asked everyone and me too but. not all wacko water is equally dangerous. there's junkie you see it will move south so they can plant crops and find food. floods and droughts when climate change becomes the main driver of mass migration you can write any kind of peace not if you want and probably most of them to come to. the climate exodus starts april thirtieth on t.w. . hello welcome to eco a sustainability magazine interview suit to change make us people like you and i while making a real difference for a cleaner greener i'm sun coming to you from blue by in india on this week's shore

let's look at how a group of fishermen in bristol in india by learning sustainable techniques to save their livelihood. how the indian concept of jugaad is working for frogs. and how you can have your coffee and eat it too. but first let's look at the story you from a group of resolute fishermen invest in india oyster farming in the country is very hard work the families whose livelihood depends on it will tell you that they have to stand in a muddy creeks and under the scorching sun for all workers to bring back a small catch but a simple innovation has changed the lives of these families in the bartok that a bitch. about the women of the small village of about their own and yes west coast busy

stringing together or oyster shells. for generations members of this fishing community toiled for long hours only to return with the minimal catch. all the hard work did little to improve their family's incomes. so why did i feel that when i me earlier used to go to the shore and collect naturally formed oysters in the creek now i've used to earn very little money. and always just would only be collected for about eight days a month and our hands and legs were up all these truths to our backs he was too hard the sun was under length into little level. rising temperatures and increasing the later rainy season so the men's catch is

constantly drained. so the women look for ways and means to maintain their family's livelihoods in turn two thirteen they were approached by the united nations development program with a plan that would simplify their lives by enabling them to farm oysters in the creek behind their homes. they were promised training and funds and asked to form a self-help group. but. who were. present the women self-help group was formed after much opposition and coaxing. just first said we are not interested in this and this is the job. we put up the band was struck in october going to thirteen and he was certain that this wasn't

going to walk out of the looks of the loves us give me some people used to laugh at us and see. awestruck just what you are determined to see this process took us the episode the decided that we would treat this like a game and that's how we started. the women quickly took to oyster farming after the simple demonstration. they also learnt that the oysters in the creek feed on plankton and waste and keep the water clean which no need for supplementary feed it's one of the cheapest and most environmentally friendly options in coastal areas. to begin with the women strung up four hundred fifty ropes on bamboo frames in the creek. the ropes are threaded with empty

oyster shells oyster spats are very common in the vote out that creek. over time the spats attach themselves to the empty shells within twelve to fourteen months they grow to become commercially viable oysters producing a bumper crop for the farmers. the initial investment of about seventy five euros to buy bamboos and ropes returned eight times that amount and the project has been replicated in other regions across the west coast. in size as they. i mean much about a good way to much because you don't want to define love mother i used to work at the fish market to sell my catch my friends there they would tell me custody guy we saw you for doing the newspaper and heard about the success of your project but it was a tell us about it like i said you can do it do what you need to form

a self-help group to be part of the project which of the. moment i had a muslim brother the two out of the said groups in my fish market alone i thought you should also benefit from this just like we did. the zamalek that was in well this is. much of india's coastline is well suited to oyster growth the demand for them is still minimal oysters are the least common shellfish on the menu in india only eaten by coastal communities this attitude changes very slowly. they only earn a few rupees poised but the money provides the women at least with essential savings and they share the profits amongst themselves at the end of the yeah. the women of what i thought out among the first oyster farmers in the state of maharashtra and they're putting paid to many gender stereotypes.

that joe was. there mr tallboys they ended up the only husbands used to own a money and they used to handle part of it to us we had to manage everything with that amount what we had to think about the kids then think about ourselves because of this project i have money that i have. not able to manage our expenses so much better not one thought about it was that they were then the hard but the mother i would say to the women don't depend on your husbands financially everyone was being dependent this is the time. he's up to the real. i mean spiraling story of how when really me. entire communities changed for the better the oysters that bought out that have not only help these women but also helping the environment by cleaning the backwaters the a farm did how does that work and explain. what would happen if you put

mussels on clams into a large tank full of pollutants like fertilizers herbicides and industrial runoff. researchers tried it and found that their shellfish removed up to eighty percent of the contaminants within three days acting rather like natural cleansing agents. so does this mean that oysters clams or mussels could be used to purify our c.s. when mollusks like these hunt for tasty phytoplankton in the water they might indeed be part of the solution. a single oyster for example in its quest for food draws one hundred ten to one hundred eighty liters of water through its gills every day. during this process oysters filter out several dissolved nitrogen and phosphorus containing pollutants carbon dioxide and plastic from the water around the. plastic bags left on the beach harden in the sun become brittle and break into

