you are these once you visit, you never forget it. a quarter between transformation and exploitation letter combines the modern day present with the traditional past. none of my friends has died about, so the thing does happen sometimes between education and tradition. between cosmopolitan slayer and captivating wilderness. the portrait of a desert state full of contradictions. guitar starts november 11th on d. w. ah . ah, convenience soon, fost fashion, online shopping. the culture of consumption has the entire planet drumming in west

. how can be printed the cycle of dig, make employ of it? that's what we're diving in. totally healed on eco, india. hello and welcome. i'm son that the wife produces more than 2000000000 tons of waste every year. a lot of it is food packaging, but it also includes masses of goods that are thrashed within 6 months of purchase . the zeal waste movement calls for reducing and reusing products to conserve natural resources and cut when you ship. we found signs, yard in india and that it's catching on with even bollywood jumping on the wagon. a mammoth is. huh. is the local jack of all trades around these neighborhoods of south 30 or so larry bell? could i repair gas butler's pressure, good mix, the dot zip,

soft jackets and gene. i'd appeared many things, jacket, crap, and again, sky sometime laughing merchants likes hog, we're one so much more common site in big cities going door to door, fixing anything people don't do the extended coat. and when those items broke that fixed them again. but things have been changing and in as the practices of question, convenience culture have taken group. one indicator of this is the amount of phase the country now produces. it is estimated that india generates over a $150000.00 tons of solid waste every day, which is not as much as some western countries. but this is likely to go up to more than doubled by 2025. and the volumes continued war ice because a year on the year were adding on new kinds of face. i think the western composition also is shifting their new materials coming into history. then you also added with of more of batteries, more of a c and for lights more and they don't have

a separate management system. so there has been a lot of services and a lot of focus on trying to enforce or implement or encourage people on. so segregation, so segregation has been people collect solid and wet rate separately. at the 1st instance, the low rate of this practice across indian city is a matter of concern. equally immensely waste management authorities in union, cities have the priority dispute. the majority of its funds go into collection and transportation with little left for managing and processing the waste one industrial that generates massive amounts of vis, disbelieving from the set itself. the catering services that provide free meals a day for large numbers of people. usually it goes directly to the dumb, but something different is happening on this film saturday. so basically we have all or crew of it on, on 50 that we have on set every day and as

a filled in global on blunder, goofy, i foolish people really bothered, but these guys of mutual, that people get done all. now even if the people don't understand the process, the occasional and then we, we have to beans and though we need to be segregated room, vivia of each 100 owns to company managing risk at the shoe. it's called, it's grant and she started it in 2017 and just the through. she was like this would generate any way of between 15000 to put the 1000 kinda was up least on an average. we've seen a shoot jen face about it didn't have anything noise. every single month is crops. first project was at the weekend and it's 7 music festival. a 2 day concert with the company managed over 7 tons of trash processing over 80 percent of it, which would have otherwise gone to a landfill. divvy out of johnson himself says she only produces 100 grams of

garbage a year trying to live a 0 wrist lifestyle has said 0, which is a philosophy that aims to produce as live you, garbage disposal, an idea. none at all. problems apply this approach to all aspects of life. avoiding food raised switching to lu, i, mission, treble and reusing my duties to keep them out of land fees are dumping grounds. 2016. a massive fire broke out in the nice deal and i don't mean it's higher the chocolate. oh, really the 1st time i looked inside my been and asked myself, where did this trash illegal dumping down and why it was on fire? on the set of for netflix dylan called jumpy got got it all shippy. this crap team is not just separating rubbish. it is also teaching risk management. one way to reduce the volume of garbage produced is to replace bluster, but more sustainable material. when you look at a lot of things,

these bluffton is replaceable. they're not as n shield. they are only because we haven't applied. i was so very effectively, and that is why we continued use it scrapped works to close the gap by donating any left over, but other be food from event to partner. and i thank m systems that we distribute the food among the door 100 children, and 300 families from what we received. he tried to ensure that all the food is evenly distributed to the children. about $3040.00 children have gone to the field did tell him what to lou. it's ox income and the livelihood of merchants like him on the decline. with the philosophy, the poll is more relevant than ever. cutting down on waste requires a multi pronged approach.

