not every neighborhood in the city of mumbai. has plenty of trees and plots not by chance but by design. a few individuals championed the need for green spaces here and as a community. this week how can communities come together to say that that's what we talk about. now in this problem with effectively disposing. in fact. these have been conducted to try and solve it local governments in many cases best practices for communities to adopt so that can be segregated and. a neighborhood. on the outskirts of delhi had a better idea than what was suggested by. their breaking move when it comes to

community waste management. surrounded by sprawling villages and communities one of the 108 acre property. country in. the complex is home to 900 independent bungalows and gardens but things have not always been rosy. and. the fact that living in the beautiful he. still was. indifferent. i. would give us. a 20 minute drive from nirvana country is one of the region's biggest land fields a large part of india as we used ends up and dump sites like this one they often

catch fire sending deathly plumes into the air and the toxic liquid from the unfiltered rotting waste seeps deep into the ground. monica cannot be allowed to refuse to accept the poor air quality around her community or the poor waste management system she began to think about her role in this and wondered how she could play her part in correcting the course of things. her citizens want to drink committee 1st approached the municipal corporation of course looking for a solution at the time the corporation was flooded with options from vendors selling instant compositors machines that promise to turn organic waste into compost within 24 hours but after a few experiments they were dissatisfied with their results. since the common 24

compositors want exactly working group came up with their own simple system of community composting after much research the finally decided to use the drum and been method where every household contributes by 1st segregating their waste at source. then there is a 2nd be segregation that happens because sometimes by mistake their residence in something which cannot go into the shadow for example sometimes their pieces of plastic and maybe a broken bottle is there so this sift through it and then this we used is put in the shed. the resulting mass is mixed in a drum with horticultural waste and. bio enzyme so you get your nitrogen from the kitchen we use to get your carbon from the dry leaves and the bio and same boats like the excellent heater. the drums of rotated 5 times a day for your ration and to prevent them from smelling finally they are lined with

dried leaves and a semi come pasta and left to mature for one and a half months. so this is what has been harvested from the metal bins after the have removed it over a period of one and a half months and now once it's here sifted it sifted through for mangoes see then a little bit of plastic that sometimes left you then it's just left to mature for another week or so and then it becomes a beautiful come become both that you have seen. a lot she believes change needs to start at home to help get other local residents on board her group holds orientation and public awareness sessions for votes residents and domestic helpers along with volunteer home visits from the little gobbets kili that was story the key but i'm not home go the hasegawa takes a signal you would so we ask and i was going nowhere come out and i'll not say

so i do good and then it magically begins i haven't laid you don't put away any plastic into the goody in ways nobody knew it didn't do that so it's only going to stand when it's not much of a problem oh so what i feel the nirvana community say is that in the past 4 years they have processed the highest amount of waste of any community in google we've generated close to 250 tons of compost which has been used in a lawn sold to the residents and sold or to people from outside whether wishes to buy it it's available and. and also which means that the driveway is that's going out close to about $700.00 tons has been clean and has been able to go into. the recycling stream. the experience of monica community and that of other municipalities in india separating waste at source is a key starting point as well as citizens making collectively informed decisions

about dealing with their own waste. rethinking and read designing cities it's going to be an enormous task. how do you be possible to keep the cities of the future clean for example. c trash is a dirty smelly nuisance but we're just has a huge potential recycling by turning all into the new can make way for a sustainable so you know economy the netherlands seems to be moving the way for this. using natural resources at a very fast pace some are finite others renewable but nature can't keep up with us . we also generate vast amounts of greenhouse gases cities account for 70 percent of them the dutch capital amsterdam is aiming to create a circular economy by 2050 that involves containing the use of new roll materials

avoiding waste and reusing as much as possible by slashing emissions. the city sanitation department fishes $42.00 tons of floating plastic trash out of the canals every year a lot more probably gets through. we never got around to ferrets of all the plastic in the ocean actually traveled by reverse there are quite some trash you see on the street or that this is there and in this rivers and then of course the rivers flow to work to see you so it's one of the kind of transport and magnus magnusson to push and that's why we would really like to stop it there a memory. the lanes is behind us start up the great bubble barrier and it's ineffective technology here's how it works a chub is laid across the bed of the waterway there is pumped out of holes along it the bubbles drive trash in the water to the surface towards the bank and into

