Godina je 2013., a 2,5 milijardi ljudi diljem svijeta nema zahod. Bez njega se nužda obavlja na ulici, vjerojatno u blizini izvora vode i hrane -- to dovodi do raznih zaraznih bolesti i smrti, no o tome se ne priča. Čeka vas iskren, duhovit i moćan govor novinarke Rose George o problemu koji se nekoć nije spominjao.

Let's talk dirty.

Hajdemo pričati prljavo.
00:16
A few years ago, oddly enough,
1
4644
2736
Prije nekoliko godina, začudo,
00:19
I needed the bathroom,
2
7380
2734
trebala sam ići na zahod
00:22
and I found one, a public bathroom,
3
10114
3350
i uspjela sam ga pronaći, javni WC,
00:25
and I went into the stall,
4
13464
2364
i ušla sam u kabinu,
00:27
and I prepared to do what I'd done most of my life:
5
15828
3297
i htjela napraviti ono što radim
čitav svoj život:
čitav svoj život:
00:31
use the toilet, flush the toilet, forget about the toilet.
6
19125
4542
poslužiti se toaletom, pustiti vodu
i zaboraviti na to.
i zaboraviti na to.
00:35
And for some reason that day, instead,
7
23667
2081
Iz nekog sam se razloga toga dana
00:37
I asked myself a question,
8
25748
2184
zapitala nešto:
00:39
and it was, where does this stuff go?
9
27932
3876
gdje to sve odlazi?
00:43
And with that question, I found myself plunged
10
31808
3892
I s tim sam pitanjem uronila
00:47
into the world of sanitation --
11
35700
4024
u svijet sanitacija --
00:51
there's more coming -- (Laughter) —
12
39724
1565
ima toga još -- (Smijeh) --
00:53
sanitation, toilets and poop,
13
41289
4569
sanitacija, zahoda i kakice,
00:57
and I have yet to emerge.
14
45858
3073
i još uvijek nisam izronila.
01:00
And that's because it's such an enraging,
15
48931
2305
A to je zato što taj svijet razbjesni,
01:03
yet engaging place to be.
16
51236
3216
ali i zaintrigira čovjeka.
01:06
To go back to that toilet,
17
54452
3256
Da se vratim na onaj zahod,
01:09
it wasn't a particularly fancy toilet,
18
57708
2794
nije on bio profinjen,
01:12
it wasn't as nice as this one
19
60502
1435
nije bio lijep kao ovaj iz
01:13
from the World Toilet Organization.
20
61937
2931
Svjetske organizacije za toalete.
01:16
That's the other WTO. (Laughter)
21
64868
4267
To je drugi WTO. (Smijeh)
01:21
But it had a lockable door, it had privacy, it had water,
22
69135
3614
Ali je imao vrata, nudio privatnost, imao
01:24
it had soap so I could wash my hands,
23
72749
2264
vodu i sapun za pranje ruku koje sam i
01:27
and I did because I'm a woman, and we do that.
24
75013
3064
oprala jer sam žena, a mi to radimo.
01:30
(Laughter) (Applause)
25
78077
5608
(Smijeh) (Pljesak)
01:35
But that day, when I asked that question,
26
83685
2411
Ali toga dana, kada sam se to zapitala,
01:38
I learned something, and that was that I'd grown up thinking
27
86096
2733
shvatila sam da sam odrasla misleći da
01:40
that a toilet like that was my right,
28
88829
2215
je takav zahod moje pravo,
01:43
when in fact it's a privilege.
29
91044
3178
a on je zapravo privilegija.
01:46
2.5 billion people worldwide have no adequate toilet.
30
94222
5259
2,5 milijardi ljudi nema adekvatan zahod.
01:51
They don't have a bucket or a box.
31
99481
3940
Oni nemaju kantu ili kutiju.
01:55
Forty percent of the world with no adequate toilet.
32
103421
4208
40 posto svijeta bez odgovarajućeg zahoda.
01:59
And they have to do what this little boy is doing
33
107629
2497
I svi oni rade isto što i ovaj dječak
02:02
by the side of the Mumbai Airport expressway,
34
110126
2935
pored zračne luke u Mumbaiju
02:05
which is called open defecation,
35
113061
2648
a to se zove otvorena defekacija
02:07
or poo-pooing in the open.
