And why big change occurs when the power is in the hands of the people im somewhat of a coming to you from mumbai in india more board moving goods are moving out the religious and moving into cities sustaining life on agriculture is becoming difficult with every passing day especially if you live in the hashmi just east of maharashtra but remember what Mahatma Gandhi said the soul of india lies in its religious and in order to transform india its important to transform the villages and local collectable farmers from 15 villages in the region is trying to bring this part to life by empowering the farmers to solve their problems head on. If. This is the district ill be in the mud not about id eaten off my heart. Its known to most as one of the vostro it affected regions in. Battling a bit email water crisis as well as struggling with the highest number of farmers who cite. The order administratively gin of barley is the most affected but the lowest it again rates in the country the average in a gated area in india is 40 percent violent early its a mere 1. 72 percent. Its almost impossible to make a living from agriculture many people here are dispirited and in this position turn to alcohol. But this was partly situation about 3 years ago today the global poli initiative put 15 villages in its forward has managed to 3 right its story. The lead. But surely. The idea was the brainchild of my own gandhi the founder of the initiator was supported by the strength and willpower of all the members of the 15 villages with a collective population of more than 30000. For. The last 3 years have witnessed a revival of 70 kilometers of the river that flows through the region the building of bonn 62 farm ponds 52 czech dams and watershed structures all in a bid to ensure that not one drop of water in the region goes to waste. It was not just my own gandhi but the villagers where very involved. We collected 4 lakhs and we did it without forcing anyone to contribute whatever they could afford we collected religious contributed to starting with 10 rupees and some even gave them there was not a single house that did not continue even if their bread when necessary living in the city and not residing in the village this is how we broadened and deepened. That flows through our lives and i seem to be so critical of the new curriculum. The villagers willingly contributed to become active participants as a last state holders in the development of their villages. There are 3 basic reason why we took these 15 villages one is we wanted to create more models we thought that if we were able to take more religious then we can make more models and that can be a model for replication dog and they used to say that religion should be selfsufficient so one village cannot be selfsufficient so which is why we took 15 religions and when i went to the villages i realised that villages are like multiple organ failure if you are going to hardly were pulled out of where you work all along pulled it away so if you want to really have an impact. Then you had to work on all the body parts of the standby. Leak. Keeping in mind the severity of the region one of the primary cause of the global bully initiator was to create other opportunities to make a living these alternatives. Only on agriculture and farming when also bringing in extra income into their pockets during a good year or harvest. I mean there are start there when i started to make the check myself my family members were concerned and i asked them if i could continue to do this in addition to my daily farm book they said ok so i took time out to do this i now make the chutneys in the morning or evening that i going to the farm at 10 am and come back at 6 30 pm now i do it as an event i find time to time the sound of it and as im sort about. 6. See. Whats got them from mum double religious looks forward to these sessions every day with fellow members of a Selfhelp Group today they are making ground 0. I feel like. These are then marketed by global curly amongst friends families and corporate houses in my building cities. Due to the orders a man can fetch them and additional 3000. 00 rupees which is about 38. 00 euros. 50. While the men are also struggling the women are struggling back once more to go there to look after the family so if you give them a source often called i think it helps that family. And most importantly the woman like some saving to get that for the children for their education for family so im voting woman has got to be the most important thing. Is a. Development of these villages have played a profound draw in this transformational journey when depression and alcoholism had taken over the region in what seemed like an age of utter hopelessness it was the woman who led from the front joining donkeys to lentulus campaign against the seen across bodies religious. Not to one of the hundreds of eco shops across these 15 villages off but only remain. From a region making headlines for the largest number of families who sides and a climate of dr doom only is to be seen as a role model in selfsufficiency and selfreliance. Global putting up a local one of the. Global barley has now are going to come out and changing the mindset of. There will. Be needed to build other than for instance insight about what he can store somebody and what they were doing at the poly and i thought once this was done about where you now do what i would like yes im quite a. Lot of republicans are coming to me with. Me ill go to the other 2 i would. Like. To go south i think you are you have there been a lot of real that is based on politics based on cost based on religion and now we see each other as human beings we dont care if he has land on what religion he belongs to none of these discriminations exist any of. That in harmony and because of that we can now see social