us loss goals. so here's 3 reasons why one to 115. we are here to help you make up your mind because i'm much up to you from table topics the new culture of monday and containment. let's say together. what's the quote, the old habits die hard, but some habits need to die sooner or later. for our own sake or for the sake of applying. hello and welcome. i'm sorry, got the 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 doing it. and why we,

are you thinking that 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 farmer glass door to villages, which is now a smart city where to adjust that for us from children in schools to families in housing societies. everyone who is producing minimally waste this is been breed since like one of india'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 dalinta to settle for the small gods to collect garbage. it's more than just schedule. they want to change the way people hand deliveries that. 6 collect nearly 350, no, wait for you from to communities and almost 500 and because of guy with like paper

and alaska times through the effort telco says that a group residents now know how to segregate the garbage and keep it ready for pick up a beautiful dry and green full but based the waste is then brought to this collection point read this further sought by other group members big i, one of the it was hard to convince people to give us separately to try and breakfast they put on tonight and see, where are we suppose to keep separate bins? you know, the dining house should be done to protect your house. we've got to, i'd say, well, if that's what it takes to keep the community clean that has been done and done with the duct. my how the day on mondays and mondays group was set up in 2015. it scheme 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 label and not something but just to be looked down upon it as also to validate into a clean as long as it is, i'll get into a more segregated way. it's coming out of the slums and also helping the guidance from the way that gets ended, the ones who can load in the menu or that gets updated to what, how did brand, and then also sending that brand. in one case you do gives you 5 gives the bags as well. the women's book, selves of white. a gold don't compete ends, but it was 0 based city as an industrial hub, government by one of india's, which is 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 um 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 more awareness in schools about the segregation of it at the drive and has the displacement apologizing. like i said us because i said, oh, i team the tools into collect all the plastics separately and store it in one place . and they cool so that it can be the site that you plastic to. yep. but it's also beneficial monica to normally devised fun ways for kids to keep this between. like trusting us, we'll go one step but to, to collect plastic 0 to 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 attended to the doors or do we don't have the to it in the best when they have the tool. it's in this once you bought those back by the local government to know more of these efforts had now been extended to 7 other schools

and been beaten for amongst them is this one that efforts by students and teachers, one the school, the prize for being the keenest in the city. i'm either sizes that i have the that this is having this to include in the lead time is that far from the trees on the collect everything and put it into control. spend me provided by the city, another albany to compare grandmother. i mean, it doesn't have it, this turns into a faulty lives there. and be able to show the children plus tend to bend if it's something organic composed lateral good. last day and we'll learn, i'm something that can be used for our schools, kitchen gardens, very girl, various kinds of vegetables and flowers the regular chapel. gotcha. part of my day, if i live i, it explodes my gums, such initiatives like one that it would take more than grassroots efforts for the city to make the transition to 0. based by considering a risk management as a fully municipal category, as a property of the municipality, from which there is

a snow on vision which is happening food, think of wrist as also a. so sites in this one, so many be read on and just visa itself. least are also 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 developments in some positions way as a very much in line with this and the organization. residents, young and old, are changing database disposal habits a small step in the big picture. yes. but it's making a difference. nevertheless. whatever the 3051, 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 garage outside or any. but as i see, if this can work in the city, it can also keep the village green. we show that everyone,

that's all of 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 to do it. and so would it be very easy for us. there is a no pollution, nothing. so it will be very like natural thing, so you can see that's it. and natural gas, $22.00 or just plus 2 up sided oaks. it goes situation which is hot 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 your ac, the more you will need it in the future. but how do we escape this vicious cycle? then? the answer is sustainable. cooling, to take a look at these buildings for thoughts and single forth and use a new delhi,

new york and hong kong. noticed anything. and these parts of the world life without air conditioning can be uncomfortable, or it's downright dangerous. more than a dozen people have died and then during the past 2 months, due to a severe heat with this heat wave, the waste heat wait. but that brings us to our dilemma to 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 heat up the 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 lead the foundations for the modern air conditioner. he designed an engine to control the humidity in a printing class because it was warping the 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. you see in the air conditioning market, it is growing in double digits on good, clunky is working to open up the global market for high efficiency. air conditioners in the us population is, is growing, is getting even more of like a, but i'm also a large portion of the population is one of the nice thing is moving to cities and all of the doctor got a wants to do. it's do a huge demand for the air conditioners because of trends like these global energy demand for space cooling, that's projected to triple by 25th to 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 are the lots of greenhouse gases which make the abaski or 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 interest basis. by pushing out the heat, dep 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 really 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 cooling, sustainable here. first, we need to reduce heat at a city wide scale. you may have heard of the urban heat island effect. it's one

urban areas like these get warmer than the surroundings because all of this concrete absorbs and retains heat, creating more spaces with shady trees and other plants less than a 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 preferred chunk of, of dime leads bio climatic architecture projects. and countries like vietnam and more attain yet. that means that designs take local climates into accounts. some modern buildings are already doing this, such as cut to the university which uses wind power, so keep its buildings cool. this method has been used in iran and other middle eastern countries for centuries. the so called wind cultures are designed to

traverse fresh air and directed indoors. the hot air it gets pushed out. you may also have noticed that houses in hot climates or 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 save 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 problems in many countries going through a construction global new buildings often look like this. but it does tend to bid them with floor to ceiling glass. and that's the glove problem, because every time you put a glass into a building, you've done it basically into a hot box. it's like a sooner. ok, 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 map of cultural shift to actually get them enforced on the ground. another big obstacle is that this approach tackles new constructions. so what about all the old, badly insulated buildings that already exist? this takes us to the next solution, more efficient air conditioning because there is no technological reasoning for a cease to use as much energy as many commercial models do 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. it's how did as the largest in the world quotes, residential buildings, bags, malls, and this iconic hotel. the technology is called district cooling and it can save up to 50 percent on energy and dimensions. that's because having one big planned

cooling an entire district makes it super efficient. the water is chilled 25 meters below the ground before its pipes 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. both of the system and terrorist runs through the cities to which networks. but for the most part, district cooling is better suited for new constructions. for example, would your rod international finance, tech city, also known as gift city 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 into 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 fine. so guessing that because they can do a lot more, that innovations that are combining the science of photo. what dates, parking lot thing, lights into energy and 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 gift to collect fresh eggs. of 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 on to unlock it and plus get also in 10 sunlight to the cows. don't get sunburned 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 volt, 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 that let's in plenty of daylight blocks potentially harmful direct sunlight. like another advantage of the system is that the building components can be recycled. to shift on this new economy of just stealing glass

