ah, as we take on the world 8 hours, i do all this weird all about the stories that matter to you whatever it takes to find policeman follow. being paid to go here we are, your is actually on fire made for mines. ah, ah ah. ah, convenience, fast fashion, online shopping. the culture of consumption has the entire planet drowning in west

. how can be break the cycle of death make and full 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 trash within 6 months of purchase. the zito waste movement calls for reducing and reusing products. dickens of natural resources and cut to pollution. we found signs, yard in india, and that it's catching on with even bollywood jumping on the wagon a how much is, huh, is the local jack of all trades around these neighborhoods of south 31st, or larry belk, idabel gas butler's pressure cookers mix, the dogs zips off deck sent gene ida appear. many things jagger cap engine sky is

sometime lateral merchants like it's hot. we're one so much more common site in big cities going door to door fixing anything people don't to the extent they could. and when those items broke, the fix them again. but things have been changing and then as the practices of preston, convenience, culture uptake and route one indicator of this is the amount of phase to country now produces. it is estimated at 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 continuity rise because a year on the year were adding on new kinds of phase. i think the western composition also is shifting their new materials coming in to waste stream. then you also added with of more of batteries, more of a c. and for lights more of 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 red red separately. at the 1st instance, the loaded of this practice across indian city is a matter of concern. equally impossible, waste management authorities in union, cities have priority. this cute, 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, disbeliever from the set itself to 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. busy or could all of it on 150 that we have on set every day and as of global on blunder,

goofy, i foolish people really bothered by these guys of mutual that people get done or not even of the people who don't understand the process, their keys northern yes, we have to beans and though we need to be segregated room, vivia, are we johnson owns to company managing risk at the shoot? it's called this grant, and she started in 2017. and typically she would like this would generate anywhere between 15250000 kinda was least on an average. we've seen a shoot gen faith about it to them haven't, can always, every single not is crops. first project was at the weekend and it's 7 music festival. a 2 day concert with a company managed over 7 tons of trash processing, or what 80 percent of it, which would have otherwise gone to a landfill. vivian johnson herself says she only produces 100 grams of garbage a year trying to live

a pseudo rest. lifestyle has said 0, which is a philosophy that aims to produce as live you, garbage, disposal, and id. none at all. problems apply this approach to all aspects of life. avoiding food raised switching to low emission travels and we're using materials to keep them out of land. on dumping grounds. 2016. a massive fire broke out in the nice deal and i don't think it's higher the chocolate overly. but the 1st time i looked inside my been and asked myself, where did this trash illegal? a dumping ground and why it was on fire on the set of netflix dylan called john b got got it all should be the scrap theme is not just separating rubbish. it is also teaching risk management. one way to reduce the volume of garbage produced is to replace blasted, but more sustainable materials. when you look at

a lot of thing, abuse, bluffton is replaceable. they're not on ascend shield. they are only because we haven't applied our some very effectively. and that is why the continued use it scrapped works to close the gap by donating any leftover but adobe soup from evince 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 food, dallas mckinley. ah, it's ox, income and the livelihood of merchants like him on the beginning. but the philosophy, the uphold, is more relevant than ever. cutting down on waste requires a multi pronged approach

rediscovering grace in which things can be repos like in the old days, we play an integrity room as we attempt to dig also out of the mess we have created . la separating household waste is common practice in germany, which is widely lauded 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 a dock 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 deter tae just told you know that he has one week or its war after rotting in the sun for nearly 6 years. canada finally took its waist back and burned it. it made headlines everywhere and

revealed the dark underbelly of the global plastic waves network. it's a drive with corruption ran 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 did 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 us and europe. but when they returned empty, they became a serious financial opportunity. the west consumed oh,

collected its west and shipped it out of sight to china. china recycled? what had good and sent back new products for more consumption. and this cycle was one repeat and it was dirt cheap. for example, one u. s. trader told me that even in 2010, what it cost around $85.00 to dispose of a ton of waste domestically. it got only $35.00 to ship a dana with the china. could there be, as we did the usually when low grade or 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 incineration 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. their recycling

