Chiến dịch Swachh Bharat do Thủ tướng Narendra Modi phát động năm 2014 đặt mục tiêu chấm dứt tình trạng đại tiện ngoài trời tại Ấn Độ. Với hơn 110 triệu nhà vệ sinh được xây dựng và tuyên bố “không còn tình trạng đại tiện ngoài trời” vào năm 2019, liệu chương trình này có thực sự thành công? Những rào cản về văn hóa, tôn giáo và bất cập trong bảo trì đang đặt ra câu hỏi lớn về tính bền vững của chiến dịch này. Để nói về vấn đề đi vệ sinh ngoài trời ở Ấn Độ, nhiều chuyên gia nghiên cứu về vệ sinh trích lại câu nói của Ganhdi : “Vệ sinh còn quan trọng hơn cả độc lập”. Từ nhiều thế kỷ qua, Ấn Độ được coi là một trong những quốc gia mà tỷ lệ người dân đi vệ sinh ngoài trời cao nhất thế giới. Vào năm 2014, khoảng 40 % dân số Ấn Độ đi vệ sinh ở ngoài trời, tương đương với hơn nửa tỷ người. Thời điểm đó, nhiều ngôi nhà, trường học hay các hạ tầng được xây dựng mà không có nhà vệ sinh. Tình trạng này chủ yếu xảy ra tại các khu vực nông thôn (65%). Điều này không chỉ ảnh hưởng đến sức khỏe cộng đồng, làm gia tăng các bệnh truyền nhiễm như tiêu chảy, tả, và viêm gan A, mà còn gây tổn thất kinh tế lớn, được ước tính lên tới 6% GDP của Ấn Độ (World Bank, 2014). Hệ thống vệ sinh kém còn làm trầm trọng hơn tình trạng bất bình đẳng giới, khi nhiều khu vực có nhà vệ sinh chỉ dành riêng cho nam giới, khiến phụ nữ và trẻ em gái phải đối mặt với nguy cơ bị quấy rối hoặc tấn công khi đi vệ sinh ngoài trời vào ban đêm. Để giải quyết tình trạng này, thủ tướng Ấn Độ Narendra Modi đã phát động chiến dịch đầy tham vọng Swachh Bharat (Ấn Độ sạch) vào năm 2014, để cải thiện vệ sinh và xóa bỏ tình trạng đại tiện ngoài trời tại Ấn Độ trong vòng 5 năm. Chương trình đã thúc đẩy việc xây dựng và sử dụng lâu dài cho tất cả các thành viên trong hộ gia đình, cũng như khởi xướng các dự án Quản lý chất thải rắn và lỏng (SLWM) tại nhiều ngôi làng của đất nước. Chương trình cũng tập trung vào can thiệp thay đổi hành vi, nhận thức của người dân có tính đến văn hóa, tập quán, và nhu cầu của địa phương. Trong tuyên bố ngày 2 tháng 10 năm 2019, nhân kỷ niệm 150 năm ngày sinh của Gandhi, thủ tướng Ấn Độ Modi khẳng định không còn tình trạng đại tiện ngoài trời (ODF). « Trong 60 tháng, 600 triệu người đã được tiếp cận nhà vệ sinh, hơn 110 triệu nhà vệ sinh đã được xây dựng. » Theo Bộ Nước và Vệ sinh Ấn Độ (Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation, 2019), trong 5 năm, 600 triệu người được tiếp cận nhà vệ sinh. Toàn bộ 36 bang và vùng lãnh thổ của Ấn Độ tuyên bố “không còn tình trạng đại tiện ngoài trời” (ODF – Open Defecation Free) vào năm 2019. Tỷ lệ tiếp cận nhà vệ sinh tăng từ 38% (2014) lên hơn 98% (2019). Tỷ lệ mắc bệnh liên quan đến vệ sinh, đặc biệt là tiêu chảy và bệnh đường ruột cũng giảm đáng kể. Những nhà vệ sinh được xây dựng có thực sự được sử dụng ?  Tuy nhiên, nhiều chuyên gia đặt câu hỏi về tính bền vững và hiệu quả thực tế của những con số này. Một số nghiên cứu chỉ ra rằng một bộ phận người dân vẫn tiếp tục đại tiện ngoài trời ngay cả khi khu vực của họ đã được công nhận là ODF. Nhà nghiên cứu về Ấn Độ Catherine Bros, giảng viên tại đại học Tours trả lời France Culture, cho biết :    Tác động của chương trình mà chính phủ Ấn Độ đưa ra, thường được đánh giá không lâu sau khi các nhà vệ sinh được xây dựng, và vội vàng đưa ra kết luận rằng chương trình này đã thành công. Nhưng trên thực tế, khi quay trở lại nghiệm thu nhiều năm sau đó, người ta có thể thấy rằng vấn đề đối với các nhà vệ sinh được xây dựng đó là bảo trì. Khi chính quyền hoan nghênh việc đã xây dựng được nhiều nhà vệ sinh, cấp nước cho nhiều ngôi làng, nhưng 7, 8 năm sau, khi quay trở lại, những nhà vệ sinh đó đã bị bỏ hoang, không ai dọn dẹp, đường ống thì vỡ hỏng, tắc nghẽn… Đó chính là mặt khuất của chương trình này ». Tại sao những nhà vệ sinh lại không được sử dụng hay bảo trì ? Vấn đề này còn nhiều nguyên nhân sâu sa. Theo nghiên cứu của Diane Coffey, nhà nhân khẩu học tại đại học Texas, chuyên nghiên cứu về tình trạng vệ sinh ở Ấn Độ, nguyên do đầu tiên là yếu tố văn hoá. Tại nhiều khu vực nông thôn ở Ấn Độ, phân được coi là nguồn gây ô nhiễm chính. Đạo Hin Đu được nhiều người Ấn tin theo, đưa ra những khái niệm về sự thanh tịnh (shuddhata) và sự ô uế (ashuddhata). Việc để phân gần nhà, thậm chí ngay cả trong bể phốt, cũng bị coi là làm ô uế không