the water is growing population uses more and more resources every day and our lifestyles are becoming costly for the environment we live in what does it mean to live sustainably in such a scenario does it mean living a life of a black hole it's actually quite the opposite. hello welcome to eco india. coming to you from mumbai if you live in india you know stranger to the blistering heat across the country especially in the summer months for many of us turning on an conditioner is the 1st response to tackling this heat but this small action has huge repercussions on the health of the planet and then he based architectural firm is trying to popularize a new nor energy cost efficient air conditioning system let's see why this could be a game changer. night at this

spot is village invest heavily revolves around the traditional artifacts of the craft has been passed down for countless generations but things have changed recently as cheap products from china have flooded the market there's much less demand for i. the members of the community however are proud of their tradition but it can only survive if they can successfully compete with cheap alternatives. in the worst way rose was going with this was. many people are still professional porters here where i live around 500 families make all different kinds of things or does a good defender and one of the main changes according to the season but whatever people order we can make it. just. as well traditionally has been used around india for everything from holding drinking . water to cooling hopes this heritage and the potential of the urban material are

inspiring architects across the country mohnish city put up who runs an studio in new delhi he's going back to the basics on his quest to find cheap and energy efficient solutions for arbonne architecture. as a kid i always used to like breaking things putting them together or trying to make something out of it that someone translated into even in college. i was very active member of this installation society will be used to make art installations and then like coming up with. my candidate forms and stuff because apart from architectural problems that need to do so that's how it started with my interaction with art in a manner over the last few years more niche has been working on a sustainable cooling system it's called a v high fouda and runs on minimal energy it doesn't expel heat the way modern air

conditioners do it was 1st made to help workers in fact priests who were exposed to hot blasts of air from generator sets there are 600 employees working that area and this is one believe that right in the middle and in some other it's really impossible to stand in front of it and even work i mean so when we started working on the project it was speak summers and i could not withstand the heat for you in 10 minutes so after we installed the final be that we manufacture. be lifted for like a couple of us and then we went back to see it off to a good amount of time the system was still intact and was working the people were like really happy about it the structure is based on biomimicry with the design inspired by the hexagonal cells of a beehive it is metre for around $800.00 parts recycled water is continuously poured over the structure which evaporates and lowers the surrounding temperature at the factory where the cooler was 1st installed. it helped improve conditions for

the workers. in the view serious cynical today was hardly have their temperature was so high and when people worked there it was so hard that it. was being escorted but these are parts that have been installed when heat comes out of the generator passes through the apartment. 5 degrees cooler temperatures here are outnumbered by degrees or differences in. the last 15 years have seen some of the hottest summers the world over and india's capital new delhi is no exception as the city reels under crushing heatwaves every year indians who can afford it are turning to air conditioning and cooling systems. is having to impact on them. its increases their electricity bill which is quite substantial and 2nd. this condition atos out from the house on to the road to the neighbor's house is

making their living more difficult so it might be cooling you down but it's heating up your surrounding environmental research or of equal schönbrunn she has been studying the short and long term impacts of turmel's stress in india. so with. more hotter it gets and there's no solution and this is the micro plan but if you're talking the scale the energy used to run your condition massive and generation of electricity is still mostly driven by a school which is adding to the global warming and climate change. research is around the world are calling for a shift away from coal dependent and energy inefficient ways of cooling. once his team and its clients to be a part of this. significant change the response was really. interesting

for us because the kind of plan to be a working with now of the kind of plan that we were approaching us. believe in a different lifestyle altogether it's no more about taking cooling as a thing that's. just as a function but the whole notion of this the art of cooling is something that like really caught the imagination of certain plants that who. would like to take the stand and actually exploded from dimension. and studio displayed their latest installation at an exhibition by you entity which strives to fulfill to modern day requirements that are a quarter structure with water cools the air while the vertical garden helps tackle air pollution. but diminish kumar and his community the shift towards equal cooling has given them

a fresh outlook they hope that the growing popularity of natural materials will boost their earnings and improve their prospects of carrying on the profession of the forefathers. and. i have in the letter and with whom i have for the last few months the team gives me a particular design and checks the quality of the final production in the last 3 to 4 months i must have made about 101104 the architects. and the for the international. innovations like this may not completely replace air conditioners but their potential to minimize heat and energy loss can go unknown way to making cooling greener. now imagine you have a. as income to live on but instead of budgeting you spent it all in just 7 months

