a good to go beyond a as we take on the world. 8 our i do understand we're all about the stories that matter to you. whatever it takes. hi, police, my follow a deal we are here is actually on fire made for mines with old habits. die hard, but the was most impressing problems from global heating to pollution and

biodiversity of all demand that we change our ways. we have fascinating examples lined up for you to make that illustrate the in fact, adjustments can hello and welcome to eco india. i'm sorry that my family, like many in india, celebrates the festival of garnished booty in honor of one of the most popular hindu deities. at the end of the celebration, the idols are meant to be immersed in a water. bonnie, this is a fabled ritual. r idle, which is made of metal, is a most dumb at home, but many idols in india, a made of non biodegradable fall materials and end up polluting the water body there. it must meet links on the sea. some activists, n g o z and officials have been working to make this celebration more sustainable. ah,

a sounding of drums to honor the god ganesha. the festival of guinea, chateau d, marks, his book and deeds back centuries. a more recent ritual in celebrations was introduced in the early 20th century, the faithful welcome, the elephant garden to their homes and communities in the form of an id. though people come here to seek their lift avenue. anything they want bought from god, then that above this is with them. in one by alone, some 200000 ideas about every yoke. most of them small skin figures for use and family homes. traditionally, these have been made from non biodegradable blast of batteries or b o b and decorated with synthetic beans that contain heavy metals like lead cadmium, zinc and ion. that's a problem at the end of the festival. when the idle is immersed into

a water body as a symbol of the gods return to nature, no matter whether it's of a lake odyssey the environmental impact is severe. as clean up activists geno collector has seen on mom buys beaches. last year we saw all our biggest disaster were thousands of fresh dead fish fishes read out because of fund zooming be will be more didn't. i know. that's how that's how the chemical effects the ah modern speeches. plaster of paris idols are still widely available despite at wendy wendy government bank. all, it's faced pushback from hundreds of thousands of artisans and vendors who say it tenants their livelihood. but there are families opting for various eco friendly versions of families like the auroras. yeah, you know, with the idols day bring home is made from natural clean it's known as a tree kanisha because seed some extent of the clear when it's time bloomers,

the idol, the family places it in a bucket of water where it eventually dissolves into a foot l sludge to grow saplings. other families in the auroras complex have switch to tree ganesh as to a boon for their shared garden. we are going and because this will be a planting every household believes, bringing not reagan each. i saw that, you know, we're not doing the least age of that being toxic and to see more so this, these are been language from the r league anesha we 3 abilene regularly from. so any us, so really history is in our society. up landing this, we are on the doors and their neighbors, and the only ones concerned about the festivals environmental impact. i made increasing cause for idols to be recycled. authorities have also launched a pilot program to salvage clay figures. glucagon put the r, r a governors kick in as a result of our awareness campaigns and we are receiving many clay idols this year, leg and put their numbers is have increased at a look. woodward,

near nachos re mails ready for michelle horner after it disintegrates on its own delay. we removed the clay dryer, dry gun nearby, and recycle it with local cooper. artisans, welcome myrtle idea. how money available in the play is brought here to book shops run by artisans who 1st separate the valuable cli from left over plastics. once brought to the right consistency sculptor stud fashioning that lay into new idols for other hindu celebrations. the upcoming november the festival, for example, when idols will again be in high demand apart from recycling, municipal governments and encouraging people to stop immersing their idols in natural water bodies this year when by set up dozens of artificial ponds across the city like this one at the entrance to a beach in june that usually draws large crowds for emotion ceremonies efficiency, the idea is catching on. and about a 3rd of the idol searches this year ended up in tanks like these.

