Be. Coming to you from mumbai in india its obvious to me lets look at all we know the migration in cancun is our site being used to love us for the chemicals. I was in vietnam coping with extreme breakdown. And how design knows not in shorting the plan will win but not as easily be smoked out of the box. Forced lets look at the story of the people who are tackling drivel pollution in india. Fly was it a staple of putting it temples and mosques around the country but they often end up in rivers considered holy of india to maintain the sanctity of bigfoot example the ganga floated based reportedly accounts for sixteen percent of the total b. S. That ends up in what is considered indias. Do young entrepreneurs and conquered have found in the ingenious solution to this seemingly complex problem. I got that cheese or incense sticks have always been an intrinsic part of religious functions in india. Swelling smoke rings emblematic of hope spreads and deference. But these activities made right here on the banks of the river ganges perhaps small special. They recycled from the waist of flowers offered it temples every morning as they burn to the ground they take a substantial portion of potential river pollutants with them. Right this very place john reid went fifteen of the asserting theres a chick friend who had come to visit me in concord so and were sitting here. These are festival which marks the ending of the winter solstice and welcoming of summer so people celebrated by taking a dip in the ground this is conservatives very horny. So we sat here for about an hour and we saw that more than one fifty people came and lived in the ground is and they were bringing the wardour there was a person selling plastic containers just so that people could buy the containers and fill that back home the water was sort o. Dreams were cleaner now and we were thinking why and we started talking why is the water when you would. Spoke about. The issues because of the company we spoke about the issues of the family the spoke of the cv and so on and then we saw a lot of people coming in and throwing the religious waste in and then there was a small band from one nearby temple which came and dumped all the flowers that was the point i realized. No one has ever done anything we almost always. In a patient need that led both uncle agarwal and karen rest stalky cantore residents who grew up in this town along the ganges to develop an idea that is today a successful and Sustainable Business model. Help us green works towards upcycling temple waste its most successful ventures so far has been flour recycling. The conversion of used flowers collected from temples into charcoal and chemical free agora parties. When we started no one believed in us on this because they knew very little different five years old in your un that started about when you do something something and then when we were going for it with an open movement operation make them believe it was a hard task but the river once we showed them the actual product and the actual impact that were making then they believe that yes something they are obviously going. Around the Industrial Town of can pour in protest again g. s the most revered of rivers in india is at its dirtiest going by conservative estimates about eight Million Tonnes of flowers a dumped into the river every year. Flowers are thought to be completely biodegradable but the sheer volume combined with pesticides and insecticides lead to toxic waters. One of the primary causes of hepatitis cholera and diarrhea. Topic of traffic of the flies from the temperature in the concourse of the people got drugs which have a different route you optimize them so that the time is less. Of one of the proud certainly of the aid and then they distribute it to different women now then they have to say it again but the thread the blocking of the ideas. Then we separate them into three parts one is used for incense sticks. And on the third what we have created is the product on top of oil which is the void force biodegradable come aboard. Then these women manufacture. And incense in the first three incense sticks in india. Chemicals like also a can lead a removed during the process. Weve been able to fly more than seven thousand pounds of waste and that means that weve been able. To work. To. Help us green currently employs about seventy nine work is predominantly women from marginalized communities many of whom used to work scavengers. Who am i going with them but now im working everyone appreciates my work and. Because of the work i was doing no one. Spec to me no one ever wanted to drop in at my home. But now everyone comes over whether im home or not i always have guests over when. You. And i had to believe that i had to do something new for the city or for the community we work with most are in the community so for us the basic needs are food clothing and shelter for them with selfrespect. Care and your study and kit i got while and now determined to extend the flower cycle entrepreneurship model to other industries facilitating the employment of five thousand people by the year twenty twenty. Mile hope and dream is that ive started this facility at every corner of the city and the country so that nothing goes waste and we provide more and more than