The messages are spreading like wildfire and thousands of followers are joining the callers almost all the strongest. Players in the morning changing global. Digital storage nov twenty fifth on the day w. Hello welcome to eco india a sustainability magazine who lives on solutions and the people who make them possible every week we will bring you stories from across india and go so that you can make an informed choice for Sustainable Future on some of the of our group coming to you from move by in india. Over the next thirty minutes to find out why my son was one of the leaders cities in india. The. Power matriarchal society
tribes in the twenty first century. Why Artificial Seagrass could be a game changer in seizing the worlds oceans. Lets start with a problem thats been firing up in india a majority of the soul of these generally if it is not processed and most often lands up in landfills but one locality in the city of mice with assault of india is championing the calls to send zero waste to landfills not only that the recycled beast is sold for a profit how scalable and sustainable is the small lets find out. Of. The city of my. Hes in mission mode. Thank. God the break of dawn every day an army of civic workers has been going all out to reclaim this city status as the cleanest city in the country. And i got my suit was given the cleanest city of war by the government. Bowman on corn and then the game called Two Thousand And Seventeen and this year the eighth and i spent a while there i got in a moment and i got a whole administration. All of us are trying very hard to go back to number one of a bottom up we have now preparing
a feel. For the city traditionally you persist with hygiene this what sort of action but the annual Friendliness Index is a big deal a survey of the Trends Indian cities based on the level of sanitation and facilities for beast management. The want on my soon to be asking us to develop countries of the world with on. My soon is more deal of cleanliness goes beyond efficient collection of garbage. Combining traditional methods of segregation with Modern Processing Blonds the city has been pushing for zero we used to be sent to landfills. One thing is for sure it has to be dealt with at every level right trauma many mycroft a small kitchen. Right up to a Hotel Generating Race to world reading all of a banquet hall this is generating race to an industrial campus to an office area everyone has to attempt to deal with that to the maximum possible extent in men that are on them and only send out what they can deal with four cities to manage. My student produces four hundred. Fifty percent of this is treated at plans while a quarter of a fetus processed by recycling units. The National Figures however arent quite as impressive indeed produces Sixty Two Million tons of waste every year one of the largest general eaters in the world while eighty two percent of it
is collected only a quarter gets treated. Most of the beast invariably ends up in landfills and dump sites. They could see the look the government decided to set up to Waste Management plant in the north of my super. Good little boy behind was going to set the stage for the rest of the city. Theyd always moneys when does like norway asked the client online for you to be in syndication so we had completely money to be receiving from our different watch of my specific operation. As you can see we have bought twenty six davis collection take it again and we have
one solo i had next we gave amnesty the public. They did about those employed in the game but. Theyve been given the title of not good money which translates as friends of the city in. Developing a detailed we signal you should want to it has also created an opportunity for formal employment for these workers most of whom about to put a Large Network of informal back because. Most of. The City Corporation is not trying to bring more and more of them into therefore. They have provided i dont regard as. Benefits particularly gardy yes i and. It was like i had a fairly serious building given by the gold mine. But new york is
wanting to eat well to keep us to about Twenty Thousand households in this city. One of the means responsibilities of the steamer for two to bliss is do court is to make sure that the collect wheezed that has already been segregated inside who. With the formal marking system in place did incentivized in the least is in order and penalized if it is a. Question of the law but will that you should first get done or do any of us get forty five fifty or sixty marks with all of the citizens are you doing your job youre. Going. To be the point beyond says ninety five percent if its recycled reste back into the city to local entrepreneurs like sheep on geneva. Recycling of plastic is done here that is we are counting plastic into our and we can use this into stationary
engines so after this weekend to come up with the new projects like making it off the markets with the using another catalyst and making up off the balance which is another kind of recycling. The base does not have raised it is treated as a resource so we should make use of force a geisha and we have to convert the waste into the property. In. The city of my salute meal read between the city once again next year. But its really its way to achieving so much more than its enabled to its building a Sustainable Future. Now its only a matter of the imagination how we used to give the recycling to the g. Used our next Story Highlights just that a small team of. Mental enthusiastic benevolence has found a way to prevent plastic beast from flowing into the open sea by Installing Traps in the hobby since its rotterdam but whats even better is these created a floating park with the wind speed collected in these traps. This is a manmade Floating Island beside a disused wharf in the dutch City Of Rest A dam and its not just humans that find it appealing. It really works like a magnet for all these animals which have been already in the port but didnt ever really space to go to go see around its all brick steel and concrete seed out of this is their first actual green structure within this area and all the fish and birds and all the different government animals they come here. What makes this
