oh, ready news. welcome to tech told me about hackers and paralyzed me to your societies. computers that oh sure you and governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work, how we can only go some for and that's how they can also go terribly watch, you know, new to ah, ah, ah, welcome to global 3000 pounds underwater villages in belize and trying to keep an entire ocean at bay. costly prosperity,

chilly 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 gather trash and plastic is everywhere on our planet, even the remotest corner and not free of it, especially single use. ringback pics onto manufacturers responsible for where their products and up we went to find out says. ringback you probably recognize at least some of these products they made by europe's biggest food manufacturers. these companies all seem really concerned about plastic waste. there's a lot of plastic,

pollution environment. and the uncomfortable truth is 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 had in this way. but many of these companies also consistently rank among the world wars to plastics, polluters, because it's 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 cut that plastic waste, do they actually deliver? take the friendship giant unknown. for example. it's best known for dairy products,

but it is also one of the world's biggest bottled water companies, with brands, including abn, 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, the non waters still used only 19.80 percent recycle p t and 20242025. they now have yet another new goal, and committed by 2025 to a 100 percent recycle beach. and for all our grants in europe and 50 percent after dragging its promises out for over a decade, dunham has at least made some progress of the companies or even further away from

long commitments. nestle only used 5 percent recycle p t in 2020 coca cola european branch was a 9 percent and italian ferrero who promised to get to 50 percent by 2025, only start 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 and long term improvements. like just complain that belgium brewery, i'm a bush in this, a company behind beers like american budweiser corona, and beck's in 2017. they decided to tackle ocean plastic, even got some famous actors on board. the collaboration with highlight, i think, is a very should have been invited in smart way to take a step toward cleaning operations 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, car made a whole video about the challenges of recycling ocean plastic and loretta cappello policy campaign. on the n g o 0 in europe has this to say yes. so basically, you know, i have an issue with that because this companies are doing this beach pretending to do up includes that they are now actually they are the ones they're are putting all of these packaging material, the waste at the beaches and said 0. i says 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 stretches, only $1.00 and $5.00 even aim to reduce the amount of plastic use tim packaging. and most of those pledges are still in the future. it was far more popular to

promise that packaging will be made recyclable. but even if packaging is recyclable, in theory, without infrastructure to collect untreated, it will not be recycled in practice never. so capella says instead materials might end up being incinerated, put in landfills or even worse, left to lit up, the environment, promising to use already recycle 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. pc 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 wrap up from the beginning. those are notoriously hard to recycle. even if they are collected,

they're mostly on the downside into low re products like cheap construction material. meaning that companies often highlight the easiest material to recycle, instead of mentioning the mountains of absolutely not a little way 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 consign up to the global commitment program with their voluntary pledges around plastic packaging. foundation then collect 6 commitments and trucks that progress. companies are hiding behind the orange commitments and not just 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 companies 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, category, and straws, cannot be distributed within in new markets anymore. and the directive also includes targets for psycho plastics. by 2025 p. t bottles need to have at least 25 percent of 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 is 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 the 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 lava sings or about how they made the children fainter. no one did anything. la. navea me solo. nodded. 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 as 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 that. we used to eat the fish here. we

may go to v toyota of over level, but we don't any more because we know it makes you sick reward. okay, variable killer, whatever water you, lots of people have cancer level of the reason for that lies the outskirts of pitchin covey. roughly 500 hector industrial complex right on the coast. the coal oil, chemical and copper industries have moved in, leered 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 concerto put on covey into his sacrifice zone 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 pretty up in eunice. i meant the 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 there they, this place tells the story of earth went on, but not just a future covina what i'm coming. and anyway, these g o sites are of international importance because the layers of rock behind us reveal part of the history. it's been a guy with enough of luck went up, but barely bella bimmer. there are other examples away from the coastline. i go pull in. well 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. italy meant the gala 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 were gone beyond been done. but people here want environmental change and projects to promote more sustainability or now also lithography. you're going to yemen the day want the area to be defined by industry as a sacrifice own. oh, the full so fiend could take almost all. so brilliant thoughtful symptoms, but our bliss 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 tsetse opinion is takes local school

children on field trips to show them places in the sacrifice zone 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 yeah, will that be it? but it's a stone with copper and cords. it's very beautiful. he does come in their beard that vehicle why this stone looks, my cords and a different color to play with david. 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. oh, put you in covey, columbia. but i know i retina. i asked him no roxanne, 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 with the 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 warmer sea 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 grown up as no place like this world as a community. we are not ready to move longer as being fishing from

when i started on to the fisherman. that was a toy 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 erosion in you are leaving on the air when, if my water is now that the home life, so even my name is mario, my son, i'm a resident of the community of mancha river we started seeing the issue with the erosion on the course that hurts me more about this war

situation. even after we love to have a you know, pieces of property, we left football field for the last 4 of my grandma and my grandfather. no washed or did you see a gun that really hurt we have been doing our best to try and keep what we have. i don't want to see any mammograms good to see. as a lot of my families are still there. my sister, on good cousin. good friends is currently in madison. move my mom is, well, she's the reason i decided to become a teacher. well, everybody around here, you know,

where really come your members. so it's really 1st and all. that is why i decided to get on the water shed and see what i can do. i see the bunker about what i said, i thought it was merely for i'm to, i just what we're seeing with the erosion on the course. now the community we started seeing was changes on the river and we didn't see the kind of sun that used to come out before to replenish to what his last natalie we have no beach know what it was. it was really nice having of the day you can walk around and enjoy it and you know and 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 our project pilot closed immunization was 9 using the get you ah, the watershed d. a n g o 2 in project for the fall from dea tubes in front of the village. oh, macy colored that was i lagos, stabilisation mental tool as they split some of the villagers were at risk of

losing their whom the g. f. small grants program provides financial and technical resources to civil society organizations. to implement commented 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 raj on the loss of forms. the loss of their livelihood and loss of biodiversity. the degradation of watershed in general, is 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. no, rob signed to stabilize. they did the beach, 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 up in the guys from rocks, but 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 quotes. so committed 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 mon. okay. this is a beautiful place. there not resources here for us to you, not that means i'm 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 camber. he has 4 brothers and the system with my free time.