gian sinh hoạt. Tín ngưỡng này khiến nhiều người muốn đi đại tiện ở ngoài trời, xa nhà, để giữ môi trường xung quanh trong sạch, thanh tịnh. Trong các ngôi nhà tại Ấn Độ thường có khu vực thờ cúng cho tổ tiên và các vị thần. Việc có nhà vệ sinh ở gần được coi là hành động báng bổ, thiếu tôn trọng thần linh. Hệ thống phân cấp bậc xã hội vẫn nặng nề trong xã hội Ấn Tại Ấn Độ, xã hội vẫn bị chia rẽ, phân cấp, dựa trên xuất thân và nghề nghiệp. Yếu tố này cũng có vai trò quan trọng trong nhận thức về vệ sinh và chăm sóc sức khỏe. Cụ thể, xã hội Ấn Độ được chia làm bốn đẳng cấp (Varnas) : Brahmanes - Các thầy tu, trí thức, người dạy học; Kshatriyas - Các chiến binh, nhà lãnh đạo; Vaishyas - Các thương nhân, thợ thủ công; Shudras - Những người lao động, phục vụ. Ngoài 4 nhóm này, là các Dalit (tiện dân), còn được gọi là những “Không thể chạm vào”, được giao những công việc bị coi là “ô uế”, bao gồm công việc dọn dẹp nhà vệ sinh và xử lý chất thải con người. Mặc dù Hiến Pháp Ấn Độ năm 1950, đã huỷ bỏ việc phân tầng giai cấp, nhưng những người Dalit, vẫn tiếp tục bị phân biệt đối xử, coi là những người dưới đáy xã hội. Trong tâm thức của nhiều người Ấn, việc lắp đặt nhà vệ sinh ở trong nhà có nghĩa là cần phải dọn dẹp, và công việc này bị coi là việc hạ đi phẩm giá của những người thuộc tầng lớp cao hơn. Nhiều người từ chối sử dụng nhà vệ sinh, để tránh bị gắn với hình ảnh người Dalit và những người dọn dẹp vệ sinh. Các nhà nghiên cứu cũng nêu ra những thói quen đã hình thành từ nhiều thế hệ. Một số người thích đi đại tiện ngoài trời vì thói quen lâu đời và cảm giác thoải mái. Nhiều người không muốn đi đại tiện trong một không gian hẹp, đặc biệt là đối với những người lớn lên với thói quen đó, thì đi đại tiện ở ngoài tự nhiên “thoáng gió”, không có mùi hôi, thường được coi là ưu điểm so với nhà vệ sinh kín. Chính phủ Ấn Độ đã chi khoảng 28 tỷ đô la cho chương trình Ấn Độ Sạch từ hơn chục năm qua, nhưng Marie-Hélène Zerah chuyên gia về Ấn Độ tại đại học Paris-Cité, trả lời đài phát thanh Pháp, giải thích thêm về những bất cập của chương trình này : « Có những nhà vệ sinh được xây dựng, nhưng lại được sử dụng cho mục đích khác, ví dụ như trở thành nơi chứa đồ. Những gia đình nhận được hỗ trợ tài chính để xây dựng nhà vệ sinh, nhưng lại xây một gian khác và tiếp tục hành vi đại tiện ở ngoài trời như truyền thống. Đó mà vấn đề đầu tiên. Thêm vào đó và tình trạng phân biệt đối xử đối với các gia cấp xã hội vẫn duy trì. Một số nhóm người không được phép sử dụng nhà vệ sinh công cộng, ngay cả trong thành phố. Vấn đề thứ ba là việc đông dân, ngay cả trong những ngôi làng, nên khó có thể xây dựng nhà vệ sinh ở khắp mọi nơi. Thêm vào đó, chính phủ đã chi rất nhiều vào đầu tư xây dựng hạ tầng, nhưng những công trình đó lại không đảm bảo chất lượng. Vấn đề quan trọng để thay đổi nhận thức về văn hóa xã hội, thì lại không được chú trọng. »   Nhiều nghiên cứu, trong đó có học giả Anisha Gupta, đã chỉ ra tình trạng thiếu nhận thức về lợi ích sức khỏe của việc sử dụng nhà vệ sinh. Một số người không biết về mối liên hệ giữa việc đại tiện ngoài trời và sự lây lan các bệnh lây truyền qua đường nước như tiêu chảy hoặc dịch tả. Một số khác thậm chí còn cho rằng có nhà xí sẽ tạo ra khí ga độc hại, gây bệnh. Và các chương trình tuyên truyền thúc đẩy việc sử dụng nhà vệ sinh lại không đề cập đến yếu tố tín ngưỡng văn hóa. Với hơn 10 năm nghiên cứu về vấn đề vệ sinh ở Ấn Độ, nhà nghiên cứu Anisha Gupta trả lời RFI Tiếng Việt bày tỏ quan ngại : “Hiện đã là năm 2025, trong khi chính phủ Ấn Độ đã thông báo chấm dứt tình trạng vệ sinh ngoài trời. Chương trình làm sạch Ấn Độ  nói trên đã chấm dứt, và không còn các hoạt động xây dựng nhà vệ sinh hoặc tuyên truyền phổ biến kiến thức. Do đó tôi e sợ rằng những nhà vệ sinh do chính phủ xây dựng sẽ sớm xuống cấp, không được bảo trì, hoặc không được sử dụng và tình trạng đi vệ sinh ngoài trời vẫn tiếp diễn. Chúng tôi hiện không có nhiều dữ liệu về vấn đề này, nên khó có thể biết chuyện gì đang xảy ra”. Trong nghiên cứu của mình, Anisha Gupta kết luận rằng sự thay đổi hành vi không thể áp đặt bằng biện pháp kỹ thuật hay tuyên truyền ngắn hạn, mà cần chuyển đổi nhận thức sâu về “sạch sẽ” trong khuôn khổ tôn giáo và đẳng cấp. Chỉ khi đó, các chương trình vệ sinh mới đạt được tính bền vững thực sự.

