to train, you can choose to go back or somewhere else. currently, more people than ever on the move worldwide in search of a better life. so why do i want to go back to 9 g? like i don't have any reason to do this. no reason that's nothing for me. yeah. i believe something great is common and very, very soon. and yeah, conway or june more about la valley's story in for my gosh, reliable news from my grants, wherever they may be. ah, ah, human interventions have transformed the world, but many hom, the environment demanding a change in our res. we've proved it's possible after global action,

the odds was only of is now recovery on e going be are to be we look at other damaging habits and ways to kick them. hello, welcome. i'm son with that. now cutting the use of chemicals in products like has pre and refrigerators has helped you that leah, but who be all reduce our reliance on one of the greatest inventions in history. the electric light bulb, artificial light, floods the night sky, creating problems for people. lance and why life? we took a look in chennai where light pollution is having a big impact. ah ah, as darkness falls across india knight time is when the eastern city of janai is at its brightest. at barnum i thought, i remember only was a crisis like candy,

bizarre and wrangler. nathan street at night it feels like it's day time. it doesn't feel like it's night due to the use of bright artificial light lights, okay. the use of artificial lighting and chimney has gone far beyond what is needed to see and operate in the darkness. instead, it is become a source of light pollution pantheon money than i want to protect worry moreland only like what to lucia. curious when the artificial light created by mankind affects living being. he's pretty hard because they are being it other than my holy marcella. valet pollution of being a little silly areas, danella and then and i, we can witness light pollution and areas like tonight or court zip code. monopoly and co emberly in these areas will either have a greater population or more activity with the exponential growth of cities has made light levels of problem. there are 4 types of light, pollution, glare light, trespass clutter, and sky glue. if our linen ballet polish will use the portal scale to measure

light pollution held on the boca 9, is the highest level 6 die turn. i records a level from 6 to 8 to the light pollution renaissance as measured by miranda. it's only in the last 150 years, that earth has seen a light source beyond the natural light sources like the sun and the moon. but it's in the last decade that there's been a massive upsurge. light pollution, according to researchers studying its growth, usage of light is hitting unhealthy levels. they see i'm disrupting natural processes. yard. oh god hung on there. at that moment he sees a crow searching for its prey during the night. ha ha. similarly, nobody sees a bat searching for it, right during the day their vehicle would you like thought of where to go for these timings are totally dependent on the like to present in the environment the what if,

if this is known as circadian rhythm this cycle is affected by the light outside a light pollution is having a huge impact on plants and animals and can have unforeseen consequences and get him back up. what he all you would actually up in california, hunger the army number already, turtles. why their eggs? you now see? sure. and returned to the sea, but i got them available after a number of days. the turtles had shout and direct themselves towards the sea in the active way, but due to the bright light at the sea, sure. like the turtles get misled. they walked towards the road before you and they get killed. we call it up. when we see hundreds, i'd like to get in clear. i know they're going to play and then i'm a thought on. they bought the google it. i mean, it's the same with all our flights, so probably we're not able to see any fire flies in the urban areas if you're out for a unit. but the reproduction process of live flies is completely dependent on darkness availability. the influence of these artificial lights doesn't allow males to meet

females either, and so they cannot, might me, and that stops the reproduction process that a company entire species could become extinct. little high light levels are not only having an impact on biodiversity, it can cause health issues such as eyesight problems, headaches and feelings of stressed. and humans. studies also suggested light pollution can in fact lead to certain kinds of cancer and people if the rate of pollution advances at an alarming rate higher than i'm a good while you're tired of it. and i'm is an awareness of my air pollution and even the sound pollution among the people for the water. but there's no understanding of like when pollution among people helping get a bill. there's an opinion that the right light looks good, allow them a little. we don't realize that we're both troubling others and putting ourselves in danger. what operating it over to one of a regular light is not just useful in darkness. it also holds cultural significance

in cities like generally here using prominent lighting to celebrate festivals, events, and functions. is important, so i format in, i mean we can see many footlights being used on the route from marina to royal koran. are these lights are important? i don't deny, elena. there's a flurry of activity over and also for the safety of women and crime prevention is very important and but why do we need lights from so much? brightness swallow, can only relate that they are. these are common problems in many cities, regulations on commercial lighting, to tackle pollution exist in some countries, but more can be done. se environmentalists, indiana marianna to remote such regulations in india directly. so we need to set regulations and the monitoring system for it. we need to give awareness of like an allusion to the people. i see this as the 1st step to controlling the issue by taking action promptly could help human help and preserve the environment well

