the parents wanted me to become a civil service, but i didn't like the idea of getting such an old fashioned job and being stuff making a lot a having fun with nice little stuff. september 19th on dw, the big business and touch nature in the us concerns go over the teach as a national conk. the garbage dumps police, the environment and drive climate change, but there are alternatives and maritime threats. coupon is arming itself against and as a mode dominant. china, the

china is rapid. rise is a global pilot, is making its neighbors. novice staging is flexing its muscles politically economically, and militarily the south china sea has long been witness to maritime disputes. china is vastly expanding its fleet of warships badging squarely and confidence is making waves in the region. if disaster strikes yankee, ren wants to be ready to be strong enough to stand on the front line with a comm rates and defend a country. the 24 year old is lots of japan's best naval unit since the 2nd world war. the island nation once at some 50, is rapid deployment for gauge to be able to carry out attacks from the sea in a possible future war. that's why does a pool at the base, whether learning how to escape from a sinking shit yak,

even knows what it's like to be trapped under water. to go. the kiddos are students in my hot races. i wonder if i'll ever make it out. i mean, if i'll ship tips over at sea, we have to save ourselves by about 2 by 18. so we don't get swept away by the water will run out of that. that's why we're training for an evacuation here. so it's next day after the trainings of the outbreak of war 2, they believe it's closer than at any time in the last, almost 18. his lucky man is one of 50 women at the space. a unit is training to defend japan's $14000.00 plus islands and recapture them if necessary. we got to join him one have this light. and 6, a convict is brewing in the east china see china and japan are cleverly of islands whose names. few people outside the region have even heard of,

but if the dispute what to escalate, it would impact on lines. international trade rates would be blocked the stats it. it's the turning point for japan as a country with positivism is enshrined in the constitution. that is also reflected in the name of the ministry that japan self defense forces. but the government has made a u. 10 policy triggered by russia's invasion of ukraine. tokyo has ended japan self defense only principal, and the set to massively increase minute to spending by 2027. so yucky. ren, it's time to dive into the i know this minute treat buildup is very worrying for residential issue, gawky. more than a 1000 kilometers is the south of the event space. temper.

oh yeah. must also said to co gavers have already own version of a popular folk song. she sings the sunshine and a mild wind that will bring no more will the 6 year old struggles to climb. they steep off, but she won't be choked township coming here. i want to show them the place for people. got them into those places to me. so the war time, the pacific war and then over there, now they are preparing for the war or in the future, you know, with no reflection. the war is the past and the war of the future. nowhere else on this island she says to the to come into such shaw release. for her that comes up,

the japanese armed forces which she's been fighting against is symbolizes the war is the future. the past one is the 2nd world war which experiences the young go. that's where we will for students to look for me. okay. so where it was filled with malaria. mosquito is less than a week or so after we moved into that place, there was a long way almost lost that lives island is she got. he is a tropical power dyson to his magnet, nearly 2000 kilometers from tokyo. it's become the front line and the bottle for geo political influence. it's right by this in cuckoo islands, or don't do as china calls them. although uninhabited, these islands are strategically important. whoever controls them controls the regency rates, which is why china also lays claim to the islands that are administered by japan.

such a palm, the southern most prefecture, which includes issue khaki on to $160.00 other islands forms a wall to contain china. spots to sol jr. even while we fly back to the account by helicopter, she has to find a way to show how binary excel located in. so i see the notes of nagasaki on the east china sea. it's hard to miss the minute she presence here in addition to the japanese armed forces. there's also a us submit it to base of japan's nuclear. and ally has decided to set up a new joint force headquarters in japan. you, i'm, is that you said to go in is she got, he sees it as an unnecessary publication. she's been protesting at

