coping with extreme breakdown. and how design knows not in shorting the plan will win but not as easily you spoke about the boxed. forest let's look at the story of the people who are tackling revo pollution in india one flaw was that a staple of putting it temples and mosques around the country but they often end up in rivers considered holy the india to maintain their sanctity fix one example the ganga floor of bees reportedly accounts for 16 percent of the go to movies that ends up in what is considered india's. do young entrepreneurs and conquered have found in the ingenious solution to the seemingly complex problem. of.

i got that cheese all incense sticks have always been and in this very place john reid went 15. there's a chick friend who had come to visit me in concord so and we're sitting here. is a festival which marks the ending of the winter solstice and been coming off some are some people celebrated by taking a dip in the ground this is considered is very horny. so we sat here for about an hour and we saw that more than $150.00 people came and lived to could be in their grand is and they would drink in the ward there was a person selling plastic containers just so that people could buy the containers and fill that back home the water was sordo deeds weekly now and we are thinking why and we started talking why is the warden when you would. be spoke about. issues because of the temple when we spoke about the issues of the lead apparently

he spoke of the cv and so on and then we saw a lot of people coming in and throwing the religious waste in and then there was a small from one nearby temple which came and dumped all the flowers that was the point i realized. no one has ever done anything we almost of. an opinion if it led both ago wall and karen rest stalky can call residents who grew up in this town along the ganges to develop an idea that is today a successful and sustainable business model. help us green works towards upcycling temple waste its most successful ventures so far has been flour recycling. the conversion of used flowers collected from temples into charcoal and chemical free agora bodies. when we started no one believed in us on

this everything because they knew very little of this for 5 years only you and your un that started above are you going to something something in the news or when viewers are going back with an operation to make them believe it was a hard task but the river once we showed them the actual product and the actual impact that we're making then they believe that we are something that are obviously going. around the industrial town of can pour in protest again g.'s the most revered of rivers in india is at its dirtiest going by conservative estimates about $8000000.00 tons of flowers

a dumped into the river every year. flowers are thought to be completely biodegradable but the sheer volume combined with pesticides and insecticides leads to toxic waters. one of the primary causes of hepatitis cholera and diarrhea. topic of traffic of the floods from the temperature in the concourse of the people got dropped which have a different route the optimism for that time is less. than the ones the crowds are bored bored and they're worried and then they distribute it to different women now then they have to say good. bye to the thread the blackboard and the idea. is the product on time of war

which is the voice for the bio degradable come aboard. then these women manufacture incense they live by the flies and sense of the forest. sticks in india. chemicals like also making lead removed during the process. we've been able to flog more than 7000 pounds of flour and bark means that we've been able to save 7 pesticides from getting into that it will. help us green currently employs about 79 was predominantly women from marginalized communities many of whom used to work scavengers.

who am i going to now i'm working everyone appreciates my work in assets. because of the work i was doing no one respected me no one ever wanted to drop in my home. but now everyone comes out for whether i'm home or not i always have guests over. you. see i had to believe that i had to do something new for the city or for the community of the world with my start in the community before us the basic needs food clothing and charged for them with self-respect. care and your study and. now determine to extend the flower cycle entrepreneurship model to other industries facilitating the employment of 5000 people by the year 2022. mile hope and dream is that i established this facility at every corner of the city and the country so there is nothing going to be used more and more than burma to

you and make us. our own them it's a big move for us. now from india let's head southeast. the country is experiencing frequent bouts of extreme flooding storms heat waves and cold snaps rooted regions a particularly hard hit leaving local farm was struggling to protect their crops the cost to province of which is regularly hit by storms is setting an example trying something different let's take a look. at the country that has most of the city and she has impacts of climate change especially to be affected by the storm. 2017 in vietnam we have

a 16 storm come to the country. and come from ever. happening. happy life at. a specially with the poor people that dispenses group i think that that's the group they need to support. the people who live in. their income mainly depends a lot on the only type you guys can division and some fishing. and they have a small but the women also record knowledge and skews that knowledge and use all know. that's why we support their women.

holder. thanks for the project i've learned a lot about taking care of my fish like what kind of food they need to feed the baby and what to feed the adults and i've also learned how to keep them healthy and i have to treat illnesses this project helps create jobs are also my fish at the market and that means income for my family while. i was born and grew up in the village. for me the most important thing here is the people i'm really connected to. we're friendly and open. we stick together and we help each other.

oh villages hit by natural disasters every year we reckon with one or 2 typhoons every season as well as one or 2 major floods with and all the strains of every winds was even more problems than in the coastline is receding a senior swallowing up our land so learn the same time sand invades our homes in the fields where we grow our food. in. the only. way. we're planting lots

more tree we're restoring the forests to try to mitigate the impact of climate change. when. the forest creates shade and climatic buffers. it serves as a break and stops the soil from trying out. the trees. and reducing greenhouse gases. during the typhoon season the forest helps prevent the sun from drifting in from the coast to the village. a little from the fury of the storms. this really is. in vietnam as well because. in these. there are all of the communities in the.

