00:18
What's happening to the climate?
0
0
2000
Iqlimga nima bo'lyapdi?
00:20
It is unbelievably bad.
1
2000
2000
Ahvol Ishonib bo'lmaydigan darajada yomon.
00:22
This is, obviously, that famous view now of the Arctic,
2
4000
3000
Bu, aniq, Arktikaning hozirgi mashhur ko'rinishi,
00:25
which is likely to be gone at this point
3
7000
2000
bu ko'rinish, ehtimol, bu holatda
00:27
in the next three or four or five years. Very, very, very scary.
4
9000
3000
keyingi uch, to'rt yoki besh yillarda yo'qoladi. Juda, juda, juda qo'rqinchli.
00:30
So we all look at what we can do.
5
12000
2000
Hammamiz nima qila olishimizni o'ylaymiz.
00:32
And when you look at the worldwide sources of CO2,
6
14000
2000
CO2 ning dunyo bo'yicha manbalariga e'tibor bersangiz,
00:34
52 percent are tied to buildings.
7
16000
2000
52 foizi binolarga bog'langan.
00:36
Only nine percent is passenger cars, interestingly enough.
8
18000
3000
Shunisi qiziqarliki, faqatgina to'qqiz foizi mashinalardir.
00:39
So we ran off to a sushi bar.
9
21000
2000
Biz sushi barga boramiz.
00:41
And at that sushi bar we came up with a great idea.
10
23000
2000
O'sha sushi barda hayolimizga bir ajoyib fikr keladi.
00:43
And it was something called EcoRock.
11
25000
2000
Bu esa EcoRock ( EkoTosh) deb nomlangan narsadir.
00:45
And we said we could redesign the 115-year-old
12
27000
3000
Aytganimizdek, biz 115 yoshli
00:48
gypsum drywall process that generates
13
30000
2000
gipsli kartonni ishlab chiqarishimiz mumkin. Bu esa
00:50
20 billion pounds of CO2 a year.
14
32000
2000
yiliga 20 milliard pound CO2 ishlab chiqaradi.
00:52
So it was a big idea. We wanted to reduce that by 80 percent,
15
34000
3000
Bu katta g'oya edi. Biz buni 20 foizga kamaytirmoqchi edik.
00:55
which is exactly what we've done.
16
37000
2000
Va ayni bu ishni bajardik.
00:57
We started R&D in 2006.
17
39000
2000
2006 yilda R&D ni boshladik.
00:59
Decided to use recycled content from cement
18
41000
2000
Sement va po'lat ishlab chiqarilishidan bo'lgan
01:01
and steel manufacturing.
19
43000
2000
qayta ishlov berilgan mahsulotdan foydalanishga qaror qildik.
01:03
There is the inside of our lab. We haven't shown this before.
20
45000
2000
Bu laboratoriyamizning ichki qismi. Buni avvallari ko'rsatmagandik.
01:05
But our people had to do some 5,000
21
47000
3000
Buni to'g'ri bajarib maqsadimizga erishish uchun, bizning odamlarimiz
01:08
different mixes to get this right, to hit our targets.
22
50000
5000
5000 turli aralashmalarni qilishga to'g'ri keldi.
01:13
And they worked absolutely very, very, very hard.
23
55000
2000
Ular juda, juda ham tirishqoqlik bilan ishladilar.
01:15
So then we went forward and built our production line in China.
24
57000
3000
Hullas, biz Xitoydagi ishlab chiqarish tarmog'imizni qurdik.
01:18
We don't build this production equipment any longer in the U.S., unfortunately.
25
60000
3000
Afsuski, bu ishlab chiqarish asbobini AQSHda bundan buyon qurmaymiz.
01:21
We did the line install over the summer.
26
63000
2000
Yozda esa liniyani o'rnatdik.
01:23
We started right there, with absolutely nothing.
27
65000
2000
Biz ayni mana bu yerda hech narsasiz ish boshladik.
01:25
You're seeing for the first time, a brand new drywall production line,
28
67000
4000
Umuman gipsdan foydalanmgan holda ishlangan
01:29
not made using gypsum at all.
29
71000
2000
juda yangi gipsli karton liniyasini birinchi marta ko'rib turibsiz.
01:31
That's the finished production line there.
30
73000
2000
Ana u tugallangan ishlab chiqarish tarmog'i.
01:33
We got our first panel out on December third.
31
75000
2000
Birinchi panelimizni uchinchi dekabrda oldik.
01:35
That is the slurry being poured onto paper, basically. That's the line running.
32
77000
4000
Qog'ozga quyulayotgan narsa quyuq qorishmadir. Mana bu esa, ishlayotgan tarmoq.
01:39
The exciting thing is, look at the faces of the people.
33
81000
3000
Shunisi ajablanarliki, odamlarni yuziga qaranglar.
01:42
These are people who worked this project for two to three years.
34
84000
2000
Bu odamlar bu proektda ikki-uch yildan beri ishlagan.
01:44
And they are so excited. That's the first board off the line.
35
86000
3000
Ular juda ham hayajonlangan. Shu tarmoqning birinchi kartoni.
