Kevin Surace predlaže da ponovno razmislimo o osnovnim građevinskim materijalima -- poput poznatih tapeta -- kako bi smanjili veliki ugljični otisak koji proizvodi izrada i gradnja naših zgrada. On predstavlja EcoRock (Ekostijenu), čist, reciklirajući i energetski učinkoviti suhozid koji je kreirao njegov tim u Serious Materials kompaniji.

What's happening to the climate?
0
0
2000
Što se događa s klimom?
00:20
It is unbelievably bad.
1
2000
2000
Nevjerojatno je loša.
00:22
This is, obviously, that famous view now of the Arctic,
2
4000
3000
Ovo je, očito, onaj poznati pogled s Arktika,
00:25
which is likely to be gone at this point
3
7000
2000
koji će vjerojatno nestati
00:27
in the next three or four or five years. Very, very, very scary.
4
9000
3000
u idućih tri ili četiri ili pet godina. Jako, jako, jako zastrašujuće.
00:30
So we all look at what we can do.
5
12000
2000
Stoga svi gledamo što možemo učiniti.
00:32
And when you look at the worldwide sources of CO2,
6
14000
2000
A kada pogledate svjetske izvore CO2,
00:34
52 percent are tied to buildings.
7
16000
2000
52 posto je vezano uz zgrade.
00:36
Only nine percent is passenger cars, interestingly enough.
8
18000
3000
Zanimljivo, samo devet posto su putnički automobili.
00:39
So we ran off to a sushi bar.
9
21000
2000
Stoga smo odjurili u sushi bar.
00:41
And at that sushi bar we came up with a great idea.
10
23000
2000
I u tom sushi baru smo došli na sjajnu ideju.
00:43
And it was something called EcoRock.
11
25000
2000
I to je bilo nešto zvano EcoRock.
00:45
And we said we could redesign the 115-year-old
12
27000
3000
I rekli smo kako bismo mogli redizajnirati 115 godina star
00:48
gypsum drywall process that generates
13
30000
2000
proces gipsanja zidova, koji proizvodi
00:50
20 billion pounds of CO2 a year.
14
32000
2000
9 milijardi kilograma CO2 na godinu.
00:52
So it was a big idea. We wanted to reduce that by 80 percent,
15
34000
3000
Dakle, bila je to velika ideja. Htjeli smo smanjiti to za 80 posto.
00:55
which is exactly what we've done.
16
37000
2000
Što je upravo ono što smo učinili.
00:57
We started R&D in 2006.
17
39000
2000
Počeli smo s istraživanjem i razvojem 2006. godine.
00:59
Decided to use recycled content from cement
18
41000
2000
Odlučili smo koristiti reciklirani sadržaj iz cementa
01:01
and steel manufacturing.
19
43000
2000
i proizvodnje čelika.
01:03
There is the inside of our lab. We haven't shown this before.
20
45000
2000
Ovo je unutrašnjost našeg laboratorija. Ovo nismo prije prikazali.
01:05
But our people had to do some 5,000
21
47000
3000
Ali naši ljudi su morali napraviti 5.000
01:08
different mixes to get this right, to hit our targets.
22
50000
5000
različitih mješavina kako bi dobili onu pravu, kako bismo dostigli našu metu.
01:13
And they worked absolutely very, very, very hard.
23
55000
2000
I radili su u potpunosti vrlo, vrlo, vrlo naporno.
01:15
So then we went forward and built our production line in China.
24
57000
3000
Zatim smo krenuli naprijed i izgradili smo našu proizvodnu liniju u Kini.
01:18
We don't build this production equipment any longer in the U.S., unfortunately.
25
60000
3000
Više ne izrađujemo ovu proizvodnu opremu u SAD-u, nažalost.
01:21
We did the line install over the summer.
26
63000
2000
Preko ljeto smo postavili liniju.
01:23
We started right there, with absolutely nothing.
27
65000
2000
Počeli smo upravo ondje, bez apsolutno ičega.
01:25
You're seeing for the first time, a brand new drywall production line,
28
67000
4000
Vidite ovo po prvi puta, potpuno novi proces proizvodnje suhozida,
01:29
not made using gypsum at all.
29
71000
2000
koji je napravljen bez korištenja gipsa.
01:31
That's the finished production line there.
30
73000
2000
Ovo je završna proizvodna linija tamo.
01:33
We got our first panel out on December third.
31
75000
2000
Naš prvi panel je proizveden trećeg prosinca.
01:35
That is the slurry being poured onto paper, basically. That's the line running.
32
77000
4000
Ovo je, u biti, emulzija koja se izlijeva na papir. Ovo je linija u pogonu.
01:39
The exciting thing is, look at the faces of the people.
33
81000
3000
Uzbudljiva stvar je, pogledajte lica ljudi.
01:42
These are people who worked this project for two to three years.
34
84000
2000
Ovo su ljudi koji su radili na tom projektu dvije do tri godine.