little pieces plastic fragments submerged in the sea can actually kill some marine creatures outright or enter the food chain and even end up on our plates. oysters could help filter a lot of these plastics out of the water but that does pose something of a culling or a health problem. every one hundred grams of mussels eaten contains an estimated seventy pieces of debris that's the scary result of one study and it isn't just plastic it's ray on it's cotton we could be eating all of it. furthermore mollusks are under threat increased ocean acidity and over. harvesting have led to the disappearance of eighty five percent of global oyster reefs in the last one hundred years. fortunately awareness is growing now that studies have shown the important role mollusks play in cleaning the water they're being

reintroduced to marine ecosystems but there's still a long way to go. since we are on the subject of leaving our water bodies it's probably a good time to introduce you to cristobal to attend my best environmentalist who left behind a new creative job to start his the environmentalists foundation of india just last year the foundation work for the scientific eco restoration of over twenty water bodies across the country. groups of fallen ten working to clean up lakes and ponds in the city of tangier. many bodies of water in india cluttered with garbage the cleanup is one of many initiatives organized by the n.g.o.s environmentalist foundation of india over the past twelve years environmental activists are in krishnamurthy and his team have restored lakes across india krishnamurthy who has a degree in microbiology decided to take action because of the water shortage in

many indian cities including his home city of chennai. two thousand and fifteen we had massive beings and after that we have prolonged periods of drought conditions and we've also heard of rainfall activity this is having a huge impact on the temperature on the good on water reserves and more they look at each body of water individually to decide how to read nature it because it brought in to remove the silt and deepen the lake so that the water and rain can once again drain into the earth allowing the ground water level to bryce. despite the problems and tonight is actually known for its abundance of water that has one of the longest beaches in the world. and the city has over three hundred lakes and two hundred eighty palms the process of restoring water bodies like these is lengthy and arduous but it's worth the effort. in one neighborhood they joined forces with local residents to restore

a lake. what you see here used to be in water boarded that was clogged and rested we have deep underwater bodies scientifically it has all been marred the wall that's been released now in addition to that the ball collision that is water groundwater to penetrate and recharge the groundwater reserves has also been created and we've also fenced this water body to keep of all the trash or do you need kind of for dumping into this water body. by setting up camera traps they've also discovered that wildlife is returning to the area the exit to our pond has turned from rubbish dump to natural oasis there are plenty of birds which we can see behind which are enjoying this water body on a hard summer day there are also a lot of snakes frogs and the dirt those which can be found in this water body that is right in the pond of lake is not just the water boarding area by design that for several life forms the environmentalists need up to two years to restore

a lake or pond the n.g.o.s work is financed by indian firms that donate money to environmental causes. so far they've been able to work on ninety three lakes bringing them back to life. water shortages are a constant issue right across india these drawings were done by school children in chennai are in krishnamurthy often gets invited into schools to talk about the importance of protecting water resources he finds older students in particular a keen to help. just in two thousand and eighteen we have been able to engage fifty seven thousand in the world you will do for a while and doing activities and we are very positive because people are accepting and people are participating so that is one big big motivation for us to do what we are doing. the thirty three year old activist has won multiple awards for his work

but he's not resting on his laurels there are still far too many lakes in india that are not yet as beautiful as this one here in chennai. indians are very resourceful we even have a word for it to get on the phone you are. mistaking the concept of resourcefulness and frugal innovation to for us to start up to god lab specializes in training french companies in a wheat while minimizing the use of increasingly scarce resources and create more value. this is turning an old car into a ping pong table. should god is a term that hails from india that denotes a life back way of thinking which is becoming popular in paris. is

a consultant who came here from delhi nine years ago he is a champion of jakarta. is a disused hospital the complex is being restored but in the meantime it has its start ups happy about the mahdi strength. having a village like this in the very heart of paris he was completely surprising totally unusual. as soon as he went to the site you see that we're breaking all the rules here. cycling really using this to guard spirit is breaking out all over the place the surroundings themselves provide inspiration for new projects new objects and new sounds. but. you can't go there on year is a designer in his basement studio. yes developed

a ceramic sea tray it's a low tech object that uses rubble from the construction site and coffee grounds from the cafe next door. i've added coffee grounds because they help lower the firing temperature of the clay. it's also a way to save on raw materials. my goal is always to make everything myself with my own resources and in the simplest way possible so i avoid using machinery in order to reduce my impact on the environment. but. instead he wants his designs to have a positive impact on society his prototype see tray is easy to reproduce and gio will teach unskilled workers how to make c. trays and sell them.