a receptacle. tests have shown that on average 86 percent of trash in the water can be collected in this way. the garbage that ends up in the container is removed 3 times a week. for now only one bubble barrier has been installed in amsterdam it's a pilot project but the potential both in the city and world white is enormous. you have multiple factors that have interest in this for example you can imagine the companies that have a benefit of tourists coming by they want beaches that are clean maryland riverside that are clean they want to have terraces very and fit all nicely and on the moment you install such such a system you can you can make it's going to make sure that looks nice to visit again the firm has received financial support from the government it's also working

on ways to recycle all the collected trash. cities also generate lots of waste water as unlikely as it might seem the water flushed down our toilets contains valuable resources that could be retrieved. scientists in the netherlands have developed a new waste water purification system to do just that. one of the end products is a gun they call cow mera which has many up locations as a glue or binding agent in the manufacturing and construction industries. but if you want to have a circular society or an insurance that should go all the way strange and waste water is a very important way strange and that. one day so what happens if you are judged by a gas whether it's but by gas relatively low failure application and i producing this got me i just don't know we can use this before i show you applications show what you want to do in d.n.c. bunch of pictures i show you building material sort of using wastewater flowcharts

. standard industrial plants are made from oil which is not good for the environment. in the new process bacteria purify the waste water. comair is a side benefit a single plant can produce up to $800.00 tons of ice a year. and this research is a working on new bio degradable materials. they mix cow marrow with recycled toilet paper and various combinations of peach pits and almonds and pistachios shells. so far they've made great signs undeveloped architectural cleansing material made out of 80 percent organic materials. more r. and d. is needed before this new composite based on cow merit and toilet paper can come to market the prospects look good. for instance tropical hardwoods that's beatable by

this material and also aluminum and now the minister huge markets with aluminum has a very very high c o 2 footprint and a good thing of this material if you can beat it's all mechanical properties and also you have 2 properties you beat it and you were sort of the prize will be the challenge and i think the coming to new years we will try to replace aluminum body discovered near accomplished that material. recycling and up cycling organic waste and construction waste could be a money spent and would certainly be good for the environment. spent known as a great place for emissions for recycling for decades it's still a long. way from achieving a circular economy. the plan is to make that happen by 2050 and ambitious goal for a city to time and to be a pioneer. for the last 15 years an organization in the desert of

the largest part has been planting at least one tree every day if somebody this is not possible they plan to have trees the next mobilizing a community to restore the trees to the added region is not the only and it also extends to securing its people's future and making them climate resilient. the women and children of lumber village in the state of judges time out by the lake this morning. with all of one of the floating lotus flowers have disappeared and they've thought of an ingenious way to disperse seeds in the water. if they're finding a doctor she says we can go in because it's too deep on and i was so we thought we'd make small balls of money with a lot to seed in each and hope they will germinate far out in the early. next year next year it would be full of lotus flowers it would look beautiful and would also

be great for the environment. that's. the local and so in our volunteers with a local ngo name she called through sun's town. its young volunteers come together to help green their village and plant saplings countless trees have been cut down as the dijon has developed. the organization was founded by environmental activist vishnu lumber. he planted his 1st sapling when he was 11 and he now spends all his time growing saplings and distributing them across the region. lumber village has adopted his philosophy and several activities revolve around the love and respect for trees. today is how the early among us here and i knew in the festival. a procession winds its way through the village to

a bow bob tree that stands beside the temple. of god is believed to reside within it and to grant wishes anything from good health to financial gain. for those who never got a sickly says to this gathering the desert dense of the village sure that commitment to conserving and nurturing mother earth but the sacred tree is more than a plant it is a guiding force for us but i got somebody one of our. trainees are also important for the women of lumber. they have restarted to make plates from the leaves of banyan trees. and sell them to nearby villages where. this is a traditional craft that has been neglected for some time with the women say that this is help them economically during the pandemic which has halted some of the other work. while. other

volunteers spent time weeding and clearing the village of invasive plants. they also replant needed species that are important for the ecosystem and have medicine in value yet they hope this will help build immunity at this time of danger. people here say their village is greener than others nearby and that they want to keep it that week. you know the one guy like i have a very big aim in life i want to try to transform 100 villages into environmentally friendly smart villages and to plant 50000000 trees in my lifetime i've been through all of this will get a lot of your. lumber village is an example of an anti a community really adopting a green way of life. in tune with the way their parents and grandparents once lived .

