Some of them are good and to be happy to welcome you to the 100 of india we want to have a look back at some of our favorite stories and change me and without a doubt. One such. Successfully revived polluted link in her neighborhood lets look back at how she did it. Moving. Like. It took. About 10 years to rescue and revive a neighborhood leak in the south of bangalore. It was not actually a choice because. From my balcony i could see the sleek and it didnt at all know clegg wanted to see. Today it was a dying me and i felt that. Levi and loudly to die before my eyes then i am popular spawn to my life. With the help of neighbors and the Larger Community radical cullen urged the civic authorities to invest in the revival of put in a wholly. New they agreed on the condition that its maintenance would be up to its citizens. In 2010 rajagopal and pooled in money to form a Lake Improvement trust with like minded citizens and experimented with innovation based on simple science. They used discarded b. V. C. Types to create a number of artificial floating islands. We did our own research on how to improve the quality of the walk done to be zoned in on this principle of hydroponics very you have people growing money planting bottles of water basically the job being the nutrients from the water so we extended that into making this what we call the artificial floating islands. These islands i made up of plastic bottles that have several species of bio food to plants growing in them. 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 vegetation that eventually deplete the oxygen by 6 feet and say we have nothing in the field because this is. Only 6 months after introducing the islands. Noticed a significant improvement in the condition of the lake. But. You didnt even need to test the water to see that that the quality was improving because we could see the big bad you can see fish and the birds were coming 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 and received low rainfall. In fact remain the primary source of water for early 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 former glory of that citys beautiful lakes. We are constantly having these programs all to bring the Community Together to this lake to make them understand that this lake is important not only that it is recharging the water all the trees are given and seeing the green color and the people can see a difference and hed love to come here on the time but it is no freebies you have to contribute something to. Put out a good palin continues to ensure that her Community Works to keep the lake alive. Bringing back a leak to life in. Our reporter caught up with him to find out if anything has changed in the 2 years and working some will to meet and to continue the crusade. Its on a 0 again so does was the biggest reaction to the just the mission of it. Ever since your story came out he started getting calls from a grass in different parts of india after there was somebody over there were some. Of the dish so its very exciting because now people like being busy theres an extraordinary about me and my friends. They might not even do it and for all i know it will be much better so when you say their lives in bangalore are deceiving more attention what is been happening in bellews at the handlebar im not sure of the number hes its essentially. And we have how do good relations links i now that we are actually we want to go down a document on how who are rejuvenating elise and what about how to meet the need to. Be active participation our people and that. I think elise whatever leaks are the number leaves that still left. But what are your plans for the future. I will then we give you a lot more so there uselessly libel nasa i mean the leak now i see potential for a lot more birds and. I think ive been very happy. So i. Will soon. Again. And how you were judged my. Only. That will be well worth it because what we have also been telling the other generation is that they lead 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 thats the way i would like to thank you so much for your time. Success story definitely shows us how much a community can achieve together 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 we produce even more energy than me. 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 paterniti centralized fashion and its then made available to others fire the grid. Delegations from the places around the world marked by flags who have come to inspect this revolutionary village. They usually. 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 the consumer of course it has to make economic sense. Another father of the green revolution of paul street is from dillon. Hes a farmer who started experimenting with Renewable Energy and the 1990 s. He soon won over his fellow villagers and set up a wind farm cooperative. Knew that 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. I know 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 from 20 nearby farms. They replace 700000 liters of heating oil a year. 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 village pot sleet could also be generated in other communities districts and states. 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. The zalman company until ports failed 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 amber varia could inspire other people across germany and in other countries. Examples like bees are proof that change is not only possible but its important now i would like to bring you back story especially close to my heart or your reporting about the Women Farmers in the way that what engine of western. Land from the end says still farm land things women will revolutionary and now during the pandemic theyre probably the best family dog. The women of bobbie 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. Ago in the region of. Bobby is one of the harshest places in india to be a farm 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. Me to concentrate on cash crops like sugar cane and so have been the money he earned was always ploughed 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 support 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 get her. 3 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 many men have always had to work as farm laborers 70 percent of the men farmers today do all the work in the not as Decision Makers but as helpers. Its funny i know that now that im a little i. Could overheads the local wing of so i am should shown a womens Empowerment Organization that has helped many women assert themselves. But im quite a lot. Of. Other person. Who the idea to empower women came after a startling revolution in 2009 many of them were severely malnourished. I mean. An event he conducted a medical camp to test the level of him a little being in