up not the pollution, the plague, the capital is notoriously in the air. deli is the worst in the country with stock since climbing to poisonous levels. winter after winter to tackle the problem, the city is banking on a shift electric mobility. we had a look around for to see how it's going. now than those mister, i was getting ready for his tech shift of the deed this morning. he deli would milk across tele, this afternoon. it's packages for a large delivery service. as always, he gets that by electric vehicle or for an electric vehicles, much better than patrol driven bacon. and my general rhetoric mistress went off around 1800 drivers employed by electric b logistics. so why does single the founder see the ad on a mission to electrify loss mind delivery services? that refers to those vehicles that delivered product from make bread and gadget to

pretty much everything that can be purchased online. right to the doorstep. lashmar live ecosystem was one of the significant contributors for this air pollution crisis. and all the majority that we know you don't do any kind of data is you know, carbon emissions. they have no carbon dioxide emissions at all. demand for foster delivery dimes is growing and businesses are rising to the challenge with many aiming to deliver products within 30 minutes to one hour window. india commerce market is expected to go to a value of 5 and a half $1000000.00 or $5100000000.00 euros by 2025. but the trend is taking its toll on the environment. the non profit research group standard recently conducted a survey on the last my emissions of the 6 largest global delivery company. it found that to the last mind delivery emissions in india equal estimated 500000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent to the and we'll see you do emissions of more than

100000 metro passenger vehicles. ah, 80 percent of transport emissions is actually emerson's emissions in our breathing soon. so which is eyes of been the st. john's for their mission. it could be, you know, commercial transport, personal, private, but more sleep is commission transport rate which, which is what is affecting us mostly for, for some fuel combustion. me quality, daily, the cost of any major city in the world. the cities government has introduced campaigns such as switch to tackle the problem. the state has now given companies in the cab pulled and e commerce, delivery sectors and deadline. they need to convert entirely to electric by april 2030 and we have had very, very positive results on the uptake of electric, regular decisions last year,

2020 to 10 percent of new decisions re elected. and in december we touched a point of 16 percent. and in fact, the biggest change is coming in the commercial vehicle segment for last my delivery of goods in 2020 to 60 percent of a because it is target electric. so it's a major shift that we are seeing in not just firms. ingal is considered a formidable plan in the green or just the sector. the company handles almost half of the daily based business of grocery giant, amazon fresh. i'm gowns, almost all major e commerce companies as partners. but it's not all plain ceiling. i think the broader challenges that everybody feels right now is the lack of infrastructure in the market. so when you talk about judging of marriage, when you talk about electrical connections, right? and dealing with this comes,

let us tell us nag daily plans to run out 30000 charging points in the coming years . currently just under 2500, i'd appreciate my interaction to bill. lot of tv lo drivers has been the the lack of charging access where they live drivers who have talked about difficulties in having charging points either installed in their homes or in basements or within the places they live. even if it is not a gated community. one company helping to build a workable energy infrastructure for ease is mobility. to solve the charging point problem, it offers up be as you go model, which allows drivers to swap battery that designated swap points around $250.00 points in the city. the vase in people, we did that,

the battery from the waco from the electric weaker. a discharge by 3 comes into the station. he puts it into the station and hopefully charged by 3 comes out. for the last 2 and a half months, minute off has been using some mobility slap point twice a be ad, got more metro station. daily earnings have gone up to about 1000 rupees. that's around 11 euros from when he used to died, who spectral the show while a wide or a lot of ways are no issues like the need to use the cables or wires. charging that i might be normally just come here to the point and use the talk and we'll be charging by then we have a josh battery already and i think they can charge to between 10 to 15000000. my god. that's the reason why they put in here, but there is still a long way to go. india as energy mix, which includes $75.00, which in fossil fuels means evie cannot be completely off, andy,

but there's still better for the environment than federal power breakers. and the daily authorities are optimistic, the ambitious electric league policy launched in 2020 to ensure that a quarter of all new registrations by 2024 our electric. and meanwhile, e v drive was like some tours, missouri, our leading the we, honda city, st. me, more than half the world's population relies on rice and the daily source of calories go to india. steeple can be on the menu up to 3 times a be the growing dr. may be good for our health. it's surprisingly bad for the planet. our reporter wanted to know is that a better way to produce it? ah, bryce is not light on the crop. it was domesticated on 3 separate continents and

