5:30 pm
the show in the clouds. it's time to them when generations class this week on the w, 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 something 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. traditional rooms are always
5:31 pm
so colorful in detail and so beautifully, i mean, who doesn't fluff them. but that is also a downside is traditionally di and fringy, and that is wonderful news. in fact, that's exciting, this 3 of trust to what is what does 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 beautiful airprint? well, let's head to the 6 die hub off in dallas, west and state of woods off in bo. now to find out if this is possible, pretty colorful. it takes tight, it's made in india, on the flip side, dirty. if you fixed i, production contributes to definitely 20 percent of global water pollution, especially to dine. i'm finishing processes. india has been suffering from a severe voltage sizes for years now. not only due to climate change, but also as
5:32 pm
a result of the over use of water the okay, we need to understand that the conventional dying infringing is uh what that intensive ending authorities are trying to come to the product 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. sound 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 what diamond again, companies discharge their waste water and feed it into the device. as water beautification technologies make production more expensive and reduce profits. a company in good jobs, but we'll just city is doing things differently. both the homegrown enterprise of
5:33 pm
android drawers dials an autozone, re cycles owner fits base, what they're also certified, that most of the call, what they call the 0 discharge of a 0 discharge unit 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 walker, that is good enough to be cycling in my own unit. there's actually also good enough to decide in the open ground or to use 40 degrees your body treats only if it's based what the naturally go found to grab cent huh. demonstrates bodies primary treatment will fix diabetes, water, the front collision 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 will settle down to the bottom. few blocks us on the big left as a spot to, cuz the alum and limes solution hits the optical splunk together. the bigger the
5:34 pm
plus, the, the easier it is to remove them. you can see the slug 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 can up on patients on not on demand to the guy the out a vitals ventilation process and can even remove heavy metals plan offline for phase luckily, i think that most of the came up a lot of the ones that costs the back b as the water process to this organically it, it takes assigned a bit and then up a little bit and gets these done. so any suspended part because they've been left in the water, that's in the recycling base. water is one way to reduce water 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
5:35 pm
conventional reactive printing with the most sustainable alternative printing with pigment. to instead of transferring dies directly onto fabrics, pigment face, i printed onto 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 learning thing. now this going to be elected with the respect to the feet of the fabric at the end of the production cycle. it going to be with respect to the washing of resistance. and it could be also with respect to the rubbing of this dive exist technique reportedly help save
5:36 pm
save 75 percent of the what the typically used in reactive printing ad it and no g consumption has decreased by 55 percent at the body recycling an average of 1000 liters of both the each d has had good keep its commitment using about one towards this one to the 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 the what to pollution, those small and it's, it's me up. we are very small, but it is a practical solution which of course, but the commitment on a proper monitoring and assessment of it can be made into a model which can be there few cases and bodies hall best thing of lean water for production may ultimately be boxed implicating the salt
5:37 pm
water contains fuel. many of those done, john bought up, resulting in more consistent colors that don't wash out so easily. it falls to think about the most danger to stifle waste and the what i've such and the things of nuclear, at least there are about $415.00 nuclear power plants across the world and $23.00 here in india and sideline and government has said that they plan on increasing the power generation capacity of these power plants, they also came that these follow for loans are clean and environment friendly, which is also crucial for india to meet its global net 0 targets box. the small appliance oil storage in today to read us the waste, which will not managed properly can prove to be needed, which has also been reported in 7 years, reports that you see. but finland has found a solution for this media with. i'm in the solution that might be several learnings
5:38 pm
for the rest of the ones. so we've arrived at minus 437 meters 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 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, leaching talk sense into the environment. and nobody really knows exec, see 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 heard that the since we're building a nuclear waste deposit side, i thought it was going to be in the middle of nowhere like in the arctic circle. so no, it's actually just a 3 hour call right away from housing in
5:39 pm
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 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 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. whether your pro anti nuclear energy, this problem needs
5:40 pm
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 probably owned by the finish date. we're ready to go. the trip down take almost a quarter of an hour the so we've arrived at minus $437.00 me cuz on the ground. definitely feels like a cave all around us is crystalline, bedrock and mixture of granite and the rock cold making
5:41 pm
a tight. and that's the 1st key to why this place was chosen to store the nuclear waste vh up the wrong guess. almost 2000000000 years. it's a rather on fractured rather dry. you know, we don't have a lot of fond 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 to a 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 way, so 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,
5:42 pm
so insulating material. this can stay radioactive for a couple of 100. yes. they are d 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 emit heat and remain radioactive up to a 1000000 years. 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 $26.00. i full towers. and some of it is leaking radioactive material. the best solution for handling and safely is burying 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
5:43 pm