36
115709
3355
ili kakanje na otvorenom prostoru.
02:11
And he does that every day,
37
119064
2234
On to čini svakog dana,
02:13
and every day, probably, that guy in the picture
38
121298
2499
i vjerojatno svaki dan taj tip na slici
02:15
walks on by,
39
123797
1854
prođe pored njega,
02:17
because he sees that little boy, but he doesn't see him.
40
125651
3458
vidi tog dječaka, ali ga ne primijeti.
02:21
But he should, because the problem
41
129109
2120
Ali trebao bi zato što je problem
02:23
with all that poop lying around
42
131229
2360
u svoj toj kakici na otvorenom taj
02:25
is that poop carries passengers.
43
133589
3008
da je puna putnika.
02:28
Fifty communicable diseases like to travel in human shit.
44
136597
4299
50 zaraznih bolesti putuje
ljudskim sranjem.
ljudskim sranjem.
02:32
All those things, the eggs, the cysts,
45
140896
2421
Sve te stvari, jajašca, ciste,
02:35
the bacteria, the viruses, all those can travel
46
143317
2776
bakterije, virusi, svi oni mogu putovati
02:38
in one gram of human feces.
47
146093
3408
u jednom gramu ljudskog izmeta.
02:41
How? Well, that little boy will not have washed his hands.
48
149501
3712
Kako? Pa, onaj dječak neće oprati ruke.
02:45
He's barefoot. He'll run back into his house,
49
153213
2496
Bos je. Otrčat će nazad u svoju kuću,
02:47
and he will contaminate his drinking water and his food
50
155709
3655
kontaminirat će vodu za piće i hranu,
02:51
and his environment
51
159364
1404
kao i čitavu okolinu
02:52
with whatever diseases he may be carrying
52
160768
2397
bolešću čiji je prijenosnik
02:55
by fecal particles that are on his fingers and feet.
53
163165
5749
i to izmetnim česticama s prstiju i nogu.
03:00
In what I call the flushed-and-plumbed world
54
168914
2272
U svijetu s vodoinstalacijama
03:03
that most of us in this room are lucky to live in,
55
171186
2627
u kojem, srećom, većina nas ovdje živi,
03:05
the most common symptoms associated with those diseases,
56
173813
3049
najčešći simptomi ove bolesti,
03:08
diarrhea, is now a bit of a joke.
57
176862
2826
proljeva, su šale.
03:11
It's the runs, the Hershey squirts, the squits.
58
179688
3691
Radi se o trčkavici, špricanju.
03:15
Where I come from, we call it Delhi belly,
59
183379
1850
U mom kraju to zovemo pupak Delhija,
03:17
as a legacy of empire.
60
185229
2608
da se označi ostavština carstva.
03:19
But if you search for a stock photo of diarrhea
61
187837
3740
Ali ako potražite fotografiju proljeva
03:23
in a leading photo image agency,
62
191577
2791
u vodećim fotografskim agencijama,
03:26
this is the picture that you come up with.
63
194368
2020
dobit ćete ovu fotografiju.
03:28
(Laughter)
64
196388
1865
(Smijeh)
03:30
Still not sure about the bikini.
65
198253
5179
Nije mi baš jasan taj bikini.
03:35
And here's another image of diarrhea.
66
203432
2496
A ovdje je još jedna slika proljeva.
03:37
This is Marie Saylee, nine months old.
67
205928
3112
Ovo je Marie Saylee, stara 9 mjeseci.
03:41
You can't see her, because she's buried
68
209040
1799
Ne možete ju vidjeti jer se nalazi
03:42
under that green grass in a little village in Liberia,
69
210839
3283
pod zemljom u malenom selu u Liberiji
03:46
because she died in three days from diarrhea --
70
214122
3562
jer je u samo tri dana umrla od proljeva --
03:49
the Hershey squirts, the runs, a joke.
71
217684
3629
trčkavice, špricanja, šale.
03:53
And that's her dad.
72
221313
2479
A to je njezin otac.
03:55
But she wasn't alone that day,
73
223792
1562
Ona nije bila sama taj dan
03:57
because 4,000 other children died of diarrhea,
74
225354
3800
jer je još 4000 djece umrlo od proljeva
04:01
and they do every day.
