9:30 am
of the the c w, this is everything off, it is available to them and it has never been since that the, our options are water or food off themes. there's so much around of the dentist for you to well, let's talk about some things that we don't to. 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 orthodontics. that is very little that we are do to reduce the solution. and well, knowing is the 1st step towards doing so that's dive into today's episode. i know
9:31 am
more about what can be done to reduce this pollution. traditional rooms are or later so colorful in detail and so beautifully, i mean, who doesn't love that, but that is also a downside piece traditionally di and fringy. and that is wonderful news. in fact, that's exciting. this 3 across the was, is what it intensive. and that is a major problem. much, is there no way that we don't waste so much water and can still get these beautiful prints? well, let's head to the 6 die hub off in the rest and state of woods off in bo. now to find out if this is possible, pretty gulf with big style made in india. on the flip side, dirty issues, fixed i production, contributes to roughly 20 percent of global water pollution, especially to dine. i'm finishing processes in
9:32 am
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 ending authorities are trying to come to the prompt and environmental regulations increasingly, dom on 0, liquid discharge, meaning companies are being asked to avoid discharging the wastewater beyond the site boundaries of the of factories, sounds good, but what does the reality? india state of good job has over 1500, medium and large, big side companies, making it one of the boys largest fixed i hops like diamond again, companies discharge bare waste water and feed it into the device as water beautification technologies make production more expensive and reduce profits, a company in good jobs,
9:33 am
but to adjust city is doing things differently. body homegrown enterprise of android drawers dials and autism recycles all of its based water. we have also certified that most of the call, what they call the 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. the other one workshop. and the result that we get out of these practices is water. that is good enough to recycle in my own unit. there's actually also good enough to decide in the open ground or to use 40 degrees your body treats all of its based what the naturally go found to deep cent huh. demonstrates bodies primary treatment will fix diabetes. water, therefore, correlation process which uses line an element and you can already see if we go up close, that the flux are starting to form and very soon that was settled on to the bottom . few blocks are formed the big plus, there's
9:34 am
a spot because the alum and line solution helps the profit goes clumped together. the bigger the cluster, the easier it is to remove them. you can see the flood seconds at the bottom. the water off on control is more or less clear if it is left for more time, it will become crystal clear on these can up on patients on not on demand to the guy the out, a vital situation crosses and can even remove heavy metals. the plan offline for phase. luckily here let's see the roots of the came up along the once. the cost of the as the water process who does organically it, it takes assigned a bit and then they move it and disappear. so any suspended part because they've been left in the water straps in the face, the recycling baseboard is one way to reduce water 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
9:35 am
conventional reactive printing with the most the statement, but alternative printing with pigment to instead of transferring dies directly onto fabrics, pigment based i 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 activities. now this going to be elected with respect to the feet of the fabric and the end of the production cycle . it could be with respect to the washing of resistance. and it could be also with
9:36 am
respect to the rubbing of resistance xyz x. this technique reportedly has slipped save. 75 percent of the water is typically used in reactive printing. and it's energy consumption has decreased by 55 percent at body recycling, an average of 1000 liters of water each day has heads. good. keep its commitment using a bulk run towards this water. then industry standards that make the biological solutions that both zyprexa and both he has come up with a does his in mitigating the problem of what a pollution those small and it's, it's me, i'm very small, but it is a practical solution which of course with the commitment and problem monitoring and assessment of it can be made into a model which can be that p k fits and bodies hall. best
9:37 am
thing of lean water for production may ultimately be books replicating. the salt 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 in the world. i've such in the panes of nuclear, at least there are about $415.00 nuclear power plants across the world and $23.00 here in india. and in fact, even government has said that they plan on increasing the power generation capacity of these follow plants. they also came that these follow for alonzo are clean and environment friendly, which is also crucial for india to meet its global net 0 targets box. the small appliance also generates read us to waste, which will not manage properly can prove to the nature which has also been reported in some of the reports that you see. but finland has found
9:38 am
a solution for this media with. 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 gonna be basically an all day in europe within the next hundreds of thousands of years. this tunnels 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 leave 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
9:39 am
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 been to the site and was selected from full possible locations. construction started in 2004 right next to the power plant. cell is quite straightforward, doesn't that, but it's actually really remarkable that this happens because of final disposal facility is 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 age is, 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. whether your
9:40 am
pro or anti nuclear energy. this problem needs 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 cold 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. we're 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 christa line bedrock,
9:41 am
a mixture of granite and the rock calls 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 worth a, in a sense that there is no economic, all the things that, that future generations for likes to beat 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 intermediates 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
9:42 am
used in nuclear plants or weapons production like pipes. so insulating material. 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 one 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 1000000. yes. and that weighs 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 materials. the best solution for handling it safely is burying
9:43 am
a 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 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 calculator. i can absorb ground water that might sleep in and corrode and accomplish kind of stuff. ready and finally, the tunnel is back filled with the same material and seals with a 6 me to 6 concrete slab. as you can see here in this demonstration tunnel. 2
9:44 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 damaged and ground water containing sulfide and hydrogen does it 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 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 stands of the finished nuclear safety o, sorry t and pas eva, is that the uncertainty isn't so high that they 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 the finland's existing nuclear power plants. nor is it clear how future generations will be able to tell that
9:45 am
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, the 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 ways not to leave them to the future. to in that race sense. there has been very 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 harmless. well, maybe a single one to a certain extent, for sure. but when it's a millions of these across the globe, every with them,
9:46 am
they become very dangerous for the planet. so to find one such a nuisance. today we went to meet not assigned this, not any such a much a young good. who is doing something about this plastic waste, that'd be all generate. so casually, both the goal is to obtain a scuba diver, ivan and his 9 year old daughter getting ready for the day. the good has an exception to toby and with that, my name is tyler di yet, and i am 9 years old on the farm and studying in the 4th grade. i clean up grade that i'm in the ocean on the show him by products to fish. as well as the money lice for then i have collected 1000 kilograms from dustin and gave you the last, you know, bank on her 1st diving her father and most surprised by what she saw. how do you really yeah, beautifully, fish present. and basically the same warranty deal plastics in this that made me
9:47 am
realize that i needed to says become plastics. the oceans, the environment and the must be protected. that's when the thought popped is i looked on. the beach is popular among students. have a lot of plastic god which mainly single use items a lot going to but if you all get fully involved for just 10 minutes, you will notice that there are mode working gaps then bought those people to dispose of the bottle. although they out of it, they tend to forget about the gaps up and similarly, updating some done, many white plastic, a full inside offer and discarded. that is that really, you know, similarly yellow baxley getty, from home to gun 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 we shouldn't even diving. we supported long kind of also known as pico, drab. and did you know?