the vehemence and he realized that it was very you know. That made about one of the very men present it said that in rural families women traditionally serve the men 1st and then. What is left and sometimes its nothing at all i do. Not have that camera has im not. So the one acre model of women led 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 minimise water use this reduces their reliance on store bought produce. The one acre model has improved our general status not only within her family but also within the community. Actually we need to prove our worked to ourselves if you want our families to believe in our ability now that i am successful my family consults me about every major decision that needs to be taken. With us. In the drought prone maroc for a village and more than 41000 Women Farmers now practiced the one acre. But the fight for womens rights is far from over. In a deeply Patriarchal Society only 10 percent of women or of one acre farm as are china and the now do. Women farmers have been silly and built into them even many talk to them about big problems like the devastating effects of the changing climate undaunted over the last 2 years spoken a lot about Climate Change and driving temperatures as an equal india you must have experienced the fluctuating extreme weather patterns to a city in space and now come up with solutions to tackle it and there are replicable across europe and india. Cradles between lush ills and the Mediterranean Sea boss alona is a 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 as well. Its a very ambitious plan that will take a lot of effort but local residents will benefit from these green spaces which will also help absorb pollutants and regulate temperatures that have been. 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. A key player in the strategy to ease the effects of Climate Change will be an increase in the number of vertical gardens and the fountains of rooftops there were once a place where neighbors would meet to dry their clothes and have a chat for one better novel martine they are a game changer. But there look at the government they get in a tussle but buzz along as infrastructure is already built so it would be hard for us to fit in new god in this now were. Going out terraces rooftops and facades are some of the only opportunities that are left for us as a city. But the city authorities 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 the new trees and the terrace garden and theyve developed a real crisp back to full nature. That. You need to take care of plants because they also have feelings and thoughts. You shouldnt kill plants because it just doesnt well it just doesnt make sense this is the problem they taught me about the different types of plants. And how you need to take care of them. For having a lot of fun here its Little Wonder with a so much to explore and the extra bonus of harvesting fresh food with no travel miles attached which is good for air quality. Barcelona is a 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. This is about creating resilient 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 him and. Bringing nature to barcelona is a huge undertaking but it will encourage plant and animal species to make the city center their home. Sitting around the world barcelona by a lot of time money and effort when it comes to their Development Rural populations on the other hand often get a raw deal the next story i want to bring back is one. Of our community of traditional camel herders refusing to give up on its all joined lightly what i was finding. Alternatives and one just but. This region is indias largest solidly and home of the kind i cam of. Their diet includes various plants shrubs and mangroves. The old mild hardy as the heart of that called out traditional pastoralist believe on the camels using them for transport or by selling them. But today those livelihood is threatened the once thriving mangrove forests are fast disappearing giving way to thought dance for big manufacturers. The man groups are much closer to us earlier use a tick tick a moose or to greece and be back within an hour and there were many wanted out on about 30 on the megas about but now we need to go 6 to 7 kilometers deep into the desert to look for the grazing ground either by the united im going to read about them now with or limited on that i dont but a song for direction and processing is trying or to my groves. Sort of what i am going to. Do that i was going to. In 2011 with the help of a local ngo the camel herders organize themselves into the catch. To fight for their rights over the years they have filed a case in the National Dream tribunal a special court that deals with the cases related to and via mental issues to disallow Salt Manufacturers from operating in the region and ensure better implementation of the conservation plan of the highly threatened. In 2013 together with the ngo they came up with an idea to secure their livelihood. For years they only used family wolf for their own needs to make feed rests while 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 conserve the carrier. Is a matter of pride. And it is in relief and shared for this one doesnt require any sort of. Let a lot of chemical dying process that is already available in maybe a few and there is a possibility of getting a very beautiful product out of this. This one who has. The engineer come here has been helping the holders of catch to set up. Assembly line process the gammas are sheared once a year just before the regions harsh Summer Season occur a camel produces about 300 grams to 5 kilograms of wool by year depending on its age thats enough to provide a viable source of income to the camel herders. The women are spending the shared will in the whole community is involved in the processing of shearing the wool spinning began and weaving the cannot. Today there are only 6000. 00 carry camels in the couch dejan but with the camel herders taking a big step towards reinventing their Traditional Craft and fighting against the father spread of the salt industry a Sustainable Future for both the camels and their herders might be possible. Adaptability has begun by will acquire to me by so many communities who stand in the frontline of our fast changing climate hopefully we reminded you of some stories that you like next week well be back with the topics that is what you think and write to us at equal india added up in daughter got until then stay safe and they good care of yourself but i. To go beyond the obvious. That. As we take on the moral of. The beer are all about the stories that matter to you country like what ever the same economic commitment. Made for minds and literature invites us to see people in particular. To see myself as the kids. Growing up her. Might. Be books on youtube.
