ah, this is to who did you do? the food i'm trying to channel has to. she survived auschwitz, thanks to music. he was the nazis favorite conductor. to positions under the swastika documentary about the sounds of power and inspiring story about survival. music in nazi germany, watch now on youtube. d. w documentary thing ah, well not surprising at all. everyone in my city is used to lifting. there are heaps of waste on the road side and of course blasting waters like these that everywhere

. and it's not just us, even the cows are annoyed, the poor thing, the eat them choke on them and then they die. ok, maybe that's a little do more work to start visual. but like always we find a silver lining. hello, and welcome. i'm sorry that got the body and you all watching eco india. and today we will find out more about this plastic. i know, planet or waste that it has generated. speaking of people always coin plastic everywhere that are a few who see the trash. pick it up and decide to do something about it. recycle it up, cycle it or something even more exciting. so let's go meet these people. this youth group is coating the streets of tonight, picking up any anybody the sake of plastic that they can find the back of initiate the call was for plastic. it seems to these of in this again

slipping of plastics and they took it people on the harmful effects of plastic, the ocean. everybody talks about plastic. also say yes, we shouldn't goose plastic, but nobody is ready to take the responsibility, right? this is got them. and the blue pile behind him is 80 kilograms of plastic that he and the woman dis, connected with their bare hands. as an artist, he specializes in creating social artwork using this 20th, his main goal has been to spread messages on environment and sustainability through his act. a byproduct of one such art work is work for plastic. ah, i made an artwork called killer. we're using 44001 liter water bottle for this lab, i needed to find as much plastic as i could. i took plastic whizzed from tin,

alt beaches and roads. that process was really interesting to an advocate littering and and sure people don't to, based on the street. we have to make sure that they also pick up the best on that side year and that so what for plastic started happening to them once the plastic has become a global network with over 10001 in tears from 12 different countries, most of the plastic vase discarded on the st. lustig packaging materials. they either end up in lanfield or blog, the pool of water in doing that contributes to flooding of cities during mountains . on the other hand, smaller plastics make their way through the drain, w dot oceans. in 2016, the indian government made producers, importers, and run donors. take responsibility for this waste through the cycling reuse aren't disposing. little mandated an action plan to be submitted by brown donors by only

2017. but imposing agencies like the central pollution control board, st. all manufacturers accountable that has been no update on this ever since. as a result, consumers and one is abilities have to bear that responsibility of handling plastic with. however, while, and he said that many people simply don't care about it. you know, people are so you don't need to do the job. the government is located people for the why are you doing it? but people keep trying plastic every wheel. if i did last it from a thought and please keep listening or what and all that was so nice of the habit of the dream has not changed even if there's just been in front of some people's ideal. but sustainability for everyone, right. what we do is good for everyone, but many people don't understand maxim on the medical mark. ultimately, as one of us decided not to depend on anyone, they walk the streets amy to meet, change one plastic, what lead to trying to do those efficiently. they don't to that head of operation just not and not back and let it go a lot. i did get

a follow patients in the back in like the design content and data management teams . we also collect information on coming in late information and i'm a collect anyway, let bonnie jargon frequently tenix justine to ensure everything stays on track. so data collection over, i mean there were 8 walks with a total of 249 gay the last day, 9 joining franklin. but thought i'd go to andrea who maintain a database on every walk that has happened so far. others present in the call include problem to come out and organize from chimney and j cushion and police and posted for anyone that day. please choose one. so there is a crew behind work and we never force anybody to do work fun to come forward with the to do i have the scale. i can contribute to work for plus the and i'm, i'm really happy when the show my burden and travel along the sag bank. i can,

if it's later on, we'll come over the course of 4 years. the walk goes to $1500.00 these and collected nearly 30 tons of plastic parties. at the end of every walk, one induced big the plastic to and he said in collection center, the shopkeeper weighs the plastic that they've collected. and since the amount dedicate to walk for plastics, bank account that over, that is a how you want to be a student. they store large quantities like you see here and send them in bulk directory to the recycling unit for a larger profit margin. so far we've collected nearly $1.00 copies, which is roughly $1800.00 euros and use that money towards being the school fees of children whose parents are come to lindsey workers. nice because and my name is kevin, just sort of thing that wasn't going to change stocks from a single. i will do it for about the next my friends, the me and my community changes and it slowly grew and go pay to go to the garbage

