But Research Suggests of the making of the people back for example results of 50 times more water pollutants than a plastic bag a more biased company is experimenting with a sustainable alternative for the wrong materials used in other beauty products. That move grows wild in india and its large plantations also make it the worlds 2nd largest producer. Yet it accounts for only 4 percent of global bamboo trade. And a national ban the mission has been set up to promote growth in the sector. One aim is to contribute to a more eco friendly economy and another is to promote Economic Growth and hunt farmers incomes. In urban india some startups are attempting to bring back into the mainstream as a raw material for a range of household products. The 3 founders who dont be equal in mumbai spend a year and a half 1st doing research and developing this. It began when they were appalled by the amount of plastic trash in the city one of the sundays when i was a father to my brother. Which looked quite fresh and. I looked into it and if according to you going to ask my father what have you seen this before and he said its actually over chocolate which was discontinued in the 1990 s. So the fact that the sets away for so long. Plastic and people are still the main materials used in indias Packaging Industry despite the known negative impacts on the environment. Plastic pollution is a massive problem as one can see on streets and beaches across the country. Less than a quarter of solid waste generated in india is formally collected and processed. The big industry also contributes to large scale deforestation. Its estimated that as much as a thought of indias land is degraded. The soil urgently needs plants that will help restore it and this is where bamboo could play an important role. As 100 percent green product. Manufacturing is completely green that is north of. Substance that is used the environment. Close to 9000000 people in india depend on bamboo for some part of their livelihood. Like these women who use bamboo poles to build their oyster farm. If bamboo that is grown domestically is sold and used within the country and its Carbon Footprint could be kept considerably. In 2018 the government provided 2000000. 00 to the bamboo industry to help it grow. The farm a store in mumbai itself and fairly sourced product as awareness of the issues grow so does demand definitely the. Use of Green Products yes the problem is a little bit about before. I think people need to understand that it is better and better for. The health of the planet. Sales id be cool had risen by 20 percent in recent months. Its founders hope that more initiatives like this will find support and acceptance. Where we feel that it always has to be a cooperative environment specially no country like india where we feel that companies as well as individuals as well as the government have to go to bring about change. Source locally and ethically bamboo could carve a much bigger nice for itself in a Carbon Neutral future. A modern society is geared for more and more consumption and Consumption Patterns are the result of decades of conditioning that sustainability really stand a chance well thats when it comes to this concept of behavioral economics describes subtle incentives that lead consumers to make sort of decisions lets take a look at some examples of this life. Got a former you know you walk through here and then you have to turn towards this it will be better if you could walk straight to it. Than it should be at an angle. Is advise the manager of this supermarket in for land on ways to draw shoppers attention to regional organic products. Because theres some initial what this is a bit better so you come along here and see it immediately and now if we just had something like. Something from brandenburg from the countryside perhaps a piece of wood. To quote. The manager is not yet convinced material still wants to try out various things. Regional organic products also tend to be more eco friendly europeans buy lots of imported goods bananas coffee chocolate with a much larger c o 2 footprint. Many people know that regional products are more sustainable but that doesnt necessarily lead to a change in the way they shop creams and wants to suddenly encourage consumers to think twice the approach she deploys is known as nudging. If a sickly its about positioning products in a way that people will be more likely to pick them up so. Who studied social sciences wrote the 1st academic paper in germany on netting could it be considered manipulation. Thats a charge that one often hears but the difference between nudging and manipulation is that nudging is used for positive purposes because if you would seem to. Take Meat Consumption for example an ecological terms its much too high what kind of notes might make a difference here placing vegetarian sausages right next to meeting ones. Need is people who are already environmentally conscious go looking for products that our organic and regional and theyll buy them anyway nudging is meant to reach those who dont Pay Attention to those kinds of things. Now shoppers here will come face to face with vegetarian alternatives to meet this is an easy nudge its evidently hard to redirect attention to an entire display is looking for some good props i think were not going to have those id like it to be larger more eye catching so you get the message at once organic and regional. They explore the store room but dont find anything particularly appealing to use as decoration. Talk about what else could we do. These are heads out doors to scavenge branches well see. Certainly evoke nature even in a supermarket he says there are many ways to nourish people to act in a more eco friendly way. So much fear for example if you could see how much water you use when you take a shower and how many daily rations of water that amounts to for people affected by drought it would be pretty