hello welcome to a brand new episode of india a sustainability magazine that puts the focus on change me because we're finding solutions to the biggest problems facing our world to be the ragu coming to you from the city of mumbai in india. over the next 30 minutes our travel company info to charity is going beyond its call of duty to clean the ocean bed the need to cross is future proofing me against landslides and how an organization in mumbai is helping indian women to break free from menstruation tabs. let's zoom in on an issue that has a deep impact on our marine life often when fishermen abandon their fishing nets in the ocean their draft of the boar to entangling fish dolphin sea turtles and many

other creatures in them on evil to release them so they die from starvation infection and sometimes even suffocation one organization in the southern city of the cherry is trying to change this and create a safe ecosystem for the marine life in its surrounding seas. fishing nets one of the most essential possessions of fishermen are now proving to be their biggest enemy. may be the norm which is not biodegradable these nets attached to large strollers are relatively recent departure from the more sustainable practices of traditional fishing dragged along

the ocean to catch everything in their path. if that's even it dragging or would that leave it was stuck and also if you need to damage it go to break the cord it is damaging the water sometimes it is stuck really very hard to try to pull in it it will come out what do they cut the need and growing so that they'd go and sit alone the bottom of that if that made goes like fine then we did some grow some girls like to and we did some girls like a kilometer that depends on the whole the whole file they cut down it. when i bring it because of the net. they're destroying the entier. many life the better it did on. these dive out of in the s.b. he's trying to clear the waters off to the charity of these ghost nets which are

discarded abandoned almost by fisherman. out of him that is quite the local hero inputted charity in 2010 he stumbled upon an undersea wall with an exquisite marine ecosystem of its own during an extraordinary dive 40 kilometers away from the shore . out of ins whorl as it came to be called was in dire need of help. when the thought that was the 1st i thought with a big net lying down and a cup of tea and like millions of fish inside it but i didn't know what we'd do escape there at the thought of a inside some of my pew research for dead people of color for lying on that i was all about to die so when that's when i found the one that if the scene i thought to be really big fishing that. you could be ate beef to clean the coarseness. out of in the esteem of diverse today and remove large quantities of course notes

from the ocean bed every time they go diving. ghost nets account for a 10 percent reduction in fishing catch. even then local fisherman have needed a lot of convincing to change how they do their business. to get better than that it will go to. the them with the bottom but. being one of them would have been on when they were bought out about a year and worried about any man that when we started diving in that area. that had no doubt. both of you guys we got our dive and there was a reason any other. one wanted appears to interact with the fisherman how the divers are helping to grow to fish.

and we can say that we did to get them. them then they will understand or we can use dismayed because damages leave these days because i didn't want any fish. and can't get any money through the fish so that they do protect the. one such fisherman who was out of it he's. coming from a family that has known traditional fishing as the only way of life. as he's called he's reluctantly but resolutely moving away from practices.

there are very few fish left in the sea because of the mechanized boats cleaning it out. we don't even have money to buy nets forget competing. these are trained as a scuba diver and now works as a captain with out of in stempel adventures which conducts dives for scuba enthusiasts. since i started scuba i don't feel like fishing because i get to see them underwater and feel i shouldn't be killing them i also go into the water and see them look so beautiful now there are almost no fish left. and i just work as a captain. it's good i can educate my children from the decent salary that i wouldn't get from fishing. and we are able to sustain ourselves now. they sound fishermen like came out also helping out of in the improve the marine

ecosystem along the coast. this means carrying large rocks to the sea to fortify the artificial reefs they've been together. before. we need the 20. so now we get there 12344 reeves. reached the creative. unbelievable free flow before this ne levin that all the fishermen doing for their rocky places to rock music like 15000 women having to be languishing or need to towel like a condom are needed to

a little for that every night in port 80 to know everybody you can rely on pushing . hard even stempel adventures which is funded mainly on the diapers and training it conducts is a prime example of going beyond one's call of duty. and the main concern is individual responsibility it's not ok we're not made for when i'm going to fish and live and. clean a bit why you need to wait for that you can augment but you want. to keep from the same village if you're a family you're playing for you're going to play in a league same time spent like 20 minutes between some you're right if you take it off your own media if you were to do that that you feel you do it because of that know why there was in pollution and that's my daughter.

