information on our website to be found at d. w dot com. ah, ah ah, ah, old habits die hard, but the was most impressing problems from global heating to pollution and biodiversity of all demands that we change. always. we have fascinating examples lined up for you to make that illustrate the impact adjustments can hello welcome to eco india. i'm some of that i 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 un dumb at home. but many idols in india,

a made of non biodegradable for materials and end up polluting the water body there it must be leaks on the sea. some activists engineers and officials have been working to make the 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 celebration 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 the thief. is there any anything which they want was from god? again, above this is with them. in one by alone,

some 200000 ideas about every yolk, most of them small scale for goes for use and family homes. traditionally, these have been made from non biodegradable blast of batteries or b o b. and decorated with synthetic paints 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 returned the nature. no matter whether it's a diverse lake odyssey the environmental impact is severe. as clean up activist chino collector has seen on one by his beaches. last year we saw all our biggest disaster were thousands of fresh dead fish fishes read out because of consuming b will be more didn't. i know. that's how that's how the chemical effects the ah, modern species blast sort of virus idols are still widely available despite at wendy, wendy government ban whole,

it's faced pushback from hundreds of thousands of artisans and windows who see it tightens their livelihood. but there are families opting for various eco friendly versions of families like the auroras here over there with the idols. day bring home is made from natural clean. it's known as a tree kanisha because seeds are mixed into the cliff. when it's time boomers, the idle, the family places it in a bucket of water where it eventually dissolves and go foretell sludge to grow saplings. other families in the auroras complex have switched to tree ganesh, as to a boon for their shared garden. we are going and because of 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 blanket from the, our league anesha. we 3 abilene regularly from so any us, no, really history is in our society. up landing this,

we only theodora and their neighbors, and the only ones concerned about the festivals environmental impact. i made increasing cause for idlers to be recycled. authorities have also launched a pilot program to salvage clay figures clearly than put the r r a governors kick m . as a result of our awareness campaigns were receiving many clay idols this year, leg and put their numbers is have increased at a local local deal natural from males. wildly for michelle hill, nick after it disintegrates on its own delay, we removed the clay dryer tiger nearby, and recycle it with local cooper, artisan sal komodo 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 neatly into new idols for other hindu celebrations. the upcoming nebraska the festival. for example, when idols will again be in high demand a bite 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 bonds across the city like this one at the entrance to a beach in june, that usually draws large crowds for emotion ceremonies of said the ideas catching on. and about a 3rd of the items such as this year ended up in tanks like these. unfortunately for marine wildlife, the rest washed up on mondays shores, where activists, again worked to kia the deputy. but they did not an improvement thanks in large bar to arise and awareness. the use of the nation is definitely are understanding the meaning of festivals. i'm making it and are very eco friendly . not all really divided by lead, easy, easy, all, all kind of festivals where that 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 for begin to festival celebrated every year in monday and across india. tango green well with donation to v as a removal 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. billing for the blues 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, gaining up after yet. another storm, a number of cheese have been down for farmers and the john are from whatever the 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 katie, mary. though abra, it is very upsetting to see the loss of life admiral always depends on his crops and losses like deeds did yearly cost immediately on my lapel, organize or 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, disease you side as the only way out in 2020 alone, 5000 pharma took their own line. 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 off . ready don't bottle, making a claim when

a lot of gum 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 and india is in short. the government is now aiming to expand that to at least half the land so that more farmers safeguarded from financial losses. one private company could possibly be of help you guys provide better for more than 7000 better stations spread across in the records. whether assisted by satellite imagery. this is very useful information for insurance companies. we are having datasets, insurance companies basically comes to the say that during that particular video,

supposed to be in that particular month. so put in the month of may or june, there was a edwards weather condition and we need to set some insurance claims in particular radio reform. so they comes to us and we basically lose the units to them. 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, their 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 draws mangoes. 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 mangle harvest was bite out due to prolong drought quoted by heavy rain . ready thankfully, he wasn't shot ah, the customer come down on it. i think it was impossible to calculate and front office i could have own from the sale of the mangos. but jordan, jordan, say god heard you, 25000 of these reach at least covered all my cost. fucking got a big ramaya minette. 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 app. a growing number of farmers are using the app for their walk in the field. the forecast give them a tool to make plans. i. ready if i to this comment that we get to know about whether the yeah,

we know if it's going to rain or not, and if he's on, so we know if i should, to spray the fertilizer that day or so, the crux want to get over there. ah, climate change has massively increased the risks faced by farmers, but smart ideas like better and express insurance solutions, we can at least limit their losses and safeguard their likelihood for the future. another knock on effect of climate change is a dramatic loss of species around the world. if what's our underwear 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 launcher, has a pretty bad reputation, move forever. chillen, who has 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 of the good guys around the world groups are bringing vultures back as well as other wildlife from linquist to beaver's even eurasian 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 board 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 this path. crystal pish of who's doing a ph. d on his infamous birds. so how many birds are like actually in this area know before the birds, of course, as if his indifference or introduction areas between different colonies. you can look never say, but maybe around 100. 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 when they come from this her native spanish birth because they need to adapt. they need to meet the other birds guerria. they need to know the area, so they are watching they, they are bring here and now they start to think of this place like their and their home, the vulture, from the balkan ecosystem. go together like bread and butter. the extensive grasslands,

