now i don't read in a religious tradition and mom by next on d, w a thought they were great, it will be a old habits die hard, but the was more compressing problems from global heating to pollution and biodiversity all demand that we change our ways. we have fascinating examples lined

up for you to make that illustrate the impact adjustments can be 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 mildly readable for materials and end up polluting the water body there it must be leaks on the sea. some activists ingles and officials have been working to make this celebration more sustainable. ah, astounding of drums to honor the god ganesha,

the festival of guinea, chateau de marx's 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 the thief. is there any anything we can want was from god? again above this is with them. in one by alone, some 200000 ideas about every yoke. most of them small skin 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 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 returned the nature no matter whether it's

a diverse lake or the see, the environmental impact is severe. as clean up activist chino collector has seen on mon buys beaches last year we saw all our biggest disaster where thousands of fresh dared fresh fishes went out because of fun zooming. b will be more didn't. i know. that's how, oh, that's how the chemical effects the ah modern speeches blasted off various idols are still widely available despite at wendy wendy government bank. all 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 either there was the idols. day bring home is made from natural t lee. it's known as a tree kanisha because seeds are mixed in the clear. 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 switch to tree ganesh, as to a boon for their shared garden. we are going and because of this will be a blank thing. 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 are the gunny, sorry, 3 abilene regularly from say when me, us, the radius 3 is in our society. up landing this, we are on the rollers and their neighbors, and the only ones concerned about the festivals environmental impact. i made increasing cause for idle to be recycled. authorities have also launched a pilot program to salvage clay figures. glucagon put the r r a ppo network and 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. nachos re mails only for michelle horner after it disintegrates

on its own delay. we removed the clay dryer to dry gun nearby and recycle it with local cooper. artisans, welcome myrtle. all day. 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 scott dust at fashioning that lay into new idles for other hindu celebrations. the upcoming nebraska the festival, for example, when idle 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 bonds across the city like this one at the entrance to a beach in june 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 part to raising 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 divide leave. i leave 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 hindu festival celebrated every year in mumbo and across india. tango green well with donation revealed as 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. billing 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 donna from what about asian? each tree means a loss of 3000 for b. that's around $37.00 euros, or one 5th of his entire monthly income. ah, but that is over kate america. though arbor, it is very upsetting to see the loss of farmers always depends on his crops and losses. like these did yearly cost of maturity on my lapel organized, i've got up and got her 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 farmers took their own life. ready ready 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 a lot of gum to claim that insurance, and that is not manpower, conduct, raise any. 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 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 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 did to that in that particular month, in the month of may or june, there was a, it was where the condition and we need to settle some insurance claims and particularly the over farm. so they comes to us and we basically lose the unit 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 read went weather data to the insurance ah, sunday brianna is also in the scheme for 3 years now. has feels have been and shot . he mainly grows mangles. the insurance cost him $7500.00 rupees for 6 months. that's around $94.00 euros, but it's only 5 percent of the real cost. the state pays the rest. last year almost as entire mangle harvest was bite out due to prolonged drought quoted by heavy rains. ready thankfully, he was in charge of course, i mean to come down on it. it was impossible to calculate and from what office i could have grown from the sale of the mangos, but to the insurance, i got her 225000 of these reach at least covered all my cost is got a big amaya 1000000 news. 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 gray sky is going to this climate added that we get to know about whether it up to year. 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 there. ah, climate change has massively increased the risks faced by farmers. but smart ideas, like by the abs 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 theme 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 of the good guys around the world groups are bringing vultures back as well as other wildlife from linquist to beaver's even your asian 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 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. christopher chef was doing a ph. d on his infamous birds. so how many boards are like, actually in this area? know? because 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 this her native spanish births, because they need to adapt. they need to meet the other burton 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 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 dime a wild animal of 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 supplied. 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, the voters. they're like, the local recycling department is very important. they exist to clear up rod, which stops the 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 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 where plans, grassland, from the u 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 more land to raise that number to over 310000000 tons by 2030. globally. you any p has called for restoring land. the size of canada 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 $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 its space to fly. free is the moment we've been waiting for a

bit underwhelming, but she's all 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 stella navy, 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 are 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. somewhere 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 are 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, approached the building and construction. one entrepreneur has developed a product called with the plaster, using some of these principles of water, checked out it's feasibility. in the morning and early and in his family home, bol kristen 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, yay! problem her softly or the congress structure mit. a concrete action absorbs heat

during the day and releases it after sunset, sunset. give us a release called 8. cool though it heats up the in tina pill, clearing the need for air conditioning up, or what the skinny cool can make an important lover. but with this plaster you don't need it. conditioning cooling good. actually has a cooling effect. a bought extend bit the bought a chuckle 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. incubator care were give me up and i got kinda 4 other ones. while i was leaving inside my house, dead, 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 go gotta make in that ethan. i gotta neither was it the school during linda's, who so i started thinking about like modern houses and warming of miss and what is

missing from them or in court exhibits? i guess his ethic that what was missing, he found what natural materials like sewing gout, dumb clay, gibson, cluster beans, and limestone, drawing on an inch, an indian holistic approach to building molig, 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 video smart way of leaving school today. we should be relying on modern technology, but we also have to look at the visa. our ancestors use, go coexist with nature. when you come in, i'll get back to produce to plaster base. kelsey knitter gibson is collected from nearby field. it is then mixed with cow dung, soil, and good gum, du groove, the texture and walkability. finally,

citric acid is added to prevent mold and fungus for the company's eco friendly, brick 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 drive in the sun for a week. this drying process eliminates the meat to bun, bricks in a foot, and that helps cut goblin the missions. so do, does the fact that these bricks can be produced locally, anywhere in the country. on the way up there, bernardo or i lou in begun 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 me score one on us will government, ah, 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 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 witness to temperature 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 oven heat. ireland affect monday to move on is a professor at the institute of technology center for atmosphere excites as in delhi. she used the satellite data to study the difference in temperature between our bananas and outskirts so on when he died. linda ford fought tropical and sub

tropical cities is important because a, 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 boat. and the increasing temperature is more sleet. now, it is very well recognised, is also mean caused you to these additional processes this year, parts of india expedients, not just one, but the cds of civil heat lives. average maximum temperatures for maybe the highest 122 years in cities. concrete only intensified the sense of unbearable sweltering heat. goals are going for a funder to re think of how in the big cities and provisional materials like mud miss bluster on a step in the right direction. a $25.00 program bag of medic,

bluffton covered up to 2 square meters and costs about 5 years. that is similar to price of $7.00 plus a, but bill to say it pays to use monthly is martina you. this is a one time cost and we lost the lifetime, which got lost of using medic gloster, is similar to conventional bids on material, but it won't cost you more than the semester. and deity has actually they will cost or even less eco, my the global climate is changing and the world is facing more frequent heat waves done in the previous decade. excessive use of concrete has only versioning the crisis. while the existing urban, the structures will continue to aggravate the heat using technology to improve traditional construction practices, can help me to get the problem. changing one's way of life can be hard. but when even a small change can benefit the health 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 ah,