it's changed me because like out of me and well making sure we still have a winning chance at a sustainable future shifting focus now to neighboring me torrential rains in the country have become more and more common often attribute it to climate change the next link in what is seemingly a domino effect is an avoidable landslides wreaking havoc in the lives of people but one need to variety of cross is proving to be the new hope for this problem let's take a look. once again the rain is to rancho bringing back memories of how a year ago an avalanche of mud and rocks thundered down this very slow. there's not much left of farmer come out powder julie's grandmother's house and his son could be are here to pay their respects to her she was killed in her sleep by the mudslide. c.-love

move on what's he can with me and. he said me or what have been my dad we cannot i live in this is yet we go probably oh we leave this area where you end up. but they did stay like the other residents of the village of simponi. lost his fields fortunately he also has a position as a teacher so you can support his mother and the rest of the family. at the foot of the mountain why is the village of done to co-found. here the damage from the mudslide was especially severe 9 people lost their lives in. a country in the shadow of the himalayas nepal is prone to earthquakes and landslides in 2015 it was hit by

a particularly disastrous earthquake the risk of landslides rises even more during the monsoon season. workers for the international union for the conservation of nature like agronomist cari are trying to mitigate the threat with an research. course it's a tall fast growing indigenous plant also known as broome grass its roots help keep soil in place. for us while directly. and it also not one day to hold this while it does work on called the eurozone and the dogs will see it go walk to speed in this it'll be idea. the secret lies in the clan sweat like network of routes. that of it is small goods lego small thing we can find it it is really into this while that means and if it has it like that of the netbook or lego made work like

this and it captures like that all are just but i did this while and it just all of those life into the net. about 2 hours outside nepal's 2nd largest city takara lies the village of saturn caught in the past landslides were common here. they swept down the steep slope destroying fields and threatening low lying areas in the village broom grass was planted to try to improve this situation and it's already helped. additionally a drainage canal was built it takes up some of the floodwater reduces the force of the torrents and diverts the water into the fields the village has become a safer place to live. and it has an additional source of income

and resale can be used to make brooms farmer john newcombe about all sells them and has been able to increase our income by 20 percent. then you have numbered them there i mean everyone about the thought of that and then if i want to and extra money as a farmer i have to work very hard for it. but with henri so it's faster and more pleasant that it is quite a good feeling when about a warming. also burns the armory so to heat her home and cook and its leaves provide good fodder for her livestock food. here. but can broom grass also prevent major landslides and due to co-found where 9 people died they've built walls at the foot of the slope. they're meant to break the force of mud and rock slides before they reach the village.

body cari and the villagers are no looking for a solution for upslope barriers the damage is still visible here to really make a difference trees have to be planted and the banks of the river secured. the plunder of the land side that is not any magic farmer yet that means that we are not the 100 percent here who can pull that landslide if we planned on this so it wouldn't look or do while i'm back in the audi strongly that means it can be the little bit high falling off a log. higher up the villagers are now planting them research the plant even grows in the eroded soil of the landslide area helping anchor it. wanes so it is down and so like we get. we cannot stay in belize so i miss or are so young and then i love member of the

family. dan see. once again torrents are rushing down the mountain and the reso won't offer any real protection for another year or 2 until then the villagers just have to hope that the disaster of 2015 be repeated. in mississippi is indeed the mother of invention let's now look at a story where a women's organization in mumbai took it upon itself to shackle the top of menstruation and seen no to an age or hygiene a practice how do they achieve this let's find out. this local sanitary pad manufacturing unit set up in a slum redeveloped colony in shivaji to get in mumbai has been diligently working

toward starting a movement. established under the mine foundation it employs local women trains them in manufacturing low cost high quality sanitary products and sells them door to door across slum communities in mumbai. but the motivation behind this initiative is not in making profits it is in educating people on menstrual health hygiene and sanitation and most significantly in changing mindsets. asked arching point was to ensure that every woman wears a pad but pads and periods for generations these have been taboo subjects that no one wants to openly discuss when we started on our mission we had no idea how difficult it would be on the field. people would be reluctant to listen to us even after a year we had no success but we kept going door to door. almost

