don't tell me that she was you. don't tell me that she never showed. her comments in the morning. the since your home is. on. top you know. we've often short stories of change me because inspiring the people around them to be the change they want to see in the world they've made a difference for the better for the everyday lives of people and to be and bob meant to do only coin you know we'll dig deeper into how movements come together

and why big change occurs when the power is in the hands of the people i'm suddenly coming to you from mumbai in india more and more googling gets i'm moving out the religious and moving into cities sustaining life on agriculture is becoming difficult with every passing day especially if you live in the hotshot egypt of eastern but remember what mahatma gandhi said the soul of india lies in its religious and in order to transform india it's important to transform the villages and local collectable farmers from 15 villages in the region is trying to bring this part to life by empowering the farmers to solve their problems head on. if. this is the district i'll be in the monarch about artesian off maharashtra it's known to most as one of the vostro depicted region. in india battling

a bit email water crisis as well as struggling with the highest number of farmers who cite. the order administratively jhon off by early is the most affected but the lowest irrigation rates in the country the average in a gated area in india is 40 percent violent early it's a mere 1.72 percent it's almost impossible to make a living from agriculture many people here are dispirited and in desperation turn to alcohol. but this was bali situation about 3 years ago today the global pollie initiative put 15 villages in its forward has managed to agree to eat its story. the year. but it's only when they are on

that idea was the brainchild of my own garden the founder of the initiator was supported by the strength and willpower of all the members of the 15 villages with a collective population of more than 30000. for. the last 3 years have witnessed a revival of 70 kilometers off the river that flows through the region the building of bonn 62 farm ponds 52 check dams and watershed structures all in a bid to ensure that not one drop of water in the region goes to waste. but i thought a board meeting was not just my own gandhi but the villagers we had a very. we collected 4 lakhs and we did it without forcing anyone to

contribute whatever they could before we collected villagers contributed to starting with 10 rupees and some even gave in 1000 there was not a single house that did not contribute even if their regular nets where living in the city and not residing in the village this is how we broaden and deepen the power nasheed river that flows through our little slice and it is according. to. the villagers willingly contributed to become active participants as a last 8 who live in the development of their villages. there are 3 basic reason why we took this 15 villages one is we wanted to create more models we thought that if we were able to take more religious then we can make more models and that can be a model for replication dog and they used to say that religion should be

self-sufficient so one village cannot be self-sufficient so which is why we took 15 with us and when i went to the villages i realised that villages are like multiple organ failure if you are going to hardly were pulled out of where you work all along the way so if you want to really have an impact. then your daughter got all the body parts at the same di. leet you're. keeping in mind the severity of the legion one of the primary cause of the global bodily initiator was to create other opportunities to make a living. only on agriculture and farming when also bringing in extra income into their pockets during a good year of harvest. i

made the us start when i started to make that sacrifice my family members were concerned i asked them if i could continue to do this in addition to my daily phone book they said ok so i took time out to do this i now make the chutneys in the morning or evening that i going to the farm at 10 am and come back at 6 30 pm now i do it as an event i find time to time the sounds of it and goes on about. 6. religion looks forward to these sessions every day with fellow members of a set of tell to today they are making ground not. acting like. these are then marketed by global coley amongst friends families and corporate

houses in neighboring cities. due to orders a man can fetch them an additional $3000.00 rupees which is about $38.00 euros. while the men are also struggling the women are struggling back much more to go there to look after the family so if you give them a source of income i think it helps that family. and most importantly the woman like some saving to get that for the children for the education for the family so and boating woman has got to be the most important thing. is a. development

of these villages have played a profound draw in this transformational journey and depression and alcoholism has taken over the region in what seemed like an. today not to one of the hundreds of eco shops across these 15 villages off but only remain. trauma region making headlines for the largest number of families who sides and a climate of utter doom only is to be seen as

a role model in self-sufficiency and self-reliance. a local one of the. global marley has are going to evolve and change in the mindset of the people here there really is was he needed to go over there for instance a site about her legal store somewhere below what they were doing at the party and i thought once this was done about you know you now do want i will work yes i'm quite a. lot of republicans coming climb any comments or community with. me i'll go to that about who i was going to go to. in. what. i would. have there been a lot of reality based on politics based on caste based on religion and now we see

