This is. A grammy. Award. Defined by. Boston. And. Given that this is a fact. Which was one. Of the country and also. Unforgettable memories but also save the involvement in the process. Of. These. Instead of importing them. From the transport to create a more environmentally friendly indian wedding. Since the leap on began her career shes just a significant shift in what couples now want on their day so ive been doing this for about 6 years now. I have. Making so we have tried to implemented here and there and sometimes clients didnt know or we and we did inform them that by going to choose Something Different so i would say probably about 30 percent of the line 6 years ago probably less so i guess 20 percent wanted something ecofriendly but now im surprised myself to see so many people coming forward saying that they want eco friendly so i would see probably like about 70 to 75 Percent People are kind of conscious and want your friends the things. Traditionally indian families celebrate manage with pomp and show. A wedding is a display of wealth and tradition. While there is an encouraging green trend among urban indians the leap and says it comes with a lot of challenges. People always thing that an eco friendly wedding is equal to being cheap so that has been a challenge trying to get people away from that concept of eco friendly being cheap so there are many different aspects for an eco friendly wedding it can be a simple thing as having people or see people or even to digital and write for the in ways that you give your guests even as a simple thing like having a chalkboard for your science then getting a flex printed which is again a one time use in terms of your trousseau as well i would recommend probably using for one they went out of this your grandmothers side of your mothers wedding starting probably the view of some jewelry as well. Said months suit is another green entrepreneur in battle. She founded ben especially 0 with shop. She says that western duction is trendy but it isnt a new concept in the country. We used to live in a very easy to list we in india and i think in a lot of. The horse who is narrative thats honestly dont need to buy a western rhetoric. And i think essentially its going to be used to do with its not that normally so i think it is can be very accessible it can be very are my be very average indian. So i think it can be for everyone and its just about making these small little microlight choices and then it just adds up. Runs workshops on the weekends to improve accessibility and get the community you talking and thinking about reducing waste. She also publishes a d. I. Y. Ideas online with the idea that small changes can drive a big movement. I think sometimes gets a bad rep about being too expensive or inaccessible and thats why we do all of these talks and workshops so honestly we. Just need a kitchen or your backyard and you can mostly make a lot of these products within like 20 rupees. But the idea is essentially you know to make it just even accessible so thats a very very transparent about it recipes it all on our website so if you want to make yourself toward you go for it because the ultimate aim is just for less waste to be up and up an island for the knowledge im optimistic that its going to really change automation east. And sustainability for the better. Eco friendly living is often seen as a privilege of the rich but with. Championing small steps and improving peoples access to green ideas indian consumers have increasing opportunities on their doorstep. Lets take the example of our Rising Energy needs. As an emerging nation with the worlds 2nd largest population the soaring demand for energy in ever to build in india most of this demand is met by burning fossil fuels to get to the government is pushing more and more people to buy into the promise of valuable energy like solar power the actual switch is a very tedious process. Building contractor so shell share much hard work has paid off in 2015 he bought a house where his family of 4. Its a big house complete with modern kitchen and air conditioning. The electricity bill is around 10000. 00 rupees a month over 100. 00 euros. To save money he decided to make the switch to renewables. We had heard of the governments solar target and we wanted to contribute also i saw my neighbor mr go had also installed the rooftop solar system and. Thats where i got the idea of installing one in my house system and. His 200 square meter roof was ideal so shell share my installed a rooftop solar system and 2018 it meets the household entire energy needs. India is home to a growing urban middle class experts say that of the trend continues the countrys bar Capita Energy consumption is set to quadruple. Relation where. All. Of this energy comes from also 70 percent of initially generated talk and. So if this is to remain in the future. In mind it also means that orderable amount of energy coming from. This means there are Greenhouse Gas emissions. Officially the government is backing an Energy Transition it has set a target of 100 gigawatt installed capacity of solar energy by 2022 off which 40 go what will come from rooftop Solar Systems thats the equivalent output of 10 large coal fired power plants but so far its achieved only a fraction of this target the field is 0 for you know the struggle it was it was and though it was Russian Companies are losing their. Friends. Roles as it is a. Process of rationing so that when it comes to violence there is also little. Segment. And the banks are looking at the company my son specializes in Rooftop Solar Panel systems it also helps clients navigate the people work involved. The indian state subsidies the installation but the country is still a long way from reaching its clean energy targets. The real revolution of solar will only come when people like you and i are businesses are Building Industries corporates Hotels Everyone starts using solar because everyone has roof i mean. So you have millions of buildings. Or you have buildings you have potentially a space for solar setting up a solar power project for social share man the investment was worth it in the last 2 years his 7 kilowatt Solar Panel System has produced 22000 units of electricity. Well most of the biggest benefit for me was that of the cost of a piece 4. 