shocking but i know thats an extreme example but the idea is to grab your attention and make you think about doing things differently. Chris arm has come up with another way to note shoppers at the supermarket to consider eco friendly products. For 4 hours of birdsong. This doesnt have an immediate effect the customers just walk by. Cranes are knows all too well that a good no is not something you can pull out of thin air. In many parts of the word the pandemic has made the supply of water more difficult this is the spotlight moment for the local Food Networks a part of your hopes biggest urban farm opened in badness will simply it may not completely replace traditional at the culture but it could prove to be an important step for what Sustainable Living in metropolis. This rooftop in the south of paris will harm by europes biggest urban farm the aim is to bring about a new era of increased Sustainable Agriculture and the covert 1000. 00 crisis has even more made the case for such a model. Kavanaugh. Also. Our project incarnates what we in france call the world of tomorrow it stands for urban resilience new kind of city with more solidarity and proximity and local Food Networks of high quality. You know. The plants are attached to vertical pillars or held in horizontal container as a 3rd of the farm is opening now with the whole project launching in 2022 half of the 400000 euros for the project were raised in a crowdfunding campaign. For me we are using so called hydroponics and our opponents methods they are based on a closed circuit where water and nutrients are being channeled to the plants and that allows us to use 90 percent less water than in traditional agriculture but this expert says that even during its biggest urban farm has its limits likely creature urban farms were never be able to field of all city we always also traditional agriculture and local and yet the developer say the urban farm has another function apart from just producing fruits and vegetables such as strawberries and salad for sale parisians can rent 135. 00 little vegetable patches for 320. 00 euros a year and ill be dining on. That. Many people in big cities dont have access to vegetable patches here at night to ben they can reconnect with the earth and literally go back to their lives. For now the developers are only farming on french troops but success here could take the model beyond france. Flower was being followed in freshness and while lives in the us temples flour was offered to the gods on the bills but when the deacon theyre often discarded by the temple authorities as we assist and end up in rivers do you think that because of the best decides the cadi account will based company a lets these discarded flowers and incense sticks. I got back cheese or incense sticks have always been an intrinsic part of religious functions in india. Yes welling smoke rings emblematic of hopes prayers and deference. But these activities made right here on the banks of the river ganges are perhaps most special. They recycled from the waste of flowers offered at temples every morning as they burn to the ground they take a substantial portion of potential river pollutants with them. Right this very place and user goes generally when 15 of us are going on theres a chick friend who had come to visit me in concord and we started talking wise the war w. Would be. Spoke about. Issues because of the company we spoke of or the issues of the band that we spoke about deceiving and so on and then we saw a lot of people coming in and throwing the religious waste in and then there was a small boy from one nearby village came and dumped all the flowers that was the point i realized. No one has ever done anything. In a pitch that led both. And karen cantore residents who grew up in this town along the ganges to develop an idea that is today a successful and Sustainable Business model. Help us green works towards upcycling temple waste going by conservative estimates about 8000000. 00 tons of flowers a dumped into the river every year. Flowers are thought to be completely biodegradable but the sheer volume combined with pesticides and insecticides leads to toxic water. One of the primary causes of hepatitis cholera and diarrhea. Which. Africa graphic of the floods from the temperatures in the ground force of the people got grubs which have a different route. Is less. From the ones that work in their weed and then theyre distributed to different women now then they have. The fed the blackboard and then these women. And the 1st child sticks in india. Chemicals like also a can lead a removed during the process. Weve been able to fly more than 7000 pounds of waste and bad news that weve been able. From getting in to go to work this. Through. Help us green currently employs about 79 workers predominantly women from marginalized communities many of whom used to work as scavengers. Who am i going with them but now im working here everyone appreciates my work and effort earlier because of the work i was doing no one respected me no one ever wanted to drop in at my home but now everyone comes over whether im home or not i always have guests over. Care and your study and kit after a while and now determine to extend the flower cycle entrepreneurship model to other industries facilitating the employment of 5000 people by the year 2022. My hope and dream is that i have started this facility at every corner of the city and the country so that nothing goes waste and we provide more and more than burma do you make a circle. Around them its a big part of. Avoiding plastic in everyday life is not easy the plastic food a kitchen essentially its hygenic and keeps food fish but of course this used plastic ends up in the garbage bin and can only be recycled with great difficulty if at all a job and start up has now developed a more stable feel and innovative idea thats waiting to be implemented on the larger scheme. Packaging that