forests. and they understand about the eco system so they will get from. busy you. a perfect vietnam in. that. country. costs. in fresh structure and also. be ma nature. may be protected. and people can also live there friendly with their environment and for the local people to have a better life have a good income. like . a large part of india's workforce works and is susceptible to extreme weather

conditions like excessive heat 2017 was the hottest. recorded in india's history the 4th straight year of the record has been broken in such a situation constantly becomes a necessity one man in delhi is making sure every person in his neighborhood has access to clean water. for the last 4 years 69 year old like nasser rajan has been on a mission to make sure no one in his neighborhood goes thirsty. i start my day. 5 o'clock meaning can deliver the 1st round of water for the market and then i come back. he stops delivering water matters are rounded earthen pot commonly used across india to store water and keep

it cool natarajan is popularly called the much command because he's installed nearly 100 water pots in his neighborhood for public the rituals them $3.00 to $4.00 times a day everybody is more concerned about the b.m.w. and. you know when you don't really need to. make sure that your god is the. cyclists security guards daily wage labor is rich sure pedestrians greatly benefit from the service he provides a staggering 163000000 people in india don't have access to safe water. it's initiatives like nutter rajan's that help improve the situation i think a principle people should give some water for the public also. and

its limits. people encourage all kinds of people and all kinds of people make the community nothing really belongs to us everything belongs to the community. and whatever you do is good sincerely. let's now shift focus to look at a problem affecting one of the largest industrial stores of carbon on earth more lands of crucial significance west to interact these natural habitats can store 10 times more carbon dioxide than any other ecosystem on average changes in land use practices and climate operating them. but in nature conservation project in germany has found a week to restore. these conservationists want to save the more land near give

horne in northern germany their most important work right now is up rooting young trees from areas that are too dry andre data of the nature and biodiversity conservation union has been working here for many years and leads the restoration project. we're removing trees to keep the moreland open because it's so dry the trees will otherwise keep growing and create a forest. up rooting the trees also helps protect the climate the more land stores considerably more carbon than forests. too many trees would dry out the more and slowly destroy it. 98 percent of the more lands in germany have already been destroyed through peat harvesting logging agriculture. teaches at the university of sustainable development and near berlin she's very familiar with the global threat

to more lands illegally yes i went off because. in africa for example about 20 percent of my land in kenya in nigeria has been protect the cultural use making it a source of greenhouse gases out in. indonesia and southeast asia there's a rapid deterioration as being converted into palm oil plantations on. peat has been harvested here for 200 years today it's mainly used as potting soil. andre data and doris planter of nabu are hoping to restore more lands currently being used for industrial purposes. they. need peat moss in order for the peat to develop and peat moss is the most important plant when it comes to replenishing the moylan's. when was that if you as peaches removed barren areas being created it could be replanted so we're trying to grow as

much peat moss as possible so that we can plant it on those narrow areas. that will help the more lands to recover. to grow peat moss on a large scale water needs to be returned to the more land 1st. to soak the area we release the water there's a board here and when we remove it the water flows through and fills the area. as the more land revives it slowly recovers its former biodiversity many insect species can only survive on more land. peat moss also begins to grow again. the peat soil here will accumulate at the rate of about one millimeter per year so it's a job that requires a lot of patience. it'll take about 6000 years for the more land near give horn to fully recover for years now and indeed right through school was incomplete without

a but not. a 6 yard wonder government soon with gold and silver thread but how do we bring the standing in to a dying art as we was increasingly done to make. that turn out large quantities of synthetic and cheaper saudis now some indian designers have stepped in to save the iconic saudi and keep the craft alive. but. to wash away the sins in the river got some to die and be complete it. but it isn't just. the one. it's also famous. with silk and gold. with a distinctive look and feel. it's. a must have the

stylish indian women. the fabrics. operated by spring the punch cards the determine the design for the week. the looms . the physically demanding work. weeks to make a single. but seems like this increasing. the centuries old artistic tradition. in the past there would have been a wooden pan in every home. entire families in these villages around involved and skills were passed on from generation to generation until this happened. in the last decade to see the arrival of machines churning out cheap.

and wiping out the handle and just. made the switch. and invested in our woodlands and states many artisans. in the us. makes me very sad. but i have to embrace new technology in order to make production is now much faster i don't have to do backbreaking work anymore. unlike these machines can run as well as at night and i make. much more money. but there is a solution to save the handel industry. just into kamar is a designer in about an assay he draws on the skills of the city's bieber's to produce contemporary handcrafted fabrics for luxury fashion houses in the u.s.

and in europe. they end up as design aware on catwalks. prices can be as high as $400.00 a metre for the time which are not times of changed there isn't much of a market left in india for people handling saris. the industry needs to reinvent itself. to go with international buyers because they really value craftsmanship and handmade products and they're willing to pay much higher prices. back in the village that is allowed to employ $32.00 families on a regular basis. but the weavers here own between $120.00 to $250.00 a month depending on the work and the scheme. it's a way about the marketplace. the hope is that it will encourage our dissidents to stay true to their unique craft. making a singleton's of hand-woven fabric in vaults and entire chain of artisans

specialized in different skills. up to 16 different workers a part of the process. initiatives like helping to sustain the artisans and keep the craft life. the case for not only family but change seems inevitable and the future remains uncertain. you can see there aren't any young people it's a huge problem young people nowadays want to study the more aspirational they don't want to get into this kind of work. that's the biggest challenge if we don't do something in another decade they won't be artisans left at all and in this industry . if why don't the seas remaining handlers what to fall completely silent. yes it would mock the disappearance not just across. the family of life. i hope to these stories inspired you to be the change you want to see in the world

we'll be back next week the most out stories each one taking us one step closer to a sustainable future good bye and have a wonderful week. by

responsibility as a journalist is to get beyond the smoke and mirrors it's not just about the fear and balance or being neutral it's about being truthful. when he was born golf and i were you know.