00 and a half lakh i was able to pay in installments of a piece. Sometimes my legacy bill would be working more than that i didnt have to pay anything extra and made this shift for free. As indias middle class continues to grow the countrys Energy Demand is soaring especially in the cities but if more families switch to renewables as the show must have done indias growth want to be at the expense of the environment. A great idea often needs the right time to come to fruition for bicycle enthusiastic london that proved to be the onset of the pandemic look i dont know why this crisis has meant fewer cars and a lot more bikes on the citys streets and this could help make a big policy push towards turning london into a bicycle friendly city. On. The cyclists in london cost to be quite comfortable. With a road like this video called produce cyclist is not really much of a problem but you have to be going that more or less the speed of the traffic a new presence on the road has to be quite strong for. Philip collins and rides his bike everywhere he cycle some 20000 kilometers e. M. Not texan excellence and his family after lease that more and more london as a discovering the joys of cycling. That will cycling enthusiast from the time before Young Children grow that bikes to school. Thats still something of an audit seen on t. V. But how could soon change. In school. For advancing get people cycling. The next generation i think the definitely be more comfy than that on the buy a person would think they should just go ahead and close 50 percent on the side streets just. To cause dont need to go on 50 percent so give us access to everybody. Cause as much as possible. Those kinds of demands get done since taxi drivers will riled up the citys cabbies are among cyclists gracious critics. Who do not get rid of all the. They would and then uses the traffic at the moment is terrible. Row. So whatever Michael Moore cycle license is just going to make the traffic even worse sty joyous because half the people who saw it drag the marmot dont know the high white collars on the small percentage of the highlight charge. So there should be some sort of a test for cyclists and yes londons in a city is currently swarming with bicycles as the quran the crisis i should in a new age of mentality. Cyclists now have some powerful supporters behind them there will be a huge amount of planning going into helping people to get to work other than by mass transit and this will be i hope i never but my longing for one of the former secretary of transport i would agree this is should be a new go in age for psychic but they must act fast when commuters return on mass and wont be enough buses or trains to accommodate them and to take it to social distancing missions if even a small percentage of these commute to start using cars instead london will be fixed with 10 children. The temptation to get into medical will be very very strong and understandable so i think weve got a short window of time to reach out to both the politicians and to the public to say there is a better writer of to fish. Than is the city londons financial district is what he did in the way. During the debt of access is restricted to process and bikes only. An inside walks are being widened to give pedestrians more room. And in some residential districts streets are being flumist to street traffic drivers are having to find other bricks 1. Oh. Well this just in these few weeks there is an amazing opportunity to connect. A lot of the unconnected parts to get the local councils on board to get the local roads resignation or cycle or nuance is this true universal realty. During the corona crisis london fields have become more like bike friendly amsterdam. Philip johnson and his family hope it will stay that way. They have this new golden age for cycling seems almost too good to be true. When the cycle im fine struck eastern india in me 2020 the World Heritage site but this wasnt. Located in the bay of bengal it constitutes the largest mango for this and is that the receiving end of many and badminton calamities local communities are now putting their Heads Together to find Long Term Sustainable Solutions to improve the Living Conditions in a place they call home. Like then unpin had barely come and gone when help arrived in the sunderbans. Volunteers from the quarantine Students Network set up pumps to expel the salt water that had collected in the fish ponds. The immediate aim of the Emergency Assistance was to enable locals to return to fish farming and also prevent an outbreak of disease. Public. Health and hygiene are seriously disrupted here and need to be restored stagnant water is dangerous as it can lead to gastro intestinal diseases as well as skin conditions and then there is the often ignored issue of snakebite thats a snake bite. This fish farmer however no longer sees a future here for herself and her family. And what can we do we are dependent on relief now once a lockdown is lifted we will have to leave this and there are plans to find work there is nothing left here. This in advance is home to 4000000 people its located in the delta formed by the confluence of the brahmaputra ganges and meghna rivers and has a unique ecosystem but the region is frequently hit by storms it took years for the residents to recover from cyclon iowa in 2009 before being devastated again in may of this year. And neil is at least relieved that this time his home was not destroyed by supercycle and his family also survived and hers. Were given to the family lives in a part of the cindy where a large section of protective levees has been erected. I was. Greeted by months of already been built inside julia and lara poorly these areas have traditionally face tremendous damage due to psych loans he was surprisingly this time they were saved because of. Next to our religion rang a bell. Which used to suffer a lot because of the storms but this time the concrete embankments have saved the day. Its been 11 years since the Indian Government decided to build the cinder vans