Some of that all good and to me im happy to welcome you to the hundreds of equal india who want to have a look back at some of our favorite stories and change me and without a doubt. One such most successful even by you you know neighborhood lets look back at how she did it. Moving but. What. It took. About 10 years to rescue and revive a neighborhood lake in the south of bangalore. It was not actually a choice because. From my balcony i could see this league and it didnt at all look like what it is today it was a dying league and i 1st. Levi allowed to die before my eyes the response to my. Remark. With the help of neighbors and the Larger Community that article urged the civic authorities to invest in the revival of. The agreed on the condition that its maintenance would be up to its citizens. In 2000 den. And pooled in money to form a Lake Improvement trust with like minded citizens and they 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 planted in bottles of water basically the roots are absorbing the nutrients from the water so we extended that into making this 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. The roots 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 algae and vegetation that eventually deplete the oxygen by 60000 feet. And 6 months after introducing the islands. Noticed a significant improvement in the condition of the lake. If you didnt. Even need to test the water to see that that the quality was improving because we could see the big east the lake are bad you can see fish on the verge of recovering there and it was absolutely delightful. Bangalow has had leaks since the 8th century. They were built when the city was founded because it lacked a perennial driver and received low rainfall. In fact remain the primary source of water for bangalore eons but as the city grew and biped water was brought in the lakes lost the attention they once received. But now citizens groups like radical pollens are trying to restart the discourse and revive the formal 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. She is giving in and seeing the green color and the people can see a difference and hed love to come here all the time but it is no freebies you have to contribute something to. Pollen continues to ensure that her Community Works to keep the lake a life. Bringing back and link to life in. A reporter caught up with him to find out if anything has changed in the 2 years and what keeps her to meet and to continue the crusade. Its on a 0 again so does was the biggest reaction to the Shuttle Mission of the. Ellisons your story came out he started getting calls from the grass in different parts of india after there was somebody over there were some. Of the dish so its very exciting because now people are liking to see theres an extraordinary about me and my friends. And for all i know it will be much better so when you say their lives in bangalore are receiving more attention what has been happening in balloons at the handlebar im not sure of the number hes its essentially. I may have counted good relations of leaks and now we are actually we want to go down a document on how who are rejuvenating a leak and what about how to meet the need to. Be active participation our people and that. I think leaks whatever leaks are the number leaks that still lead. What are your plans for the future. I will then we give you a lot more so there uselessly will. Mean the leak now i see potential for a lot more birds and. I think i feel they have. So i think. And how they were judged by the. That will be worth it because what got him also been telling the other generation is that the late belongs to you so you need to take it forward you cannot or is japan not wild to people but here it is a community that. And i think that sabean would like to thank you so much for your time. Excess story definitely shows us how much a community can achieve to 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 warbles possible and guess what today may produce even more energy than. Its all there in nature we dont need to take any energy from fossil sources on the ground plenty is given to us every day we just have to make use of it. Milled consecrate produces 8 times as much electricity as its 2600 residents can use all that electricity isnt produced in one big plant but in a decentralized 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 welcomes by. Hes been married 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 in 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 film called street is fendel and im seeing. 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. Knew the 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 sweet could also be generated in other communities districts and states. Are going to be the number one cause of 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 their huge power plants redundant. One small. Village in bavaria could inspire other people across germany and in other countries. Examples like bees are proof that change is not only possible but. Now i would like to bring you back story thats especially king was from my heart. Reporting about the Women Farmers in the region. Who cleaned the. Land from the end several farmland 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 out to look for the love that go in the region of my heart bobby 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 who cite every year. Despair and hope of guaranteed returns had forced farmers like suneet call carney 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 things about money what they want and the Big Decisions that need to be taken this is it but a woman psychologically is very different she thinks about the home and the needs of her family the food and the money thats required to survive well when they hit the. Tree 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 that the land be legally transferred to her name for a woman to make such a demand was not only rare but revolutionary. In india 83 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 per cent of Women Farmers today do 80 per cent of all the work in the farm not as just as you make us but as helpers that knowledge as to why. I know them will get him a little. Good over he heads the local wing of so i am should shown a pretty org a womens Empowerment Organization that has helped many women assert themselves. The idea to empower women came after a startling revelation in 2009 many of them were severely malnourished. I mean it. Then be conducted a medical camp to test the level of him a little been in the minutes he realized it was very. Lucky. That man about other women present said that in truth families women traditionally serve the men 1st and then whatever is left and sometimes its nothing at all. That i have that i made up my path im at best. 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 minimize water use this reduces their reliance on store bought produce. The one acre model has improved our journalist status not only within her family but also within the community. Actually the need to prove our worked to ourselves if you want our families to believe in our abilities now that i am successful my family consults me about every major decision that needs to be taken. With us. In the drug prone maroc for age and more than 41000 Women Farmers now practice their one acre. But the fight for womens rights is far from over. In a deeply Patriarchal Society only 10 percent of women all of one acre farm as are jenna and nor do. Women farmers have built into them even many talked about big problems like the devastating effects of the changing climate basin undaunted over the last 2 years weve spoken a lot 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 replicable across europe and india. Cradle to between lush ills and the Mediterranean Sea barcelona is 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. Its a very ambitious plan thought 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. 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 effect of Climate Change will be an increase in the number of vertical gardens and the thousands of rooftops that once a place where neighbors would meet to dry their clothes and habitat for one better novel martine they are a game changer that they leapt at the comment that getting a little bit infrastructure is already built so it would be hard for us to fit in new gardens now that were. Going out 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 their new trees and the terrace garden. Theyve developed a real crisp act for nature. That. You need to take care of plants because they also have feelings and thoughts and shouldnt kill plants because it just doesnt well it just doesnt make sense that this industry is. Ready for you know they taught me about the different types of plants. And how you need to take care of them. Whatever passmore having a lot of fun here its Little Wonder with so much to explore and if 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. So. This is about creating resilience 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. If. You think of. 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 beat barcelona by a lot of time money and effort to their Development Rural populations on the other hand often get a raw deal the next story i want to bring back in one instance of how a community of traditional family hard. To give up on the. Court and its. I mean. One candidate and one just but try. This region is indias largest so explain and home of the cut i cam of.

Buck today this livelihood is threatened the once thriving mangrove forests are fast disappearing giving way to salt dansko big manufacturers. The mangroves for much closer to us or to take the camels or to greece and be back within an hour and there were many a lot of that on about 30 on the megas about but now we need to go 6 to 7 kilometers deeper into the desert to look for grazing ground either by the united im going to now with or limited on that i dont want a song for direction and processing is trying or to my goves. Sort of what im going to get there that are going. To that i was going to hit. In 2011 with the help of a local ngo the camel herders organized themselves into the kutch who want.

In 2013 together with the n. G. O. S they came up with an idea to secure their livelihood. For years they only used family wolf for their own needs to make feed dress. Riding camels are bags for their belongings taking this practice beyond the image it community could not only give them a new mode of livelihood but also help guns are the qatari army. Is a matter of pride work. Because i remember in relief and shoot for this one doesnt require any sort of dying with a lot of chemical dying process it will really only believe maybe a few and there is a possibility of getting really beautiful product out of. This one who has been. The engineer coming here has been helping the herders of touch to set up an Assembly Line process the camels are sheared once a year just before the regions harsh Summer Season a curry 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.
