the researches and scientists all over the world for in a race against time. they are peers and rivals with one daring goals to help smart nature. the more likes watching it on youtube, dw documentary, the old habits die hard, but some habits need to die sooner or later. for our own sake, or for the sake of applying, how do i come, i've tried to go through body annual, watching eco in them. and today is episode is more fund guide o one on one, on the habits that we can change. the alternatives that we can choose and how to go

about all of this. and why we, are you thinking about habits? the 1st thing that most of popped up in your head must have been how? because let's be honest, it's not a very easy thing to do. but often we need some inspiration to push us this homework last of the villages, which is now a smart city where to address that for us. from children in schools to families in housing societies. everyone who is producing minimal waste this is been bleeds into that. one of indiana's most industrialized cities. it's budgeting. factories have attracted thousands of migrants, many of whom live in informal settlements like this one. every morning where it goes from the men's group here in going to settle for the small gods to collect garbage. it's more than just the job they want to change the way people handled evie's. i'm sad. 6 collect nearly 350, like, you know, it's

a weight based on think amenities, and almost 550. can those of die? we like be burnt. and alaska tags to the efforts help low central group residents now know how to segregate the garbage and keep it ready for pick up blue for dry and green for web based. the waste has been brought to this collection point read this further sought by other group members big on one of the it was hard to convince people to give a separate drive and the beast they put on to me and see where are we supposed to keep separate beans open like in our dining, how it should be done, protect your house, was that if i said, well, if that's what it takes to keep the community clean that has been done and done with the duct my how the light is on monday is group was set up in 2015. it's aim is to generate income for women to work that helps improve living conditions and that communities today, the municipal cooperation phase the salaries. that's because it sees their work as

a valuable service to the city. they are doing something which is good and something which is quote unquote, on ribbon and not something but just to be looked down upon it as also does that it did in to a cleaners long it does. it is outdated to a more segregated way. it's coming out of the slums and also helping the guidance from the way that gets in dated the ones who can loaded up a menu or that gives them their due to what, how the brand. and then also sending that the brand. in one case you do gives you 5 gives the bags as at the women's work selves of why they're going to don't compete to insight into a 0 based city as an industrial hub governed by one of and as of it, just municipal bodies. it has the funds to achieve that goal. it strategy has brought grassroots activists on board this, i'm excuse me, maybe with the, even the classrooms were full of little students with just about the garbage behind

the door. so i decided to set up a dedicated garbage area inside the school, and that's how i started creating, motivated this in schools, about the segregation of it at the drive and has the displacement pull jet. so if you look at it, because i said, oh i team the tools going to collect all the plastic separately and store it in one place so that it can be, be cited in plastic to. yep. but it's also beneficial to monica to normally devised fun ways for kids to keep desperately like trusting a sole goal one still bought to collect plastic. so you're also teen teachers to continue to work with pupils in the classroom. for many southern trash has become 2nd nature, vanilla i eat chips, biscuits, so instead of doing them in the best, when i remember that identity doors or do we don't have the to it in the best when they have the tool in this, once you bought those and they said you got back by the local government to know

more of these efforts have now been extended to 7 other schools and been beaten for amongst them is this one that efforts by students and teachers when the school of prize for being the cleanest in the city and why the sizes that i have the, this is having this to include and the lead time is that bought it from the trees on to the collect everything and put it into compose to send me provided by the city. you know, the comfort room or there, i mean, it doesn't have it. this tends into a fault, eliza, and then be able to show the children 1st tend to benefit self organic, exposed lateral good. last night and we'll learn i'm, it's something that can be used for our schools, kitchen gardens. yeah. the girl various kinds of vegetables and flowers i get my day regular get up. look at you. part of my day if i live i, it explodes, but it comes such initiatives like one that we did more than grassroots efforts for the city to make the transition to 0. based by considering a risk management as

a fully municipal a category as a property of the municipality, from which that is a single transition, which is happening food, think of wrist as also a suicide. is responsibility med, orange in the data itself. least on, on sort of responsible for risk management. i think that is the floor plans ition, which one sees happening in indian cities which is positive. and i see the development symptom position. so i as a very much in line with this and the transition presidents, young and old, are changing database disposal habits a small step in the bigger picture. yes. but it's making a difference. never the less. whatever the 51 i work for the field based project. when i go back to me, i really need my produce what i tell them not to, to trash outside or any. but as i see, if this can work in the city,

