tv   earthrise Winds Of Change  Al Jazeera  July 2, 2023 4:30am-5:01am AST

4:30 am
it out is a well exclusive regional event, people and forces to check the deck in our dreams. when many we start to with great dreams, ended up with sense the 2nd time the sixty's in the, our politics on now to 0 party question. what do you see? right, well, let me see if i can change or think if they didn't notice for everybody has different thinking desktop space on the right. we want to do the best for children of this area. every time i see these kids just bring me right back and i couldn't control things. i was like those kids stuff. me. what is the idea? think protected. well, maybe it's a brand name for something free. putting yourself in a person's shoes. so as you can see from a different angle, can you boys much what sonic i talk to, but in hard to control anger,
4:31 am
putting him against the, for any i scream and did a poem that them angrily picture years. this scroll for the children were thinking of, i'm thinking and that's why i want for the since the industrial revolution, human soul says of polluting gases happening, growing cause machines, food production,
4:32 am
construction. these and more all contribute to the high concentrations of pollutants in the atmosphere. including comp and other greenhouse gases, which is the biggest drivers of climate change. without all choices people can make to help drive admissions down. i'm just to read in denmark mir community and 1st thing in the own green society. and i'm going to check her with pain in the last new method of to mation is helping him to tradition become more environmentally friendly. the, the green energy is totaled as the future if we want to stop global warming, but pledging a commitment to renewable energy is one thing doing. it's another just over there on the horizon itself. so i like that. they are officially 100 percent renewable.
4:33 am
that means to get all of their energy for renewable sources. so we're going to go over there and meet the community. find that i've heard that the system, the island is set to be so efficient that it produces more power than they need. not only does this enable them to be carbon negative, also to make a profit by selling energy to the danish mainland meetings, or, and herman cindy who heads up some suit energy and environmental organization. so, and finally, the you, russell. yeah, so it was nice today. beautiful, it it, yeah. electric car accident. these taken me in a private to the island. so when they say it's a 100 percent renewable, i mean is that true? like 100 percent? i mean we still have some fossil fuel consumption to attracts us driving. we have
4:34 am
combustion engine costs also still, but we export about $80000.00 megabyte out every year. wow. that's incredible. and there are 4000 people on the island. and over the past 20 years, they moved from a reliance on fossil fuels to wind, solar and biomass technologies. from wind alone, they produce enough energy for themselves and the usage of 20000 other homes the so why, why was it set up and why here on some so i couldn't at the beginning of it was very interesting because it was a top our own decision we had a very ambitious minister of the environment and he announced that then mike would cut down 21 percent of the of the present c o 2 emission. which was really interesting because i was the 1st person that was hired to do this project. and i remember the feeling that i was sitting down and having to obviously,
4:35 am
and i plugged into the telephone and i said the customer now. however, we could stick with because the communities you had come a long way, no boost. the carbon footprint is negative 12 tons per person per year. the getting to the stage was an easy people were concerned about the impact of the all these vacancies installations on this little island. and to convince people that this was good. we started thinking about using the old corporate of ownership model where people kind of buying they buy us. yeah. a small share, a lot of biggest. yeah. depending on how much money they have and they're buy, invite them to participate in the ownership. so do you feel that i'm, i'm, i'm the proud owner of the winter months. so therefore it's, it's, it's because of me, it's death, a small if you get so close to these things, people here quite imposing. i was it know, spinning all of this one. is this the service on it?
4:36 am
can we go off and yeah, you can really, you want to go at yes. of course. right. the for the both of us. and well, they don't tell you when you're in the grand, this actually stories a little bit too, which is a little bit and you know, your 1st thing is how are you good mastery. okay. those days. okay. mm wow. oh my gosh. there susan ways or more
4:37 am
or i mean look the team are about to check the generally to the look the wind speed. okay. like interest. okay. oh my goodness. give that. so this is it. best be energy, right? is it so you can see the 0 here i'm climbing is getting faster, faster the wind power is particularly productive on some suited because of its location in the
4:38 am
cap to get streets. they are living turbines, on land, and more on sea could using only islands electricity needs of the when the project started in 1997 turbo, things cost 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 nice me, i'm russell. i'm sorry. so a nice meeting to sort of you can you give us a sense what's going on here? heard them and tell them this is the you know, of the season sounds as among the okay, so let me read well it's a page to kind of get as close to it as possible. come on the
4:39 am
go on something that is basically the number i'm russell. can you give us a sense of how the community and i have responded to this shift to 100 percent renewable. but really it took me was the fact that people who didn't really speak to each other before i got together and, and says talk to each other and to have it. you know, how that kind of go to. 2 what brought you to the island? did it have something to do with the total kind of a 100 percent renewables? is that something you're proud of? definitely so, but that's great. is it? yeah, and yes. hi, i'm russell. and so how do you fit in with this kind of energy landscape that we've
4:40 am
been learning, but i have been way parts involved and i have spent a lot of money also the 1st ed was i wouldn't have, i'm on more time. and everybody could see that, but it's a good business. hosting's progressive, there's a lot going on. and so 3 years later i buy a half wind turbines, undersea. so you don't have to save the world. this is a, is this business. got cost to just don't get me frustrates me is everyone here has their own reasons for buying into the project. and ultimately do investment is good for the planet as it is for their wallets. but it's their willingness to collaborate on. a common goal is led to some ingenious solutions come to the local biomass heating, trying to find a more system way slick to that. uh oh. this is the few this
4:41 am
plan is one of the 3 on the island oldest ro hughes produced locally and fuels a heating system that loves low cost to spend 40 percent less on their bills than they used to. autumn is loaded on a freight bales of hay. each one is just less than a ton, so they're going on switching variable at the end and they're getting dragged in. and in here they're getting shredded up and then fed into a blast furnace. so can you tell us then, is it efficient? so ahead of q. how does the in the the order really i mean 10 grease artifacts. chevy. pain for so i'm sure you know more good. i send read them 0 or the side of the blue. see what they show us any higher even to, to make one where it is here. where is it?