100 percent and it can all be recycled on. the structures can be dismantled and re sold. as time goes, the material has good salvage value and is always in demand. or steve is always needed for the materials and the modules can be used to build houses or storage sheds. that's good and kind of thing to understand. the high 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. in improvement, in tropical regions, phone go in for stations are coming in because the leaves flowers and fruit get where it's just missed via the on here, under the modules,

the plans grow between the drip rose. so that means that they have dry leaves and only observe moisture through the roots. when you're moving, you bought a new party 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. i'm just trying to get to you, you know, when you come in combined with water efficient irrigation. the silver ray can also be used in regions. that's the little rain. and i certainly important 90 percent of the plants growing here are supplied by drip irrigation. the energy required is barely one percent of the energy produced by the 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 roots us into some debts and to really tell them is that he fits all at regular intervals and then they also measure the rain that's been collected in these containers. i am the produced and come to them and be testing the names of the differences aren't clear . i was that i must be my o, d u, i'm 50 state and we've discovered the in the cold a times of yet it's much will not under the modules and in the open them on average one to 2 degrees will not ones that we found out the during dry spells, it's significantly dumped under the modules and out in the open voice the effects of to often and they have there are different sills arrays for different purposes. 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 capital, poultry and also sheet form or, or the kitchen is keeps $250.00 cows that spend the whole year outside their cars are born in winter. the i agree photo voltaic system has obvious benefits included as being the solar system would also be a good source of income with the crew of using 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 that the cows feed onto it 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 or you. but what do you do after you're done using your some of us might be placing this inc strong. but most of us, we just throw the or ping away on several bands. i'm like this one. don't even have the option of replacing this extra. but what is your benco do more than just head rule, the tree of knowledge, difficult to actually girl ality. i agree when i'm watching the whole think would be cited as well. ok. no more. it is you will find out for yourselves the sewing the seeds of change. see the

balance who comes from the village of am pulliam income and i do came up with the idea of creating a green, been mechanically by most qualified mechanically the total height grew up in the remote village, very close to nature in the cities. deforestation has been a lot of use, it's a side of high boston. i wanted to find a solution, 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. seats that flush and locus, sorry, and don't need much looking after the people that is kept. the deluxe connect to the crew from disappearing. i mean, so i to a few of the use pens and the crowns in front of my office and local school. the students did the same like they have grown into planned school in many people said they enjoyed seeing them type the people fence has got plastic usage to

in india up to 2400000000 plastic bins are 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 holds his bins, can make a difference in his community or even the now in my new production couldn't be done by one individual alone a couple. and then that's why i got them both. i'm unemployed women to get there in my village on entering them. i don't want to like they have benefited from the do the income when people in this branding we do training program other than nearby. but it just to, in the political and the, the bottoms up my funding on get on know, i'm on the dining and the boy, when he took like 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 buying and his team meet around

800 to 1000 density according to demand domain customers of schools and colleges. the fence costs 5 rupees each photograph where we take the paper and down the middle and it leaves the line of gum and plastic increases. but after that we fold it and put it into a paper rolling machine. once the pen is dry, we add a cap to, to the back. and phillips with c odds. and then we pasted with gum again, an added cap, unpackaged. the defense i meet with the machine originally designed to manufacture fire crackers, see about bottling found a way to convert the model. he now aims to make us 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. so now we are experimenting with things like peacock feathers which was used to write an inch in times and allowed me so different on, on the other if i need to go the now what are in the plastic then as an individual, now 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. i don't want to cut last to use it. i wouldn't. i'm a small changes all that though. 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 decisions throughout in lima. and well, i'm already thinking quite a few of my habits, including my 5th. but you let me know if 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 already talked to me directly on my social media. i will see you next week until then take care goodbye the most gosh, the,

the, the

width list, nature's destructive power from the volcano, or rupture on the, to the destruction and re generation of the of lava and like the in 15 minutes on the w.

anything steal without cool. putting concrete on a c o 2 diet and producing aluminum with eco energy. industrial scale, climate ascenders have a green, a peasant e. is it a sustainable fairy tale? the new reality can steal cement in ho, go green flow stuff. in 90 minutes on d w. the oh, the one of the main kinds, oldest ambitions could be within reach. what do you see? it really is possible to reverse the researchers and scientists all over the world. for you know, 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, how many platforms can you handle single attain usually without having the feeling that it's just too much you might see me. how much can we do simultaneously? multitasking these, the modern methods. because if we do too much, we had it all wrong. we messed things up, risking brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage. humans and multitasking watch. now on youtube, v w documentary,

the, this is dw use life from the land as a buys on target to the dispute, a region of no going o'connor box for a 2nd dice they call it has an anti terror campaign against the medium bag forces. local officials, a school is a dead or polluted ukraine, denies the report, the one if it's broke, it's went broke and here's a ukrainian mancha town early this morning. earlier this month, at least 15 people died in that box, correspond to test the lincoln's funds.
