i need to stop monitoring and depressing net fighting against sexism, violence, and full access to abortion. pressure from the street has already proven successful . that opposition is on the rise. fed up with menchie's, dots november 25th on d w. ah . was centuries, new buildings have been a symbol of progress and economic prosperity. but construction to be is a major source of waste and environmental degradation. you know, vsl strapped what should be really start every new project from scratch. join us as

we explore the question on equal yeah, to me. hello, welcome. i'm son that i bills demolish, repeat. it's a cycle that generates mountains of debris around the world, debris that ends up in landfills, a was in the environment. that material actually harbor great recycling potential in destined reels is only amigo, one percent of its construction and demolition wrist. our report. i hid the streets of delhi to find out why ah, the 100 meter high super tech towers in neither city reduced to rubble in less than 10 seconds. this video is from the guardian newspapers online site. ah, 3700 kilo's of explosives were used to demolish 850 apartments.

the supreme court ordered the destruction after a ruling that the towers had been constructed illegally. the resulting 80000 tons of construction raised are now being dealt with by re sustainability. it's one of the few construction and demolition waste recycling plans in india's national capital region. the center recycled $800.00 tons of waste here each day. there. thank you. i'm an ard, i 30 there. are they to mitigate? we'd been commissioned by the noise authority to process 28000 tons of waste from the time tower demolitions on scientific triggers abroad. as irma process actor processing aggregate nicholas, we will sell the aggregates in tile form on the open market. we're gonna go market, nobody fill out them. these won't be turned into new apartment like in a proper circular economy, but they can be used for building roads and foot bots every day. several trucks

transport trouble from the demolition site to the recycling center. the rubble includes concrete seaman asked board and plotting 1st, the wooden plastic are separated out by hand. then the machines move in. this is our vibrator screen. after the material gets crushed, this machine segregates the materials based on their sizes like 51030 and 40 millimeters. in the construction sector, gender, it's around $150000000.00 tons of waste each year. yet, just one percent of it is processed and reused with disastrous consequences for the environment of me. and i'm going to say in, in the go on very often who either go on order or do anything improperly before off through evolution. the 2nd go, i'm going to and is the impact it has on increasing the disaster effect?

golf glamour. lot of this is very often done. been grueling. it is in floodplain. what this does, is it called water? is it up the usual low water prison and that increases the the severity of blood of cycle and off, not just under a 3rd of the solid. we've produced in india's open areas comes from the construction, industrial building and demolish and race like this is often done illegally. that's what this group of volunteers is looking for on a walk about. so deli marilyn neighborhood, the hindi ward for such waste is melba. i feel walking along the fantasy, there's a lot of my mother linda's from the modem project, photograph the bible fleet, and send the images to the parties to request its bravo disposal. the city both $200.00 collection points and 5 reciting centers for such waste. all the sites are

marked on a digital map created by the mailbox. they're marked with blue and green points for that. and in the end, we have the illegal dumping points from mobile. and these were what the residents were sent to us. so they would click photos of money by which was maybe dumb dough said their house. we told people that if you see illegally in your neighborhood, please report it to us so that we can put it on the map so that at least we can take it to the mtv and sort of make a very strong case that here, this needs to be cleaned up and then it is up to the municipal cooperation of delhi, the m city to take care of it. back in 2016, the federal environment ministry. such waved money be collected and crosses em city as introduced fines for illegal dumping for residence and non residence. it also

offers financial incentives to encourage recycling whenever anybody can sell the house. so we ever started taking charges for management of this year and with the condition that if you would give me the receipt that we send this the individual to the facility, then we will return that money. and is it use money? not very small money. when can they think even then the out out for you can see that sex is, is ready. although there are $100.00 collection points spread across the whole city . most construction companies dig the easier route and dump illegally. the employ, informal rece, collectors to do their dirty work at night to avoid being seen the risky work is barely even recompensed. their business line of people. they want to save money. they want to make money. they're making that ends meet an illegal dumping does not

