have you want us though, where it was on the lever board, hardy, when describe it over gonna take a little bit to process it way. couldn't have gone better, get my hair. i got mad. we haines, i could fly i be of today. okay, so i was born everything right here and we of course, our top story the, the devastating effect of those tornadoes in central and southern united states. more details on that and a couple of seconds. ah, our top story, this ours been that devastating series of tornadoes. it's richer 6 us states, and what the president joe biden has said is likely to be one of the biggest such outbreaks in the country's history. he is rushing federal assistance to the worst at places like kentucky or the governess as more than 70 people have died. dozens

of fear dead in a candle factory in the town of mayfield. the states governor says it will be a miracle if anyone else is found alive. president biden has called for unity. won't folks from all the states, you know, we're going to get through this for you to get through this together in the federal government is not going to walk away. this is one of those times when we aren't democrats or republicans. sounds like car per board, but it's real. we're all americans. we stand together as united states of america. and so i said all the big function in our prayers and all those 1st responders, emergency personnel and everyone help your fellow americans. and this is the right thing to do with the right time. and we're going to get through this top diplomats from chase 7 countries have been urged to show unity against global aggressors as they meet in the u. k. russia is particularly been singled out by the u. s. in person for massing troops on ukraine's order. the g 7

countries as the world's leading democracies and economies need to come together to advance the frontiers of freedom. we need to show a positive, proactive approach and making ourselves safer, more competitive, and better able to stand up for the values we believe in. we need to defend ourselves against the growing threats from hostile actors. and we need to come together strongly to stand up to aggressors who are seeking to limit the bounds of freedom and democracy. and the palestinians have been voting in many simple elections, choosing representatives for more than a 150 village and local councils across the occupied west bank. a mass which governs the gaza strip, boycotted the vote over the cancellation of national elections. earlier this year. i was the headlines this, our earth rises coming out next informed opinions. there is a need,

fabulous federal government to take action to really facilitate aid to pick right in depth analysis of the data global headlines inside story on al jazeera. ah and since the industrial revolution humans so says of polluting gases have been growing cause machines, food production, construction, these and mold all contribute to the high concentrations of pollutants in the atmosphere. including hob and other greenhouse gases,

which are the biggest drivers of climate change. with the all choices people can make to help drive emissions down. i'm not so read and then marked to meet a community and breath thing in their own green society. and i'm going to trigger within india, where a new method of cremation is helping hindu tradition become more and my and mentally friendly ah, green energy is touted as the future if we want to stop global warming, but pledging a commitment to renewable energy is one thing and doing it is another to just over there on the horizon south. so island now they are officially 100 percent renewable that we have to get all of their energy for renewable sources. so we're going to go over there and meet the community, find out how they did it. i've heard that the system, the island is, is set up, be 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'm meeting saw in hermanson who heads up the some so energy and environmental organization i saw. and finally i learn the u rosalia to with was nice to there for it. electric car accident. he's taken me in a private to of the island. so when they say it's a 100 percent renewable, i mean is that true? like 100 percent by me, we still have some fossil fuel consumption. tractors are driving. we have combustion engine costs also still, but we export about 80000 megawatt hours every year. well now that's incredible. there are 4000 people on the island over the past 20 years. they've moved from

a reliance on fossil fuels to wind solar and bio mass technologies from wind alone. they produce enough energy for themselves and the usage of 20000 other homes . ah, so why? why was it set up and why here on some so i didn't know that the beginning of it was very interesting because it was a top own decision. we had a very ambitious minister of the environment and he announced that they would cut down 21 percent of the of the present c o 2 emission, which was really interesting because i was the 1st person know what hired to do this project. i remember the feeling that i was sitting down and having the, obviously, and i plus in the telephone and said, how, how are we all the community here had come a long way and no bows to carbon footprint of negative 12 tons per person per year

. getting to this stage wasn't easy, people were concerned about the impact of all these biggest installations on this little island and to convince people that this was good. we started thinking about using the old, her corporate have ownership model where people can buy in. they buy a sheer small chair or a lot of biggest yeah, depending on how much money they have and thereby invite them to participate in the ownership so that you feel like i'm, i'm, i'm the pod owner of the wind turbine. so therefore it is because of me, it's death guys. now if you get so close to these things are quite imposing. i boys it know, spinning all this one is the service on it. can we go up and yeah, you can really, you want to go at. yes. yeah. of course. right. yeah,

ah gosh. i've been in the both of a battleship and what they don't tell you when you're on the ground is actually freeze a little bit too. which is a little bit and when you know you 15 is open. hello. a good may 3. okay. those days. okay. mm mm. wow. oh, oh my gosh. it's in laser eye care when i was i mean look the team are about to check the generator.

look the wind speed. okay. and like interest. okay. oh my goodness. wow. you can that. so this is end as the entity right? generated. so you get failure. there are here. i'm climbing is can plaster faster off and go to 3? 09. a wow. wind power is particularly productive on some so because of its location in the car to get straight up there. 11 turbines on land and more and see producing all the islands, electricity needs. oh my goodness. i heard of it.

