if you would like any information on the. topic. of. the. boston. given that this is a fact. but

also save the involvement in the process. of. these. instead of importing them. to create a more environmentally friendly indian wedding. since the leap on began her she's not just a significant shift in what couples now want on. perfect. so i have been doing this

for about 6 years now when i started this i have always been conscious of the choices that they are making so real have tried to implemented here in there and sometimes clients didn't know or we and we did inform them that by going to choose something different so i would say probably about 30 percent of the 6 years ago probably less so i guess 20 percent wanted something you've been but now i'm surprised myself to see so many people coming forward saying that they want eco friendly so i would see probably like about 70 to 75 percent people are kind of conscious and want you can find the things. traditionally indian families celebrate marriage with and show. a wedding is a display of wealth and tradition. while there is an encouraging dream trend among urban indians delete lunch as it comes with a lot of challenges. people always thing that any girlfriend be reading is equal to being cheap so that has been

a challenge trying to get people away from that concept of eco friendly being cheap so there are many different aspects for an eco friendly wedding it can drain from a simple thing as having people or see people or even to digital and write for the in ways that you give your guests even as a simple thing like having chalkboard for your statement of them getting a flex printed which is again a one time use in terms of your truth or as well i would recommend probably using for one event at least your grandmother's study or your mother's wedding sobbing probably some jewelry as well. said months who is another green entrepreneur and ballio she founded venice s a t's 0 with shop. she says that duction is trendy but it isn't a new concept in the country. traditionally we used to live in a very easy to list we in india and i think in a lot of. the scores us narrative that's honestly don't need to buy

a western rhetoric. and i think essentially it's going to be used to do with snot that normally so i think it is can be very accessible it can be very armada me very average of indian. so it can be for everyone and it's just about making these small little micro life choices and then it just adds up. month sudan's workshops on the weekends to improve accessibility and get the community talking and thinking about reducing waste. she also publishes the d.i.y. ideas online with the idea that small changes can drive a big movement. i think sometimes gets a bad rap i've been too expensive all inaccessible and that's why we do all of these stocks and workshops so honestly we. just need a kitchen or your backyard and you can mostly make a lot of these products within like 20 rupees. but the idea is essentially you know

to make it just even accessible so that's a very transparent about at recipes it all on our website so if you want to make it yourself or you go for it because the ultimate aim is just for less waste to be held up in a landfill and alshon i'm optimistic that it's going to really change automation to good waste. and sustainability for the better. eco friendly living is often seen as a privilege of the ditch but with. the leap on championing small steps and improving people's access to green ideas indian consumers have increasing opportunities on their doorstep. let's take the example of rising energy needs. as an emerging nation with the world's 2nd largest population the soaring demand for energy in ever to build in india most of this demand is met by burning fossil fuels to be to the government to spur more and more people to buy

into the promise of valuable energy like solar power the actual switch is a very tedious process. building contractors to hard work has paid off in 2015 he bought a house where his family of 4. it's a big house complete with modern kitchen and air conditioning. the electricity bill is around $10000.00 rupees a month over $100.00 euros. to save money he decided to make the switch to renewables. we had heard of the government's solar dog and we wanted to contribute also i saw my neighbor mr go had also installed a who thought solar system in his house that's where i got the idea of installing one in my house system under his 200 square meter roof is ideal so she'll share my installed a rooftop solar system and 20 if it meets the household and energy needs. india

is home to a growing urban middle class experts say that of the trend continues the country's bar capita energy consumption is set to quadruple. in wasn't. you know. all. of this energy comes from you know 70 percent of initially. and. just. guesses so if this is to remain in the future. in energy in mind it also means there are a lot more coming from. greenhouse gas emissions. officially the government is backing an energy transition it has set a target of 100 gigawatt installed capacity of solar energy by 2022. 40 go what