decomposes after its used. That disappears without causing any damage to the environment. Researchers and designers around the world are trying to realize this vision. Among them a product designers katia and spend save as. The trigger for that work is the amount of trash that they themselves produce. When. The couple have long been aware of the issue. But despite their best efforts theyre aware that avoiding packaging altogether is still extremely tricky. For 115 yeah about 15 years ago we were standing in our pantry wondering why a 3 person household generates a bag full of Plastic Waste each week 6. Divisions and that even though were very careful this is from everyday food items cooked meats cheese coffee and tea it all has to be packaged apart theres a for started producing composite of all film impacts made from cellulose from what twice which decomposed when they come into contact with bacteria in the soil in france italy and switzerland you can put them in the organic waste bin. Indictment of my germany this isnt possible at the moment were working to provide evidence that our film decomposes brilliantly in industrial composting facilities and together with Waste Management companies we also striving to find a solution to the problem of how these Materials Community in sorting plants so that they can be turned into compost in germany to. Another challenge is coming up with packaging that seals in a roma spend save as has been working on a multilayered composite of all coffee packets. Just like a plastic packet coated with other men yet it protects the right and keeps the coffee from going stale. Well you just do it every foodstuff comes with its own challenges not serfaty cheeses bioactive coffee is aroma sensitive so every product has its own characteristics and they have to be tested i cant make any assumptions thats the challenge but the savers have already won over many customers for their single layer cellulose foam for example vegetable supply is like sun mom where possible the organic farm packs its way as an open crates the heads of lettuce and other salad greens will to if they arent covered monica some months which 2 packs made of composite will fill in as the german Waste Disposal system doesnt cater for them some mom has come up with an interim solution. To the. Customers can definitely return these bags to us and well compost them not all of our customers have compost heaps or a composting bin but they can bring them back to us from positron it just has some of. The vegetable Delivery Firm would also like to avoid using conventional plastic for their potted halves but because the thin film used for the leafy greens would come into contact with soil and the pots it would start decomposing too quickly causing it to rip too easily. Xaviers have developed a new film for the application it takes twice as long to come past due the new film decomposes in 12. 00 to 15. 00 weeks in Industrial Facilities in natural conditions it takes longer to break down the original cellulose film so it can come into contact with soil a moisture we can package plants with it without it breaking down straight away. Avoiding packaging altogether is unrealistic in todays global Food Industry but there are more and more alternatives to conventional Petroleum Based plastic film and box. Electronic devices all around us today often extensions apart. But a lot of these products die too and end up in the garbage bin back afy in berlin wants to convince consumers to the big thing instead of dumping them. I repair cafe in the middle of berlin laura got wrongs he has brought a broken waffle iron and wants to repair it volunteer michelle fish might be able to help hes a hardware developer and skilled at repairing elec tronic devices. Is to do is one of them is the electrical resistance when you apply one volt one amp throws now you will ask whats a volt i know what have pulled his good small batteries have 1. 5 volts the more volts the more it hurts. So you know for some reason it doesnt work anymore one time i had it switched on for quite a long time about a half an hour and then all of a sudden it was broken and. The 1st repair cafe was opened in the netherlands in 2009 the idea is simple you can bring broken electrical devices even clothes and furniture and on site volunteers will help you fix them the most important thing donations are appreciated but the help is for free. Its an idea at the very least to go to gosh immediately fell in love with shes a billon based artist this is her studio where she hosted billons 1st repair cafe. Then rip it up then released back to their. More like it. That the course. Both use like with leg day listens more and more norm for the social angry the band 3 create tricks so that we wont buy it. And then pick up a something where you can do something against that. In most western societies professional repair shops are expensive thats why many people tend to throw away broken items and buy new products instead rather than get them fixed this results in a massive amount of waste some 1200000 tons of electric devices are throwing away in germany every year like at this recycling center in berlin a lot of trash could be actually fixed quite easily. And now with their. Try in something. Trying to make a base cycle of these objects longer will use them like me if you use less mature seriousness and. At least get larger gosh is convinced that repair cafes have huge potential shes even considering teaming up with the 3 d. Printing movement then the volunteers could print plastic parts needed for repairing broken devices she says half of the broken electrical devices that people bring to the repair cafes are repaired successfully 1st in oregon z. Have figured out whats wrong with the waffle iron a fuse has to be replaced nora will have to buy a new one and come back some other day and then chances are theyll be able to bring her waffle line back to life.
