the late hour most of the year long before i was on, when humans came along, the great mass extinction began an amazing diversity of species. of the british of miles the tended to preserve this habitat. the aisles starts from a 90 on dw, the i went sitting your only for a few minutes, said i'm already golfing much russia. york has been doing this every day, twice

a day for 7 years. she's a pharma, she dense with the capital in the house, and she also looks after the entire house and into this episode we are in she's house. and today we will try to learn a little more about the lives on a few of the many struggles off women farmers and agriculture that large across india. this smoke is a major source for indoor evolution, is one of the primary causes for the deteriorating respiratory health of girls and women across the board and sub and india. and it is a major contribute to, to global warming. solving this problem would mean killing many more than 2 birds with one stone, and someone is trying to find a solution. let's find out. every day before the sun goes down, have novel divided good. and many of the women in had a village, big the long walk to find 5 or this is a common site invest in india as send to the district

lock. we go to the don't go on the route and then died in new bundles to getting back with us. after that we have to drive the road before we can use it for cooking . from morning to evening, i spend it is 56 hours long, the meals on this tune up. these coping stones expose many of them into high levels of carbon monoxide and other dangerous funny things which can cause serious health problems in the long run. an average probably in send to do it abuse is about 10 k g off volt every day. and this demand continues to rise. the founder off in india, working on social issues here. dr. prosad, the old hood has been working to address this issue in send to the, for over 25 years. man, a put a distinct may be, have about probably the 1000 families living in the villages in the district right,

by the lack of buy 1200000 people. so and so imagine the amount of food would consume on daily basis. somebody to 185 for us to have a certain amount of by mos in the form of good. and really just only use the bi mazda that's lying on the floor. do you still want to go? it won't cause any deforestation because that causes, but as the demand goes up, say 10 percent didn't need to stop cutting down before this in here. we've got a protest. but now there is an alternative. most farmers in send to the own knives, stop a combination of menu or and from these can be used to followed individual bio gas units for each home. bio gas is produced in organic matter like food and annual waste is broken down by micro organisms in the absence of oxygen. in this process, the meeting emulated from and the menu is trapped inside a don't like structure and can be used in the form of compress gas,

the in guide, the amendment and what to do it in from the co and our own toiletries can be integrated for the risk needed to produce biochemist. we can build a unit for a family of 4 that's going on, even one called of course at the high, a bio gas is not without its own drawbacks. it can be flexible and toxic. however, it can got domestic and pollution endorsed by almost 75 percent. it takes approximately a v to build a bio gas unit that's about 2 cubic meters in size. unfortunately, many farmers are apprehensive because of the cost those and then we talk about the floor plan this size. they need to invest $25000.00 to be some they do it to utilize. but by a guess is not a priority for the family. if they have saved that much money,

they will most likely spend it on a family function or on their house. what kind of energy is not the top priority by it? or we showed them that this one time investment could benefit them for at least 25 years like me. but this, the collect, the district administration has also lend its support to the end use efforts. the now incentivize the transition from 5 will to bio gas by being around half of the total cost of installing a plant. anything new will be below a little apprehensive, so making them understand about, you know, this is how sustainable, how it's cost effective. so we are giving them an incentive offer on $14500.00, but a beneficiary the government has given every district that gets off funeral, how to switching to buy a sustainable fuel. but even otherwise also i think people actual more to coming forward because they are understanding the benefits of, you know, going uh, sustainable and going great. so far the and you have had it been doing

what? 8500 bio gas units across 150 villages in send to the district. josie 5 as good was one of the 1st from head of vintage to make the switch to buy a gas the if i let them in to have had the bio guest, i don't need to go to the forest now like input very quickly the by level the 1st day and you is also given us authentic. no pressure. cool, good. well, i mean, once i put that on the gas, i can meet in 30 minutes and what to what time i'm saving. i know he wasn't doing the things i let that out of that that's i want to do one of the i've got more time for our daily business. i'm good able to produce more than that. and though it would worry down the road, i it all my life if i want it. i'm glad i limited that the more women have followed her lead and move to disagree. now and more convenient,

alternate to for cooking mandy. the board that the time saved has enabled them to start businesses or work on the farm to help generate more income for their families. sometimes sustainable alternate days like these are seen as something that's purely beneficial for the environment. but they can also transform the lives of entire communities from a family's house we have now come to the field. i'm this, what i tell is the lead cool ones, the green stick, and what is left is a husk straw. and some stubble, especially with the bad d. cool, and this is often but becoming one of the primary causes for avenue sion across the new gun to the plane. making it almost impossible to believe in almost all of north of india. but today i learned this can be efficiently managed and also profitably upside good. the

