Proofing me against landslides and how an organization in mumbai is helping indian women to break free from menstruation taboos. Lets zoom in on an issue that has a deep impact on our marine life also when fishermen abandon their fishing nets in the ocean their drac to the board to entangling fish dolphin sea turtles and many other creatures in them im able to release them so they die from starvation infection and sometimes even suffocation one organization in the Southern City of for the charity is trying to change this and create a safe ecosystem for the marine life in its surrounding seize. It. Fishing nets one of the most essential positions a fisherman are now proving to be their biggest enemy. Which is not biodegradable these nets attached to large strollers are relatively recent departure from the more Sustainable Practices of traditional fishing dragged along the ocean to catch everything in their path. If it was struck and also if you need to damage the court or to break the cord is it damaging to what is clearly very hard to try to pull in 8. What did they cut the need for that. On the bottom of the. Kilometers that depends on. Its destroying the entier. The better it did on. These dive out of in the s. B. Hes trying to clear the waters off to the charity of these ghost nets which are discarded abandoned almost by fishermen. Out of even that is quite the local you doing put a charity in 22 and he stumbled upon an undersea wall with an exquisite marine ecosystem of its own during an x. 33 die 40 kilometers away from the shore. Out of inns whorl as it came to be called was in dire need of help. When we thought that was the 1st i thought with a big net lang down and a top of the tree and like millions infected but didnt know what wed do escape their pathetic brain say some of my few futures are dead you of course are lying on that i was all about to die so when thats when i found the one that is the mean i thought would there be a really big machine that. You could declare a base to clean that grossman. Out of him that his team of diverse today remove large quantities of course notes from the ocean bed every time they go diving. Nets account for a 10 percent reduction in fishing catch. Even then local fisherman have needed a lot of convincing to change how they do their business. To get better than that it will go to me at. The bottom but. That would have been one of them would have been out on the water out about it and worried about any man that when we started diving in that area. And it really did have no doubt. Both of you guys we got our dive and there was a reason any other. We tried to explain later for like 11 of our fears to interact with the fisherman how the dye was helping to grow the fish like. We can tell them to ok dont use this net dont use dot net dont do line fishing we cant say that we had to educate them so if you did a kid them then they would understand oh we can you dismiss it because we use his net he was damages we have these days weve had damage because i didnt want any fish in future all division go away with theirs and theirs and we cant get any money to the fish thats so thats what id read to protect them. One such fisherman who was in nam a buyout of ins work is this up. Coming from a family that has nontraditional fishing as the only way of life these are as hes called is reluctantly but resolutely moving away from practices. There are very few fish left in the sea because of strollers and mechanized boats cleaning it out. We dont even have money to buy nets forget competing. These are trained as a scuba diver and now worked as a captain with out of in stempel adventures which conducts dives for scuba enthusiasts. But. Since i started scuba i dont feel like fishing because i get to see them underwater and feel i shouldnt be killing them i also go into the water and see them look so beautiful now there are almost no fish left. And i just work as a captain when its good i can educate my children from the decent salary that i wouldnt get from fishing. And we are able to sustain ourselves now as. They saw in fisherman like came out also helping out of and improve the marine ecosystem along the coast. This means carrying large rocks to the sea to fortify the artificial reefs theyve been together. We try to 18200 kids before. Many reef may think we need that 20. 1 to 24 reefs. Be creative. Unbelievable for slow people in this ne live in that area all the personnel doing for their rocky places to rock music like 15000 women having to do a languishing or need to towel like a condom are needed to have a little fire that have a knot in pointy to know everybody you can rely. On i mean stempel adventures which is funded mainly on the diapers and training it conducts is a prime example of going beyond ones call of duty. And the main concern is it individual responsibility its not ok were not made for when augmentation live and. In a big why you need to wait for that you could arguably you want to. Pick up like 5 people in the same village if your family youre playing for youre going to play in a league same time spent like 20 minutes between some youre right if you take it off your own media if even if you do that that you fear the worst because of that you know why theyre watching pollution thats my daughter. Its changed me because like a lot of me and were making sure we still have a winning chance at a Sustainable Future shifting focus now to me bring me pot torrential rains in the country have become more and more common often attribute it to Climate Change the next link in what is seemingly a domino effect is an avoidable landslides wreaking havoc in the lives of people but one need to variety of cross is proving to be the new hope for this problem lets