Floating Island unique is that its made of recycled plastic Fifteen Thousand kilograms of trash the recycled island is a floating park a place of repose its small just One Hundred Forty square meters insides and more of a prototype theres plenty more Plastic Trash Kurdish now structures we see a lot of plastic losing the coming from that industry also from the construction in the sides but also from the tourism in the record nationwide in the city itself so its really a reasonable amount of plastic pollution thats thats now still entering the north sea and its really valuable we use this plastic as a recycling to make new products. Russia dam has europes largest seaport and is the netherlands leading center of industry entry. Than even mass river flows through the city bringing tons of plastic garbage with it the trash ends up in the city and in the north sea parts found
a set up special little traps to prevent it from being carried further along. This is really one of the harbors which is the most polluted so we are now here on the sides of the river and we see that when the river is there and there been direction really blows all the plastics into this harbor and now were able to retrieve it there. The traps are emptied once or twice a month come on can i still always check things over. Due to the proximity of the sea and its time than even mastery of always changes direction and thats a problem for the literature apps. The difficulty that we have or still have is that the direction of the stream changed the stories today so what we have to really develop is a system that retrieves the plastics but also contains its Wildest Dreams Go without words and of their one and a half year of buying thing and test saying were finally have
a good result this thread works in all weather conditions. The concept has a ready been copied in far off indonesia there are two traps that Remove Garbage from the water at the end of august Twenty Eight Hundred more later chaps will be set up in brussels. Back in rotterdam over nice clean up so also part of the recycling project at least once a month by month nest his team scours the river banks. The forty two year old himself has the task of cleaning up the bank at the edge of the lift the chaps. Who have a lot of the tea bottles we have a lot of full. Here all different kind of plastics and its very important that we clean up here because here we still have a natural slope and you see that with a difference in the water level with washes up here and if we dont take it away ourselves that can stay here for years. And also when the water rises again it
might take it down more of the river and towards the sea. Plastic garbage that gets recycled in order to create new little chaps and Floating Islands. On Canasta The Recycle Park in rotterdam is an important First Step Towards getting plastic pollution under control he wants to set up the floating platforms in other parts of the world to the sooner the better. Using an i. D. L. Product to do more than what its meant to do and in the process save the environment is truly something when an American Company by a life or death of a Camping Store to provide electricity and a safe cooking will turn a deep vein youll be how do we know how it works. Cooking on an open fire is a common way to prepare a meal but the smoke can cause respiratory diseases. Every year three point eight Million People die as a result of indoor pollution. An American Camping gear start up has no changing lives. With its home stove. The technology prevents the formation of harmful gases. The stove needs fifty percent plus fire award which reduces smoke emissions. It also produces. Electricity. Perfect off the grid solution.

Not equality is about leaving a mcdonogh most life its about education and deciding whether or more to have children and of course its about being paid to see the same work still a huge issue worldwide india ranks in the one point two of the Gender Inequality Index and yet here in the state of mekhala theres a tribe thats changing the. World through you. Including someone who didnt being met him i didnt you see half of that does and shes a girl and i will. Do and im going to get her whatever she one ill give but not things are. Not bad things but good things and that means land
and the house because the men work on their wives land at the moment the harvesting laurel. This landowner has a son and also much to his satisfaction two doses. Of the Society Overall responsibility lies with mother as the mother is the head of the family when she dies her daughter inherits her property thats how its being for generations. The Kazi Practice Matrilineal Descent the youngest daughter of the family the kakadu inherits all ancestral property sons live with their mothers until they get married then they move in with their wifes family every time a daughter marries the family extends the property to accommodate ten new family. In the lead vehicle with a load of them but ill allow our children have their mothers name not their
fathers name. That will. Be able to do it with your doubts because america used to fulfill your familys needs. When the women are in charge of the home and the property they do agree make sure everything runs smoothly. In the state of Mega Liar The Karzi who number roughly one million are officially recognized as an ethnic minority they enjoy certain privileges because the law is protected by an Autonomous District government they also pay lower taxes and benefit from indias Employment Reservation Policy for government and Public Sector jobs in the culture tends to favor boys over girls but in Kasi Culture A family with no girls is considered unfortunate men are financially dependent on their wives there are barely any registered cases of Domestic Violence in the afternoons the women like to meet up for tea and gossip in more long from farmers