will come from rooftop solar systems that's the equivalent output of 10 large coal fired power plants but so far it's achieved only fraction of the stargate the field is 0 for you know this is it indoors and though it was russian companies are using their. grounds. as you say. you know if you use process or a rationing so that when it comes to violence the. solar level. and the banks are a little lower in. the company my son specializes in rooftop solar panel systems it also helps clients navigate the people work involved. the indian state subsidies the installation but the country is still a long way from reaching its clean energy targets. the

real revolution of solar will only come when people like you and i are businesses are those buildings industries corporates hotels everyone starts using solar because everyone has roofs i mean. so if you have millions of buildings. or you have buildings you have potentially a space for a solar setting up a solar power project or so she'll share mine the investment was worth it in the last 2 years his 7 kilowatt solar panel system has produced 22000 units of electricity. it was most of the biggest benefit for me was that of the total cost of a piece $4.00 and a half lakh i was able to pay in installments of a piece. sometimes my legacy bill would be working more than that i didn't have to pay anything extra and made this shift for free. as india's middle class continues to grow the country's energy demand is soaring especially in the cities but if more families switch to renewables as the show must have done india's growth want to be

at the expense of the environment. a great idea often needs the right time to come to fruition for bicycle enthusiastic london that proved to be the onset of the pandemic the don't know why this crisis has meant fewer cars and a lot more bikes on the city's streets and this could help make a big policy push toward stunning london into a bicycle friendly city. the cyclist and wounded to be quite comforting. when you're with the road one day if you're a competent cyclist is not really much of a problem but you have to be going to more or less the speed of the trough a new presence on the road has to be quite strong. philip jones and rides his bike everywhere he cycles some 20000 kilometers a year. on tech from the films and his family are pleased that more and more

londoners are discovering the joys of cycling. there all the cycling enthusiast from the time they were young children broke their bikes to school. that's still something of an oddity and until that happens could soon change. in school. for advancing get people cycling. the next generation i think the bethany be more confident. on the buy a person would think they should just go ahead and close 50 percent. side streets just. to cause don't need to go on 50 percent so give us access to everybody. as much as possible. those kinds of demands get london's taxi drivers the riled up the cities cabbies are among scientists the racist critics. who don't get rid of all of them. they would and then uses the

traffic at the moment is terrible. row. so whatever michael moore sorcha license is just going to make the traffic even worse sty joyous because half the people who saw it drag the moment don't know the high white collars and the small percentage that they're not high like. it is. so this should be some sort of a test for cyclists and yes london's in a city is currently swarming with bicycles as the qur'an the crisis in a new age of mentality. cyclists now have some powerful supporters behind them there will be a huge amount of planning going into helping people to get to work other than by mass transit and this will be i hope and of the my writing for a while as a former secretary of transport i will agree this is should be a new golden age for cyclists but they must act fast when commuters return on mass it won't be enough buses or trains to accommodate them and it's here to social

distancing missions if even a small percentage of these commute to start using cars instead london will be fixed with 10 children. the temptation to get into medical will be very very strong and understandable so i think we've got a short window of time to reach out to both the politicians and to the public to say there is a better right after this. and it's the city london's financial district is leading the way. during the day access is restricted to prices and bikes only. and sidewalks are being widened to give kids estrin small room. and in some residential districts streets are being limited to 3 traffic drivers are having to find other groups. 1 and. i owe all. of this just in these few weeks there's an amazing opportunity to connect. a lot of

the unconnected parts to get the local councils on board to get the local roads closing those who are cycling nuances this trip luna rossa. during the corona crisis london feels a bit more like bike friendly amsterdam. phillip johnson and his family hope it will stay that way though this new golden age for cycling seems almost too good to be true. when the cycle struck eastern india in mid 2020 the world heritage site but this wasn't spared located in the bay of bengal it constitutes the largest mango for us on earth and is at the receiving end of many mental calamities local communities are now putting their heads together to find long term sustainable solutions to improve the living conditions in