4:42 am
yeah. florida, it's around the world to heated here, circulates via a network of underground pipes, connecting to radiators and into the 2 homes in the surrounding area. our office to this is a by product this i 3 for row since highland, 38, a partial said chatting to the mike to new to into the front seat. this device is really a much more efficient system, then is practically called a new to as well because the machines that are created to fund burning. uh, but the same as the admission. it says the carbon is sucked out. they haven't squared when it grows in the 1st place. so it's a pretty neat consistency. ready ready ready ready samsung island success of creating the only a green society, a green economy has to be lost on the rest of the world. and these days they will
4:43 am
see $5082.00 is per year. ready so many that the set up energy academy as well as the big idea that draws people from all over the world. yeah. i think everybody has some kind of situation 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 do we get started in 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 hawaii. can i ask, what's the, the most important thing that you get of uh, communicating with the residents here on some so i think the most important thing we get is inspiration support and the hope for something better for the future.
4:44 am
he said it was saying, yeah, that's what we're doing. yeah. so that's the idea to help communities realize their potential and their options and a slice. the, 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 doing is just the fact that they managed to get everybody together. sit down in a circle, listen to each other, just make it happen the around the world to the run by 2 regions like oceans and dense forests, whether or not to leave, so, and stores comp and which many of these are under threats drastically reducing the
4:45 am
amount of c o 2, they can sequester forests, for example, of being loss due to looking land clearances and pollution. an area around half the size of england. spanish is each year in southern quebec, such as the monitoring the woodlands to learn how far as destruction is impacting comp and storage. so threes through photo synthesis takes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and turn them into bio mass. so into wood, where they're stored as carbon, the more carbon that we have stored in bio mass in the for us, the less carbon dioxide we have in the atmosphere contributing this research can help guide local conservation strategies and influence tom planning to mitigate impact on vital areas the
4:46 am
to thousands of us hindus have been performing the last $200.00, right, according to specific religious guidelines, including learning the day i cremation is the traditional method of disposing of the dc liquid $8500000.00 hindus vein each year. funeral pyres exact, a huge environmental feeling over 50000000 trees, imaging 8000000 tons of carbon dioxide into the air and adding to india as already critical air pollution problems the but yet, in delhi, a team of environmental countries, engineers has adapted this age or tradition of cremation, to produce needs to protect the environment the, you can both gymatorium is the oldest and most sacred of the least 375 open air
4:47 am
cremation sites, or got. it's also the busiest to meeting about 70 bodies. it's thinking in now looking at all of these binding bodies, i'm immediately reminded of my own grandmother's passing last year brings up a lot of really emotions that go with the busing for love. that is a difficult time, some families, and not particularly a moment in the environment as a primary concern. but an organization called amongst the is trying to change on that. you must be unsure. yeah, i go cuz bunches. guy is an executive officer at the n g o. one for my son is about to start. they have just then and was having the initial uh, lading above the fire. and how long does it keep uh, it takes about uh, minimum 5 to 6 hours, 5 to 6 hours. i can see your eyes are watching. yeah. because of the,
4:48 am
the pollution. and you can see it started the dogs more. yeah, it really ducks. so this is the extra involved and i see that is a little bit more activity now. see now uh the chief load metal. the son he will do the most important part of the commission process. he will take this bamboo and he will hit the head of the dead person. there it is for the bottom clear to give subdivision with a deceased person. everything 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 word that
4:49 am
they've gathered here, which gets chopped up into smaller pieces. as the day goes on and as they get orders and as bodies start coming in, they have this massive weyerhaeuser which is coverage. yeah. the charge still gives you a family just added with the deceased. and i'm told that they purchased a car load for a fluid which was 400 kids. the 400 is here. and then this was the change. so didn't make it sound like the, the thing offers. who do i put it in? moving around $200.00 printers, which is $20000.00 kilo's, a foot goes through this area. i just cannot begin to imagine the magnitude of the problem facing us in the next step relate this to the rest of india is no wonder for us to disappear as early as the 19 sixty's,
4:50 am