wildlife shepherds and vultures involved together here over thousands of years, supporting each other. every dime a wild animal of sheep are called died. the vultures stepped in the industrialization of sheet farming. meant that the once pope and 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. 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 to 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, lisa,

nutrients back into the soil that keeps everything healthy. here in the bulgarian grasslands, the decline of the vulture has meant that diseases can spread faster, and the grass line 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 forests, crop plans, and wetlands grass land from the you absorbed 263000000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year. that's about 4 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 2020. 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 this bird? i hope that will be usual. we'll just release it the to 3 days around knowing the surroundings and then meet the other birds from the cliffs and start to leaf in the serial. i step away so the bird can have its space to fly. free is the moment we've been waiting for a bit underwhelming, but she's off to ensure the survival, the team here have set up vulture restaurants around the country for the now free vultures to visit when they need to. as well as for those still in a view, a michelle on star menu for them and 0 stars from me. crystal, when i picked up a cow and a sheep that died of natural causes at to near by farms and the

restaurants are a temporary solution. the team hopes that farmers will set up their own feeding 5 partner projects, also introducing red tear into mountains. hope so well, you will have enough to eat without human intervention some day. we don't know what to happen in 100 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 care for major. they will have not in. there are now over $300.00 vall, children, 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. and 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 to transform entire landscapes and help the climate state wizelia. now in many fields, we are discovering that all traditions this can address modern challenges. the we does our engine scriptures and describe the best practices for him, the way of life. among it's applied knowledge literature is this property of either which demonstrates of willis stick approach to building and construction. one entrepreneur has developed a product already bluster, 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 opted for an eco friendly alternative. a model based product made from organic material. it create a breathable so face that absorbs heat and humidity naturally and releases both evenly. the result is a stable and or temperature a relief in hot climate. they're going to metal have rolon her softly, or the concrete structure met. a concrete absorbs heat during the day and releases it after sunset, sunset. give us a release. go paid, cool. though it heats up the in tina pill, clearing the need for air conditioning up or what the skinnier cool can make an important lover. but with this plaster you don't need it. conditioning cooling good actually has a cooling fact a bought extend bit, the bought a chuck up gregor. the bloss was manufactured 480 kilometers from danny on the outskirts of beacon chemist. shift urgent molig,

a studied mot. houses around the world to devise a whole pallet of alternative building materials. escobar care were give me up and i got kinda florida once while i was leaving inside my house there, roger bower kind and i woke up in a sweat but seen him. then i remembered my ancestral holly, i never got miss hog during summer. doug, i gotta walk or megan did it, and i got up now neither was it to go during winter's will. so i started thinking about why modern, how's his side warming up miss and what is missing from them or in court? he said, but i, i guess his ethic that what was missing, he found what natural materials like soil, gout, dumb clay, gypsy, cluster beans, and limestone, drawing on an inch, an indian holistic approach to building mulligan, 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 leaving we, our ancestors had

a video smart way of leaving school today. we should be relying on modern technology, but we also have to look at the v. our ancestors used go coexist with nature when they came in. i'll give it to produce to plaster base. kelsey knitted chips and is collected from nearby fields. it is then mixed with garden soil and good gum du grooves, the texture and walkability. finally, citric acid is added to prevent mold and fungus for the company's eco friendly. brick soil is collected from surrounding areas and cow dung is pro killed 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 bun, bricks in a foot, and that helps cut gob and emissions. so do, does the fact that these bricks can be produced locally, anywhere in the country. on the way out there, bernardo, what i louis begun to see someone wants these bricks in janai instead of transporting them from here. that is there and, and drama. danielle dia, which can be used to manufacture debris exhibit. so you'll save up on a dime one amazon that really feels going on as well. but the company regularly should use workshops and how to produce is briggs. manufacturing locally also helps cut down costs. and that is key to promoting sustainable construction in india, which next year is projected to surpass china as the world's most populated country . explosive growth has put immense pressure on the existing urban infrastructure for this is 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 it at night. a phenomenon known as the utmost heat. ireland affect mum juma. one is a professor at the india answered use of technology center for at most forensic sciences in delhi. she used the satellite data to study the difference in temperature between our bananas 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 energy. so higher temperatures are really contribute a lot in energy consumption, the climate change and increasing temperature is concerned across the board. 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 experience not just one, but the cds of cb and 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. a traditional materials like mud miss bluster on a step in the right direction. a $25.00 program bag of verdict cluster covered up to 2 square meters and costs about 5 years. that is similar to price of $7.00 plus a, but builders say it pays to use money based materials you. this is a one time cost and we lost the lifetime, which the cost of using video. gloucester is similar to conventional be done with

it, but it won't cost you more than the semester and deity who's actually there. because even last week, my the global climate is changing and the world expressing more frequent heat waves done in the previous decade. excessive use of concrete is only versioning the crisis. while the existing urban, the structures will continue to aggravate the heat using technology to improve traditionally construction practices and help mitigate the problem. changing ones we'll fly can be hard. 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. good bye. and thanks for watching with
