On the streets and they are winning more than changing the are already. Digital. Stars in the twenty fifth d. W. Hello welcome to equally near sustainability magazine where reading to do seem to change may cause people like you and i who are finding solutions to some of the most pressing problems in the world to be. Coming to us from new like india. This week lets look at how an organization like mumbai is changing peoples perception of the city streets. When the engines are doing to reduce their carbon footprint. And how an art project is making or statement to combat Air Pollution and climate change. What caused the war story that has a brutal beginning but luckily a happy ending in the eightys in the early ninetys or Four Hundred Thousand stray dogs of mumbai were caught and killed most of the sunni didnt mean. Local n. G. O. S have fought hard to make sure this practice never brought back for the. Street which is at the forefront of this fight along the road ahead. Of. The. When a buddha has walks in the streets of the City Street Towards Unfeelingly greet him with a strong sense of recognition. Many times to the surprise of passers by. As a kid i used to see dogs being taken over by you know dogs that went on neighborhood dogs that we knew was Damiana Blackie and the months used to pick up and kill there. Really are lives that i mean why should this be done when that ultimate theres. Something. For twenty two years old this in this n. G. The welfare of stray dogs have been looking towards the old goanna to. Be nothing
is happening for. Nothing is happening here than i infection on every sunday one of the many routines the follow religious leave is to provide first aid to about twenty dogs in the forty area of south mumbai. You know. The full cooperation is to kill them because they thought that was the only way it could bring down rabies or the stray Dog Population. For me of this twenty two year old johnny its a long term relationship and you know every time a dog passes over part of me and dice. On the. Street dogs in mumbai would typically belong to the indigenous body happy to have had a history. Even considered a nuisance and a treat because the potential carriers of the fighters. In the early ninetys it was organizations like ours is that for hard for their right to be treated humanely. Its. The way to still walk that dog used to be kept for three days by the months of all cooperation in the dog and if nobody claimed them to electrocute them so there we function is abuse to go and rescue these dogs. In the group. If. We convince them once a bill called petition that figures of how these vets have not gone down the speed Doc Population has not gone down that lead does. An alternative it was a scientific humane method of controlling the Dog Population which is what we call an animal birth control. Are what we call Sterilisation Osprey and you know. It wasnt until Two Thousand And One that deceptive foods under the prevention of cruelty to animals act we did mandatory for loopy governments to Sterilize Street builds instead of. Infrastructure and funds has meant that it has fallen the Bone Interviews which are often financed
through missions and grants to control of meeting the Students Population in mumbai my wife was. My. With a. Bit of snow still is a back seat hes cruised to Three Hundred dogs and juliana living in war. And weve been feeding her what this means is that they dont feel it was trained dogs and few months back and soothing and so that will prevent it from getting any maggots which is almost no and weve been feeding up for the last. Five weeks later think want to recall three dogs surely not three part of the World Health Organization want to call them. Beds so they are looked after by somebody on the street the policeman the person lives on the street you know so they are the
ones who look after them give them names. They dont need. So bad yeah yeah yeah. Yeah robert you know how i dont Want Con Kids from behind such fine tuning but. Make sure. On one of the citys streets. She works as a housemaid and leeks just enough. But it has been easy. Living. Like many of the. Dogs in the city. Just. Twenty. The
last few of them. She has employed there carries the back lunch boxes to the dogs. To be meeting. With. The little chill. But theres a big response of it. All started then we wouldnt. Said yes to it. Was. Given them. More than that maybe. Theyre. Just. People coming in. So the thing that if these dogs are not full. Because they are not so they realize that this is the best are we that you know the street dogs and humans can live live in harmony. Now experts see that stray dogs try in the indian cities because its become easier to find food it looks like its not twenty different in germany either except its white boards who wandered into the cities limits in often back into the white german capital but now has a commissioner for wild animals and his primary job is to be
a skinny conflict between humans and the city is growing up in by life. A Wild Boar Strolling through berlin. Is a vice were not deep in the forest but in a large park where thousands of people are out and about they dont appear to be frightened of us. Still the boers keep their distance. Just the cities point man for wild animals people often call them when they see a boar in the garden or a raccoon on the roof he knows where the various species like to hang out locals out for a walk tend to take the company in their stride. While the poor have been here for ages since i was a kid. When he got to know how to deal with them. Coming towards me i walked towards them and they scatter. Company spano and over to where i live in the suburbs where used to them i used to run with the boys On My Way Home now but they
still make me a bit nervous. So there are probably between two and Four Thousand and berlin. Several other species also feel right at home in the city. These are species that have got used to us and have adopted this is there are various reasons first the physical environment in the country Intensive Farming deprives them of their habitat or here they can reproduce with abandon. Second in the city they are hunters a few to. See. On the other side of berlin and the Tear Practising to lay on battle is looking for Hedgehog Nests hes a biologist at the lightning institute for zoo and wildlife research. And i want to home. When he. Made use of this tree trunk but hes not here at
least. Not in the third nest. Hedgehogs go out at night and sleep all day but as weve just seen not always in the same place. In the room or hedgehogs in cities than in the country thats because i was gardens and parks of a great natural habitat. The project hes working on is about how hedgehogs bats boars raccoons and other wild animals live in cities. Not the ones in Zoom Enclosures but those living free. I mean is this like its in for one of our aims is to inform the public about the animals that might be living in their gardens and to encourage them to leave the creatures a little space and leave gaps in their fences so animals can come and go. That we can thats important if certain species are to survive what many people dont
realize is that because weve deprived so many species of their Natural Habitats their numbers are declining. Back to the park where we met the wild boar in the middle theres a large lake. And its not just humans who like to chill on it shores. Wars arent known to be keen swimmers but they are if you go to consumers of crisps and cookies. Run the governesses i like and love i really how come i have a look and as isis not tradition it is really interesting to see the animals in the city it always happens always great to be able to show them to my son but we all know about the downside to not tell your kids i had a brief past they were in the garbage and they can spread disease. And stuff on
them so i had no idea also works with the public thats really important because people need to do their part to enable the peaceful coexistence of humans and animals in the big city. Was even done in africa other animals say want hogs or elephants move into towns and villages and cause a commotion. Australia has similar problems of his edible image we have to engage with both the supporters on the critics and having animals in our midst and we have to find a way to live with animals it cant be right to simply fight them off what are the many cities have blossomed into hubs of biodiversity its often in the urban jungle that wild animals find what they need to survive and even to thrive. Lets shift focus to one of the most urgent problems of the twenty First Century india stompin emissions are still very low at one point eight percent compared to
the us is sixteen point eight tons per person but most of its energy needs are still makes my pool the dirtiest of fossil fuels will be needed in the midst of the quite problem as in the world and the plan to double the koolau by twenty twenty is having a disastrous impact on the environment and on people are deported travel to china in the eastern part of the country the heart of indias corn belt. Saw the three month old is seventy years old. She scavengers in the coal mines of tokyo. The birth of a ship is just not.