90 percent women living in slum areas traditionally use cloth instead of sanitary pads unaware of the risks involved in following unhygenic menstrual practices. we explained to them that they should use pads instead of cloth if they want to avoid infections. the biggest challenge for an initiative like the mind now my love foundation however has been in encouraging people to talk openly about menstruation but the sales and distribution team also responsible for spreading awareness amongst potential customers admit that they have come a long way. when i started out i myself used to feel embarrassed the response from people wasn't encouraging either they would ask me how i could talk about these things husbands

and fathers in-laws would show up mistaking us for saleswomen and telling us to move on. but there's been a lot of change over time we've managed to convert many women from using cloth to sanitary napkins. out of the 10 people we talked to at least 5 get convinced. what started with a group of just 5 women today employs more than 20. i mean. we've employed women from the community itself there were no criteria for being educated or for being a for certain age these were women who felt stifled because they were not allowed to leave their homes when they finally got the opportunity to leave their homes there was a sense of relief and happiness that's when we'll to realise that most of these women what an educated and that's where most problems arose from we then started

teaching programs. i mean clearly if they do now well let's say. when i joined i was sure i wouldn't be able to work here i felt embarrassed that's when sohan explained to me that here i would only be working but also learning a lot of things and that's just what happened. in my. mind not team here it is not just into production we also provide education self-defense classes and skill development sessions one day a week has been kept aside for our. but he won. as one of the few grassroots organizations working single handedly towards empowering women in slum areas the my now my love foundation has been receiving donations and attracting volunteers from across the world but this team of jane

makers feels their journey has only just begun. now let's do it movement started in is the one year in 2008 when $50000.00 people came together and cleaned up the entire country in 5 hours since then the initiative has grown into a global operation and engaged 20000000 environmentally savvy while india's around the world whether this movement go from here and what are the big learnings in the last 10 years while interior who's been with the initiative since the beginning brics this down. trash the trash bags plastic plastic plastic was the classic plastic are we worried that carving up whatever. the let's do it movement brings together people from around the world to clean up their countries on so-called clean up day. this civic led fast movement began an estonian in

2008 when 50000 people gathered to collect waste across the country. in just 5 hours they picked up $10000.00 tonnes of illegal trash. from the estonian capital tolland has been part of the core team from the outset. i'm really happy that through this movement we have given people back the understanding that they have power to change things it doesn't have to be organizing a worldwide cleanup for a country like tina it can just be the power of making a little bit different decisions every day because your friends will know it differently will know it it's the most important change you can inflict on the world changing yourself. since then the donations funded movement are spread around the world. the global network has engaged

a total of more than $35000000.00 volunteers since its launch in around $160.00 countries it's not an easy thing to manage. mostly when the clean ups are organized you need a lot of people working together they are very very often spread all around the country but they need to work together is in a very synchronized way so we used you used. to to assess the problem to plan the action and to communicate with each other it's crucial otherwise you couldn't done it you couldn't do it in such a large scale. the launch of the waste mapping out marked a milestone in the project's progress it allows volunteers to locate trash are pictures another data like the type or size of the white it makes coordinating volunteers an easier task. the team was also developed the world waste

platform which provides an overview of the worst situation of the whole planet a global mark for a global movement. it's always a kind of highlight when you see people working in literary critical situations there were people conducting cleanups in a war so in conflict zones there were people conducting cleanups in 2018 during hurricanes and cyclons if you see this kind of human bravery and will to make it happen the spite of the circumstances that's really humbling and aspiring. and waste gets everywhere as these project participants in taiwan demonstrated. some other teams are facing other challenges for example in india. with $240000000.00 tonnes per year it produces more waste than any other country on the planet. jim sherman is the regional coordinator for india the

us and oceania he's well aware that india only recycles 10 percent of the waste that it produces. there's just not the infrastructure that you would want there to be. very fragmented in a country that size and obviously with a large rural population is difficult to put a recycling scheme in so that you want to because challenges what to do with all the waste even when you collect it. for the let's do it movement cleaning up is just the 1st step on a long road keeping that well clean is the next part of the journey we call it keep it clean plan we just set off. steve it is our steps we can take going in different sectors in each country so figuring out together with all those people involved through the movement through the word clean up day how we can inflect changes in our polices how we can educate ourselves our kids grown ups how

to make better choices every day. cino on her fellow activists know that small steps can lead to big change. i hope you were many take a reason to be sure we'd be back next week with many more inspiring stories from across india and europe each one taking us one step closer to a sustainable future good bye and have a wonderful week. the
