others found our media barava is proud of that. she started the organisation in 2014. now she also runs in operation on the outskirts of foss, alona that produces its own brand of preserves, made from food that otherwise would be thrown away in the past few years around 50 people found a job here. financing is generated for the sales of the preserves and state funding or media about about needs more soon. she wants to expand grammar from while they know them, but if, as of yet we created a social business model that has 3 aims. so here let's get the reduction of food loss mainly of vegetables and free. it's kelly men, the right to healthy nutrition for every one, but especially for those and a vulnerable situation. the but i feel that i for and we also wanted to offer job opportunities for these people out it out of me. i would i left but i felt much on that invalid. we're promoting this projects as a model that can work not only on a national scale, but also internationally bit though,
7:14 am
because in every city there are these 3 necessity as it which are the reason we exist on an existence that depends on plenty of helping hands. the people here are happy to be contributing to a circular economy and social justice was that all had people in the long run with our goal is to disappear galia. but that would only happen if the problem, food loss and the other social challenges we face and were solved as have been done . so that might be a bit utopian. he annoyed the galenas of barcelona, are likely to have their work cut out for years to come, because there are still plenty of fields with an abundance to share. the western united states is also badly affected by drought and has been for more than 2 decades now. the effects of it's a very clear on lake powell and the 2nd largest dam in the u. s. is drying up
7:15 am
and uncovering a buried natural wanda. and that is staring debate a piece of paradise under water. no one on board here was even born when the glen canyon was drowned. a dam by the same name flooded this american natural wonder and created lake powell and artificial reservoir. the world under the lake surface had largely been forgotten, but now it sandstone cliffs are reappearing with a pronounced white bathtub ring for weight. quilter, it's a welcome sight. and we can only see the very top of it. it's almost like if it was a very beautiful person, and he could only see their eyes, everything else was covered. so we're seeing just the top. oh, i love to be able to see the rest. the week quilter is
7:16 am
a medical student and a river guide. today he's here with his fiance and his mother, janna, quilter, mother and son are fighting to resurrect the glen canyon. they feel it was a crime to flood it. that is, i did that. yeah. yeah. that nature fair and natalie is again, that somebody is regarding but not everyone here think so. $3000000.00 tourists flocked to lake powell every year until low water levels force the closure of many launch ramps we encounter just one boat. i want
7:17 am
it to be like, oh i yeah. the greg did it. yeah. i'm down, go like well, but nature is taking matters into its own hands. in recent years, water levels here have dropped by around 50 meters. 15 in 2021 alone. entire side canyons had been revealed and lost worlds recovered. what this entire area was once submerged. i was for this, this is what i was for. i can't imagine this day and age bearing this under water. again. this is what we're, we want. this is where we feel at peace like this is what i picture. i get excited thinking about coming here with my kids in the future, taking hikes through these canyons. yet thousands of people earn their living from
7:18 am
lade powell, mike and paul mcnabb. run a family business offering fishing tours. the striped bass are still biting. what's missing since the water level started falling farther torres to catch them? ours efficient as we've been pushing this like my dad and i since i was 2 years old . 1982. i mean, if it continues to go down the way that it is, i mean, we may not even have 5 years left, you know, but hopefully it stays up because i don't want to be looking for another job. you know, i really like what i'm doing and it's not about office out here. mike mc nap remembers the days when lake powell brim, with water, clearly resort. the water was flapping right up against the shore people. if they had a fishing pole, they could cast out their rooms into the warm but water levels have sunk to
7:19 am
a historic glow. the 2nd largest reservoir in the u. s. is just one 3rd full climate change and drought have lessened inflow. that paul mcnabb says to many u. s. states are over drawing the bank account, taking more water out of the lake, then comes in. the main part of it is, is the need for water. there's just phoenix l a. there's big cities, vegas, big cities that they're having a lot of people and they're getting bigger. go if they say i don't bang in line at like when they call last golf courses less fountains in las vegas and you know, just a lot more water conservation and, and even at where it should be in the lake, an artificial lake in the desert for some a big mistake for others, a business, the glen canyon dam, generates electricity for millions of people, but low water levels are putting that in jeopardy to mars. deputy power manager bob
7:20 am
martin aims to keep the damn operator. he says, hydro is a cleaner source of power than most at last, 22 years were moving a structure of this size. i would have huge environmental impacts on the, the river down below. yeah, that's kind of the trade off of, you know, when we develop these areas, you know, it's, it would be just about impossible in my opinion, to go back to what it was you know, 60 years ago. a colossal man made structure versus the massive architecture of nature. gregory bridge is a natural arc. that's until last fall stood completely under water. 2 2 now wade quilter can drive his boat under it, but there are very few people around to witness the world that's re emerging in many side canyons here. for hours. we don't see another soul
7:21 am
when navigating this section where tree tops are re emerging weight, quilter has to be extra careful. we're heading to the spiritual heart of glen canyon, the cathedral in the desert. long a place of pilgrimage for hikers. this natural monument could only be seen by divers after the canyon was flooded. but now everyone can marvel at its stunning beauty. so, we're only here for a split 2nd, this, this stuff. so we're, it's supposed to be here for a long time, visible things like millions of years. so hopefully we can just enjoy it and not mess with it. and how do you feel overwhelmed?
7:22 am
overwhelm the glen canyon is be revealed again. this one's monster. world is full of surprises and more wonders await. below the water's surface. 2 in 1950, a bitter 3 year war broke out between north and south korea. almost 4000000 people lost their lives. since then, the country has been divided into poverty stricken communist north korea and west and oriented south korea. the after effects of the war a still felt to day it's almost impossible to cross from north korea to the south. those who managed to flee, find themselves in a totally different world. oh, ah,
7:23 am
him t hoon and his family are winning team. he's gathered his brood together. he says bowling team spirit. his eldest foster son, hardy young is 28 and has long been independent. but the 10 year old johnson still clings to his father can't i? who lives in? so with 12 foster children from north korea, they all stick together and put up with a lot. you'll even miss that under 20000000 people say, watch out when they're around one tongue, one who knows how they were raised in north korea. ok, get on better. close the doors and windows, they can be dangerous one or one. okay. so thought korea, many north korean fling, poverty and repression in their homeland wind up here. even though they're korean,