3 times a year, these women so rise seeds in the flooded fields of dom is not. it is grueling. well that the call is a lot of bending and a stooping. india produces a struggling $130000000.00 metric tons of price of the for the off of the houses, the left of was drawn husk is often but, and then the feeds which pollutes the companies across india and exploding ways to use this waste for the more than 3 years to solve fixed on the so what is the end of the meant? uh, we wanted to develop a product, which in fact can be used as it should be. the ultimate though would add the same thing. it shouldn't be as short moves on too many problems build been gone and drums a company called in the booth. after working with base products for over 20 years. he decided to experiment with rice hoss. he has been and it has the problems with

a good culturally raised 1st and the approach to farming has evolved. and the top off the top that value is the part we use as an ice destroys a byproduct, then that's larger c, 2000. and the bottom portion is incorporated back into the site. but everything is completely altered since the green they will lucian. because the, as a whole has become transformed. upcoming plumbing practices have see what else do these for recycling and they use the green revolution. the 1960, there's a period of technology across when you should is that saw a huge increase in agricultural productivity. but at the expense of sustainability and resource conservation companies like into good adding value to agriculture, new ways these bianca jerry found the store. so this it goes, system works very well for us because we have regular supply of drama data from the, from us the font most get a good thing though,

which is us to save the enrollment due to the big, the license and funding what i did counted into folder that i told to me, uh, 16 or 17 in going beyond ingredients mixed together in a pretty fix them. it is yours. and then it is a free deadline. is google battling the google machine from the google machine? it is gundy meals lead, thinking out it make the board the library. does apartment building materials usually made by bonding to get the tim layers of body using the strong adhesive? this is the world's 2nd largest producer of blythewood, which is used a lot for furniture and interior design using grice husk as a substitute for food can help prevent deforestation is simply because wherever you are able to use, but i would then you can use and know what not just limited to chance or furniture or beds. it can also comfortably be used in the kitchens and vanity where the

moisture is high. in the m f. c can be printed for live stream and also co formed. so you can create any kind of garb sofas or spider steak is if you want to create anything as possible. the complete into who has a presence in blood states, media and recently began exploding to go. it's great news you learned on along the company has plans to expand its international operations and branch out into europe to hear what i want is talking about the saving of the 3 saving of environment. but then the housing sector is again, booming up so that the mismatch of demand and supply. so the supply has to come from. so if the legal finally product because nature the product becoming a scattered day by day, it is becoming costly may by day some of the little bits essentially to

commercialize the covered goods. the long term onset will involve developing a means of generating income using this from land that has been processed the psych or commercialized and brought into a cycle. are they going to meet the in future. in the wood wants to explore the potential for producing plywood from coconut 5 by not belief coke or hoss. another drop residues elsewhere waste is an increasingly valuable product. speaking of evolution, doing or watches the larger the ongoing debate across the was an in depth transitioning from for new things, sources of energy to clean or what will sources of energy. okay. no, it's all going easy example from cool to store. but you know, what is the largest slice in this by offering mobile sources of energy? it's hydro power, but there is something off with despite for years. how long for new thing and clean

are these large hydro power plants that's find out somewhere between all the chapter about fossil fuels destroying the planet and renewables like sola and when saving us plays a big, a really big greys on. this is altered by hydropower, which is great in every sense. it's kind of sustainable, kind of green and even on the kind of renewables. most hydro power comes from the dams that i've built across rivers. water is stored in it as a for and when we need energy related to on to turbines, which then it on generation. of course, not all of them is generate hydro and not all the hydro come sometimes. sometimes still binds, also stuck into the diversion, less destruction, but less control. the 3rd kind is pumped storage where the station is split into one physically higher water is bumped up when there's enough energy and allowed to run down through it to bind when energy is needed. this one is supposed to be works really well as a large box that can come to the intermittency of sola. i'm going,