75
229154
2670
i umire ih toliko svaki dan.
04:03
Diarrhea is the second biggest killer of children worldwide,
76
231824
4999
Proljev je drugi najčešći uzrok smrti
04:08
and you've probably been asked to care about things
77
236823
2672
djece diljem svijeta i vjerojatno su vas
04:11
like HIV/AIDS or T.B. or measles,
78
239495
3161
upozoravali na HIV/AIDS, TBC ili ospice,
04:14
but diarrhea kills more children
79
242656
1344
ali proljev ubije više djece
04:16
than all those three things put together.
80
244000
3712
nego te tri bolesti zajedno.
04:19
It's a very potent weapon of mass destruction.
81
247712
4342
To je snažno oružje masovnog uništenja.
04:24
And the cost to the world is immense:
82
252054
3148
A cijena koju svijet plaća je neizmjerna:
04:27
260 billion dollars lost every year
83
255202
2489
260 milijardi dolara svake godine odlazi
04:29
on the losses to poor sanitation.
84
257691
2993
na gubitke zbog loših sanitarnih uvjeta.
04:32
These are cholera beds in Haiti.
85
260684
1681
Ovo su ležaji za koleru na Haitiju.
04:34
You'll have heard of cholera, but we don't hear about diarrhea.
86
262365
3499
Čuli ste o koleri, ali ne i o proljevu.
04:37
It gets a fraction of the attention and funding
87
265864
2184
On dobiva samo mali dio pažnje i sredstava
04:40
given to any of those other diseases.
88
268048
3716
koje dobivaju druge bolesti.
04:43
But we know how to fix this.
89
271764
2412
Ali znamo kako to ispraviti.
04:46
We know, because in the mid-19th century,
90
274176
3520
Znamo zato što su sredinom 19. stoljeća
04:49
wonderful Victorian engineers
91
277696
2389
divni viktorijanski inženjeri
04:52
installed systems of sewers and wastewater treatment
92
280085
2803
montirali kanalizacijske i sustave za
obradu otpadnih voda i
obradu otpadnih voda i
04:54
and the flush toilet, and disease dropped dramatically.
93
282888
4711
zahode i broj se oboljelih znatno smanjio.
04:59
Child mortality dropped by the most
94
287599
1909
Smrtnost djece je opala
05:01
it had ever dropped in history.
95
289508
2190
najviše u povijesti čovječanstva.
05:03
The flush toilet was voted the best medical advance
96
291698
2946
Zahod su proglasili najznačajnijim
medicinskim napretkom
medicinskim napretkom
05:06
of the last 200 years by the readers of the British Medical Journal,
97
294644
3180
u zadnjih 200 godina čitatelji British
Medical Journala,
Medical Journala,
05:09
and they were choosing over the Pill, anesthesia,
98
297824
2843
a birali su između pilule, anestezije
05:12
and surgery.
99
300667
1408
i operativnih zahvata.
05:14
It's a wonderful waste disposal device.
100
302075
2721
To je divan uređaj za zbrinjavanje otpada.
05:16
But I think that it's so good — it doesn't smell,
101
304796
3618
Smatram da je odličan jer ne smrdi,
05:20
we can put it in our house, we can lock it behind a door —
102
308414
2779
može biti u kućama, možemo ga zaključati,
05:23
and I think we've locked it out of conversation too.
103
311193
3004
ali smo ga zaključali i
kao temu za razgovor.
kao temu za razgovor.
05:26
We don't have a neutral word for it.
104
314197
1655
Nemamo neutralnu riječ za to.
05:27
Poop's not particularly adequate.
105
315852
1943
Kakica nije baš prikladno.
05:29
Shit offends people. Feces is too medical.
106
317795
4125
Sranje je uvredljivo. Izmet medicinsko.
05:33
Because I can't explain otherwise,
107
321920
2192
Ne mogu drukčije objasniti to što
05:36
when I look at the figures, what's going on.
108
324112
3568
se događa kada pogledam statistiku.
05:39
We know how to solve diarrhea and sanitation,
109
327680
2574
Znamo kako riješiti proljev i sanitacije,
05:42
but if you look at the budgets of countries,
110
330254
2330
ali ako pogledate proračune država,
05:44
developing and developed,
111
332584
2321
onih u razvoju, ali i razvijenih,
05:46
you'll think there's something wrong with the math,
112
334905
2551
pomislit ćete da nešto nije uredu.