9:48 am
no, i look for you know, mark these sensibly new bonds. so exactly declining in population. it's not just a doable on monday night. feel like they just shouldn't do 2 nets and plastic plastic. the other one that's solid on this is the for this. see gloss bids where do guns grees? 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 fall and my dad has been diving for 18 years and has gather 30000 kilograms of plastic. maybe even more? no, i have been dieting only for 3 years. so i'm watching of like too much of a desk. many organizations have invited much farther denied to have along with my father and i. my father's friend saw the 1st come together, the plastic put them on the ottomans and odd, now lead the weekly plastic clean up efforts with nearby, willing to use choice,
9:49 am
keen interest in joining this mission, highlighting a growing community dedicated to environmental conservation, natalie agreed to meet on that cleanup drive 3 days, i mean, we traveled 5 to 6 kilometers into the ocean as that. so 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, money to other than has created a band. it's about plastic pollution that has brought about both of stage and enthusiasm among the public. when the tony by the end of the 3 days after these, don't we go fishing? you can observe there when we catch any fish or not, we ought to just collect significant amounts of plastic because lifting the 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
9:50 am
over to the person responsible for garbage collection, roughly 50 to 100 people, 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, contribute an estimated $1.00 to $8800000.00 tons of plastic waste of the ocean. a new book and i'm ready to go. go to your color and double check. and then finally, you may not be able to clean the entire ocean. we definitely aim to hopefully seen at least 5 kilometers. okay, mazda be hope to succeed. somebody on board and i'll go down on the go put them on, i'm going to be thrown 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, open the find, the children these to didn't go home and pressing get better and mom is the one that 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 don't and good and tangled in the plastic fish. but even
9:51 am
notice the oceans have become daddy. they informed the offense, i have been children, i'll be off this. it's a great victory. any of it successful last week, united cation hinges on collaboration between coastal conservation group, scuba divers, and the general public. but now with all that can be done just by one person, but there are many people like be world like including school that i was money in biologist, and numerous and use and the public to be must come together to avoid using plastics. what else we will continue cleaning up until the plastic tree in the region of plastic free 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 home inside and just the city of daily reduces or 11th housing sounds, a solid waste every day. and of course, recycling management. segregation is
9:52 am
a major problem. even if organic waste has stepped aside within the for segregation of the block level, sort of in shows that all of this waste ends up in the lenses. but there is an ideal apartments in the southern city of gen night, 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 throw that into a green bin. the other 30 plus families in her apartment complex do the same, but they are something of an exception. here in the capital of the indian state of the time in 99 since maria, 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,
9:53 am
food and vegetables. obviously i to the raised 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 this or an environment clean and him we had to do by the last 4 years genet. residents have actually been obliged to separate their organic waste, but hardly anyone, complaints. it's supposed to become fostered by the city in special facilities. instead, it ends up in landfill with other trash. greenhouse gases like meeting are released as the organic waste. so the residence 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 natural for the lives of 6 tons of combustible. these type being saved from land since since 2019 and the
9:54 am
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, but it also it lives under k, i use it for our own garden plans and to give it to others and asked 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 him go, the thought about this, please segregation procedure, which i thought it was just unnecessary. it's telling me yeah. and the movie laid out on that to you, but later i realize the motive behind it reading and is we're making use of this biodegradable, we have that, but i'm not really going fertilize our own god in the law. should it be a lot? you're not going any ways outside the city or to get a gift if this is possible for our 36 lavish today i. i hope that on the other
9:55 am
apartments can initiated to this. yeah. must the left platform or they might, it is 11 residents of this role 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 multi for doing i is to help the government keep the environment clean and to avoid dumping waste and landfill. do you get other mean motivation or that sound great. if i need to that 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 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 on to then take care. goodbye. left off the,