rediscovering grace in which things can be re purpose. like in the old days, we play an integral room as we attempt to dig awesome some of the mess we have created. la separating household waste is common practice in germany, which is widely loaded as a worldly cycling champion. but a surprisingly large shade of the countries plastic packaging has ended up on the other side of the gilbert. our rebuttal shed some light on the dark side of the global trade in garbage. these containers sitting in a port in manila, almost triggered a war. they were full of garbage including used adult diapers. and the philippines refused to let them into the country. president rodrigo, do territory just told, you know, that he has one week for its war. after rotting in the sun for nearly 6 years,

canada finally took its waste back and burned it. it made headlines everywhere and revealed the dark underbelly of the global plastic waste network. it's a dr. would corruption run by private traders and fly by night establishments and interpol found that it could be worse. we often find the same names linked to other crimes. money, wandering tax evasion, fraud. it's all the same criminals and the currency driving it all. is plastics? crap. i want to find out more about what's going on, but everybody on speaking do seems to be answering in court. so how does the global plastic way straight even work? and how can we get out of this mess and good china? by the ninety's, china was becoming the world's manufacturer every day, shipping containers carrying all sorts of products with journey to the u. s. and europe. but when they returned empty, they became serious financial opportunity. the west consumed

ah, collected the twist and ship it out of sight to china. china recycled? what had good and sent back new products for more consumption. and this cycle was on repeat and it was dirt cheap, for example, one u. s. trader told me that even in 2010 what it costs around $85.00 to dispose of a ton of waste domestically and costly. 35 to ship a ton of the china. could there be, as we did usually when low grade are contaminated, plastic was sent to china. either cheap labor was needed, assorted. i'd had to be dumped and burned within a few years. several chinese towns near landfills and insulation side salad complaining of polluted air and water. cancer rates rose so by 2018 china had had enough effectively banned all plastic waste inputs. and

the world had lost as number one recycle. but china was per bed. the recycling industry was established and the country was now producing enough waste domesticated supply its own draw materials for recycling. so boston, the rest of the world was scrambling. some waste was burnt within the country's, but shipments of garbage still needed to find new destinations. and they found them soon enough in countries coasted china lake militia, individual pilot hank june, is a campaigner with greenpeace, and militia, the country that became the leading importer at the time. india is the 4th biggest importance. so greenpeace, along with citizens are now demanding that the west sup, using them as the waste dumps of the world. especially the rich, richer country, or just local ways. i bet it to the global soccer and end of quarter shipping the problem to globally. but here's where it all got really market. you consciously

cycle, eddie? lastly, they come griggs, but you can tell by looking at the bottom of the container and each grade needs to be recycled on his own in a specific reciting plans. it only makes sense to recycle hybrid plastic life, a shampoo bottle or a detergent container because what comes out on the, on the side still has value. but things like styrofoam that food comes in can never be recycled. which means that only amused once misses, you know, let's say a container full of plastic. you honey grossman, looks into corruption and environmental related businesses around the was the government is going to pay no, no $1000.00. i'm just making lucy groups to recycle it. and then the company says, okay, we're not actually going to recycle it. so we're going to keep a $1000.00. and then we're going to spend $500.00 to send the container. we're going to need somebody $1000.00 in indonesia to make it disappear. and then we still have to have those dollars crossing that something like that. and companies

in asian countries are willing to take the plastic in local waste collection is much less developed here. and so clean plastic can be used to feed the upcoming recycling industries. but here's where laws can be broken. the massive convention is international treaty that stipulates which plastics can and can't be traded. it says for example, that contaminated a low grade, plastics need special permission from the receiving countries, governments before they can be shipped. but independent investigators found that plastic tree does have discovered ways to bypass this 1st ways shipment can be mislabeled and passed through customs tech in the west. and then companies and developing countries who offer to take in low grade or unsorted plastic, find ways to smuggle it back to local authorities. even if checks take place they can be evaded. and so the most obvious when which corruption comes into play is to bribe officials to allow you to import that west. once aloud into the