05:49
because you'll expect absurdities like
113
337456
2826
Očekujete apsurde poput onoga da Pakistan
05:52
Pakistan spending 47 times more on its military
114
340282
2882
troši 47 puta više na vojsku nego
05:55
than it does on water and sanitation,
115
343164
2281
na vodu i sanitarne uvjete,
05:57
even though 150,000 children die of diarrhea
116
345445
2808
iako 150 000 djece godišnje umre
06:00
in Pakistan every year.
117
348253
2099
u Pakistanu zbog proljeva.
06:02
But then you look at that already minuscule
118
350352
1960
A onda pogledate već sićušan proračun za
06:04
water and sanitation budget,
119
352312
1894
vodu i sanitacije i shvatite da
06:06
and 75 to 90 percent of it will go on clean water supply,
120
354206
3484
75 do 90 posto ide za opskrbu čistom vodom
06:09
which is great; we all need water.
121
357690
1953
što je odlično jer trebamo vodu.
06:11
No one's going to refuse clean water.
122
359643
2307
Nitko neće odbiti čistu vodu.
06:13
But the humble latrine, or flush toilet,
123
361950
2951
Ali skroman nužnik ili zahod smanjuje
06:16
reduces disease by twice as much
124
364901
2109
dva puta više broj bolesti nego
06:19
as just putting in clean water.
125
367010
2424
puko osiguravanje čiste vode.
06:21
Think about it. That little boy
126
369434
1311
Razmislite malo. Onaj dječak
06:22
who's running back into his house,
127
370745
1855
koji trči natrag u kuću
06:24
he may have a nice, clean fresh water supply,
128
372600
2110
možda tamo ima čistu vodu,
06:26
but he's got dirty hands that he's going to contaminate his water supply with.
129
374710
4460
ali njegove su ruke prljave i njima će
kontaminirati tu vodu.
kontaminirati tu vodu.
06:31
And I think that the real waste of human waste
130
379170
3504
Smatram da je prava šteta to
što se ljudski otpad ne
što se ljudski otpad ne
06:34
is that we are wasting it as a resource
131
382674
2768
koristi kao resurs i
06:37
and as an incredible trigger for development,
132
385442
3760
kao nevjerojatni pokretač razvitka
06:41
because these are a few things that toilets
133
389202
2150
jer su ovo samo neke od stvari koje zahodi
06:43
and poop itself can do for us.
134
391352
2930
i kakica sama po sebi mogu učiniti za nas.
06:46
So a toilet can put a girl back in school.
135
394282
3176
Zahod može vratiti djevojčicu u školu.
06:49
Twenty-five percent of girls in India drop out of school
136
397458
2832
25 posto djevojčica u Indiji se ispiše iz škole
06:52
because they have no adequate sanitation.
137
400290
3518
jer nemaju odgovarajuće sanitarne uvjete.
06:55
They've been used to sitting through lessons
138
403808
1765
Naviknule su godinama sjediti
06:57
for years and years holding it in.
139
405573
2917
u školi i suzdržavati se.
07:00
We've all done that, but they do it every day,
140
408490
2760
Svi to nekad radimo, ali one svaki dan.
07:03
and when they hit puberty and they start menstruating,
141
411250
2556
A još kada uđu u pubertet i
dobiju menstruaciju,
dobiju menstruaciju,
07:05
it just gets too much.
142
413806
2343
to postane previše za njih.
07:08
And I understand that. Who can blame them?
143
416149
3541
Razumijem to i tko ih može osuđivati?
07:11
So if you met an educationalist and said,
144
419690
1926
Kada biste osobi u obrazovanju rekli da
07:13
"I can improve education attendance rates by 25 percent
145
421616
2874
možete povećati stopu obrazovanja za 25 posto
07:16
with just one simple thing,"
146
424490
2198
jednom jednostavnom stvari,
07:18
you'd make a lot of friends in education.
147
426688
2813
imali biste puno prijatelja
u obrazovnom sustavu.
u obrazovnom sustavu.
07:21
That's not the only thing it can do for you.
148
429501
2535
I to nije jedino što može učiniti.