the wind who was a few little they pride themselves for their practice of organic farming the canary islands with its the landscape she. provides exceptional conditions. and the venue me cultivation practice. even. this is the wine producing region on the island of land so water vines grow in 3 metre deep craters designed to protect the plants from harsh winds wind grower pedro limits and his family have been farming in this land for 3 generations the grape harvest is done entirely by hand the volcanic ash plays a vital role in nursing the plants. what's important for the harvest is that the volcanic earth mixture stores the humidity of the rain for the entire year.

that's why the vines grow so well and are so fresh. fields used to cover this land until a major volcanic eruption hit the island in 1730 lava spewed for over 6 years destroying the agriculture later it was discovered that the earth here was full of minerals conducive to growing grapes. ignacio remeron is a qualified biologist for him preserving the traditional methods of farming is the main priority. people have lost most of their land and so what they had to do was to continue surviving and this difficult terrain that's why they started to dig holes knowing that underneath. so they planted the blinds in these holes and it turned out to be. and that's in a place where it hardly rains the ash storage $150.00 millimeters of annual

rainfall into service. each creator can produce up to 20 kilos of grapes or 20 bottles of wine the vines here are all organic some 100 of the 1000 wine growers on the island have abandoned chemical pesticides and instead of focusing on ecological methods to protect their crops paige ole miss is one of the farmers who receives advice from her marrow on organic farming methods the biologist explains why lime plays an important role. one of a serving here is line which in traditional organic agriculture is used to combat caution ale and sex symbol it has traditionally always been used but when people began using chemicals as a pesticide that tradition was largely forgotten. this is organic because what i use is a line i wasn't getting any results with chemical fertilizer it just didn't work at all so i went back to sulphur which is what my grandparents used. to

enjoy the temperate climate all year round the annual wine harvest here begins at the end of july taking place much earlier than elsewhere in europe farmers offload their graves to the local wine cellars which in turn produce about $3000000.00 bottles per year alone number by industrial production standards around 75 percent of the wine stems from the mouth of a c. a grape and it's sold across the canary islands the red and white wines are made for immediate consumption. i mean that the wine from lanzarote is unique in an outstanding way it comes from a very harsh climate with a lot of wind a lot of dryness a lot of heat and so the vines absorb a lot of intense tropical mineral aromas you know which we then also find and the wine. 250 years of wine making in an unlikely environment. but the traditional method used on line to row to has proven

that it can stand the test of time. the disruption caused by the fact. that we conduct the op is looking into what we can draw from we went to. make sure the urgency of climate change and make the wizard to think about its consequences. fumi earth beneath your feet that's literally part of the experience at the down to earth exhibition at the march in gropius bal gallery in berlin it's art you can touch. a real puddle scooped from a berlin street with antarctica on the wall behind some of the very 1st underwater photographs the focus is on the earth and climate and without bright gallery lighting. and the clock says this photo is completely new is that we're not using

electricity the light is simply the light that comes through the window we're not showing any films there are no loud speakers for a few weeks with this project we're changing the entire system under which the art world normally functions we didn't go anywhere by playing everything we're using we're using in a sustainable way. this was before this from bend over and is one of the curators of the show he's an author and man of the theater and director of the berlin effect that puts on arts events including this one. the project explores nature in all its variety as well as threats to nature and the role we humans play in that process of destruction. as the tradition born in me said museum in madrid there's

a temporary exhibition that tackles pressing questions about how human activity is affecting nature especially the oceans. it's almost going. to war and through that lens 'd you can. start thinking about what are the main thing i see any space in you can think about just pieces you can feel like they're wearing the sound we're listening now that's the way. the exhibition by joan jonas is called moving off the land to the permanent collection also contains paintings from the 19th century that can be seen as a critique of the destruction of nature. our has never been silent and artists have always been nouns through their warps situation of

