to our auctions, our water off food off seems that is so much around us. that is for you to well, let's talk about something that we don't sure. hello and welcome. i'm sorry. got the body and you all watching eco, india. why? so many of us, almost all of us actively contribute to polluting are planted. that is very little that we are do to reduce to solution as well as knowing is the 1st step towards doing sort of dive into today is episode i know more about what can be done to reduce this pollution. traditional rims are always so colorful and detail and so beautifully, i mean, who doesn't fluff them. but that is also a downside to traditional di and frenzy. and that is what to produce. in fact, with excited industry across to what is what is incentive. and that is a major problem. much, is there no way that we don't waste so much water and can still get these the your
3:03 am
to for please? well, let's head to the 6 side hub off in the western states of woods rock in bo dot to find out if this is possible. pretty good if we take style made in india. on the flip side, the issues fixed i production contributes to roughly 20 percent of global water pollution, especially to dine on finishing processes. india has been suffering from a severe voltage sizes for years now, not only due to climate change, but also as a result of the over use of water the okay, we need to understand that the conventional dying infringing is what that intensive in doing a quarter. these are trying to come to the prompt and environmental regulations increasingly, dom on 0, liquid discharge, meaning company will be asked to avoid discharging the wastewater beyond the site
3:04 am
boundaries of the factories. sounds good, but what is the reality in the state of good job has over 1500 medium and large dig site companies, making it one of the boys largest fixed i hops. but diamond again, companies discharge the waste water and feed it into the device as water purification technologies make production more expensive and reduce profits. a company in good jobs, but to adjust city is doing things differently. both a homegrown enterprise of android drawers value is an auto, as ons recycles all of its base water. we are also certified most of the call what they call a 0 discharge of 0 discharge units means that we do not discharge any of these to water. that all over east water is the sites that are within one workshop. and the result that we get out of these practices is walker, that is good enough to be cited in my own unit. there's actually also with enough

food decides in the open ground or to use 40 degrees body treats all of its based water naturally. co founder for the same ha, demonstrates bodies primary treatment will fix diabetes, water therefore, correlation process which uses line and l. you can already see if you go up close that the flux are starting to form and very soon they will settle down to the bottom. few flux formed. the big left is a spot because the alum and lime solution hits the popped goes clumped together. the bigger the cluster, the easier it is to remove them. you can see the slide settled at the bottom. the water off on, on top is more or less clear. if it is left for more time, it will become crystal clear on these gone up on patients, not on demand to the godaddy out of vitals installation process, and can even remove heavy metals. the land offline for say is lovely. and
3:06 am
lucy, the roots of the cannot blond are the ones that cost the back b as the water process to this organically it, it takes assigned to bed, and then up a little bit and disappeared. so any suspended particles that i left in the water. i cracked in the filter recycling base water is one way to reduce spot to pollution, but the metric chosen the fabric printing can reduce the amount of base water in the 1st place. good job based speciality chemicals company xhylia x has replaced conventional reactive printing with the most sustainable alternative printing with pigment kill instead of transferring dies directly onto the optics pigment based i printed on to them and then killed the advantages minimally what their consumption know, post processing i know iphone screen and to epic on its latest printing integration . the company says it has overcome the disadvantages,
3:07 am
usually associated with big been printing. this is a big lender based printing from okay. but for the 1st time, we are matching the performance off of the active printing. and now this going to be elected with the respect to the feet of the fabric and the end of the production cycle. it going to be with respect to the washing of resistance and it could it be also with respect to the rubbing it as a vi the existing need reportedly has slipped save 75 percent of the what the typically used in reactive printing. and it's, and no g consumption has decreased by 55 percent at the body. recycling an average of 1000 liters of water each day has helped keep its commitment using a bulk run towards this water. then industry standards makes up of biological
3:08 am
solutions that both xhylia x and o body has come up with a and it does help in mitigating the problem of what a pollution those small. it's me, i p, i was very small, but it is a practical solution which of course, but the commitment on top of monitoring and assessment of it can be made into a model which can be that p cases and bodies haul best thing of lean water for production may ultimately be boxed replicating. the salt water contains fuel, many of those then ground water resulting in more consistent colors that don't wash out so easily. it falls to think about the most dangerous stifle waste in the world. i've such in the tank of nuclear, at least there are about 415 new to
