roger donald trump. i were to park you mentoring analyzes the difficult relationship between russia and the u.s. and between their presidents how does their widely read and their dangerous mutual admiration for the rest of the. bosom buddies trump and putin starts august 3rd on d w. but. whether it's the global pandemic apply make change some of the problems we're facing to be it seems that finding solutions at an individual level feels almost fewer tied but why we might not to solve all the world's problems that are pings that we can do to help protect our planet this week we introduce you to the people and projects while

making this happen hello welcome to eco india i'm sunk that i'm coming to you from my neighborhood in mumbai now 70 percent of moving india still depends on agriculture as the main source of livelihood for us we were cut off from information on best practices in farming and this brought to sub optimal results but a development organization is using the fall wolf acknowledging to empower small farmers in bihar and help lift them out of poverty. and you're going to look from farmer to filmmaker it's an unusual career jump but one that her medical man made. his latest film focuses on how to protect eggplant crops from pests i think that because i'm not pro you have a very healthy planform keep using the moyl every 7 to 10 days to keep best survey you pick up the menu. kumar began to see that film could be

a great tool for spreading information in his community farmers in bihar in north east india have struggled to cope with changing conditions as a result of climate change kumar felt there was a lack of information generally on how to deal with crop diseases and whether fluctuation is you've got. to do yes. these are might be might very easy to spot. because. you have to keep a close watch. you can recognise the year. i was trained by digital green funded by the bill and melinda gates foundation and us aid among others if uses information and communication technology to increase the productivity of smallholder farmers at that building of information was disseminated to the community through the chart paper put on the flags and through those some other men will but then their. attention came into existence so

then we have started with this. that and with the purpose of that like it will be it in the information delivered a long time at the community so the farmer sort any other minister is can memorize the information the humus is delivered a long time and they can adopt they can use that technology for a longer time. the global development organization focuses on small and marginal farmers who own less than 2 hectares of land and who account for around 86 percent of all farmers across india many of them grapple with serial poverty and in less than 4 euros a day digital green is supported by a state run organization known as. the training program is aimed at helping farmers adapt to. the problem in the past was that if you're farmers and 1st. you have to 1st to spend money on tackling. the best would invariably destroy your crops that

again was an additional loss but if you're just planted up your field and there was on time the rains i would have lost money once again not that all these expenses are farmers are easily earning 25 to 30 percent more by the way with him when i benefit. that's an estimate but kamar believe his work is having an impact because based around $1500.00 rupees just on the 18 year olds for his work he gets extra for each film showing for spreading the word. that the 35 year old is responsible for the content of each person. he works together with the digital dream team to develop story boards and set up screenings in the villages. today at a community meeting local women have gathered to learn about a new crop disease. according to oxfam india figures 85 percent of rural women in

india work in agriculture and so they make up the majority of the digital green audience. the economic crap in my field is infested with pests and i'm unable to get a good price for it in the market is there a way to save our crops from this bit and actually that. we recommend the use of pheromone crabs for this problem. that has the features of the cracked and when they come close they get. a good. screening is followed by a discussion this discussion amongst fellow farmers is helpful in many ways it gives people the reassurance that if a certain practice has been successful. and the particular place it is likely to

work here is where it builds confidence in people if one farm implements a practice or does tend to follow all this helps in creating better practices. so far digital green has produced over 5000 videos viewed by millions of people across pardon's of villages in india and is not the only one spreading the information. that d.m. hopes that by treating more people like him other farmers will have the chance to adapt to the climate changing conditions to. now we all know that we used as a big problem for our planet globally we produce around 2000000000 metric tons of municipal solid waste every year it's an issue in india but the good news is that solutions big and small are being implemented to tackle it head on we caught up with an environmental organization in delhi which was working on different ways of

reducing waste. mountains of trash are among new delhi's biggest problems. half the city's waste ends up in landfills like this one in east delhi. as they bake in the north indian sun hughes entered the docks and seep into the ground. only around a quarter of an india as we east is formally process. for a large part of the rubbish that's left india's informal sector of waste because step in. one such community lives in south delhi where they collect trash and preserve things that they can use a recent. they get

a little recognition from the government but they form an integral part of the city's waste management system. earlier and. who's going to collect it if not us who don't take no responsibility for their own waste especially not the people who live in big houses that if we didn't collect it it would pile up in the street and stink so badly no one would want to go out signed if we stopped collecting it for 2 days everything wrong. it's estimated there are between one and a half and 4000000 waste because in india. they live on the margins of society with almost no access to education basic sanitation or state benefits. nearby environmentalists. runs an organization called sweet cha. a few years into being a nonprofit jogger the idea to collect some of the abundant garbage in delhi and up

cycle it i'll give it a 2nd life with higher value. this commercial our most which is called green the map. trash has no life or no future and that's what happened 3 child walks on right now up cycling beast things that we actually up cycle for example a lot of tire in india is actually burnt by you know. actually me interesting wallets out of our those tires and 2 it's been congesting our landfills for a long long time plastic similarly so we're told that can we actually bring in innovation design and utility and make some interesting product. details from green the map. and more now i recently my grounds to new delhi. today they are visiting southern a 2nd hand market to buy materials for an order they received. at

this market you can get anything you may have no matter what it is. everything you need to make a bag from in a tire tubes for example like fittings buckles zippers thread you can get everything here. moved to delhi after school when he couldn't find a reason to stay in his village and. his uncle had found a job a dream them up and brought ali in to spare him the harsh life of a typical migrant which normally means menial labor and. green the mob employs mostly migrants like ali to work with to give them a 2nd chance at a good life. lots of boys from my village have ended up working in factories or on construction sites where they have to carry around the cement used to build high rises. their jobs are a lot more back breaking my work is great. i'm proud that i'm helping to reduce

garbage making something useful from it instead of throwing it away. you know it's wrong. proceeds from green them up going to switch us environmental projects planting trees to clean the air and advocating for green policies. job believes that the onus all timothy lies on the government really produces almost 10000 metric tons of garbage. and 10000 metric tons of garbage. it's also not my responsibility or our responsibility or community response we. manage our bits through the streets responsibly do so it's very very important to really not pick up the aspects of governance from risk management governance is the job of the government i mean to hold them responsible for about. the landfill in eastern delhi will go higher than the taj mahal. inspiring people to rethink the concept of

garbage is a good 1st step to keep india from sinking beneath its own waste. or drill a lawn more or a big suitcase but things you need every now and again so you buy a new one even though you might only ever use it once platforms designed to allow people to share it with their neighbors are becoming the trend in cities like they have not only economically practical but also beneficial for the environment. unpledged toobin has clearly done this many times before he's putting together his trainer says. you can lend it to a neighbor for free of course that's nothing out of the ordinary for him he regularly lends out his belongings. garden equipment tools a child's mattress firstly friends. neighbors these things so go since thinking

they won't have to buy them. i don't see this as being anti consumerist it's about sustainability these things are used so rarely if you use something a lot then buying something makes increasing sense and. the 2 men got to know each other by and neighborhood platform more than 1600000 users are connected to people living in their vicinity maybe. people use it to lend and borrow stuff to swap information or to offer help. we have over $50000.00 entries linked to lending and borrowing and the range of items is huge from a grill to a car seat to a bike trail or to a ladder to a hand so many different things. when. they also offer services english tutoring guitar lessons all these things and more are