to business women everyone here chats together comfortably con abi is the owner of the tea house. I go. By the way that i sell tea and lights likes. That the one i provide for my own children my whole clan here but they all fear that i dont earn a lot but its enough for my family the way i did our own male. More. Common rb is determined to protect Kasi Tradition from outside influences you. Cannot. Command as a woman im very proud of our tradition. Men move in with their wives that they look after us and they also help us look after the children. Its good to be a woman here. But let me back. Up. Life isnt always easy for the
kakadu from an early age youngest daughters have to take care of their families they look after the younger children in the extended family cook clean and wash clothes theyre also expected to take care of their parents and grandparents until they die. Indian society is largely male dominated and kazi men are often the butt of jokes but they themselves have no problem with women ruling the roost. My wife respect me a lot so now they are thought to spend a lot but we would each other i would respect for keeping our childrens. Developing a future. Or boy site but. Its more improper or should off me and are supporting for children that is what it will be billy show is renovating her mothers market stall shes just eighteen and still goes to school
but shes already the head of her family still shes optimistic about the future. Its in the border because after to uphold tradition as well shell have her work cut out for her however one tradition remains on challenge to mega lives villages are considered the cleanest in the whole of asia that women are constantly cleaning and tidying and broomsticks for more long a popular tourist souvenirs broom grass grows here everywhere its handpicked by the women and bound to make the groups. One feature of qazi culture at least that has been exported all over south asia. Well in the shallow waters of our large areas of the ocean by sea these underwater maybe. There was just like rain forest on the lab. Results. Of biodiversity
and a slow growing plant plenty of time to recover thats why scientists in germany are trying to help with artificial c s. It grows just off the coast in areas where the sea floor is splash. Huge beds of seagrass are often called The Oceans Rain Forests and they play a similar role in Marine Ecology they offer countless species both sustenance and protection. Also produce oxygen and sector Carbon Dioxide by binding it in a long term form for the last two years with the project See Art Roll Vian Wave and his colleagues have been trying to find out what other vital functions the marine plants might fulfill. The damp down energy transmitted in waves and also curb the power of currents. So that in turn helps cut down on seabed
erosion. Helped stabilize it so plays a role in Coastal Protection because the waves that arrive on the coast strike it with less energy. The first step for the researchers was to examine the condition of the sea grass beds on germanys coasts the results show that agriculture on land is proving poisonous to the marine plants Global Warming is also causing massive algae blooms that cut off the light that sea grass needs to grow european universities and partners from industry are working together on this project. Theres a huge amount of sea grass in the tropics but its disappearing there because fishers often use dynamite and because trenches are being cut to lay pipelines that creates these corridors through the beds and on its own the sea grass is unable to repopulate those areas. Now artificial sea grass could help
provide a solution to the problem just like its natural counterpart and it would help dampen wave energy and prevent sea bed erosion providing the right conditions for natural sea grass to grow back in. The plastic sea grass is still in testing. The researchers want to know how long the blades have to be to prove effective and where the material has to be flexible and where it needs to be stiff. The testing at this facility should prove insightful. Vienna way of all and his colleagues try out currents at different speeds that tells them how well theyre artificial sea grass beds breaks the currents. It works just like real sea grass it behaves in a way thats very similar to Real Sea Grass Field full of. Experiments that we performed when we learned that the speed of the current changes both within our
beds and on the upstream side of it. But as the mounts they construct the weight of natural fibers or plastic the researchers are still looking for the optimal Material Sciences and i would think that. It has to be as close as possible to The Real Thing but also easy to produce. And most importantly it has to disappear without a trace as natural sea grass grows back this kind of Research Takes time in the dark frigid salt water off Northern Europe the materials theyre Testing Break down very slowly. On the Tolman On Tradition our dream is to produce a Prototype Module that can be adjusted to fit a very different environmental condition that sufficient people spitting on and they dont have to be able to cope with different types of currents as well as the different microorganisms nation. On the smen the sea our Research Team wants to develop their prototype as quickly as possible because time is up the essence the
worlds marine rain forests are disappearing at the rate of over twenty football fields a day.
