4:32 pm
a single day. begging i am full bodied anna. can i make the only way of being self employed afford letter been that freedom? 3 years ago, she was working 12 hour shifts in a storm quarry and learning a bit and see now she has her own electric picture that she has her own boss. with the deal fray, our garage formerly known as alabama, is located at the confluence of the ganges and the yamuna river in the northern state of what i believe it's home to some one and a half 1000000 people. let our beans life changed when a social enterprise helped her to become financially independent. since 2015, the company s m v green solutions has reached out to people who are marginalized due to their gender cast or class. it offers to don them into green entrepreneurs
4:33 pm
as either char, honors, and drivers. no hm. what i hand glad. my bagel was finance at her. so i didn't have to make the down payment myself ma'am, if we could pay the loan back at our own convenience. im installments of just copies 2000 autopay, still 1500 and my name. good. that way i paid back the loan in 4 months. it would be $15000.00 and daughter, but i mean until at 1 o'clock, if that's equal and off. 200 euro's now little been as one of some 130 female, either char drivers, and alter british who also on their vehicles. me directions provided by the social enterprise come briefly with cameras and gps tracking systems that are connected to local stations operating in 515 and what 10 villages across the state. the taxi service also affords greater freedom to the women who use it use
4:34 pm
it is customary that women will not move out to a market or to a hospital without a male member accompanying. now they are comfortable sending the women with the women, but i was meant that joseph or when this be a woman driver, we also feel better about traveling alone beneath. welcome back. green, quick transport options has never been more pressing in our garage, for example, about 80 percent of all commercial vehicles are diesel rickshaws. about 2 thirds of air pollution related deaths in india are associated with these illegals. can help counter that provider. they have many advantages. they never refuse to take passengers and eating shows cause no
4:35 pm
pollution at all. that's not completely true. electric richer like little beans, have vito emissions keeping cities cleanup. but the battery production process m. it's greenhouse gases and an india 70 percent of the energy required to reach out to legals come some cold. still there clearly a step in the right direction. every helix or able to save boom metric tons of carbon. but it has a method which is, you know, done by its competitive products like i see in the patrol article. and if you see with our customer base alone with 2500 people, we are having more than 5000 metric tons of carbon buddy. eating shows make up less than 10 percent of india auto industry, but s m b green solutions is optimistic. it has more than 2 and a half 1000. your char drivers across depredation, and possibly hard acquired vehicle ownership. that customers have
4:36 pm
a good return. second, the legal requirements are list, so most of the, the forgot permit free part. many states are now banning new registry offense and permit for the diesel and patrol or doors in the city. yet for the time being only a field of dry was switching from petrol or diesel vehicles to electric once habit and also people walk appear to be the main reasons for their reluctance. what is happening? introduce the market, is there out of fleet margins who have a fleet of $10.00 to $15.00? $200.00 exploits are told i am talking about it when i reckon and they went to the people on delhi high. they live until it's very hard for us all for a customer on the bottom, from my life community to deal with the with
4:37 pm
a stakeholder in april system. so dealing with the vehicle manufacturer, the dealing with the department dealing with the insurance company in film festival, stating bank loans and insurance to helping with paperwork with the regional transport office and also offering smart battery swap systems. the social enterprise is trying to make it as attractive, uneasy as possible to become an easy chair driver. loaded the beam and husband mckendra at a modern couple. they have a 4 year old son and shed a child care taking it and turns to go to work. my hands also dies and even shop on a living. he's always supported his wife in her work. but in a when s m. b green solutions told me that women were driving, eating shows these days, and i checked with my husband. he said, yes indeed they were. and he asked me if i was interested in learning and that he
4:38 pm
would help me. but only if i wanted to. i told him instantly, yes, i want to drive with most of the was transported by a big ships with the, with 70 percent of them as containerized cargo. but the international shipping industrial produces as much carbon dioxide each year as a big industrial countries like germany. our reporter done deeper into why shipping to means are going to move to transport goods between countries. take a look at your standard t shirt. where does it come from? the label says made in turkey, more mexico or bangladesh, but that's only part of its epic journey. the cotton probably comes from lubbock, texas. it's then woven, treated bleached, and died across the ocean in china, cut in stone into a t shirt and bangladesh sent back to the u. s. a couple of clicks later. it's
4:39 pm
traveling across another ocean, say to berlin, where it sold for for euros. 99. it sounds like madness, but it's actually shipping. shipping is so cheap that some aspects seem absurd. for example, it rains 247 in belgium, yet we buy our water and the ease. bottled in south pacific fish gets caught in the north sea, then goes phrase and asia where it split it, and it said back. but there is a hidden cost to these curiosities. the full price of shipping is being paid by the environment in relative terms, shipping is very efficient, transporting one ton of cargo em. it's 16 grams of c o 2 per kilometer. it's over 10 times that by road and by air it's a lot more. but in absolute terms, it's an absolute nightmare. is she a distance?