01:47
Our Vice President of Operation kissing the board. Obviously very, very excited.
36
89000
4000
Ishlab chiqarish bo'yicha Vise Prezidentimiz kartonni o'payapdi. Juda ham hayajonlangan.
01:51
But this has a huge, huge impact on the environment.
37
93000
3000
Lekin bu atrof muhitga ulkan ta'sir ko'rsatadi.
01:54
We signed the first panel just a few weeks after that, had a great signing ceremony,
38
96000
4000
Biz birinchi panelga bir necha hafta keyin imzo qo'ydik, ajoyib imzo qo'yish tadbirini o'tkazdik.
01:58
leading to people hopefully using these products across the world.
39
100000
4000
Bu mahsulotlarni dunyo bo'yicha odamlar ishlatadi deb umid qilamiz.
02:02
And we've got Cradle-to-Cradle Gold on this thing.
40
104000
2000
Beshikdan to beshikkacha oltin deganni shu narsaga qo'ydik.
02:04
We happened to win, just recently, the Green Product of the Year
41
106000
2000
Yaqinda, biz "Gipsli Kartonni Qayta Ixtiro" qilganimiz uchun Mashhur Ilm-Fan jurnalidan
02:06
for "The Re-Invention of Drywall," from Popular Science.
42
108000
3000
Yilning Yashil Mahsuloti sovrinini yutib oldik.
02:09
Thank you. Thank you.
43
111000
2000
Rahmat. Rahmat.
02:11
So here is what we learned: 8,000 gallons of gas
44
113000
3000
Biz mana buni o'rgandik. Bir uyni qurishga
02:14
equivalent to build one house.
45
116000
2000
8000 gallon (1 gallon - 3.79 litr) yoqilg'iga teng bo'lgan energiya ketadi.
02:16
You probably had no idea. It's like driving around the world six times.
46
118000
2000
Ehtimol, siz bilmagandirsiz. Bu huddi dunyoning atrofidan sakkiz marta mashina haydagandek.
02:18
We must change everything.
47
120000
2000
Biz hamma narsani o'zgartirishimiz shart.
02:20
Look around the room: chairs, wood,
48
122000
3000
Xonaga qarang, stullar, yog'och.
02:23
everything around us has to change or we're not going to lick this problem.
49
125000
3000
Atrofimizdagi hamma narsa o'zgarishi kerak, aks holda bu muammoni yecholmaymiz.
02:26
Don't listen to the people who say you can't do this, because anyone can.
50
128000
3000
Bu ishni bajara olmaysan deganlarni tinglamang, chunki buni hamma bajara oladi.
02:29
And these job losses, we can fix them with green-collar jobs.
51
131000
3000
Ish yo'qotilishlarini esa, atrof muhitni saqalaydigan ishlar bilan tuzatamiz.
02:32
We've got four plants. We're building this stuff around the country.
52
134000
2000
Bizning to'rtta zavodimiz bor. Buni davlat bo'ylab quryapmiz.
02:34
We're going as fast as we can.
53
136000
2000
Iloji boricha tez harakat qilyapmiz.
02:36
Two and a half million cars worth of gypsum,
54
138000
3000
Gipsning qiymatiga teng bo'lgan ikki yarim million
02:39
you know, CO2 generated. Right?
55
141000
2000
mashinalar CO2 ni chiqaradi. To'g'rimi?
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
Ho'p, siz nima qilasiz? Men nima qilishimni va nima uchunligini aytaman. Bilaman, mening vaqtim tugadi.
02:44
Those are my kids, Natalie and David.
57
146000
2000
Bular mening farzandlarim, Natalie va David.
02:46
When they have their kids, 2050,
58
148000
2000
Bularning farzandlari bo'lganida, 2050 yilda,
02:48
they'd better look back at Grandpa and say,
59
150000
2000
ular buvasiga qarab, aytadilar,
02:50
"Hey, you gave it a good shot. You did the best you could
60
152000
2000
"Siz juda yaxshi nishonga oldingiz. Siz guruhingiz bilan
02:52
with the team that you had."
61
154000
2000
qo'lingizdan kelganini bajardingiz."
02:54
So my hope is that when you leave TED,
62
156000
3000
Umidim, TED dan ketganidinglarda,
02:57
you will look at reducing your carbon footprint
63
159000
2000
ilojingiz boricha, karbon izlarini
02:59
in however you can do it.
64
161000
2000
kamaytirishni o'ylaysiz.
03:01
And if you don't know how, please find me -- I will help you.
65
163000
3000
Agar buni qanday amalga oshirishni bilmasangiz, iltimos, meni toping. Men sizga yordam beraman.
03:04
Last but not least, Bill Gates, I know you invented Windows.
66
166000
3000
So'ngi, lekin muhimi, Bill Gates, siz Windowsni ixtiro qildingiz.
03:07
Wait till you see, maybe next year, what kind of windows we've invented.
67
169000
3000
Kuting, ehtimol kelasi yili ko'rarsiz, biz qanday derazalar ixtiro qilganlgimizni.
03:10
Thank you so much.
68
172000
2000
Katta rahmat.
03:12
(Applause)
