how much can we do simultaneously? multitasking these, the modern because if we do too much, we did it all wrong. we messed things up, risking brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage, humans and multitasking watch. now on youtube, v. w documentary, the hello and welcome to focus on europe. my name is liz, chill, on average, every european produces around 500 kilograms of waste per year. but what actually happens to it once we discard it? some of it is given a new life, but what is not recycled is incinerated or ends up in landfills and the worst case

on sorted in some countries in eastern and southern europe. this type of disposal is still widespread. romania is ranked among the was worst member states for waste recycling, a lot of garbage and recycle material is thrown together before it even arrives at the landfill. this violates the standards of the european union, which has given money to romania for proper waste management. this includes the construction of a modern landfill in inclusion of pocket, but a reporter discovered that millions in e u funding has failed to clean up the problem. a romanian landfill site full of unsorted waste financed with money from a european union. this was supposed to be a modern, environmentally friendly waste down to replace the older illegal landfill site near

the city of pollution. i forgot that had been an eyesore for decades. the new landfill opened after much delay, but not much seems to have improved. on sorted garbage is still dumped here. nothing is recycled, harmful practice fencing and legal and the you. we want to find out what went wrong here. in a residential area, we looked at the start of the waste chain. the 1st impression is there are different bins for different waste. okay, you guys recycle your way. sometimes sometimes this was sometimes he doesn't make sense because the same car is taking the garbage. so if it is not actually recycling, there's one called the phone to pick everything. and then it happens before our very eyes. the sign on the truck reads today we collect paper,

but they also taking everything else from all the bins the . is this an isolated case or it's, it's a stomach we need shown dakota is going to works in the waste industry is also inactive us and keeps track of what crews just waste collectors, aren't doing the . so what's happening now are different types of is right. yes. yes, i think they are mixing or, or they'll be yes. unplugged romania risk cycles cost 14 percent of its municipal waste compared to the average of 49 percent of the

moment blocks was yes, semis right now recycle some more expensive to collect the mixed waste. they show we're not made because there's no incentive to collect them separately for like they fit, bought out the width, shown dakota chevrolet and 3 other environmental activist. i watched drone footage of the new waste plant. the activists are concerned that the site is filling up faster than it should with on sorted waste, which is illegal in the elizabeth thing. this is not a momentary mistake. this is a structure, as you can see from the area that these covered with non treated non sorted garbage . most of them what the reason they don't treat don't sort of just dump it there. it's, it's so obvious. from 2014 to 2020 the you spent 318000000

euro, subsidizing waste management in romania, 40000000 inclusion alone. we want to speak with the people responsible for waste collection here. but neither the waste company nor the romanian ministry of european investments. reply to our inquiry the local waste management association does however, tell us in writing the bill and post penalties if there are deficiencies. the district council here is responsible for implementing the project. we met with the spokes person we observed that and precious, then not being recycled and not collected separate and includes. and this is one of the main goal is of european waste management stand. that's so am i you as the 2 is county not concerned about this probably exist the boss there may be some isolated

problems start to clot. i'd tell you as a citizen that it's definitely not a systematic problem for new cartridge. at the time, no one appears willing to acknowledge the waste problem here. so we had to brussels to ask what the u commission, which financed much of romania as a waste disposal system is doing about this opened up the whole country. the commission does not manage projects, we do not follow each separate project. we have under equation policy, the previous peers, 1500000 projects on more than 1500000 projects funded by equation policy. and these are all managed by the number of states back in romania. no one seems to feel responsible, much to the dismay of each month. so gotch, as long as europe is happy with b, b. s. and they are and they have been and they would be romania, we'll have no problem in producing more nicely. we couldn't find out who is to