A drinking water contamination scare has shut down several Waikato schools on what was supposed to be the first day back after the holidays. On Saturday the Rototuna Reservoir tested positive for ecoli, it supplies about 12,000 properties in North East Hamilton, Gordonton and Puketaha in Waikato District. About 30,000 residents have been told to boil tap water before using it for cooking, drinking, preparing baby formula or cleaning their teeth. Hamilton City Council's Three Waters unit director Maire Porter spoke to Lisa Owen.

Yet Americans buy 50 billion single-use plastic water bottles annually—enough to circle the Earth 200 times if laid end to end. The bottles take 450 years to decompose, and recent research found that a single liter of bottled water can shed up to 240,000 pieces of microplastic that we ultimately consume. Meanwhile, 37% of global drinking water remains contaminated, with PFAS "forever chemicals" and lead appearing even in neighboring homes on the same street. Meet Scott Clawson, Chairman and CEO of Culligan International, the nearly 90-year-old company that's become the global leader in water services by making filtered water more accessible than single-use plastic. Under Clawson's leadership, Culligan serves 170 million people worldwide, and the company's filtration systems have helped avoid the use of 45 billion plastic bottles annually. The company has set ambitious targets: achieving net positive water impact by 2050 and cutting scope one and two emissions intensity by 40% before 2035. After completing WAVE water stewardship verification, Culligan discovered that even testing filtration equipment was wasteful, leading the company to develop dry-testing methods that eliminate water waste before machines reach consumers. The company has electrified 25% of its fleet and donated 9 million liters of water to communities in need in 2024 alone. Clawson's approach to sustainability isn't just operational—it's personal.A decade ago, while vacationing in the Bahamas, he encountered a beach covered in plastic waste. "That's when my inner balance was sparked to make sure we do more than just use our planet to make money, but let's use our planet to help it be a better place to live," he recalls. As water scarcity intensifies globally, Clawson believes the consumer holds the power: "Every time you pick something up off the shelf, you are voting. You're sending a signal to a company." His message is clear—test your water, understand what's in it, and invest in point-of-use filtration rather than contributing to the plastic crisis.You can learn more about Culligan International at culliganinternational.com.Subscribe to Sustainability In Your Ear on iTunescFollow Sustainability In Your Ear on Spreaker, iHeartRadio, or YouTube