07:24
Poop can cook your dinner.
149
432036
3060
Kakica može skuhati vašu večeru.
07:27
It's got nutrients in it.
150
435096
1694
Sadrži hranjive tvari,
07:28
We ingest nutrients. We excrete nutrients as well.
151
436790
2461
a njih unosimo i izbacujemo.
07:31
We don't keep them all.
152
439251
1852
Ne zadržavamo ih sve u sebi.
07:33
In Rwanda, they are now getting
153
441103
2627
U Ruandi sada proizvode
07:35
75 percent of their cooking fuel in their prison system
154
443730
2844
75 posto goriva za kuhanje u zatvorima
07:38
from the contents of prisoners' bowels.
155
446574
3362
iz sadržaja crijeva zatvorenika.
07:41
So these are a bunch of inmates in a prison in Butare.
156
449936
3786
Ovo je hrpa zatvorenika u Butareu.
07:45
They're genocidal inmates, most of them,
157
453722
2152
Većina njih je genocidna,
07:47
and they're stirring the contents of their own latrines,
158
455874
3648
i miješaju sadržaj vlastitih nužnika
07:51
because if you put poop in a sealed environment, in a tank,
159
459522
3311
jer ako je kakica u zatvorenom
prostoru, u spremniku
prostoru, u spremniku
07:54
pretty much like a stomach,
160
462833
1756
kao što je želudac,
07:56
then, pretty much like a stomach, it gives off gas,
161
464589
2813
onda će nastajati plinovi, kao i u želucu,
07:59
and you can cook with it.
162
467402
2025
a na plin možete kuhati.
08:01
And you might think it's just good karma
163
469427
2143
I možda mislite da se radi o karmi
08:03
to see these guys stirring shit,
164
471570
2472
jer oni miješaju vlastita govna,
08:06
but it's also good economic sense,
165
474042
2300
ali to je i ekonomski isplativo jer
08:08
because they're saving a million dollars a year.
166
476342
2066
štede milijune dolara godišnje.
08:10
They're cutting down on deforestation,
167
478408
2006
Smanjuju krčenje šuma,
08:12
and they've found a fuel supply that is inexhaustible,
168
480414
2903
a pronašli su beskrajan izvor goriva
08:15
infinite and free at the point of production.
169
483317
4742
čija je proizvodnja besplatna.
08:20
It's not just in the poor world that poop can save lives.
170
488059
3348
Kakica ne spašava samo siromašne.
08:23
Here's a woman who's about to get a dose
171
491407
2152
Ovdje imamo ženu koja će dobiti dozu
08:25
of the brown stuff in those syringes,
172
493559
1753
smeđe stvari pomoću tih šprica,
08:27
which is what you think it is,
173
495312
1936
a to jest ono što mislite da jest,
08:29
except not quite, because it's actually donated.
174
497248
3044
iako ne u potpunosti jer je ovo donacija.
08:32
There is now a new career path called stool donor.
175
500292
2882
Postoji nova karijera -- donor stolice.
08:35
It's like the new sperm donor.
176
503174
1820
To je poput novog donora sperme.
08:36
Because she has been suffering from a superbug called C. diff,
177
504994
2993
Ona pati od bolesti C. difficile koja se
08:39
and it's resistant to antibiotics in many cases.
178
507987
3444
često ne može liječiti antibioticima.
08:43
She's been suffering for years.
179
511431
1512
Pati već godinama.
08:44
She gets a dose of healthy human feces,
180
512943
3092
Dobit će dozu zdravog ljudskog izmeta,
08:48
and the cure rate for this procedure is 94 percent.
181
516035
4481
a izlječenje je moguće u 94% slučajeva.
08:52
It's astonishing, but hardly anyone is still doing it.
182
520516
4398
Zadivljujuće je, ali slabo se prakticira.
08:56
Maybe it's the ick factor.
183
524914
2022
Možda zato što je ljudima fuj.
08:58
That's okay, because there's a team of research scientists
184
526936
2870
To je ok jer postoji tim stručnjaka u
09:01
in Canada who have now created a stool sample,
185
529806
2977
Kanadi koji su stvorili uzorak stolice,
09:04
a fake stool sample which is called RePOOPulate.
186
532783
2784
lažne stolice koja se zove ReKAKIlacija.