make it can all make sense for them. they would rather sell their money back to someone who would you the toilet back, failing. only when they're not able to find on that blister dump is then out of desperation because they have to do a certain number of trips per day. ah, in order to meet their financial attire, get to break even. there is still no end to end demolition collection and transportation system for construction, waste, recycle, and cure yet that's essential for a proper circular economy. there's a long road ahead. and so the mulberry project volunteers look certain to have their work cut out for a good while yet. from the outset, most new buildings are not conceived with sustainability in mind. now that i'm growing calls for the construction industry to adopt a more thought toola model. and to take its cue from nature where there's no such

thing as whist. these german buildings don't only look modern, but they might also pave the way to a circular future. they're built according to the cradle to cradle concept. the idea is to replace our cradle to grave economy, where we take, make and waste, with a circular one where the products are designed in a way that its materials can be reused over and over again. normal sophie griffon is the founder of the cradle to create a lab. it's an n g o dedicated to spreading circular, regenerative design, thinking across industries. politicians and designers welcome to their cradle to cradle app. you can come in here. we start here. if you see like from the lamps that you can see and it's from a mushroom material totally fall by logical cycles, according to the concept nor was or v griffon's. father michel brown got and his

colleague william mcdonough created everything we built must go to either what they call the biological cycle or the technical cycle. that means the materials used to build the products need to decompose, thus becoming nutrients for the soil or dismantled to become what they call technical nutrients and re used and other products. so we have an s. so in here, right, you can see a lot of products that are already produced in a credit trader manner is flooring. and you can see if i move, i can actually take it with me. pretty cool that you don't need to do this. it is made out from a packing material flowing as an a credit cray, not the best idea to do that because quite difficult to disassemble. the lab uses these carpets that are totally made of recycled fibers and it's not glued. and you can bring it back to the company and they can recycle it and make it totally new.

carpet out of lovers, of your grief on argues that there are a lot of natural alternatives to most of our commonly used toxic products. this is quite interesting because it's like a mature that you cannot just, hey, from the inclusion you don't need actually to change it a lot so called them tune balls are basically dead sea grass that could be collected on shores and used as a high quality insulation material on these examples seem perfect and relatively easy to implement, but we need to change the way we have built our homes and priorities for the past decades. 50 years ago, we knew that there are negative environmental consequences if we have certain building habits. so in the beginning be had felt that we require new knowledges to be able to build appropriately. but right now we have a different problem. professor arnold palmer condo is an award winning architect,

mostly known for her sustainable projects. like these ones. when standardization is being imposed, then the must have the courage to question the limits of standardization. and the construction sector is especially standardized and rigorously conservative. some practices haven't changed in centuries. but take concrete, for example. it's the 2nd most used material in the world, only after water. if it was a country, it would have been the world's 3rd largest carbon polluter. after china and the u. s. last year, we produced 4400000000 metric tons of concrete. according to the u ends projections at this rate, we would be producing enough concrete to build the entire city of paris every week for the next 40 years old. that is a lot of concrete. and for several reasons, this material is not widely recycled. a big one is standardized,

bad practices says marcel oser, a circular engineer focused on cradled to greater applications in the construction sector. if you use jason lester, all concrete uncomfortable is. wiley looks good, so it will fit the purpose. but i will use the quality of the concrete by not being able to use it later. so, gypsum plaster makes the concrete on recyclable. but a similar looking silicon base plaster doesn't affect the re usability of the concrete. or let's look at steel, a universally used material in construction that could have an infinite life cycle . just a simple decision to use bolted connections rather than welded joints will allow the structure to be dismantled, making it easier to reuse the materials. it's all about designing smarter. while these individual solutions are amazingly easy to implement, unfortunately,

they alone will not be enough to make the construction sector, environmentally friendly, says, nor will so, fee grief on though we need the market. we need the politicians. and we need this society to go for these ideas, and i think we are already in a state where our society sees that we need to do something different. so crater to crater can show the solution how this is actually possible. cradle to cradle is not a miraculous idea. it's just a guide for us to think and build in cycles. just like nature does blue. when it comes to prestige projects, developers like to start with a clean slate. but if a single new structure already impacts the environment, the construction of an entire city is a whole different dimension. indonesia is pushing ahead with an ambitious plan, relocated capital from flood prone to cotton eye report. i wanted to know is that