Welcome back to The Round Table! This week, our hosts Kassandra and Preena are joined by Shennell McCloud, a visionary leader redefining civic engagement. Together, they dive into a conversation that bridges two worlds we rarely talk about together: wellness and infrastructure and how their intersection is essential to building lasting justice. Too often, civic leadership is measured by rallies, votes, and policy wins. But what about the systems that support the people doing the work?What if true, sustainable change means protecting not just rights, but rest? Not just momentum, but mental health? In this episode, we explore why burnout and overwork are not sustainable models for engagement and how movements can thrive when wellness is treated as a core part of organizing.We also examine how neglecting mental health and community care weakens civic infrastructure. From physical spaces to digital platforms like The Sanctuary, we spotlight ways to intentionally build systems of care that fuel resilience and action.Shennell's work offers powerful insight into what it means to build structures that support both freedom and function, especially in communities that have been over extracted and under-resourced for generations. Together, this conversation reminds us that justice work isn't just about fighting back, it's also about building up, and that starts with caring for ourselves and each other.Thanks For Listening!

Water scarcity is a huge global issue. More than 2 billion people lack access to safe drinking water, a situation set to worsen due to climate change, which fuels longer and more severe drought. As reservoirs shrink, groundwater dries up and rainy seasons become more erratic, some believe one answer to this crisis lies in the reservoirs of moisture in our skies.

New EPA data shows PFAS, short for per-and polyfluroalkyl, is showing up in 200 more drinking systems nationwide, including in Durham and Fayetteville. Those chemicals, known as "forever chemicals" because of how hard they are to break down, can cause health issues. WRAL Climate Change Reporter Liz McLaughlin digs into how utilities are responding and if their efforts are paying off. 

Illinois has been a leader in the data center boom, with more than 220 across the state. However, those centers use up tons of water, often from the same sources that local communities rely on for drinking water. Advocates that work to protect the Great Lakes (and local drinking water) are raising the alarm on the burden this could put on Illinois municipalities in the short and long term.

Hydration alone won't save your race; unless you master the science behind it, you're probably doing it wrong.Most runners think they know how to hydrate and fuel, but they're making critical mistakes that destroy their performance when it matters most. In this episode, I'm breaking down the exact hydration and fueling strategies that will help you avoid cramping, gut issues, and those dreaded mid-race bathroom emergencies. You'll learn why drinking more water can actually hurt your performance, when energy gels are worth the money (and when they're not), and my proven race-day timing system that eliminates porta potty anxiety forever. Importantly, you'll understand how your body actually processes fluids and fuel so you can show up on race day feeling confident and prepared.Key TakeawaysHydration isn't just about drinking water—getting your electrolytes right matters just as much, especially in long or hot runs.Overhydrating can mess you up just as badly as dehydration by flushing out the sodium your body needs.Energy gels work best when timed right. Use them after 45-90 minutes of running to avoid hitting the wall, but test different brands to find what doesn't upset your stomach.Timestamps[00:15] What You'll Learn[01:12] Hydration Strategies[02:26] Electrolytes Hydration Balance[04:00] Why Hydration Is So Important[04:54] No Pee Race Day Hydration Strategy[06:08] Use This To Hydrate Smarter[07:08] Energy Gels Explained[08:24] How To Use Gels The Right Way[09:41] Why Are Gels So Important For Runners[10:25] Finish Line ThoughtsLinks & Learnings

Several communities in Oregon have bought portions of their surrounding forests to more directly manage their natural resources. The “community forest” model has been used to manage for wildfire risk, drinking water quality, recreation and more. The Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board recently awarded grants to six cities to protect forests around their drinking water sources. The funding allows them to purchase land, arrange for conservation easements and pay back debt on property they’ve already acquired within their watershed.   We’ll hear more from Ann Vileisis, mayor of Port Orford, which received one of the grants. We’ll also learn about community forests more broadly from Dylan Kruse, president of the conservation nonprofit Sustainable Northwest.

My guest is Dr. Staci Whitman, DMD, a board-certified functional dentist for kids and adults. We discuss the critical importance of oral care and the oral microbiome for brain and bodily health. We examine the negative effects of common oral care product ingredients such as alcohol, astringents, and bleaches. We also explore the history and real impact of fluoridated drinking water on oral, bone, and systemic health. Then we discuss healthy, lesser-known solutions for bad breath, canker sores, cavities, and teeth whitening. We cover how teeth can be made to repair their own cavities and the connection between oral health and cardiovascular health, male and female fertility, dementia, and cancer. This episode goes far beyond the best approaches to brushing and flossing and will be a valuable resource for anyone seeking to improve their oral health and appearance at any age.