you and make us. Out on them its a big move for us. Now from india lets head southeast. The country is experiencing frequent bouts of extreme flooding storms heat waves and cold snaps rooted regions a particularly hard hit leaving local farm was struggling to protect their crops the cost to province of kwang being which is regularly hit by storms is setting an example but trying Something Different lets take a look. Good none is going up the country that had most of us and this year this impacts economy especially the effect that the first sample fall two thousand and seventeen in vietnam we have to see things come to the owner of that country. Am come from local and here thats why i understand the happy walking and happy life of people. In a specially with the poor people that dispenses group i think that thats the group they need to support. The people who live in this they have their income mainly be painted out on the only condition and some fishing. And they have a small garden but the women they also lack of knowledge and skews that nicole have knowledge and use on the other group thats why you support their women. Thanks to the project ive learned a lot about taking care of my fish like what kind of food they need to feed the baby and what to feed the adults and ive also learned how to keep them healthy and i have to treat illnesses this project helps create jobs are also my fish at the market and that means income for my family what do. I was born and grew up in the village. For me the most important thing here is the people i really connected to them. And they. Were friendly and open. We stick together and we help each other. Oh villages hit by natural disasters every year we reckon with one or two typhoons every season as well as one or two major floods with all the storms of every winds was even more problems than in the coastline is receding swallowing up our land so learn the same time sand invades our homes in the fields where we grow our food. Will be dont you. Think it will. Be a. Very good planting lots more tree were restoring the forests to try to mitigate the impact of Climate Change fun really. The forest creates shade and climatic buffers. It serves as a break and stops the soil from drying out. The trees help clean the air and reduce greenhouse gases. During the typhoon season the forest helps prevent the sun from drifting in from the coast to the village. Just a little from the fury of the storm and. This really is a. Model of. Other villages in vietnam as well because. In these. There are all of the communities in the. Forests. And they understand about the eco system so they will get from. The. Economy because. In fresh chapter they also. Could be ma nature. Will be protected. People can also live very friendly with the environment the local people have a good income. A large part of indias workforce works and is susceptible to extreme weather conditions like excessive heat twenty seventeen was the hottest. Recorded in indias history the fourth Straight Year of the record has been broken in such a situation constantly hydrated becomes a necessity one man in delhi is making sure every person in his neighborhood has access to clean water. For the last four years sixty nine year old like nasir rajan has been on a mission to make sure no one in his neighborhood goes thirsty. I start my. Five oclock moving can deliver the first round of water for the market and then i come back. He starts delivering water much because rounded and parks commonly used across india to store water and keep it cool natarajan is popularly called the much demand because hes installed nearly one hundred water pots in his neighborhood for public use even fills them three to four times a day everybody is more concerned about the b. M. W. And the most of. Them with you know when you dont really need to. Make sure that your garden is who is a. Cyclist security guards daily wage labor is rickshaw pullers some protests greatly benefit from the service he provides a staggering one hundred sixty three Million People in india dont have access to safe water. Its initiatives like not iraq that help improve the situation i think the principle people should give some water for the public also. And its a limited use thing. People encourage all kinds of people all kinds of people make the Community Nothing really belongs to us everything belongs to the community. And whatever you do is good sincerely. Lets not shift focus to look at a problem affecting one of the largest Industrial Stores of carbon on earth more lands of crucial significance western intact these Natural Habitats can store ten times more Carbon Dioxide than any other ecosystem on average changes in land use practices and climate operating them. But in Nature Conservation project in germany has found a week to restore them. These conservationists want to save the more land near give horne in northern germany their most important work right now is up rooting young trees from areas that are too dry andre data of the nature and Biodiversity Conservation union has been working here for many years and leads the restoration project. Were removing trees to keep the moreland open because its so dry the trees will otherwise keep growing and create a forest. Up rooting the trees also helps protect