radioactivity from the rods from leaking in the meantime, it needs to be in case properly or in finland. the spent fuel rods are sealed into 5 sent to meet the sick and around 5 meet the high corporate canisters. they have been transported on the ground with 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 groundwater that might sleep in and corrode to the corporate kind of stuff. ready and finally, the tunnel is back filled with the same material and sealed with a 6 me to fix concrete slab. as you can see here in this demonstration tunnel, those capsules or canisters are the most controversial part of the whole nuclear
5:44 pm
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 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 stance of the finished nuclear safety authority and position 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 defend lindsey, 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,
5:45 pm
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 bad press 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. it's 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, then they become very dangerous for the planet. so to find one such a nuisance. today we're waiting to meet not assigned this, not any such a much
5:46 pm
a young guy who is doing something about this plastic waste. that'd be all generate . so casually off the coast of gen, 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. i am 9 years old. i'm studying in the 4th grade. i clean up grade that i'm in the ocean on the shore, my products to fit, as well as the money lice. and then i have collected 1000 kilograms. dustin and gave you the last, you know, been 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 realize that i needed to says become plastics. the oceans,
5:47 pm
the environment and the must be protected. that's when the torque popped is i looked on. the beach is popular among students 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 full inside off and discarded. that is that draw the similarly yellow baxley getty, from homes are done with plastic colored items, despite efforts 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 went ahead and do not me shoot him, we've been diving, we supported long kind of also known as cycle trap. and did you know? no, i look for, you know, mark these sensibly new bonds. so exactly declining in population. it's not just
5:48 pm
a doable on monday life is like that. it shouldn't do 2 nets and plastic plastic. the net salad on this is the for this. see gloss bids where do guns grease unimportant habitats for many marine species. these abs provide reading on feeding grounds for various fish invertebrates by maintaining c drop 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 gathered 30000 kilograms of plastic. now maybe even more, no, i have been diving only for 3 years, so i'm watching of like much native. many organizations have invited much farther denied to have along with my father and i, my father's friends lawyer 1st come together in the past to put them on ottomans and on the lead, the weekly plastic cleanup efforts with nearby, willing to use choice, keen interest in joining this mission highlighting
5:49 pm
a growing community dedicated to environmental conservation. natalie agreed to meet on the cleanup drive 3 days. i mean, we traveled 5 to 6 kilometers 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 proper lead to the cooperation visa dispos money to the ottoman has created a band this about gnostic pollution that has brought about positive change and into z as in among the public. when the tony by the 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, be collecting the plastic, the filling in data port. we take the plastic card in the mit is due to attack. i saw it on the short and handed over to the person responsible for garbage connection, roughly $5200.00 people, including over the community. have you stop at 20 plus speaking to the ocean?
5:50 pm
god, no, and the blasting understanding of what i am not going to. every year goes to communities, contribute an estimated $1.00 to $8800000.00 tons of plastic waste through the ocean. a new bought kind of way to go to the color orange over to get live via you may not be able to clean the entire ocean. we definitely aim to hopefully seen at least 5 kilometers on the mazda, the hope to succeed. somebody on board. and i'll good for them, i'll go ahead and go put them on i'm. i've got a little bit of a drawing and that i get all 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 for the children. these 2 didn't go home and pressing get better and mom is the water, gets polluted on, the fish gets sick. so let me eat that fish once he get infected. as they explained to me and i've been via a witness 1st time, but the fish has become though i'm good and tangled in the plastic piece. but even notice that the oceans have become daddy informed, the offense,
5:51 pm
i have been children, i'll be off this. it's the greatest victory. plenty of it. 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 is the will continue cleaning up until the plastic tree in the region of plastics. we've really starts with awareness about how damaging last 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 just the city of delhi, produces or 11th housing sounds, a solid waste every day. and the cost of recycling management. segregation is a major problem even if organic waste has stepped aside within the rooms for
5:52 pm
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 bins. 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 landfill. there are a lot of landfills and the waves does not degree popular sort poses a threat for the next generation, i mean, and then the 1st billing and he has to do whatever i can when shopping, food and vegetables. i to the raised into the bucket for combustible tash bundle.
5:53 pm
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 majors to keep the thought and environment clean and handled. um we had to do by the last 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 residence of this apartment complex decided not just a separate deal organic waste, but to con, 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 daily from both blocks united inside it's around 10 to 12 kilograms
5:54 pm
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 lives under k. i use it for our own garden plants and to give it to others. ok 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 it. so yeah, but later i realize the motive behind it reading and is we're making use of this biodegradable weeks of that. but i'm not 40 and fertilize our own god in the law. should it be a lot, you'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
5:55 pm
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 in line. so these are the main 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 seamlessly 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
5:56 pm
5:57 pm
german opportunities. what if, what if i that i i love them so much. i don't bundle my grandson. leaving home can be contemptuous, but for different reasons. any child would then go to another country, she hop on. why would that be good? if i'm afraid that she would be murdered or kidnapped us in the wind generations flash in 30 minutes, the most painful things to watch today is day. 84 of a runaway natural gas leak above los angeles, that it may take more than
