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

a day for 7 years. she's a fama, she dense with the capital in the house, and she also looks after the entire house. and in 2 days episode we are in. she is house. and today we will try to learn a little more about the lives. i'm a few of the many struthers 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 on 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 that'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 site invest in india's,

send to the district block. they go to the down the road and then died in new bundles to getting back with us. after that we have to dry the wood 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 family in sin 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. beside 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 80000 families living in the villages, you know, distinguished by the lack of buy 1200000 people. so and so imagine the amount of

food would consume on daily basis. so much 185 for us to have a certain amount of by mos in the form of woodward and village is only used by mazda that line on the agenda for the state. monica, 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 to florida saying, hey, 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 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 annual menu, or is trapped inside a don't like structure and can be used in the form of compress gas,

the in guide, the amendment and you'd in from that go and our own toiletries can be integrated for the risk needed to produce bios, we can build a unit for a family of 4 that can run on even one call, but of course at the high, the 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 i'm going to go buy a good for plant this size. they need to invest 25000 to be some way to utilize. but buy a guess is not a priority for everyone in the family. if they have saved that much money,

they will most likely spend it on a family function or on that house. energy is not the top priority up prior. we showed them that this one time investment could benefit them for at least 25 years likely. but to sell the district administration has also lend its support through 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 via gas units across 150 villages in 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 and since to have had the bio guest, i don't need to go through 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 cook appointed made in 30 minutes and what, what time i'm saving. i know he was, it didn't seem to allow that, that that's, i wanted to do one of the, i've got more time for it. i'm a daddy business. i'm good able to produce more than that. and though it will do it on the very dom, 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 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 is thick and what is left is uh huh. strong and some stuff. especially with the body cross, and this is often blunt, 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 for also too many upside cuz they're not 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 wood off of the houses. the left of was drawn husk is often but in the fields which pollutes the companies across india and exploding ways to use this waste called 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 though 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 booth. after working with base product for over 20 years. he decided to experiment with rice hoss. he has been and it has the problems with

a good, comfortably raised 1st and are not going to approach deforming has evolved. and the top of the put off that value is the part we use. the ice destroys a byproduct, then that's largely fee to go. and the bottom portion is incorporated back into the site, but everything is completely altered since the green's evolution. because the, as a whole has become transformed. outcome and plumbing practices have see what else of doing piece for recycling and they use the green revolution in 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 on adding value to a good comfortable ways. these bianca jerry found the store. so this indict eco system works very well for us because we have regular supply of trauma deals 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 funding what i did convert into folder that i brought to me a 16 or 17 in going to be an ingredients mixed together in a pretty free them. it is yours. and then it is a free dating. these go to battle and that school machine from the school, the machine gun, the meals lead, thinking out it, make the board the live or the zip up and building materials, usually made by bonding to get the tim layers of body using the strong. and he's in the of the world's 2nd largest producer of blythewood, which is use a lot for furniture and interior design using grice house. 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 change or furniture or beds. it can also comfortably be used in the kitchens and

vanity where the moisture is high in the so you can be thing for listing and also total formed. so you can create any kind of code sofas or those by the stake is if you want to create anything as possible. the complete in the root has a presence in blood states. mindy, and recently began exploding to all training needs. you learn along the company has plans to expand its international operations and broncho do europe to anyone who's talking about the saving of the 3 saving off environment. but then the housing sector is again, booming up so that the mismatch of the mountain and supply. so the supply has to come from sustainable legal family product because the nature of product becoming a scattered bay by day is becoming costly, may by day some others i'm the little,

it's essential to commercialize that. it covered goods, the long term on said been involved developing a means of generating income using, based from land that has been processed the psych or commercialized and brought into a psychological and to meet the in the future in the wood, wants to explore the potential for producing plywood from coconut 5 by not belief coke or hoss. another crop residues as elsewhere waste is an increasingly valuable product. speaking of evolution, 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 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 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 turbines, 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 as a large box v 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 fresh water equal systems have decline fossil then all others, including far as affected by deforestation, and dime construction is the number one reason for this digest closer 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 by the end of the river tuesday and it's off the looks of the many ways hydropower disrupts and dial water systems. layers within the rest of the reservoir and so and some of the lowest later is the quote as well. and so if you and let's say at the hydropower them from time to time to

bulk them up and the, the gates for the water to produce a electricity. and then it usually has a very strong and cold pink of water. so that this also effecting on the types of organisms in the, in but down building is bad in other ways to steal and cement, to used a bit plan. so 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 as much trees degrade much fossil. the normal they release meet the and end up making. hydro projects was for the climate, then comparable coal plots. 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 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 fuels. hydro doesn't look so bad. i cooked 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 do that by 2050 the limits global warming to 1.5 degrees. this brings us to the

iron the in the 2 hydro, his habits boom of his m. 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 fly don't 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 all these large, i don't know what damage that car into the 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. ready 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 when they looked into 3 ways in which

this could be done. the 1st category was dams that i use 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 of for 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 bunch of them that are the smaller scale. so there 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 operations. there's this many additional opportunities for high your power development at very small gales. which in

developing countries maybe a much more a 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 billed, 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 when i switch over 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 a small sample use. the cities are also located here, and i grew up in 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 small and nothing is, 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 la hor quickly goes from bad to worse.

when the land goes down, pollution from guys 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 usually starts in when the 1st list goes on to yours 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 may smoke is

a combination of fog and as small as the smoke season approaches. there is your highest incidence of pneumonia allergy as to mount flu and throat infection 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 monitor air quality constantly. the issue, warnings, the citizens, the holders regularly appears on lists 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 pollution that's gotten worse 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. those agree to stream on data sources. 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 brick goes and factories or things that tried to be close to the cities felt better access, inconvenience up, likely off. expect to hear me telling all this causes, concentrated air pollution in the city, so that's a good to communication of will be so you will get your supply at all ski with us or you can to handle f one sion condense or just the issue that are close to $8000.00 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 in a furnace, a process that's not environmentally friendly for leasing, smoke with a high density of carbon monoxide and particular toyota and been job 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 to 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 within 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 than using 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 year. as the

yearly small period ends, monday and eagerly the duns 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 are hoping authorities will drastically reduced the evolution so that it's $13000000.00 residents can finally breed 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 about 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 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 h d w dot com and keep coming back every week for more such as when transferred me to fields and forests and villages. and then have a great week take ask you soon. oscar. the, it's the

russia is closing future sol, just students in particular, all the time because of extensive recruiting at the same time, students who publicly oppose the war of aggression and should be silent. the

students and the curtain who has experienced this refreshing, the 1st time focus on europe in 30 minutes on dw sex slaves in the catholic church. the catholic nuns denounced the holy institution after being sexually abused for decades by their spiritual leaders. their cries for help or ignored by the vatican which has chosen to protect these powerful abusers in 75 minutes dw, the brain of its magic is the kind of magic

because this orchestra called the brain continuously announcing cells. we ask a few astute questions. are we smarter in swarms? for us, the closest monster awaits hope. powerful are your thoughts wherever we can control our thoughts, which makes us very power games, we have to learn a lot. and we do that through play. questions about life, the universe and kind of like a super power our series 40 to be answers almost every thing this week on the

the this is the, the news coming to live from berlin. heavy funding between israel and palestinian militants in the gaza strip. israel says it's launched, fresh air strikes on military targets in gaza, killing a seniors allow me to hug, commend or hundreds of rockets or fired from gauze into israel. also coming up, pack us that.
