for you all faucets go with the community find that. i've heard that the system the island is of set up is so efficient that it produces more power than they need not only does this enable them to be carbon negative but also to make a profit by selling energy to the danish mainland. i meeting soren hermanson who heads up the some soup energy and environmental organization. so and finally yeah i heard the rest of you russell yaks with the sea well it's nice that they care for their. electric car. accident. he's taking me on a private to the island. so when they say it's one hundred percent renewable i mean is that like one hundred percent i mean we still have some fossil fuel consumption . tractors are driving we have combustion engine cars also still we export

about eighty thousand megawatt hours every year well you know that's incredible. there are four thousand people on the island over the past twenty years they've moved from a reliance on fossil fuels to wind solar and biomass technologies. from window loan they produce enough energy for themselves and the usage of twenty thousand other homes. so quite why was it and why here are some so acted out of the beginning of it was very interesting because it was a top down decision we had a very ambitious minister of the environment and he announced that then mike would cut down twenty one percent of the of the presidency in two emission once was really interesting because i was the first person i was hired to do this project i remember the feeling that i was sitting down and having the office and i plotted with the telephone and it's a cost of an hour. consecrate. the community here have come

a long way and now boast a carbon footprint of negative twelve tons per person per year to getting to this stage was an easy. people were concerned about the impact of all these big unsee installations on this little island and to convince people that this was good. we started thinking about using the old corporates of ownership model where people can buy and they buy a share. biggest depending on how much money they have and thereby invite them to participate in the ownership so that you feel that i'm part owner of the winter bunch so therefore is it because for me it's there. is no if you get so close to these things oh ya crave imposing i place it no spinning all this oneness there's a service on it. and you know you can really you want to go yes.

right. you are. in the bowels of a ship and when they don't tell you when you're on the ground this is the series a little bit this is a little bit. and you know you first. and then or. where they are. ok this is. oh my. god.

i'm in luck. the team are about to check the generally to. look with speed. limit the interest of ok. oh my goodness sake. ah look at that this is it that's the energy right generated so you get. there up here i'm claiming it can bluff their advice that. there is a. victory for the trio night. daughter and five hundred such thing no. doubt. when power is particularly productive on some soul because of its location in the cat to get straight there live in turbines on land and more and see producing only

islands electricity. oh my goodness. thank you think. when the project started in one thousand nine hundred seven turbines cost more than one million dollars each so four hundred locals got together most buying five shares costing about two thousand dollars. so it's taking me to meet some of the investor. out. russell i'm sore and so on a mission to sort of you can you give us a sense i'm just going on here this is big tournaments this is you know how this season starts. here's a man of only go ok so the little red bull is a pig to try to get as close as possible come on one of.

them. for the competition so you know. i. think you know. russell can you give us a sense of how the community. have responded to this shift to one hundred percent renewable or really tricked me was the fact that people who didn't really speak to each other before i got two girls on. ensues talk to each other and to have a you know i have a calling. oh what brought you to the island did have something to do with the whole kind of one hundred percent renewables is that something you're proud of definitely super proud that's great is it your son. russell and so how do you fit in with this kind of energy landscape that we've been learning about i have been. involved and i have spent

a lot of money also the first that was going to bind on on my farm and everybody could see that. and so have things progress. and so tree is delayed by a half wind turbines undersea so you know to save the world this is this is business of course it is not. a straight smear. the everyone here has their own reasons for buying into the project. and ultimately their investment is good for the planet as it is for their wallets. but is their willingness to collaborate on a common goal lead to some ingenious solutions. come to the local biomass heating plant find out more this is no way expected oh this is the fuel. this plan is one of three on the island only

a straw here's produced locally and fuels a heating system. to spend forty percent less on the bills and they used to. modernise loading on these big bales of hay each one is about just less than a ton so they're going on to a conveyor belt at the end and they're getting dragged in and in here they're getting stranded up and then fed into a blast furnace. so can you tell us is it officially. out of the indeed or do you really. i mean i think. green our first show grouping and presumptious it is a little more. but we do have a shortage of high but even. if we're here. where

the worse is if it gets. that far it's surrounded yeah. the water heated here circulates via a network of underground pipes connecting to radiate is in individual homes in the surrounding area opposite to this with the by putting out this advice. three for a sense. how different. it is our stuff. for the micronutrients and apply. need to survive they say it's really a much more efficient system than is practically carbon neutral as well because the emissions that are created on burning are about the same as the emissions as the carbon is sucked out of the atmosphere when it grows in the first place so it's a pretty neat closed system. so island success is creating not only a green society but a green economy hasn't been lost on the rest of the world. these days they receive

five thousand and eighty two is per year so many that they've set up. and so what is the big idea that draws people from all over the world yeah i think everybody has some kind of. that this is the way to go this is where we want to be in the future but a lot of places they don't know how to handle this how do we do that how to get started in the meaning here is kind of confirming that this is possible we can do this since the project started soren and his colleagues have advice twenty nine countries. alexis the project managers invited me to sit in on a call to a community organizer in hawaii. and i asked what's the most important thing that you can. communicating with the residents here and some so i think the most important. inspiration. and.

