rooms collect between $200.00 to $300.00 milligrams of plastic from the to reverse environment. see each day the company is trying to address the problem of plastic dumping it began. distribute rece. these tend to be much natalie than the main river, which makes dropping waste easier. the littering issue. i mean there has been constant effort from the government and from us as well. we do every sunday, we are doing this in this drive on the banks of about 100,

but to spit the awareness raising campaign does more than pete about pollution while induced big trash from the banks of the ganges, which would help them understand the extent of the problem and cleans up the river banks. sexman has worked for the german firm for 9 months. doing so has helped change his views on his own household waste. ah, i have changed into i keep a garbage pin at home. i sweep up my trash and throw it into the garbage, come in and only give it to the garbage collectors who come to our home that i live in, the garbage collector, sword and b, the trash, then ship it to off through their recycling partner for to per mile recovery plastic fisher says that since it's dark in 2021, it has collected $47.00 tons of plastic leased from bought on a c. all of which would otherwise have ended up in the ganges. such small scale solutions can prove crucial for me to getting the growing presence of micro plastics in the ganges beasen,

as well as the oceans. why you might think of green energy as sustainable. it also leads to whist pick wind turbines. europe will have to dismantle nearly 12000 turbines. why? 2024. normally the materials would end up in scrap yards. but in poland, designers have found a normal route to reach them. these wind turbines are more than 20 years old. compared to modern ones, they're small and inefficient, so they're being torn down. so what happens to these green energy giants at the end of their lifespan? the blades especially, are made of composites and plastics. instead of recycling them a lot ends up in landfills, more incinerated in the kilns of cement and steel factories for some years. now, facilities that in sooner exam aren't really happy about it and that's down to the

physics of the combustion process. last fall, the glass fibers bonded with residence which come up the kiln and the ash and i so quite apart from the environment, luna sank one. it's just not an ideal solution. 0 least you lose own. and recycling is only just getting off the ground. it's only recently that wind turbine manufacturers have had the wind to waste problem on their radar. that often leads to situations like this. on this greenfield decommission turbine blaine or dismantled for the scrapyard one company near the polish city of rod suave has come up with a solution unmet takes own turbine blades from germany and turns them into furniture. the plains of the 12 meters long are 1st thought, intersections,

sanded and painted. they get a new life as outdoor furniture, chairs, benches, and tables. accented with top quality march. would all students from the university of shalana gotta come up with the designs. they're thrilled that their products are being bought by customers around the world. of course we can use it inside, but i think outside is am, is by the right to to use this material. because it's water proof is damaged grove, a foot bridge, another of unmet novel recycling ideas. the rotor blades were transformed into the support for pedestrian bridge. it's the brain child of engineer on j. r. done chew . for him. old blades are not hazardous waste but a resource spout. she, me,

guar, news, me ions go to the for example, we don't try to change the shape of the rotor of years. we turn it into a sculpture or that doesn't blade. and so if me go is going to be monumental, you really big so that it really wild bush bunge. it'll be on a little jack. what i was an enclave novel of runs an online shop wings for living . that's the exclusive retailer. there's even an app to let you see what the furniture would look like in your garden. she novel and his counterparts in poland are good friends. a garden bench like this can easily cost 1500 euros. we're aiming to be a small and stylish brand to that. that helps raise awareness of the problem and also shows that old discarded objects can be turned into beautiful and unique furnishings immovable. his friends and poland are constantly coming up with innovative designs, like a rotor wing transformed into a wine cellar. when it comes to up cycling the sky's the limit. and there is no

shortage of turbine blades that need repurposing. why? the new generation of wind turbines are bigger and more powerful. modern turbines are temples of high tech filled to the brim with electronic components. and they promised to help solve the wind to waste problem. in 30 or 40 years, when these turbines go offline, they'll be more easily recycled into valuable raw materials. alanon. you're still about know, oh, good manufacturers are working on producing their components and so that they'll be easier to recycle. meaning in a way that's environmentally sustainable energy saving and cost saving needs in a g intensive me cost 100 percent recyclable turbine blades are the wave of the future. germany, for example, plants to install $1500.00 new wind turbines