premium sound so sale in the us and all these kind of problems a long tradition of environmental thinking in art is on display here moving off the man and also explores the way phenomena are interconnected across the globe climate change is very much connected with being a muslim tribes with indigenous people but also we've of the fishing we've never to be in india because in the end it's all part of the for very basis. at the show in berlin visitors can take part in hands on workshops that engage with fundamental ideas behind the project. they have enough to take a span from i'm really excited to see how the museum has set up the exhibition it's unplugged without artificial lights an air conditioner i think it's really important if you. thank you somebody face the woodworking workshop is also unplugged visitors can try out sustainable building methods without using any power

tools. for 1. 100 years ago everything was done by hand without electric tools we can do the same today it's not magic or anything special if you have the time you can do it all by hand. many different aspects of art come together here but there is a common concern how to strike the right note in the debate about people and the environment. it is a vast problem and our contribution to addressing it is of course tiny but we're sending a signal as are many others normally an exhibition address is just one audience but we invite many kinds of audiences to this exhibition so they can meet and give each other strength and. these 2 exhibitions may be a source of inspiration as we really evaluate our relationship with the natural world. humans.

we thrive in our community types i hope to be is that it has inspired you initiate also communities relationship. that's all we have for today i'll see you again next week until then stay safe and take good care of yourselves and your loved ones go back.

your whole system needs to relax safe and energy and if not make for power. what you think what do crushing and having metal concert have in common nothing researchers say there is because both are effective measures for relaxation it all depends on your personal preference. rolf is feeling stressed out and cranky. hormones are released in his brain that cause an increased heart rate. his blood pressure goes up extra oxygen and energy are sent to his muscles and his blood sugar prices. his body is preparing for a flight or fight response. his family could also use a holiday. the high your stress levels the longer it takes for your body to recover

. science has figured out the main prerequisites for relaxation. and i'm not the 1st of all switch off do nothing for guesswork. but rolf can't he keeps thinking about unfinished business that's an obstacle to relaxation. research shows that if you want to unwind you need to free your mind. toasted and also helps reduce stress responses it's known as the cuddle hormone because it's triggered by togetherness and social bonding to the way. of course pre-requisites make your own choices. you need to believe that lying

around in the sun all day isn't actually good for you. because setting yourself challenges also has a calming effect. on leaving your comfort zone and learning new things build self-confidence. that last but not least meaningful activity or purpose can help you to relieve stress 2. the whole family is feeling rested and that's good for their health. 2 studies show that relaxation reduces the risk of dying of cardiovascular disease can help you lose weight and lower your cholesterol level. we reach peak relaxation in the middle of our vacation. after that we start to tense up again rolf is thinking about work heading home triggers stress hormones. it takes between $1.00 and $4.00 weeks for the relaxing

effects of a holiday to wear. our health mood and cognitive resilience all go down hill regardless of how long the holiday was. now it's time for all of to apply his holiday relaxation chips to everyday life. we just saw in the report that it's important to find the challenge is to create new habits like for instance knitting or playing chess so this might be good for expansion but how can i fit this into my busy schedule. yeah. very famous and why why do you want a new challenge in your life and with a big why would you increase for the talent and then make it music you too may. to go for the new challenge and link the challenge. very easy the normal way to go from home to office from office back to

home and then next. new challenges was felt by many men or colleagues or friends and so on and now we have social commitment and not only in the new challenge. and a good time with good friends big time the thief waste of time is my cell phone my mobile phone it always brings it always brings him since me some messages and so on so i can't just switch it off because i have to be available for my patients for family emergencies and so on so how can it cope that yeah yeah yeah smart phone is very hot in the 1st generation to have. the chance to deal with a smile from the right way and 1st of all don't think about using a smartphone in black or white in. person off on a course and on. that you have to split between emergency calls yeah.