blame for countless inclusion. but maybe that's the root of the problem. in the tangle of european projects, everyone wants a piece of the pie. but it seems no one wants to take full responsibility for the waste or from where the money is going. or what's your needs concerning waste is a rethink, says alicia test the and she can back up her words with actions. her family business in the fashion powerhouse of italy is committed to recycling and she is not alone there in tuscany, around the city of title many take. so companies create new from old, with proud to quickly becoming the pairs of sustainable fashion. vis used closing been could be in almost any european city, but no matter where it's located, chances are the closing will end up in prod. so it's in the the world text on recycling capital around 150 of the 7000 text

companies here are involved. and recycling use close from germany, austria and switzerland and up at salvatore. run gino's warehouse. did you find that she gives me that level of detail? the visits where we separate? what comes in the media? we separate t shirts. pants, children's clothing sweaters, and jackets. according to season, on a winter or summer, i see that not the resales 2 thirds of the clothing, mostly to africa. and each a tennessee who works next door takes the last, the 3rd or finally business has been turning us close into yarn and fabric for 4 generations. talons are at. hi. how's it going to be great in the material? yeah, it's all pretty good. one great. and then the magic begins, the end, the discarded scraps will become new yarn and wo, it's

a complex process that starts here in the table. and the solar eclipse goal is to restore the young to its original color. and as soon as we separate the colors and then the machine turns the racks into a kind of funny proposed scratching my head out. that way we were to the original color without the chemical guys. the chemical guys are only one of the problems of today's textile industry. worldwide, 20 percent of water pollution comes from dying on finishing fabrics. that's another reason why recycling used clothing is so important. the material then goes to and washing plans where it's shredded and turns back into rule material company processes. the $25.00 tons of fabric per day. the final product as these fluffy fibers. the material has been dried and now has the

moisture content of the original fi button. now it's ready to be packaged, and so those funds the on the recycling process continues in a nearby factory. the fibers are turned into yarn and then fabric. every european buys on average, $26.00 kilos of textiles per year. most eventually ends with this landfill. for literary, it's a terrible waste. most of the 400 we're trying to do us small part here. of course, if the fashion industry follow down lead, we could accomplish that much more. it's hard to believe the 21 percent of all used clothing in the world is recycled and 15 percent of that one percent is recycled? here in pa to yes, some of the contribution here in protest textile district is important. of the chase fathers, presidents of gets leased textile recycling association. but he says recycled

fabrics can't be the only solution. not for simply a dollar g for data. but at the moment we can satisfy the level industrial and consumer demand with 100 percent recycled materials event. no, that goes to my go to the gospel account. okay. we have to do now is make it clear how important it is to move more and more in the direction of recycling. you know, mean thing, can we mean todd young dot it, they love it. it's in addition to that also means encouraging. young designers like students from a freshman academy to use recycled tech styles from prato for the creations and central proud. so the roof start off is already selling recycle design or function around the world. nicolo geoffrey, on his goal, is to bring together our, to his new methods, sustainable fashion and the principles of a circular economy. with me, i'm going to talk i sent to people that were seeing that more and more people are interested in these issues and are willing to buy less clothing. but it's been more

on quality that i mean, the just the opposite of fast bashing, which is what we have until just a few years ago. that so that was all about low prices style in buying new clothes . more often new america simply looking, spend that people who are comfortable with people like nicolo and alicia they are showing the sustainable fashion is more than just a dream for places like proud so all over the world can help make it's a reality. the delia from latin america came to spain with a dream sending sufficient money back home to support her children. but her dream turned into a nightmare. she now works as an in turn, not in madrid, and turn as a workers who takes care of the household and live with their employers like, or pairs. often they are without any papers such as a residence permit, which makes them even more vulnerable. the spanish government has introduced stricter laws bugs despite that. people like delia continue to be abused. for