has fed hungry civilizations across asia, africa, and south america for thousands of years. across the world where i found land a common technique, they found the grain grew better in wet soils and dry one. and when they floated fields, they found weeds dived, but rice survived. that's why even today farmers keep fields flooded for month at a time. and here's what makes rights one of the dirtiest crops we grow. when back here in the soil break down dead plants, they usually release carbon dioxide. but in a flooded field, where at con, get in, there's less oxygen to react with the carbon in the organic waste. that encourages the growth of bacteria that make a gas called methane instead. methane doesn't last as long in the air c o 2, but it heat the planet 80 times more over 20 a period. what's more, the nitrogen in the fertilizer means putty spew out nitrous oxide, which is $270.00 times more powerful than fear 2. if you look at emissions per

kilogram, a bowl of rice itself isn't worse than a pork sausage or a block of cheese. but the sheer amount we eat means fixing right could save a ton of pollution. the most obvious solution is to drain feels. so bacteria don't make me thing across east asia. farmers have drained the paddies in the middle of the growing season to save walter. and what has grown even scarcer, the trying a method of alternatively wetting and drying the puppies. so the rice still has enough water at its roots, but you're just reducing the amount of water that's sitting around and not reduces the amount of methane not being produced in the fields. this is mossey buranski, a scientist cleaning up rights in thailand. so in principle, it's a simple technology and doesn't require any special machinery. you literally

put a perforated tube or even a soda can into the ground which shows you the level of the water below the surface. and so you let the field drain naturally until it reaches that level, which is the bottom of the roots of the rice. and then that's when you flood the field. again. this simple trick is half methane emissions on some farm and it saves walter. that's going increasingly sca but if intimate and flooding is so great, why and farmers going all right, this way. the 1st reason is changing habits and policies in bangladesh. a recent study from the ultimate wetting and drying has failed to take off because promise don't have an economic incentive to save water. they pay for the area of land, they are good, not the amount of water they use. so they see little benefit from using that. the 2nd problem is nitrogen fields where the water content varies over the seas and produce more nitrous oxide than fields that carry the wet or dry. that's because

wetting and dry and create cracks in the soil that let in oxygen which reacts with nitrogen to form nitrous oxide. using less let lie, the can help avoid this, but trying to still trying to work out how to stop it entirely. but the problem is that you get less rise, said the soil gets to drive one review, found yields fell 5 percent in field that were repeatedly drained and flooded. it doesn't sound like a lot, but it can be life changing for farmers. a simple way to fix this, as by wetting and drying fields any sparingly, instead of flipping from burn dry to soaked. this means you get the same amount of rice but can still save one quarter of the water. another solution is to boost youth with other techniques. one approach to the system of rife, intensification that has spread around the world. it creates a better environment for growing rice by doing 4 things. farmers take any the healthiest seedlings to plant in the paddies. they space some further pot,

so they don't fight over nutrients. the wet and dry fields and the chun soil to kill wheat. oh, small hold of farmers have started using the technique which has gained support from governments in countries from india to indonesia. lot, the growing right clearly is just one piece of the puzzle to hundreds of millions of tons of farm waste is another. and the way father usually deal with it is toxic for both people and the planet. there are only a couple of useful things you can do with rice dro, like turning into animal theodore using it in packaging bite. these are very small scale obligations, but i store what you need to do is somehow use it to make either energy or some lab product that can be used on the farm research. this is on a booty but nika, a scientist trying to walk out what to do with the stroke. and, and, and that is only 2 weeks. and the green don't harvest on nice job. and the next

group's egg. so bidding 2 weeks after both collected transported and use it somehow, otherwise it ate. degrade that tight window, mean the cheapest option for the farm as is to just burn it. stubble, dining of the practice that bloss pollutants into the air and chokes anti cities. the biggest problem here is an even climate change. it's a deadly gases that everybody breathe. one way to fix that is to spray the field with bacteria that break down the straw into mulch. farmers can mix it into the fields to improve the fertility of the soil, which is great for crops. but breaking down the straw takes 3 full weeks until scientists can speed up the process. it'll eat into the planting time. another option is to take the straw out of the field and heated at high temperature to turn it into a dry mass called by your job by a char, the porous carbon rich substance that can be mixed into top. so it has tiny holes