a wrote junction on her. i'm in the 8 it's, she's here every sunday. until the day, i to all the military leave out of the island. so we're what we're going to find. she says the island mustn't be tuned between 2 superpowers. again. they owe it to the next generation. soldier yagi man is part of that generation. she's the 1st in her family to join the ministry up thing to turn her love of exercise into a korea. it was only doing training that she realized the possible consequences of choice sizes and you give a call to close the you up to the front line, the more dangerous it becomes. and then the, if i would like to become someone who helps my comm rates at the front, i'd be lying. if i said i wasn't afraid. but that's exactly why we're doing all these drilling. now, if last out, i'll be back to that if i don't. if you want peace prepared for war is the old saying goes, jackie ran and her come rates already to find,

but hope it won't come to that. the in april 2024, a huge fire broke out due to non so citing does the poor india, combustible gas is ignited in the amount of trash that dissolves to that could happen elsewhere. to foot scraps, plastic bottles, pizza boxes. think about how many things you throw away each day, depending on how in where you leave. this might different a lot. different indian thought is all 500 trends of garbage every day. for the average american troops to point to keels. by the way, the u. s. as the world champion in waste generation per capita, this bio growth along with cds and the rising standard of living. this was part of the problem and does a pool in 1984 when the landfill 1st opened,

dallas population was not even 7000000. now it is about $34.00 meeting. the thirty's weren't ready for that. and on the planet right now, we're 8 beaten people, producing 2100000000 tons of rubbish every year. according to this year, when study 38 percent ends up where it shouldn't some 2700000000 people like access to basic waste management services. so no protection multiplan non disposal due to ramona's, the technical director at the international solid waste association. she's one of the supervisors of this study. so for the lack of those options, what do people end up doing? they take the reast beast, dr. blown on page one, because when and dump that we spent. and so this is leading to a practice. there's no precise number for how many such them sites they are on the planets. but each one is one to many. and it is important to distinguish here between dump sites and landfills. they have

a different things on site is with is absolutely no environmental control. when it drains the water filters through the waist and fronts leach, it potentially toxic cook tele for many heavy chemicals and back to read. among other things that so called of the trash saw leaking into the environment, either to your water ways, your soil is or your air. and by open blending. and so all of these are emissions that are ending up in the environment that are arming. sure. one hand, it's harming the environment. and when i talk about your with health, essentially, if you have contaminated waste, it's going into a fluid systems. under this mountain of thresh, where days, no oxygen, something else is happening. make a t a breaking down organic waste and producing meeting one of the worst greenhouse gases in the short term is over 80 times more quote into taking the planet than carbon dioxide. the waste sector accounts for 3 to 5 percent of all greenhouse

gas emissions. dump sites and landfills and the biggest contributors in their defended terry landfills, which have more environmental controls that try to mitigate all those problems. they start to, to evolve. and the 20th century, especially in the 2nd half. also because the materials use in our products had become much more toxic to the natural environment. currently the united states has more than 2600 landfills. that's a lot of trash. americans have historically relied on landfills for many reasons. just to name a few, consumption levels are really high. the country has wide open spaces available, and using lens it was quite often seen as the cheapest option in the short term. that is why half of the trash produced by americans ends up there. so it's no wonder that the holes, the planets biggest landfill of its kind, according to the gain is world records effects landfill. outside of las vegas, it's big enough to accept waste for the next 250 years. landfill operators use

several ways to tackle the problems of dumping trash, to protect the ground from toxic chemicals. they stopped with a large hole in the ground line with giants in front of the layers of synthetic materials. kind of like a huge, empty swimming pool with a big plastic sheets in it. at the bottom, there's a drainage system to remove the lead shape that generated sensors can also be placed at the bottom layer to detect any possible leaks after delete to district that it is turned into a usable water are nowadays and engineered land. so can also capture most of the meeting and meet it by making a kind of trash livonia. that stops most of it from going to the atmosphere. as the garbage is dumped, heavy tractors compact it and then cover it with an impermeable layer. dump compact cover. repeat over and over again. then i kind of system of pumps. 6 out most of the gas is generated, including the mid thing. at this point, there are 2 options. the main thing capture can be burned to