the climate the more land stores considerably more carbon than forests. Too many trees would dry out the more and slowly destroy it. Ninety eight percent of the more lands in germany have already been destroyed through peat harvesting logging agriculture. Teaches at the university of Sustainable Development and neighbors valda near berlin shes very familiar with the global threat to more lands illegally yes i was one off because it was. In africa for example about twenty percent of my land in kenya in nigeria has been protect the cultural use making it a source of greenhouse gases. In indonesia and Southeast Asia theres a rep a deterioration being converted into Palm Oil Plantations under. Pete has been harvested here for two hundred years today its mainly used as potting soil. Andre data and doris planter of nabu are hoping to restore more lands currently being used for industrial purposes. They. Need in order for the peak to develop and kate moss is the most important plant when it comes to replenishing the more oil and when that if you as peat is removed barren areas are being created it could be replanted so were trying to grow as much peat moss as possible so that we can plant it on those narrow areas. Brought up the ball that will help the more lens to recover. To grow peat moss on a large scale water needs to be returned to the more land first. To soak the area we release the water out theres a void here and when we remove it the water flows through and fills the area. Could be divided. As the more land revives it slowly recovers its former biodiversity many insect species can only survive on more land. Peat moss also begins to grow again. The peat soil here will accumulate at the rate of about one millimeter per year so its a job that requires a lot of patience. Itll take about six thousand years for the more land there get horn to fully recover for years now and again right through school was incomplete without a but not. A six yard wonder government handle when in sync with gold and silver thread but how do we bring the standing in to a dying art as we were increasingly turned to mechanized that turn out large quantities of synthetic and. Now some indian designers have stepped in to save the iconic sorry and keep the craft to life. To wash away the sins in that if a gun got some to die and be committed. But it isnt just the city thank you. Its also famous saris with silk and gold. With a distinctive look and feel. Its. A must have for stylish indian women. The fabrics. Operated by spring the punch cards the determine the designs to. The looms. The physically demanding work is mostly done by. Weeks to make a single. But scenes like this increasing. The centuries old artistic tradition. In the past there would have been a wooden handle in every home. Entire families in these villages around involved in skills were passed on from generation to generation until this happened. In the last decade but enough to see the arrival of machines churning out cheap. And wiping out the handle and just. Made the switch. And invested in power dunes and states many artisans. In this. Makes me very sad. But i have to embrace new technology in order to make a living production is now much faster i dont have to do backbreaking work anymore. Unlike these machines can run as well as at night. And i make much more money. But there is a solution to save the handel industry. Just in the kemar is a designer in about an assay he draws on the skills of the citys biebers to produce contemporary handcrafted fabrics for Luxury Fashion houses in the u. S. And in europe. They end up as design aware on catwalks. Prices can be as high as four hundred dollars a metre for the timing chain know times have changed there isnt much of a market left in india for people handled saris. The Industry Needs to reinvent itself. To go with International Buyers because they really value craftsmanship and Handmade Products and theyre willing to pay much higher prices. Back in the village that is allowed to employ thirty two families on a regular basis. The weavers here own between one hundred twenty to two hundred fifty dollars a month depending on the work and the scheme. Its a way about the marketplace. The hope is that it will encourage artisans to stay true to their unique craft. Making a single piece of handwoven fabric involves an entire chain of artisans specialized in different skills. Up to sixteen different workers a part of the process. Initiatives like helping to sustain the artisans and keep the craft a life. Of peace but not on the family but change seems inevitable and the future remains uncertain. You can see there arent any young anymore its a huge problem young people nowadays want to study the more aspirational they dont want to get into this kind of work. Thats the biggest challenge. If we dont do something in another decade there wont be any artisans left at all and in this industry. If one of the seas remaining hand looms what to fall completely silent. It would mock the disappearance not just of a profit. But the way of life. I hope to be a stories in spot to do to be the change you want to see in the world well be back next week with more salt stories each one taking us one step closer to a Sustainable Future good bye and have a wonderful week.
