On sort it in some countries in eastern and southern europe, this type of disposal is still widespread. Romania is ranked among the was worst Member States for waste recycling, a lot of garbage and recycle material is thrown together before it even arrives at the landfill. This violates the standards of the european union, which has given money to romania for proper Waste Management. This includes the construction of a modern landfill in inclusion of pocket, but a reporter discovered that millions in e u funding has failed to clean up the problem. A romanian landfill site full of unsorted waste financed with money from a european union. This was supposed to be a modern, environmentally friendly waste down to replace the older illegal landfill site near the city of pollution of polka that had been an eyesore for decades. The new landfill opened after much delay, but not much seems to have improved. On sorted garbage is still dumped here. Nothing is recycled, harmful practice, thats going legal end to you. We want to find out what went wrong here. In a residential area, we looked at the start of the waste chain. The 1st impression is there are different bins for different waste. Okay, you guys recycle your way. Sometimes sometimes this was sometimes he doesnt make sense because the same car is taking the garbage. So if it is not actually recycling, theres one called the phone to pick everything. And then it happens before our very eyes. The sign on the truck reads today we collect paper, but they also taking Everything Else from all the bins, the use this an isolated case or its, its a stomach we need shown dakota is going to work from the Waste Industry is also inactive us and keeps track of what clues just waste collectors arent doing the so whats happening now are different types of is right . Yes, yes. I think they are mixing or or theyll be yes. Unplugged romania risk cycles cost 14 percent of its municipal waste compared to the average of 49 percent of the moment blocks was yes, semis right now recycle some more expensive to collect the mixed waste. They show were not mistake or theres no incentive to collect them separately for like they fit, bought out the width, shown dakota, shirley, and 3 other environmental activist. I watched drone footage of the new waste plant. The activists are concerned that the site is filling up faster than it should with on sorted waste, which is illegal in the elizabeth thing. This is not a momentary mistake. This is a structure, as you can see from the area that these covered with non treated non sorted garbage. Most of them, what do you realize . They dont treat, dont sort just dump it there. Its, its so obvious. From 2014 to 2020 the you spent 318000000 euro, subsidizing Waste Management in romania, 40000000 inclusion alone. We want to speak with the people responsible for Waste Collection here. But neither the Waste Company nor the Romanian Ministry of european investments. Replying to our inquiry, the local Waste Management association does however, tell us in writing the bill and post penalties if there are deficiencies. The District Council here is responsible for implementing the project. We met with the Spokes Person we observed that and precious did not being recycled and not collected separate and includes. And this is one of the main boards of european Waste Management start. And thats, so am i you as the jewish county not concerned about this probably exist the boss, there may be some isolated problems start to close it. I tell you as a citizen that its definitely not a systematic problem for new cartridge. At the time. No one appears willing to acknowledge the waste problem here. So we had to brussels to ask what the u commission, which financed much of romania some Waste Disposal system is doing about this. Opened up the whole country. The commission does not manage projects. We do not follow each separate project. We have under equation policy, the previous peers, 1500000 projects on more than 1500000 projects funded by equation policy. And these are all managed by the number of states. Back in romania, no one seems to feel responsible as much to the dismay of each one. So college as long as europe is happy with b. S. And they are and they have been and they would be, would remain nearly and have no problem in producing more nice media. We couldnt find out who is to blame for callous inclusion. But maybe thats the root of the problem. In the tangle of european projects, Everyone Wants a piece of the pie. But it seems no one wants to take full responsibility for the waste or from where the money is going. Or whats your needs concerning waste is a rethink, says alicia test see, and she can back up her words with actions. Her Family Business in the fashion powerhouse of italy is committed to recycling and she is not alone there in tuscany, around the city of title many take. So companies create new from old, with proud to quickly becoming the pairs of sustainable fashion. Vis used clothing been could be in almost any european