unfortunately for marine wildlife, the rest washed up on monday shores, where activists, again worked to keep the deputy but they did not an improvement thanks in large bar to arise and awareness the youth of the nation is definitely understanding the meaning of festivals. i'm making it and are very equal friendly and not always we divided by lead, easy, easy, all, all kind of festival is where there is a center dies. oh, in the society where they're spreading them, i say that message still needs to reach many more people. and they need to pitch in to ensure that the 4 big into festival celebrated every year in monday and across india can go green. well, with venetia, the viodias of remove out of obstacles. he may be the deity in worked by many indian farmers battling climate change. increasingly irregular weather conditions

had led to unprecedented crop losses dealing for the blows to a sector where poverty is widespread. a private forecasting agency is trying to help by providing farmers with accurate, customized, where the predictions ah, getting up after yet. another storm, a number of cheese have been down for farmers and the john are from what about asian? each tree means a loss of 3000 b. that's around $37.00 euros or one 5th of his entire monthly income. ah, but that is over kate mother. though abra, it is very upsetting to see the loss. but if i will always depends on his crops and losses, like these did yearly cost, immediately on my lapel organized, i got up and got over. last year, 5000000 hectares are farmland and india, devastated by storm. climate change is making these extreme weather events more

extreme and harder to predict. every year, thousands of small scale farmers are driven to despair unable to feed their families. dcc site as the only way out in 2020 alone 5000 farmers took their own life. ready ready the indian government has introduced an insurance system to try to cushion farmers losses. the only problem is because many farmers have had bad experiences with insurance companies in the past. the often don't bother making a claim when a lot of comes to claim that insurance, there is not enough manpower to conduct the res door. if there is a timeframe to conduct the survey, there are not enough people to learn the little there. so insurance isn't popular among farmers only around

a quarter of the farm land in india. in short, the government is now aiming to expand that to at least half the land so that more farmers safe, guarded from financial losses. one private company could possibly be of help you, sky met, provide better for us, more than 7000 better stations spread across in the record, the whether assisted by satellite imagery. this is very useful information for insurance companies. we are having data sets, insurance companies basically comes to the say that during that particular period supposed to be in that particular month. so building the month of may or june, there was a edwards weather condition and we need to search for some insurance claims and particularly the over form. so they comes to us and we basically lose the units to them. ah, in sunday panel's home village of deborah around 80 farmers have joined

a new insurance scheme. agents document the size of each farm and the nature of its produce. in the event of damages that data is passed to sky met, which forwards it with the relevant weather data to the in sean sunday, brianna is also in the scheme for 3 years now. has feels have been and shot. he mainly grows mangled. the insurance costs him 7500 rupees for 6 months. that's around $94.00 euros, but it's only 5 percent of the real cost. the state based the rest. last year, almost his entire mango harvest was bite out. do do prolong drought quoted by heavy rain. ready thankfully, he wasn't sean, the customer come down on it. i think it wasn't possible to calculate in front office. i could have own from the sale of the mangos, but jordan jordan, say god, 323-5000 of these reach at least covered all my cost, but he's got

a big warrior 1000000. ah, so that's around for 40 euros for fertilizer and pesticides, which nearly all the farmers here use. in addition to working with insurance companies. sky mm. it also makes its better data available for users of it's up a growing number of farmers are using the app for their walk in the field. the forecast give them a tool to make plans blue. ready gray sky, if i to this climate our, that we get to know about whether the year we know if it's going to rain or not and if he's on, so we know if we should to spray the fertilizer that day or so the garages want to get over there, ah, climate change have massively increase the risks faced by farmers. but smart idea like better express in sean solutions. he can at least limit their losses and see if they're likely more for the future. ah. another knock on effect of climate

change is a dramatic loss of species around the world. if what's that underway to bring endangered species back from the brink? not just to save animals, but also to help mitigate climate change. to find out how that is supposed to work, our reporter met a team in bulgaria, dealing with the creepiest species of them all. while chose the vulture has a pretty bad reputation, me forever. chillen, who says like a villain, bearing on a a most evil character. i'm up here in the mountains of bulgaria, where these guys are the central characters of the story. and the good guys around the world groups are bringing vultures back as well as other wildlife from linquist, beaver's, even new region wolf. and the goal is for them to play

a key role in mitigating the climate crisis. we're living through what's been called the 6th mass extinction, where up to a 150 species are going extinct every day. around the world, many groups are trying to reverse this and up on that mountain, one of the biggest such projects on the way i'm in the for a chance. cuba can nature park in western bulgaria accompanying a group of bird handlers. they're working on a potentially game tuning concept called re wilding. here it involves releasing vultures into the skies. the idea is for this to have a knock on effect on the whole ecosystem. we get to how that could all work in a minute, but 1st meet the vulture man in the spot. crystal pish of who's doing a ph. d on his infamous birds. so how many boards are like, actually in this area know before the birds move cross of the between difference or introduction areas between different colonies? you can look never say, but maybe around 100. 0,

