To save the environment thats what we talk about to. Follow welcome to eco india. Now in this problem with effectively disposing. In fact plenty of studies have been conducted to try and solve it local governments in many cases best practices for communities to adopt so that can be segregated and this could be a neighborhood. On the outskirts of delhi had a better idea than what was suggested by the authorities and today they are breaking move when it comes to Community Waste management. Surrounded by sprawling villas and luxury is geared to communities one of which is 108 acre property of nirvana country and. The complex is home to 900 independent bungalows and gardens but things have not always been rosy. The fact that living in a beautiful human like. The still was. Awful east all around us indifferent you know. And would give us. A 20 minute drive from nirvana country is one of the regions biggest land fields a large part of india as we used ends up and dump sites like this one they often catch fire sending the plumes into the air and the talks a glick weird from the unfiltered rotting waste seeps deep into the ground. Monica refused to accept the poor quality around her community or the poor Waste Management systems she began to think about her role in this and wondered how she could play her part in correcting the course of things. Her citizens want to drink committee 1st approached the Municipal Corporation of course looking for a solution at the time the corporation was flooded with options from vendors selling instant compositors machines that promise to turn organic waste into compost within 24 hours but after a few experiments they were dissatisfied with their results. Since the common 24 posters want exactly working group came up with their own simple system of Community Composting after Much Research the finally decided to use the drum and bin method where every household contributes by 1st segregating their waste at source. Then there is a secondary segregation that happens because sometimes by mistake the residents know something which cannot go into the. Sure though for example sometimes the pieces of plastic and maybe a broken bottle is there so this sift through it and then this week is put in the shadow. The resulting must is mixed in a drum with horticulture waste and a bio enzyme so you get your nitrogen from the kitchen we use to get your carbon from the dry leaves and the bio and same walks like the i salute. The drums of rotated 5 times a day for every nation and to prevent them from smelling finally they are lined with dried leaves and a semi come pasta and left to mature for one and a half months. So this is what has been harvested from the maple bins after we have removed it over the beat of one and a half months and now once if here are 50 it sifted through for mango see then a little bit of plastic that sometimes live to then its just left to mature for another week or so and then it becomes a beautiful come become both that you have seen. A lot she believes change needs to start at home to help get other local residents on board her group holds orientation and Public Awareness sessions for votes residents and domestic helpers along with volunteer home visits from the little gobbets kili that was door with the key but im not home go the hasegawa takes a signal you would think so yeah scandalous sorry no way. Out and all nod say so do good and then it naturally begins i had laid you dont throw any plastic into the green baize no green means didnt do that so its really going to stand on its not much of a problem oh so what i feel the nirvana Community Say is that in the past 4 years they have processed the highest amount of waste of any community in korogocho. Generated close to 250 tons of compost which has been used in my lawn so. And people from outside who are vicious to buy its available and. And also which means that their driveways thats going out close to about 700. 00 pounds has been clean and has been able to go into the recycling stream. The experience of monica community and that of other municipalities in india separating waste at source is a key starting point as well as citizens making collectively informed decisions about dealing with their own waste. Reaping and cities its going to be an enormous task. How do you be possible to keep the cities of the future clean for example people to be c trash and to dirty smelly nuisance but were just has a huge potential smart recycling by turning all into the new can make way for a sustainable circular economy something the netherlands seems to be waving the way for is. Were using Natural Resources at a very fast pace some are finite others renewable but nature cant keep up with us. We also generate vast amounts of Greenhouse Gases cities account for 70 percent of them the dutch capital amsterdam is aiming to create a circular economy by 2050 that involves could tailing the use of new role materials avoiding waste and reusing as much as possible that by slashing emissions. The City Sanitation Department fishes 42. 00 tons of floating plastic trash out of the canals every year a lot more probably gets through. We never got around to ferrets of all the plastic in the ocean actually traveled by our rivers to our sea ocean quite some trying. You see on the street or there this is there and up in this rivers and then of course the rivers floats works to see you so its one of them of transport and Magnus Magnusson plastic pollution and thats why we would really like to stop it there a memory of elaines is behind us start up the great bubble barrier and its in a for to technology heres how it works a tube is laid across the bed of the waterway air is pumped out of holes along it the bubbles drive trash in the water to the surface towards the bank and into a receptacle. Tests have shown that on average 86 percent of the trash in the water can be collected in this way. The garbage that ends up in the container is removed 3 times a week. For now only one bubble barrier has been installed in amsterdam its a Pilot Project but the potential both in the city