01:44
And they are so excited. That's the first board off the line.
35
86000
3000
I oni su toliko uzbuđeni. Ovo je prva daska izašla s linije.
01:47
Our Vice President of Operation kissing the board. Obviously very, very excited.
36
89000
4000
Naš potpredsjednik operacija kako ljubi dasku. Očito jako, jako uzbuđen.
01:51
But this has a huge, huge impact on the environment.
37
93000
3000
Ali ovo ima ogroman, ogroman utjecaj na okoliš.
01:54
We signed the first panel just a few weeks after that, had a great signing ceremony,
38
96000
4000
Potpisali smo prvi panel samo nekoliko tjedana nakon toga, imali smo odličnu proslavu povodom toga.
01:58
leading to people hopefully using these products across the world.
39
100000
4000
Što je nadam se vodilo do ljudi koji će koristiti te proizvode diljem svijeta.
02:02
And we've got Cradle-to-Cradle Gold on this thing.
40
104000
2000
I za tu stvar dobili smo zlato "Kolijevka do kolijevke".
02:04
We happened to win, just recently, the Green Product of the Year
41
106000
2000
Nedavno smo pobijedili, na natjecanju za zeleni proizvod godine,
02:06
for "The Re-Invention of Drywall," from Popular Science.
42
108000
3000
za "Ponovni izum suhozida", od Popular Scince-a.
02:09
Thank you. Thank you.
43
111000
2000
Hvala vam. Hvala vam.
02:11
So here is what we learned: 8,000 gallons of gas
44
113000
3000
Ovo je ono što smo naučili. 30.280 litara goriva
02:14
equivalent to build one house.
45
116000
2000
što je ekvivalentno gradnji jedne kuće.
02:16
You probably had no idea. It's like driving around the world six times.
46
118000
2000
Vjerojatno si ne možete zamisliti. To je poput vožnje oko svijeta šest puta.
02:18
We must change everything.
47
120000
2000
Moramo sve promijeniti.
02:20
Look around the room: chairs, wood,
48
122000
3000
Pogledajte okolo po prostoriji, stolice, drvo.
02:23
everything around us has to change or we're not going to lick this problem.
49
125000
3000
Sve oko nas se mora promijeniti ili nećemo zacijeliti taj problem.
02:26
Don't listen to the people who say you can't do this, because anyone can.
50
128000
3000
Nemojte slušati ljude koji govore kako vi to ne možete učiniti, jer svatko može.
02:29
And these job losses, we can fix them with green-collar jobs.
51
131000
3000
A te gubitke poslova, možemo ih riješiti s poslovima zelenih ovratnika.
02:32
We've got four plants. We're building this stuff around the country.
52
134000
2000
Imamo četiri biljke. Gradimo te stvari po cijeloj zemlji.
02:34
We're going as fast as we can.
53
136000
2000
Idemo najbrže što možemo.
02:36
Two and a half million cars worth of gypsum,
54
138000
3000
Gips u vrijednosti od dva i pol milijuna automobila,
02:39
you know, CO2 generated. Right?
55
141000
2000
znate, generiranog CO2. Točno?
02:41
So what will you do? I'll tell you what I did and why I did it. And I know my time's up.
56
143000
3000
Dakle, što ćete učiniti? Reći ću vam što sam ja učinio i zašto sam to učinio. I znam kako mi je vrijeme isteklo.
02:44
Those are my kids, Natalie and David.
57
146000
2000
Ovo su moja djeca, Natalie i David.
02:46
When they have their kids, 2050,
58
148000
2000
Kada budu imala svoju djecu, 2050-te,
02:48
they'd better look back at Grandpa and say,
59
150000
2000
bolje im je da se ugledaju na djeda i kažu,
02:50
"Hey, you gave it a good shot. You did the best you could
60
152000
2000
"Hej, napravio si dobru stvar. Učinio si najbolje što si mogao
02:52
with the team that you had."
61
154000
2000
s timom koji si imao."
02:54
So my hope is that when you leave TED,
62
156000
3000
Nadam se da, kada odete s TED-a,
02:57
you will look at reducing your carbon footprint
63
159000
2000
da ćete gledati kako smanjiti svoj ugljični otisak
02:59
in however you can do it.
64
161000
2000
na koji god način možete.
03:01
And if you don't know how, please find me -- I will help you.
65
163000
3000
A ako ne znate kako, molim vas, pronađite me. Pomoći ću vam.
03:04
Last but not least, Bill Gates, I know you invented Windows.
66
166000
3000
Posljednje, ali ne i najmanje važno, Bill Gates, znam da si izumio Windowse.
03:07
Wait till you see, maybe next year, what kind of windows we've invented.
67
169000
3000
Čekaj samo da vidiš, možda dogodine, kakvu vrstu prozora smo mi izumili.
03:10
Thank you so much.
68
172000
2000
Puno vam hvala.
03:12
(Applause)