a process called flaring that turns it from a super harmful greenhouse gas into a regular home for one. so you too. but this is a huge waste. your comes to the 2nd option. me think can generate heat electricity or renewable natural gas compar vehicle, for example, many us landfills use this technologist and we've been here, they meet it at altogether. they produce enough equivalent to energy to power 1000000 homes. this technique, problems to reduce methane emissions by 60 to 90 percent. so problem solved not quite using special needs for red cameras on planes and satellites. researches have detected substantial leaks, currents measuring methods which usually rely on ground of cetaceans couldn't detect them. the research has found that us landfills, i mean $1.00 times more meetings in official report, it's but it's not all bad news. this data can help linfield managers to detect leaks and reduce emissions straight away. however, not all solutions in this field need to be so high tech that businesses

recommendation to reduce methane emissions from landfill is much simpler and more straightforward. reduce the amount of organic waste in them because the methane emissions from landfills are produced when organic matter decomposes underneath a pile of garbage without oxygen. if we are thought the, literally i'm going to destination that with these dark waves. it is that the thoughts probably be situation will talk out. i. this is shara collie, a scientists we specialize in waste management in india, leading a waldman wire. main i was in went is very good, flooded the condition of the monday, the so you feel deleted scientifically. stuff gentlemen. uh, i think we get back to the stop the meeting, the admission city in countries like india where around 50 percent of the garbage is wet waist. avoid me. it's in the landfills, can be really effective. and some places are being quite successful in implementing this policy. take my sewer, for example, with

a population of more than one median. it produces between 40500 tons of waste daily . the 3rd is designed to the centralized system in which trash gets collected, segregated, and composted inside their neighborhoods. here it is important to remember that composting is primary anaerobic process with oxygen, where micro organisms breakdown organic matter. it can relate small amounts of meetings if it's not properly done, if there isn't enough, the ration that is white. quite often you'll see people turning the compost regularly. in my 2 robots, 50 percent of all waste is combusted for that the collector goes from door to door . residents, them properly separate the trash do be find. officials say only 5 percent of the trash goes to landfill, their goal is 0 waste. middle risk management is like no risk shouldn't go for the plant or the line for you put in simulation plan. so we had complete, do you mind anything the re still retired receiving from our different blocks of my

city corporation. the compost produced is sold to local farmers and the horticulture department. when you look around india, this may feel like a drop in the ocean, but it is a great example that shows it can be done. combusting also sorts out another huge problem, almost one 3rd of the countries farmland surface from sleep deprivation barkley, due to the heavy use of chemical fertilizers. now we're getting composts is being used on farms to restore the land. this is a great example of climbing up the letter of the waste higher key at the very bottom of it. this is the worst possible way to get rid of the trash opened burning or dumping. that is where the width weighs we just saw would probably end up then comes disposal without an edge of recovery, like kinds of land feeding or incineration. next is waste energy, which is an umbrella term for a few different methods like the west landfills we saw generate electricity out of me. thing here comes with cyclic. this is where the composting examples are. even

better is to reuse, things often refer to as up cycling. and at the top of it is prevention and reduction. the bart depends a lot on the way and can absorb up to 4 times more carbon to another forest. and now we use waste goes to a modern landfill outside of the city. the site captures most of its methane emissions, according to the operator generates and off manage it to power seats of $90000.00 residents. it is a modern engineered landfill which costs at around $19000000.00 us dollars. but that doesn't mean that the problem is solved in nearby grandma should there still illegal dump sites? and even in the restoration project itself, there were problems with leaking lea checked in 2014, which now seems to have been assaulted. this approach isn't cheap and it's not perfect, but it does have a lot of potential look at this graphic. it shows regions that's to have a huge number of open dump sites. in this case, some experts suggest it's moving from dump sites to lentils would already be

a step forward on the top of that, separating at least organic, trashed before sending it to the landfill. like in missouri is something we can do when a global level of test reducing waste is the top priority to can also be reached worldwide is placed at the top of the pyramids. but let's face it right now. we're producing more and more trash world wide. the power of smart waste management, instead it can reduce costs in the long run. the higher up in the waist pyramids, you go, the more money you can make from the trash. so just by making energy or re sending trashes compost into more ways to collect in a controlled way, the less com it does to things harmons and the less money is needed to clean up this mess the . it's the largest black quarter swamp in north america. michael,

