a tech told me about sugars paralyze between your societies. computers that are similar to governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how things, technologies work, that's how they can also watch it. now, the, everything that's going to have an impact on our environment, from the clothes, the way to the place that we eat on and even look all that for you, dr. hello and welcome. i'm saw the got the body and you all watching eco india. and

if our choices have formed expenses, then there must also be sustainable. often it's wide use. and that's what this episode is all about. eating and play it's made out of leaves is an age old and into addition. but now we can only be found in very, very few places because plastics, despite all it, see those has crept in every way. but people from whom lots of, of these are not indian mountain states are going back to their routes. it's a process that for them has become sole 2nd nature. it takes no time at all bible them and his wife and daughter are making, but those are eating plates out of the door leads. let me go there and then we eat on plastic plates and set apart. see these plates become

spending, but when we use these thought plants that are naturally available, accepted by the soul. so of course, right up here, we are in the mountains of the much over the age. it's a hard sport of biodiversity, but nature here has long come under that. $13000.00 tons of plastic we've accumulated to every year and a decades to decompose in the landfills. in 2022, the state government imposed a band on single use plastics. since then, people hood has been turning to thought of these as a substitute that especially in demand at community celebration god and the rest and humor, last conditions for thought or, or could bland on will affect. it. feeds died at home at 40 cubes of 2 to 4000 feet, the city of georgia, you go to the body so its leaves are huge and smooth toys. and that's why because

it's nice for making funds to hear this and it's a multi purpose gone along with food and fiber. it's a source of food and account those border or salt for dar to medicine, accept the traditional way of making. but those is laborious. 3 to 5 leaves are needed for one plate and their phone together with 10 them will need to fish 2016. the machine has made the work easier. all of them in cells has little financed it with donations from the business community. today about 20 families use the machine earning some $400000.00 would be as a month, the equivalent of around $200.00 and told to utilize both harmony. and she would have, highlights is completed by the may be super easy, but those have a shelf life of 3 to 5 days. light off the rich, the develop a fungus when these leaves are dry press, best goodness. the great advantage is the lose moisture and can be stored for 6

months. you know, it can be stored for 6 months. the family of 35 years, always, but novelty has been producing but those for generations now. they're also using the machine and with it can make up to 1000. but those are the. 2 any guys haven't, since we have gotten these machines and they've got me have profit doesn't know. these plates have a better look good. so the following, the bad on single use plastics do. mines worked on plants has been booming when india was under british rule. the plan suffered for the use, the colonizers planted huge commotion parties for the construction of the leaves and ships. good. ringback all you have you been told is a creeper that climbs on other trees in so it would stop the growth of dec commotion increase when keep growth and then it was declared

a better site to grow and was chopped and cutter. you know that, that on to look no longer 1st of all can be clog pocket and it was my new began to find the commotion forest and his home land over 40 years ago. in 1984, the movement around the environment, the list succeeded in having human is fine and you can up this trees, removed and replaced by traditionally varieties. shortly afterwards, the planting of fine trees near villages was ban. he's convinced that the communities f fluids have gone to boot it to the revival of the fast growing dawn in the market. so if you imagine for these, but those have increasing the establish themselves as a sustainable plastic alternative. jordan, monday, the states commercial hub creators say they sell at least $10000.00. but those

every day. no wonder that many, that agent home that the use of the dollar will become more widespread and established these. uh, yeah, i'm gonna cut them up pretty lucky guess. so we have to look at how to increase its manufacturing and increase the planting of tall and patient. people who are engaged with the door is need to be given modern machines 5 and so that more. but those are manufactured this way too much and will be able to be sustainable. ok, or provide for itself at least for you to consider them. a molig kept the 40 on and now that's being difficult in the mountains make finding extremely hard work. but dar drives here and even underneath is valuable nitrogen into the soil, making it more for time. and the advantages don't stop that. can you still be as it goes on slopes, it plays a very important role incoming, so it will change being