. you're in dollars, my once or to people with everybody looters. right. then everybody should be down. citizen did any she does like well for plastic, encourage people to pay more attention to how much blasting they concealed and how safely they discarded. got them on his team, believe that the government needs to enforce existing laws for manufacturers and invest in better ways processing technologies to ensure pollution for the cities and what the bodies you don't watch is the biggest problem with waste management and execution. by the time the trash from our home reaches us, it's always dumb the into this one big down. as a child i would get really and hide by how my mother dealt with all the way to the house. so all the ways from the kitchen would go into the forest and everything is from you will save us 2 broken electronics and even plastic waters were sold off to a local scrap dealer every other sunday. so much time would go into it. and that

would really annoy me. the only thing that came out of this was the fuel box that the us, the slab dealer gave. my mother would directly come to me every other sunday as to what that is. a woman who has taken this waste aggregation game to a whole other level. and today we will meet her because she is benefiting a lot of people along with her on this journey. so let's go. i least, management plagues. cities globally with trash piling up in river, lances, and st. this is also a problem here in bangalore. nivia got him decided it was a problem. she could no longer ignore when she was still an engineering student, maybe that developed technology to segregate with, into biodegradable and non biodegradable competence. and part of the technology to

reuse them. somebody take me if you are not you to define all of this trash good to the last. yes, that's the least of land in low income countries is a shortage of speeds. and again, this is incinerated to kind of the 4 years of walking the lances to develop our machine. it separates 200 tons of dry and red raised every day, meaning biodegradable food and the non biodegradable the la dealer article may though you type bearing savings to found the business trash gone in bangalore. 2 years later, she employs 50 people, use founder, thought of jane, gave up his job as an economic advisor to go into business with the jim. if anybody knew about him,

we got that statement and we'll help him in. and then i 1st knew whether to dumpsite with if i saw a woman who was operating the plastic waste with the hands i had at the time this because used to manually separate the waste, there was no machine available in the country that's going to get you and so we decided to develop a machine to help these people on that. so they no longer have to use the hands when handling in a tenure nikki. the here is the 1st customers for local authorities. with that said, the best thing about the brush, go lose. nothing was rest here. or there were the road, it becomes from a new, or they're one of the bravest comes. it is, there is a girl and made as different funny jobs. best renters that the basic principle sorting plastic waste from organic waste. this gets recycled

into biofuel. that get sold to farmers in the region. the plastic is shredded sorted and recycled into furniture, shelving, chairs and tables. we are focusing on certain applications that focuses on its strength. so this is a waterproof might be 100 percent or to prove it. the star might goof and best buy can be recycled again. and again in the navy dies visiting the school to ours outside. bangalore that's benefited from her project. a foundation buys trash, bonds, a recycle for nature, and donate to schools in rural areas. buy let to have a waiver in it, in a depth on a. there were no benches and tables in the school. so the students used to sit on the floor and then we contacted them trashcan and

a foundation gave us $25.00 benches and a believe. and i might as quickly find his disco probate career. sy above us. and i used to sit on the floor in the classroom and always article, but now we have benches and i don't get sick even in bad weather. it's been millionaire with governor near me. that's project has also toward the children about please disposal. and they have learned that they're funny to or is made from plastic that's been recycled. oh, there is saw my, the end of the eob even has 1000 tons more capacity. we will be stab issue a new plan in 5 states. we have already exported our machines to the philippines, mia? trash consultants, machines in bangladesh, the fall and the middle east. the young indian entrepreneur is helping solve the world this problem one landfill at a time. may i guar will, elena? every one across the world knows these, bram, i mean that every where's this one was even an off to ne 7 last year. and when i

say everywhere, i mean everywhere. remember that done that we would do a little while ago? if i sift through the waste, i will find you 10 of these bought isn't under minutes. this contribution heavy to plastic waste across the globe, along with several other brands. and all of these brands have also been talking was becoming equal friendly and recyclable, sustainable green, you know, on the corner would. but how much of it is actually to that's find out you probably recognize at least some of these products they made by your biggest food manufacturers. and no matter where you live, the hard to avoid. 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. $8000000.00 tons of plastic waste end up in the ocean each year and we are

committed to enhancing the sustainability of our packaging and our business. we are in this way, but many of these companies also consistently rank among the worlds awards to plastics, polluters, because the solar, something new over bay, the 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 gets released into the environment poisoning ocean's soil and even the air we breathe. so we wandered and companies promised to cook their 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, my zone and indonesian, back in 2009. the non promised

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. no mention of the previous commitment. but globally done on water still used only 19.80 percent recycled p t and 20242025. they now have yet another new goal and committed by 2025 to 100 percent recycle. and for all the 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 their own commitments nationally 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 started releasing any such bottles in 2021. so what about the promises that weren't shaped? some of them are genuinely positive steps, but others, the more like marketing ploys and long term improvements, like just campaign i belgium brewery. i'm hi bush. in this, a company behind beers like american budweiser corona, and beck's in 2017. they decided to tackle ocean plastic. they've got some famous actors on board. the collaboration with highlight, i think, is a very should have been invited in smart way to step towards 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 efforts a success. plastic that actually been my colleague tie made

