oh, how many pushes so now the way right now, the climate change, very hot, the story. this is my flex, the way from just one week. how much was can really get we still have time to are go. i'm going all with what for? his subscriber all morning with the scale of change needed to tackle global environmental issues can feel overwhelming . but by coming together,

local communities are finding effective ways to deal with the threats on their doorstep. to me, we explore collaborative projects that prove sharing is carrying. hello, welcome to eco india. i'm subtle that we start in southern quimby thought a city that like many others in india, is what it about water. scientists say the regions, rivers are vanishing, while droughts increase and water tables drop. we met one man who decided to take action and save local water bodies and then found surprising strength in numbers. ah. when a local n g o put out a call for help to clean up trash along a water tank and done and i knew it didn't expect 350 people to show up. here's what it looked like before the clean up and after and it happened in less

than 2 hours in that our we have had $25.00 to $30.00 doggone ladies who have worked with us. got it not be blocking to make a positive contribution to society. i'm looking for you, the hard part is organizing it. money going down is the founder of the indio curriculum, the by the gobbler method. it's volunteers have been distorting what a body's across claim at all for the past 5 years. and this is how they do it. so a, she's in charge of getting all volunteers to arrive at the scene. a lot on that. and on the same day, dick, mom often wear gloves for the day and time in brooklyn. it's money, gardens job to divide them up into various groups. hello, hello, you are all there, wedding globulin, i was, i'm just waking up to distribute supplies. i sent him out hurting long ago, and gopi isn't out of documenting the process group at the very last minute come closer grinning longer. it all started in 2017. when quin metal was facing of

severe shout money, camden was determined to revive one of the city's driest water bodies better when he pulled down the call. it hadn't has even water for many years, rather than i decided to clean the panic by removing plastics and with an vis a visa. now, claire decline. we began cleaning activities on the 12th of february. 2017 maniac in the 1st week. 50 sure diamond bed, but in the weeks after 400 people showed a loss of in just a moment while we finished eating the tank or it apart the day. and we don't have a financial or political back. glad that we had volunteers who were ready to work for this. now what i was helping belinda anna mcclendon at been in the club. we decided 19 of various water bodies every sunday. so far we have been working for 249 consecutive sundays, either very care no day with dom, we're the arnold gordon, and i don't like from us. the organization has restored 4 large lakes, 9 small ponds and more. but if you ask money canden which project was hottest,

he'll insist on taking you there before he tells you the story behind it. ah, either a lacrosse spread across 90 acres, the velo tank is one of coin with those oldest. it's fed by the noir luge river for 15 years had remained dry because of 3 major problems that blown the there were lot sunny risk items here on the canal from water hadn't been logged on. you know, to like, other people hadn't crossed on 4 and a half of the 6 and a half long to long on it on either side of the river banks am garbage had been dumped into dot jack dunn's to which this dang receives the water to the lamp what these were the 3 problems metamora brittany, limited in 2017 money. camden and his team began cleaning the tank and it's checked dance. they also played a role in convincing 2 and a half 1000 families. settled along the river's banks to relocate to state housing . and then for the 1st time in 17 years,

the velo dank was full ah, village is 2 kilometers away once lactic, reliable water sauce. but just a few months after the reservation was completed, locals noticed an increase in ground water levels because of yellow tank could now retain the water it received back in the you only have armed if it drink refile, if it didn't know if he would inform you bought the board since there is water in the tank for the past 4 years. there's been water in our valve american. we use them wouldn't bumped out the water for farming raphael. i wonder what i asked to buy 200 to 200 liters of water every day. mamma, when it's much better now because i can't get water when i, when i, when he did at home on my savings, having greece as a result, loa and the one of the jungles able to hone in water again. it's not only people who have benefited from it and from the ground water regenerating itself,

this dank, has now also become a habitat for various species. that's because volunteers when beyond just cleaning the tank, they planted over 10000 cheese of native varieties using the milwaukee method, a japanese afforestation technique. this chip of forest protects the water in the tank. it's also attracted dozens of bird and butterflies species to develop dank, and the green zone surrounding it. at a northern expressed a joy i had when i saw the dang fill up with water in 2018, we used to water these plans. water water from laurie id shortly after that, we used buckets to cross with the water from the tongue. it put ne, long suddenly with amaral got die gamma nama to in the calico madonna said, you will need to want to find bought into yos, the n d o reaches out to schools and colleges, yet it's most powerful tool has been social media by sharing. it's what's up link

and post and clean updates. it's succeed in bringing many young people together who wish to be a part of the process or gopi is the perfect example. he joined when he was just a student to day he pitches in with his skills as a joan cinematographer then via any particular league. we do it for jason and so did before the cleaning, after the cleaning and after the water get the stuff that is stored on v then present it to companies looking to fund organizations. at the same time, we saw it to the government officials. this helps us get access to see as i'd opportunities and allows us to continue our rugs with government approval in other lucas under the one that they used to let. ah, instead of us approaching people about is the uh, becoming aware of it. oh, there is a young boy in peers with awesome. if you ask him, what do you want to be when you grow up? and he says, like you, i'll go up laundries and save lakes. now he's like,