a place they call home. like then unpin had barely come and gone when help arrived in the sunderbans. volunteers from the quarantine students network set up pumps to expel the salt water that had collected in the fish ponds. the immediate aim of the emergency assistance was to enable locals to return to fish farming and also prevent an outbreak of disease. public. health and hygiene are seriously destructive here and need to be restored stagnant water is dangerous as it can lead to gastro intestinal diseases as well as skin conditions and then there is the often ignored issue of snake bite bite. this fish farmer however no longer sees a future here for herself and her family. and what can we do we are dependent on relief now once

a lockdown is lifted we will have to leave this in their banks to find work there is nothing left here. this in advance is home to 4000000 people it's located in the delta formed by the confluence of the brahmaputra ganges and magna rivers and has a unique ecosystem but the region is frequently hit by storms it took years for the residents to recover from cyclon iowa in 2009 before being devastated again in may of this year. and neil is at least relieved that this time his home was not destroyed by supercycle and his family also survived and hers. were given to the family lives in a part of the same divans where a large section of protective levees has been erected. i was coming along by months of already been built inside julia and lara poorly these areas have traditionally face tremendous damage due to site loans and what you will surprisingly this time they were saved because william. next to our religion rang

a bell. which used to suffer a lot because of the storms but this time the concrete embankments have saved the day. it's been 11 years since the indian government decided to build the cinder vans in 5 minutes but just 5 kilometers have been completed to date that section withstood the recent storms and also proved useful for transporting emergency aid so people here now have construction will continue at a faster pace it's a go society for rural development is an ngo that's been helping local residents since the 1970 s. and got. on in. the lives of the people in the stelter always hanging on a thread. so no one really knows what danger awaits them and they're just. predictable and they will get worse we need to be properly prepared by quins our

best bet. but the embankment still can't stop the salt water from getting into the fields and neil knows he has to adapt by farming his land differently. in some of his fields he's now planted more durable plants. i want to look down now there was an organization based in delhi helps us with farming certain pulses can grow even in storm prone areas where salt water frequently enters not want to what good is it going i was not going to last 5 years we've been growing a range of lentils and pulses across 200 hectares. because this can prove to be more sustainable for cycling prone regions like ours. the future of the people living in the city buns will depend on how quickly they can change which crops they plant and how and how soon the embankments can be completed because the

cyclons will return with growing frequency and intensity. when faced with the natural calamity not only humans but animals need support to survive to female orangutans for example breeds and produce only 45 offspring stored in their lifetime and the mother of a young girl offspring. with the wife and animal welfare project in sumatra even during the pandemic is teaching these. kids to do just that. humans have to keep their distance from to even at lunch time. because both species are risk of contracting the new coronavirus. these are rang a tang's are under lockdown and have had to stay in their cages for months.

this is yellow school is closed you can train them to buy it introduce them to get them for it so we bring the forest for them so it's like. right. thermites and all this for us. so they can learn that it's their meals are delivered wrapped in leaves so they have to figure out how to get the food useful practice for when they're later released into the wild. cages or disinfected twice a day. hygiene is of crucial importance. the teams who care for the animals rotate every 3 weeks before they start work staff have their temperature taken another coronavirus precaution they shot the video for this report themselves we talked to the head of the project by video call. or we're going to. argue.

about a long time d.n.a. is 97 percent identical to the out of humans so they're extremely susceptible to all our diseases especially those affecting the risperidone tract. you know that's the main reason why we've imposed such a strict quarantine to make sure there's no transmission of a virus replicating in humans to a population in the wild. it would probably have no immunity atoll to such a virus or how. the effects could be devastating. dr beller has been reporting on this project for years through the aim is to prepare a rang a tanks for survival in their natural jungle habitat in the bucket to go pollute rain forest in central so much trust. many were rescued as orphans often held captive as pets under terrible conditions they had forgotten or had never learned

