Equal india we want to have a look back at some of our favorite stories and change me and without a doubt we shall logical balance from bengal to one such a. Successful means of wind polluted in a neighborhood lets look back at how she did it. Would be. What. It took. About 10 years to rescue and revive a neighborhood leak in the south of bangalore. It was not actually a choice because. From my balcony i could see this league and it didnt act all look like what it is today it was a dying league and i 1st. Levi and loudly to die before my eyes then i am i. To respond to my. Remark i learned there that the help of neighbors in the Larger Community radical pollen urged the civic authorities to invest in the revival of put in a wholly. New they agreed on the condition that its maintenance would be up to its citizens. In 2010 radical pollen pooled in money to form a Lake Improvement trust with like minded citizens and experimented with innovation based on simple science. They used discarded p. V. C. Pipes to create a number of artificial floating islands. We did our own research on how to improve the quality of the what done to be zoned in on this principle of hydroponics very people growing money planting bottles of water basically the rule to absolving the nutrients from the water so we extended into making these what we call the artificial floating islands. These islands are made up of plastic bottles that have several species of bio filter plants growing in them. Deludes of these plants absorb pollutants like excess nitrogen and phosphorus that enter the lake along with sewage. If they do remain in the water it leads to an overgrowth of vegetation that eventually deplete the oxygen. 60000 feet we have left because this is. Only 6 months after introducing the islands. Noticed a significant improvement in the condition of the lake. But. You didnt even need to test the water to see that that the quality was improving because we could see the big bad you can see fish and the birds were coming there and it was absolutely delightful. Bangalow has had leaks since the 8 century. They were built when the city was founded because theyd like to. And receive. Leaks in fact remain the primary source of water. But as the city grew and biped water was brought in the lakes lost the attention the. Once received. But now citizens groups like radical balance i trying to restart the discourse and revive the former glory of that citys beautiful lakes. We are constantly having these programs all to bring that Community Together to this lake to make them understand that this lake is important not only that it is recharging the water dave. Giving in and seeing the green color and the people can see a difference and i did love to come here on the time but it is no freebies you have to contribute something to. That article palin continues to ensure that her Community Works to keep the lake a life. Bringing back a leak to life in wall street i reporter caught up with the challenger who bolland to find out if anything has changed in the 2 years and what keeps the water needed to continue the crusade is on a 0 again so does whats been peoples reaction to that other vision of italy. And this is your story give mark he started getting cards from grass in different parts of india. That there was somebody over the euro zone. So its very exciting because now people are likely to see theres an extraordinary about me and my friends and mine are into it and for all i know it will be good much so what do you say that leaks in bangalore are receiving more attention now what has been happening in blues and me how broad im not sure of the normal he says decently. And give out a good relationship. Im not we are actually we want to go down a document on how who are rejuvenated in a league and more about how to meet a need to. Be active participation our people and that. I think a lease whatever leaks of the number leaves that still less. Than a little but what are your plans for the future. I hope they will give you a lot more so there you see a slight build nasa meaning the least now i see potential for lots more birds to come and. I think ive been very happy. So i think that i will soon come again. And how you were judged on my. Early that will be well worth it because what you have also been telling a generation is that belief belongs to you so you need to take it forward you cannot always depend on mild to people but here it is a community that. And i think that is they are likely thank you so much for your time. Excess story definitely shows us how much a community can achieve can get that that can also be said for our next favorite story from germany where a group of climate pioneers once decided we want to show the world that 100 percent switched warbles possible and guess what today we produce even more energy than me. Or the 100000 that its all there in nature we dont need to take any energy from fossil sources underground plenty is given to us every day we just have to make use of it. Build boats create produces 8 times as much electricity as its 2600 residents can use all that electricity isnt produced in one big plant paterniti centralized fashion and its then made available to others via the grid. Delegations from the places around the world marked by flags who have come to inspect this revolutionary village. They usually. Demand for 23 years and has been involved in the shift to renewables from the start. The villagers have invested 50000000 euros over the past 2 decades 300 photovoltaics systems 9 Wind Turbines as well as several hydroelectric and combined heat and power plants. We want to show that it is possible to create a regional circular economy for Energy Production and energy use this. Of course it