ah, sometimes a seed is all you need to allow the big ideas to grow. we're bringing environmental conservation to life with learning packs like global ideas. we will show you how climate change and environmental conservation is taking shape around the world and how we can all make a difference. knowledge grows through sharing, download it now for free with old habits, die hard, but the was most impressing problems from global heating to pollution and biodiversity of all demand 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. 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 to not 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 meet leaks 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 received avenue. anything they want bought from god, then that double pub, this is it of them. in one by alone, some 200000 idols 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 carlotta has seen on moon by his beeches. stevie saw all our biggest disaster were thousands of fresh darren fish fishes read out because of consuming fuel 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 ban. all its face pushed back from hundreds of thousands of artisans and vendors who see it tightens their livelihood. but there are families opting for various eco friendly versions of families like the auroras. yeah, you know, a day it was the idols day bring home is made from natural clean it's known as a tree kanisha because seeds are mixed in to the tea. when it's dime boomers,

the idol, the family places it in a bucket of water where it eventually dissolves and grow 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 there's 3 that have been blanket from the league anesha. we 3 abilene regularly from so many 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 idols to be recycled. authorities have also launched a pilot program to salvage clay figures clearly than put the r r a governors kick in. as a result of our awareness campaigns, we are receiving many clay idols this year, leg and put their numbers is have increased the local local deer natural from males

. wildly for michelle hill, nick after it disintegrates on its own delay, we removed the clay dryer, dry gum nearby, and recycle it with local cooper, artisan, sal kumato, idea how money available it. the clay is brought here to workshops, run by artisans who 1st separate the valuable cli from left over plastics. once brought to the right consistency scott dust at fashioning that lay into new idles for other hindu celebrations, the upcoming of rat, 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 andrew, that usually draws large crowds for emotion ceremonies. officials said the ideas catching on. and about a 3rd of the idols butch's this year, ended up in tanks like these. unfortunately for marine wildlife,

the rest washed up on mondays shores, where activists, again worked to clear the deputy. but they did not an improvement thanks in large spot to arise and awareness the youth of the nation is definitely understanding the meaning of festivals. i'm making it in our very eco friendly way. not always. we divided the while easy, easy, all, all kind of festivals, where there is a center dice. oh, in the society where they're spreading the message. 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. remember, an across india can go green well, with donation to viodias of removal of obstacles. he may be the deity invoked by many indian farmers battling climate change. increasingly irregular weather conditions had led to unprecedented crop losses dealing for the last 2,

a sector where poverty is widespread. a private forecasting agency is trying to help by providing farmers with accurate, customized when the predictions ah, gaining 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 or b, that's around 37 euros, or one 5th of his entire monthly income. ah, but that is over kate mother. though arbor, it is very upsetting to see the loss affordable always depends on his crops and losses. like these did yearly cost maturity on my lapel, organize dog either or got up and got to go. last year, 5000000 hectares are farmland and endeavor, devastated by storms. climate change is making these extreme better events more

extreme and harder to predict. every year, thousands of small scale farmers are driven to has been unable to feed the families dcc site as the only way out in 2020 alone $5000.00 farmers took their own line. ready the indian government has introduced an insurance system to try to push and followed losses. the only problem is because many farmers have had bad experiences with insurance companies in the past. they often don't bother making a claim when it comes to claim that insurance, and that is not in command power to conduct salaries or if there is a timeframe to conduct the survey, there are not enough people to learn the little so insurance isn't popular among farmers only around the wanted of the farmland 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. sky met, 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 data sets, insurance companies basically comes to when they say that during that particular period supposed that day to day in that particular month in the month of may or june, there was an adverse weather condition and we need to settle some insurance claims . and particularly the over form. so they comes to us and we basically lose the units to them. in some deep town, home village of around 80 farmers have joined a new insurance agents document the size of each farm and the nature of its produce

in the event of damages, the data is passed to scam it which follows it with the went where the data to the insurance ah, sunday brianna is also in the scheme for 3 years now. has feels have been and shot . he mainly draws mangoes. the insurance cost him $7500.00 rupees for 6 months. that's around $94.00 euros, but it's only 5 percent of the rio cost. the state base the rest last year almost as entire mangle harvest was bite out. do do prolonged drought quoted by heavy rains. ready thankfully, he was in short the causeway to come down on it, that it was impossible to calculate and front office i could have own from the sale of the mangos, but should ensure to say god 323-5000 of these reach at least covered all my cost is got a big old warrior 1000000 new,