country, traders, me to find a way to make money from the bad plastic investigators found unsuitable disposal, including into rivers, landfills and plantations, along with cheap labor to be the main modus operandi. so basically the same things that happen in china, but there's even more criminal entity in this the criminals are relying money laundering techniques, and this typically would take the form of a legal waste company that would engage in both legal and illegal trades and then mix the payments across these 2 business lines. i also had foundation has investigated the role of money laundering at tax fraud across the waste trade industry for environmental crimes is a particularly effective strategy because it can be very difficult for is in the private sector to distinguish between legal and illegal trades proceeds from the illegal waste trade could be up to $12000000000.00 annually. and waste

trafficking. many of the profits remained in the exporting countries with importing countries only generating part of the profits from resale or re use of certain waste from 2021. the basel convention toughened regulations. more types of plastic were banned. but environmental asleep, the still doesn't go far enough. if we leave the door slightly open, some one won't go straight. back on domains group fight for environmental justice. in november 2021 in the lobby. the german government to halt waste exports to vietnam, on average a boston and germany generates up to 2 kilograms of trash body. so can the european union deal with its own waste output? mm. you, it's supposed to have the best voice, my natural infrastructure in the world. and we know the shipping countries where

the waste management structure is not so dropped if we don't have to countries to which we ship, it definitely does not have his group 0 waste. europe says western countries have to develop their own recycling systems like china did. but saw to emerging economies like india or militia, wherewith generation is rising, domestic and local recycling needs to be made a priority. but for the recycling industry to be able to catch up, the main things that need to be cut down is how much plastic we produce, consume and throw away in the 1st place. well in the west, plastic ends up in landfills that are feeding grounds for birds. scientists, tracking seagulls of been, have found evidence that the particles don't just pause

a threat to the animals. but the environment and people to waterproof clothing is a must here. andy green and victor martin, nor biologists. if they're looking for c goals than a lagoon called winter to pierre dra, it's located between mile a guy in seville, and spain. but hazelton, regarding the order that i, after i've been fond of them in the meantime with yes as the years by you learn to appreciate these animal law society gives them a bad rap, but their intelligence surprises us again and again, e barrett. oh that her bremen movement and hand that gets all most of the birds over wintering here are lesser black fact goals. the migratory birds come here and there are thousands during the fall from colder climbs in the north. but there's something wrong with more dead goals than usual. didn't your plastic?

oh, yes, maybe grandmas better the rest of their plastic, asked the bahamas for finding bits of plastic all over the place. i thought of this for examples. a bottle little of that boy. yeah. here's a chicken bone from what he says of glass, part of a bottle. not ever yet were in a conservation area, but there were many migratory birds spend the winter. it hadn't even been on this, please. i la, we're not at risk from high levels of contamination. for law has done here, i don't, i mean, i think, well, it's the goals themselves that are bringing in the garbage. in their stomachs they leave it behind in their excrement and vomit. to latonya switch into new to the mid eighty's. no black back goes over, wintered here, so they were only present on the coast to leave. okay, boy and then they learned it was much easier to find food in london at the rubbish dumps that have appeared here. oh,

the ritual is the same. each morning. flocks of birds arrive at the landfills, goals, storks, and other waterfowl. so the rubbish doesn't stay in the landfill. but biologist victors, as humans are to blame, not the birds to this day 90 percent of garbage and, and a loose dia isn't separated until it arrives at the open landfills. victor takes the samples from the lagoon to a laboratory and seville. and yet again, his colleague who leon, con, oh, can see particles, a plastic through his microscope. the researchers fear it's a dangerous cycle. there been a lot of the matter more tell the thing to deal with other animals that hunt these contaminated waterfall. now if i were end up eating the foreign objects as well, it does with on the higher the europe, the food chain of the more we the actually to let her body of elegant, the other that as you and humans might be at the top of that chain, it's not just micro plastics that pose a threat. chemicals,

antibiotics and pathogens are even more harmful. talk with o santos. both. those octavius, multi resistant bacteria are the biggest problem, feel, think of hip with an important goals. bring the antibiotics and germs into the wetlands where they're transferred to other species of birds. we sit on the whole ducks at flying to cities and parks off a little bonus. come up with a couple of bottles. kayla will by no loss of pockets will bundles. the goals repeatedly provide them with new clues. thanks to the birds detective instincts, the scientists have made some unsavory discoveries. come within a no not moment that we did accidentally. we noticed that was hurting him, flying off a certain direction, a friend as the other had to be something attracted them at yahoo dot old. so he went to have a little of i can find an illegal dog or not gothic. if at the army and the air at home, but they live out. so despite their bad reputation,

