the holy grail select from a village green revolution global. so listen to all kinds of problems. to fix your is up time. it's all the rest of those channels. we've got new videos every friday tried to plan. it's a the, i look over and there's a man wearing a sleeveless shirt and he's got a side shirt on over it and he rolls up his bod shirts, and he shows me his swastika and his s s folds. and he points out divided states in the usa, a culture war is raging as a trends, right? the destructive forces, how's nature can protect us from the

and invisible danger at pollution as an occupational hazards. the transgender writes are running topic of debates in the us. around 1600000 people in the country identify as trends. while many republican controlled states the settle them restricting trans rights, more liberal ones, such as minnesota, provide a safe haven for many. here trends, people find the legal and medical support that's often denied them elsewhere. minneapolis in the state of minnesota, in the us, the transgender people, people who don't identify with the sex they were assigned to birth are increasingly ponds in a bitter culture. war, many republic and run states across the us are passing empty trans laws. the

liberal state of minnesota meanwhile, has declared itself of legal refuge for transgender people. sam, ruler moved here precisely because of such a protective laws. she and other trans people here wants transgender rights to be enshrined in the minnesota constitution. guilty edwards is 14 and was able to start treatment before puberty. no one sees her as a boy. now. she's a passionate activist for trends, right? legislation is running across the country like buyers. and i feel like a lot of children feel like they have no power in this kind of kind of here today just to the trans you we're here because we're trans refugees in this new place and we have an obligation to make our voices heard a sam

roller fled to minnesota from the republican state of indiana, together with their partner, katy. she had to leave her beloved home. they see themselves as political refugees in their own country. sam roller feels safe here. no one stairs as she walks by. her family is run a farm in india and for 200 years, sam, herself was a farmer in a tight knit community until she came out as trends. her friends deserted her, she was laughed at even threatening. then one day while out shopping, a truck parked up in front of her. i look over and there's a man wearing a sleeveless shirt and he's got a applied shirt on over it and he rolls up his blood shirt and he shows me his swastika and his sports. and he points out that the message to me was not startled

that, you know, was the final stop, you know, we, we just refused to live in tier. we through our hands up and we said it's time to go in minnesota trends, people are also able to access the medical care. they need to easily say critics and too young to be edward streams of becoming an actress. she never felt like a boy at 5. she told her parents she was a girl. oh well i always knew i was kind of a girl. i mean, i was very like fun presenting it as a child. i used to wrap a blanket around my head and pretend it was my hair. but yeah, it was very early on. i was very like a very feminine just support her follow her lead. maybe she's trans and

maybe not. maybe she's just considering things, but it became pretty clear, but when she became very persistent, you know, i'm a girl. i am not your son. i'm your daughter to the edwards and her parents. talk to doctors early on and here in minnesota were given the support they needed. he'll, he was prescribed puberty blockers to prevent her voice from breaking and just stop her developing facial hair careful about for some time now. she's been taking female hormones. dr. angela get 3rd specializes in the treatment of trans children . many republicans criticize gender affirming health care for minors, citing the need to protect them. but angela gepford believes such criticism has a political motivation. louis miners, she says, own the receive reversible treatment is a common misconception that essential health care for transgender diversity this fast or quick or easy to obtain. and none of those things are true and there as

long waits to get in, which by the nature gives more waiting time for young people. and parents to think through decisions doesn't assessments and intake with a young person prior to making decisions like masculine eyes. and you're from amazing hormones that would have some long term impacts. and for some young people, they may pursue additional interventions beyond that, which may include surgical procedures. those are almost always done in adulthood. judy edwards wants to show your true self to the outside world. she's really that here in liberal, minnesota, she's allowed access to hormone treatment. so it's definitely feels good to just be like growing up like a normal child. and for people who don't, it's very like scary inside because they're gonna have to grow up without to see looking in the mirror and seeing themselves that is how life was for sam roller

in her republican home state of indiana. and the trends laws are institutionalizing hate. she says, and deepening the divide between democratic and republican state. you know, this division is real. you have one group that wants to fundamentally give dignity and life, and opportunities to people. and another group that wants to take it away. and as we entered this world, the very stark part as decisions. and i just pray that we find the way out of it. many americans like sam roller and her partner katie, are moving to where they feel best, ideologically, far from united to us is becoming ever more divided. the