what will you do for food? he replied, i'll go home and eat, we are see such positive changes amongst children or when it is organization driven . vern, defects are usually loom yet, but here in seek will get their hands dirty. the field, this is my home. i'll keep it clean. this water after the protection of water bodies requires more than restoration, increasing encroachment waste, dumping effluent discharge, and lack of proper maintenance by civic bodies or just some of the major problems. if you are near a relative letters to people who drive you well. but if somebody dirty the data here, nobody raises questions because unlike the villager, nobody drinks this war, you know, to put in the government to suspend the girls of rupees to revive licks eloquent, but had it made efforts to make ready water consumable new people would begin to get healthy, not academical monica, none has succeeded in uniting people who care about water. now he has his sight set

on restoring them no yellow river, which is the backbone of modern, reclaim little this river that passes to 4 districts and feeds $25.00 tanks is under threat going. but also the itself is on the bank of the normal river level. and the president drink from it in the still we dig water, bonnie: bonnie or ali or really alan than the number of days the water flows through this river is decreasing each day law and we want to increase it. and that's what we're now working. good. what else are then? i may say it again. i am waiting on you to would warranty organizations like money condoms. hope spread awareness about the urgent need to save local water bodies. da may not. who has over 200000 tanks and other irrigation sources, but less than 90000 of them are in use. it will take a collective effort from the government and citizens to save water for future generations. ah,

to the netherlands now, and a new town taking shape near amsterdam. cure it's the residence. we'll call the shots when it comes to planning and development rather than the municipal authorities. the goal is to foster innovative and sustainable lifestyle options. while encouraging local food production is it you topic? we visited auster wars to find out. thought us build the air at this building side around 30 kilometers from amsterdam. the crew is hard at work. we're now the wind sweeps across the meadow. there will soon be a school for 60 children. every screw, every fixture is being put in by the parents themselves. one of them is flora, small and big, whose 2 children will attend the school. we started only 3 weeks ago, and i, we all right, is that far? houses, streets, parks, playgrounds,

the residents are building and developing the 43 square kilometer area to selves. almera auster wald is an organically growing city and a unique experiment in the netherlands. well, the idea is to give people more freedom to create their own living space architect clos hoffman started the project over 10 years ago. it felt only freedom is also a responsibility. and usually in these kind of normal urban developments, the responsibility is mostly at to developers, side or municipality side can for organized top down and he knows to, well, this is completely put upside down. the plan is to have an unplanned city more. it's more one of the few rules is that oster walt has to be green and a lot of room less than a 3rd of the land can be developed. and every resident is expected to use half of their land for urban farming. to encourage biodiversity. we wanted to kind of

introduce the strategy to develop housing, being the green environment that would kind of preserve the qualities of the green environment while still allowing people to live inside of it over a 1000 residential units have already sprung up in the countryside east of amsterdam for florence mullin, bake and his family receiving the subsidy for the parcel of land with a dream come true. since the house was finished, they've spent a lot of time organizing community life building the school and working in the vegetable garden once a week. flora small and be goes into the fields and marks the plots with harvest. ready vegetables. we are a c, s a and a community. she product arca agriculture. and that means that i yeah, we are producing festivals for about 50 households. if the harvest is plentiful, everyone gets more and they also share the risk of a bad crop. once a week, community members can pick vegetables in the garden with

a message on their phone tells them how many and which one's neighbor alex hames care comes by regularly. this is just an comparable in terms of quality alike. it doesn't have any pesticides, so now they put a lot of love and attention and effort in it. i know them very well personally. so it makes this a big difference in experience, but also the quality of the food for me, poor community exchange original ideas. but there are also challenges in creating poster world. now, you could say it's a social experiment and that, and people are not always use that to have to work together. like usually it's government lay down like you can do this, you can do that. is this going to be like this and like that? and here people have to do it themselves. and sometimes it just takes a bit of a learning curve because people have to figure out how to do that. a few kilometers away in the community shop, maryan up spool and neighbor, my youngest son,

martin display the selection of homemade honey jams and cheese oh, produced in ost of odd joke, will go up spool is one of the original settlers. hundreds of different plants grow in his wild looking garden on the other side of the street. mostly the land is bare when you buy it, so if you can give her seat to the land and they're all kind of native plants and trees will start to grow. and it's very helpful for her biodiversity, of making a good ecosystem up spoon collects and rise the seeds of his plants and laid her hands them out among the ulster. valdez. the self taught forrester, he believes nature is the thing that links every resident regardless of their chosen lifestyle. most of all is expected to grow over the next few years. the plan is to create space 415000 houses and 40000 people. prices for the new plots have

multiplied up spool is worried that the inclusive idea that any one could be a part of the community is in danger. we feel it also us as a responsibility for us to realize that there will be a mixed community, which also people with low, low salaries and starting people with a young or children and they cannot afford her house and it, that's really a problem. the settlement is attracting attention, not least from property developers. some have built terrorist houses on the plots in the middle of auster walled, selling them at high prices, while ignoring the tradition of building your own home with an urban garden. the introduction of more regulations from the city has also stirred resentment among residents and yet demand to be part of the experiment is huge. today there are 10 times the number of applications,

then there are plots available. that doesn't surprise to parents on the school committee. in addition to a beautiful place to live, they found a real community where that's the beauty of old. busy that a lot of am equally mind at people and oh yeah. at the spirit to build things and and and, and yeah, builds, oh, so the community and it's a really strong and powerful community. so that this, oh so yeah, there's one of the things i really like and love about oh, so in 2 weeks lessons for the little ones are due to get underway until then there's a lot to do. but cooperation is 2nd nature to the people of auster. world well that type of nibbling spirit is at the heart of the sharing economy. a model where people rent or bought the things the need rather than buy and own them. that not only helps them save money, it also has a positive impact on the environment. the concept is sticking off in indian cities