the goals are inadvertently doing their bed for the environment. no wonder they hold such fascination for these biologists. best and made of plastic sashes. these little packets might be handy, but they quickly learned in the garbage bin and they don't roles. in all web special, we chant the journey of such a sashay from the origins at the moment here, meals it's made from to its ends on the rubbish. we find out why the number of such hayes is growing and why they're so lucrative for businesses. and so disastrous for alternatives. find out more at d. w dot com slash plastic from garbage in the landfills of spain, waste from online shopping. and i'm not talking about all the packaging. and amazon logistics center in germany has been accused of destroying return merchandise, the practice of band in germany. so what retailers do with unsolved stock?

let's find out. an amazon logistic center in germany filmed by greenpeace undercover the video is said to show brand new clothing being destroyed. it triggered a storm. is a feminist, destroying new products, destroying resources isn't tenable. in a climate crisis, per the greenpeace campaign called out the online giant and raised awareness of the problem of waste. the year exterior, valuable resources go into making clothes. one garment comes into contact with up to 3000 different chemicals during production. cuba, on the simplest, white and taisha requires 2700 liters of water. thus, one of hurtful drinks in 2 and a half years hockey creek. the problem with online retail is that a lot of products get sent back. processing them isn't always worthwhile for the company. every year, 20000000 items are destroyed and germany alone. logistics expert beyond us,

decker did the math and came up with that number. so our online retailers had biggest problem a line of will to hand brick and mortar stores still have a higher sales volume than online retailers. those. those do see fewer returns on somebody on the other hand, up, their amount of surplus stock left over is huge. in the opposite and the industry has grown rapidly before the pandemic, the average person in germany spent more than $900.00 euros on clothing a year. that's a market volume of 76000000000 euros, most of which was spent on fast fashion divorce. so it was the clothing giants that offer low price fashion that saw matt grows on. this being able to dress fashionably for little money. it is very attractive for many people. often, especially young people who don't earn so much with the pandemic, was

a huge shock to retailers. germany had 3 locked downs in between. shops were offering cut prices to get rid of stock. still, retailers were left with mountains of unsold clothes, winter collections, for example, that can't be sold in the summer. it's because i'm a total of $800000000.00 new colonies when the so it's the so called corona collection. i collect it's completely unclear what will happen with then. many retailers a saying they plan to destroy them. i gave the see if i bought. but the mass destruction of new products is actually banned under german law. to loans industry . it's complete nonsense. greenpeace doesn't need to worry. we don't know of a single case where brand new clothes that could still be sold or been destroyed. we don't know all 20000 companies and can't look behind every door. there may be a few cases, but we're not aware of any anytime fire. amazon also feels wrongly accused and issued a statement. the number of product sold and shipped by amazon that have to be disposed

of is only a few for 1000. and we're working hard to keep reducing the number items may be donated, sold at a loss, put in storage or recycled. retailers often pass that work on to other companies. so it's not always easy to trace where textiles end up. when he has to be american, or if he went to conduct a study on the disposal of surplus stock by stores or the disposal of corona surplus, no one would cooperate because all these things get hushed up wednesday often that it was only last year that germany toughened up its laws, making the disposal of goods that are new or as good as new officially illegal. the law is mainly designed to create greater transparency, but well at work. almost at some sac. nothing is. this law only applies to retailers and manufacturers, and all the middle men platforms,

and disposal firms in betweens are not included on the monkey. so in many cases, the law will remain a paper tiger that is at a future and thomas so what can make a difference? maybe we don't need so many new clothes. people in germany on an average of $95.00 garments each and $1.00 and $5.00 of them never gets warned. domestic every day. activism is the best way to protect the environment. you don't find new all the time with, with electronics books and close. you can borrow rent, share swapped. there are lots of models, but they knew state support. the only problem shopping. it's still on number one, hobby in germany. we have but one planet where we can survive and thrive. all the waste we generate is right here. it isn't going anywhere anytime soon, which is why we need to make the decision to really recycle and reduce if we don't

want this waste to overpower us or future generations. think about that and i'll see you again next week from all of us in germany and india, goodbye. and thanks for watching ah with ah, with