the project began in 2016 to day. 13 young vultures are sitting in an aviary at the top of the mountain waiting to be released, where they come from. it is her name is funny, birds because they need to adapt. they need to meet the other birds in the area. they need to know the area, so they are watching the they are bring here and now they start to think of this place like they're cinder, their home, the vultures on the balkan ecosystem. go together like bread and butter. the extensive grasslands, wildlife, shepherds and vultures evolved together here, over thousands of years, supporting each other. every dime a wild animal, a sheep or cow dyed. the vultures stepped in the industrialization of she'd farming meant that the once open, grazing sheep moved indoors and died in doors, and vultures lost access to a large part of their food supply. these are still huge challenges for the birds

along with hunting, that population went down from possibly hundreds of thousands of vultures. mon 19 hundreds to one breeding pair of griffin vultures and 0 scenarios. vultures later on the century. so now the team is trying to bring them back, the voters, they're like the local recycling department. it's very important. they exist to clear up rot, which stop, so spread of disease. and more importantly for the ecosystem. as the birds break down organic matter, this a nutrients back into the soil that keeps everything healthy here and the bulgarian grasslands. the decline of the vulture has meant that diseases can spread faster. and a gravel in itself has become weaker. as soil degrades, grass is effected and this effect knocks on to other living and non living competence in the biosphere. and this is the big problem, globally,

weak grasslands and broken cycle impact the climate. along with forest crop plans and wetlands, grassland, from the you absorbed $263000000.00 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year. that's what our for and a half times the total annual emissions of bulgaria in 2019. the eel is looking to restore moreland to raise that number 2 over 310000000 tons by 2030 globally. you any p has called for restoring land, the size of canada up over that period. so each release is important. so what do you hope will happen to the spot? i hope that will be usual. we'll just release it the $23.00 days around knowing the surroundings and then meet the other birds from the cliffs and start to leaf in the ferry. i step away so the bird can have it. space to fly free is the more men we've

been waiting for. a bit underwhelming, but she's off to ensure that survival, the team here have set up vulture restaurants around the country for the now free vall just to visit when they need to. as well as for those deloney view, a michelle on start menu for them, and 0 stars from me, krista and i picked up a cow and a sheep that died of natural causes at to near by farms and the restaurants are temporary solutions. the team hopes that farmers will set up their own feeding flights. partner projects, also introducing red, kia into mountains hope so values will have enough to eat without human intervention. someday we don't know what to happen in swanton with years. 200 years. one weighs total destruction, capitalism,

global warming, and the other ways we change and we start to live with nature. and if they disappeared now, there is no but unity for the future generation to, to hear for major they will have not in. there are now over 300 vultures in bulgaria. and last year, the 1st to wild vulture chick was born in 50 years in these mountains. but equally dozens have ended up being poisoned or died from starvation exhausted from flying around, searching for food. summer upon those cliffs, new birds are slowly settling into their new home. an older ones are probably meeting offspring, or it could all be going completely wrong. free wilding doesn't guarantee the survival of the species or the systems, but it is a chance, a chance for an entire landscapes and help the climate steered with lillian. now in many fields, we're discovering the old traditions. this can address modern challenges. the we

does our infant scriptures and described the best practices for him, the way of life among it's applied knowledge. literature is this puppet. the amine, which demonstrates of willis dick approached the building and construction. one entrepreneur has developed a product called with the plaster, using some of these principles of water, checked out its feasibility. in the morning and early and in his family home, bol crishna is inspecting progress on an extension to the building. the cement is widely used for both indoor and outdoor, plastering, and india. bol krishna update for an eco friendly alternative. a model based product made from organic material. it creates a breathable so face that absorbs heat and humidity naturally and releases both evenly. the result is a stable in door temperature. a relief in hot climate. they're going to metal yay!