floods of the world's most common natural disaster. they expecting no certainly coastal regions, but also river basins, uncombed to untold damage. but nature offers a solution rivers and suppose to look like this. today, many of them a straight, narrow, deep, depleted and surrounded by concrete. that's because you must have a long history of changing griffith enter landscapes, but it can use them for farming, industry, transportation, and to build houses close to the edge. this river here is a great example of how we have mess, but our landscapes as a can see it's been straightened, regulated, and died also pods. if it's flat planes on our side, which would usually provide space for over, for, and water has been drained and filled the rivers and suck lanes in this area. so it's an important function though, across the seed is a flap sake market back and guidance. and as opposed to storing so k water to one of the largest urban slept in forest and central europe. it is home to many animals and plants beach. but from the middle of the 19th century,

dance and bridges for railroads were billed to you right to the forest. and during that process, form over the course of the, in this area of a cut off, an outline drive. and all this means they can no longer supply water to deflect in forest, and that's not just happening here. around 2 thirds of the sub chains along germany 79 major rivers can no longer serve the original purpose of storing excess of water because of the dikes bitterest. the border from beating them once stood up. the remaining slept in areas are covered by fields and houses and it's happening across europe. we're 70 to 90. percent of luck plans have been environmental lead a great it is on the americans are also struggling with the pita truck plains. so why is that a problem? fluctuations are not only important ecosystems. they also absorb and store carbon from the athens via helping take a climate change. and maybe most importantly for the people who live along the rivers, they keep flat from check, forcing into holding the functioning floodplain far as it's a very important because they keep water in the landscape longer. they soak up

water and provide the crucial sponge function to get some food soon. that's not to . yes. so it's a flat plane ecologist. he's been studying the role of rivers and coastal wetlands for decades. then the kind of own now i'm kind of old that flood plains in floodplain far since water flows out of the landscape, very quickly leading to large flood waves that cause a lot of damage. and the cost is enormously high for society. so you can say soft in normal, that's why shots together with a seed is applied seconds, guidance. the university of flats and the environmental association novel decided to give the flux, the landscape here a more natural face again for fits. and what about assessments 40 years ago, we realized this floodplain far as it was undergoing a process of expansion license, many trees development here that were not flood resistance and which displaced the trees be. she's typical of a flood plain virus to edition paul mocking at the thing. okay, is like this one and elm trees like this one, does the die off what other specie is that a lot less people into flooding,

like maple sizes, spread, video hose, good. when the floodplain dries out along, come to maple trees, and here's a good example. scans of them is it seems that they have a white look. you sat, the other species, find it difficult to compete with them. you know, not even proficient us dot com. yeah. and then, and those are the species protect us against flooding, not can all, but do some members can see exactly because those species are highly resistant to flooding uh for the send to even keep the whole process. and. ready that's because those species can handle being fed better than others. they can also handle drives better, and they sec moisture out of the side, which decreases the amount of water contribution to flesh setting events. so the research has had an idea. they started purposefully flooding a small area of the forest every spring for decades and watched what happened. confess, tongue tongue, the sub deceptive i'm wanting a face to face. we found out that that allowed the forest to stay moist for up to 3 months longer. even during drug periods and that this flood plain forest was able

to adapt to these weather more dynamic conditions under the social species that don't belong here we seated living space and light for the tree and animal and plant species that are typical of the flood plain far all talking with your friends so i can even move. they literally train to for us to be able to soak up more water again than buying the offensive. fruit also has a sense even with flood resistant trees, if they don't experience flooding for a long time, they may forget how to cope with it or how to adapt to it in an come chart says the data they collected over 30 years tells the story of an ecosystem going back to its natural state. this was a 3 d model of a 7 have to forest area that they flooded. and so they'd for 3 decades. just look at how many red trees that were before they started flooding the area. those on typical, sometimes invasive species that are not so resilient to flats and drought. and now look how many green these came back once they thought of southern the area. those

are typical native slept injuries, what type of system to flats and drops to sink moment here, you can clearly see that the maple is dying of this area, husband under water for several weeks. and right next to it is the flood color into europe. and ash, for which looks very healthy. so have you tied all a seat? they were surprised by how fast the forest went back to its natural state. once you set it, adjusting the water levels are full instant us for us. these are nature based solutions, which will help mitigate the extreme events we expect from climate change up to move on. so how exactly the flat, the area which provides ended on the end of the 199, i use the city of leipzig began reconnecting old channels systems and the flood plain like this one here, the book own box to the main watercourses, so that the forest could access water again, on the no fly reconnected, the old historical channel systems that were still in place and this ditch was