how to move through the tree tops forage for food and build nests their keepers at the jungle school teach them all these skills usually out in the forest itself. a racket things enjoy piggyback rides many of them don't like to walk much this was before the coronavirus pandemic. so no exercises in the forest for now even though they have so much to learn is. probably the most important item on the curriculum a jungle school is learning about fruit trees what they look like and when they bear fruit. in which a season or and which years. in order to survive every rung in town has to develop a 4 dimensional map in their head covering space and time it takes time to learn all that but we've had to suspend a learning process where the trees and when do they bear fruit as the iraq and

times have to stay in their cages. the lockdown can only be relaxed once the pandemic has been contained this is not good for the animals their fitness deteriorates and they become bored even the not the best preconditions for release and survival in the law. those that have already been set free currently lead better lives keepers go on patrol to check on them and provide extra food if need be. here to social distancing applies. our work. so. yes for sure. they. the school is located in the book to take up who rain forest and releases its

graduates there it's a very remote location. so should any rang it tangs here catch the coronavirus they won't pass it on to other ones in the wild. what's more they tend to be naturally self isolating creatures anyway and don't hang out in big groups. the team faces the challenge of protecting their wards from possible infection while also training them for release. this video was shot a couple of years ago there is no guarantee that a self-sustaining population will emerge here again over the past half century 80 percent of the region's rain forests have been cut down to make way for vast plantations. on our last visit paid to pocket stress the importance of saving the forest and teaching the orangutans survival skills. if the orangutans are able to survive here and all the other animals in the rain

forest animal community will be to the tigers elephants and old the other species that's why it's so important to protect them. the number of covert 1000 cases among humans in indonesia continues to rise. the project has a back up plan if the lockdown goes on for too long it will release its a ragged tang's into the wild before they've completed their schooling but will then provide them with longer term support out in the forest it's that way the irag attains will be able to settle and have offspring and their numbers can grow until the threat of extinction here is banished. i hope you had many take abuse from to be a stroke especially that a modern society needn't really how about determination to live an environmentally sustainable life i'll see you again next week until then good bye.

means that many hospitals are understaffed and their workers are not sufficiently protected against the virus finally the 3rd the pen demick has also worsened the already precarious situation of refugees and migrants lockdowns and border closures have left some trapped in squalid camps without access to vital supplies well earlier i spoke with that shobna belie from amnesty international i began by asking him how bad the situation was. is as bad as it gets. deleted out those who would. give us the most. data that at least and those who love my job would be exposed as a monster and bucyrus some of the examples this is the situation of if you see my thoughts in 5 to many countries the situation in which 3 bridges in my words even. by these bondevik take a look at the examples for us bush was mexico where. he said

infection numbers from more than 12000 at the start of february 2 few of them 400 just 9 weeks later. here outside lispunds largest hospital more than 40 ambulances had to wait in line in front of the emergency ward during the worst days of the pandemic now only a few covert patients have to be treated in the intensive care unit and a field hospital on the other side of the street was close to weeks ago some observers are already talking about the miracle of portugal but the new national leaves more in science than miracles and if you're damn ologist he's a member of the portuguese government's coronato advisory group he says one of the most unpopular lockdown measures could have been decisive. sequencing to learn numbers went down some watch when we 1st closed the shops and made remote working compulsory but it was only when we closed all the schools that the infection

there though my fear is that my daughters will go hungry one of them still under 18 . there's also my granddaughter and i think to myself well they go hungry and that will wipe us out from up until december the brazilian government provided those in need with around $1000.00 euros per month in aid community centers like this one has been offering free meals but donations have dropped president both scenarios administration is once again offering help but a more modest amount a community movement known as g 10 is demanding more. for similar thoughts since in point perhaps the emergency a lot of $23.00 euros is enough to buy a domestic gas cylinder 5 kilograms of rice and one kilogram of a family can't survive a month on that it's shameful brazil is a rich country and letting its population go hungry and the pandemic is still out of control brazil is