that trap water and fat lighter in the soil, the longer reducing amount farms me to out and it can even be chucked into power plants to replace dirty fuels like cold. it's a promising i do. but setting up a buyer, china history is tricky because the quality of rice drove varies so much that makes it hot for the earned of the reactor to actually sell by your child with consistent properties. when you're talking about any industrial process or any commercial process, we need to ensure uniform quality. like every day that i run that he acted, i need to get the same quantity of bread out. but if research design out these technical kings, they could create a powerful alternative to binding rice straw. for now though, breaking it down on the fall, maybe the more promising solution fixing rice is a no brainer. it keeps a plant from heating it safe, dwindling water supplies, it cuts air pollution, and it makes a global food system more secure in the face of increasing and extreme weather will

make the task easier. is that on like meat or dairy? there's no peak rice industry lobbying against change and holding back progress. busy the challenge instead is to change the habits and traditions of farmers around the world who can afford need a lower yields no more extreme weather from one staple to another. that's indispensable to french cuisine, butter studies. so it's carbon impact can be more than 3 and a half times higher than plant beast equivalence. so could a wiegand crossel make the cut? let's get the one from batter's. can of legal croissant without butter, when over the french. never go to the no butter. no, no, no, i don't want to live without butter. no worries them. so that surprises me. paris is burst vague and pastry ship bethany's lake on takes on the croissant challenge.

just i bet vague and croissants can match normal ones. but she plays her bet without considering french butter. fancy with a kilograms per capita per year. there the world champions and butter consumption. right? that's part of our culture. we love butter, like a must have in french cuisine on ab government, butters, french, just like the bag. get elbows by a butter with everything made. don't do with rise with pasta, we put butter and everything, but the small bottom for the grill. the ingredients are the same as in the original and bow uneasily cons beacon recipe, except instead of butter, she takes vegetable oil and soi drink instead of cow's milk. the croissant is considered the supreme discipline among beacon baked goods. less at all, develop a chimney, but this in the taste of butter is unique and difficult to replay and the vegetable oil makes the pastry dry out more quickly. okay, so you have to adjust the moisture in the yeast dev accordingly. and as express is

ish, when the dough is rolled out, the star of the show is usually butter. baron eastlake count takes marjorie instead . then we rolled out it's placed between the dough. the dough is folded over and over again and then rolled out. this is how puff pastry is made a well off by, by the class, like on to get even classes. we use a class so catalyze, i think when you don't learn that in training, but it just is vast end of it. the classic cross on shape. however, is still done by hand and into the oven, they go. let's see whether the beacon version can convince the butter connoisseurs in paris. barren is laquanta opened her store in 2017. it was frances burst beacon pastry store at the time. she wants to appeal to as many people as possible doesn't get it again for people who are happy league and may

illness classes while no phone yet actually can. children with an egg allergy can discover pastries without any the bathroom. sometimes people throw their arms around me because they haven't had pastries in so long all like they have. i'm and we have them with no dairy and no eggs. my last off would you. this is also modified classics are on offer here. macaroni with moran made from chick the water instead of beaten egg whites or lemon tarts with tumour it instead of egg yolk for colour t on that if i have escal again, what attracts me to vague and baking is the challenge. i got a phone call when we opened 5 years ago, there was almost nothing here. now there are innovative methods and new vegan products, and it's odd the actual, the challenge is to keep the recipes evolving to try manually fall fiscally. and it will effect speaking of a challenge, the qua songs are ready butter versus no butter because in

which one's better to molest good news or places that are contributing anymore. it's less doughy and crispy, or i prefer this one. if this is better, what can we finish them? the result, 5 to 5. what does the pastry chef say? i said i'm 5050. well, i'm relatively happy with that. uh huh. so it's a draw. perhaps the french are less butter crazy than they themselves believe. well, when intention meets action, even on deeply had beliefs and practices have the potential to change for the better. if you have kicked an old habit to help the environment,

tell us about it on eco india at d w dot com. i'll see you again next week. good bye. and thanks for watching. ah, [000:00:00;00] with ah, ah, with

i've seen very few strong arguments to keep eating animals. a documentary series about the future of food with the great debate this week on t w. ah ah, this is dw live from by land, the ruling particle that it takes an early lead nigerian presidential election, but in a tight race with more than half the vote still to be reported as growing criticism over the slow counting process and accusations of election from also on the program,