industry was established and the country was now producing enough waste domesticated supply. its own draw materials for recycling. so pause than the rest of the world was scrambling. some waste was burnt within the countries, but shipments of garbage still needed to find new destinations. and they found them soon enough in countries goes to 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 than the west sub 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 dearly marks. you consciously cycle 80 plus they come in griggs,

that 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 plant. it only makes sense to recycle hydride plastic life. a shampoo bottle powder 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 recycle. which means that only amused once mrs. you know, let's say a container full of plastic. you honey grossman, looks into corruption and environmental related businesses around the world. the government is going to pay on the $1000.00. i'm just making the 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'd still have to have $1000.00 process 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 checks in the west. and then companies and developing countries who offer to take in low grade r unsorted plastic, find ways to smuggle it back to local authorities, even if jacks take place they can be evaded. and so the most obvious when which corruption comes into play is to bribe officials or 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 energy 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 hot foundation has investigated the role of money laundering a tax fraud across the waste. trade industry for environmental crimes is a particularly effective strategy because it can be very difficult for a 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 as see the still doesn't go far enough. if we leave the door slightly open, someone won't go screwed viet cong 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. stuff are feeding grounds for birds. scientists tracking see goals of spin have found evidence that the particles don't just cause

a threat to the animals. but the environment and people to waterproof clothing is a must hear andy green and victor martin, nor biologists. i thought they were looking for seagulls in a lagoon called winter to pierre dra. it's located between malagon, seville, and spain. as a local can regarding the order i asked, i've been fond of them in the meantime. 5th. 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 get 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 climes in the north. but there is something wrong. more dead goals than usual. didn't your plastic?

yes, maybe grandma's bears rest of their plastic asked. abraham doesn't finding bits of plastic all over the place, but if this, for example, is a bottle little boy you, here's a chicken boon from pieces of glass, part of a bottle. not ever yet were in a conservation area, but there were many migratory birds spent the winter in be i'm not about this, please. i law were not at risk from high levels of contamination for law has been neurotic. and i mean, i think why 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 no till the mid eighties. no black back goes over, wintered here, double. they were only present on the coast to leave the boil, then they learned it was much easier to find food inland o 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 biologists 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 in seville. and yet again, his colleague who leon, con, oh, can see particles, a plastic through his microscope, the researcher's fear, it's a dangerous cycle there, but out 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, the, the more we see a shimmy leak in our body, us yelling and the other that i to and humans might be at the top of that jane. it's not just micro plastics that pose a threat. chemicals,

antibiotics and pathogens are even more harmful. talk with the thomas posters about teddy's multi resistant bacteria. are the biggest problem feel people if, when 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. up on the foot bonus, come up with a bramble of bottles. kayla will buy 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, i know not moment that we did finale, we noticed was hurting him, flying all faster, some direction, a friend as the other had to be something attracted them at yahoo dot also went to have a little of i can find an illegal died or not that gothic, if at the army and the air at home at their level. 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 sashay. these little packets might be handy, but they quickly learned in the garbage bin and they don't roles. in all web special, we chose 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 shays 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 long frills 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 is banned in germany. so what retailers do with unsold stock?

let's find out. an amazon logistic center in germany filmed by greenpeace. under cover, 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 tangible. in a climate crisis. per the greenpeace campaign called out the online giant and raised awareness of the problem of waste. to here takes t 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 bureau as decker did the math and came up with that number. so our

online retailers, the biggest problem allied off will to hand brick and mortar stores still have a higher sales volume than online retailers. those stores do see fewer returns on that button. 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. and 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, wendy. so it's the so called corona collection or collect it's completely unclear what will happen with then. many retailers are saying they plan to destroy them. i gave the seed bought. but the mass destruction of new products is actually banned under german law. to long as it's complete nonsense green piece 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. if there may be a few cases, but we're not aware of any time housing 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. but if you were to conduct a study on the disposal of surplus stock by stores, that all the disposal of corona surplus, no one would cooperate. because all these things just get hushed up when she's 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 while it work, almost at some sac, nothing is this law only applies to retailers and manufacturers. and all the middleman platforms and disposal firms in betweens are not included on the monkey.

so in many cases, the law will remain a pipe at taiga, that is at a future in tunnels. 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. don't wind new all the time with, with electronics books and close. you can borrow rent, share swapped. there are lots of models, but they need state support. the only problem shopping is 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, 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