which is really positive for hydro power, but as one major problem, free flowing rivers around the world, dams, due to them. a fresh water equal systems have declined faster than all others, including forest affected by deforestation. and dom construction is the number one reason for this dies of course with the poster child of this tragedy. and many projects have come up with ways to get fish boss done some work and some done by just dixon is but it's not only about 2. so it's also about other organisms that in the river tuesday and it's also looked at the many ways hydropower disrupts and dial lots of systems. layers within the rest of the reservoir. and so in some of the lowest later is the coldest one. and so if you and let's say at the hydropower them from time to time to bulk them up and

the big gates for the water to produce electricity. and then it usually has a very strong and cold pink of water. so that's also effecting on the types of organisms in the, in but done building is bad in other ways to steal and cement, to use them in a plan. so some of the most common intensive materials on of and as most remember when i said hydro is when the kind of green and sustainable. one big reason that's true is because greenhouse gas emissions from aggressive was in the tropics, have proved to be the dictators a sub much trees degrade much fossil, the normal they release meet the and end up making. hydro projects was for the climate, then comparable coal plants. this and also graphic shows the more immediate impacts, the 3 gorges dam flooded, 13 cities a 140 downs and over 1300 villages,

up river. it even changes the local weather being so huge. it's even cause of quakes in the region. the other took them until he has created a huge block to the tigris that it ended up causing severe water shortages down the river in iraq. and then in the molly, as with 550 projects underway, dams have made the impact of land slides was over the years. hydro dams have also displaced at least 18000000 people from the homes. the big push for hydro today is coming from the time of movement since compared to fossil fuel. title doesn't look so bad. i cooked 26 and 2021. many countries pushed for hydropower as a key source of clean energy and that makes it only 2023. the international renewable energy agency declared that we need hydropower capacity to double it by 2050 the limits global warming to 1.5 degrees. this brings us to the

iron the in the 2 hydro has had it's to murphys and today this day that's meant to mitigate the time of crisis is becoming a big victim of the crisis itself. as rivers i the flood don't dry up. the productivity of all kinds of hydropower. big in small is dramatic. the dropping the climate aspect is generally being considered the new den projects even on the last on tax rivers. and we build all these large hydropower. damage that are currently 1052 percent of the remaining, the free flowing river, the big loss in the tropics. they wouldn't be fragmented. so we need hydro, but do we still need them? there is a potential for a 9 percent increase in global hydropower top city without building any new facilities. kayla got

a month for the hydro research lab in texas where they looked into 3 ways in which this could be done. the 1st category was done so that it was for anything other than hydro power, which i've already had an impact on the environment, maybe put in generators turbine. i think it's the transmission line or the scale of entirely new for development to retrofitting an existing not on power dam for generation. there is a lot of on top potential there. the 2nd category was plants that need upgrading, including generator units of software upgrades. and then a 3rd category, there is a fund of dams that are like a smaller scale. so that may be, you know, a farmer, he's not a small damn built in his property to create a bond or small late for his farming operations. there's this many additional opportunities for how you're part developing a very small scales which in developing countries maybe

a much more hello global, equitable and quick integration where hydropower projects that 9 percent boost isn't what the energy agency says is needed. but it's a significant step in the energy goals. kit also argues that it makes almost sense from an economic standpoint. sometimes might still need to be built, but these can be used for more than just hydro, in general, and this is kind of a key, we're going to have to think in a whole system. and this is also true for thinking in terms of renewables. it's important to think about how to combine learning goals, so like, so now what, what time like winds and so on. this is already happening in some places one portugal giants ok. but as before, closing solar panels, feed soul plus energy directly into the dams hydropower. so similar projects like

these have a lot of potential to use existing hydro as diet batteries to store renewable energy. energy from hydro needs to be a part of the future, but not of the cost of so much else. when this is considered, we can move towards a truly green future pop of focus on and almost all of nothing there are located in the email. again, just to explain and several of the was more staff will use the cities are also located here. and i grew up in one subsidies, growing up schools would be shut down because of a smog in the winter months. i mean, we will move out of our windows and just see small and nothing is, i mean it's still the same buttons for my best friend. what as my will offer. so stopping our house. and i didn't like that much. what is the cause of this as a nuisance and what have as a nuisance to the best find out every year when the temperature dips in winter, the quality in the bucket dining city of la hor quickly goes from bad to worse when