when a good o home to over 10000000 people, indonesia, capital jakarta has a problem, the city is sinking by around 25 centimeters every year. some scientists predict that the metropolis will be completely submerged by 2050. that's why the government is creating a new capital from scratch. news and tara is being built on the nearby island of borneo futuristic looking buildings covered by renewable energy or no under construction implementation is sub paula. rather than being a model city, for instance, it's going to be a distress. the idea of moving the capital was 1st proposed in the 1980s during the si heartwood dictatorship. but it was only in 2019 that president jo,

cool with dough to approve the $33000000000.00 construction of a new capital on the east coast of borneo. it was the capital is not just a symbol boil or just the nations identity, but also the representation of the nation's progress to me that this is for economic justice inequality. for the vision of an advanced indonesia. yeah. my to with the move, the president wants to boost development in regions that have been economically left behind. ah, said tara, which will be roughly twice the size of new york city, will cover over 2500 square kilometers in the province of east cali mountain. the area is currently covered in eucalyptus plantations. the government says no protected forests will be touched. according to the plan, newson tartar will be a green i, per connected digital utopia in the middle of

a lush landscape. it will be field entirely by renewable sources of highly accessible public transportation and 75 percent of it will be covered in green space. it's a massive undertaking. indonesia, as shy away from expressing is hunger for one life station and industrialization. it has been taking a very many approach to achieving dream of it from here to the high income country . more than half of indonesia, g d. p comes from java island, where jakarta is located. experts say that moving the capitol. ready is just part of a bigger development strategy, which is to jumpstart, to green industrial economy in the cali mountain part of indonesia. this is why several dams are being built. the government is constructing 5 hydropower stations on the river chaos to speed up industrialization. north of new and tara president with dodo is planning the world's biggest green industrial park. indonesia also has

the largest nichol deposits in the world and raw material that the booming e car industry urgently needs the new capital as part of a wider development plan. but there is the price to pay the move will displace indigenous people, make up 20 percent of indonesia population. at least 20000 people from 21 indigenous scripts are at risk. property prices are already surging in nearby bolick python and indigenous residents are angry. and bring the rules from jakarta, but these rules don't fit here. we're being offered just a fraction per square meter of the price of land and new capital area. what if we sell? where can we buy land again? anywhere around here is impossible. they are slowly driving us out of gara movie.

mika, bar new is also home to many endangered species, including the pr boscus monkey barney and gibbon. and soon doub hangal in the barney and rang, aton in particular, has faced a huge decrease in population and will be severely affected by the construction work. the b will be like a consultation gate to the capital area, right? if the watergate, the capital e, and on the same time, it is where all of those products that species are there, east cali mountain is rapidly losing its forest to industries like palm oil and logging. also disappearing our mon grooves, and pete lens, which are important carbon sinks. scientists are worried about the impact of the indirect carbon, an ecological footprint which could extend 200 kilometers from the center. local industries such as fishing that the pen on the mongrel forests are also at risk of

being displaced that it, i mean, i hope once it gets crowded, that the people benefit there will be more jobs for us, and that locals can work in the new capital with listen, tara's green plans look great on paper, but there are problems looming. kevin dice actually sitting on the handle of co. oh for of indonesia is 5 biggest cool plants are in east cali mountain. much of the energy from building the capital will come from here, which could mean disastrous pollution. it's uncertain how the new capital can be emission free by 2045. was planned for talking about a beauty queen city in the address. yeah. michelle, from us, russia materials as well. only 11.5 of indonesia, national energy is renewable. solar and wind power are planned for new centera, but no one knows exactly how it will be implemented. everything is i also sent many