but when the project started in 1997 turbines caused more than $1000000.00 each. so $400.00 locals go together most buying 5 shares costing about $2000.00. so it's taking me to meet some of the invest in the be nicely russell. i'm sorry, can you give us a sense you know, of the little red bullets pay for trying to get as close as possible and come on the market. oh

hi, i'm russell. can you give us a sense of how the community responded to this shift to 100 percent renewable. but really, to me was the fact that people who didn't really speak to each other before i got together and talk to each other and have you know, have a con oh, what brought you to the island? did it have something to do with the whole kind of 100 percent renewables? is that something you're proud of? definitely. that's great. yeah, yes. hi, i'm russell. and so how do you fit in with this kind of energy landscape that we've been learning, but i have been involved and i spent a lot of money also the search that was i went in on my time and everybody could see that was good. so how things progress and so 3 years later

by a half wind turbines and to see so you know, to save the world. got hostages. i mean, frustrates me is that everyone here has their own reasons for buying into the project. oh. and ultimately, their investment is as good for the planet as it is for their wallets. but is their willingness to collaborate on a common goal is led to some ingenious solutions come to the local biomass heating, trying to find out more. this is not why spectra. oh, this is the fuel. this plan is one of 3 on the island. all astro hears produce locally and fuels. a heating system that allows locals to spend 40 percent less on her bills than they used to. though then i'm floating on is

playing fails of hey, it's one is about just less than a tongue. so they're going on to convey about the end and they're getting dragged in and in here the gang shredded up and fed into a blast furnace. so can you tell em efficient showerhead kill how the indian oh really. wow. i mean like say 10 green, mcpherson. chevry pain, presumption, it is a long oil fur standard of 0, which i go forward with the, with a short ohio or even shooter. make one off in order here where the water is it that it was brought around in the water, heated here circulates via a network of underground pipes. connecting to radiate is an individual homes in the

surrounding area. as to this of the byproduct this, i don't route 3 for thank a mike who knew the plants need to survive. maybe it's really a much more efficient system than is practically carbon neutral as well. because the mentions that are created on burning, but the same as the emission that says the carbon is the atmosphere when it grows in the 1st place. so it's a pretty neat, consistently. ready ready ready ready from so island success, creating not only a green society, but green economy hasn't be lost on the rest of the world. and these days they receive $5082.00 as per year. so many that the set up an energy accountant. and so what is the big idea that draws people from all over the world?

yeah, i think everybody has some kind of intuition that this is the way to go. this is where we want to be at, in the future. but a lot of places they don't know how to handle this. how do we do that? how do we, how to get started? and the meeting here is kind of confirming that this is possible. we can do this since the project started soren and his colleagues have advised 29 countries. alexis, the project manager, has invited me to sit in on a call to a community organizer in l y. i can i ask, what's the most important thing that you get out of communicating with the residents, you and some so i think the most important thing we get is inspiration, support and hope for something better for the future is saying it's all we're doing. yeah. so that's the idea to help communities and realize their potential and their options and fly.

ah, i mean, it's 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, sit around in a circle, listen to each other, and just make it happen. why? i round the wilds, the rad vital regions, like oceans and dense forests, where the earth naturally absorbs and store was carbon. but many of these are under threats drastically reducing the amount of c o 2. they can sequester forests, for example, a being los g to looking land clearances and pollution. an area around half the

size of england vanishes each year. in southern quebec were such as a monitoring the woodlands to learn how far is destruction is impacting cobb and storage. so threes through photosynthesis, take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and turn them into bio mass into wood, where they're stored as carbon, the more carbon that we have stored in bio mass in the forests, the less carbon dioxide we have in the atmosphere contributing to climate change this for such can help guide local conservation strategies and influence town planning to mitigate impact on vital areas. ah, the thousands of years hindus have been performing the loss funeral rights according to specific religious guidelines,

including burning the dead cremation is the traditional method of disposing of the disease. but with 8500000 hindus dying, you cheer. funeral pyres exact, a huge environmental to felling over 50000000 trees, emitting 8000000 tons of carbon dioxide into the air and adding to india's already critical air pollution problem. but here in delhi, a team of environmentally conscious engineers has at, after this age old tradition of cremation, to today's needs to protect the environment. nigga booth crematorium is the oldest and most sacred of daily's. 375 open, i have cremation sites or got. it's also the busiest cremating about 70 bodies, but it did it sinking him now. looking at all these

burning bodies am immediately reminded of for my own grandmother's passing last year brings up a lot of roy motions that go with the busing of a little bit is a difficult time for families and not particularly a moment when the environment is of primary concern but an organization called monster is trying to change all that you must be unco. yeah. i, i go co until god is an executive officer at the n g o. so one for my son is about is sorry. they have just then and will cogney the initial learning about the buyer . and how long does it keep? ah, it takes about a minimum 5 to 6 hours, 5 to 6 hours. i can see your eyes are watering. yeah, because of the volition. and you can see it stored li dogs smoke. yeah. really, dogs. and so this is the actual pollard and i see that is a little bit more activity now. see now the chief more not all the son. he will do