and world white this enormous. You have multiple sectors that have interest in this for example you can imagine the companies that have a benefit of tourists coming by they want beaches that are in maryland riverside that are claiming they want to have terraces where you can see all nicely on the moment to install such such a system you can you can make it make sure looks nice to visit again the firm has received Financial Support from the government its also working on ways to recycle all the collected trash. Cities also generate lots of waste water as unlikely as it might seem the water flushed down our toilets contains valuable resources that could be retrieved. Scientists in the netherlands have developed a new waste Water Purification system to do just that. One of the end products is a gun they call camera which has many up locations as a. Lou opined an agent in the manufacturing and construction industries. If you want to have a circular sight im sure its that cycle all our waste streams and waste water is a very important waste streams and nowadays what happens if you are in the end produced by a gas whether its with bio gas a relatively low shale you application and producing this got me and i just dont know we can use this going for i feel you applications so what you want to do in the hands of rounds of produce i show you Building Materials for using waste far from. Stunted industrial pleas are made from oil which is not good for the environment. In the new process bacteria purify the waste water. Comair is a side benefit a single plant can produce up to 800. 00 tons of s. A year. In this lab research is a working on new bio degradable materials. They mix cow marrow with recycled toilet paper and various combinations of peach pits and almonds and pistachios shells. So far theyve made great signs and developed architectural cleansing materials made out of 80 percent organic materials. More r. And d. Is needed before this new composite based on cow merit and toilet paper can come to market the prospects look good. For instance tropical hardwoods thats beatable by this material and also a medium and i mean i see huge markets with aluminum has a very very high c o 2 footprint and a good thing of this material if you can beat its all mechanical properties and also your 2 properties you anyway so then the price will be the challenge and i think the upcoming 10 years we will try to replace aluminum by the skull near a composite material. Recycling and up cycling organic waste and construction waste could be a money spinner and would certainly be good for the environment. Spend known as a great place for emissions for recycling for decades its still a long way from achieving a circular economy. The plan is to make that happen by 2050 and ambitious goal for a city to time and to be a pioneer. For the last 15 years an organization in the desert of the largest has been planting at least one tree every day if somebody this is possible they plant trees the next mobilizing a community to restore the trees to the added the region is not the only and it also extends to securing its peoples future and making them climate resilient. The women and children of lumber village in the state of the largest one out by the lake this morning. With all the floating lotus flowers have disappeared and theyve thought of an ingenious way to disperse seeds in the water. If they are finding a doctor she says we can go in because its too deep on and i was so we thought wed make small balls of money with a lot to seed and each and hope they will germinate far out in the. Next year next year it will be full of lotus flowers it will look beautiful and will also be great for the environment but they arent getting able to. Join the local and so on are volunteers with the local n. G. O. S name shriek of the 2 sons tons. Its the young volunteers come together to help green their village and plant saplings countless trees have been cut down as the dejan has developed. The organization was founded by environmental activist vishnu lumber. He planted his 1st sapling when he was 11 and he now spends all his time growing saplings and distributing them across the region. Lumber village has adopted his philosophy and several activities revolve around the love and respect for trees. Today is how the allium of us and i knew in the festival. A procession winds its way through the village to a bow bob tree that stands beside the temple. Of god is believed to reside within it and to grant wishes anything from good health to financial gain. The only other thing he says to this gathering the desert dence of the village sure that commitment to conserving and nurturing mother earth but the sacred tree is more than a plant it is a Guiding Force for us somebody one of our. Trainees are also important for the women of lumber. They have restarted to make plates from the leaves of banyan trees. And sell them to nearby villages where. This is a Traditional Craft that has been neglected for some time with the women say that this is help them economically during the pandemic which has halted some of the other work. Other volunteers spend time weeding and clearing the village of invasive plants. They also replant native species that are important for the ecosystem and have medicinal value. They hope this will help build immunity at this time of danger. People here say their village is greener than others nearby and that they want to keep it that week. Do you want to go like i have a very big aim in life i want to try to transform 100 villages into environmentally friendly smart villages and plant 50000000 trees in my lifetime ive been through all of this were going to learn to. Love village is an example of an anti a community adopting a green way of life. In tune with the way their parents and grandparents once lived. The wind little they pride themselves for their practice of organic farming the Canary Islands but thats the landscape she. Provides exceptional conditions. And a very unique cultivation practice. Even. This is a heady yeah the wine producing region on the island of