the land goes down pollution from cars in factories doesn't get blown away from the city. and instead farms of take small space small is especially bad for children's health. so that's why many schools get students days off to avoid forcing them to commute in the polluted city. so long at least, dodson when the horsemen scroll down, tools and building my scores. so i can see my friends anymore. and everyone usually stays home. during small season, this 1100 bed children's hospital is frequented by young patients suffering from respiratory issues. studies have shown that increased exposure to add pollution can even have long term impact on the development of children's. you're logical and cognitive capacities. you guys suck any good,

but the combination the smoke is it give me a good combination of fog into smaller as the smoke season approaches. there is a higher incidence of pneumonia allergy as to mount flu and throat infection which can have long term effects. if our dentist dupes are not taken for the whole music, which are 2 steps, nadia, that the punjab environmental protection department is tasked with addressing the root causes of air pollution in the heart here at the department's control room, they monitor and quality constantly to issue warnings, to citizens, the whole regularly appeals and lists of the most polluted cities in the what the departments team is also improving existing laws. and now they are focusing on a specific solution to reduce the air pollution that's gotten was due to organization. a bit of a nice ation dismiss, all the little webpage i knew as more and more people come to the cities there is agreed to stream on the resources of apple smoke are so needed and move

construction activity takes place here. we'll bump the dot here, and then to provide those, the sources to the cities and guard that are bridges and factories or the drive to be close to the city for better access, inconvenience up like me up to 50. i'll be sending all this causes, concentrated air pollution in the city, full talk, a good to communication of will be so you will keep your supply at full speed with us. and you can do have or function condense or just the issue that are close to 8000 brick gallons in the state of punjab. alone contributing to an estimated 10 percent of the pollution in the region. in the past they used an antiquated banking method. this procedure required going to be buttoned into a furnace, a process that's not environmentally friendly. releasing smoke with a high density of carbon monoxide and particular by children been job almost 60 percent of them have been converted to news executives. how to do this and the

small squad is inspecting big guns to oversee the transition to the zigzag method and make sure no legal fuel is being used. it will put it in a tim knew that the previous gave it to me and we did black smoke which flowed down with the changing rain plus the how on each other we had to face health issues due to that will put off again. but now we have no issues i'm, it was in the smoke as far as surface, so we and is white in color. now do of a company called the or didn't because of the brick. so pleased and a zig zag pattern inside the can. that creates literally passages between them and allows the heat to be evenly distributed. the fuel added from the top bones more efficiently, reducing fuel consumption and emissions, converting that traditional can into his exec getting costs up to 10000 euros. or however, the investment can be legal within a year, and the benefits to health and the environment are enormous. altered these estimate,

overall pollution levels have already have compared to the previous year. as the yearly small period ends, monday i'm eager to leave at the end of school. today i'm going to because the small circle, i hope for the rest of my life going forward. the cities administration has plans to help reduce values by improving public transit and creating a network of vikings. the hardest set to go in the coming years. it citizens, the hoping authorities will drastically reduce the evolution so that it's $13000000.00 residents can finally read easy. today is episode blocked us away from the city and into the win is where most of in dallas. and today i launched a little more about both indoor and outdoor pollution and the people who are trying to find the solutions for this. and what we learn to is that there is still some hope. but if you will let me know what to do, like the most about these episodes,

and what would you like to see more of? you can write to us at equal into add the day to d, w dot com, and keep coming back every week for more such as when she was with me. so feels in forests and villages until then have a great week. dick asked, who soon soft gosh the the

most t was music was an extra ordinary the. 2 memory fuse the minute he impressed

the life. 2 2 the very well thanks to jim hughes, just in the gym. loved and binding thing except for away from the fun. i'm not even allowed to go to my own car on everyone with later holes and every the staff getting are you ready to meet the germans? can join me, right? just do it on the w. ready for round 3. women in asia is back to content. mind kill, kill down the i really seen that is for you as