and cultural progress in our village. You know. When youre talking of a mill and i want to talk about in a moment the problem with me. Often you only need one person to take the initiative and help more and more people understand the big have to come forward and stand up together to bring about lasting change this is how movements are born and mindsets of changed. Just over a year ago. Straighted alone in front of the Swedish Parliament she wasnt alone for long today her protest movement to stop Climate Change is called fridays for a future and has gone global its an impassioned call to politicians to strive for a carbon free future. And not something thats only possible with Renewable Energy the swiss adventurer and visionary showed the enormous potential energy by making the impossible possible. Currently only powered by kerosene which destroys the environment peak out wanted to change that he built an aircraft powered soley by the sun by 2016 his circle navigated the world in it. To the people thats what indian scientists and activists Vandana Shiva stands for she fights against corporations that want to genetically modify and monopolize scenes she works to protect the seeds of over 1000 crops by saving them in banks and making them available to farm and so its an initiative that protects biodiversity as well as Peoples Health and livelihoods. Of 4 to walk distant germany has sparked off an Inspiring Movement to fight rampant plastic pollution around the world 322000000. 00 tonnes of plastic is produced and consumed every year of this 12000000. 00 is in germany alone stephen horse is trying to bring people together to reverse this. Getting closer to his goal Stephanie Halasz has been paddling for 4 weeks now from the western german city of cortland from the rhine to the capital berlin in the northeast of the country. The. Greatest thing and this was a trip of 750 kilometers it was to come up against your limits when you think youll never make it then you get a 2nd wind and then you do it that this is not my call to ring. Germanys rivers looks so clean but 7 years ago stefan started collecting garbage on his kayak until those. Missed as thats precisely the problem. In rivers in asia you see it immediately because theres so much of. The fault here its not so visible because youve got some over here and some over there so we have to hunt it down. But after 6 kilometers weve typically collected 500 kilograms. He started out doing the collecting on his own hed make an arrangement of the garbage from the rivers photograph it and put it on display its the photo designers way of making the invisible waste plain for all to see. On for i took a photograph that shows a kayaker from above paddling on garbage this is the average amount of garbage from one kilometer of river in germany but not in asia and we have to work to reduce that because germany has a lot of kilometers of rivers trying to reach the feet of whos going to meet up. In total around 7300 kilometers and stephan horse has only traveled a fraction of them so far. Alongside exhibitions he also organizes regular cleanup events 7 cities are taking part in this one like oberhausen on a tributary of the rhine. And what you have to look closely i pull out pieces of plastic all over the place to look just like the stones my boats already full up. Hes joined by new volunteers at every new stretch. Here around 60 cleena opposite on the water and the river bank. Because i think it makes total sense to not just collect waste from the rivers but also from the landscape around them. And their eyes. I think its important to realise that this is not just happening in the caribbean or wherever be aware that it starts here with us im saying that. After just 2 hours theyve gathered around 2000 liters of garbage last year steffen horse and other kayak has lifted around 30000 liters of garbage from the water you met up with congo. 4 years ago he did a tour on the rhine from south western germany all the way to the north sea. Its and theres a lot of that weve been a Nonprofit Organization since 2016 after our tour back then it was like an avalanche so many people got in touch send emails asking where they could help out. The fund if your pattern or i couldnt handle it all on my own. Thank goodness im no longer a lone warrior more and more people are joining im really happy. Enough whiteness to. Stephanie halasz needs as many fellow campaigners as he can get because theres plenty of work to do but hes happy to have come this much closer to his goal of clean water ways. A german nonprofit Building Group is doing something unique for business professionals to travel to Eastern European countries like to build who its for the softly disadvantage lets take a look at how this is bringing people together from different realities to work for the common good. Its 9 am at a building site on the edge of the mall to open capitol kishi now 20 young people have come from all over the world to build a house together. Gordon voice to from the german Nonprofit Organization build and grow it explains that the builders are actually business professionals who are working to help poor families here the often they are i often see the emptiness and inner dissatisfaction of my colleagues who devise strategies but never get to see the end result this project is completely different here the team works towards a common goal and changes lives and out. Voice to work says a Business Consultant for an International Company in the last year hes already built one house together with his colleagues and the most often construction company. The company is called unicode walls and it specializes in the particularly Energy Efficient prefab Building System the young firm is a socalled social business 10 percent of their building projects and houses are for socially