city, but no matter where its located, chances are the closing will end up in prod. So its in the the worlds text on recycling capital. Around 150 of the 7000 Text Companies here are involved. And recycling used close from germany, austria and switzerland and up at salvatore run ginos warehouse. She found that she gives me that level of detail, the visits where we separate. What comes in the media . We separate t shirts. Pants, Childrens Clothing sweaters, and jackets, according to season on a winter or summer is the same that not the resales 2 thirds of the clothing, mostly to africa. And each a tennessee who works next door takes the last 3rd or finally business has been turning us close into yarn and fabric for 4 generations challenger at hi. Hows it going to be great in the material . Yeah, its all pretty good. One, great. And then the magic begins, the end, the discarded scraps will become new yarn and wo, its a complex process that starts here in the table and the solar eclipse. A goal is to restore the young to its original color. And as soon as we separate the colors and then the machine turns the racks into a time to find the power outage. And that way we would need to be original color without the chemical guys. The chemical guys are only one of the problems of todays textile industry. Worldwide, 20 percent of Water Pollution comes from dying on finishing fabrics. Thats another reason why recycling used clothing is so important. The material then goes to and washing plans where its shredded and turns back into rule Material Company processes. The 25. 00 tons of fabric per day. The final product as these fluffy fibers. The material has been dried and now has the moisture content of the original fi button. Now its ready to be packaged, and so those funds the on the recycling process continues in a nearby factory. The fibers are turned into yarn and then fabric. Every european buys an average 26. 00 kilos of textiles per year. Most eventually ends with this landfill. For dietrie, its a terrible waste. Most of the 400 were trying to do us small pot here. Of course, if the fashion industry follow down lead, we could accomplish so much more. Its hard to believe the 21 percent of all used clothing in the world is recycled and 15 percent of that one percent is recycled . Here in pa to yes, some of the contribution here in protest textile district is important for you to his father as president of gets leased text out of recycling association. But he says recycled fabrics cant be the only solution, not for simulate a dollar g for data, but at the moment we cant satisfy the level industrial and consumer demand with 100 percent Recycled Materials event. No, that goes to my go to the gospel account. Okay. We have to do now is make it clear how important it is to move more and more in the direction of recycling. You know, mean thing, can we mean todd young dot it, they love it as soon as they, they need to go to that also means encouraging. Young designers like students from a Freshman Academy who use recycled tech styles from prato for the creations and central proud. So the roof start off is already selling recycle design refreshing around the world. Nicolo geoffrey, on his goal, is to bring together our, to his new methods, sustainable fashion and the principles of a circular economy. With them on the general consent to people that were seeing that more and more people are interested in these issues and are willing to buy less clothing. But its been more on quality that remain on the opposite of fast bashing, which is what we have until just a few years ago. That so that was all about low price of them in buying new clothes. More often new america, simply looking at spending, people who are comfortable with people like nicolo and alicia they are showing the sustainable fashion is more than just a dream for places like proud so all over the world can help make its a reality a delia from latin america came to spain with a dream sending sufficient money back home to support her children. But her dream turned into a nightmare. She now works as an in turn, not in madrid, and turn of a workers who takes care of the household and live with their employers like, or pairs. Often they are without any papers such as a residence permit, which makes them even more vulnerable. The Spanish Government has introduced stricter laws bugs despite that. People like delia continue to be abused. In 6 days a week, 16 hours a day daily is filled into self at work for us with a cellphone in this apartment and madrid, spain she takes care of the household and looks off to the children. She sleeps here too, but the 57 year old doesnt want to show us hovering. Its the only piece of privacy so, you know, when i read the, they put me in a 2 by 3 me to basement room. Okay. Hold on. I dont have a window then. Its the meaning is one of the sad to have to live like this. He said he didnt, even though you take care of it. First thing in the apartment, look around the clock, so you do your best. But still end up in a situation like the key and is she thought they called in town us because they live in the household. They usually from latin america or the philippines. They do the groceries mind the children take care of the elderly. Like here in the upscale neighborhoods of mentor, it used to give us so long. Wed like every single cook and cleaning everything around. Cool, 24 hours a day in this council. 