to god is a world away from the mindset of the business district in paris but this is exactly where robin of while wants to promote that approach he says that in order to become and remain sustainable large corporations need to adopt frugal innovation. frugal innovation and to god were born in a context where people lack resources and today we all face that problem so with this awareness we can create a more responsible society. to. act on while called on large companies such as air france and ran over to spread the word innovate more with less some small firms are already doing that up cycling for example others waste. this is how the furniture company maximum makes chairs what looks like spaghetti is actually plastic retrieved from the garbage of

a firm that throws away ten tons of it every month. you know. this kind of plastic is perfect but it ends up in the garbage every time the firm starts producing a new color. we take the plastic we mix it we melt it with an old device we also found in the garbage. that we use a mold of aluminum to create these chairs entirely out of reuse materials. like the men the design is always use industrial waste to create their products. we classify these objects according to what they look like that shape or texture. that helps us with the creative process of designing new furniture. whether. the company has found

a way to transform waste into gold each chair is an original and sells for about two hundred euros. industrial waste is a fantastic resource. it comes in large volumes it's often high quality it's free and it's a problem if we don't use it. you know you've got to influence small businesses he sees the roots of his approach in a certain form of indian spirituality. integration to get his philosophy we should create value with what we have. today i think we need to make changes in personal family and organizational terms to have a global impact. the concept of jugaad good ball certainly help

us move the words a more sustainable. take for example how many of us have to take out coffee when we're in a rush hundreds of thousands of disposable coffee cups are thrown over every hour around the world a bulgarian startup has come up with the solution we love. to have your coffee and eat it too. this is an edible coffee cup. it remains solid for forty minutes. the cup doesn't alter the taste of coffee. and stays crispy. it's edible like an ice cream cone. it was

designed by a pub garion startup company. but our comps mainly consist of wheat products and our organic beef in case you don't eat the cost it's also biodegradable. more than one hundred twenty billion coffee cups are thrown away each year this edible coffee cup helps to avoid that. if you're doing your tell us about. visiting our website or send us a tweet. doing your big share your story. in india many cities are grappling with mountains of trash it's common to see vast group of frac because many of them women informally collecting and segregating these and then selling it without any job security or dignity but in the western city of only a cooperative of three thousand race because it has joined hands with the municipal

authorities to collect waste from door to door and fight for better work conditions our correspondent makes with one of the women pushing for change. of course assassination is known as the fanti of garbage in this slum in. and she's got plenty of work to do. her job is to go from door to door to pick and so trash like most waste because it's from india's done it untouchable community to face white spirit prejudice and marginalization she started racking when she was a teenager more than thirty years ago for a long time city officials and residents had a stroke and she toiled in filthy unsanitary conditions that treated nine years ago and also joined a co-operative with because courts watch it struck a deal with city authorities to get the rights to collecting the city's garbage. earlier there was so much discrimination we couldn't even use public taps to drink

water people used to call us thieves now there's been a huge change people let us into their homes to get the garbage some even offer us a glass of water we provide a professional service and return we get respect. if you define it. not. working conditions have also improved the corporate it services about six hundred thousand households across the city from slums to high rises municipal authorities provide workers like ourselves the collective gear and health insurance that's the horse i can use the energy to now it's something should members with because we're denied. houses in this apartment is sixty of movies that's less than a year old every month for the garbage collection service. fighting for her rights is something false a load of critics will be along with other ways because she's on the organizations

board many women including cos are illiterate but that hasn't stopped them from making the voices heard hasa was even invited to france a few years ago to speak about ways because rights. that. because. they're all and the decision makers of this organization itself means there's a lot of process of any problem and that's going on through the microphone. twice a week or so heads to a neighborhood scrapped it was disappointing plastic people and plus she salvagers the recyclables from a daily garbage called the trash which is for the soldiers recycling for helps boost them. all together takes home about one thousand rupees that's around one hundred twelve euros every month it's a significant sum in a totally informal sector the generals are. also has big plants. along for

the co-operative help to build a concrete house for herself and her family after years of living in a makeshift in part in the city. the two story building could be ready in a few months. other ways because they've been able to send their children to school and college thanks to their work in the co-operative but she says the benefits and just want a tree down to after years of organizing protests and fighting for our rights i've learned to overcome fear i'm self confident now i come so far. from now the co-operative has achieved an unconquerable try and women from the lowest cost are pushing for their rights and cleaning the city with a sense of dignity and purpose. the journey towards a sustainable planet also involves respecting each other as human beings and noticing that we're all more similar than different i hope to these stories have

inspired you to be the change you want to see the world will be back next week until then good bye. it would be sad.
