Lets look at how a poor need based professor has lived without electricity for almost seven decades how an army of volunteers and demi is making sure all the citys poor dont go hungry. And how a French Company is making an eco friendly work done to the plastic. Box first one of my favorite stories on this show electricity use such a basic need for all of us in cities today we may not always know how it works yet weve gone to really imagine our lives without it but if we dont have any professor in the city of whom we invest in india has never used electricity in her life in the twenty First Century how does this really work lets take a look at this fascinating story. Hey my son is evening speaking but liking than to clanton my family hide under dont matter. If it will be. A new. Name you are to show me what it would still make. Me feel good in the mean look like its a mocha no more. Me for the last decade she hasnt used mexico you know. It all go has. She so conditioned to have your flight because she hasnt quite realized the feature she has achieved. I am living without electricity since my birth only thing i was not born here in some hospital when i was brought over here at that time also they were morally the city and still there is no electricity mine said to have become like that i hope not me would talk about having electricity in all of their components. Botany professor by profession seventy nine year old sunny received happy steed by studying in candlelight shes also the author of seven academic textbooks for graduate students in india. I completed my peer. On a small lamp to me. I was writing the tissues in the one told me so we would be would be hard. So i you. Want to know. If youve got to put a lifestyle in context an average indian consumes a little over eight hundred kilowatt of electricity per year on average american consumes nearly thirteen thousand kilowatt of electricity price and sunny consumes nearly zero. Knowledge on this is her because its grand even at this stage shes sitting in an example for us to live by the resources we abuse shes the one preserving them she keeps reminding us do not waste water do not waste electricity why do i really need this electricity we should preserve energy what we really need behind for our children and theres a look at the. Ive. Sung he lives alone in her crumbling ancestral home in one of the citys most bustling neighborhoods. Her busy surroundings are in complete contrast to our tranquil home. Day begins with morning cause sun his deafness is enviable even at its once his standards peeping have found she washes her clothes on her own and even draws water from a well for these needs. Looking at the absence of electricity in sun his home is hardly joining. Me danny if you think this is the period you are. The real that would be real you get not what we dont know why do games good again. Really repaired. Ok did he stay clean and when he would know. What. To do she has a sing off as a dozen students who come to her to learn to seek advice or simply for a Big Conversation guy and i. Doubt any. Other way. That their son is like google for us. If she doesnt have electricity our own a computer or our smart phone. She has and this knowledge to me on so many subjects. She helps me with a lot of things like if i have to write an article or if i have to make a presentation.

Everywhere in children harrys own ideas home tonight i cannot say i cannot stand my needs a year when i am the environmentalist i dont need gone claims are gone. My life feels like these are like. What a legacy to leave behind just imagine dr sonny scabbard footprint and how much less so it would be compared to many if i was talking about Carbon Footprint nearly forty percent of the food produced in india is restrained or lost for the beast that ends up in landfills produces methane a dangerous Greenhouse Gas worse than Carbon Dioxide the Robin Hood Army in delhi is trying to put an end to this to help the environment and stamp out hunger in the country with one nineteen million undernourished people lets find out how. This is how did the canary spends most of her free time ever since she joined the robin hood on like two years ago. The Group Leftover food from restaurants and distributes it to those who need it like in this slum on the outskirts of davie. The volunteers are a mix of students and professionals they call themselves. As i want to be or added to is who we are so i really want people to enjoy not insulting and also ignore the fact that that is a lot of things in the world witnessed today and hunger is. A good player are you know that still. Exist everywhere. The groups business period is during indias pick to. Venues around delhi booked out months in advance extravagant parties and events. Guest list can run into seven hundred people and there has to be enough room for them. Almost always vast quantities. Anitas and i simply thrown away after the separation. Tonight needy was a marketing professional by day and a federal robbins are invited to the wedding reception of another or a cheap wanted to. If four hundred yards are coming. Five hundred out of this the normal process in india since im part of i know the board in mr we have decided its been distributed in the dark knight. For nitty and a federal robin says its going to be a long night if this food left over theyre going to make sure it gets to the hundred. Its midnight and the partys over. The robin stick stock of the situation. Its bad. To estimate theres food left over for about five hundred people around eight hundred people were invited to the wedding.

