the good to go beyond deals with, as we take on the world 8 our i do all this is weird all about the stories that matter to you. whatever you take by policemen follow. i do go here. we are, your is actually on fire made for mines. ah ah, ah, ah, welcome to global 3000 pounds underwater villages in belize, trying to keep an entire ocean at bay costly prosperity. chile

is suffering from the consequences of state imposed industrialization and account of the food industries promises of sustainability really stand up. whether it's while jogging in the city along the beach, or even while diving in the ocean across the world, people adjoining forces to get the trash and plastic is everywhere on our planet. even the remotest coolness and not free of it, especially single use plastics onto manufacturers responsible for where they're. ringback products and up we went to find out says. ready you probably recognize at least some of these products they're made by europe's biggest food manufacturers. these companies all seem really concerned about plastic. there's a lot of plastic,

pollution environment. and the uncomfortable truth is the some of it has got our name on it. 8000000 tons of plastic waste end up in the ocean. each year. we are committed to enhancing the sustainability of our packaging and our business. we are in that way. but many of these companies also consistently rank among the world worst plastics. polluters, dakota solis something new over the bay of a key drivers of our massive plastics. problem of the 350000000 tons of plastic waste the world produced in 2019. only an estimate of 9 percent actually got recycled much more it gets released into the environment poisoning, ocean soil and even the air we breathe. so we wondered when companies promised to cook that plastic waste, do they actually deliver to the french he giant, unknown,

for example, is best known for dairy products. but it is also one of the world's biggest bottled water companies, with brands, including a b on my zone and indonesian. back in 2009. the non promise t is 20 to 30 percent recycled p t plastic and it's water bottles by 2011. but they failed. you'd never know it though by 2014. that on our website said this. the goal is to achieve a rate of 25 percent recycled p t by 2020. so the company just delayed, as promised by almost a decade. but globally done on water still used only 19.80 percent recycle p t and 20242025. they now have yet another new gold. and we committed by 2025 to your 100 percent recycle beach and for all around in europe. and 50 percent after dragging its promises out for over a decade, dunham has at least made some progress. companies are even further away from their

own commitments, nestle only used 5 percent recycle p t in 2020 coca cola european branch was 9 percent. and italian ferrero, who promised to get to 50 percent by 2025, only starter releasing any such bottles in 2021. so what about the promises that weren't shaped? some of them are genuinely positive steps, but others seem more like marketing ploys than long term improvements. like this campaign, belgium brewery. i'm a bush in this company behind beers like american budweiser corona, and beck's in 2017. they decided to tackle ocean plastic. they even got some famous actors on board. the collaboration with highlight, i think, is a very should have been invited and smart way to step toward cleaning up there. oh, sure. hold on. i believe one of the brands that is more connected to the ocean company proudly announced that it had over delivered on the commitment and had organized $214.00 beach. but they were all just one time cleanups,

delivering no long term protection. it also sold some sunglasses, made from recycled ocean plastic and then declared the success actually been my colleague, kyle made a whole video about the challenges of recycling ocean plastic and larissa cappello policy campaign. on the n g o 0 in europe has this to say, yes. so basically, no, i have an issue with that because this companies are doing is be pretending up includes that they are now actually they are the ones they're are putting all these packaging material. the waste at the beaches and said 0, i said the priority should be to reduce plastic waste at the source. but when we looked at what companies actually promised, we found out of almost $100.00 sledges, only $1.00 and $5.00 even aim to reduce the amount of plastic used in packaging. and most of those pledges are still in the future. it was far more popular to

promise that packaging would be made recyclable. but even if packaging is recyclable, in theory, without infrastructure to collect untreated, it will not be recycled in practice levers. archipello says and said materials might end up being incinerated, put in landfills or even worse, left to litter, the environment, promising to use already recycled. plastics like that on with water bottles is a much better way. but companies take the easy road there. most of these are specifically about p e t. t is used for bottles, but also for other packaging and even in textiles. it's also by far the easiest type of plastic to recycle. over the past decade, more and more brands have launch bottles made sometimes entirely from recycle p t. but only 17 percent of all plastic packaging is made of p t. the remaining 83 percent are much harder to recycle plastics like polypropylene l d p or h d p, or a combination of many materials from those caps and roughly from the beginning.

