welcome to talking about hackers and paralyzing entire societies. computers that out were you and governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work, how they can go in for but how they can also go terribly watch it, no need to ah, the production of a multitude of products, both essential and non essential, requires a substantial amount of resources, including water, energy,

and other raw materials, unfortunately, many of these resources are finite to internal sustainability and promote environmental responsibility. it's crucial to seek alternatives. how do we go about achieving this? that's what we talk about today. hello, welcome to eco india. i'm some of that i go now centuries ago, people sought to protect their feet from the elements and rough to read with the rudimentary footwear made from plant material and eventually led them. despite numerous advances in short designs and materials, affordability has remained a persistent issue. a relatively new concern, however, is how sustainable our shoes are. with st side, cobblers had long been a fixture of city life in india, their small shops, stock, residential neighborhoods and markets. but of

a traditional repair and reuse economy that extends the shelf life of shoes. it's a sustainable approach, but it's on the decline. india's economic growth has opened up new opportunities for the marginalized communities that long brazil this profession. it's also given consumers to greater football choices and money to spend on them. today the massive football industry turns out products made predominantly of synthetic materials. they're harder to, to bed and recycle and often end their life dumped in the environment. if they talk to in part of the footway, mostly from talking about not that but the soul soul is basically made from the different types of, you know, different types of plastic b as you know, you know, have a, b, b, c and all those things. so basically that is one of the things which doesn't get absorbed by the environment or by degrees. and also that is will one more very

important aspect of these threats are the micro hybrid which is going in jewish numbers within. but it's not just this waste. the production process itself places a huge burden on the environment. india is the 2nd largest global producer of foot, bear after china, manufacturing $2000000000.00 pairs a year involving hundreds of production status that consume energy, mostly derived from burning coal. i'm talking about greenhouse gases or hadn't been talking about a greenhouse on computer on 1.4 percent of total emission ah, which is connected to a football industry. growing awareness about the foot bed industries. environmental impact is driving the search for more sustainable production models. the song do, farmer ad leads from delhi began looking for away forward and started a social and a brain that uses bite of its profits to provide jewels to people who can't afford

them. being done over the already closed sco shows that are needed. renewal digital every t for monday of gender. so, so that's where we thought or let's go deeper into it. i already saw it and found that there are 250000000 jewels which will do landfill detour. and at the same time there be below walking barefoot. so this was a clear connect whether if the start of the bearing this was if you start up cycling the fools begin are but when them from going to landfills and give it to some one or requires it green sol has set up a large network of collection centers across india, where people can donate unwanted footwear thousands of all or damaged shoes, slippers and sandals, and then processed. basically our mother saw the tissues that we collect, that he separate all the parts like the leases in salt, mouth and soil. and the upper part of the shoe normally are in. so you know, all these and categorized whatever can be used for getting it after citing the body

melody of cyclic, whatever we can act and use on the other bites to recycle. take into raw material, cycling, fun, usuals your a 2nd now or the 2nd was as well. okay. that that will, the entire process is done by hand transforming the separated bugs into functional footwear. proceeds from sales have helped provide more than 500000 bears to school children into real areas. another company is turning the foot per production to get the volume of junk in the environment. mom, babies started by dogs, make shoes from discarded, dia, dupes. org and fabric. this, as you're seeing right now, is that directly from the dial from the goddard diode that is, that usually ends up in the landfill. this is the upgraded version, which also ensures the finance. this is a mixture of, of dia,

with the other element that i'd executable and sustainable. by definition, a truly sustainable shoe needs to be durable, made from non polluting, or recyclable material. and it should be manufactured, but renewable energy sources of budget that's on gotta admit that the bar is high. normally i don't in my understanding, is 100 percent sustainable because if it's just equal playing, i'd go to bill then it's not sustainable. even so consumers, especially among india's urban youth, a warming up to the idea of climate cooling shoes. you know, you need to, we feel good about what you're adding in the end of it. so i think when i bad things which are sustainable, i feel good myself. so yeah, that's, that's a win win for me. that mindset is good news for me because of green shoes. but experts see the best way to minimize what, where's ecological footprint is for consumers to buy less and prolong the lives of

