6:30 am
will clearly have the solutions, the future is 77 percent every weekend on dw, the, our options are water off food, off themes, that is so much around us that is for you to well, let's talk about some things that we don't. sure. hello and welcome. i'm sorry, got the body and you're all watching eco, india. why so many of us, almost all of us actively contribute to polluting our planet. that is very little that we are due to reduce the solution. and well, knowing is the 1st step towards doing sort of dive into today's episode. i know more about what can be done to reduce this pollution. the additional prints are all
6:31 am
list so colorful and detail and so beautifully. i mean, who doesn't fluff them, but that is also a downside to traditional di and shrinking. and that is what happens. in fact, it's exciting this 3 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 to 4, please? well, let's head to the 6 die 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, dirty if you fix the production contributes to roughly 20 percent of global water pollution especially to dying on finishing processes. india has been suffering from a silvia voltage prices for years. now. not only due to climate change,
6:32 am
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 companies are being us to avoid discharging the waste water beyond the site 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 reverse. as water purification technologies make production more expensive and reduced profits. a company in good jobs, but we'll just city is doing things differently. both a homegrown enterprise of android drawers values an autism. it's lisa,
6:33 am
it goes all of its base water. they're 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 what that is good enough to be cycling in my own unit. there's activity also with enough food decides in the open ground or to use 40 degrees. your body treats all of its best water naturally. co founder clips in ha demonstrates bodies primary treatment will fix diabetes, water therefore correlation process which uses line and l. you can already see if we go up close that the flux are starting to form and very soon they will settle down to the bottom. few blocks of foamed the big clusters of particles. the alum and limes solution has the popped goes clumped together. the bigger the cluster,
6:34 am
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 isn't left for more time, it will become crystal clear on these, gone up on patients on not on demand to the godaddy out of vitals installation process and can even remove heavy metals land offline policies. luckily anything that most of the came up a lot of the ones that cost the best b as the water process to this organically it, it picks assigned to bed and then up a little bit and disappear. so any suspended cart, because if i left in the water like straps and the filter, recycling baseboard is one way to reduce for the pollution, but the method 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
6:35 am
conventional reactive printing with the most sustainable or done it is printing with big kill instead of transferring dies directly onto the optics pigment based on printed on to them and then killed the advantages minimal water consumption. know, post processing a new iphone stream and to epic on its latest printing integration. the company says it has overcome the disadvantages, 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 of the active printing. now this going to be elected with the respect to the feet of the fabric at the end of the production cycle. it could be with respect to the washing of resistance. and it could be also with respect to the rubbing it as a step zyprexa. this technique is reportedly help save save 75 percent of the what
6:36 am
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 both. the each d has to keep its commitment using about one towards this smarter than industry standards to make the biological solutions that both xilinx and of body has come up with a and it does help in mitigating the problem of a what a pollution those smaller it's me up, we are very small, but it is a practical solution which of course with the commitment on top of monitoring and assessment, it's can be made into a margin which can be that p k fits and bodies. how best thing of lean water for production may ultimately be books, applicators,
6:37 am
the soft water contains fuel. many of those done john porter, resulting in more consistent colors that don't wash out so easily. it falls to think about the most dangerous stifle waste and the what i've such and the pains of nuclear, at least there are about $415.00 nuclear power plants across the world and $23.00 here in india. and in fact, being in government has said that they plan on increasing the power generation capacity of these follow 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 entity to read us to waste, which will not managed properly, can prove to be nature, which has also been reported in 7 years. reports that you see. but finland has found a solution for this new theories. i'm in the solution that might be several learnings
6:38 am
for the rest of the one. 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 an all day in europe within the next hundreds of thousands of years. this tunnel is deep on the ground is supposed to be the game changer for nuclear waste. there a quarter of a 1000000 tons of nuclear waste, just lying around across the globe, in some cases, leasing, talk sense into the environment. and nobody really knows exec actually 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 one central 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 healthy municipality of almost 10000 people cold
6:39 am
air. which also happens to be home to europe's largest nuclear reactive municipality actually been to the site and was selected from full possible locations. construction started in 2004. right next to the pallet on. sounds quite straightforward, doesn't that? but it's actually really remarkable that this happened because of 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 and that's 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. when they, your pro or anti nuclear energy. this problem needs
6:40 am
a solution fast because the waste is piling up and sometimes an adequate 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 possibly owned by the finish date. we're ready to go. the trip down take almost a quarter of an hour. the so either rise, the minus 437 meters on the ground. yeah, definitely feels like a cave all around us is christa line bedrock, a mixture of granite and the rock coals making
6:41 am
a tight. and that's the 1st key to why this place was chosen to store the nuclear waste. the age of the rock, it's almost 2000000000 years. it's a rather on fractured rather dry. you know, we don't have a lot of fraud. what a moments in here i'm to your son is the head geologist at the company responsible for the facility. the whole struck needs to be on worth a, in a sense that there is no economic, all the things that, that future generations for likes to be called 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 is equipment used in nuclear plants or weapons production like pipes. so insulating material.