a whole video about the challenges of recycling ocean plastic and loretta cappello policy campaign up on the n g o 0 waste. europe has this to say, yes, so basically no, have any soon, because this companies are doing this between now pretending 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. instead 0 says the priority should be to reduce plastic waste at the source, essentially need to close the pack. but when we looked at what companies actually promised, we found out of almost $100.00 scratches, 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 will be made recyclable. but even if packaging is recyclable, in theory, without infrastructure to collect and treated, it will not be recycling practice levers. a capella says instead materials might

end up being incinerated, put in landfills or even worse, left to little, 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. e 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 launched 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. those caps and wrap us from the beginning. those are notoriously hard to recycle even if they are collected mostly on the down cycle 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 recyclable 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 consign up to the global commitment program with their voluntary pledges around plastic packaging foundation that collect 6 commitments and trucks that progress companies are hiding behind the commitments and not just doing the changes that they would need to do sunday, she doesn't really have a stick, you know, they have their kara, 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 of good question, i would say that was really to change the behavior of the company in europe and legislation around the world. more and more countries are imposing restrictions on

plastic packaging. the number of regulations on single use plastics like bags or styrofoam has exploded in the past decade. the european union has now recently followed suit and passed some vicious plastic legislation as well under the single use plastics directive, disposable items such as plastic, bag 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 of like of content. and by 2030, this target will be raised to 30 percent. and change needs to happen. and in each step and 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 said, plastics promises. some of them will even be mandatory, at least within the u. i. u, a beach watson autumn mountain boston. well, i'm a mountain person and he has your proof in 3 pictures. and i love what you know, what we're doing all my pictures even in these beautiful, picturesque mountain flash. yeah. even in high mountain peaks where i would go to make myself feel like an explorer in and explored mountains, i would still find trash. and a lot of my friends have the same story, but you know someone much like us went on a hike, saw all of this trash, but he didn't stop there. he decided to do something about it to give back to the mountain. something for all the common piece that they give all of us belly body mer to them. lo, gassy, i'm gay. the 1st time we were on a short trip to

a place called satan don't like after about 2 and a half hours of hiking restarted cleaning up the into, i mean, i had convinced $34.00 of my friends to correct with a different public. i log angles are traveling up angle to man, every one, his dates and the initial half an hour and, but eventually people get on board and start picking up the wasting. their develop a sense of trying to bad look saw. so i could allow auto accent supplied dollar point, but that's not necessarily true of the millions of dollars. so come to the him aaliyah's every year. they often set up cams, but ever they find keen water bodies near flat areas and dumped their waste directly into the rivers. these rivers, a crucial to local biodiversity, and they're equally important to local communities. these days, the diverse categories, washing trash and pollution into the heart of these mountain villages.

this is the problem that pradeep sanguine is trying to address his organization, healing him aaliyah's, takes people on hikes in the region that also involves picking up trash. he was inspired by his interactions with the people who have lived here for decades . being one of the biggest, or the most fascinating interactions with the shepherd community. i was when i asked them about their understanding of climate change their yeah, they had a very simple answer. then 15 years ago they could block wound from the sheep 3 times a year. now, it's just once a year, village of m on got that they might a veritable karaoke beard. this is because the nutritive value of the cross is degraded by d to let us know for you to know. we have lots of big words for climate change, just because of snowfall. come, olga, we have a lot, but for them, or it's very simple to stay in, but it's directly related to their lively pradeep efforts are aimed at changing

long established behaviors among tourists and locals. in the himalayas by the tourism industry remains largely unsustainable. he wants to go beyond cleanups and introduce locals to new ideas about the value of recycling waste, rather than simply running it mighty well. and we try our best to involve local residents and the work we do. if we want to move towards a secular economy, it cannot be done without including the local communities, orders across the trash we collect with a warranty, as is brought to a material recovery facility, where we employ local resident medical history, we try to ensure that the material we collect become the source of livelihood for those who live here. these are matters at the material recovery facility lucas, like children have helped multiply healing him aaliyah's efforts. initially, he simply wanted to clean up his visit. but now he oversees the softening and recycling of waste. it means a lot of trash doesn't get sent to

a landfill. pradeep regular outreach also involves schoolchildren from neighboring villages. mrs. scott becky, i'm now with the right to me that we saw your work and started doing the same on our own apology. and now our efforts have grown to such an extent that it makes me happy to see that they could sustain the movement without me. mix them up, but he gets a kia, how nickie, gosh, will be also you social media to spread the word. we get many people writing to want seeking to voluntary will and dismissed. awkward thousands of people are now helping undo the damage to the himalayas. healing him ali as a spreading. the idea that being a tourist here in the mountains means leaving them in a better state than they found them. plastic in my trash can in my sleep, everywhere in my life, even in my vacation, spots, luck to day stories left me truly inspired. does look at the same problems that the

i v with much to think of solution is that truly make our doors lives better. but you will let me know what did you like most about today's episode. and what would you like to see more off? you can write to us at eco, india added a d, w dot com. see you next week until then take care. good bye. thank a ah, with