09:07
So you'd be thinking by now, okay, the solution's simple,
187
535567
2288
Možda mislite da je rješenje jednostavno,
09:09
we give everyone a toilet.
188
537855
1885
svima treba osigurati zahod.
09:11
And this is where it gets really interesting,
189
539740
2153
A tu stvari postaju zanimljive
09:13
because it's not that simple, because we are not simple.
190
541893
2925
jer nisu jednostavne kad
ni mi nismo jednostavni.
ni mi nismo jednostavni.
09:16
So the really interesting, exciting work --
191
544818
4093
Najzanimljiviji dio svega ovoga
09:20
this is the engaging bit -- in sanitation is that
192
548911
2936
vezano za sanitarne uvjete jest taj
09:23
we need to understand human psychology.
193
551847
2328
da moramo razumjeti ljudsku psihu.
09:26
We need to understand software
194
554175
2376
Moramo poznavati softver,
09:28
as well as just giving someone hardware.
195
556551
2352
a ne samo osigurati hardver.
09:30
They've found in many developing countries that
196
558903
1782
U mnogim zemljama u razvoju
09:32
governments have gone in and given out free latrines
197
560685
2722
vlade su dijelile besplatne nužnike
09:35
and gone back a few years later and found that they've
198
563407
2156
i par godina kasnije otkrilo se da
09:37
got lots of new goat sheds or temples or spare rooms
199
565563
4123
postoji mnogo novih nastrešnica,
hramova i slobodnih soba
hramova i slobodnih soba
09:41
with their owners happily walking past them
200
569686
2367
pored kojih vlasnici prolaze
09:44
and going over to the open defecating ground.
201
572053
3810
i vrše defekaciju na otvorenom.
09:47
So the idea is to manipulate human emotion.
202
575863
3024
Ideja je ta da se utječe na osjećaje.
09:50
It's been done for decades. The soap companies did it
203
578887
2501
To se radi desetljećima. Tvrtke za sapune
09:53
in the early 20th century.
204
581388
1939
su to radile u ranom 20. stoljeću.
09:55
They tried selling soap as healthy. No one bought it.
205
583327
2759
Sapun su neuspješno prodavali pod zdravo.
09:58
They tried selling it as sexy. Everyone bought it.
206
586086
4167
Kad su ga označili kao seksi, uspjeli su.
10:02
In India now there's a campaign
207
590253
1355
U Indiji traje kampanja koja
10:03
which persuades young brides
208
591608
2546
mlade nevjeste odgovara od
10:06
not to marry into families that don't have a toilet.
209
594154
3098
udaje ako obitelj ne posjeduje zahod.
10:09
It's called "No Loo, No I Do."
210
597252
2668
Zove se "Nema zahoda, nema zaruka".
10:11
(Laughter)
211
599920
2347
(Smijeh)
10:14
And in case you think that poster's just propaganda,
212
602267
1975
Ako mislite da se radi samo o propagandi,
10:16
here's Priyanka, 23 years old.
213
604242
2100
ovo je dvadesettrogodišnja Priyanka koju
10:18
I met her last October in India,
214
606342
2121
sam upoznala prošlog listopada u Indiji.
10:20
and she grew up in a conservative environment.
215
608463
3057
Odrasla je u konzervativnom okružju.
10:23
She grew up in a rural village in a poor area of India,
216
611520
3096
Odrasla je u siromašnom selu u Indiji,
10:26
and she was engaged at 14, and then at 21 or so,
217
614616
4166
zaručena je s 14, a kada je imala 21
10:30
she moved into her in-law's house.
218
618782
1771
uselila se kod svojte.
10:32
And she was horrified to get there and find
219
620553
2035
Bila je užasnuta kada je shvatila
10:34
that they didn't have a toilet.
220
622588
1292
da nemaju zahod.
10:35
She'd grown up with a latrine.
221
623880
1367
Odrasla je imajući nužnik.
10:37
It was no big deal, but it was a latrine.
222
625247
1954
Nije bio nešto posebno, ali je postojao.
10:39
And the first night she was there, she was told
223
627201
2023
Prve noći kad je došla rečeno joj je
10:41
that at 4 o'clock in the morning --
224
629224
1207
da u 4 sata ujutro --
10:42
her mother-in-law got her up, told her to go outside
225
630431
2839
probudila ju je svekrva i poslala van
10:45
and go and do it in the dark in the open.