3:09 am
a follow up alonzo across the world and 23 here in india. and in fact, being in government has said that they plan on increasing the power generation capacity of these power plants. they also came that these follow salons are clean and environment friendly, which is also crucial for india to meet its global net 0 targets box. the small appliance oil storage and today to read you left the waste, which will not managed properly can prove to the needs here, which has also been reported in some of the reports that you see. but when lynn has found a solution for this need to be aware, i'm in the solution that might be several learnings for the rest of the ones. so we've arrived at minus $437.00 me cuz on the ground we're inside the only final storage facility for spent nuclear fuel in the world. there's going to be basically no danger of within the next hundreds of thousands of years. this tunnel is defined, the ground is supposed to be the game changer for nuclear waste. there
3:10 am
a quarter of a 1000000 tons of nuclear waste just lying around across the globe. in some cases lead to talk sense into the environment. and nobody really knows exactly what to do with it yet, except for the fence. so how did they do it? and does this mean we've sold the nuclear waste problem once and for? when i 1st had the, since we're building a nuclear waste deposit site, i thought it was going to be in the middle of nowhere like in the optic circle. so no, it's actually just a 3 hour call right away from housing in a municipality of almost 10000 people cold air. which also happens to be home to europe's largest nuclear reactive municipality actually bid to the site and was selected from full possible locations. construction started in 2004. right next to the pallet on. cell is quite straightforward, doesn't that. but it's actually really remarkable that this happens. because the
3:11 am
final disposal facility of a spent nuclear fuel has to keep highly radioactive waste from leaking into the environment. for a couple of 100000 years. to put that into perspective, a couple of ice ages will have come and gone, invest fine. that needs decades of discussions, planning and careful selection of sites and the feet of engineering. other countries with nuclear power plants have also been looking for their own permanent storage sites. but nobody has even started construction anywhere else. whether your pro or anti nuclear energy. this problem needs a solution fast because the waste is piling up and sometimes inadequate interim storage sides worldwide, but not in finland. also decades of research and construction, the site called and carlo case, whole and finish, is about to start operating in the next few years. the project is financed by the finish nuclear power companies, which are probably owned by the finish date. the
3:12 am
ready to, to the trip down takes almost a quarter of an hour. so we've arrived at minus 437 meters on the ground. yeah, definitely feels like a cave all around us is crystalline bedrock, a mixture of granite and the rocks cold making a tight. and that's the 1st key to why this place was chosen to store the nuclear waste. the age of the wrong guess. almost 2000000000 years. it's a rather on fractured rather dry. you know, we don't have a lot of front water moments in here. i'm to your son is the head geologist at the company responsible for the facility. the whole struggle needs to be on. we're
3:13 am
seeing a sense that there is no economic, all the things that, that future generations will like to be out from their own. but finding the right, the rock is just the 1st step. because nuclear waste is unlike any other waste. they have 3 main types, low level, intermediate, and high level waste. low level waste is usually stuff that came into contact with radioactive material, like protective equipment filters or medical waste. intermediate waste equipment used in nuclear plants or weapons production like pipes, so insulating material. this can stay radioactive for a couple of 100. yes. the deacons, terminated and disposed of in low level waste sites on the oval ground, up to 99 percent of all nuclear waste falls into that category. the one percent of high level radioactive waste is the most problematic. one that consists mostly i've spent nuclear fuel rods,
3:14 am
but it also includes waste from nuclear weapons production. spend broad still contain lots of energy enough to emit heat and remain radioactive up to him. 1000000. yes, and that weighs to sitting and cooling pools or in dry caustics around the world. a total of over a quarter of a 1000000 metric tons says the international atomic energy agency. that's as heavy as 26 eiffel towers. and some of it is leaking radioactive materials. the best solution for handling and safely is burying is deep on the ground and leaving it to the k for a couple of 100000 years until it isn't dangerous anymore. to prevent the radioactivity from the rods from leaking in the meantime, it needs to be in case properly in finland, the spent fuel rods are sealed into 5 cent. you meet the 2nd and around 5, meet the high corporate canisters. they have been transported on the ground with a hoist, pulls of drilled into the bedrock along very long tunnels. the canisters are then
3:15 am