4:40 pm
is that mean that is a mission stack up and become a problem. lucy, gillian works for sees at risk and association of n g o's working to protect the oceans 80 cents. it ships abounding heavy fuel, no riches. i really think viscous. pillaging feel it's kind of, it's one step away from tom. and he day the industry emits as much as all the coal plants in the us. and just a bit less than aviation. but somehow shipping escape scrutiny. shipping is the only sector it doesn't pay for carbon pollution. find a bass off leads the shipping program at transport, an environment and enjo campaigning for cleaner transport. it's the only sector that doesn't pay taxes on the fossil fuels uses. it doesn't pay v recently
4:41 pm
global leaders, they agreed to impose 15 percent global minimum corporate taxation rate that was on one second. that was exempt as shipping. but how can that be given the scale ships handle some 90 percent of global trade? then there's a strange little enigma. imagine something going wrong on a japanese built american owned tanker. sailed by a philippine crew, managed by a cypriot sailing from china to canada and international waters. who do you blame? well, maybe panama, panama, marshall islands, liberia, bahamas, malta. this 5 countries, which you don't really, it's own on a daily basis, right? they're not really big powers in the global politics or even economics. they are the king makers when it comes to shipping. that's because of a system called flag of convenience. the practice began during the prohibition era
4:42 pm
selling alcohol in the usa was illegal, so passenger ship owners began registering their ships in panama, so they could serve drinks on board. the international maritime organization is the only body that can set policy for the entire sector. it's a un agency task with, among other things, fighting climate change, but as done the opposite. there are multiple reasons. first of all, at the imo members faith are normally represented by the ministry of transports. they want to promote shipping aviation and so on and so forth. climate, the environmental challenges that has not been traditionally speaking bear domain that the domain of the climate ministry or environment minister. so this is kind of structural problem and policies are rarely put to vote. the i m o prefers to rule by consensus, which gives louder voices, a de facto veto power, and number 3, industry has powerful lobbying associations, electricity, national delegations,
4:43 pm
and in many cases, put pressure on the governments. 30 percent of its representatives are not policy makers, but business people, the highest number in any un agency. ah managed build as a big ships to exploit economies. trade, the enabled industries to create one year a bikini and t shirts that it just said cheat that people think of them is disposable. and that's been facilitated by cheap shipping. that doesn't pay for it, please. ah, when it comes to emissions is absolutely no excuse how slow the shipping industry is being to address that. it's just, it's absolutely shameful. mm. but momentum for change is building, it's recognized that we can't so climate change with that will say so thing. but the emissions problem from shipping the european union is taking
4:44 pm
a leading role to force companies to reduce emissions. and innovation can be a huge help. more believe technology such as batteries for shorter since vessels, green hydrogen or getting hydrogen bays, fuels can fill that gap and fully to come in either sector. but it takes good timing and effort to turn a tanker around and the i m. o has displayed neither shipping hasn't shown that it can move swiftly when it comes to reforming itself. we're thing that is possible. it is doable, but it's not gonna happen on his own fan. it's the regulations that mandate switch to those sustainable behaviors. sustainable technologies on the shipping companies need to renew ships would be far more expensive, but at german conservation group has worked out that those for $99.00 t shirts would then cost just $0.02 more. sometimes small changes can leads
4:45 pm
to big results in kenya, for instance, fishermen were offered the chance to swap the engines on their boats from diesel electric baldwood. let's take a look at how much of a difference it's minstrel they work. and they said on dings. ah asked dusk fools, jared utter know hits out on to lake victoria. since he started using an electric motor, he and his team no longer have to breathe im exhaust fumes. and it's not as noisy either. or tina was one of the few fishermen here who started using an electric motor last year. it's much easier before he was constantly having to change gears or so. you have to be careful with their propeller dublin. so really to tubes. it might order me get contact with her manila you the 1st 3 all the gear saw removing. you'd have gum cumbersome reviews. one you

4:47 pm
the dutch started a sober, had to do a lot of math to develop this business model. they saw the batteries and motors from germany. here in kenya, they have technicians who take care of the repairs and maintenance. they also offer a 24 hour service. if there are problems on the water, the fishermen have to call their rescue number that we can resolve on call. but sometimes when their technical issues are not in a position to be solved during that time, we have to, we have to send out as to what to go, pull them back, or maybe change something, a component of the engine for that matter. the batteries are equipped with gps track is so that the boats can be precisely located in case of emergency. more than 15 fishermen have signed a contract with the company i saw as working to improve their offer to get more
4:48 pm
customers. it's made contact with companies in kenya and uganda that refurbish used batteries. these could be rented out to the fisherman at a cheaper rate. in the 2nd life batteries will make them more duleigh. so that also we might, we mimic the current operations of our customers, but if it were come on to war far, we give them more bodies. then we tried this rich, i'd feed but, but see like, you don't go far. we give you full batteries, you undergo short distance. we give you one or 2 batteries and you pay for what you are used. a soho as the 1st company in kenya to invest an e, mobility on water. and one of the few in general on the countries markets around $25000.00 bows out on lake victoria every day. and many of them belong to kenyan fishermen who used combustion engines, which pollute the lake and home the fish population. often the fishermen only get
4:49 pm
small silver sy printed from the lake and they catch quotas have also declined in recent years. jared or tina is wife and mother take care of the catch every morning, 1st drying it and then selling it as quickly as possible. the fish are the main source of income for the family of 12. they also the money to pay the school fees for their full children. and they've even managed to build a 2nd boat. jared atlanta wants to equip this one with an electric motor too. he has a plan for his family. i'm praying god willing that my children no to be fishing or so. so the sooner the better another's husband does, why? now i'm so i put in a 2 cushion for friday. would additional info from bare b if they're employed to become change my, our life. jared, atlanta has already persuaded some other fishermen to switch to electric motors