Or how to cover that for the robins this late night food tripe has been well worth the effort but the acknowledge more needs to be done. To find people is gone i think the number is oh. I wish it was not. Me not doing this because that is the problem with me just wish this problem was not. Until then the Robin Hood Army is staying true to its model taking from the rich and redistributing it to the poor. Shifting focus now a scottish and German Company together have developed a Floating Tidal Energy power plant hydro kind of take energy is a valuable resource but it takes advanced technology to harness it all scalable and sustainable can prove lets take a closer look. Its winter and icy cold out on the water in the west of scotland not very cozy but a good spot for testing a floating title energy power station it was launched in these waters and twenty sixteen david started scott has been working on the project for three years one of its aims is to discover whether the turbines are robust enough to function in the icy water for long periods of time without maintenance with this platform we can swing a turbine out of the water we can inspect it we can see if the blades are damaged the turbine needs cleaning we can run tests on it and its completely necessary we can change our whole rotor. To get the rotors spending for the initial tests the Floating Tidal Energy platform required a very specific Marine Environment one that has regular power for. And swift currents like the ones found in this bag the currents are driven by tidal forces every day huge volumes of water rushed out to sea from the last through narrow straits and then back in again started scott and neils not from the German Company involved in the project searched quite a while before finding the spot for a trial when we were together investigating which would be a good demonstration site weve found this place here which is if you go to it in terms of flow in terms of accessibility also for the for the Marine Operations but also for the operation of the platform later on so this is a very its. The trial went well in twelve months of full time operation the turbine generated enough electricity to power eight hundred thirty households. The successful planning phase getting the plant up and running has shown that the technology could be rolled out on a wider scale. The power it generates can be fed into the electrical grid on land adding another arrow to the quiver of Renewable Energy sources that will long term help cut fossil fuel use and climate damaging emissions Scottish CompaniesSustainable Marine Energy built the platform german firm shuttle hydro made the turbines and rotors they merged during the project to help deliver on its title Energy Ambitions the shuttle group specializes in marine Propulsion Systems including water jets like these. This old pebble steamer has been fitted out with jets built by the company. Its in service on the rhine river here in germany. The steamer regularly passes by shuttle headquarters. Engineer new is building on the groups proprietary Propeller Technology and this newly formed Sustainable Marine Energy company says its title Energy Power Plants have huge potential especially if the conditions are right which is the case off the coasts of japan korea and the western coast of india. On this little excursion lunger and started scott are pitching their technology to potential customers from all over the planet. Jerome bring go is a Renewable Energy project a bell of her from the u. S. If sitting is powerful it because we recognize that kinetic is the next best thing to produce kristie specially a developing current for use of fossil fuels are not the best option because to fully utilize the overall of all resources the rivers that are there all this technology is a perfect fit for what we need an africa to meet the electricity demand but first more research is needed recently the platform was shipped to nova scotia in canada the developers are evaluating environmental impacts and performance of the technology they hope that their power plants will soon replace diesel generators and many remote off grid locations. Now plastic is a top contender for the worst inventions in the Twentieth Century because of the massive scale of palm it has begun to cause the planet especially the oceans not surprising as it may sound a French Company has found a ton of shift of plastic that could be produced with the grow abundantly in these video shoots lets see how. Every hour more than three hundred tons of plastic are tossed into the worlds oceans. And it will take hundreds of years for the plastic to decompose. But there seems to be an alternative that comes from the sea itself. Its the source material for an eco friendly plastic made by algo pack a company in southern france. Using a natural polymer found in brown algae they produce granules that is then used to make everyday items. But the good thing is its completely biodegradable. The not so good thing the bio plastic costs twice as much as regular fossil fuel based plastic. But its demanding creases the price will likely go down. Our final story this week is about how women artisans who are part of the Traditional Patriarchal Society are having the chance to be financially independent for the first time in centuries sob a local organization is helping them build on their individuality in their families and communities and holding them to be role models for their children lets take a look at how this is change their lives. Its easy to clock in the morning. Making breakfast and getting her children to school shed also soon be leaving for work unlike most other women living in indias rural areas she has a regular job. The family cannot survive and water has been owns as a day laborer and the local quarry. Now out there thank you all its very difficult because my husband had to take care of all the bills and expenses thats why i started working now be a find because i can help as well being. As a small town in the indian province of largest town in the northwest. The streets are filled with men going about their business but women on a rest site they traditionally tend to stay in the background. The times are changing and collage is one of the women who represents that change. Shes on a way to work but first drops off a sign six year old chris frank has just started school. For a few years down the larche has had a job at sadhna a cooperative that employs over seven hundred women in the region and uncle depor. The organization teaches the women all the skills they need for the job the close this absolute on line and in a dedicated shop the profits are split their wage isnt based on their working hours but on their output. And i thought settles on that thats a given design is easy to get the work and real fast. On average we get three pieces done a day. Thirty kilometers south of the of our allies a beautiful city of. South thousand quarters are located here as is the shop which. Sells a range of accessories in fabric as well as clothes well yet. This man. Bought it through thirty years now to cooperate to visit neighborhood women in the region to earn their own income as a consequence the women feel more confident about their place in society. The weaker. Involvement comes with Financial Independence and the woman is able to own something and. She has a student in the family otherwise the family members were looking down on our didnt have a say in the family. Didnt didnt really have some of the names they themselves are image of it or that children are striving professional goals like medicine in certain places were finding three generations of women looking at thats. Just how much societys changing can be seen in the town of delgado in the past women of different castes would have never sat next to each other but working together has fostered Mutual Respect and brought more equality without the corporative these women would have most likely never met. How did that video on. The other hand the. Little girl bit thats a damn bad leg and whether i can get work from the outside and work at home in our family were not allowed to go out and work. So we set up this group of family members atoning in order level because initially we were nine of us women then we invited others to join us an obvious seventeen to eighteen. But he argued with a. View of bills that are totally legal and if. You can do would have solved i have come a long way to have Health Insurance coverage and i lived with a bank loans and scholarships for their children and their boss has plans for further improvement she wants a seamstresses to see themselves as entrepreneurs and be open to further education for example starting design and investment that would certainly pay off in the long term. So right now i would say in some ways a state rather there is a stagnant scene it is something designing the mentions have to be robin new well those are dozens of very good in quality and techniques but those designs have to me and them better than the current. Best the market would like to buy. Or you. Expecting the artisans to invest form a zone some everything is always going to be a challenge. Its a challenge that can last for one is ready to embrace she wants to be a role model for children specially her thirteen year old daughter nyssa. And the boost to her mother says belief will help me believe in following her own dreams. She wants to become a doctor one day.