and now you can only border wall money but at a very high cost that puts you on your family in danger that's what's happening right now with the resources we have our next story will tell you where we stand when it comes to using them. the amount we humans consume is bad for our planet it's under severe strain. in the 1970 is people started measuring the damage being done to nature on earth overshoot day it marks the day when humanity's demand for ecological resources and services exceeds what earth can regenerate per year. it started out slowly during the eighty's we only used a little bit more resources than we had in a year but since 2000 nearly all resources have been used up after only 8 months this year earth overshoot day arrived even earlier and since july this year we

humans 7700000000 people are living on borrowed resources for the rest of the year we're using more farmland in pastures forests and fishing grounds than we actually should nature doesn't have time to regenerate we're not only using too many resources we also produce too much harmful c o 2. c o 2 emissions are produced by fossil fuels industry and divorce station. they've doubled since the eighty's up to nearly $40000000000.00 tonnes per year. air pollution and plastic pollution haven't been added to the calculation by the global footprint network. the list of countries that are using too many resources is growing if we continue living like this how many resources of how many earths would we need. we would need 5 earths if we all consumed like people

in the united states. we would be 3 earths if we wanted to consume like germans and if we lived like indians we would only need 0.7 earths india has a poor standard of living the global footprint network estimates that the whole world population lives as if we had the resources of 1.7 earth said our disposal. but it's not too late just reducing use of fossil fuels by half could push earth overshoot gay back another 3 months. now when i look at that story i wonder is it really a week we could live more sustainably the promise of a good future. but many a time city living is not synonymous with sustainability there are some amongst those who choose a sustainable life the big who are there and they keep

a tab on their carbon footprint we visited in the village. find out how feasible it is this. is the largest city in germany with a population of 3600000. 1.2000000 cars squeeze their way through the hustle and bustle of the capital every day. but peace and quiet can be found a mere 3 hours away no cars are allowed in eco village seaborn linden and just 150 people live here founded 20 years ago it's also a no go area for mobile phones. moved here from hanover. the most was the traffic and all the advertising plus the feeling of being hopelessly exposed to everything here was showing how it's possible to live sustainably in germany and have an enjoyable life we live comfortably here but we

consume far less energy than people elsewhere. to save energy the buildings walls are insulated with bales of straw the villages generate most of their own and which is also used to supply hot water but the village isn't the only energy efficient their residents also try to grow their own food. chemical pesticides and they mainly but the land. the old fashioned way. for those tiles and it's more ecological to work without machines so it's the logical options and that's why it's better for the soil it means less soil compaction less gasoline less dirt and smell to sexting until later in the summer we're in the spring and summer you feel connected to all the growth and development and for connected to life as

a mother soviet medicines and so on then. most things are done manually and even then there's no machinery to tell the fields and they don't use farm animals even if you alpacas here are kept as pets. the daily communal meal contains no meat because it's bad for the environment and because the beacons in the village incensed around 70 percent of the vegetables eaten by the villages are also grown by them and they're aiming to further increase that figure and instead of being thrown away the leftovers of recycled as compost. the villagers are happy with the small range of foods covering their basic requirements chocolate also stopped by the village store is a luxury. and has nothing against city supermarkets as such. had all the range could be smaller. of course i really notice the abundance of

products and then i have no idea what to buy. actually in each item and. eat a item stopped by the village store all organically sourced and more expensive than their supermarket counterparts but around the corner is a place where people give things away when they no longer need them like loads. most residents have jobs in the village itself as administrative carpenters or gardeners which means the money stains n.z. and linden. but not everybody could afford to opt into this sustainable lifestyle not even the people in germany joining the collective costs 12000 years building and maintaining an eco village doesn't come cheap. even linden isn't quite an eco topia it's a compromise solution. from an eco village let's explore the idea of sustainability

at a larger scale pritzker prize winner. is an eco he builds buildings to cause the least ecological damage with surroundings his low cost housing project in the central indian city of the 10 year is nor did well let's take a peek at the life's work of the. center of arts c.e.p.t. university campus you know. it's a creative haunt for art students as much as it is for professional artists. it's not far from the gallery. there's gallery structure is below ground level but keeps things cool here even on the hottest days. the ally o.c. housing complex is home to a life insurance company's employees they live together with their managers in the