and push notifications from what's app social media and news feeds app and. push up notifications then are 50 percent less pings beings on your smartphone and that's a good strategy and then talk with you people around you if it's possible that you have 2 hours in the day you could go in a flight mode and everybody know that you have now you'll need time for relaxation and so on and you know that's it was saturday when my smartphone actually has a do not disturb spot in the function on it and i wish that my wife would have a do not restore button on her because when i come back home and i want to relax she says go get some shopping done or renovate the house and so how should i deal with that yeah. yeah the deal between internal needs and external expectations. it's normal between human beings especially in families and companies and

we could understand the position of sea of a person that's how it's creating empathy is very good thing for me is doing sports and exercise i like to go out for a run and nobody can disturb me but isn't running and exercising and stress or by itself. not at all it depends on the type of sports type and. the stork option market you invest energy in the best case you are getting more energy back if you go for 30 minutes 130 minutes of energy physically and then after that you go in to relax ation mode and the next day you have more energy and you feel you will simulate so fight and flight mode and run 111 and that's when you who are. a attention especially in sports is

optimizing track and then stress sports only stress record. and that's not. that it's more stress for you for your daily life. recovery after sport is also an important part of relaxation this is where our energy is restored there are numerous possibilities of regeneration one of them is a bath in ice cold water. mountain bike racing with clients scale strengths and engineering so. kim has competes in races regularly say she needs to train effectively and recover quickly after each race. she's taking part in a study looking at various methods of recovery. i'm going to splurge i'd like to

find out what's the fastest and most effective way for me to recover after a hard training session or race and if i have 2 races on one weekend how to make sure i'm fit on the 2nd day i mention next time we don't have the sports physicians ashman thing 1st checks kim's blood he checks you realize falls which can be raised after exercise and creating kinase all c.-k. levels which indicate tiny injuries in the muscles caused by hard training. kim didn't do any training yesterday so she should be resting her muscles one of good works particularly when she should know having negative energy basket so she can use real levels should be lowered this morning. after giving a blood sample she does a performance test came miss feeling good and powers away. 5 minutes for power ok thanks. then she hits the road kim does a typical training session on

a cross-country track 2 sets of 20 minutes full power with a 5 minute break in between. christian hatter is a keen soccer player and is doing similar tests separateness course he will check his blood in the same way but 1st he has to answer questions on how fifty's feeling today. the study is time consuming but the 27 year old was keen to take part. more when i was as an amateur athlete i want you to know what my recovery time is like and how fit i am physically i'm also from. the piston was also told to rest before undergoing the test the 1st test to do 3 sprints to see how fit he is. after all soccer players meet the fox you.

can throw them on you can do better than that. he then begins a regular training session 90 minutes of dribbling and passing all brief fast movements it's quite a different form of exercise to cycling you. do. lunges and question but when you look at what happens during football you can see there are a lot of fast sprints and stops that lead to inflammatory processes which cause tiny injuries in the muscles demanded. and never says so so will need to stimulate other processes to aid recovery for doing that so on both athletes try out various recovery methods during the test 1st mountainbike it kim spends time pedaling slowly after training. postin meanwhile jogs gently for 15 minutes both of these cooling down methods are

known to be beneficial but could a facial role for example be more effective on the 2nd day both athletes spend 20 minutes massaging their facial muscles after training. it's a technique that i often use to help me recover after training i like the black. market it's been my daily companion for years take your book writer for me. kim is also used to doing math so i was training with a facial roll or black roll. and was on time after a hard training session and it's quite painful at 1st but if you do it often for a few days in a row it gets better so good after the final training they go for the 3rd method an ice bath it's $28.00 degrees celsius outside the water is just 12 degrees it's the 1st time christian has tried. thank you. with

these hot temperatures it's not bad. it's kim's 1st time to feel. wow it's cold. but cold water causes all the blood vessels to constrict and then dilated and afterwards helping to repair tiny tears in the muscles quickly. the next stage of pag get their results through godless of what type of school you do it always varies from one individual to another as to which recovery method helps best results for kim and a similar pedaling or jogging slowly proved to be the least effective. some but knowing it was a flawed him all 3 recovery methods helped you but the most effective step like the ice bath was

a bit better than the facial would have been my 2nd favorite ok christian 2 of the recovery methods worked i knew the ice bath was the best so that was what got the biggest improvement between before and after for much less bad that. was the impression i had to do you know that christians going to go out in patches of water but while kim can stick with the more convenient fiction well. this does it all back it's in the middle of the day if you're having a nap come on this is germany you have to work no time for napping yeah netting is not normal in germany but in asia it's connected with performance because the logic is you perform very well before the lunch time and then you're getting the power nap after the lines and. connection between net and power and after the nap you have more power.