6:42 am
this can stay radioactive for a couple of 100. yes. they are contaminated and disposed of and 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. ready that consists mostly of spent nuclear fuel rods, but it also includes waste from nuclear weapons production. spend prod, still contain lots of energy enough to him, it heat and remain radioactive up to a 1000000. yes. and that ways to sitting and cooling pools or in dry costs 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 material. the best solution for handling it safely is burying a deep on the ground and leaving it to the k for
6:43 am
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 meter high copper 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 put into the holes as in this demo drilling. wow. so deep, you can hear my echo. then the whole is filled up with band tonight play, which is also used as capital into i can absorb ground water that might sleep in and corrode and accomplish kind of stuff. and finally, the tunnel is back filled with the same material and sealed with a 6 me to 6 concrete slab. as you can see here in this demonstration tunnel,
6:44 am
those capsules or canisters are the most controversial part of the whole nuclear waste repository. the problem is, what happens if the band tonight laya, has defects or is damage and ground water containing sulfide and hydrogen does reach the canister. research as of shown in multiple studies that copper could corrode and the canisters could fail much faster then the company in charge has calculated possibly already in a time span of decades. research on this is ongoing and the topic is highly debated in the scientific community. but the stance of the finished nuclear safety o, sorry t and pas eva, is that the uncertainty isn't so high that it would pose a significant risk. and they stress that the canister 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,
6:45 am
but that's the 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 little pulsation from the society even a small amount of new people, these can 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 ones, that's a new ocean. today we are waiting to meet not assigned this, not any such too much
6:46 am
a young good, who is doing something about this plastic waste that we are generate. so casually of the of the ghosts of jane, a scuba diver, ivan and his 9 year old daughter getting ready for the day. the good cause an exception to the colby and says that my name is diana. i am 9 years old on the farm and studying in the 4th grade. i clean up that i'm in the ocean on the shore. my products to fit, as well as the money lies for them. i have collected 1000 kilograms, dustin and get it of plastics. it and i know been on her 1st diving her father and most surprised by what she so funny. yeah. beautiful fish present. and basically the same quantity of plastics in this that made me realize that i needed to says become plastics. the oceans,
6:47 am
the environment and the must be protected. that's when the thought popped in a little talking to 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 mode 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, updating some done, many white plastic spoons that often discarded that is that really, you know, similarly yellow, baxley 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 impacted by the presence of this plastic waste. now and no, not that much met him home on monday as i went ahead and do it on me, should've been diving. we supported long kind of also known as psycho drab. and did you know? no, i look for you know, mark these sensibly,
6:48 am
new bombs or deputy declining in population. it's not just in to the following monday night. feel like they just shouldn't do 2 nets and plastic plastic. the other one is solid on this for this. see glass beds where do guns grease unimportant habitats for many marine species. these abs provide reading on feeding grounds for various fish in water bits by maintaining seed was equal systems do. gongs indirectly support the bio diversity of marine life i saw. 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. many 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 ottomans and on the lead, the weekly plastic cleanup efforts with nearby, willing to use choice,
6:49 am
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 traveled 5 to 6 meters into the ocean as best we have that oxide look at doing drugs. the oxide located plastic is inevitably caught on the rocks preventing the area and then we get it next and plastics and bring them back to the show and we dispose of the database properly to the cooperation visa dispos. many of them has created a band. it's about plastic pollution that has brought about positive change and into z as in among the public. when the to anybody and i go to 3 days after these don't be go fishing, you can observe. they're going to be catch any fish or not be on just collect significant amounts of plastic. we collect enough plastic, the filling in data port. we take the plastic card in the near to store that i start on the short and hand it over to the person responsible for garbage connection, roughly 50 to 100 people,