comes to this and i've not even really quite natural to consider the resources they have like this hydropower. and they hope a month to power the city, the construction of newsome, tara has only just begun and is expected to take another 20 years. but the scorecard for cities built from scratch is patchy. brazil's capital brazilian ended up notoriously segregated me in mars. ne p dog is mostly a ghost city. and in nigeria, a boucher lack of affordable housing created slums. and so that was only far a political agenda. it's happened a lot. a good city is. it's a city, it's an inclusive and, and that is a lie and there is a song in that city until then jakarta will continue to sink. the metropolis remains the capital and economic center of the aneesha. it's hard to imagine that

this will change any time soon for what good home look like. that reuse resources are rely sodden on materials that are readily available. we met an indian architect who strives to cut consumption by embracing such materials as an asset and got a house store in delhi. ah, the new daily skyline is a mixture of modern skyscrapers, and energy intensive, poorly designed constructions. carbon emissions from buildings are often neglected from the climate debate, but in india, buildings alone are said to contribute to 40 percent of energy related carbon emissions. ocoee, daphne london, paval has been designing sustainable function of buildings for over 20 years. he says their need is now urgent. but there are still a lot of misconceptions about what green building design really means. the biggest

myth is that people believe that equity in home is one that has a lot of green plants. you put in a lot of plans, lawn and glass. it becomes green, which is not so in the green building is actually green because it respects nature . and it kind of uses the lip lanesha will sources early sources and it uses via stage and it uses consumption and me the cycle. a lot of my ideas, one above all designs in new delhi, is famous for being in the us 1st 5 star rated green home called green one. the home has been certified by research and policy organization. the energy and resources institute. large windows provide lots of natural light while double glazing, a relatively new feature in india insulates the building. keeping it cool in in del hot somers. new of i worked with green one or no

prashant, or do i come on to make his home sustainable. one important factor for going green was sourcing local materials. the house also generates renewable energy and harvest strain water to day it is able to capture 75 percent of its water demand and can also save up to 40 percent of its power. at the moment, india has around $1400000.00 modern homes that are built with the green concept, which constitutes less than 5 percent of all residential properties. however, this did this stick excludes the countless temporary homes. and those bits by hand is brutal, india, traditional homes that are often green in their own right. we

are always inspired by history has to be studied because historically, what people have built naturally, it is known that they are the best structures. and what we do is we can temporized it a bit so that we can use the same materials, but in a more contemporary way using modern technology so that it is relevant so that it's easier to maintain it to move out and waited his own house in the year 2000, he was inspired by the traditional methods of reusing and building based on the environment. i used all of the broken pails that came out from the toilets. so all that were broken and used in the form of a pattern. and since a lot of them are light color days, it reflects a lot of heat as well. more people can now afford the initial investment, and more indians are getting conscious about the impact of their choices on the environment. they strongly feel that

sustainability has to start from home and you have to adopt a sustainable life stay before you want to sustainable and been building. so i think the consciousness has come in and we have been receiving a lot of calls from class saying that let us simply fire our homes. let us keep more open areas lead to reduce the area now is going for more green major. let's go and plant more trees because they help in, you know, taking care of pollution as well as the link between personal choice and the environment becomes clear. architects like move all hope this need will only continue to grow who favoring the building and living in green horse may not be possible for each one of our community. but every single step towards sustainability gulf. don't forget that and tell us how you are going green on eco

india a d w dot com until next week. good bye. and thanks for watching. ah . with blue. ah, with

everything you enjoy eating at home with your family, was harvested by people who are being exploited. then i guess for free and we're going to need dora. we can keep doing what we're doing, we need to become as sustainable as possible, maybe. and that's why you're green revolutionaries. absolutely necessary. europe review the future thing, determine now our documentary series will show you how people, companies and countries, are we thinking everything that's making late change? oh, good. mm. food. cuba, its a massive cyber attack or something like that happens and we can only buddha were country from the outside, but a lot more from it. so were future after all. and if we don't do something, our children won't be able to enjoy fresh air will free lunch, you know, want to get on your 3 feet this week. and d,