3rd, 6th grade. And then finished, may not be at this Domestic Workers association. Carlos here on is the chair person 5. Shes not above doing the cleaning. She too has worked as an in town or in the past. Now with the association, she supports the workers rights because many dont even get the designated minimum wage for their work. 1080. 00 euros a month migrants would that residency right . So often shamelessly exploited. Just let me do a little bit more than slavery because they dont pay you the legal minimum and your rights getting from hold on. Just because you dont have papacy law and dental when you complain that the employer says, why should i pay you buy the books when you dont even have paperless . Good step. That way, if i look into collaborate, sees when the populace dennis daily often comes by the association. 17 years ago, she came to spain from paraguay to en money for her family. The biggest burden is the separation from her children. So son was 10 at the time her daughter 15 because he doesnt have it in the, in the come on, i still see what i, while i left my children in paraguay. And now im here for other peoples children. Even want to close up on the news. Ive missed a lot of things on my daughters wedding, the both of my full grandchildren, my fathers death full of the thing is to keep the family together. Assignment that we thought all the media plays daily, i gets help from the association psychologist, anna camacho thinks the extreme living situation of the antennas is dangerous. They can be frustration and depression, even the loss of ones own identity. The last set on data and to allow you helping you out a lot of city julia, the boundaries between your probably bit and working life, but blue job going through this. How do i up there . So im not say really well, no money to your privacy and personal development, but im determined to fight mothers, both really low of the spanish authorities, one to end the precarious situation. Theyve imposed contracts with the minimum rest periods. And you decree now, grant Unemployment Benefits to Domestic Workers, but in reality, Domestic Work is hard to monitor. Family was the reason daily. I left power of why to work as an antenna. 70 years later around children are practically strangers to make an idea. I mean, i wouldnt do it again and how come will say i will try to stay in my country and somehow take care of my children. That was at least not be with them for gas out today, or i have no hope of winning back then. No fee, daily a is still proud that her work has enabled her children to get an education. But its being a high price to pay of more than 20 years ago parts ago did criminalize the consumption of all types of drugs in the coastal city or porto and other parts of the country. Its mainly those who deal in drugs who have to face legal consequences. Well, experts halo step as a role model for other countries. Port to residents like christiano silva have a different view. Hes unhappy about how addicts are getting high in his neighborhood. Often with the police seemingly powerless, charlton foil discarded bits of syringes and large old evidence of drug use in the streets and punks of points. Christiano silver sees it every day. He lives in portugal seconds onto a city and a middle class neighborhood. Its also a hang out the drug thats above and its disrespectful to the rest of the society or theyre using openly in the street. If its come. Yeah. If you dont like it, you have to cross the street and you have my gloves. And then if you say its not ok, they get aggressive, difficult thats on the part of my view, linda political de criminalized, own narcotics in 2001. No matter how dangerous anyone found in possession of less than 10 day supply. Now jessica, so fine, only dealers go to jail. Were on the road with police trade unionist who co maria, this is a drunk dealing area. Is a big way he is in the back there. Is there meeting the warranty . And its better to avoid it. Because they can get lost by putting together the dealing is still prohibited. Most drunk trains are made behind closed doors. While outdoor consumption isnt allowed, it really has legal consequences. The escape plans were no longer allowed to around consumers. And the problem is we come across more and more, which always seems like this was not the police have had their hands tied to this with the new face. That as soon as i saw for a few of those who can come without offered therapy and drug centers like this one was supposed to drawers, uses off the streets. But this is the only one in on of paul to show outcomes a daily to smoke, a comp time of heroin and cocaine under supervision of the over 2 months. So were human beings will 670. 