India obviates up to the call of prayer and the sights and sounds of offerings to countless gods each morning. Temples and holy places brimmed with bringing fresh fruits and flowers but after they are blessed the offerings often end up on the roads or rivers outside theyre largely biodegradable but the sheer amount is a problem if theyre not cleared the end up clogging rivers and drains around the country and the pesticides used to grow the flowers can poison the ecosystem of. The of. The north my work is a resident of mumbai who cannot hear or speak every week he works to collect around 150 kilos of flowers offered at the famous of the even i pull in mumbai. The temple is dedicated to lord ganesha and gets more than 40000 daily visits offerings speak on 2. A holy day 200 kilos of flowers are brought to the temple. Modish where separates the coconut host and other offerings from the flowers and moves the vase to a workshop in the densely populated industrial lanes off until the east. At a workshop here he hands it all over to make power shake or one of the other 28 artisans who begin converting these valves into natural died many come from difficult backgrounds but have found comfort in the work here. I have done or jobs and worked as a mechanic. I under are leaving these jobs in just a few months and did not have a good grew up addition in my neighborhood i was. And became very depressed my friend used to work here and thats how i got a job you do. His part of the dying team that is able to make use of every type of flour they get fresh dry or decomposing. She prepares the fabric by heating it in a mixture of water and a bit of alum that ensures that the pigment from the flowers and helps to the fabric. Then as the fabric is laid on to the floor bettles all sprinkled over it it is then steamed and folded watched and dr. Mary goes hibiscus under. All combined to produce colors that are reminiscent of the sights sounds and fragrance of temples in the city. The designer behind the venture is my best rubato reading she grew up in on the coast of the arabian sea and saw firsthand how religious offerings were clogging the citys water bodies and littering its beaches. And one of the days a scene of those of the mechanician 1st of all at that time in the vanish that was getting begin to research and created the entire you know the whole belt of the seafront in front of my house well strewn with bloody gold and oil based in 20083 really began approaching temples to attack the problem at its source ever enter sitting in mecca and in 10 minutes they said yes they sleep all the flowers and what do you give in return i said when were beginning to turn because i dont have anything finances that of a woman and problems in life this is nothing you just recycle the earth and you give us you give it to composting. Ruled by uses what was based on the temples pressed into the fabric at a workshop better team of dealers create scarves dresses and other garments at the moment the team produces up to 50 hues and 4000 meters of hand dyed natural fabric every month they have also begun utilizing other natural based products like onions the uncommon or. The idea of recycling the idea of the scene of beauty in how in what way can we impact the sustainability of our world that was the a. B. M. And the idea that come from the environmental pollution that was happening in the sea. So the impact is very small we even if it is for the for the pollution that were creating in something 15. While the fashion industry has a long way to go before it reaches true sustainability you know we do have Natural Products and berries are small steps towards it. The production of textiles is not always equal friendly dies from flowers gone to be used for everything for example the Leather Industry the tanning of animals uses many chemical compounds like chromium sulfate which have a detrimental effect on the environment its a threat to groundwater and in humans it causes serious and respite tree. Theres no escaping the stench that hangs over this village in a dry poor in india fresh animal hides are preserved the traditional way with lots of chemicals the town has then scraped off whats left of the muscle fat and has. Then comes the actual tanning substances like slaked lineman salts turn the animal skin into finished within a few hours chromium is the most commonly used chemical. Its dangerous work some of the substances can cause blindness if they come into contact with the eyes. Others can cause rushes asthma even cancer. Thats a big problem because the Leather Industry is a significant part of the Indian Economy there are about 2000 tonne a reason the country employing more than 2500000 people that makes india one of the most important letter producers in the world. The Environmental Impact is a magnets to process a 1000 kilograms of rawhides 500 kilogram. Of chemicals on the internet and up to 50 cubic meters of voice for turkey in the light if that gets into the groundwater untreated it can contaminate Drinking Water toxins can also spread to farmers fields. The Indian Government has recognized the problem and has taken initial steps to improve the situation in recent years its forced some of the most polluting tanneries to close. Not generally as one of the hotspots of the indian Leather Industry the regulations for tanneries a hike but not all requirements are always met a German Company has come up with an eco friendly solution a natural talent agent made from all of these that used to be true one of the earlier theyre convinced that big businesses can make a beer and design a lead with hugo boss will help their cause. In the olive groves of the mediterranean a quiet Industrial Revolution is under way more than 3000000. 00 tons of olives are harvested here every year and whats left is an enormous quantity of leaves. Problem being burnt some of these leaves are now being sold to a German Company that cleans shreds and boil some down with water to create a viscous syrup and olive based tanning agent for leather that is even edible. For a few bucks right on all of lanes or in such plentiful supply we could currently use them in 40 percent of global leather production smaller than 700000000 square meters that would be 100 percent of automobile leather 100 percent of our posted furniture and 100 percent of clothing we could switch over completely to all of tanning and even if there werent enough leaves we could always use the olive thomas or the black water like the waste water from all of the oil mills didnt start to cry for. Olive leather as its known where green is produced just like traditional level. Using whats known as a plug in system every tannery in the world could switch over to all of tanning immediately. It would spell the end of toxic by products like contaminated leather shavings. I mean we can manufacture any type of leather and terms of the Raw Materials we have everything cheap goat coward. Anything we eat we can also tan. Was real pretty awful. Chennai on the western coast of india is one of the countrys tannery hotspots the Leather Industry is believed to be contaminating the groundwater recently the government imposed stricter regulations on the sector the Company Gemini has gone further. Its adopted the german olive based tanning agent and now only produces all of leather. More and more fashion labels demand products that contain known chemical residues. Have defeated all immersed in a lot of research and development in sheer doofus. They won by our customer and also by ourself for making fast trainable another product as you need your technology it requires a lot of investment and cost out but it certainly does because here they are on 10 to 30 percent but we have believe they did we believe it does in the long run. In india gemini is a pioneer in this field producing leather clothing for big brands like hugo boss the plant based tanning agent is not only environmentally friendly it also doesnt harm the workers. Have been working here for 15 years things have changed considerably since the tannery went green the safety the Environmental Impact and the working conditions have changed a lot. Today india is one of the biggest textile manufacturers in the world and theres still enormous potential for growth measures to improve Environmental Impact and Occupational Safety a slowly coming to false. Eco friendly leather turning could be a huge leap forward for the industry. In germany more and more customers are choosing environmentally friendly products olive tanned leather is available in all conceivable colors but it is a little more expensive went green is confident that enough people are prepared to pay that price and that the clothing industry will respond it was initially i want the Leather Industry to be more open especially the fashion labels and to not just talk about sustainability or just put solar panels on their roofs they need to actively take steps toward sustainable level because it will help everyone you know well as i move. More and more tanneries in mexico brazil and india and ill switch into all of leather. I leap forward like this even change the lives of the. People who are working in the outstanding industry for the better many a time its the workers one of the forefront to bear the impact of ecological damage and organization in delhi is trying to solve problems by employing the citys waste because.