land so. Vines grow in 3 metre deep craters designed to protect the plants from harsh winds. Wind grower pedro limits and his family have been farming in this land for 3 generations the grape harvest is done entirely by hand the volcanic ash plays a vital role in nursing the plants. Whats important for the harvest is that the volcanic girth mixture stores the committee of the rain for the entire year. Thats why the vines grow so well and are so fresh. Fields used to cover this land until a major volcanic eruption hit the island in 1730 lava skewed for over 6 years destroying the agriculture later it was discovered that the earth here was full of minerals conducive to growing grapes. Ignacio remeron is a qualified biologist for him preserving the traditional methods of farming is the main priority. People had lost most of their land and so what they had to do was to continue surviving and this difficult terrain thats why they started to dig holes knowing that underneath it was part of. Something they planted the blinds in these holes and it turned out to be. And thats in a place where it hardly rains the ash in the stores 150. 00 millimeters of annual rainfall in the service. Each creator can produce up to 20 kilos of grapes or 20 bottles of wine the vines here are all organic some 100 of the 1000 wine growers on the island have abandoned chemical pesticides and instead are focusing on Ecological Methods to protect their crops page ole miss is one of the farmers who receives advice from her marrow on organic farming methods the biologist explains why lime plays an important role. Of serving here is line which in traditional organic agriculture is used to combat caution ill insects symbol of it has traditionally always been used but when people began using chemicals as a pesticide that tradition was largely forgotten. This is organic because what i use is sulphur and line i wasnt getting any results with chemical fertilizer it just didnt work at all so i went back to sulphur which is what my grandparents used to. Monsoreau to enjoy the temperate climate all year round the annual wine harvest here begins at the end of july taking place much earlier than elsewhere in europe farmers offload their grapes to the local wine cellars which in turn produce about 3000000. 00 bottles per year alone number by Industrial Production standards around 75 percent of the wine stems from the mouth of a c. A grape and its sold across the Canary Islands the red and white wines are made for immediate consumption. If you get a wine from lanzarote tail is unique in an outstanding way it comes from a very harsh climate with a lot of wind a lot of dryness a lot of heat and so the vines absorb a lot of intense tropical mineral aromas you know which we then also find and the wine. 250 years of wine making in an unlikely environment. But the traditional method used on mines the road to has proven that it can stand the test of time. The disruption caused by the fact. That we conduct the op is looking into what we can draw from we went to. Make sure the urgency of Climate Change and make the wizard to think about the consequences. Beneath your feet thats literally part of the experience at the down to earth exhibition at the march in gropius bal gather remember them its art you can touch. A real puddle scooped from a privileged street with antarctica on the wall behind some of the very 1st underwater photographs the focus is on the earth and climate and without bright gallery lighting. And the clock says this photo is completely new is that were not using electricity the light is simply the light that comes through the window were not showing any films there are no loud speakers for a few weeks with this project were changing the entire system under which the young normally functions we didnt go anywhere by playing everything were using were using in a sustainable way. Of end of us over and is one of the curators of the show hes an author and man of the theater and director of the berlin effect that puts on arts events including this one. The project explores nature in all its variety as well as threats to nature and the role we humans play in that process of destruction. At the truce in born in Missile Museum in madrid theres a temporary exhibition that tackles pressing questions about how human activity is affecting nature especially the oceans. Its almost going into. War and through that lens you can. Start thinking about what are the main thing a c. M. Is facing you can think about pieces you can feel like theyre wearing the sound were listening now thats a way. The exhibition by joe jonas is called moving off the land to the Permanent Collection also contains paintings from the 19th century that can be seen as a critique of the destruction of nature. Our has never been silent and artists have always been nouns through their warps situation of discrimination sound so sail in. All these kind of problems a long tradition of environmental thinking in art is on display here moving off the land also explores the way phenomena are interconnected across the globe Climate Change is very much connected we now must try with Indigenous People but also weve of the fishing weve seen in india because in the end its all part of a very same system. At the show in berlin visitors can take part in hands on workshops that engage with fundamental ideas behind the project. Theyre going to take a stand im really excited to see how the museum has set up the exhibition its unplugged without artificial lights an air conditioner i think its really important if you. Can you see by the face of the woodworking workshop is also unplugged visitors can try unsustainable building methods without using any power tools. For. 100 years ago everything was done by hand without electric tools we can do the same today its not magic or anything special if you have the time you can do it all by hand. Many different aspects of art come together here but there is a common concern how to strike the right note in the debate about people and the environment. It is a vast problem and a contribution to