226
633270
2820
da u tami obavi nuždu na otvorenom.
10:48
And she was scared. She was scared of drunks hanging around.
227
636090
2070
Bojala se pijanaca koji su se muvali tamo,
10:50
She was scared of snakes. She was scared of rape.
228
638160
2874
bojala se zmija. Da ne bude silovana.
10:53
After three days, she did an unthinkable thing.
229
641034
2482
Nakon 3 dana učinila je nešto nezamislivo.
10:55
She left.
230
643516
1740
Otišla je.
10:57
And if you know anything about rural India,
231
645256
1585
Ako znate išta o ruralnoj Indiji,
10:58
you'll know that's an unspeakably courageous thing to do.
232
646841
3478
znate da je to nevjerojatno hrabro.
11:02
But not just that.
233
650319
1057
Ali tu nije kraj.
11:03
She got her toilet, and now she goes around
234
651376
2412
Dobila je svoj zahod i sada ide po
11:05
all the other villages in India
235
653788
1598
drugim selima u Indiji i
11:07
persuading other women to do the same thing.
236
655386
1753
nagovara druge žene da učine isto.
11:09
It's what I call social contagion, and it's really powerful
237
657139
3461
To zovem društvena zaraza i jako je moćna
11:12
and really exciting.
238
660600
2175
i jako uzbudljiva.
11:14
Another version of this, another village in India
239
662775
2089
Još jedna inačica ovoga, još jedno selo
11:16
near where Priyanka lives
240
664864
1997
blizu onoga gdje Priyanka živi je
11:18
is this village, called Lakara, and about a year ago,
241
666861
3875
Lakara i otprilike prije godinu dana
11:22
it had no toilets whatsoever.
242
670736
1451
tu uopće nije bilo zahoda.
11:24
Kids were dying of diarrhea and cholera.
243
672187
2294
Djeca su umirala od proljeva i kolere.
11:26
Some visitors came, using various behavioral change tricks
244
674481
4342
Došli su neki posjetitelji i pomoću
trikova za promjenu ponašanja
trikova za promjenu ponašanja
11:30
like putting out a plate of food and a plate of shit
245
678823
2794
kao što su promatranje muha koje lete od
11:33
and watching the flies go one to the other.
246
681617
2217
tanjura s hranom do onoga s izmetom
11:35
Somehow, people who'd been thinking
247
683834
2567
ljudi koji nisu mislili da rade nešto
11:38
that what they were doing was not disgusting at all
248
686401
1529
odvratno odjednom su shvatili
11:39
suddenly thought, "Oops."
249
687930
1872
da zapravo rade.
11:41
Not only that, but they were ingesting their neighbors' shit.
250
689802
2327
Također su unosili u sebe i govna susjeda.
11:44
That's what really made them change their behavior.
251
692129
3128
A to i je promijenilo njihovo ponašanje.
11:47
So this woman, this boy's mother
252
695257
2536
Tako je ova žena, majka dječaka
11:49
installed this latrine in a few hours.
253
697793
2485
napravila nužnik za par sati.
11:52
Her entire life, she'd been using the banana field behind,
254
700278
2383
Čitav je život koristila plantažu banana,
11:54
but she installed the latrine in a few hours.
255
702661
1568
a nužnik je bio gotov u par sati.
11:56
It cost nothing. It's going to save that boy's life.
256
704229
3673
Ništa nije stajao, a spasit će joj sina.
11:59
So when I get despondent about the state of sanitation,
257
707902
3191
Kad sam potištena zbog sanitarnih uvjeta,
12:03
even though these are pretty exciting times
258
711093
2196
iako su dobra vremena jer imamo
12:05
because we've got the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
259
713289
2578
Zakladu Billa i Melinde Gates koja
12:07
reinventing the toilet, which is great,
260
715867
2062
obnavlja ideju zahoda i to je super,
12:09
we've got Matt Damon going on bathroom strike,
261
717929
2554
imamo Matta Damona u zahodskom štrajku
12:12
which is great for humanity, very bad for his colon.
262
720483
3735
koji je super za čovječanstvo, ali je
jako loš za njegovo debelo crijevo.
jako loš za njegovo debelo crijevo.
