then for more follow us on twitter at d w t w dot com. 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 be made a difference for the better for the everybody lives of people and to the and but the 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 and some of that coming to you from mumbai in india more of the ruling gives are moving out of religious and moving into cities sustaining life on agriculture is becoming difficult with every passing day especially if you live in the harsh region of eastern maharashtra but remember what mahatma gandhi said the soul of india lies in its villages and in order to transform india it's important to transform the

villages a local collective of farmers from 15 villages in the region is trying to bring the store to life by empowering the farmers to solve their problems head on. this is the district of b. in the money out of our bodies and of maharashtra it's known to most as one of the worst drought affected regions in india battling a pity me a water crisis as well as struggling with the highest number of farmers who say. that on the administratively gin of barley 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 man 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 polish situation about 3 years ago today the global poly initiative put 15 villages in its forward has managed to treat right its story. the way. but surely. the idea was the brainchild of my own gandhi 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 of the river that flows through the region the building

of bonn 62 farm ponds 52 czech dams and watershed structures all in a bid to ensure that not one drop of water in the region goes to waste. it was not just my own gandhi but the villagers where very involved. we collected 4 lakhs and we did it without forcing anyone to contribute whatever they could before we collected contributed to starting with 10 rupees and some even gave. there was not a single house that did not contribute even if their regular nursemaid living in the city and not residing in the village this is how we broadened and deepened the river that flows through our really. the village.

those 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 these 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 it used to say that religion should be self-sufficient so one militia cannot be self-sufficient so which is why we took 15 with it and when i went to the villages i realised that villages are like multiple organ failure if you are going to hardly were pulled over if you were to call a long call that ok so if you want to really have an impact. then your daughter got all the body parts of the same diet. the eat you're.

keeping in mind the severity of the region one of the primary goals of the global bully initiator was to create other opportunities to make a living these alternatives. to life 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 the check raise my family members were concerned and i asked them if i could continue to do this in addition to my daily farm book they said ok so i took time out to do this i now make the chutneys in the morning or evening 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 sometimes written books on it so

that's. what's got them from mum double lives looks forward to the sessions every day with fellow members of a sales tell prove today they are making ground me. acting like. these are then marketed by global kohli 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. 50. while the men are also struggling the woman are struggling back much more to go there to look after the family so if you give them

a sort of often called i think it helps that family. and most importantly the woman relate to what some saving to get that for the children for the education for the family so i'm voting woman has got to be the most important thing. is a good. development of these villages have played a profound role in this transformational journey and depression and alcoholism has taken over the region in what seemed like an age of hopelessness it was the limon who led from the front joining donkeys to lentulus campaign against a scene across bodies religious. not to one of the hundreds of legal shops across these 15 villages off but only

remain. from a region making headlines for the largest number of families who sides and a climate of utter doom early is to be seen as a role model in self-sufficiency and central lyons. global putting up a local one of the 10 global marley has are going to come out and change in the mindset of the people you have there is was you needed to go over there for instance a site about only legal store somebody and what they were doing for the party and i thought once this was not about where you now do what i would work yes i'm quite

a. lot of public. coming klimenko magic i mean you a. little bit about who i would. go to. in. one of like. i would go south i think you are you have never had a lot of areas that is based on politics based on cost based on religion and now we see each other as human beings we don't care if he has land on what religion he will long none of these discriminations exist any i know. that in harmony and because of that we can now see social and cultural progress in our village. when something of a 1000000 man want to live out in the moment to prevent what you. might.

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 lasting change this is how movements and mindsets of changed. just over a year ago demonstrated alone in front of the swedish parliament she wasn't alone for long 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 energy the swiss adventurer and visionary doubts 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 the. power to the people that indian scientist and activist vandana shiva stands for. corporations that want to genetically modify and monopolize scene 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 to germany has been inspiring movement to fight rampant plastic pollution around the world 322000000 tonnes of plastic is produced and consumed. 12000000 is in germany and stephen whorf is trying to bring people together through this.

he's getting close to his goals stephanie has been passed. for 4 weeks now from the western german city of course lands on the rhine to the capital berlin in the northeast of the country. the. greatest thing and 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 because this is not my. geminis rivers looks so clean but 7 years ago stefan started collecting garbage on his kayaking told us. 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 hunted 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. up 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 them because germany has a lot of kilometers of rivers. in total around 7300 kilometers and stephan horse has 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. i want to. 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 the siding was here around 60 cleena opposite on the water and the riverbank. because i think it makes total sense to not just collect waste from the rivers but also from the landscape around them. and i stop i think it's important to realise that this is not just happening in the caribbean or wherever be aware that it starts here with us i'm saying this. 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 condoms. 4 years ago he did a tour on the rhine from south western germany all the way to the north sea. it's invisible so i told him 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 emails 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 that more and more people are joining i'm really happy but you know for instance. stephanie halasz needs as many fellow campaigners as he can get because that's plenty of work to do but he's happy to have come to this much closer to his goal of clean water ways.

a german nonprofit building group is doing something unique for business professionals to travel to eastern european countries like moldova to build who it's 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 capital kishi now 20 young people have come from all over the world to build a house together. garden voice to from the german nonprofit organization build and grow explains that the builders are actually business professionals who are working to help poor families here. i often see the emptiness and enter dissatisfaction of my colleagues who devise strategies never get to see the end result this project is

completely different here the team works towards a common goal and changes lives and out. voice through work says a business consultant for an international company in the last year he's already built one house together with his colleagues and the most open 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 a traditional home building. and yeah i think we can contribute through this climate. change initiatives and also protect our

environment over words and even the event there were less imports from other countries. most housing blocks and 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 at 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. of 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. will see this in 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 face an acute shortage of for the early summer months of april and may the ice to project is not only ensuring that the community has enough portable 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 stupor 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 and 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 of the full last edition and it wouldn't be impossible if people came together in whatever capacity they can to make this happen i hope to be this episode has inspired you to join the chorus that moves you will be back next week with yet another pop provoking show until then good bye.