00 to dictate to drug. So we need a lot of houses well examine. We do with a psychologist, Deanna Castro is proud of particles drunk law. She says its a way to entice those affected to the shadows. After all, there are few a drunk depths. Now windows key and this is also cleaning are the saddle when drug use is a crime. Whos the attic stay hidden. So see off the social radar . No, no. They dont accept treatment offers. Simply because theyre viewed as criminals. So ill go see that, excuse me, not as people in need of health on us can assist you from there for you this out. But thats clearly a lock of treatment surfaces. Critics fee, if a Public Safety gets an untenable state of affairs for put, treat, see a rep as old cheese the district man of amount the one a point i was problem. Neighborhoods sold the meals on either side. This feeling of fear at the us of turning around and looking to see if someone will be hind you towards the sea though. Its unacceptable for the full force please. Yeah, we need more police as we see more patrols on the street, the less who wish the police you and you know, also calling for top and mentions the were doing our job doing our rounds. Yes. Thatd be open but if there are no consequences, difficult. I think we use the facility that takes the users and forces them to accept the treatment of i mean, so my facility with enough resources and professionals to care for their knowledge, whether or not to bring out an individual, often more than 20 years of liberal and drunk policies, it is time to act says residents, christiano, silver, caring for addicts is all very well, but not at the expense of protecting the population easily uh, a couple of it all leads to a sense that they can do what they like with impunity. People them gets a pretty dangerous spiral. Yes, the scholars is nothing to billy glosson. Things settled down, debating christiano neighborhood after a big police operation. But some of the drugs seem just moved to another part of town. Something that clearly doesnt solve portez problem. A single post on social media has the power to change lives and happen to assess you and yeah, cause born with down syndrome. An online post sparked a new wave of solidarity and brief new life into the cafe where he works. Its in the boston m town of tools lab. The cafe is unique because it employs people with disabilities and they are devoted to their jobs. So when word spread, it was pasting closure. The Community Rallied of his job means everything to sasha. Ive shown you. Ok. He works almost every day at the clubs, me over search for dragons part club, cafe, and such. It has the heart of a fighter. He doesnt give up, even when the going gets tough. The file manager said it makes me so happy. Im full of joy. Lets say lima pony. I love working here and i always love it. Rolling that around the mall. That it up. I could work here 24 hours without to break stuff into that. Mid up in a few that his colleagues, forest cruz, whom of which cant speak, but with definitely 2nd that he even wanted to put a bed in the cafe, so he could spend the night there. The 2 of them are fortunate. The cafe project is the only one of its kind in bosnia, almost as you can see in their faces. And the faces of their families at the cafe is become like a 2nd home for them. Causes the only because with me what the severely parent say that theyve never been happy or that was one of the project was actually on the brink of failure. In the 1st few months, hardly any guests came. The cafe next door was full to the brim. But not so the dragons heart. Apart from edema offended genus. The writer has known such as since childhood. She visits him in the cafe almost every day. One saturday, a few weeks ago she was the only guest an old man took a photo of her nissan. No, no, i didnt know mer took my picture. We were sitting there chatting to schedule it and he said he was going to post that the club was closing at the end of the month. He said that okay. Um yeah, i said, oh, come on. It doesnt have to come to that. And he said we can survive this financially, macintosh like post them after i post everything changed. Is that the solution of this it 1st the Regional Media reports it on it. Then it went nationwide was and so suddenly we were full from morning till night. Of course, if this would not be the 1st 23. 00 weeks, you couldnt get a table here for the rest is on it for a lot of them. Yes. So it was a miracle they say, since then, the cafe has been doing great. The guests pile on the praise. The truth though like coffee. Im telling you this one of the best caches we need today, tidy, almost pedantic, became a cheese and the service is top class. Something was to go ahead and be circle me. Well, i was quite surprised at 1st. I didnt expect it, but it makes no difference. I think they even stares me and the others with a bit more respect and friendliness than youd see elsewhere.