. we had to look around and denny, to explore the lifestyle a little more looking for something, especially for a dress, she will only be reading once on her reading. but jew is not out shopping. she's visiting flu, a clothing rent. it is an outlet that gives you the option to rent clothes for a one off occasion. and for half the price of buying outfit ah, being conscious about what we buy, where we spend on money, and is it really worth it for that time period? when you know you're actually gonna be wearing it and then you don't need them after that, you're never going to wear it or anybody else's reading. so, you know, might as well let it be. oh, so click on image has the world's largest population of millenniums like doing it is a demographic gutters, increasingly drawn towards renting, rather than purchasing assets. young people in cities tend to be more social

financially and abundantly of it. and they are embracing the flexibility in affordability of the rent or shared economy model. given that more than 1000000 tons of textiles are thrown away, each ear environmentalist see it as a positive trend. now the one way to reduce that is to reduce consumption of materials. now, rental economy provides that opportunity. if the same product was the market is trying to sell to, everyone can be sold to many people and everyone can fulfill their need. then you know, then you're proportionately reduced environmental impact between 20162019. more than 100 online rental companies sprung up in india. traditionally, rental businesses ment, small units in unorganized markets. now swanky rental outlets provide a wide range of occasion via for rent through high street stores and on lineups.

alongside clothing rental furniture is the other segment, spearheading the shared economy in india. the domestic market for rented furniture is what around 800000000 euros. a she, she is booking a dining table for his home in google. his opted fort city furnished an online platform for furniture and branded appliances. the table is assembled at his home. this works well for us. she is a consultant and often has to relocate to a different city, practically everything in his current house, from furniture to appliances. rent right now, he's paying about a $160.00 euros a month. buying the same furniture would have cost up to $10000.00 euro while a, the hassle offer, owning furniture and service, renting it out there,

these days, furniture, i mean, you know, furniture models keep changing her. just the sure convenience of going on to you know, their wrap on the form. selecting a furniture, looking ain't having it delivered to saved a lot of time and effort. furniture rental in india has grown 5 times in the last 3 is according to need of jane, founder of city funds. he collected data on rental apartments. more than 80 percent of apartments in india are either semi furnished or unfurnished. if a new tenant is moving into a rental apartment is measured, it turns out that he will be moving into an unfurnished place. so all those r idle targets segment for our furniture rental. so that's how we arrive at this number there. they're 9 group people living in the metro rental department of which 80 percent are unfurnished. and that's an ideal market for a furniture. and when it comes to wooden and metal furniture,

it usually gets used for a longer period of time. but still around 3000000 tons of furniture waste ends up in india's landfills. every year, all the furniture markets like this one in dell, it can be found in most cities with the oldest refurbished and sold at a discount. but the challenge is to lies in meeting the demands for new furniture, sustaining there is illegal primary forest timber r, which is coming from across the world, including se, asia to india and china. in fact, i know would be the bigger legal market. now, refurbishing for little means that we are reducing that illegal logging. ah, that is happening. we are reducing the number of trees that we are cutting. ah, the are you saying, you know, the land requirement for growing bull street to protect the forests in india? the government introduced to forest stewardship is stunned,

or f s. s. in 2022 to confirm that forests are being managed, sustainable. together with growing current of renting instead of buying, it is an important step towards maintaining a more environmentally conscious consumer behavior. in india, the sharing economy already works like a well oiled machine in the german capital. borrowing things in berlin from a store or from neighbors has never been so easy. thanks to the digital platforms that connect owners with seekers of goods and services. i'd like to been rocca has clearly done this many times before he's putting together his bike trailer so that he can lend it to a neighbor for free. of course, that's nothing out of the ordinary for him. he regularly lends out his belongings. garden equipment of tools,

a child's mattress for sleep ends in lenses neighbors. these things so goes hence thinking they won't have to buy them. is it? i don't see this as being anti consumerist. it's about sustainability man. yeah. these things are usually so rarely. if you knew something along than buying something makes increasing sales and the 2 men gone to know each other via an online neighborhood platform. more than 1600000 users are connected to people living in their vicinity via name and on dot d e. people use it to lend and borrow stuff to swap information or to offer help. with the startup was set up in berlin in 2015. the portal is free of charge for users. the company funds itself by a donations and small ads placed by companies and the respective neighborhoods. young ghana offers high quality tools for one year. oh, $50.00 an hour. you can reserve them by an