put into the holes as in this demo drilling. wow. so deep, you can hear my echo. then the whole is filled up with bentonite play, which is also used as capital to i can absorb ground water that might sleep in and corrode the corporate kind of stuff. and finally, the tunnel is back filled with the same material and sealed with a 6 me to sick concrete slab. as you can see here in this demonstration tunnel, those capsules or canisters are the most controversial part of the whole nuclear waste repository. the problem is, what happens if they've been denied laya, has defects, or as damage and ground water containing sulfide and hydrogen does reach the canister. research as have shown in multiple studies that copper could corrode, and the canisters could fail much faster. and the company in charge as calculated, possibly already in
3:16 am
a time span of decades. research on this is ongoing and the topic is a highly debated in the scientific community. but the sounds of a finished nuclear safety authority and pals, eva, is that the uncertainty isn't so high that they would pose a significant risk. and they stress that the kind of stuff is just one protective layer of many condo is meant to house all the future ways to finland's existing nuclear power plants. nor is it clear how future generations will be able to tell that radioactive waste is located here, or if it should be kept unlocked. but that's a question for another video. but even so, finland is way ahead of most nations. maybe because of a unique mentality, one, a role in there might be with bab, correct? my big mindset, the fin finished people there as being a kind of a mutual consensus that we need to take care of the waste not to leave them to the future. it's in that race sense. there has been very
3:17 am
little pulsation from the society even a small amount of nuclear, the skin seems to be lead to, it's not managed properly as we just saw. but we also feel that things like these are pretty homeless. well, maybe a single one to a certain extent, for sure. but when it's a millions of these across the globe every with, then they become very dangerous for the planet. so to find one such a nuisance, today we are waiting to meet not assigned this non duty, such to the young good, who is doing something about this plastic waste that we are generate. so casually of the of the ghosts of gen, a scuba diver, ivan and his 9 year old daughter getting ready for the day. the good cause an exception to toby and with that, my name is tyler di yet,
3:18 am
and i am 9 years old. i'm studying in the 4th grade. i clean up for that. i'm in the ocean on the show him my product go fish. as well as the money lies for then i have collected 1000 kilograms, helped us to get it of plastics. it and i know been on her 1st diving her father and most surprised by what she so how do you really yeah, beautifully fish present and basically the same warranty to plastics and that made me realize that i needed to head to become law states. the oceans, the environment, and the law must be protected. that's when the port popped is i looked on. the beach is popular among tutors. have a lot of plastic god which mainly single use items i log onto. but if you will observe carefully and walk for just 10 minutes, you will notice that there are mod working gaps, then bought those people to dispose of the bottles. although they out of it, they tend to forget about the gaps up and similarly operating some done. many white
3:19 am
plastic bowlens that often discarded that is that draw the similarly yellow backs we getty from homes are done with plastic colored items, despite efforts, the only solution to end this pollution is to stop it from being manufactured in the bottom of the boat. the environment and marine life are impacted by the presence of this plastic waste. now and no, not that much met him home on monday as i was heading. do not me shoot him. we've been diving. we spotted a long, kind of also known as pico, drab. and did you know? no, i look for, you know, mark these sensible in the new bomb. so exactly declining in population. it's not just in to the following monday. life is like that. it shouldn't do 2 nets and plastic plastic. the other one that's solid on this for this sea glass beds where do guns grease unimportant habitats for many marine species. these ideas provide reading on feeding grounds for mediaspace, invertebrates by maintaining seed was equal systems do. gongs indirectly support
3:20 am
the bio diversity of marine life. i fall and my dad has been diving for 18 years and has gather 30000 kilograms of plastic. now maybe even more, no, i have been diving only for 3 years. watching of like much native menial organizations have invited my father and i to have along with my father and i, my father's friends lawyer 1st come together, the plastic, put them on the ottoman and on the lead. the weekly plastic clean up efforts with nearby, willing to use choice, keen interest in joining this mission, highlighting a growing community dedicated to environmental conservation. natalie agreed to meet on the cleanup drive 3 days. i mean, we travel to 5 to 6 meters into the ocean as that. so we have that oxide look at doing drugs. the oxide located plastic is negatively caught on their ox present in the area. and then we get it next in plastics and bring them back to the show and we dispose of the database properly to the computation visa, displace money to other
3:21 am
than has created a van. it's about plastic pollution that has brought about positive change and enthusiasm among the property where the to anybody and i go to 3 days after these. don't we go fishing and you can observe deadman that we catch any fish or not. beyond just collect significant amounts of plastic. we collect enough plastic, the filling in data portals. we did the plastic card in the near the store that i start on the short and handed over to the person responsible for garbage collection . roughly 50 to 100 people, including or community. have you stop 20 plus speaking to the ocean. yeah, i know. and the last thing on the bottom of the not good every year goes to the community is gone to boot an estimated 1 point one to 8800000 tons of plastic waste of the ocean. a new book, but only to go to the color. i'm never taken by you may not be able to clean the entire ocean. we definitely aim to hopefully seen at least 5. let me does. okay,