6 days a week, 16 hours a day daily is filled into self at work for us with a cell phone. in this apartment in madrid, spain she takes care of the household and looks off to the children. she sleeps here too, but the 57 year old doesn't want to show us hovering. it's the only piece of privacy so, you know, when i read that the on the, they put me in a 2 by 3 me to basement room. okay. hold on. i don't have a window, then. it's the meaning is one of the sent to have to live like this. he said he didn't, even though you take care of it. first thing in the apartment walk around the clock, so you do your best. but still end up in a situation like the key and, and if people see on the cold in town us because they live in the household, they usually from latin america or the philippines. they do the groceries mind the

children take care of the elderly. like here in the upscale neighborhoods of mentor, it is to give us so little feedback, every single cook and cleaning everything wrong. cool, 24 hours a day. this council is 3rd and then finish may not be at this domestic workers association. carlos here on is the chat person 5. she's not about doing the cleaning. she too has worked as an in town a, in the past. now with the association. she supports the workers' rights because many don't even get the designated minimum wage for their work. $1080.00 euros a month migrants would that residency, right? so often shamelessly exploited this levy to move this is more than slavery because they don't pay you the legal minimum. and then your rights getting from hold on just because you don't have papacy your law. and then the, when you complain the employee a says,

why should only pay you buy the books when you don't even have paperless? good it that way. if i look into a late c, 20 populous dentist daily, often comes by the association. 17 years ago, he came to spain from paraguay to en money for her family. so if he gets but and is the separation from his children, his son was 10 at the time her daughter 15 because he don't have it in the, in the come on, i still speak with him for awhile. i left my children in paraguay of new york and now i'm here for other people's children, which i know you forget the don't you i've missed a lot of things on my daughter's wedding, the both of my full grandchildren, my father's death full of the thing is that keep a family together assignment that'd be total for the media. daily i gets help from the association psychologist, anna camacho thinks the extreme living situation of the antennas is dangerous. they can be frustration and depression,

even the loss of one's own identity. the last that on the data hand to allow you helping you out the city julia, the boundaries between your private and working life. but are you not blood are going through this? how do i up there? so i'm not saving as well. no money to your privacy and personal development, but i'm determined to fight mothers, both really loud in spanish authorities wants to end the precarious situation. they've imposed contracts with minimum rest periods. and you decree now grants, unemployment benefits to domestic workers. but in reality, domestic work is hard to monitor. family was the reason daily. i left power of why to work as an intend, 17 years later. and children are practically strangers to make an idea. i mean, i wouldn't do it again. how come will say i will find, stay in my country and somehow take care of my children. that was at least i'd be

with them for gas out today, or i have no hope of winning back then. no fee. daily a is still proud that her work has enabled hood children to get an education, but it's being a high price to pay of more than 20 years ago parts ago did criminalize the consumption of all types of drugs in the coastal city or porto and other parts of the country, it's mainly those who deal in drugs who have to face legal consequences. well, experts halo step as a role model for other countries. port to residents like christiano silva have a different view. he's unhappy about how addicts are getting high in his neighborhood. often with the police seemingly powerless. charlton foil discarded bits of syringes and large old evidence of drug use in the streets and punks of points. christiano silver sees it every day. he lives in

portugal seconds onto a city and a middle class neighborhood. it's also a hang out the drug that's above and it's disrespectful to the rest of the society . they're using openly in the street. if it's come. yeah, if you don't like it, you have to cross the street and you have my gloves and then if you say it's not ok, they get aggressive, difficult. that's on the part of my view, linda political de criminalized, own narcotics in 2001. no matter how dangerous anyone found in possession of less than 10 day supply. now jessica, so fine, only dealers go to jail. we're on the road with police trade unionist who come more a, a. this is a drunk dealing area. is a big way he is in the back there is there meetings, the warranty? it's better to avoid it because they can get lost by putting together the

dealing is still prohibited. most drunk trains are made behind closed doors. while outdoor consumption isn't allowed, it really has legal consequences. it really my key escape planes were no longer allowed to around consumers. and the problem is that we come across more and more, which always seems like this was not the police have had their hands tied to this quiz. then if he's pretty soon as i saw for a few of those who can call to offer therapy and drug centers like this one was supposed to drones uses off the streets. but this is the only one in on of portez show outcomes a daily to smoke, a comp time of heroin and cocaine, under supervision of the over 2 months. so we're human beings will $670.00 to dictate to drug. so we need a lot of houses. we'll examine, we do a psychologist, deanna,