problem her softly or the congress structure made it concrete absorbs, can meet during the day and releases it after sunset, sunset give others could release. kobe. cool though. it heats up the in tina pill, clearing the need for air conditioning up or what the scalar cool can make an important local. but with this plaster you don't need additional cooling. good actually has a cooling effect on the board extra bit bought at chicago. the blast was manufactured, 480 kilometers from denny on the outskirts of beacon chemist. shift dash molig studied mot. houses around the world to devise a whole pallet of alternative building materials. incubator care were came up and i got kinda florida once while i was sleeping inside my house, there was your power kind and i woke up in his wit, but seen him then i remembered my ancestral holly, i never got miss hog during summer, doug, i gotta will go to macon that ethan, i got, i'm gonna neither was it. the school during linda's,

who so i started thinking about like modern houses and warming out miss and what is missing from them or in court exhibits? i guess his essay that what was missing, he found what natural materials like soil go dumb clay gibson, cluster beans, and limestone, drawing on an inch, an indian holistic approach to building malik launched his company, vedic bluster in 2018. it doesn't just produce bluster but bricks and paint made from natural materials, as with smart veil for living. wait, our ancestors had every a smart way of leaving school today. we should be relying on modern technology, but we also have to look at the v. i would insist as use go coexist with nature like him, i'll give it to produce to plaster base. kelsey knitter gibson is collected from nearby field. it is then mixed with cow dung,

soil and good gum to improve the texture and workability. finally, citric acid is added to prevent mold and fungus for the companies. eco friendly, brick soil is collected from surrounding areas and cow dung is procured from local funds. ah, the materials office weight and then mixed. the mixture is put into a machine with water and line. once ready, it is set aside to rest for 24 hours. on the next day, the mixture is molded into bricks and left a dry out in the sun for a week. this drying process eliminates the meat to burn bricks in a foot, and that helps good god in the missions. so do, does the fact that these bricks can be produced locally, anywhere in the country. on the way out there, bernardo, what i live in begun is to see if someone wants these bricks in gen night instead of transporting them from here. that is, i wonder and raw material dear rich can be used to manufacture debris exhibit. so

you'll save up one car, one nameesha anyway, bill score one on us. we're one of the companies regularly should use workshops and how to produce these bricks. manufacturing locally also helps cut down costs. that is key to promoting sustainable construction in india, which next year is projected to surpassed china as the world's most populated country. explosive growth has put immense pressure on the existing urban infrastructure for us as an agricultural land have given way to street parking lot and buildings. all built from concrete studies show cities like delhi have witnessed, attempted to rise of due to 3 degrees celsius in the last 15 years. expert fe concrete is largely to blame because it absorbs he during the day and releases at night a phenomenon known as the up on heat island effect. mon juma one is

a professor at the india answered use of technology center for atmospheric sciences in delhi. she used the satellite data to study the difference in temperature between urban areas and, and outskirts. so on one heat island effect for tropical and sub tropical cities is important because we can do a lot of cooling analogy. so higher than play chess, it really contribute a lot in energy consumption, the climate change an increasing temperature is concerned across the void and the increasing temperature is more sleet. now, it is very well recognised, is also main cause you do these administration processes this year, parts of india expedients, not just one, but the cds of cbs heat lives. average maximum temperatures for maybe the highest 122 years in cities. concrete only intensified the sense of unbearable

sweltering heat calls are going for a fundamental rating of how india builds cities and traditional materials like mud miss bluster on a step in the right direction. a 25 kilogram bag of vedic cluster covered up to 2 square meters and costs about 5 years. not dissimilar. the price of $7.00 plus a but didn't say it pays to use money based materials. you. this is yvonne time cost and we lost the lifetime which got the cost of using video. gloucester is similar to conventional bids on material, but it won't cost you more than the samantha and deity who's actually they will cost or even less eco my. the global climate is changing and the world is facing more frequent heat waves than in the previous decade. the excessive use of concrete is only versioning the crisis. while the existing of in the structures will continue to aggravate the heat, using technology to improve traditional construction practices and help mitigate

the problem. changing ones we'll fly can be hot. but when even a small change can benefit the help of our planet and ensure that our future generations continue to enjoy it, like we know it's worth it. think about that and i'll see you again next week, goodbye. and thanks for watching with ah, with ah,