6:50 am
including over the community. have you stop at 20 plus speaking to the ocean? yeah, i know in the plastic understanding of what i'm, what i am not good every year goes to communities gone to boot an estimated 1 point one to 8800000 tons of plastic waste through the ocean. at the bottom. i don't need to go to color and double check and learn via you may not be able to clean the entire ocean. we definitely aim to hopefully seen at least 5 kilometers. okay, go to mazda the whole, to succeed somebody on board, and i'll go down on the, 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 great, i'm going to going to come up, i guess, to open the for the children, these children go home and pressing that that, and mom, 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 weakness 1st time, but the fishes become though i'm good and tangled, and the plastic fish, they even notice that the oceans have become dowdy. they informed the veterans. i
6:51 am
have been children, i'll be off this. it's a great victory. any event, a successful loss ticket obligation, hinges on collaboration between coastal conservation group school, the drivers and the general public. but now with all of 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 using plastics . what else we will continue cleaning up until the plastic tree in the region of plastics. we've really starts with a when it's 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 homes. inside just the city of daily produces or 11000 tons of solid waste. every day and of course, recycling management's segregation is a major problem. even if organic waste is kept decided within the rooms for
6:52 am
segregation of the block level, sort of in 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 a half 1000000 residents do. she separates the organic waist and throws it 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 time and not 9 since maria. there are a lot of landfills and the waves does not degree popular sort poses a threat for the next generation of being the 1st building and he has to do whatever i can when shopping, food and vegetables. i to the waste into the bucket for combustible trash. i've
6:53 am
also given clear instructions to my domestic logo and even my young son who knows about it now. they should take the small majors to keep the environment clean and handled. um we have to look on the part of the 4 years. janetta residents have actually been obliged to separate their organic waste but hardly anyone. 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 residents of this apartment complex decided not just a separate deal organic waste, but to accomplish 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,
6:54 am
the daily from both blocks united inside the name. it's around 10 to 12 kilograms body, so moslems. so that's about 300 kilograms per month by the cycling in this way. we get 250 kilograms and it also to laser and say i use it for our own garden plans and to give it to others and ask for it to me. they advocate, i don't know what of the people, but even here, not everyone. welcome to project at 1st level than letting you let them go the so about this please segregation procedure which i thought it was just unnecessary. it's totally, yeah, no matter the layout i meant to you, but later i realize the motive behind it lay. i'm reading and as we're making use of this biodegradable weeks to have that, but i'm not really going fertilize our own god in the cloud. should it be a lot? we're not going any ways outside of the city. what are you going to get if this is possible for 36 labs today? i hope that on the other apartments can initiated to this. yeah, i'm up the left like on
6:55 am
a day model is 11 residents of this role model. apartment complex are now advertising the project or doing their neighbors to follow suit thing and we get an appropriate that doesn't make any. yeah, there's no profit for us and busy. if not, our main motive for doing i is to help the government keep the environment clean and to avoid dumping waste in landfill. these are the main motivation or that sound great if i need to as we need, if it goes to use. but there are several smaller things that are me, the cost intensive, nor time intensive that we can do, and these things can seem as to become a part of our lifestyle. are there any such practices that you will follow to reduce pollution? do 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 off the

but my grandson, leaving home can be contemptuous, but for different reasons. and the child would then go to another country. why would that be good if i'm afraid that she would be murdered or to that us in the when generations question then 19 minutes. the people in trucks injured when trying to feed a city center and more refugees are being turned away as the board families on the tax in syria visa credit straight to if he explained to his son around the world. more than 100 and special speaking right, we should have to imagine