take a look. Once again the rain is to wrench bringing back memories of how a year ago an avalanche of mud and rocks thundered down this very slope. Theres not much left of farmer come out julies grandmothers house and his son could be are here to pay their respects to her she was killed in her sleep by the mudslide. C. Love move on whats he can with me i know. He said me or what have been my dad were going to live in this is yet we go from we live this is the very end. But they did stay like the other residents of the village of simponi. Lost his fields fortunately he also has a position as a teacher so you can support his mother and the rest of the family. At the foot of the mountain lies the village of done to cofound. Here the damage from the mudslide was especially severe 9 people lost their lives. A country in the shadow of the himalayas nepal is prone to earthquakes and landslides in 2015 it was hit by a particularly disastrous earthquake the risk of landslides rises even more during the monsoon season. Workers for the International Union for the conservation of nature like agronomist cari are trying to mitigate the threat with an research. Its a tall fast growing indigenous plant also known as broome grass its roots help keep soil in place. It for a while directly and they told so not one day to hold this one. User and the dogs at sego want to speed in this will be idea. The secret lies in the clients web like network of routes. That of it is small goods leggo a small thing we scan fine it is really into this well that means and if it has it like that of the netbook could lego made work like this and it kept it like that all are just but i did this while and it just all of those life into the net. About 2 hours outside nepals 2nd largest city takara lies the village of saturn caught in the past landslides were common here. They swept down this steep slope destroying fields and threatening low lying areas and the village broom grass was planted to try to improve this situation and its already helped. Additionally a drainage canal was built it takes up some of the floodwater reduces the force of the torrents and diverts the water into the fields the village has become a safer place to live. And it has an additional source of income and resale can be used to make brooms farmer John Newcombe bought all sells them and has been able to increase our income by 20 percent. Our odd roundabout number of them there i mean theyre on about the thought of that and then if i want to and extra money as a farmer i have to work very hard for it. But with im resave its faster and more pleasant and it is quite a good feeling when about a building. Also burns the armory so to heat her home and cook and its leaves provide good fodder for her livestock feed here. But can broom grass also prevent major landslides and going to cofound where 9 people died theyve built walls at the foot of the smoke. Theyre meant to break the force of mud and rock slides before they reach the village. Body cari and the villagers are no looking for a solution for upslope areas the damage is still visible here to really make a difference trees have to be planted and the banks of the river secured. The plunder of the landslide that is not any magic farmer yet that means that we are not a 100 percent pure. Landslide if we planned on this earth it wouldnt look for to while im back in the early strongly that means it can be the little bit high powered off. Higher up the villagers are now planting them research the plant even grows in the eroded soil of the landslide area helping in correct. Way inside is down and so i will get. The we cannot stay in place so i miss or are broke so young and then all the members of the family. Density. Once again torrents are rushing down the mountain and the reso wont offer any real protection for another year or 2 until then the villagers just have to hope that the disaster of 2015 wont be repeated. In mississippi is indeed the mother of invention lets now look at a story where a Womens Organization in mumbai took it upon itself to shackle the top of menstruation and see no to an age order and hygiene a practice how do they achieve this lets find out. This local sanitary pad manufacturing unit set up in a slum redeveloped colony in shivaji i got in mumbai has been diligently working toward starting a movement. Established under the foundation it employs local women trains them in manufacturing low cost high quality sanitary products and sells them door to door across slum communities in mumbai. But the motivation behind this initiative is not in making profits it is in educating people on Menstrual Health hygiene and sanitation and most significantly in changing mindsets. Asked arching point was to ensure that every woman wears a pad but pads and periods for generations these have been taboo subjects that no one wants to openly discuss when we started on our mission we had no idea how difficult it would be on the field. People would be reluctant to listen to us even after a year we had no success but we kept going door to door. Almost 90 percent women living in slum areas traditionally use cloth instead of sanitary pads unaware of the risks involved in following unhygenic menstrual practices. We explained to them that they should use pads instead of cloth if they want to avoid infections. Be maddeningly have. The biggest challenge for an Initiative Like the my now my Love Foundation however has been encouraging people to talk openly about menstruation but the sales and Distribution Team also responsible for spreading awareness amongst potential customers admit that they have come a long way. When i started out i myself used to feel embarrassed the response from people wasnt encouraging i that