partly restored by hand. and his stomach was we thought hawkins dead through the channel systems were connected. and then an intake structure was built in the dyke, which fed water back into the channels systems. we thought these are things that stay a highlighted. they then cut out several parts of the diag on the river side so that the water can naturally overflow into the flat plane in order to afford to buy them . and we're seeing a clear and measurable rise in ground water levels even within a very short space. of time and even with such a small water body, there were a visible, measurable results back then it was easy to get a permit for an undertaking like that. light is supposed to day, it's far more complicated. there are new guidelines you regulations, which have to be followed. more evidence is needed more calculations. it's not as simple as it used to be as mazda i've always online, but that didn't stop the cd from doing more. it brought together scientists and yellows and local officials in 2018 to come up with

a concept to rejuvenate the entire of something over the next 30 years. and they just finished a 1st project. they restored this to our group at here and design it in a way where can overflow more naturally regularly and predictably like it did in the past before we also drove us to ham human feet. as soon as you can see here, we've moved the field relatively far away from the edge of the far is from creating a large car. it will and which the voltage can be on the freely is all quite implies and off. that's cool. down a fullback was responsible for revitalizing this old was a bad, we hadn't even done and we have several outlets through which when the floods comes, the rising goes to can fly in cheap. i'm start, it flows over this very low bank, directly into the forest invitees. because this means that with the 5.5 kilometers of new will to way which we recently finished building. we can float around $45.00 hacked as a floodplain for us several times a year to invest, ma'am us and yet that's roughly the size of 80 for football fields. and that's also

good news for the animals who live here. fish and various species of insects have already settled in, but it was easy to get to this point. it's a tricky process to find the balance between flooding the forest enough and so it really are. and so just like i from a water and not over flooding it, otherwise the water could permanently stay there like in a bath tub, which would change and tire ecosystem. and you have to consider different interests unless you were in a big city. so there are many different views on how the forest should be used, and recreational use is particularly important that for you instead of we flooded certain areas and some paths become inaccessible in spring. as a result, we need to explain this and provide information or offer alternatives. so actually we found that there was a very high level of acceptance and that people often find very creative solutions . it's quite the same. i'm so happy right now. yeah,

right. because it really was years of talking to people every day, making sure that they weren't afraid of the voltage coming in a problem and here on this investment. and it's just wonderful to see that we now have water in this small river. despite that size, has a big impact upon nikosa, the cost of vehicle. i think it's not just people using deforest, recreational purposes. we needed to be convinced about the flooding plants local file must have to be on board as well. so if you can't expropriate people without offering alternatives, bringing more watering to the landscape doesn't mean giving up agricultural use. you just have to adapt the agricultural practices like turning once arable land into a wild meadow. and then of course has to be appropriately compensated. that means instead of planting corn and rapes eat on all of them from us, we can gras in some areas and sell the hands that they would also receive a compensation payment. so that's, that's the goal for the next 10 to 15 years is to revive less more than 16 kilometers for my arms along the river. do you want to reconnect drive that river

on an internet at least 30 percent of the fluff in area by the new river. so that instead of this, the area would look like this? and here they already started turning from a farmland into a fucked in forest. they found a species brazilian to flooding so that future floodwaters can be sucked up by the plants like a sponge that way. shots as they can also get more water to stay in the ground. of course, projects like this come with i have the price tag, the city of let's already spend $6500000.00 euros. not to be funded by the gym state to buyback land and build new bridges and good ways for crossing the newly restored river. us to talk a little while ago because in a k to require a great deal of effort to get this project approved here in the region and by the authorities so that the further steps can be taken to preserve the floodplain forest. and so that funding in the 10s of millions can be put in place. i said this new device, it sounds like a lot of flooding is actually the most expensive natural has it in europe with one