in 5 minutes but just 5 kilometers have been completed to date that section withstood the recent storms and also proved useful for transporting emergency aid so people here now have construction will continue at a faster pace the tico society for Rural Development is an ngo thats been helping local residents since the 1970 s. And thats one of. The lives of the people in the stelter always hanging on a thread. So no one really knows what danger awaits them the last. Predictable they will get worse we need to be properly prepared by quins our best bet. But the embankment still cant stop the salt water from getting into the fields fallen ill knows he has to adapt by farming his land differently. In some of his fields his now planted more durable plants. Were going to. An organization based in delhi helps us with farming certain pulses that can grow even in storm prone areas where salt water frequently enters. The gun i was not involved with the last 5 years weve been growing a range of lentils and pulses across 200 hectares. Because this can prove to be more sustainable for cycling prone regions like ours. The future of the People Living in the sin of arms will depend on how quickly they can change which crops they plant and how and how soon the embankments can be completed because the cyclons will return with growing frequency and intensity. When faced with the natural calamity not only humans but animals need support to survive to female orangutans for example breeds and produce only 45 offspring stored in their lifetime by the mother of a younger offspring. Of the wife an Animal Welfare project in sumatra even during the pandemic is teaching these. Kids to do just that. Humans have to keep their distance from a ring of things to even at lunch time. Because both species are griscom contract to do coronavirus. These are rang a tangs are under lockdown and have had to stay in their cages for months. This is Yellow School is close you can train them to 5 and introduce them to get them for it so we bring in the forest for them so its like. Right then. And all this for. So they can learn that its their meals are delivered wrapped in leaves so they have to figure out how to get the food useful practice for when theyre later released into the wild. Cages or disinfected twice a day. Hygiene is of crucial importance. The teams who care for the animals rotate every 3 weeks before they start work staff have their temperature taken another coronavirus precaution they shot the video for this report themselves we talked to the head of the project by video call. Or were going to. Argue. About a long time d. N. A. Is 97 percent identical to the out of humans so theyre extremely susceptible to all our diseases especially those affecting the responder tree tract. You know thats the main reason why weve imposed such a strict quarantine to make sure theres no transmission of a virus replicating in humans to a population in the wild. It would probably have no immunity atoll to such a virus. The effects could be devastating. Dr beller has been reporting on this project for years through the aim is to prepare a ragged tanks for survival in their natural jungle habitat in the book to go pollute rain forest in central sumatra. Many were rescued as orphans often held captive as pets under terrible conditions they had forgotten or had never learned how to move through the tree tops forage for food and build nests their keepers at the Jungle School teach them all these skills usually out in the forest itself. I rang a tings enjoy Piggy Back Rides many of them dont like to walk much this was before the coronavirus pandemic. So no exercises in the forest for now even though they have so much to learn is. Probably the most important item on the curriculum a Jungle School is learning about fruit trees what they look like and when they bear fruit. In which season or in which years. In order to survive every rung in town has to develop a 4 dimensional map in their head covering space and time it takes time to learn all the but weve had to suspend the learning process where the trees and when do they bear fruit as the iranian towns have to stay in their cages. The lockdown can only be relaxed once the pandemic has been contained this is not good for the animals their fitness deteriorates and they become bored even though not the best preconditions for release and survival in the lie old. Those that have already been set free currently lead better lives keepers go on patrol to check on them and provide extra food if need be. Here to social distancing implies. Our work. Yes for sure. They. Are allies. The school is located in the book who rain forest and releases its graduates there its a very remote location. So should any around it tanks here catch the coronavirus they wont pass it on to other ones in the wild. Whats more they tend to be naturally self isolating creatures anyway and dont hang out in big groups. The team faces the challenge of protecting their wards from possible infection while also training them for release. This video was shot a couple of years ago there is no guarantee that a selfsustaining population will emerge here again over the past half century 80 percent of the regions rain forests have been cut down to make way for vast plantations. On our last visit paid to pa to stress the importance of saving the forest and teaching the orangutans survival skills. And you dont see if the orangutans are able to survive here and all the other animals in the rain forest Animal Community will be to the tigers elephants and old you other species thats why its so important to protect them. The number of covert 1000 cases among humans in indonesia continues to rise. The project has a back up plan if the lock down goes on for too long it will release its orangutans into the wild before theyve completed their schooling but will then provide them with longer term support out in the forest its that way the tains will be able to settle and have offspring and their numbers can grow until the threat of extinction here is banished. I hope you had many takeaways from to be assured especially that a modern society neednt truly harmful about determination to live an environmentally sustainable life ill see you again next week until then good bye.