a vine routine which leaves it plays an important role on sloping, telling me that when it slows down the vin and for the reduces cycle, it'll shouldn't been convicted all part of part of the cytoplasm. simple fix, cutting young dog leaves on cool by the people appeared in the mountains, seeds at eton like pulses. the long fronting, twines of the blind are made into ropes. problem is happy that the leaves which he processes and says with his family are now more into mind than ever. and then they always really love frank. all our food source office that are not just poking or is often discarded, which is not very good for the environment. back and watches this you was thinking, what could be us, viewers for our cause. wow, seems like it can be done. video spent more than 15 years looking in other people's restaurant kitchens before deciding to do it. today. she serves up popular

fast food, fit in her own j night each week. now on the side of the od menu centers on bogus i do good. and on the deep side for me, so we need a deals of miles story daily. we buy at all, we need to send the landlord and are looking for the long walk. before opening us the jump repairs a menu and refreshes the cooking for a step. she didn't always take as regularly as she does to day. we used to ride the boy across india, restaurants and street vendors frequently. they use their cooking boards of block that studies show produce docs and that goes inflammation. the key cause of diseases like obesity, heart disease, and diabetes in 2019, in the us food safety take. you need to introduce rules to cold the risks to people who adds to the environment. because the improper disposal of cooking or chokes

sewage systems and use rivers, lakes and ground water. the agency also started the rebuff was used clicking on initiative to collect and convert use or into biodiesel. people in that we know fox, one of the orange for us. i mean, we now make money on the visa, the of a sudden model start up. good. next page us used or on base her $45.00, a piece that is $0.50 for every liter. it's the 1st step in the oil is upside lean to any water. certainly we generally provide hotels of concern that actually put when they used oil leaks and every vehicle about 10 to 15 days depending on demand we collected or if i looked at what is the light and bring it to offices, and then what would be, what the company collects close to $100000.00, it does a point 4 months and brings it to pacific lines such as this one. first it is suppose to, to, to move, particularly if not the,

then the own quality is tested. i'm pointing in the next step. i would say look like from the beginning and i started with this is where restore the used clicking noise from here we take it to the plant, but it's heated at 70 degrees celsius. this is the reactor. after that, it moves from circular to try it in to try it again, heated up 225 degrees one. at that stage 2000 and moisture we've been removed and the result is cleared by with the water fall under the water. even though every container or for that is a step down agreed on this done into biodiesel, hes got the use of petroleum diesel on his home for images. video has profited from the initiative on his now trying to persuade others industrial to join in to see the work i have begun encouraging who down on those to sign up,

take it on the use lowboy. i explained to them how it works and why it's a good idea to provide the restoring to this. we can help the environment local in the been so the level sort of from the deep fry, of originals restaurants, kitchens into a clean, a few with the following week goes up psychos cooking or is micky invalids here in summer? not my entire family would think that i'm about to in the true sense. the day i get married or the day i buy my own house. well that's how important in buying one's own houses. i place you out in india for us. but like i said, of the stock of the show, all the choices have consequences. so what are the consequences of this life changing decisions and what are the items it's do we have before we jump in, what is a single family house? generally speaking, we're talking about

a detached house on its own piece of land that doesn't share walls, utilities, or entrances with any other residences. in the us, the post world war 2 period meet the house with the yard and a white picket fence and attainable middle class fantasy. millions of veterans had come home from the war and the government guarantee generous loans for white families to settle in to newly constructed houses outside city centers. almost overnight, suburbia was born. a half 1000000 homes sprang up around the country in 1946, nearly a 1000000 and 1947. we housing boom for the government guarantee generous loans for white families. it was white families who settled in the suburbs which led other right families to also the city centers. some of that anti urban kind of instinct was actually tied to the, you know, the now the tail end of the great migration and movement of african americans from the south into central cities. this is dr. hardley

h. m a professor of urban planning. underneath all of this, it is all sitting on a bedrock of the unspoken racism and not wanting to move to the center of cities that created a really particular vicious cycle of this investment in cities. but then, you know, the investment and suburbs and expansion of the suckers, this exit us of white people into suburbs was eventually dumped white flight. and since public services are largely funded through property taxes deprived inner city communities of funding and social services, l squared at the end of the 2nd world war, a marked independence from many countries in the global south. and a lot of those places modernize their cities based on western examples, even in places like thailand, which wasn't directly colonized the west, was still a benchmark for aspiration in modern city. now in the day, i also got the pattern on each side of the house is a place and he has a motto to enter on is a,