the indian government recognized the environmental impact of cremation. and they tried to address the problem by introducing an alternative method. so this is the san diego gas base human over there and gas, vist inventory in the fall leads to port authority and say this type of commission only costs $10.00, which is less than half the cost of a traditional one evens to fit. a few takers, the main problem is the people you cannot perform the, the tools. there is no use of board and wants to bar the 2nd side. you can't do anything. you just have to say like this enough, that was the 3 of us. you've been big be ashes, and then you can go back. i mean, i have to say this place looks really grim, an industrial. there's nothing absolutely nothing traditional about this. even with the best government, subsidized intentions,
4:51 am
gas and other forms of more environmentally friendly methods of cremation. haven't caught on doctors. are these things associated with just a funeral? either choose, has some thoughts on the something that's going to be? why is cremation such an important element? in hindu tradition, it comes from the scriptures, uh, one of the most important and sensual reese to sort of think of cremation, is to begin to think about the dead person himself or her says, participating individual, as our sacrifice we've seen, wouldn't been used in the commission of this site is that an important an integral part of commission as well? yes, up so would join the vicki is very significant. the buyer is an s headache that is seen with a certain degree of grace. so that would explain the reluctance that hindus exhibit
4:52 am
in trying and adopting alternative ways of actually maybe i would think that it is part of a certain kind of artifact. see that you, you doing what you have been doing? and this is very difficult to said. in case of that search was university indians might be of assistance 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, as population approaches a staggering 1300000000 more dates and more cremation, only spelled further in mind mental problems for the living. the . this is, i'm most anxious organization has come up with a movie, can logically friendly system which balances the environment with tradition. so
4:53 am
what's going on here by f 150 to 200 videos for one person. instead of $100.00 gauge using using less would also means the system cost less than a traditional cremation. this method allow for the traditional ritual is to be performed the same way as a convention of 5 might to just been this system. we're using one of the things people generally use in the system only. so there is no dev you send in the, the, to us, which we follow. now that the bodies in there and they have no, but yeah, it's work on the basic principles of things. we have to increase become percent
4:54 am
efficiency by providing but i'll put in that is through that to me and then model design is coming in the combustion efficiency increases. food in please go to heat energy in this prospect. so over than 2 of us, most of the system has been around for 15 years, a tiny amount of time when it comes to taking on a centuries old tradition. with one is a now beginning to consider serious a mode as discriminated as father. you do. you have to have no more in the country if a thing a year from a bad yankee off, and this is on fitting the highest buddy they sent me a chance to to, to the end of color. that key is a fuel in q. i said that i can last is that the best that applies the additional federal eco cremation. pi is currently host up to 70 nations
4:55 am
. at the, at this site it's still much less than the traditional one function plants to open 60 more sites in 10 in the, in the it's really brought it home to me. the balance between sensitivity to death, loss and tradition, and the immediacy for the need to protect the environment. is it other than a good one? as someone who cares about the environment deeply myself, i know we have a long way to go. however, it also happens me to find groups such as motion, well, finding alternatives that are starting to have it in the back. the the, that's a choice is hold
4:56 am
a team to reduce in cloud permissions and spain as a company, how can the own as a cause, buses and laureen to cancel out their emissions by growing god and on the top of the vehicle at the northern holland, a pilot project $1017.00, meet us, a flight costs into solar roads is creating enough electricity to power $3.00 households for one year. purchase like the is offered different options so that individuals and communities can reduce the impact of human activity on the way through which you can calculate it. australia, the wilderness promotion, design good device, retraces the balance between endangered wild life and then your neighbors that sets the forest right there. and there's nothing between the how you have
4:57 am
a human habitat hunting to live together on how to 0. how many people here have seen a tiger? really? july on, i just think goes to the post office, the local election, sort of shift to the right to the country with this another here with the info, right? government 11 piece meets the indian women, breaking down gender barriers as they fight to become jumped in. since peter's, the coast african need is from across the continent as well. so seeks to strengthen relations with the region. people in power focuses on somalia as a fight for survival. as years of draft and hom conflict have combined to create humanitarian disaster. as to security becomes an increasing global concern. the united nations launches were quote, examining food crises and tongue around the world. to live on a jersey to the