each other as human beings we don't care if he has land on what religion he belongs to that we none of these discriminations exist and we live in that in harmony and because of that we can now see social and cultural progress you know when it up. you know. when you don't think of a 1000000 i'm going to have about in a moment a problem with me. often you only need one person to take the initiative and help more and more people understand the big have to come forward and stand up together to bring about lasting change this is how movements and mindsets changed. just over a year ago demonstrated alone in front of the swedish parliament she wasn't alone

today her protest movement to stop climate change is called fridays for a future and has gone global it's an impassioned call to politicians to strive for a carbon free future. and that's something that's only possible with renewable energies the swiss adventurer and visionary showed the enormous potential energy by making the impossible possible. currently only powered by kerosene which destroys the environment wanted to change that. powered soley by the sun by 2016 his 2nd navigated it. to the people that's what indian scientists and activists. corporations that want to genetically modify and monopolize seeing she works to protect the seeds of over 1000 crops by saving them in banks and making them

available to follow it's an initiative that protects biodiversity as well as people's health and livelihoods. of 4 to walk just in germany has sparked off an inspiring movement to fight rampant plastic pollution around the world $322000000.00 tons of plastic is produced and consumed every year of this $12000000.00 is in germany and steven whorf is trying to bring people together. he's getting closer to his goal stephanie halasz has been passed. in for 4 weeks now from the western german city of cortland from the rhine to the capital berlin in the northeast of the country. the. greatest thing on this was a trip of 750 kilometers it was to come up against your limits when you think you'll never make it then you get

a 2nd wind and then you do it this is not my stuff but. germany's rivers look so clean but 7 years ago stefan started collecting garbage on his kayaking towards. going over to mist as that's precisely the problem. in rivers in asia you see it immediately because there's so much of. the fault here it's not so visible because you've got some over here and some over there so we have to hunt it down. but after 6 kilometers we've typically collected 500 kilograms. he started out doing the collecting on his own he'd make an arrangement of the garbage from the rivers photograph it and put it on display it's the photo designer's way of making the invisible waste plain for all to see. on 40 of them are i took a photograph that shows a kayaker from above paddling on garbage this is the average amount of garbage from

one kilometer of river in germany and not in asia and we have to work to reduce that because germany has a lot of kilometers of rivers trying to reach the feet of who's going to meet up. in total around 7300 kilometers and staff and horses only travelled a fraction of them so far. alongside exhibitions he also organizes regular cleanup events 7 cities are taking part in this one like oberhausen on a tributary of the rhine. you have to look closely i pull out pieces of plastic all over the place they look just like the stones my boat's already full up . he's joined by new volunteers at every new stretch. you're trying wasn't here ram 60 cleena opposite on the water and the river bank.

their life just because i think it makes total sense to not just collect waste from the rivers but also from the landscape around them. and they eyes. i think it's important to realize that this is not just happening in the caribbean or wherever be aware that it starts here with us i'm saying that. after just 2 hours they've gathered around 2000 liters of garbage last year steffen horse and other kayak has lifted around 30000 liters of garbage from the water you met up with congo. 4 years ago he did a tour on the rhine from southwest in germany all the way to the north sea. it's and there's a lot of that we've been a nonprofit organization since 2016 after our tour back then it was like an avalanche so many people got in touch send e-mails asking where they could help out . with your pattern i couldn't handle it all on my own. thank

goodness i'm no longer a lone warrior it's more and more people are joining i'm really happy about you know what mr. stephanie halasz needs as many fellow campaign ends as he can get because there's plenty of work to do. but he's happy to have come this much closer to his goal of clean water waves. job in nonprofit building group is doing something unique for business professionals to travel to eastern european countries like the bill who is for the socially disadvantaged let's take a look at how this is bringing people together from different realities to work for the common good. it's 9 am at

a building site on the edge of the mall to open capitol kishi now 20 young people have come from all over the world to build a house together. gordon voice to from the german nonprofit organization build and grow it explains that the builders are actually business professionals who are working to help poor families here. i often see the emptiness and inner dissatisfaction of my colleagues who devise strategies but never get to see the end result this project is completely different here the team works towards a common goal and changes lives and. voice to is 26 years old and works as a business consultant for an international company over the past year he's already built one house together with his colleagues animal dove and construction company. the company is called unicode walls and it specializes in the particularly energy efficient prefab building system the young firm is