3:22 am
go to mazda, be hope to succeed. and i'll go down and go ahead, better, go, put them on. i'm. i got a little bit of a drawing and medical. the youngest members of the coastal communities are still heading plans for recycling. the connected plastic in a group. i'm going to go into the biggest to open the find the children these to didn't go home and pressing get better and more if the water gets polluted on, the fish gets sick. so when you eat that fish, once you get infected, as they explained to me and i've been via a witness 1st time, but the fishes become though i'm good and tangled in the plastic fish. but even notice that the oceans have become daddy, they informed the offense, i have been children, i'll be off this. it's a great victory. plenty of it to successful. the last ticket obligation, hinges on collaboration between coastal conservation group school that i was on the general public. but now with all that, it can be done just by one person. but there are many people like be wired like including school, but i was money in biologist and numerous and use and the public the must come together to avoid losing plastics. what else we will continue cleaning up until the
3:23 am
plastic tree in the origin of plastic free really starts with awareness about how damaging gnostic really is. a lot of us to feed, well those who live in high rise buildings often complain that there is very new to that we can do about the garbage that we generates within our home inside and just the city of daily reduces or 11th housing sounds, a solid waste every day. and of course the recycling management of segregation is a major problem. even if organic waste has stepped aside within the rooms for segregation of the all clever, sort of and shows that all of this waste ends up in the lances. but there is an ideal apartments in the southern city of gen 9, which is showing us a completely different picture when it comes to dealing with ways doing cooking, this woman does something that not many of tennis, 6 and
3:24 am
a half 1000000 residents do. she separates the organic waist and throw that into a green bin. the other 30 plus families in her apartment complex to the same. but they are something of an exception here in the capital of the indian state of them and not a line since marietta. there are a lot of landfills and the waves does not degree popular. so it was a check for the next generation. i mean, the 1st building and he has to do whatever i can when shopping, food and vegetables. obviously, i to the waste into the bucket for compose to blue cash fund. i've also given clear instructions to my domestic logo and even my young son who knows about it now. we should take the small tomatoes to keep the, an environment clean and handled. um we had till about 4 years. janetta residents have actually been obliged to separate their organic waste. but hardly anyone.
3:25 am
complaints. it's supposed to become fostered by the city and specialist facilities . instead it ends up in landfill with other trash. greenhouse gases, like meetings are released as the organic waste. so the residence of this apartment complex decided not just a separate deal organic wrist, but they've gone, posted themselves to it takes $45.00 days to turn it into naturally for the lives of 6 tons of combustible. these type being saved from land since since 2019 and the electronic, the daily from both blocks united inside. it's around 10 to 12 kilograms body. so mos on. so that's about 300 kilograms per month by the cycling. and this way we get 250 kilograms and it also it lives under k. i use it for our own garden plants and to give it to others us for it to me, they advocate, i learned a lot of the for but even here, not everyone. welcome to project at 1st or whatever the letting you let them go,
3:26 am
the thought about this, please segregation procedure. i thought it was just on mississippi. it's telling me yeah. and the movie laid out on it to you, but later i realize the motive behind it play i'm reading and is we're making use of this biodegradable weeks of that. but i'm not really going fertilize our own god in the law. should it be a lot? we're not going any ways outside of the city. what are you going to get? but if this is possible for our 36 lavish today, i hope that on the other apartments can initiated to this. yeah. must the left like on a monday. so you live in the residence of this really model apartment complex are now advertising their project or doing their neighbors to follow suit thing and again in the office i don't make any yeah, there's no profit for us and busy if not, our main more for doing i is to help the government keep the environment clean and to avoid dumping waste and landfill. you've got other mean motivation or that somebody that need to that we need if it goes to use. but
3:27 am
there are several smaller things that are me, the cost intensive, nor time intensive that we can do, and these things can seamlessly become a part of our lifestyle. are there any such practices that you follow to reduce pollution? let me know you can email us or reach out to me directly on my social media handles . i will see you next week until then take care. goodbye. left us. the
