And why big change occurs when the power is in the hands of the people im some of the coming to you from mumbai in india more of your googling gives a movie out the religious and moving into cities sustaining life on agriculture is becoming difficult with every passing day especially if you live in the hotshot egypt of eastern 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 collectible farmers from 15 villages in the region is trying to bring this top to life by empowering the farmers to solve their problems head on. This is the district of b. In the monarch about artesian off maharashtra its known to most as one of the vostro depicted regions. In india battling a pity me a water crisis as well as struggling with the highest number of pharma suicides in. The order administratively gin of barley is the most affected but the lowest irrigation rates in the country the average in a gated area in india is 40 percent violent bali its a mere 1. 72 percent its almost impossible to make a living from agriculture many people here are dispirited and in desperation turn to alcohol. But this was bali situation about 3 years ago today the global pollie initiative with 15 villages and its board has managed to read out its story. The way. Petroleum when they opened up on that 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 the 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. Not just my own gandhi but the villagers. We collected 4 lakhs and we did it without forcing anyone to contribute whatever they could afford we collected villagers contributed to starting with 10 rupees and some even gave. There was not a single house that did not contribute even if their regular nurses were living in the city and not residing in the village this is how we broadened and deepened up a National River that flows through. The villages willingly contributed to become active participants as a last 8 who live in the development of their villages. There are 3 basic reason why we took these 15 villages one is we wanted to create more morals we thought that if we were able to take more religious than we can make more mortals and that can be a model for replication gauguin there used to say that villages should be selfsufficient so one village cannot be selfsufficient which is why we took 15. And when i went to the villages i realised that villages are like multiple organ failure if you work on the heart of the liverpool where you work only with a long pull that ok so if you want to really have an impact. Then you had to work on all the body parts of the standby. Leak youre. Keeping in mind the severity of the region one of the primary goals of the global bully initiate do was to create other opportunities to make a living these alternatives. Relies 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 when i started to make the check myself my family members were concerned 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. Them from mum double lives looks forward to these sessions every day with fellow members of a Selfhelp Group today they are making ground not just me. I feel like. These are then marketed by global curly amongst friends families and corporate houses in neighboring cities. Due to orders a man can fetch them an additional 3000. 00 rupees which is about 38. 00 euros. While the men are also struggling the woman are struggling back once more to go there to look after the family so if you give them a sort of often called i think it helps that family. And most importantly the woman like some saving to get that for the children for the education for the family so and boating woman has got to be the most important thing. Is a good. Development of these villages have played a profound role in this transformational journey when depression and alcoholism has taken over the region and what seemed like an age of hopelessness it was the woman who led from the front joining dantes to lentulus campaign against a see you know across bodies religious. But. Not to one of the hundreds of eco shops across these 15 village is off but only remain. From a region making headlines for the largest number of farmers who sides on a climate of utter doom only is to be seen as a role model in selfsufficiency and selfreliance. Global economy a local one of the. Global barley has are are going to come out of the change in the mindset of the people who get there heres what. You need to google whether theyre for instance a site about only legal store somebody and what they were different as poly and i thought once this was done about you know you now do what i like i guess im glad. You caught a bubble. Gum in class and then you come as a community where youve got mostly gathered with me ill go to that about who i would. Argue. In. One of the sort of like. A little. Harder you have to invent a lot of reality 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. We live no were not in harmony and because of that we can now see social and cultural progress you know in religion. You know. Youre not going to bill and im one of about enough homage to prevent what you. Might. 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 lasting change this is how movements and mindsets of changed. Just over a year ago demonstrated 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. Enormous potential energy by making the impossible possible. Powered by kerosene which destroys the environment wanted to change that. Powered soley by the sun by 2016 he can navigate the. People that indian scientists and activists. Corporations that want to genetically modify and monopolize scene she works to protect the seeds of over 1000 crops by saving them in banks and making them available to families its an initiative that protects biodiversity as well as Peoples Health and livelihoods. Of 4 to walk is to determine has sparked off an Inspiring Movement to fight rampant plastic pollution around the world 322000000. 00 tons of plastic is produced and consumed. This 12000000 is in germany stephen horse is trying to bring people together. Hes getting close to his goal. Has been passed. For 4 weeks now from the western german city of corpulence on the rhine to the capital berlin in the northeast of the country. The. Greatest thing on 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 because this is not my soft. Geminis rivers look so clean but 7 years ago stefan started collecting garbage on his kayaking tills. Going over to a mist 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. Whats on 40 of them are 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 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 lets get a meter. In total around 7300 kilometers and stephan horse has only travelled 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. You have to look closely i pull out pieces of plastic all over the place they look just like the stones my boats already full up. Hes joined by new volunteers at every new stretch of money at that site was here around 60. 00 cleena opposite on the water and the riverbank. 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 realize 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 might up with congo. 4 years ago he didnt or on the rhine from south western germany all the way to the north sea. Its interesting so i told him that weve been a Nonprofit Organization since 2016 after our tour back then it was like an avalanche so many people got in touch sending emails asking where they could help out. Your pattern 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 if i got enough white mr. Stephanie halasz needs as many fellow campaigners this he can get because thats plenty of work today but hes happy to have come this much closer to his goal of clean water waves. A german nonprofit Building Group is doing something unique for business professionals to travel to Eastern European countries like kuwait who is for the socially disadvantaged lets take a look at how this is bringing people together from different realities to work for a 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. Garden voice to from the german Nonprofit Organization build and grow explains that the builders are actually business professionals who are working to help poor families here. 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 our. 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 open 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 build. Approximately we make good homes at least 75 percent more efficient than Traditional Home building. And yeah i think we can contribute through this climate. Change initiatives and also protect our environment over words and even the event there were less imports from other countries. Most housing blocks and 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 manage 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 around 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. The unico 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 insulation and Water Proofing 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. See this in such your wonderful day i feel great really great some of the team want to take part in the next House Building project too and make another family happy the. Now in love that 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 face an acute shortage of for the early summer months of april and may the ice to power 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 sun on one chilcot an engineer from a duck in northwestern india now claims are shapes which have a minimal surface area for the while you so the sun cannot melt it as quickly as it does or does until a 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 to 100 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 spring time it in me which is when they need to alter and which is when the glaciers are still not warm enough there so they dont mail. 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 and the beauty is that you dont need machines are pumps or electricity or fuels or policeman 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 ice stupina the village in the valley has enough water available for the timely irrigation of the fields her. 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. And 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 it needed just a leap of the imagination whats needed now is change on a global scale. A Global Vision to tackle Climate Change is truly a blunder for last election and it wouldnt be impossible if people came together in whatever capacity they can to make this happen i hope to this episode has inspired you to join the cause that moves you well be back next week with yet another pacu king show until then good bye.