the shows the already own law. the average person who menstruate will use 17000 centrally products throughout their life time, assuming they have access to them in the 1st place. a recent survey suggested these products use whilst quantities of resources like would fibers gotten plastic and chemicals to be produced on a global scale. most of these are not biodegradable, leading to a significant environmental impact. this was the driving force behind a revolutionary invention in thumb like this is no ordinary sanitary napkin. it's completely biodegradable and it disappears quickly. all you need to do as buddy had been soil, once you've used it, leave an undisturbed and it's gone in just 15 days. it was invented a breathing damaged us, a polymer scientist, an entrepreneur based in chinese, india. when they used the napkins are they don't think

a ward the after life of your napkin is just one napkin either or just one napkin. this is what, although when, when think conversation about menstruation itself are becoming less of a dabble in india but saved as porcelain minstrel. hygiene products is still a huge environmental issue. there's just so much in misinformation out there that i feel is the main problem and this is not something we can just shun. nance aids are annoyed in congress, but of rural problem. it's something that it can be seen or been areas itself at the center of her to search please, the player of dazed not just the environment but also the women who use it. all of us would have hand others back below. genesis though, magdalen infections that we come across during periods that thumbs because offsite napkins, which that's not how any, on the back the, the property is a net. so i wanted to create some for to need to, which is on to eco friendly and also very friendly to the skin of fall woman finger

. you sanity bad, predominantly of, in the belinda market are made from up to 90 percent h plastic. they contain super absorb and polymers in the middle layer and are designed to hold large quantities of liquid. they're made of synthetic materials that take up to 800 years to be great. in india or 12300000000, single use energy beds are disposed every year. many of them end up being bonding incinerators, releasing toxic chemicals in the air or was end up in luncheons. so there are so many competence in mios do it and landfills and dump out there are not conducive to having o sandrine napkin breakdown please. he said the goal is to create disease, always mediate. this meant she had to make every layer from scratch. the drop on the bottom layer are predominantly made made of the same polymer that is used. the da plan is illusion color because it has bacteria hubs, which is stud money quickly read any attempts in preventing bacteria infections and

also eliminates bad order. and the me, the nan is made all far biodegradable so, but absorbing volume when it is also in those based on a mixed at all with the sugar again, fibers. so these are the 3 layers that goes into this napkin when the blood comes in contact with the napkin, the my groups present in it, help it to degrade foster in the science. it will begin and it'll be bacteria present in the soil along with few species of fungus breakdown the napkin and daily . so i knew you will sit and read everybody in the, sorry, i just close it off and leave it for 2 weeks and you'll be good again in the same message, not find the not going to adult. the the sorry, has been tested before the napkin was buried and after the napkin has completely graded, i was found that it increases the science nitrogen by 20 percent. so it makes a thought more for that after liquidation. please johnny with

this invention started in 2015, 5 years later she received her beaten. and today she's looking to make it into the market. she sees that this map can, can absorb fluids of $2700.00 times it's rate and has a shelf life of up to 6 months. currently. it basically the about 3 days to meet each sanitary napkins, since i'm making it in the laboratory and i acknowledge the time it takes for making napkins. it's like a little longer that i brazil says an industry falling in place. the time will be reducing, picking the spot from a prototype to a full fledged female hygiene product. that is, any foreseen the means one of these biggest challenges. reason that i'm not a woman and them, as well as the reason that i'm working for the environment. working on a product that is eco friendly, it makes it even more difficult for me because you know,

people don't bite on more together. when you cross the 1st step, everything else will fall into this. i'm sure board and i hope that will definitely happen to me. as with the united nations estimates that are 800000000 women globally having the period on any given day toxic kings. an environmental advocacy organization conducted a survey and found that more than half of the women were unaware of the harmful feet of disposable menstrual waste products. but unbelief that it's not just up to the consumers to inform themselves about these changes getting together to change the product, add source, giving information on those alternatives that are dead in the market, making it easily accessible, maybe providing subsidies to the companies and people live working in this area is like it has to be a multi pronged approach to make a difference in this arena. and it has to be done as much as well as will that