has to make economic sense. Another father of the green revolution a very cold street his fan dylan. Hes a farmer who started experimenting with Renewable Energy in the 1990 s. He soon won over his fellow villagers and set up a wind farm cooperative. Anyone who lives in the community where a windmill is located can invest the more people join the lower the amount each may invest its currently 5000 euros and no more. Has set up for bio gas plants on his farm they now heat the entire village. He designed some of the components himself the Energy Sources are all local animal waste and grass silence from 20 nearby farms. They replace 700000 liters of heating oil a year. With their mix and with the right mix it wont be hard to attain 100 Percent Renewables many people dont believe that but its true the amount of clean energy we produce in a very neat could also be generated in other communities districts and states. Are going to rise of grip on the. Energy generation is one key factor to others are Energy Storage and developing an intelligent grid so power can be moved to where its needed. Theres no known company and addresses both these issues it makes lithium ion phosphate batteries which in combination with solar panels enables households to become largely energy independent. It also manages an electricity sharing system so on and community. Private power sharing could perhaps one day make the large Utility Companies and the huge power plants redundant. One small. Varia could inspire other people across germany and in other countries. Examples like proof that change is not only possible but its. Now i would like to bring you back story thats especially close to my heart a yodel reported about the Women Farmers in the region. Who cleaned the. Land from the ancestral farmland these women were revolutionary and now during the pandemic theyre probably the best family. The women of bobby village in eastern maharashtra are singing songs of prayer for a good harvest and weeding out the bad luck theyve had to face in the last decade. But i love it now to look at the lot that go in the region of my body is one of the harshest places in india to be a farmer crop failure severe groundwater depletion Food Insecurity and uncertain cash flow are widespread problems its drought prone districts are seeing an increasing number of farmers suicides every year. Despair and hope of guaranteed returns had forced farmers like Suneet Kulkarni to concentrate on cash crops like sugar cane and so have been the money he earned was always blood back into the farm for the next season this meant there was very little to feed his family. His wife was determined to break the cycle. When a man works on the farm its only thinks about money what they want and the Big Decisions that need to be taken this is it but its very different. Things about the home and the needs of her family the food and the money thats required to survive well when they get her. 3 years ago she insisted that her husband set aside one acre of farmland to grow fruit vegetables and greens to meet the food needs of the family not only that she insisted the line be legally transferred to her name for a woman to make such a demand was not only rare but revolutionary. In india 3 percent of farm land is inherited and owned by male members of the family while women inherit and on less than 2 percent. That men have always had to work as farm laborers 70 percent of the men farmers today do all the work in the not as Decision Makers but as helpers so what right now the owners to mike in one incredible. Funny i know them all very middle of the. Good overheads to local wing of so i am sure shown a pretty org a womens Empowerment Organization that has helped many women assert themselves. And i got a lot. Of. Other things. The idea to empower women came after a startling revelation in 2009 many of them were severely malnourished. I mean. And then be conducted a medical came to test the level of him a little being in the van ness and he realized it was very. Good looking. That man about one out of the men present said that in rural families women traditionally serve the men 1st and then. What is left and sometimes its nothing at all. That i have that camera has im not. So the one acre more of women lead and climate resilient farming also helps ensure women eat better. So im sure trains Women Farmers to preserve seeds and grow 35 different types of nutrient rich vegetables grains and tubers on their patch of land using organic farming techniques that minimise water use this reduces their reliance on store bought produce. The one acre model has improved our general status not only within her family but also within the community. Actually we need to prove our worked to ourselves if you want our families to believe in our ability now that i am successful my family consults me about every major decision that needs to be taken. With us. In the drought prone morocco more than 41000 Women Farmers now practiced their one acre. But the fight for womens rights is far from over. In a deeply Patriarchal Society only 10 percent of women or of one acre farm as are china and the now do. Women farmers have millions built into them even many talk to them about big problems well the devastating effects of the changing climate basin undaunted over the last 2 years cannot about Climate Change and rising temperatures are equal you must have experienced the fluctuating extreme weather patterns to a city in spain has now come up with solutions to tackle it and there are replicable across europe and india. Cradle to between lush ills and the Mediterranean Sea bos alona is a spains 2nd biggest city by 2030 the City Councils urban ecologists are looking to create an additional 160. 