the, the ready for round street women in asia is that to contact our mind kill, kill down the i really seen that is for him as a life, not system. we're season 3 of our award winning documentary series, her women and asia the i went sitting your only for a few minutes, said i'm already golfing much. joshua york has been doing this every day, twice

a day for 7 years. she's a pharma, she dense with the cattle in the house, and she also looks off to the entire house. and in 2 days episode we are in she's house. and today we will try to learn a little more about the lives and a few of the many struthers off women farmers and agriculture at 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 through i'm sub and india. and it is a major contribute to the 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 firewood. this is a common sight invest in india as seemed to the district

blocking me go to the down the route and then died into bundles to getting back with us. after that, we have to drive the wood before we can use it for cooking. this morning to evening . i spent that is 56 hours long. the meals on this tune up these cooking stores 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 family in sin to do it abuse is about 10 k g off volt every day and this demand continues to rise of the found it also in india working on social issues here. dr. besides, the old hub has been working to address this issue in this, into 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 with,

by the lack of buy 1200000 people have been. so imagine the amount of food would consume on daily basis. somebody to 185 for us to have a certain amount of biomass in the form of fluid. and the village is only used by mazda that line on the jungle floor. it won't cause any d for a session because that causes but as the demand goes up, say 10 percent, when did the living need to stop cutting down the for the same? here we've got a forest. but now there is an alternate. the most farmers in send to the own knives, stop a combination of menu or, and found these can be used to followed individual bio gas units for each home. bio gas is produced when organic matter like food in annual waste is broken down by micro organisms in the absence of oxygen. in this process, the meeting emulated from amie many, many or is dropped inside a don't like structure and can be used in the form of compress gas,

the in guide, the amendment and what you would in from the go and our own toilet breeze 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 went out of course at the high, the bio gas is not without its own drawbacks, it can be flame, mobile and toxic. however, it can got domestic ad 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 put a come by a good for plant, decided they need to invest $25000.00 to be some they do it. and utilized 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 up prior to we showed them that this one time investment could benefit them for at least 25 years slightly. what this does look like 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 paying 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're understanding the benefits of, you know, going uh, sustainable and going great. so far the and you have had it been doing

what, 8500 via gas units across 150 villages and send to the district. dorothy 5 as good was one of the 1st from her village to make the switch to buy a gas and by letting them in. since to have had the bio guest, i don't need to go to the forest. now i can click very quickly to the bottom left in 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 now use it in the fee that, 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 minutes and though it will do it on the very day unless you're done with it, i'm glad i remember that the more women have followed her lead and move to disagree . now and more convenient,

alternate to for cooking. many 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 body growth, and this is often but becoming one of the primary causes for avenue sion across the new guns declaim, 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 cuz then on in the

3 times a year these women so rise seeds in the flooded fields of domino not it is grueling what good to call as a lot of bending and a stooping india produces a straggling $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 exporting ways to use this waste of the more then we have a soft extra honestly, 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 goal would add the same thing. it shouldn't be as show moves on too many problems. build been gone and drums a company called in the book. after working with base product for over 20 years, he decided to experiment with rice hoss. he has a bit and it has the problems with

a good culturally raised 1st. and as the approach to farming has evolved and the top off the top that value is the part we use as an ice. this choice a by product, then that's larger c, 2000. and the bottom portion is incorporated back into the site. but everything is completely altered since the greens that we lucian, because just as a whole, has become transformed. upcoming plumbing practices have see what else do these for recycling and then use the green revolution. the 1960, there's a period of technology across when you should is that so a huge increase in agricultural productivity, but at the expense of sustainability and results. 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 send the enrollment due to the big the license. and from what i did con, reading the folder that i go to me, uh, 16 or 17 in going beyond ingredients mixed together in a pretty freedom. it is yours. and then it is a free dating these google battle, and the school machine from the google machine is going to be meals lead, thinking out it, make the board the library. does apartment building materials usually made by bonding to get a 10 layers of voltage using the strong adhesive? this is the world's 2nd largest producer of blythewood, which is use 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 listing, and also co formed. so you can create any kind of garb sofas or those by the stick is if you want to create anything as possible. the complete into who has a presence unplugged states. mindy and recently began exploding to go scream new zealand on them on the company has plans to expand its international operations and branch out into europe to everyone 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 the nature of the product becoming a scale of day by day, it is becoming costly by day. some of the little bits essentially are to

commercialize the colored 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 the future. in the wood wants to explore the potential for producing plywood from coconut 5 by not believe coke or hoss. another crop residues as elsewhere waste is an increasingly valuable product. speaking of absolution, juno watches the largest ongoing debate across the was an india transitioning from when using sources of energy to clean or again what, what 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 will be sources of energy. it's hydro power, but there is something often despite for you 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 lives. a big a really big grays 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 hydropower comes from the dams that i've been across rivers. water is stored in it as a for and when we need energy related to on to, to by ends which then run generates us. of course, not all damage generate hydro and not all the hydro comes sometimes. sometimes still binds, also stuck into the diversion, less destruction, but less control. the fluid kind is bumped the 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 of a large vaccine that can counter the intermittency of sola. i'm wins,