doesn't do though to east think of something that can be even more equal. for any 0 waste. combating means to waste and promoting to legal friendly materials, liaison to the stakeholders, consumers industries and policy makers who must push together to bring about and change. ah, the days of the legend of cleopatra relying on natural ingredients like which to below is milk and honey. for every day, beauty is a tool, a long gone in many parts of the world. today, the cosmetic industry of the boss, stabbing of shower gels, cream mascaras and perfumes, to keep us king and feeling our best with the industry, generating over 4500000000 euros and seals in 2022 alone. it's a highly profitable business. however, it's also important to ask ourselves, is it really good for us? ah,

people normally use between 10 and 70 enforcement care products every day. here am i do with best when i wake up? so shampoo and conditioner in the shower handwash when i needed moisturizer, la mama, vaseline mit of perfume and eyeliner, and a bit of lipstick. answer, mouthwash, ingredients for these can come from forming sources. fresh water. animals like wheels, plants like in that sweet rose essence and yup. chemicals are actually in this mineral oil, petrochemical paraffin. oil is also petrochemical and other common ones listed on products are butin all or any word with beautiful? anything would be e, g, d, e a r m year, and hundreds of others are still derived from petrochemical sources. i was

teaching a class, did ph d students. and they also didn't know. so this is not just like the general public is like people who are getting degrees in chemistry. don't know that constance. bailey, at the university of tennessee knoxville, says the widespread use of federal chemicals was just not in public consciousness. yet literally, every chemical that we encounter in our life is made from petroleum for the most part. while there is evidence of skin irritation or reactions, in some cases, the scientific community is strongly debates that toxicity and impacts on health when dosage guidelines are followed. so it's not really much of a health concern, but the big impact of using petrochemical the on the environment, fracking and drilling for oil can heavily pl you'd the water, air and soil, and the petrochemical plants. so polluting themselves community is have been actively opposing them around the world, including a region called cancer alley in louisiana. good,

pos refinery because you'll smoke going out into the air right now that's, that's pollution. king's melbourne is an analyst at carbon tracker, who focuses on the petrochemical industry. it's much, much more diluted, making pitch chemicals, then making peripheral fuel call. because there's also the question of what happens after use dentist. 17 products means up to $300.00 chemicals being washed on the drain per person body. and it adds up micro plastics. probably the best known culprit had been found in all the 70 percent of fish species studied. they can dramatically change behavior affect the larger marine environment and when people consume them, micro plastics could even cause damage to human. dni and is getting was one for one petro chemicals have an even bigger impact on the climate than even the most famous enemy oil. to produce one ton of oil to be combusted around $2.00 tons of carbon

dioxide are released to use one ton of better chemicals that number's closer to 5 tons, taking into account the energy use in production and disposal. so what is the alternative to slathered petroleum? what is we have that called it in fact, who was believing that if something as natural it is automatically good. it is better for us. and yet with science we now know that is definitely not true. dr. michel wong is a cosmetic chemist who bust smiths about products on various platforms, including those spread by provenance of natural organic beauty. let's start with natural. there are lots of different definitions of national companies will say you have to use over a certain percentage of natural ingredients, which means the sources nature, like fruits appliance, but these aren't necessarily safer enough re of metro chemicals. in the e u, they have been international standard definition and some places use that other places just don't really have any regulations around organic is usually to do with

how ingredients are produced in terms of how they were bombed. this generally also doesn't mean that every ingredient is from an organic loss. all that it's better for the environment. and of course, these products can still have ingredients with links to petroleum. and using natural ingredients doesn't mean it's necessarily better for the environment either . take, for example, you want to smell like a morning rules. this friggin scan me synthesize in the lab, but to squeeze out one gram of rose essence from nature, you would need up to 10000 grams of 10 kilograms of rose petals. and obviously, growing the varies with harvesting, naturalizing, like creating the fertilizer, irrigating all of that. so distilling as well, that just takes, sorry, much energy important. don't come on hope yet. that is a bright spot is called green chemistry. the idea of synthesizing the compounds but