a so-called social business 10 percent of their building projects and houses are for socially disadvantaged people anatole mullen say it is one of the founders. of the way we build. approximately we make the homes at least 75 percent more efficient at home building. initiatives and also protect our environment code words and even the of the even though less import from other countries. most housing blocks in moldova were built during soviet times the insulation is poor or in some cases nonexistent in the winter time the heating costs eat up about a 3rd of a normal income those who manage to put a little money aside retrofit insulation to their apartments. but the most stuff a family can't afford it they have 2 children their son adriaan is severely

disabled and requires around the clock parental care. now the most of us will be moving into the new house that's currently being assembled by the business professionals their tiny apartment isn't really suited to a disabled person's needs. but the most of us won't only have a new home alexandru who is an artist and designer will have a new job too he'll be working as a consultant for unical walls the most important building material for unica walls houses is timber each panel consists of a wooden frame which is then filled with polystyrene sheets it's a plastic but it's unbeatable in terms of weight and density the panels are sealed with the fireproof and waterproof sheeting. they unica walls team passes on its expertise by holding regular lectures that moldova's technical university. the university is training up the

engineers of tomorrow. and it's made energy supply and efficiency one of its core themes. day 3 on the construction site and the house is standing now it's time to fit the windows. the basic construction cost $50000.00 euros a part of that was financed by donations from the volunteer workers in 2 hours the keys will be handed over the insulation waterproofing still have to be added to the roof everyone is going hammer and tongs to get it finished. when even in comes it's time for the big moment. the most of our family are given the keys to their new home. and it's time to celebrate. meanwhile the family can now inspect their new rooms.

the way. so it's been such a wonderful day i feel great really great some of the team want to take part in the next house building project to make another family happy the. now in love that india's law the most region and engineer is bringing the local community together as part of a fascinating project to store water from the melting p.c.'s in a man needs to ice most villages here facing a huge shortage of 4 during the early summer months of april and may the ice to power project is not only ensuring that the community has enough potable water but is also making sure that the geared up to back to climate change. this is not a remnant of

a melted glacier it's an artificial water reservoir the shape of which is reminiscent of a buddhist sanctuary a stupa made of ice the idea was conceived by sun on one chilcot an engineer from the duck in northwestern india is our ships which have minimal surface area for the while you so the sun cannot melt it as quickly as it does or does until a flat ice and therefore it melts slowly as the summer approaches and as it melts it gives its water to the farmers. ledecky is famous for the world's highest altitude cold desert in a region which gets only between 50 to 100 millimeters of rainfall annually the glaciers have been a life source for ages. they provide water for the cities. and for the farmers as well. but due to

climate change almost 20 percent of the glaciers in the area have been lost in the last 50 years. although the glaciers melt during summer time there is still water scarcity during certain months. what many people don't understand for farmers the challenge of water is only in the springtime if they're in me which is when they need water and which is when the glaciers are still not warm enough there so they don't melt. a wooden scaffold serves as a skeleton for the ice stupa in winter scarce melt water from the mountains is transported in underground pipes to lower regions. due to the difference in pressure it shoots up all by itself. and the minus 3 in the air will extract the heat in the water and then it falls down and freezes in the shape of

a form and the beauty is that you don't need machines are pumps or electricity or fuels or pollution none of that it's all gravity simple pipes it's summer now this stupa is 5 months old built by the inhabitants of a nearby village originally it held over 15000000 liters of water. about 50000 liters of milk daily. with the water flowing from the i stoop on the village in the valley has enough water available for the timely irrigation of the fields. son i'm one choke is co-founder of the students' educational and cultural movement 2nd. because the young people will one day have a say in the fate of the region they need to know how the stupas help the farmers. and however in the long run artificial glaciers are only a makeshift solution. i stupors are not just.

method of making water but it is also a message from the mountain people to the people in big cities of the world it is equally important that you in the big cities do everything to mitigate climate change and change your lifestyle so my message is that please live simply in the big cities of the world so that we in the mountains can simply live there are now about 25 i stupors in the region to create them it needed just a leap of the imagination what's needed now is change on a global scale. a global vision to tackle climate change is truly a bunda for last 30 should and it would be impossible if people came together in whatever capacity they can to make this happen i hope to be as episode has inspired

you to join the cause that soon we'll be back next week with yet another apocryphal king show until then good bye.