the future. that's already doing. so that's the idea to help communities realize their potential and their options and that life. i mean is really quite simple when you think about it you know these guys don't have access to something that the rest of us don't. it's just the fact that they've managed to get everybody together in a circle listen to each other just make it happen. around the world the red vital regions like oceans and dense forests where the earth naturally absorbs and stores carbon. but many of these are under threat drastically reducing the amount of c o two they can sequester. forests for example

being lost due to looking lands clarence's and pollution an area around half the size of england vanishes each year. in southern quebec such as the monitoring the woodlands to learn how forest destruction is impacting carbon storage so trees through photosynthesis take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and turn them into biomass into wood where they're stored as carbon the more carbon that we have stored in biomass in the forests the less carbon dioxide we have in the atmosphere contributing climate change. this research can help guide local conservation strategies and influence town planning to mitigate impact on vital arians.

the thousands of years hindus have been performing the last few hundred rights according to specific religious guidelines including burning the day cremation is the traditional method of disposing of the deceased. but with eight point five million hindus dying each year funeral pyres exact a huge environmental to filling move of fifty million trees emitting eight million tonnes of carbon dioxide into the air and adding to india's already critical air pollution problem. but here in delhi a team often mind mentally conscious engineers has adapted this is your tradition of. imation to today's needs to protect the environment. thank you can both crematorium is the oldest and most sacred of daley's three hundred seventy five open air cremation sites. it's also the busiest cremating

about seventy bodies pretty. it's sinking in now after looking at all these burning bodies and immediately reminded of my own grandmother's passing last year brings up a lot of raw emotions that go with the passing of a love that is a difficult time for families and not particularly a moment when the environment is of primary concern but an organization called mocks the is trying to change all that. you must be untrue yeah i go call uncial guard is an executive officer of the ngo one day mission is about to start and they have just done. the initial. and how long does it keep it it takes about a minimum five to six hours five to six hours i can see your eyes are watering yeah because of the the aleutian and you can see it's stored in

a dark small yeah really dark so this is the actual value then i see there is a little bit more activity now see now the chief more not all the sun he will do the most important part of the commission process he would take this bamboo and he will hear the head of. their discord korea to give salvation to the deceased person. and. everything is part of this time honored tradition. the gods in the open air the mourners get. we're breaking into earth wired to take you live to the indian capital where india's foreign ministry spokesperson is talking about tensions with neighboring pakistan that. were seen by ground forces falling from the sky on the pakistan side in this englishman

we have unfortunately lost one week went to one the pilot is missing in action because one has claimed that he is in their custody we are sort of doing that thank you very much but concludes that we've been. searching remote beginning if you have more information to be sure that you think. so we have been listening there a very very brief news conference from the indian foreign ministry from the indian foreign ministry spokesperson saying that a pilot has been lost in action this does follow what the pakistani government

has been saying that they shot down two indian fighter jets they arrested one indian pilot and another is receiving treatment in a pakistani hospital again all the indian government the indian foreign ministry is saying about this so far is that a pilot is missing in action let's go now to our correspondent affairs jamil who's joining us live from the indian capital new delhi competing narratives on every incident affairs and not a lot from the indian government about what the pakistanis are saying about the two fighter jets that they shot down. well that's correct up until now until we just had the press conference which we just saw we hadn't heard anything officially from the indian government they've been very tight lipped unlike their pockets on the counter parts of oxygen military was a lot more free in the information they were given in fact most of the information confirmation we've gotten has been from locals locals have confirmed that there was

one plane went down outside. the capital of india administered kashmir but there is no confirmation about what type of aircraft it was some reports said it was a jet some reports said it was a helicopter we did get confirmation though from local officials on the ground there that two charred bodies were found also if we had from witnesses have told al-jazeera in the districts of and jory that they saw an aircraft drop bombs in those areas near the border with pakistan as well as an unidentified aircraft had also gone down again since there's no confirmation officials we don't know whose aircraft that was but we're also hearing now that there is a lot of fear and tension in the region people are worried there's been shelling going on which always happens between india and pakistan whenever tensions are this high but residents in the capital local hospital staff have got onto the roof of hospitals and painted the red cross symbols there they're worried there could be

another airstrike and they want to show that hopefully that putting the red cross logo there means they won't become a target right now india's opposition parties are meeting discussing the current situation and that may push the government to release some more statements very soon we know that they have for the meantime that means to fans closed ranks r. and d. in atlanta is that correct. on last count information they have there's three major airports there one in german city one in srinagar and one in late and the last confirmation from the airport authorities of india.