from renewable materials. if we can make these from engineered micro organisms using cellulose feed stock rather than petroleum, then we're not reliant on digging oil out of. 6 and it's already happening with groups using mainly agricultural waste with a focus on sustainability. ready company in the u. s. amorous has recently launched to personally carolines that you silicon that creams not from petroleum, but from sugar cane residue as a feedstock and a swiss company. d carbonized. the lipstick line by using a compound called iso dudek in which helps waterproof cosmetics last longer. it was 1st invented as an alternative to jet fuel. and that's something it could eventually become once production happens at scale. so d combination cosmetics could have a huge knock on effect, on other more polluting industries, cosmetics, no, they're not like as big of

a market shares like plastic or something like that. but it's still matters right? because we still at like, ah, it's just idea that every thing that we need chemicals for, right, we are making out of petroleum right now. and if we were to magically say, like all of our combustion needs have been replaced by renewal balls. to morrow we don't need drill another barrel of oil. we'd be pretty, you know, we would be pretty screwed because we don't have other ways to make all these other molecules that we need in our own. so what can you do? the 1st solution is the most boring answer, but it is to useless and to smarter unity need the product that you're buying. and does it make sense in your context? second, knowing what to avoid. it depends very much on your skin kenny's unemployed. it is and finally wavered him. money does monta investing in big all small brands that

have shown a commitment to using green chemistry is a good idea. in the long run, oil companies will have to figure out what to do with the buy products and the federal chemicals that we no longer want. ah, oil spills, which are often the result of danko accidents, have severed and lasting consequences. the oil room slowly spreads, causing harm to seaboard, marine animals, plants, reefs, beaches beer and the entire course to legal system. to mitigate the damage various measures at all from deacon, including the use of barriers to prevent oil from spreading and the use of bonding skimming or suction methods to remove the oil. this last solution letter british hairdresser, to undertake a remarkable effort. and like,

and she only has well claims to get one like well do nice face frail lie. when you are a little bit, we'll also do less repair in treatment for you is allowed in the glowing hairdresser del williams loves to pamper her client in her house. and on and whales, a cutting hair has always been more than just a job for her. i just got her hair means a lot people i think. and it's not even a vein thing. really carrying about how your hair looks. it's just, it is an essence of who you are and your personality. i think if your hair's not feeling great, then you kind of don't feel grey either. it's a win win for a del williams and making her clients feel good while saving the environment with their hair cuttings. every one in the salon support the cause. oh, lazy them away here. i've always tried to recycle and things,

but i always felt like that was something more i can do. it's nice to be trying to start a business that is using a waste product to do some in us. so good for the world. safe, basically from time to day, this client's hes going from blonde to pink. her hair cuttings will end up in the back room and with this felting device will be turned into an oil. matt, that absorbs oil spills in the see what i'm doing is i'm spitting it up into final pieces so that it resembles a piece of netting. and then this gets fed for the machine multiple times until it gets thick enough about an inch thick freebie. and then, and it's a hammer, adel williams grew up in the town of have a food west on wales, west coast. she loves the beach and the see her home town. in case of an oil spill

here in the future, her mats could be used that's because hair is a good natural absorbant of grease and oil. the hair maps can soak up to 9 times their own weight and oil. according to environmental organizations, they already being used in the usa as an eco friendly alternative to plastic maps. there is cut by hundreds of thousands of salons in the united states about 900000 salons, that are licensed cat about a pound or 2 a week. i and we all know that we shampoo because hair collects oil, so we started working with a hair stylist who came up with the idea of making oil spill math. to prepare, encased an oil spill hits europe, a dell williams was cooperating with the american n g o. she is optimistic because even the oil industry is now showing interest at

the moment. has a few companies trialing lots. hopefully they will soon order the mats and stop pushing out those polypropylene months. are they using at the moment? the makeover is almost ready and the customers pleased. not only because of her new hair color, getting my hair cut and be able to donate my hair to a good cause to mop up oil spills is really amazing. nice to see a lot. think i a has as the young hairdresser, so much more than about looking good. adel plans to continue proving just that. as we've learned to be the arts, resources are finite, making sustainability and conservation essential for a thriving future. if you take care of our environment to be our future generations

will, hank us on the planet we have inherited. i'll leave you with that and see you again next week. good bye. and thanks for watching i ah, ah, with