castro is proud of particles drunk law. she says it's a way to entice those affected to the shadows. after all, there are few a drunk dance. now windows key and this is also cleaning out of the saddle when drug use is a crime. who's the attic stay hidden. so see off the social radar? no, no. they don't accept treatment offers. simply because they're viewed as criminals . so i'll go see that was going to be not as people in need of health on us can assist you from. they are for you this so but that's clearly a lack of treatment surfaces. critics, 5th public safety. it's an untenable state of affairs for put, treat, see a rep as old time cheese the district map of remo. to want to portez problem neighborhoods, sold the meals on either side. this feeling of fear at the us of turning around and looking to see if someone will be hind you towards the sea though. it's unacceptable for the full force please. yeah,

we need more police as we see more patrols on the street, the less who wish the police you and you know, also calling for top emissions the. we're doing our job doing our rounds. yes. that'd be open but if there are no consequences, difficult. i think we use the facility that takes the users and forces them to accept the treatment of i mean, so my facility with enough resources and professionals to care for their knowledge, whether or not to bring out an individual, often more than 20 years of liberal and drunk policies, it is time to act says residents, christiano, silver, caring for addicts is all very well, but not at the expense of protecting the population easily. 1 a couple of it all leads to a sense that they can do what they like with impunity. people then gets a pretty dangerous spiral. yes, the scholars is less than the ability to also things settled down. debating

christiano is neighborhood after a big police operation. but some of the drugs seem just moved to another part of town, something that clearly doesn't solve portez problem. a single post on social media has the power to change lives and happen to assess you and yeah, cause born with down syndrome. an online post sparked a new wave of solidarity and brief new life into the cafe where he works. it's in the boston m town of tools lab. the cafe is unique because it employs people with disabilities, and they are devoted to their jobs. so when word spread, it was pacing closure. the community rallied of his job means everything to sasha showing you. ok. he works almost every day at the clubs, me over search for dragons part club, cafe and such. it has the heart of a fighter. he doesn't give up, even when the going gets tough. the file manager said it makes me so happy. i'm

full of joy. let's say lima pony. i love working here and i always love it. rolling the i the more the a top i could work here. 24 hours without to break it to the mid up in a few that his colleagues, forest cruz, whom of that you can't speak, but with definitely 2nd that he even wanted to put a bed in the cafe so he could spend the night there. the 2 of them are fortunate. the cafe project is the only one of its kind in bosnia, almost as you can see in their faces and the faces of their families. but the cafe is become like a 2nd home for them causes the only because let me see what needs to be with the parent say that they've never been happier. so that was one of the project was

actually on the brink of failure. in the 1st few months, hardly any guests came. the cafe next door was full to the brim. but not so the dragon's heart. apart from edema offended genus. the writer has known such as since childhood. she visits him in the cafe almost every day. one saturday, a few weeks ago, she was the only guest, an old man took a photo of her. no, no, i didn't know mer took my picture. we were sitting there chatting to schedule it and he said he was going to post that the club was closing at the end of the month . is that okay? um yeah, i said, oh, come on. it doesn't have to come to that. and he said we can survive this financially. macintosh, a post them after post. everything changed is a very special this, it 1st the regional media reports it on it. then it went nationwide was and so

suddenly we were full from morning till night. of course, if this would not be the 1st 23 weeks, you couldn't get a table here for the rest of the for that some of them. yes. so it was a miracle they say, since then the cafe has been doing great. the guests pile on the praise model i'm going to treat though, like coffee. i'm telling you it's one of the best caches we need today. tidy, almost pedantic, became a cheese and the service is top class. something was to go ahead and be circle me. well, i was quite surprised at 1st. i didn't expect it, but it makes no difference. i think they even stares me and the others with a bit more respect and friendliness than you'd see elsewhere. similar projects are set to open in other locations. the dragon's hard cafe is just the beginning, but up promising one of the drugs of