alaska is showing this around. he's the manager of this national wildlife refuge in southern georgia. it's a huge was a covering, 877000 heck does the size of new york city dog piles as the keep rising to the surface and the shallow water? a welcome sight for michael less so this is the pete that i was talking about. this is just uh, uh, vegetation that hasn't completely decayed. it's very viable for the environment. the carbon stored in the soil is equivalent to over $95000000.00 tons of carbon dioxide gas that is found and therefore no driving climate change. the native americans called this area okie pinokie. so this is where the name ok from. okay, the end of the trembling earth comes from because you can see when i bounce on it,

that it trembles like that. so i'm actually standing on a floating point that right now above the water. that's how it gets. it's cool, $0.96. if pittmans have been protected for almost a 100 years, can vision this communities are believe to have lived here for millennia, even some of the swamps. most gabby residents seem oh, nice peaceful. the ancestors were here before the dinosaurs. the okey dokey is unique because not only its size but how protected it is. so it's, it's huge, right at over $407000.00 acres and the fact that it's not develop that the hydrology nature, the animals are still intact. and so what we see is a huge wetland that's fully functional and you just don't see that uh in parts of north america in europe anymore that, that are so heavily developed but changes as it a tree covered sunday and stretches for miles along the edge of the swamp

presenting water from draining away a company wants to mine minerals in the sand. heavy equipment is already parked in readiness. the company is not willing to talk to us. they appear close to gaining approval for a permit. the state governor is in favor and so is the environmental authority because a company report shows no threat to the swamp selling cause it is horrified. she lives on this on june and is worried about the refuge. that's a little scary to me. i don't, i don't understand why the governor or anybody else would even question in my eyes . it should not be a question of what's mine beside the ball by for a huge address. there's too much to lose there. yeah. for multiple reasons. i mean, if you've ever been in the phone, you would understand why it's very peaceful. so serene is just, you know, not it on the edge of the swamp and possibly drain and the refuge or the swamp

would lead to a lot of things. i mean, for me, it's a lot, it's a lot more than just one thing. the nearby town if fixed and georgia is divided, the places seemed by 2 days, some hope for more jobs than income from the mine. others want to protect the swamp and attract more to risk having the site declared to unesco, well have a good site could help. but this plan is facing a surprising amount of resistance, despite arguments that it will increase tourism. i don't think this goes going to increase it a bit. the biggest fear i have of unesco is in its other locations that it has been associated with. they've been, have started trying to perpetuate rules against the private property owners outside of the boundary the site. they can't do this at no, cuz it might affect the national park that like taking and we don't want that of the people that live in this community. what their private property rights,

and i think that's per, that's true all over america. true jones is also in favor of the mind. he works for the local authority and is hoping for more income from taxes just outside the town . he shows us how fine things have become the local hospital closed a few years ago because the town could no longer afford the subsidies or medical needs they are, you know, infrastructure need see how tied our budget is. see that every child in our school system gets free lunch. the mind is not gonna fix all her problems, but this won't fit in either a school. take a multitude of things, i want more tourism as well. i love this mind if they say it's safe. okie pinokie is a refuge for native species to grow and thrive here. a protective space for splunk spaces and they to love is with just a few, not a couple world ways. nothing is allowed except canoeing and fishing. but the

economic interests could endanger this pilot ice. our concern is that if something like the mine is it goes and goes forward that it could affect the water levels of the swamp. so we have been told by hydrologist that it could lower the amount of water in the swamp, it could mean more droughts and more frequent grounds. and so that would change the vegetation, it would change the animals that lived there. and our greatest concern is that would affect the number of wildfires we have. it comes down to nature versus the needs of the town, political and business interest. it state approval goes ahead. the only hope is that the federal government might be able to intervene to safeguard this natural power. nice. would you like more insights and solutions from around the world? if you want to meet the people fighting climate change visit test on facebook,