those are notoriously hard to recycle even if they are collected mostly on the downside into low re trucks like cheap construction material. meaning that companies often highlight the easiest material to recycle, instead of mentioning the mountains of absolutely not respect, little waste they produce around the world. so where do we start the change? some initiatives are trying to work on transparency 1st. for example, the element out the foundation companies can sign up to their global commitment program with their voluntary pledges around plastic packaging. foundation then collect commitments and trucks that progress companies are hiding behind the orange commitments and not doing the changes that they would need to do. and i'm regards to sunday, she doesn't really have a stick, you know, they have their parents. what happens is company lead. what happens is the company does not want to reveal the data, they don't keep them. so what needs to happen instead?

good question. i would say that was really to change the behavior of the company in europe in legislation. the european union has now recently followed suit and passed them on bishop plastic legislation as well under the single use plastics directive, disposable items such as plastic bags, cutlery and straws. cannot be distributed within new markets anymore. and the directive also includes targets for recycled plastics. by 2025 p t bottles need to have at least 25 percent recycled content. and by 2030, this target will be raised to 30 percent. and change needs to happen and it needs to happen fast. global plastics production is still growing and forecast almost triple in the next few decades. in order to even slowly increase the world needs much better recycling systems and strict regulations. the data shows that voluntary commitments are not enough. companies only change the tactics when pressured through legislation, public accountability,

and consumer demand. and we'll check back in 2025 when companies have to deliver on the next set of plastics promises. some of them will even be mandatory, at least within the what price, so we prepared to pay for progress for prosperity and economic growth industrialization has caused huge environmental problems including climate change. and yet, despite knowing this, we still lived by the same motto, economy before nature. in the 1950s that she lay in government set up 5 so called sacrifice zones to promote industrialization in them, they built coal fired power plants, oil refineries, and copper smelters cement to factories and ports environmental regulations when non existent until the 19 ninety's. and they remain lax to day more than 200000 people are affected in the bay of poaching covey, northwest at the capitol santiago,

people are determined to change things. mm. we go over through no one did anything about the toxic fuse, castiano lago sings or about how they made the children fainter. no one did anything. ah, no, hear me. so he is one of the last fishermen in put on covey, a small coastal town in central chile. he tells us the see here is polluted, which studies have also confirmed. but the sea is, is only source of income. today's catches meagre one, sierra a species of mackerel that regularly migrates along the coast. hosting yonder lago says it's probably not contaminated with toxic heavy metals. unlike fish that stay in the bay all year round. i'm familiar with but we used to eat the fish here. we

made goods of each i already of all will level, but we don't any more because we know it makes you sick reward. okay. variable going to whatever water, lots of people have cancer level of the reason for that lies on the outskirts of pitch and covey. a roughly 500 hector industrial complex right on the coast. the coal, oil, chemical and coffee industries have moved in, lived here by the scant environmental regulations for decades, waste, water and gas emissions have been spilling into the sea and air day and night. and with the approval from the government, which made content or put on covey into his sacrifice. so for over 50 years, industry and economic progress have been prioritized over everything else, including residence and the environment. despite this areas unique to logical value

says, but 3 t up in eunice. i am pregnant that way. this is a bone fragment you can tell by the color, it must be from a marine mammal. my, me photo marino. the geologist is fighting for the area to be recognized and protected later, but they this place tells the story of earth went on but not just a switch and caviar what do coming and anyway, these geo sites are of international importance because the layers of rock behind us reveal part of the earth history and also black went on, but barely bella bimmer. there are other examples away from the coastline. i go well in, this is the fragment of a whale ramp. there are also fossils of dolphins sharks, a prehistoric sloth and deposits of snails, clans, and other invertebrates, the layers of rock alike an open history book. that's why

patricia opinion is and her colleagues from the n g o car to cover our fighting to make this a unesco deer park. welcome or i'll gladly and for the mental director to one that would give the reach an international cio, scientific standing, nasa, they live very closely. this idea was born within the community itself, which unesco like only that come, one honest to see that they will gone beyond been done, but people here want environmental change and projects to promote more sustainability. now also lithography, you're going to yemen. the day want the area to be defined by industry as a sacrifice own or the full so fiend could take almost all so brilliant, docile symptoms. but i believe this could help to protect the town from devastation and help it to be revitalized when i, when i, for my little bit of patricia opinion, is once a fundamental overhaul of the regions image. it's your part that attract tourists.