it can also keep the village clean. we show that everyone that's following this. we don't have the to garbage and event on the drawer. this is a healthways. well, us and for the, for you just to so in the field to and so it would be very easy for us. there will be no pollution, nothing. so it will be very like natural thing. so you can see that's it. and that's where the i guess one of the doors that's less dual upside adults, it goes situation, which is hard to escape from. like the appliances that we use. for instance, we use an air conditioner to escape from the heat. but the emissions from this ac in don't contribute to the heat that created the need for them in the 1st place. the more you will use the, obviously, the more you will need it to in the future. but how do we excuse folding for thoughts and single poor and even new delhi, new york and hong kong noticed anything. and these parts of the world life without

air conditioning can be uncomfortable or downright dangerous. more than a dozen people have died and then during the past 2 months, due to a severe heat wave. 5th, waste waste heat wait. but that brings us to our dilemma. technology needs lots of energy. in fact, cooling, building accounts for 10 percent over global electricity consumption, and that's bad news for global warming. but there are solutions, some traditional, some modern that don't even have massive amounts of energy. so can they help us break out of this visual circle? the, the story behind this conundrum begins in new york city in 1982. that's where the engineer will as carrier and lead the foundations for the modern air conditioner. he designed an engine to control the humidity in a printing class because there was more things of paper. nowadays, americans are still some of the most prolific users globally 90 percent of us

households on an air conditioner and some of the hardest parts of the roof. it's not even 10 percent, but other countries want to catch up. just look how much more energy some of these emerging economies are projected to use in the coming decades to colder homes and buildings. this is 2016, and this is 2050. if you see in the air conditioning market is going, another visits on good clunky is working to open up the global market for high efficiency. air conditioners in the us population is growing, is getting even more of like the, but i'm also a large portion of the population is one of the nice thing is moving to cities and all that together wants to do it is to a huge demand for the air conditioners, because of trends, like d is global energy demand for space cooling that's projected to triple by 20. 50. the question is how to meet the soaring demands without exacerbating the heat? because and much of the world, the energy because when technology is powered by fossil fuels,

these limit lots of greenhouse gases, which make the atmosphere hotter. and nowadays, is these have refrigerants running through their coils to absorb heat from the warm air. some of them are literally greenhouse gases. you don't want those leaking out of your unit on top of that air conditioners, cool indoors basis, by pushing out the heat, that refrigerants absorb. that means they make the immediate surroundings hotter to, and people who can't afford to suffer most from that. so you go to 3 for the effect as a result of air conditioning on that my skin and be able to reduce it down to either efficient, holding or to cooling without air conditioning is usually a smart solution to get that this is per side by the an expert in passive solar design, he says there are 3 steps to quit sustainable you 1st, we need to reduce heat at a city wide scale. you may have heard of the urban heat island effect. it's when the urban areas like these get warmer than the surroundings,

because all of this concrete absorbs and retain seats, creating more spaces with shady trees and other plants less than the specific. like here in berlin. and minimizing heat, expelled by cars, also makes a difference. the next step is designing buildings that aren't as reliant on air conditioners. and this is where we can really learn from traditional architecture before technology or piece to runs awards phone solutions to, to show by the property chug olive of dime leads bio climatic architecture projects and countries like vietnam and mauritania. that means that designs take local climates into accounts. some modern buildings are already doing this, such as cut the university, which uses wind power, so keep it buildings cool. this method has been used in iran and other middle eastern countries for centuries. the so called wind cultures are designed to trap fresh air and directed indoors. the hot air gets pushed out. you may also have

noticed that houses in hot climates are some light. some countries like india are bringing back this approach by painting grooves with line based whitewash, which absorbs less heat. this can reduce indoor temperatures by 2 to 5 degrees celsius. knowing the wind direction is important to design openings that encourage cross ventilation. other features that can help steve off heat or shading devices to keep the facade cool. and insulation prevents heat from traveling through your roof. for example. issues may still need to be used sometimes, but to a much lesser extent. the problem in many countries going to a construction boom, new buildings often look like this. but it does tend to bid them with floor to ceiling glass. and that's the love problem, because every time you put the glass into a building, you've done it basically into a hot box. it's like associate architects and engineers say this. acetic is popular because it's perceived this week, modern and left