which is really positive for hydro power, but as one major problem free flowing rivers, or rather what dams do to them. a freshwater equal systems have decline faster than all others, including far as affected by deforestation. i'm done. construction is the number one reason for this data, of course, is 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 that it's not only about 2. so it's also about other organisms that individual 50 out of saw. so looks at the many ways hydropower disrupts and dial watches 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,

people come 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 organism in but done, the thing is bad in other ways to steal and cement, to used a bit of plans, some of the most common intensive materials on of and as well. remember when i said hydro is any 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 clouds. this nasa 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 the quakes in the region. the other took them until he has created a huge block to the tigris that it ended up causing silvio water shortages down the river in iraq. and then in that you, molly, as with 550 projects underway, dams has made the impact of land slides was over the years. hydro dams have also displeased at least 18000000 people from the homes. the big push for hydro today is coming from the time of movement since compared to fossil fuels. title doesn't look so bad. a golf 26 in 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 its boomer phase and today this takes that's meant to mitigate the climate crisis is becoming a big victim of the kaiser. ringback itself as riverside, the florida and dry up the productivity of all kinds of hydropower, big and small, is dramatic. the dropping the climate aspect is generally being considered the new dumb projects. even on the last on tax rivers. in we build on these large side of the damage that are currently 1052 percent of the remaining, the free flowing river, the big loss in the tropics. they would be fragmented. so we need hydro, but do we still need them. ready there is a potential for a 9 percent increase in global hydropower at the top cities without building any new facilities. kayla got

a month for the hydro research lab in texas when they looked into 3 ways in which this could be done. the 1st category was done, so that was for anything other than hydro power, which i've already had an impact on the environment. maybe put in generators turbine, i guess the transmission line or the scale of an entirely new type, tory development to retrofit a, an existing non on power dam presenter ration. there is a lot of on top potential there. the 2nd category was plants that need upgrading, including generally 2 units of software upgrades. and then up to a category. there is a fund of dams that are a smaller scale. so that may be, you know, a farmer, he's got a small dam built in his property to create a bond or small late for his farming operation. there's this many additional opportunities for high your par development of very small gales. which in

developing countries may be a much more how will 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 can 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 when you 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 their renewables. so like so now what, what time like winds and so on. ready 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 system. 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 explain. i'm separate on the was more sample use. the cities are also located here and i grew up and one subsidy. growing up, schools would be shut down because of a smog in the winter months. i mean people move out of our windows and just see moms and nothing else. i mean, it's still the same buttons for my best friend to add as my wouldn't offer. so pop in 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 that? that's find out every year when the temperature dips in winter, the quality in the bucket dining city of the hor quickly goes from bad to worse.

when the land goes down, pollution from dogs 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. that's why many schools give students days off to avoid forcing them to commute in the polluted city. so long usually starts and when the most most little donkey was in building my score. 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 may

a small gidgit, chemical combination of fog and as small as the smoke season approaches. there is a higher incidence of pneumonia, allergy us tomorrow, flu and throat infections which can have long term effects. if our dentist dips are not taken for the home music which are 2 steps now the 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 wanted to add quality constantly to issue warnings to citizens the whole or take literally a pose unless of the most polluted cities and 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 worse due to organization of been called auto ionize 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. more costs are needed and more construction activity takes

place here. we'll bump the dot here, and then to provide those, the sources to the cities that got that are bridges and factories, offering the drive to be close to the city for better access and convenient supply . in fact, the army sending all this causes concentrated air pollution in the cities full. that's a good to communication of will be so you will get your supply at all ski with us and you can do have o f one sion condense or just the issue that are close to 8000 brick guns 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 furnace. a process that's not environmentally friendly for leasing . smoke with a high density of carbon monoxide and particular by children, punjab almost 60 percent of them have been converted to news executives. this and

the small squad is inspecting big guns to oversee the transition, to this exact method. and make sure annoying, legal fuel is being used. they don't put it in the tim knew that the previous type it to me and we did black smoke which flowed down with the changing van plus the how on each other we had to face health issues due to that will put us and then but now we have no issues, i'm, it was in the smoke is far less searching, so we and is white in color. now we come to god was different because the brakes are placed in a zigzag pattern inside the can. that creates literally passages between them and allows the heat to be even be distributed. the fuel added from the top bones more efficiently, reducing fuel consumption and emissions, a, converting a traditional, getting into a zigzag, getting costs up to 10000 euros. 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 here. as the

yearly small period ends, monday, i'm eager to leave the guns to school. today i'm going because the small circle thing 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 residents can finally read easy today is episode got us away from the city and into the villages where most of in dallas and today i launched a little more of. 8 both indoor and outdoor pollution and the people who are trying to find the solutions for this and what we learned to that there is still some hope . but if you would let me know what did you like the most about these episodes?

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