the most important part of the emission process. he will take this bamboo and he will hit the head of a dead person there despite cabal korea to give salvation with a deceased person. every thing is part of this time on a tradition. the got cindy open air, the mourners gathered around the body. even the use of wood is significant, but it's also a major contributor to the environmental problem. all of this is the wood that they've gathered here, which gets chopped up into smaller pieces. as the day goes on and as they get orders and as body start coming in, they have this massive weyerhaeuser which will avoid normal is carried yeah,

the charge. so give you a family just that i had with the deceased and i'm told they purchased the car load full afford, which was 400 cases. the 400 is here and then this is the change i didn't make. if not, let me just hang on for good on. that would've been moody body's also done a down to 100 quintal switches. $20000.00 kilo's of would goes through this area. i just cannot begin to imagine the magnitude of the problem facing us. then extrapolate this for the rest of india. no one data forests disappeared. as early as the 1960s, the indian government recognized the environmental impact of cremation. and they tried to address the problem by introducing an alternative method. for this is

misty angio gas based against mr. williams, this is for leads to port the guardian say this type of cremation only cost $10.00, which is less than half the cost of a traditional $1.00. even still did a few takers. the main problem is the people you cannot perform the read to us. there is no use of gordon and once the bodies are inside, you can do anything. you just have to sit like that. and after 2 hours or 3 hours, you've been big the ashes and then you can go back. i mean, i have to say this place looks really grim and industrial. there's nothing absolutely nothing traditional about this. even with the best government, subsidized intentions, gas and other forms of more environmentally friendly methods of cremation. haven't caught on dr. harvey sing. a sociologist of funerary rituals has some thoughts on the subject of february. why exclamation such an important

element in hindu tradition. it comes from the scriptures. ah, one of the most important and central ways to sort of think of cremation is to begin to think about the dead person himself or herself participating individual, as our sacrifice we've seen would being used in the cremation at this side. is that an important and integral part of commission as well in the end? yes, up. so would john to vicki is very significant to fire is an aesthetic that is seen with a certain degree of grace. so that would explain the reluctance that hindus exhibit in trying and adopting alternate to ways of agreement. i would think that it is part of a certain kind of artifacts. feet that you, you do. what are you have been doing? and this is very difficult to shed. in case of death rituals,

university indians might be resistant to change when it comes to saying good bye to loved ones. but the environmental impact of 3 mation can no longer be ignored. as india's population approaches as staggering 1300000000 more debts and more cremation, only spell further and man mental problems for the living. this is why most up until the organization has come up with a more ecological friendly system, which balances the environment with tradition. so what's going on here are they're preparing a fire for, misunderstand i forgot about the use only one feet of $200.00 videos for one reason. instead of $400.00 k d, the next one, the hub,

using less would also means this system cost less than a traditional cremation. this method allow for the traditional rituals to be performed the same way as a conventional fire might yes, definitely with w w god. and this system we are using on the board and what there were things people generally use in a vanessa system only. so there is no deviation in that. it was which we follow. now that the bodies in there and they have no idea how it work on know basic principles of science. we have increased the combustion efficiency by providing blah. but in that is through the, to me and the hood. for when more oxygen is coming in the combustion and present the increases food in green go to heat energy in this amazing process, get so within 2 hours, most of system has been around for 15 years,

a tiny amount of time when it comes to taking on a centuries old tradition, but mourners are now beginning to consider it seriously. promote has just cremated his father. you do, you have to have no mock stuck or if a thing a year offer, but i guarantee up elephant and lima about it when you pay the highest buddy, a travel with her. so, total under color key. if you want us to locate rosters or you better postman left click on upload, there's a federal state that he gets older eco cremation pies currently host up to 70 cremation. to d at this site. it's still much less than the traditional ones. but until lance, to open 60 more sites in 10 indian

it's really brought it home to me that the balance between sensitivity to death, loss and tradition and the immediacy for the need to protect the environment is a rather delicate one. as someone who cares about the environment deeply myself, i know we have a long way to go. however, it also hardens me to find groups such as much that we're finding alternatives that are starting to have a real impact. now she, that's a choices hold the key to reducing global emissions in spain as a company. how can the own as a cause passes and learning to cancel out their emissions by growing gardens on the top of that vehicle and northern hollands,

a pilot project to turn 70 meters of bike paths into solar roads, is creating enough and activity to power 3 households for one year, projects like is offer different options so that individuals in communities can reduce the impact of human activity on our planet. there's a lot more into al jazeera than t v with our website mobile app, social media, and podcast out is there a digital is a world award winning online content, and each week on portal will bring you the very best of it. they're trying to brighten the people to leave it to go somewhere else. the truth is that it got nowhere else to go. so if you missed it online, catch it here with me sound gotten on al jazeera. from the al jazeera london broke authenticate to people in thoughtful conversation with no host and no limitation of