a natural life changing that would require more rigorous building regulations around energy efficiency and a massive cultural shift to actually get them enforced on the grounds. another big obstacle is that this approach tackles new construction. but what about all the old, badly insulated buildings that already exist? this takes us to our next solution, more efficient air conditioning. because there is no technological reasoning for a cease to use as much energy as many commercial models to now. but what if we thought about efficient mechanical cooling on a much larger scale system like this is already functioning and singapore here and underground air conditioner touted as the largest in the world quotes, residential buildings, bags, balls, and this iconic hotel. the technology is called district cooling and it can save up to 50 percent on energy and emissions. that's because having one big planned cooling an entire district makes it super efficient. the water is chill. 25 meters

below the ground before it's piped across different buildings. so these, like toronto, paris and hong kong have already taken on the colossal task of cooling, thousands of buildings with one system. in some cases, district cooling makes use of networks that already exist. most of the system in paris runs through the cities to which networks. but for the most part, the district cooling is better suited for new constructions. for example, i would gerad international finance, tech city, also known as gift city. well buildings and you hyper dense engine district. developers had a blank canvas to implement any cooling solution they wanted their choice, district cooling because it's more efficient and cheaper to maintain. this may sound utopian, but like all other solutions, it requires lots of upfront capital. know how and of course awareness. the good news is cooling doesn't always have to look like this. but if we don't move in a more sustainable direction, fast enough, we risk thing trapped in

a solution that is actually part of the problem free the solar panels. what do you think they can do? provide electricity was no point so guessing that because they can do a lot more that out. innovations that are combining the science of $4.00 to $1.00 dates or converting lights into energy and the agriculture up to create interesting sustainable outcomes for both the sama and the fees. the surface and the accommodation are excellent. the fresh feed every day and plenty of space and sunlight, chickens, and ducks are kept in natural conditions here at the company, sun, farming, and the manager. let me show you like a guest to collect fresh eggs. the unit produces energy to boot. the roof is made of solar

modules haka or stuck hail or extreme weather, such as heavy rain window. snow is less severe under the modules, and it has to be up to us onto to unlock it, plus get to also in 10 sunlight to the cows. don't get sunburn when they're outside on the meadow in the summer. and so my thoughts house enough divided, leaving the angry voltage company sun forming has been experimenting with combining photo vall takes and agriculture for 2 years now. fruit, vegetables, berries, and herbs. nearly anything can be grown under the solar modules. they're positioned at a height, but let's in plenty of daylight blocks, potentially harmful direct sunlight to counselor. another advantage of the system is that the building components can be recycled. ringback to shift on the new economy of just stealing glass 100 percent and you can all be recycled on. the

structures can be dismantled and result in as time goes, the material has good salvage value and is always in demand. or steve is always needed for the materials in the modules can be used to build houses or storage sheds. that's good. i'm going to send you on this trying to find a drip irrigation system collects rain water and funnels it into channels defend distributed evenly across the ground because this makes the drops larger. they can also penetrate deeper into the substrate and keep it moist for longer. thanks to this irrigation system, the plants are less likely to become diseased. and improved in trouble to regions. fungal infestation is common because the leaves, flowers and fruit get wet viewing here, under the modules, the plans grow between the drip rose up. that means that they have dry leaves and

only absorb moisture through the roots. when you're moving to a new part to cut off now as your home, as a result, they have 80 to 90 percent less fungus. and that means you can spray 80 to 90 percent less and still get the same yield on the line to, to get to you know, you come and combined with water efficient irrigation. this old array can also be used in regions. that's the little rain that i sent when the important 90 percent of the plants grow in here are supplied by drip irrigation. the energy required is barely one percent of the energy produced by this solar modules. the students from the brandenburg university of technology are also monitoring the project they're using sensors to study how the micro climate under the modules compares with a normal area or to if they measure light intensity humidity

and the temperature both in the air and the soil around the plants routes into some debts and to really tell them as an invasion fits all at regular intervals and then they also measure the rain that's been collected in these containers. i am just to be produced and come to the one big tuscan. the differences are clear, i was that i must be my o, d u, i'm 50 state and even we've discovered the in the cold the times of yet it's much will not under the modules and in the for now, on average $1.00 to $2.00 degrees will know how many find out the drink dry spells it significantly dump the under the modules and out in the open voice to f as of to off and then they have there are different cells, arrays for different purposes. the, the panels are designed so that the top of the plants get more light, but at the same time, wine and fruit plants are protected from too much solar radiation for livestock