We had about 40 people who work and at some level of expertise. It was a significant step forward for the communities that who had been conditioned to resigned to their fate of being lifelong waste brick. Homes any hope i got some good in them as there was the women give this work is beyond us it is beyond us so my focus then changed to meeting so it was now about instilling confidence and recently in islam.

In the good ones there were a lot of traction a lot of mornings where the women were then come somewhat when there were no. Those for us then we were not able to pay the women and thats the time when the 1st challenge that we fear is that no when we wanted to be in the women they obviously had to feed themselves so they dropped out so they went back and when speaking.

It might not look like much but seaweed is bringing a new lease of life to a small island in Northern Ireland. Both the human and marine residents of ruslan island are strongly dependent on the album flow of the ocean. Kelp seaweed was harvested for medicinal purposes until about 50 years ago. With her company islander kelp kate burns is bringing seaweed back this time for food. She cuts the nutrient rich algae into noodles to sell to restaurants. Of course it was harvested wild what im doing is different from farming it which is more sustainable also means that we can choose which help we want to grow it means we can stagger the growing season so its kind of altogether a smarter way to do it. Seaweed meats no fertiliser and the socalled kelp forests provide habitats for fish and so more food from a move like seals and birds. Its in the nursery where the process really starts kate and her team have found just a Sustainable Way to artificially begin growing the kelp sara barry prepares the reproductive areas of the kelp blades. They release spores which sarah then pools around spools where they can settle and begin to grow. She doesnt use chemicals organic feed is enough. So there they are in their own environment they will be looking for a long surface like a rock so.

Seaweed farming has become a way for the fishes to diversify their business. 3 years ago i learned to cal pasta 25 tonnes of kelp. Today they managed to harvest about 40 tons a year to meet the growing demand. Now its time to clean mcalpin turn it into something more appealing its sold to restaurants and wholesalers in the u. K. And elsewhere in europe were going to turn. This. Into these noodles for a long time seaweed has been a staple of asian food kate is trying to also bring it to european plates one of the Biggest Challenges for cult farming is the fact that the dollars require licensees space which is exclusive what would be great in the future would be to say kelp farms or raw and for example ocean wind farms you know why not start to combine at sea and for structure and not kind of multiuse why but you know thats thats maybe my dream.

The wheat farming is heavily reliant on the weather and work can be unpredictable but there will always be some time for kate sarah and the rest of the team to run the. Plant.