12:16
But there are things to worry about.
263
724218
1714
Ali ima tu i razloga za brigu.
12:17
It's the most off-track Millennium Development Goal.
264
725932
2758
Radi se o najzapuštenijem
milenijskom razvojnom cilju.
milenijskom razvojnom cilju.
12:20
It's about 50 or so years off track.
265
728690
2346
Kasni pedesetak godina.
12:23
We're not going to meet targets,
266
731036
1336
Nećemo postići ciljeve
12:24
providing people with sanitation at this rate.
267
732372
3285
i svima osigurati sanitarne uvjete
ako nastavimo ovim tempom.
ako nastavimo ovim tempom.
12:27
So when I get sad about sanitation,
268
735657
3481
Kad se rastužim zbog sanitarnih uvjeta,
12:31
I think of Japan, because Japan 70 years ago
269
739138
3319
sjetim se Japana gdje su ljudi još prije
12:34
was a nation of people who used pit latrines
270
742457
2589
70 godina koristili vanjske zahode
12:37
and wiped with sticks,
271
745046
2132
i brisali se štapovima,
12:39
and now it's a nation of what are called Woshurettos,
272
747178
3327
a sada je to zemlja zahoda Woshuretto,
12:42
washlet toilets.
273
750505
1480
japanskih elektroničkih zahoda.
12:43
They have in-built bidet nozzles for a lovely,
274
751985
2344
Imaju ugrađene bide mlaznice za divno
12:46
hands-free cleaning experience,
275
754329
2745
čišćenje bez ruku,
12:49
and they have various other features
276
757074
2172
a imaju i druge značajke
12:51
like a heated seat and an automatic lid-raising device
277
759246
2975
kao grijano sjedalo i automatsko
podizanje zahodske daske,
podizanje zahodske daske,
12:54
which is known as the "marriage-saver."
278
762221
2341
poznato i kao "spasitelj brakova".
12:56
(Laughter)
279
764562
1456
(Smijeh)
12:58
But most importantly, what they have done in Japan,
280
766018
2405
Ali ono najvažnije u Japanu,
13:00
which I find so inspirational,
281
768423
1500
a što nadahnjuje,
13:01
is they've brought the toilet out from behind the locked door.
282
769923
2564
jest to da je tema zahoda prihvatljiva.
13:04
They've made it conversational.
283
772487
1501
O tome se razgovara.
13:05
People go out and upgrade their toilet.
284
773988
3402
Ljudi nadograđuju svoje zahode,
13:09
They talk about it. They've sanitized it.
285
777390
4408
razgovaraju o tome, očistili su ih.
13:13
I hope that we can do that. It's not a difficult thing to do.
286
781798
4480
Nadam se da ćemo i mi. Nije teško.
13:18
All we really need to do
287
786278
2270
Sve što trebamo napraviti
13:20

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Rose George - Curious journalistRose George looks deeply into topics that are unseen but fundamental, whether that's sewers or latrines or massive container ships or pirate hostages or menstrual hygiene.
Why you should listen
Rose George thinks, researches, writes and talks about the hidden, the undiscussed. Among the everyone-does-it-no-one-talks-about-it issues she's explored in books and articles: sanitation (and poop in general). Diarrhea is a weapon of mass destruction, says the UK-based journalist and author, and a lack of access to toilets is at the root of our biggest public health crisis. In 2012, two out of five of the world’s population had nowhere sanitary to go.
The key to turning around this problem, says George: Let’s drop the pretense of “water-related diseases” and call out the cause of myriad afflictions around the world as what they are -- “poop-related diseases” that are preventable with a basic toilet. George explores the problem in her book The Big Necessity: The Unmentionable World of Human Waste and Why It Matters and in a fabulous special issue of Colors magazine called "Shit: A Survival Guide." Read a sample chapter of The Big Necessity >>
Her latest book, on an equally hidden world that touches almost everything we do, is Ninety Percent of Everything: Inside Shipping, the Invisible Industry That Puts Clothes on Your Back, Gas in Your Car, Food on Your Plate. Read a review >>
In the UK and elsewhere, you'll find the book titled Deep Sea and Foreign Going: Inside Shipping, the Invisible Industry the Brings You 90% of Everything.