they would ask me how i could talk about these things husbands and fathers inlaws would show up mistaking us for sales women and telling us to move on. But theres been a lot of change over time and weve managed to convert many women from using cloth to sanitary napkins. Out of the 10 people we talked to at least 5 get convinced. What started with a group of just 5 women today employs more than 20. I mean. Weve employed women from the community itself there were no criteria for being educated or for being a for certain age these were women who felt stifled because they were not allowed to leave their homes when they finally got the opportunity to leave their homes there was a sense of relief and happiness thats when we also realize that most of these women what an educated and thats where most problems arose from we then started teaching programs. I mean carl if they do now why lets say. When i joined i was sure i wouldnt be able to work here i felt embarrassed thats one so honey explain to me that here i would only be working but also learning a lot of things and thats just what happened. To my mouth team here it is not just into production we also provide education selfdefense classes and Skill Development sessions one day in a week has been kept aside for our. But he won. As one of the few grassroots organizations working single handedly towards empowering women in slum areas the my now my Love Foundation has been receiving donations and attracting volunteers from across the world but this team of jane makers feels their journey has only just begun. Now lets do it movement started in is the one year in 2008 when 50000. 00 people came together and cleaned up the entire country in 5 hours since then the initiative has grown into a Global Operation and engaged 20000000 environmentally savvy while indias around the world whether this movement go from here and what are the big learnings in the last 10 years of volunteer whos been with the Initiative Since the beginning weeks this stuff. Crush trash dr rice to class to class to class to class to class tomorrow where were either carving that number ever to. The lets do it movement brings together people from around the world to clean up their countries on socalled clean up day. This civic led Fast Movement began in estonia in 2008 when 50000 people gathered to collect waste across the country. In just 5 hours they picked up 10000. 00 tonnes of illegal trash. From the estonian capital tallent has been part of the core team from the outset. Im really happy that through this movement we have given people back the understanding that they have power to change things it doesnt have to be organizing a worldwide cleanup for a country like tina it can just be the power of making a little bit different decisions every day because. Your friends will know it defend them they will know it its the most important change you can inflict on the world changing yourself. Since then the donations funded movement are spread around the world. The Global Network has engaged a total of more than 35000000 volunteers since its launch in around 160 countries problem easy thing to manage. Mostly when the clean ups are organized you need a lot of people working together they are very very often spread all around the country but they need to Work Together in a very synchronized way so we must. Use their knowledge sheet to to assess the problem to plan the action and to communicate with each other its crucial otherwise you couldnt done it you couldnt do it in such a large scale. The launch of the waste mopping up mark to model stone in the projects progress that allows volunteers to locate trash pictures another day to mark the type or size of the watched it makes coordinating volunteers an easier task. The team is also developed the world waste platform which provides an overview of the worst situation of the whole planet a Global Market for a global movement. Its always kind of highlights when you see people working in a very Critical Situations there were people conducting cleanups in warsaw as in conflict zones there were people conducting cleanups in 2018 during hurricanes and cyclons if you see this kind of human bravery and will to make it happen despite of the circumstances thats really humbling and aspiring. And waste gets everywhere as these project participants in taiwan demonstrated. Some other teams are facing other challenges for example in india. With 240000000. 00 tonnes per year it produces more waste than any other country on the planet. Jim sherman is the regional coordinator for india the u. S. And oceania hes well aware that india only recycles 10 percent of the waste that it produces. Theres just not the infrastructure that you would want there to be its very fragmented in a country that size and obviously with a large rural population is difficult to put a recycling scheme in so that you want to because challenge is what to do with all the waste even when you collect it. For the lets do it movement cleaning up is just the 1st step on a long road keeping the world clean is the next part of the journey we call it keep it clean plan which is set off i think of it is our steps we can take in in different sectors in each country so figuring out together with all those people involved through the movement through the working up day how we can inflect changes in our policies how we can educate ourselves our kids grown ups how to make better choices every day. To know on her fellow activists know that small steps can lead to big change. I hope you had many takeaways from todays show well be back next week with many more Inspiring Stories from across india in europe each one taking us one step closer to a Sustainable Future good bye and have a wonderful week.