farming. there are modules at different heights for cattle, poultry, and also sheet farmer or leakage needs, keeps $250.00 kaos that's spend the whole year outside their costs are born in winter. the i agree photo voltaic system has obvious benefits each load as being the soonest system would also be a good source of income. what the crew isn't the uh, salt lake, how's it kept on? send the raw, the pool soil in nature conservation areas, and they help maintain the soil. so the solar system would be an added source of income in addition to the capital. oh, we can also use it as a dry place to store. i hate the cows feed on for you and it's also a protective roof for them into a stair to you. the few of the farmers cattle already gone to try out their

new accommodation and they seem to feel right at home. well, the good news is planning on installing the system as soon as possible. how's it been? oh yeah. you know, one that we are you what, what do you do after you're done using your some of us might be placing this inc, strong. like most of us, we just throw the or ping away on several. depends on like this one. don't even have the option of replacing this inc strong. but what does your benco do more than just head rule, the tree of knowledge difficult actually, girl ality. i agree with it and watch it, the whole thing would be the site to it as well. okay. know what it is you would find out for yourselves sewing the seeds of

jeans, see that button? who comes from the village of am pulliam income and i do came up with the idea of creating a green, been my diploma and mechanical engine. i must qualified mechanically the total height grew up in the remote village, very close to nature in the cities. deforestation has been a splost of use and straight side of hi, i wanted to find a solution to mosque even if it's a smaller scale to bring up on the slide design, what they call up the. but then when you divide that by a degree to be a made of recycled people, all depends also contain captions filled with seats. feats that flush and locus, sorry, and don't need much looking after the people that have kept the deluxe connect to the girl from disappear. and i mean, so i to a few of the use bends in the ground in front of my office and local school. the students did the same like they have grown into plant, supported in many people said they enjoyed seeing them kite. the people fence has got plastic usage to in india up to 2400000000 plastic bins. a sold each year and

more than 90 percent of them do not get recycled according to the national green tribune to the young entrepreneur also hopes his bands can make a difference in his community. or even the new production couldn't be done by one individual alone a couple. and then that's why i got a group of i'm unemployed women together in my village on entering them. i don't want to like they have benefited from the do the income when people in this opinion be do training program other than nearby villages to and the political and the the buttons of my fund. i don't care. don't know. i'm understanding and it's really funny to look back of the way we can own an income. what taking care of our families. it's much more convenient than and on the job. somebody can combine this work with a family life family. i'm not about to see about bottling and his theme me around $800.00 to $1000.00 density according to demand domain customers of schools and

colleges defense cost $5.00, rubies each. a photograph. but when we take the paper and down the middle and it leaves the line of gone and place the increases, but after that we fold it and put it into a paper rolling machine. once the pen is dry, we add a cap, 2 to the back, and phillips with c odds. and then we pasted with gum again, an added cap, unpackaged defense i meet with the machine originally designed to manufacture fire crackers, see about bottling found a way to convert the model. he now seems to make a smaller woods into says he also wants to refine his bands and use organic materials to make inquiry books to columbus. how long and my challenge here is gonna make the product a 100 percent organic and nobody haven't been able to do that to you at a 0.0.5 percent of it is the last day. we are trying to improve that a bit odd indeed or not. we are experimenting with things like peacock feathers

which was use to write an inch in times weren't allowed me to leave for an autumn the other needed to go the now what out in the plastic but as an individual not i can not bring changes just with my paper pen, either one to everyone, needs to take the sponsibility on and try to use such products for them to get lost to use it. i wouldn't, i'm a small changes all that stuff. yeah, i don't. like i said at the beginning of this episode, it is a one on one on the small habits that we can change to make a big distanced lot in mind. and well, i'm already thinking quite a few of my habits, including my 5th. but you let me know it today is episode inspired you to change any of your habits. and what story is, would you like to see more off? i, we keep bringing more such stories to you. you can email us or do you talk to me directly on my social media? i will see you next week until then take care. goodbye. the most gosh, the