a year. in a few decades, their aging blades will be mined for valuable raw materials, decimal and made of plastic sashes. these little packets might be handy, but they quickly land in the garbage bin, and they don't ross. in all web special, we chant the journey of such a sashay from the origins of the raw materials it's made from to its ends on the rubbish heap. we find out why the number of sessions is growing and why they're so lucrative for businesses. and so disastrous for our planets. find out more at d, w dot com slash plastic. so there's so much garbage that sometimes it can seem to be an insurmountable problem. recycling is one way of dealing with waste, but it's not always straightforward. and often it has to start at homes. so russia is preparing her family's beast for collection. left kitchen in

the drive is not a way to live with you. since 2017 families and tony have been responsible for separating their own beast. this is the right god. bless you, devine. and we keep bird kitchen this year. ah, this is the gum flush, genevine ready? it's dry. again, keep it in the blanks dank enough. then you're all and her family separate based into biodegradable or red based and dr. recyclable based this is left ranika with dry waste can be trashed altogether. but sarah and her mother a part of a project trying to separate dry beast further. i was separating dry inmate and when he had met on the water a little, i came to the new one last and gets

a really 2nd. for then i started, so segregating plastic, also. the family lives in an apartment in the city of tawny, on the edge of moon, by about a 3rd of the 300 households in that complex, regularly segregate that dry waist and give it to the angio summit mad at the us. b r. s b b. d and your picks up the drivers from the complex every 2 weeks residence can organize a pick up using a smartphone at tony's municipal authorities gave the induce initiative, project revitalization and official license to operate, and the city banks to its efforts introducing the amount of non biodegradable waste that would otherwise end up in landfills. as b v chief executive bottle, southern says the project has grown in the last 4 and a half years. it now collects from over a $100000.00 household indian diatanni region. but there were the equal mix, alo, ecology, alo, the issue of garbage is linked to many other questioner. economical,

ecological that social backgrounds will read more and the most crucial being circular economy. so we felt that if you addressed the issue of garbage that then there is a possibility of addressing these related issues as well as our malagon alumni. summit, part of the i speed runs project revitalization on a non profit model. it's sole source of revenue is owned by taking care of tiny as horticultural based workers, stone wood from feld and trim trees into fuel brackets which are sold back to the tiny municipal cooperation for using their boilers the endure. augments this revenue with contributions from local residents. now the owner conveyor belt system to sought the growing amount of daily garbage. the single and multi layer plastics are used to make by your oil people res decided and compressed. it is then send the specialist processor 27 women

handle the entire process. they used to work as we speakers at local dumping goals . looking at the dumb caddied, grave health risks, and there was no guide and didn't come. having a full time job with the angio allowed them to quit la garza by one good. we would get injured a lot. our feet could get cut. our hands would get pierced by syringes, nails and more. but we had to work that to an, a living that they own a got a at at north for decades, solid base and india has primarily ended up in open dumping sites like these. a city of 3000000 people, tiny produces a little over a 1000 tons of waste every day. like many of india cities, it faces going heaps of garbage without defective segregation. natania municipal corporation has sought to address this problem by making laws mandating composting of biodegradable beast within homes. but the cities efforts towards for the

segregation and recycling of dry waste are going slow. this is where project revitalization has filled the gap. it goes directly to citizens tanny's municipal commission of have been sharma, believes that public private partnerships can help to seduce its trash. i think he put his progress. he would laws on what enabling then more in enforcing. so it's always citizens participation, which makes a lot accessible or unsuccessful summit that'd be us. beat also regularly holds bookshops for school children in tani southern estimates about $60000.00 children have attended workshops at his integrated waste management project. i think our uniqueness is that what's unique about our approach is that we go directly to the people and tell them that this is our collective responsibility, which we have to take care of. i mean, if they think of the environment as theirs, while things can change little money. but for the thought,

a lot of southern smoke has gone of interest from neighboring cities like the industrial down of be monday. his team is already at work setting up the new blunt, the city has provided special trucks to help, but the pick up process. the mondays residence still have to learn to segregate at least at home. and then little by little southern stacks of sort of dry beast ready for recycling, with steady negro. it's not just about what we do with what we truly education and awareness reasoning are important in combating the world's waste problem. in khana office i using garbage itself to get the message out. typically, i'm okay with it for 10 years. now. musician david hubbard, c. wilson goes by the name took the gonna,

has been trying to mobilize people to clean up a cra, good breaking kid with global will listen to music that in and as tough in a day. a low voice would take a loaf um, advice and all so his permission for music basically, and also i see are so so appealing to actually use for creating awareness for david qu, mercy environmental activism is more than sitting in his small studio and sing every sunday he head to one of the beaches in the capital, a cra he works with a group of volunteers collecting the trash, cleaning up a single beach, takes hours. the volunteers sort the trash into different kinds of waste.