study estimating that the river based fluffed risk could increase 74 to 6800000000 jurors by the end of the century. most latch, you can see these assets you added on functions. these other ones that are predicted to suffer a lot of that damage in the future. and the changes we've made to most of our waterways adding to the fact risk, not detracting from it. that's why you environmental ministers recently approved the contests of nature. reservation law that seeks to recruit forest re what people end and what time drove us to the natural freestone states. most of the child's welcomes reminds each of us extreme, like yourself. when we consider the monetary damage that extreme events can cause to our society, and the long term effects required to address them, it's clear that putting money into ecosystem restoration is of future proof investment invest it's illusion. deep isn't so called to shop. that's why i'm one more european cities situated in fi plans, experimenting with nature based approaches like this. and the project in lights

like has become a blueprint fathers. charles has been cooperating was cutting some stone. yes, pain and fortune both to share knowledge and best practices. such as how to retain water in an area as long as possible. and as a lot of other countries can learn from that success, finding the item to move than anything, it's important to get the landowners and tenants. the farmers in the forest is on board. and to make decisions together with them on site and not just with planners at the drawing board waistcoat dundee, the tool, when nature functions properly and works for us. and we can benefit from all that it offers us, and that's an insurance policy for the future. the physician over 50 to cost the pollution is a sign in kilo almost the entire global population breeds uh the succeeds

w h show at quality limit evolution causes 6700000 from a to a debt. so yeah, and then the one of the most effective cities, women are organizing to bring much needed change. this is the post world landfill at about 20 to hit this. it's the 2nd largest dumpsite in this gap or to new delhi. more than 200000 people live alone, it's fair to meet us for the last 25 years came. i have lived and worked here as we speak, a pyramid comp is at the p. i used to go to work, then come home that send my child to school and do all the chose to go to excel. but for the boss here, my house hasn't been good. so piece. so i stopped going to walk as often as we are used to a 2025 days a month. but now i will close and put out the cut. i will know what estimate with them. i make out about the big for people who live this close to the line. so even the ad debrief is toxic in

a city that has some of the most polluted ad in the woods, improper waste, dispos that makes things much worse. table is bought of a group of fuck the women who have been learning about this issue. and the reasons for the has problems they're planning to reach out to the thousands of other women who do similar work. the group meets regularly with local rep as natives and conducts public hearings on social medical and environmental issues. i think this is extremely important to have this kind of community level engagement because typically what happens is that, you know, people are not at the end of the lease, they are unwillingly. it's bush to high level of air pollution, heat, both outdoor indoor. so the 1st step definitely is that uh, you know, feeding awareness among them. and, you know, some of these, our nets programs i am aware of are also providing some individual level, you know, a strategy to really add up to the situations. so people are more of it of the need

for the strategies then looks on a she grew up in a family of base because it has forced hot expedients of the health problems. these by the women. things that are such as also seen in medical tests that in these b, if this is it says the bottom very function test, we found that this big of a main road about 3.6 times more likely to have a voice in lung conditions and stuff like um, chinese was 6 times likely to have worse and long functions as compared to men. and because they're cooking indoors and the cooking on bio bio mass fluids or 2 we highs is equal. it looks on and the theme audits into an environment of action and research group have set up a quality monitoring devices across the neighborhood. this has local them and land . they walk and daily activities they avoid working in the waste of rent. the monitor flashes red and fig precautions like reading box,

even outside of book. back at home, the women have taken steps to cook with less than you think fewer jessica or this up to let the women here use bio mass jobs. but then be heard about a government program to provide for you guys to lenders. we looked into how to access the scheme of part of the v head that they used to do to 35 people in the colony obtained surrender. this gas bill idea in 2022, the wood air quality to for designed debbie ford and a list of the boards 50 most when you did cities, all the air pollution affects everyone walker in the informal sector. so for the most major in perspective, projects and construction sites rely on no big workers who have little to no protection for pollution on the job. this homes that also near the construction site, so they get little respite from the pollution. that's a good little pouring cement, always created a lot of dust under the effect of them, went into

a mountain like that. we had no choice to live on the, the construction sector, workers here and also organizing and retraining to work and see for jobs. many large, depart in an introductory book shop run by and n g, or to learn how to use the proper safety equipment. she says it made a difference. we will pick a not better the model but i took part in this training for 15 days on august 21st and foremost what safety equipment i need to protect my help is the recording of my goal on any with the efforts of women like fema looks odd and many may be a drop in the ocean with the hope that over time the will help raise awareness and promote better working conditions for, for informally walkers, in debbie looking for more insights and solutions from around the world. if he wants to meet the people fighting climate, change the test on facebook, instagram and 6 ok the