is associated with just whose research focuses on housing and thailand. like what in house are english? oh yeah. would show yeah, well actually and that's the single family house became a global trademark for wealth and belonging of the 140000000 housing units in the united states. roughly 85000000 are single family homes in croatia, almost 70 percent of the population was in detached houses, the highest percentage in europe. these numbers are terrifying for the planet construction alone, and it's tons of c o 2 from the raw materials themselves to the transport as well as energy needed on site. studies have shown that building a single family house and it's roughly $385.00 kilos of c o. 2 per square meter. not to mention the carbon footprint of all the things you need to put in the house and the equipment to maintain along the garden, the landscaping and the driveway. to do you know that a lawnmower,

and it's as much emissions as a car. but really, the list of damage comes on production of herbal land and buy of diversity because of land use. and worst of all social inequality. does it make sense for us to go person to live in 5000 square feet when so many people live? you know so much less you think about kind of dense housing and even a lower con, talk a penguins ash. so why is it so hard to change the status quo? oh, well, for starters, housing is deeply political. zoning is the set of laws and urban planning that dictate how and can be used and what can be about where and who makes those laws. politicians, a and many american cities, it's actually illegal to build anything other than single family homes in certain places. in san jose, california, for example, 94 percent of residential land zone for single family houses in los angeles. it's 75 percent. almost half of jakarta is still zone for low rise buildings, the majority of which are single family homes. most of bangkok was owned in

a way that pushed housing to the outskirts of the city in the us, the government and things shape cities by excluding non white populations for mortgages, and a practice called red lining, which persists to this day. red lane basically says will will guarantee mortgages in certain areas based on who is there. basically, if the error is predominately african american, then we're going to rate this neighborhood and we're going to downgrade it and consider it red and not guarantee mortgages here. but then in others where they would have to push on strongly, white, they would guarantee the mortgages. similar exclusionary zoning already existed in cities like the highest bird taca in jakarta. as the legacies of colonialism, creating funds and silos neighborhoods, ad zoning often creates housing scarcity, which today is pushing city runs to an affordable rates over the world. so fixing zoning laws would be huge, step towards more equitable housing, minneapolis, minnesota. i got rid of single family zoning in 2018, for example, and san francisco is also planning on it. but we can't just blame zone in full stop

. a lot of plan or say what's needed is to build up in this in the middle. this means other types of single family housing structure. it's like duplexes and townhouses that support walkable communities with local retail and public transportation. as every planner will tell you, housing is about so much more than just houses. is about improving public transportation, investing in schools and developing under used urban areas to increase density. we also have to examine our consumerism and actually confront systems of oppression that sustained the interest of those in power at the cost of the marginalized. if you could take um, so full difference and you know, and just as out of the equation, it would be a lot easier to reach consensus on what we have to do. the city state of singapore, which was a british colony for a 144 years, is often touted as a golden child of urban planning. over 80 percent of the population was in mostly vertical public housing with di,

centralized neighborhoods designed for pedestrians and supported by mass transit. if you want to buy a car, you'll have to pay some huge taxes, so that discourages auto ownership. that single part is a small city state island. the government owns 90 percent of its lands and all these measures happens because of richard state regulation. every place has its own particular history and culture, geography and demographics. so what makes a good house is a really relative definition, and one that's always evolving the close battery. there are yet another choice that we made with the big carbon footprints. a whopping 10 percent of the total global carbon emissions come from the fashion industry. whereas the savvy grow and how is it growing? who is making these clothes? these are all concerns that the fashion brand in indonesia is trying to address. where are the price that work for? and that's going to turn away money in village is depressing. the new job while