00 hectares of green spaces thats one square meter per resident as well. Its a very ambitious plan without it will take a lot of effort but local residents will benefit from these green spaces which will also help absorb pollutants and regulate temperatures. That are. A turning point that is much needed during recent decades barcelonas average temperature has risen by more than 2 degrees celcius. Smaller projects include planting certain flowers around the base of trees to protect them from pests providing shade for others and create a network of green spots throughout the city. The key player in the strategy to ease the effects of Climate Change will be an increase in the number of vertical gardens and the fountains of rooftops the once a place where neighbors would meet to dry their clothes and habitat for one better novel martine they are a game changer. Back there look at the comment that getting at us a little bit but alone as infrastructure is already built so it would be hard for us to fit in new gardens now were. Bringing our terraces rooftops and facades are some of the only opportunities that are left for us as a city. But the city of florida keys are choosing plants that are extremely heat resistant and only need a little water that ideally is provided by rainwater collected in tanks the new greenspace can reduce the heat on the roof by up to 50 percent cooling down the apartments below and reducing the need for air conditioning as well as heating. At this local school the children have been eagerly taking care of the new trees and the terrace garden. And theyve developed a real crisp ekta for. Them. You need to take care of plants because they also have feelings and thoughts that spend shouldnt kill plants because it just doesnt well it just doesnt make sense this is the problem they taught me about the different types of plants. And how you need to take care of them. For having a lot of fun here its Little Wonder with a so much to explore and the extra bonus of harvesting fresh food with no travel miles attached which is good for air quality. Barcelona is clearly a city in transition soon it may no longer be necessary to climb the hills if you want to get some fresh air and enjoy the beauty of nature. This is about creating resilient spaces that can cope with the disruption that Climate Change is causing green spaces both private and public ones are really. Important and thats why we need to commit to policymaking that ensures the green areas in the city increase. Will sink in and. Bringing nature to barcelona is a huge undertaking but it will encourage plant and animal species to make the city center their home. Cities around the world made barcelona by a lot of time money and effort when it comes to their Development Rural populations on the other hand often get a vote. The next story i want to bring back is one. Of our community of traditional camel huggers seems him to give up on its all joined livelihood and its finding. Alternatives and one just can do but try. This region is indias largest so its plain and home of the cut i am of. Their diet includes various blondes shrubs and mangroves. The hardy as the heart of that called out traditional pastoralist they live on the camels using them for transport or by selling them a. Buck today this livelihood is threatened the once thriving mangrove forests are fast disappearing giving way to salt dance for big manufacturers. Boat if youve got your good man groups are much closer to us earlier we used to take to care most or to greece and be back within an hour and there were many a lot of that on about 30 on the mega about but no we need to go 6 to 7 kilometers deeper into the desert to look for the grazing ground try to by the united im going to read about them now or so supplement on that i dont want to sort for direction and processing is trying ordinary grooves in the 3rd one is sort of what i am going to get there that are going to. In 2011 with the help of a local ngo the camel harder organize themselves into the catch. On the turn to fight for their rights over the years they have filed a case in the National Dream tribunal a special court that deals with the cases related to and vironment issues to disallow Salt Manufacturers from operating in the region and ensure better implementation of the conservation plan of the highly threatened cut 8. In 2013 together with the ngo they came up with an idea to secure their livelihood. For years they only use camel wool for their own needs to make seat rest while riding camels are bags for their belongings taking this practice beyond the image it community could not only give them a new more of livelihood but also help guns of the qatari army. Is a matter of pride were. In really here. And shoot for this one doesnt require any sort of. Let a lot of chemical dying process it would be a winnable in maybe a few and there is a possibility of getting a very beautiful product out of this. This one who has been. The engineer coming here has been helping the holders of catch to set up an Assembly Line process the gammons assured once a year just before the regions harsh Summer Season occur a camel produces about 300 grams to 5 kilograms of oil per year depending on its age thats enough to provide a viable source of income to the camel herders. The women are spending the shared role into the whole community is involved in the processing of shearing the wool spinning very young. And leaving the plot. To do there are only 6000. 00 curry camels in the culture region but with the camel herders taking a big step towards reinventing their Traditional Craft and fighting against the father spread of the salt industry a Sustainable Future for both the camels and their herders might be possible.