Whats happening so i try to help them but owning money i really dont like the work my heart isnt there then they get a few hours of work which is the equivalent of three euros thats more than what people earn here as day laborers of some Thirty Thousand people workers called scavengers. But they pay a heavy price burning rockwall releases toxic smoke and gases causing widespread asked and respiratory illnesses in the area. Carrier sits atop one of the Worlds Largest gold reserves. To try again to open pits and deep mines here account for
a quarter of indias coal production. But the corn is also on fire. Dozens of places below the ground some have been smoldering for more than one hundred years when Underground Mining First began most fires ignited spontaneously when the roads in the exposed call heat up. Continued mining at the surface has opened up cracks that feed oxygen to the flames. The resulting toxic emissions have devastated the environment. The coal fires destroyed houses and triggered landslides. In the short of a while has been campaigning for the rights of illegal cold workers. Tree. India is being a huge Human Cost Stash because. This government just doesnt bother right now paul
is very important it is very important for the development of the border develop massive cities to shoulder the world that theyre wired with them and at the cost of these people.

No alternative sources of energy are definitely the need especially in a country with High Energy Consumption and c. D. s Air Pollution in big urban centers now the government is keen to meet in the country and its economy was environmentally sound but it needs to convince consumers and its hoping
a new economy we help ive reported is headed to the capital city of kuala lumpur to find out. If only it was this quick and easy to get around malaysias capital city. In reality rush hour looks more like this c o two emissions produced by traffic at one of malaysias biggest climate but thats all set to change. For example with this Electric Scooter it was developed by the malaysian company. Theyre especially proud of the High Performance potteries they designed themselves. With. The power direct drive. The batteries that we uses for kilowatt hour. This is
one of the Technology Breakthroughs that we have actually of so far not only comparing malaysia i was comparing to the wall. The malaysian Government Supports companies that bring eco friendly products on the market like equally my. Financial aid in tax breaks are supposed to help malaysia become a green a country. But over the past three and a half years only four hundred scooters have left the factory thats around Three Thousand Seven Hundred Euros they cost twice as much as conventional models. But i will be says more though right now is two of the two to go for the fit because the most heavily used. Right now the biggest is Kentucky Fried Chicken keirsey using it for Home Deliveries police been battling using the bikes and we also have a local council in force when people going a rope are calling the routes we have not. Surprised me for the fleet customers
there are also already in use at the Malaysian Ministry of energy where manufacturers of eco friendly products can apply for support from the environmental Incentive Scheme its being implemented by Malaysia Green Technology corp with support from the g i said germanys International Cooperation and Development Agency more than Eight Hundred Fifty different products and services have already been accepted they carry a Special Label Green Malaysia but private consumers are still hesitant when you go to the market for example theyre looking at how much the scores in comparison of course so there is still a challenge there so unless we have Economies Of Scale being we can produce these Green Products that skew then we can reduce the cost. More and more Companies Want to jump on the eco bandwagon. But first their products are put through their paces for example here at the Serum Certificate in isolation in kuala lumpur. Cyrano
wards its own eco label which companies can use to apply for the mighty john scheme. With this detergent meet the standards. Company things that support that use biodegradable so we havent been tested on the bio degradable we keep but then show the body to get over this matter of. The sample is mixed with a bacterial culture. If the sample hasnt dissolved within twenty eight days the detergent twenty granted the label. Leaflet. The criteria that have to be fulfilled for the eco label tailored to conditions in malaysia. Not only with respect to health and environmental sustainability but also with respect to economic feasibility. So that it has to because he didnt because he said it. So we have to look into the Economic Situation of the country and. Read the. Book. The next step is to establish Uniform Ecological Standards by region. The german Development Agency is also supporting malaysias neighboring countries indonesia thailand and the philippines. Because the more people buy eco friendly products the better it is for the environment. Now. And most times on an individual level often watch desperation is to put on a mosque and get on with life but