then they sell it to recycling companies. actually speak louder than words, i believe as a leader, i suppose to set the piece for others to follow. so i say okay, i'm willing to do this and make sure my fonts and my relatives are not as no community actually also see the example i'm trying to put as my effort that counsel john as to make jamica assessment. as sophie banton is another artist who collects trash here at the beach. in the midst of all the plastic bottles to davy came across a broken flotation device from a fishing net, which he'll be able to put to good use. whoa, whoa this. i collect crisis from the environment, the streets, the beaches, wherever i find, i collect trash and, and i converted into us visual arts. he lives in the city even prior soup,

about 100 kilometers macro. he designs installations and collages. the works pick up on themes from the light in the country. this one includes part of the flotation device. my message also talks about how we have distance our so from the environments go from a far distance. you see my way across a painting wick, a flat wick, have very beautiful athletic, but when you get close to it misses when you realize that you see a whole lot of trash. bunting also teaches at a high school. gonna has recently incorporated environmental education into its regular curriculum is in his classes. all banton teaches kids painting and talks about environmental topics. their future generation is the people who are willing to take good care of us. and we are old and, and out of people who are going to really care what environments in the near future

. so if we are not able to inculcate this type of idea in them, no, grew up not to really understand and loved environment. as susie bunton sometimes takes the students on field trips to day, they're paying a visit to his gallery where he presents his own works. some of them have suit very well. the yes is david comer, t in contrast, can't make a living just from his music. but he has made a difference. thanks to him and other volunteers across beaches are a little bit cleaner. now. god not gotten on in on it, but didn't do it young. i to know how doing it, but i mean not now there was no good with from art profession, one of the world's most polluting industries. it's estimated to be responsible for around 20 percent of global clean water pollution. but by recycling and finding

innovative new materials, that styles can also become more sustainable. let's take a look at some turkish fashion. designers who have come up with wearing interesting ideas. renewable energies in synergy with innovative design, peer fashion designer to buy atkin is showcasing her connection in. so let's talk in booster in north western tacky, a show full of energy come out there again the far we need to protect our coal values. but modernize them how good a get to make branch at the time for that has come the famed for video. sustainability is also the key feature of eci distance designs. she's considered a from delkin in the industry. i flyer who already won international prices for designs early on. if available giddily selected me as the most visionary designer of to see my 1st diploma collection. oh yolande, meisner kent as

a young designer who's just starting out such an award was of course a door opener, a copy of in him tonight. tuba again is considered a pioneer of sustainability on the turkish fashion, seen. she's been in the industry for over 20 years, best working for major fashion labels before launching her own brand. she experiments, choosing materials that aren't considered high quality, but rather industrial waste. she designed this back series made out of old car tires. yeah, cuz i thought i committed that i lived with this material for about 5 years. different festival car ties are very interesting in terms of the material. as you can see here, they have their individual textures. yes. sometimes there are patches on the burgundy. i'm a little there aren't any of this one your former here. i combined them with leather idiolect on, but i usually use vague and let authentic lenora at chiggers and is not content just to use recyclable materials. she wants to see

a radical change in thinking. 5 years ago, she founded the goose and institute, which aims to combine fashion, design, biotechnology and aunt to reach her vision. she's entered into thought the ships working with biologists, architects and artists to. but again, also believes that the time has come to rethink production processes in the fashion industry. info, lot of people are more aware now they know more. we're just going through the processes that should have happened a long time ago. i got that. are we giving back everything we have taken from nature so far? that data, right, is how i defined by design. perhaps it's a kind of apology. ah ha, gets in and to buy at game a new generation of design is putting sustainability at the center of that. we're living in

a world where there's no risk that might be an illusion. but it's what pinking about how to live more resource efficiently and the mob all develop creative ideas on how to deal with things that are no longer needed. i'll leave you with that and see you again next week from all of them in germany. good bye. and thanks for watching with ah, ah, with