taking care of our farm. my name is danny time and i'm the father. i'm p o office worker. not only do we want to change how close are made. we actually want to change also how it's being grown. everything is really difficult. we use social media and left live in order to reach consumers on the global level. really, it's about clearly and simplifying the process, such that people can get motional attachments as well. the process behind cloud, away from all of these coming calls away from this dig fueling that really heard of environment. and so actually feeling the part of my background actually has nothing to do about fashion. i'm on development economist and my work took me through religious across in asia. and there for the 1st time i saw how are clothes are made by women. when i was in the

villages, i started realizing that there are women who flies are impacted by our everyday choice of what we wear. and i realized that i wanted to then build a bridge between people all around the world to care about these issues with care about where to close, come from. with the very women will actually make you the very women who the plans that are used to make everything we make all the colors has actually made a plan of indigenous indonesian knowledge that has existed through generation. but the flaws in the pursuit of lowering the cost of fashion. we have to really work very hard to make sure there is enough awareness and therefore the man for all these products. basically, i'm actually very happy because we manage to ship our product to now over 30 country and that managed to sustain all the field work that we do on the religious

level. we're not another pricing brand, we're not another business, but we're a model for change. we're here to show that there is a different way that you as a business can grow, you can be successful. but at the same time also making sure that every choice literally empowers those will. previously these i have a choice the we have managed to in the past 6 years, bill. wonderful. well, 1st farm clauses, fashion supply chain. and our hope is actually to really significantly scale this. so our goal is that within the next 5 years, we want to scale that $1000.00 hector's. scattering the slides is of course, i'll call it intensive activity. but there is a french inventor who is using solar panels to make this more sustainable.

it's my dream to travel as far as i want without polluting our plant. and i feel like we're on our way there. it's wonderful. the shop up to you was a day, has been in the air for 5 hours and he's covered 220. can nominate his to us as a is on the 15th leg of he's able to of defaults. he's landing in go. yay! in the south of the country, the tourist intended to promote his project wings for the plan. it was what a flight. back edward, the adventurer and engineer quits his job to focus exclusively on his solar powered glide to wherever he goes. his invention,

tools curious under cuz who wants to know how it works? mike, lighter takes off on its own with this propeller. it may seem small, but it's a meter across in diameter. it's powered by batteries and they're charged by the solar cells on the wings. not only, but this is not much of it isn't, it does have caustic through. it was the last been 3 years looking on the glider and put all his savings into the price of time. and of course when they come from feeling i'm impressed. single, very smooth, he completely integrated the solar cells into the way. so it was some children younger. i'm an engineer and pilot and i have an idea how much work went into this . it's fantastic and it makes you dream of a dream of climate friend, a flight without a missing a single gram of c o 2 was with those guys already happening. so those that you can fly self and don't know lot of the contest preparing for the next leg of the to

deploy for what else of all this was either i'll fly to move to the to peak. so new or overflow. best probably not the engineering. that's nature and technology. he used to work designing underwater robots, ones near the south polk. he watched a young albatross in flight before them. so there's people that albatrosses and flight are fabulous. some of the news they inspired me. it is. i said, i want to fly like them one day i'm going to conserve such a great many in the air and no sex industry think he's nuts was it is convinced even jumbo jets will one day fly power slide to sunny loan emission, free zip. good morning, of course, it's hard to imagine a boeing or air bus with solar cells. but modern photo voltaic cells harness just 20 percent of the energy. in 10 to 20 years ago. it might be 40 or 60 percent on performance because the but the lanes might be traveling just 400 kilometers an

hour instead of $800.00. but that's enough for domestic flight. i suppose my no major city of this was i feel during takeoff and call yay. lesson a demonstrates his invention. conventional flight is need wins or a motorized pertain to stock and a loss of energy, but was the name mix it up and to be it on his own. the we would like to to phones is almost cylinder via the asian pioneer is already planning his tour of europe to get even more people on board with the dream of flying with the power of the sun. if we could put a little more thought into what we do and quanch's ski pick and choose sustainable, tentative we will realize that plenty of them are available and that'd be good to only make a difference. but you would let me know what was your take away from today's

episode. you can email us already talked to me directly on by to a to i will see you next week until then take care goodbye. know as gosh, the, the, the