disadvantaged people anatole mallon see it is one of the founders. Of the way we built. Approximately we make the homes at least 75 percent more efficient a Traditional Home building. And yeah i think we can. Contribute to this climate. Change initiatives and also protect our environment our words and even the of the even though less import from other countries. Most housing blocks in moldova were built during soviet times the insulation is poor or in some cases nonexistent in the winter time the heating costs eat up about a 3rd of a normal income those who managed to put a little money aside retrofit insulation to their apartments. But the most stuff a family cant afford it they have 2 children their son adriaan is severely disabled and requires round the clock parental care. Now the most of us will be moving into the new house thats currently being assembled by the business professionals their tiny apartment isnt really suited to a disabled persons needs. But the most of us wont only have a new home alexandru who is an artist and designer will have a new job too hell be working as a consultant for unical walls the most important Building Material for unica walls houses is timber each panel consists of a wooden frame which is then filled with polystyrene sheets its a plastic but its unbeatable in terms of weight and density the panels are sealed with the fireproof and waterproof sheeting. They unica walls team passes on its expertise by holding regular lectures at moldovas technical university. The university is training up the engineers of tomorrow. And its made Energy Supply and efficiency one of its core themes. Day 3 on the construction site and the house is standing now its time to fit the windows. The basic Construction Cost 50000. 00 euros a part of that was financed by donations from the volunteer workers in 2 hours the keys will be handed over the insulation waterproofing still have to be added to the roof everyone is going hammer and tongs to get it finished. When even in comes its time for the big moment. The most of our family are given the keys to their new home. And its time to celebrate. Meanwhile the family can now inspect their new rooms. You. Will see this in such a wonderful day i feel great really great some of the team want to take part in the next House Building project to make another family happy the. Now in indias law the most region and engineer is bringing the local Community Together as part of a fascinating project to store water from the melting p. C. s in a man leads to ice most villages here facing a huge shortage of for the for the summer months of april and may the ice to project is not only ensuring that the community has enough Potable Water but is also making sure the big youre up to back to Climate Change. This is not a remnant of a melted glacier its an artificial Water Reservoir the shape of which is reminiscent of a buddhist sanctuary a stupa made of ice the idea was conceived by sonam one chilcot an engineer from the dock in northwestern india is our ships which have a minimal surface area for the you so the sun cannot melt it as quickly as it does or does until flat ice and therefore it melts slowly as the summer approaches and as it melts it gives its water to the farmers ledecky is famous for the worlds highest altitude cold desert in a region which gets only between 50. 00 to 100. 00 millimeters of rainfall annually the glaciers have been a life source for ages. They provide water for the cities. And for the farmers as well. But due to Climate Change almost 20 percent of the glaciers in the area have been lost in the last 50 years. Although the glaciers melt during summer time there is still water scarcity during certain months. What many people dont understand for farmers the challenge of water is only in the springtime it created me which is when they need water and which is when the glaciers are still not warm enough there so they dont melt. A wooden scaffold serves as a skeleton for the ice stupa in winter scarce melt water from the mountains is transported in underground pipes to lower regions. Due to the difference in pressure it shoots up all by itself. And the minus 3 in the air will extract the heat in the water and then it falls down and freezes in the shape of it forms and the beauty is that you dont need machines are pumps or electricity or fuels or pollution none of that its all gravity simple pipes. Its summer now this stupa is 5 months old built by the inhabitants of a nearby village originally it held over 15000000 liters of water. About 50000 liters of milk daily. With the water flowing from the i stoop and the village in the valley has enough water available for the timely irrigation of the fields. Son im one choke is cofounder of the students educational and cultural movement. Because the young people will one day have a say in the fate of the region they need to know how the stupas help the farmers. However in the long run artificial glaciers are only a makeshift solution. I stupors are not just. Method of making water but it is also a message from the Mountain People to the people in big cities of the world it is equally important that you in the big cities do everything to mitigate Climate Change and change your lifestyle so my message is that please live simply in the big cities of the world so that we in the mountains can simply live. There are now about 25 i stupors in the region to create them needed just a leap of the imagination whats needed now is change on a global scale. Global vision to tackle Climate Change is to me a bundle from last that he should and it would be impossible if people came together in whatever capacity they can to make this happen i hope to be as episode has inspired you to join the cause but soon well be back next week with yet another apocryphal king show until then good but.