she feels that's the only way to get the stay to monitor industrial emissions. chili's current government has promised it will try to close one of the factories and prevent any further expansion of the industrial facilities. for the 1st time, environmental protection is top of the agenda. is compromise soil william the government of president boric is committed to ending the sacrifice zone and transforming it into an ecological restorations on that. i would assume i'm good, we've already made great strides towards this goal. in the 1st 7 months of government will yet know as who i will die. in 2023, we plan to monitor harmful pollutants more stringently inching terror pulling from covey and anywhere else in the country. no different p value of it by communities here are still waiting for real improvements. air pollution levels are still extremely high and children in the region are suffering. but teaching opinion is,

takes local school children on field trips to show them places in the sacrifice zones that are worth protecting. happy to day, she's with children and teachers from an elementary school there, climbing a mountain to an abandoned mind to analyze the minerals. oh, me, it will then do it, but it's a stone with copper and cords. yes, it's very beautiful. he does come with that beard that yacoma. why this stone looks, my quarts and a different color. every day there i can see green or gold komodo, but that he see opinion is his greatest wish is to open the children's eyes to the ecological and geological treasures of kin tad o, poacher covey, columbia, but in all retina, i asked him and i will not exon well, no i what if a, if the,

if by the morning this is your heritage and you're the ones who must protect it somehow that we're here to pass on everything we know so that you can protect is in the future for the human wisdom. they hope that the decades of environmental destruction will finally come to an end here and across all the sacrifice zones. in chile, sea levels are rising and rising in the 20th century by around $1.00 millimeters per year, a total of about 15 centimeters. now they're rising by almost 3 times as much due to melting polar ice and expanding warm as see waters for many of the world's coastal dwellers. the big, urgent question is, what can we do when the water comes? this is a home for us. this is where we have been burned, we have run up, there's no place like this. we're on as a community, we're not ready to move mancha by law as being

a fishing community. when i started on an fisherman a full time longer, we're in the now very dangerous place right now. i mean it's on the point where people are moving away because of this relation in you are leaving on their way. and if may what there is now that their homes like. so even my name is mario, my stamp. i'm a resident of the community mancha river. we started seeing the issue with the erosion on the course line. what hurts me to more about this whole

situation. even after we love to have a you know, pieces of property, we live all the football field for the last for mary, i got my grandma and my grandfather. no washed. oh, did you see a dog that really hurt we have been doing our best to try and keep what we have. i don't want to see any mammogram. good. can you see? as a lot of my families are still there? my sister, on good cousin. good friends is currently in madison, who my mom is, well, she's the reason i decided to become a teacher. my, well, everybody around here, you know,

where really come the members. so it was really personal from that is why i decided to get on the water shit and see what i see. the bunker. well, i said i thought it was merely for i'm to, i just what we're seeing with the erosion on the cost of community. what we started seeing was changes on a river and we didn't see the kind of sound that used to come out before to replenish the what is last natalie we have no beach know what it was. it was really nice having a beats. and you can walk around and then tell any view of me or i'm thing

my god is to try and see what they can do to improve the better manage then what we have because is easier, the money is what you have than to restore. what you loss to i had to get involved with the wash it association. been 27 p and we were able to get a mentor for us product pilot closed the malays ish on voicemails, and yet you ah, the watershed data g o. 2 in project for the fall from dea tubes in front of the village. oh, macy kelly, that was i like us stabilisation mental and tool as they split some of the

villagers were at risk of losing your home. the g f. small grants program provides financial on technical resources to civil society organizations. to implement community driven action for global i was able to nurture further relationships with the residents of monk river, including understanding their life and their concerns with their rules on the loss of forms. the loss of their livelihood or loss of biodiversity. the degradation of watershed in general, is at an alarming rate being degraded. for me, that is actually concerning what i see with the early hand. i would hope that they can stabilize it. i put something on rob, signed to stabilize,

the the, the beats went to stabilize, then they, they can do other projects to help where's on the sun was coming inside the don't. there is an iran, ju alo. is that a buck? so what happened? the guys took from rocks that government give us some more. there is on small run and they put them justin, we bought on board and throw them in front to help the middle back a little bit at a sun. so we know that the movers would work bunker village is one of those quote so commended is that we prioritize the postal fishing community located sauder, eastern part of police, a small real community living in harmony with nature. monk river is not responsible for the climate crisis. yet the are the ones that are suffering,

greatest loss or damage. what we need is climate justice. i want to get mom to have our back on the mom. okay. lane, this is a beautiful place. there not our resources here for us to you not. i mean, some issues with them. we can't exist if we can address what we're seeing mom clearbrook, i'd be here for another 100 years. mm hm. with this lee called global teen is john milan gay from kenya. he lives in get cooney district of campbell. he has 4 brothers and the system with my free time.