Europe is facing the challenges of. Developing the European Public sphere just specially digital and is one of the Biggest Challenges in the coming years in a. Good mood could immediately here. Join our discussion starts 1230 u. T. C. Hello and welcome to in good shape today from the museum for coming to in berlin the good old days may have been good for many reasons but back then it was not easy to stay up to date with the news you had to buy a newspaper or wait for the evening news to find out what has happened in the world today we see and really about everything immediately and practically a 1st hand and what do we learn from all this the world is bad was in conflicts everywhere dictators send criminals patriot in violence terror persecution and displacement and death and epidemics it 247 feet of horrible news its definitely not healthy heres an example. On april 15th 2013 the Boston Marathon was under way when suddenly 2 homemade bombs exploded near the finish line the terrorist attack killed 3 people and injured hundreds in the aftermath many people suffered from posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms including panic attacks insomnia and depression. A study found that some of these people had only been exposed to Media Coverage of the attack in a few cases their symptoms were worse than those of eyewitnesses. Terrorism war poverty crime disease and disasters all over the world there are tragedies and accidents that make us afraid. We used to read about what goes on in the world or hear about it on the radio. Now it is news reaches us along with the vivid images in often gruesome detail. Studies show how bad news makes the heart rate and skin conductance rise more than good news does. More research is needed into the impact on our house. Today im talking to. You again here in a little news surfing impose something terrible happens even very far away on people surf the web obsessive leave for news why we saw addicted to heat up enough of the sifter we truly addicted i wouldnt necessarily agree with that statement why. Do you think theres always an element of comparison of what. You didnt insist on this specially because of social media. Constantly engaged in some form of comparison if not bad news also gives us an opportunity to compare and contrast. Compared to terrible things going on in the world you might feel Something Like a sense of relief. And last your own life might feel pretty sad at the moment but in comparison to all the disasters out that it might seem more bearable. Type to shine lets look at the story that has affected us all in 2020 the Novel Coronavirus cause in covert 19 weve spent the last few months consuming news about deaths infection rates bottlenecks in medical care and restrictions in public life the virus is like a specter an invisible threat that its making its mark on our daily lives and that scares a lot of people. Crises often trigger specific fears and diffuse anxieties and they can spread from person to person. When people see pictures of empty supermarket shelves or reports of a travel ban they might stock up on goods and buy much more than necessary by the way in english squirrel stockpile enjoy. Its hamsters this is really a god empty shelves signal things are going to get really have nothing to eat. Its called squirreling away supplies because thats what squirrels do to get through the winter. Is it not in terms of your Historical Development of humankind its been an important signal for us to be if you dont start up you might not survive. So the panic buying can be seen as an act taken in an attempt to reduce anxiety. Our distant ancestors probably all say folk need to be on top of things to stay in control. Nowadays watching the news day or night is perhaps an attempt to regain control the trouble is it tends to boost anxiety t. V. News tickers are said to be particularly unsettling its a good idea not to watch the news all the time but to check in just once a day and to maintain a critical distance can what theyre saying be true does it make sense. To sources of information that a serious reliable and honest half truths fake news weird claims are punishes they can get on the all skin. If your sketch youre more easily duped. In the movie. When youre frightened of something you perceive and everything connected to it much more vividly than others who wander afraid of it your sister situation your might be more liable to take new information to heart and fall for claims that are actually absurd. When the well just feels mad and bad a change of perspective can help is there another way to think about whats going on in friends and relatives have interesting ideas. Debating the issues reflecting on other interpretations can sometimes help to deescalate. The tension and restore a measure of composure. Specially. If youre standing in line at a store and someone does not observe social distancing or i. J. Rules what do you do but in times like these peoples personalities tend to show through more clearly because you know all their different varieties i say its extremely important to stay calm and deal with such situations defensively. For. Another helpful idea is to think about the time after the pandemic when he could go out with friends again. Go on holiday. You can start thinking about where you want to go. If you really cant muster the energy to think of a Brighter Future that could be a sign. If clue and fear predominate get help in the more main market as much if youre always worried and brooding and that is taking over your daily life. If you can no longer pursue the normal activities of daily life you cant sleep in your consumed way anxiety. Though of course there are very good reasons to be concerned if you feel you arent functioning properly then its time to seek. Justice. And dont forget humor if you can manage a laugh you might feel lighter though you cant really force it just think about the mad rush to acquire toilet paper we all had about early in the crisis. Come here for the toilet paper craze was basically a random event which just happened by