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 its app. a growing number of farmers are using the app for their walk in the fields. the forecast give them a tool to make plans. ready raised by this guy to this climate our that we get to know about whether it up to. 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 crops want to get over. ah, climate change has massively in please the risks faced by farmers. but smart ideas, like better apps and express insurance solutions, they can at least limit their losses and safeguard their likelihood for the future . another knock on effect of climate change is on dramatic loss of

species around the world. if what's out the way 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 demon bulgaria, dealing with the creepiest species of them all. while chose, the vulture has a pretty bad reputation for ever chillen. this is like a villain. bearing money, 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 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 very chance keyboard 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 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? because the birds move cross of the between difference or introduction areas between different colonies, you cannot 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, where they come from. it is her name is funny, birds because they need to adapt. they need to meet the other boats in the area. they need to know the area. so they are watching play. they are bring here and now they start to think of this place like their and their home. the vultures on the balcony 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 time a wild animal, a sheep or cow dyed, the vultures stepped in the industrialization of sheep farming meant that the ones 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 in the 1900s 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, lisa, 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 the grass line itself has become weaker as soil the grids, 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. landon wetlands grassland, from the you absorbed $263000000.00 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 to over 310000000 tons by 2020. globally. you any p has called for restoring land. the size of canada over that period. so each release is important. so what you hope will happen to the spot. i hope that will be usual. we'll just release that the to 3 days around knowing the surroundings and then meet the other birds from the cliffs and start to live in this area. 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 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 a temporary solution. the team hopes that farmers will set up their own feeding flights partner projects. i also introducing red kia into mountains hope so well, you will have enough to eat without human intervention some day. we don't know what to happen in this 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 or even 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 the chance to transform entire landscapes and help the climate to stay with zillion. now, in many fields, we are discovering the old traditions can address more than challenges. the way

does our engine scripture and describe the best practices for him, the way of life. among this applied knowledge literature is this topic, which demonstrates list speak approach to building and construction. one on the printer has developed a product called read the laughter, using some of these principles of water, checked out the feasibility. it's 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 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 climates. they're going to metal yay!

problem heard of the of the congress structure mit it concrete, absorbs heat during the day and releases it after sunset, sunset k bottles could release gl played 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 lovelyn, but with this plaster you don't need it. conditioning cooling good actually has a cooling effect of both extreme bear. the bought a chuck up gallagher. the blast was manufactured 480 kilometers from denny on the outskirts of beacon chemist. shift dirty, molig studied mot, houses around the world to devise a whole pallet of alternative building materials. incubator care were he met up nigger kinder for other ones while i was sleeping inside my house and dared want your power kind and i woke up in his wit, but seen him then i remembered my ancestral holly. i never got at least harker during summer at the log of her will get to me again. the reason i got up now neither was it to cool during winter's whole. so i started thinking about why in

modern houses and warming up myths and what is missing from there, or in court, you say, but i again, he doesn't care what was missing. he found what natural materials like soil cow, dumb clay gypsy cluster beans and limestone, drawing on an inch, an indian holistic approach to build molig, launch his company that it bluster he do, doesn't a deep. 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 plus to base. kelsey knitted, gibson is collected from near by feet. it is then mixed with cow dung, thought and good

a gum to improve the texture and workability. finding the citric acid is added to prevent mold and funks for the companies. eco friendly, brick soil is collected from surrounding areas and cow dung is procured from local funds. ah, the materials are 1st weight and then mixed. the mixer 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 moulded into bricks and left a dry out in the sun for a week. this drying process eliminates the need 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 mano may on their bernardo. what i live in begun is to see some one wants these bricks in gen night, but instead of transporting them from here, that is their london drama. danielle dia, which can be used to manufacture debris exhibit. so you'll save up longer when we

saw that really bills going on, as we're aware of it. the company 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 supp, asked china as the way is most populated country ah, 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 witness to attempted to rise of 2 to 3 degrees celsius in the last 15 years. experts say concrete, it's largely to blame because it absorbs he during the day and releases at night a phenomenon known as the up on heat island effect. monday, move on is a professor at the institute of technology center for atmospheric sciences in delhi

. she used to set the light, did to study the difference in temperature between our bananas and outskirts so on when he died. linda ford for tropical and sub tropical cities is important because a, we can do a lot of cooling analogy. so higher temperatures are really contribute a lot in energy consumption, the climate change and increasing temperature is concerned across the void and the increasing temperature is more sleet. now, it is very well recognised, is also main caused you to these additional processes this year, parts of india experience 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 based bluster on a step in the right direction. a $25.00 program bag of vedic 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 is to use monies, martinez, you. this is a one time cost and we lost the lifetime which got lost of using medic. gloucester is similar to conventional be done with, it won't cost you more than the semester, but i can deal with you is actually they will cost or even less ico my the global climate is changing and the world is facing more frequent heat waves done in the previous decade, excessive use of concrete as only versioning the crisis. while the existing urban structures will continue to aggravate the heat, using technology to improve traditional construction practices and help mitigate the problem. changing one's way of life 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 do, it's worth it. think about that and i'll see you again next week. good bye. and thanks for watching. with ah, with