same building their children even play together. in the brains behind all these projects is 90 year old architect krishna does she says buildings to be more than merely impressive. there are. you living piece of structure. because he'd speaks way through the. it has with the external natural elements. how we'd had a dialogue with her in which sound with shadow with the space i could dig created. that guy log. nature. and naturally away brings. his own studio mirrors that concepts it's

a mixture of traditional influences and those of his mental swiss french architect . ways piers should form a studio came from a couple of things. my personal experience in this studio in batteries when i was there in 1950 or one of it before. it was of the 1st floor of a capital. over the course of his professional life she has completed over 100 projects mostly situated in his home town. housing estates like. built for

a textile company's employees. the. southern german town. recently showcased. amongst the exhibits a model of the iranian housing estate for people on low incomes in the late 1980 s. every resident was given a small plot of land with a toilet. themselves. 80000 people live here. the notion of designing your own home according to your personal needs is more relevant than ever right now in western countries as well. almost on but cannot there's a housing shortage cities berlin especially are increasingly having to struggle with rising housing costs and it seems to me that does she has managed to combine a person's apartment with their sense of identity in a highly unique way. it's

a meditation on how we want to live in the future how flexible a house or an apartment has to be a whole side. she's granddaughter cushion of kentucky hoof curator the exhibition they selected is most important works together. some of the most important lesson from his architect or for many students and all practicing architects generation is that his approach to participate free and open ended up protector where there are possibilities to grow adapt modify over a period of time. last year does he was awarded the pritzker architecture prize for his life's work his opus includes the institute of indulging as a repository for ancient palm leaf manuscripts it was a major challenge for an architect to ensure it maintains

a constant climate within. it a misquote of drawing a sketch of the structure created by mr dockery the special thing about his architecture is that its client responsive functional very simple different and is very attractive sustainable and mindful construction with constant reference to people and their constantly changing needs principles which are firmly embodied in both krishna dodges architecture. even consumption can be sustainable if you consider buying used items when you why to we went all the way up north as. the city has a loyal dedicated to secondhand items gadgets. and the swedes are loving it. just last year the mall made 1100000 euros in seals and sea of 5 of us from going to the last week and. welcome to the world's most sustainable shopping mall 'd all the items here secondhand that means that also more affordable for new ones. customers

of the recycling more have to enjoy rummaging for a while for something that catches their eye almost everything here is one of a kind. of both some moves for the summer i loved it. this is a record player a book. which you can find things that are not that not everybody has something special something unique recycling we like recycling we don't want to buy new new things. with. the electronic shop like everything that has computers televisions and my friends at our nation's. 3 to now shopping mall in the swedish town of school tonight is located next to a recycling center. people bring unwanted items of all kinds here anything that can

be used overhead goes to the mall. or. everyone who comes here they have an object or become here to serve environment and help others to make some money like the rich want to hand to throw the retail it won't work with all this would all be understanding or like responsibility. every day brings a new find. so this is something like. in the workshop the team brings defective electronics like this television back to life. of the syrian born shop manager this work is about more than just ending money. we have a responsibility toward this environment. so if. you're poor so it's not good for my kids my grandsons and the future. to reach you know a shopping mall has 14 shops each one specializes in different kinds of 2nd time

goods like fun books. sustainability is a major topic where more and more sweets want to know where and how the products they use and consume were made but most consumers here still prefer new products to used ones. one of the main focuses in trying to reduce the climate impact is to reduce the level of production. given in things to sort of be really used to like a rather than being put into a recycling process where they you also need fossil fuels usually to produce new things alex returning to teach is one of the many workshops organized by the more participants up cycling techniques on how to use various waste materials they can also learn about production conditions in other countries and how to consume more sustainably. we're definitely

a part in challenging. concept of what is waste also challenging the concept of that even if we do our part even if we're apart in a consumer culture or. what we consume also makes a huge difference and what impact it has on the environment. than a few hours later in the electronic shop the donated television is ready to go on sale. tomorrow hopes that the idea behind 3 to no shopping mall will catch on everywhere because. the awareness the will you need to know about you can work on everyone and as i said i hope that it will. spread all over europe the war and why not more and more people will start to appreciate the value in things that have been used before. now sweden the home country of climate activists inflict

a combo is definitely pioneering the thought of the time to make the start to what sustainability is now i hope today's episode has given you the ideas however small or big to take a step towards a cleaner greener future we'll be back next week with yet another proc provoking episode until then good bye.