chance people dont go to the toilet more in a crisis its just irrational. I didnt have to be the case that this would become the focus of so much attention not everybody talking and thinking about it its stupid to stockpile toilet paper theres so much old paper to be recycled why on earth should there be a supply bottleneck its just a rational. So the best thing is to try to keep the virus and thoughts about it at bay. Researchers in qatar conducted a very interesting experiment test subjects were asked to read current news on the internet any news could result they mainly selected the bad news and ignore the good news so is it our own fault if we focus on bad news india Record Number of new coronavirus cases on sunday hundreds of elephants. In recent months being described as nonstop bad news is the world really in such a thoroughly terrible state for countries in the region. With of course the current coronavirus pandemic is indeed an extraordinary global crisis. But if you take a longer term view you see there have been many positive trends infant mortality has never been lower. And the number of People Killed in natural disasters has been averaging downwards and taught still we often get the impression things are just getting worse and worse myself included even though as a journalist i dont just consume news but i also help shape it. Why are we more sensitive to bad news doesnt have something to do with the brain im on my way to see neuroscientist martin. She has researched precisely these questions. And that him for me of the brain process is negative news faster better and more intensively than positive or neutral news on to us we also remember it better in terms of evolutionary biology and processing negative information better than positive information has been helpful because in the age of the say protect tiger and woolly mammoth missing a piece of bad news might well mean thats it for you. Studies have shown that test subjects from different parts of the world became more excited and no more. As soon as they were shown bad news regardless of their booking shine and culture. Many Media Outlets use this effect to their advantage negative headlines sell more copies and get more clicks and. Studies show that the media are publishing more and more of that news this specially online. Just about how is it a problem if the media revel in bad news. And astrally is worst and foremost and makes us all have negative expectations so we go through life with the worldview in which we assume the world is worse than it really is left us to toss a vicious. Was the impact of media reports can be extremely strong take the Boston Marathon bomb attack in 2013 for example some people who followed the news obsessive for more stressed and frightened than others who had been physically present. So what does this mean as elsas as my 1st of all it makes people less likely to take action you might think the realisation that we all have a worldview thats too negative would actually prompt people to become more active but many psychological studies have shown that that is precisely not the case and guides i just pop whats more it can promote chronic stress we know that chronic stress can be a factor in many diseases including diabetes cardiovascular disease and Mental Illnesses such as depression how can be depressed when you doubt if you can trust. The coronavirus 10 demick is a good example after months of bad news many people have grown weary of the crisis they feel helpless and wish things would go back to normal. Its as a journalist i have to consider whether i might be contributing to other people having a misguided view of the world what can the media. Do better. Journalists could ask themselves what now. In addition to the usual who what where when why and they could pursue the matter further do more research and focusing on what can we do about it. Of course its still important to describe the problem but then go on to talk about possible solutions. Ask people for their ideas always keeping in mind the question how can we solve the problem. Current. Inspired by her research. Perspective daily or a constructive online magazine which complements news stories with ideas for solutions but its not just Media Outlets that could or should change we can all do something good for ourselves and our brain. And you dont have to reach for your phone or turn on the t. V. Or radio as soon as you wake up you dont have to consume information. We can be more discerning in our use of the media helped you flick to talk. It is also a good idea to choose media that are trustworthy and present the news in a responsible and sober manner. As if for the sake of your brain and your well being accessed the news wisely and you can also simply take a break from it all. You need to get used to be hard to get news now were subjected to a flood of news 247 how is that affecting us returns. I think were not really able to process all the images or news with in an inappropriate way emotionally mentally. On the one hand it leads to overstimulation. But it also leads to something i find for. More troubling slowing in the kind of numbness and disengagement. From. Consuming the news if this addiction to news gives us a frail mix of fear and pleasure through. But to get that hit we need something bigger and bigger. The size people find themselves drawn to seeking out or clicking on news thats more and more horrible goof from this was me i was feeling. Many studies have shown that people are more likely to click on say form i mean its an unpleasant stories about say a baby from a to b. To measure baby after things doesnt this flood of news make us feel helpless in the face of all the evil in the world was because its yeah. Theres some truth in that. But it depends on the individual and their specific circumstances. On the impact that news will have is very individual and varies according to the persons mental and emotional framework. And the intensity the volume density and overdramatize ation if its extreme quality the day you have scandal after scandal all of this can meld with or amplify a persons emotional or mental state in ways that can become very problematic
