the secrets are some magic. box cold starts oct 11th w. . fast enough. the words 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 i'm sometimes 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 air conditioner is the 1st response to tackling this heat but this small action has huge reputations on the health of the planet our daily 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 as village investor revolves around the traditional art of thought to be 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. the members of the community however are proud of their tradition but it can only survive if they can successfully compete with cheap alternatives. you know always where rose was going with. as. many

people out as still professional porters here where i live around 500 families make all different kinds of things or just a different event what do you mean changes according to the season but whatever people order we can make it. just. as well traditionally he has been used around india for everything from holding drinking water to cooling homes 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 the spirit.

i was very active member of this installation society would be used to make art installation and then like coming a bit. like an addict forms and stuff because apart from architectural problems that needs to do so there so 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 the high food earth and runs on minimal energy it doesn't expel heat the way modern air conditioned it's to 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 believes that right in the middle and in some other it's really impossible to stand in front of it and even work like 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 often when installing the final beehive that you manufacture. we left it for like 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 was based on biomimicry with the design inspired by the hexagonal cells of a beehive he just needed for around $800.00 parts recycled water is continuously pulled over the structure which evaporates and was the surrounding temperature at the factory where the cooler was 1st installed it helped improve conditions for the workers. any impact is abuse really cynical today was hardly have the temperature word so high and when people worked there it went so hard that it. was being a scar but these are parts that have been in star when heat comes out of the generator passes through the particle and comes down to 5 degrees cooler temperatures here or out temperature by degrees or differences. 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 heat waves every year indians who can afford it are turning to air conditioning and cooling systems. is having to impact on them 1st it's increases their electricity bill which is quite substantial and 2nd they hit this condition atos out from the house on to the road stand to into their neighbor's house is making their living more difficult so it might be cooling you down but cooling it's heating up your surrounding environmental research are of equal schönbrunn she has been studying the short and long term impacts of tarmoh stress in india. so with. alter it gets more if you lose them or if it's more hotter it gets and there is no solution and this is the microbes. i mean if you're talking the pill both scale the energy used to run

air conditioning this 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 city once esteemed 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 no other kind of plan that. would have pushing us. believe in a different lifestyle all together 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 likely in a court of the imagination of certain plants that who. would like to take this chance and actually exploded from dimension. and studio displayed the latest

installation at an exhibition by you and d.p. which strives to fulfill to modern day requirements the destruction with water cools the air while the vertical garden helps tackle air pollution. for danish 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 their forefathers. and. i haven't listened to anyone 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. i have made about 101100. or so

and. innovation slike this may not completely replace air conditioners but their potential to minimize heat and energy knows can go a no way to making cooling greener. now imagine you had a year 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 wedding the high cost that puts you on your family in danger that's what's happening right now with the resources we have. he 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 s. 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 give your station.

they've doubled since the eighty's up to nearly $40000000000.00 tons 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 eat 3 earths if we wanted to consume like germans and if we lived like indians we would only need 0.7 herbs india has a poor standard of living the global footprint network estimates that the whole world population lives as if we have the resources of 1.7 earths at our disposal. but it's not too late just reducing use of fossil fuels by half could push earth

overshoot day back another 3 months. now when i look at that story i wonder is it really a week we could live with more sustainably the promise of a good future has pushed more stuff around the world to move to cities but many a time city living is not synonymous with sustainable living there are some amongst those who choose a sustainable life they consume less they grew all their own veggies and they keep a tab on their carbon footprint we visited an eco willage. to find out how feasible it is to live like this. is the largest city in germany with a population of 3600000. 1.2000000 cars squeezed my 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 c.

bin linden and just 150 people lived 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 we're 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. the villages generate most of. which is also used to supply hot water but the village isn't only energy efficient they were also. food. chemical pesticides and they mainly the old fashioned way.

it's more ecological to work without machines so it's the logical option if it's better for the soil it means less soil compaction less gasoline less dirt and smell . in the spring and summer you feel connected to all the growth and development. connected to life. most things. to tell the fields and they don't use farm animals 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 beginnings in the village incensed around 70 percent of the vegetables eaten by the village. also grown by them and they're aiming to further increase that figure and

instead of being thrown away the leftovers a recycled is compost. the villagers are happy with a 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. when it 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 or what's actually in each item. in the item stocked by the village store all organically sourced and therefore more expensive than the 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 in seaven lyndon. but not everybody could afford to opt into this sustainable lifestyle not even the people in germany joining the collective costs 12000 euros 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 balakrishnan is an eco pioneer 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 lauded world over let's take a peek at the life's work of this architect. nori a center of arts c.e.p.t. university campus. it's

a creative haunt for art students as much as it is for professional artists. it's not far from the gallery. this gallery structure is below ground level but keeps things cool here even on the hottest days. d.l.r. yosi 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. the brains behind all these projects is 90 year old architect christian adult she wants his buildings to be more than merely impressive. i go to my architect.

speaks way cool the. natural. shadow. is. created. dialogue. with nature. and nature of a labor and. his own studio mirrors that concept it's a mixture of traditional influences and those of his mental switch french architect . ways. of things. my personal experience in this. when i was. one of you before. it was a 1st for auto for capital. over

the course of his professional life she has completed over 100 projects mostly situated in his home town. housing estates. built for a textile company's employees. the. recently showcased. the exhibits. housing estate for people. in the late 1980 s. every resident was given a small plot of land with. themselves. people

live here. the notion of designing your own home personal needs is more relevant than ever right now in western countries as well. almost one that cannot pass the 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 and 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 sign she's granddaughter new kentucky who've curated 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 architecture where there are possibilities to grow adapt modify over a period of time. she 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 are mostly i'm 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 constantly changing needs principles which are firmly embodied in both christian adult she's architecture. even consumption can be sustainable if you

consider buying used items when you why to we went all the way up north to. the city has a boy dedicated to secondhand items gadgets. and the swedes are loving it. just last year the mall made 1100000 euros in seals and sea of guns of items from going to the landfill. welcome to the world's most sustainable shopping mall 'd only items hear a 2nd time and that means that also more affordable the new ones. customers of the recycling more have to enjoy rummaging for a while for something that catches their eye all my stuff anything here is one of a kind. o. thumb moves for the summer i love that. this is a record player a book about whiskey and you can find things that dos not but not everybody has something special something unique recycling like recycling you don't want to

buy new new things. i'm just runs the electronic shop like everything in his computers televisions and my friends at our nation's. 3 to no 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 hear that through the retail it won't work with all this would all be. on the order like responsibility. every day brings and you find. this is something like. in the

workshop the team brings defective electronics like this television back to life. of the syrian born shop manager his work is about more than just earning money. where you 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 here 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 such giving things to sort of be really used to.

being put into recycling process where they you also need fossil fuels here for me to produce new things alex returning to teach is one of the many workshops organized by the more participants up cycling techniques and 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 the. concept of what is. 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. and he found a few hours later in the electronics shop the don't need to television is ready to go on sale. i'm just hopes that the idea behind 3 to no

shopping mall will catch on everywhere. the awareness the will you need to know about the work of everyone and as i said i hope that it will. spread all over europe the war and when that happens more and more people will start to appreciate the value in things that have been used before. now sweden the home country of climate activism tricked out con book is definitely pioneering the thought of the time to make the stock 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 part provoking episode until then good bye.
