And why big change occurs when the power is in the hands of the people im suddenly coming to you from mumbai in india more and more googling gets im moving out the religious and moving into cities sustaining life on agriculture is becoming difficult with every passing day especially if you live in the hotshot egypt of eastern but remember what Mahatma Gandhi said the soul of india lies in its religious and in order to transform india its important to transform the villages and local collectable farmers from 15 villages in the region is trying to bring this part to life by empowering the farmers to solve their problems head on. If. This is the district ill be in the monarch about artesian off maharashtra its known to most as one of the vostro depicted region. In india battling a bit email water crisis as well as struggling with the highest number of farmers who cite. The order administratively jhon off by early is the most affected but the lowest irrigation rates in the country the average in a gated area in india is 40 percent violent early its a mere 1. 72 percent its almost impossible to make a living from agriculture many people here are dispirited and in desperation turn to alcohol. But this was bali situation about 3 years ago today the global pollie initiative put 15 villages in its forward has managed to agree to eat its story. The year. But its only when they are on that idea was the brainchild of my own garden the founder of the initiator was supported by the strength and willpower of all the members of the 15 villages with a collective population of more than 30000. For. The last 3 years have witnessed a revival of 70 kilometers off the river that flows through the region the building of bonn 62 farm ponds 52 check dams and watershed structures all in a bid to ensure that not one drop of water in the region goes to waste. But i thought a Board Meeting was not just my own gandhi but the villagers we had a very. We collected 4 lakhs and we did it without forcing anyone to contribute whatever they could before we collected villagers contributed to starting with 10 rupees and some even gave in 1000 there was not a single house that did not contribute even if their regular nets where living in the city and not residing in the village this is how we broaden and deepen the power nasheed river that flows through our little slice and it is according. To. The villagers willingly contributed to become active participants as a last 8 who live in the development of their villages. There are 3 basic reason why we took this 15 villages one is we wanted to create more models we thought that if we were able to take more religious then we can make more models and that can be a model for replication dog and they used to say that religion should be selfsufficient so one village cannot be selfsufficient so which is why we took 15 with us and when i went to the villages i realised that villages are like multiple organ failure if you are going to hardly were pulled out of where you work all along the way so if you want to really have an impact. Then your daughter got all the body parts at the same di. Leet youre. Keeping in mind the severity of the legion one of the primary cause of the global bodily initiator was to create other opportunities to make a living. Only on agriculture and farming when also bringing in extra income into their pockets during a good year of harvest. I made the us start when i started to make that sacrifice my family members were concerned i asked them if i could continue to do this in addition to my daily phone book they said ok so i took time out to do this i now make the chutneys in the morning or evening that i going to the farm at 10 am and come back at 6 30 pm now i do it as an event i find time to time the sounds of it and goes on about. 6. Religion looks forward to these sessions every day with fellow members of a set of tell to today they are making ground not. Acting like. These are then marketed by global coley amongst friends families and corporate houses in neighboring cities. Due to orders a man can fetch them an additional 3000. 00 rupees which is about 38. 00 euros. While the men are also struggling the women are struggling back much more to go there to look after the family so if you give them a source of income i think it helps that family. And most importantly the woman like some saving to get that for the children for the education for the family so and boating woman has got to be the most important thing. Is a. Development of these villages have played a profound draw in this transformational journey and depression and alcoholism has taken over the region in what seemed like an. Today not to one of the hundreds of eco shops across these 15 villages off but only remain. Trauma region making headlines for the largest number of families who sides and a climate of utter doom only is to be seen as a role model in selfsufficiency and selfreliance. A local one of the. Global marley has are going to evolve and change in the mindset of the people here there really is was he needed to go over there for instance a site about her legal store somewhere below what they were doing at the party and i thought once this was done about you know you now do want i will work yes im quite a. Lot of republicans coming climb any comments or community with. Me ill go to that about who i was going to go to. In. What. I would. Have there been a lot of reality based on politics based on caste based on religion and now we see each other as human beings we dont care if he has land on what religion he belongs to that we none of these discriminations exist and we live in that in harmony and because of that we can now see social and cultural progress you know when it up. You know. When you dont think of a 1000000 im going to have about in a moment a problem with me. Often you only need one person to take the initiative and help more and more people understand the big have to come forward and stand up together to bring about lasting change this is how movements and mindsets changed. Just over a year ago demonstrated alone in front of the Swedish Parliament she wasnt alone today her protest movement to stop Climate Change is called fridays for a future and has gone global its an impassioned call to politicians to strive for a carbon free future. And thats something thats only possible with Renewable Energies the swiss adventurer and visionary showed the enormous potential energy by making the impossible possible. Currently only powered by kerosene which destroys the environment wanted to change that. Powered soley by the sun by 2016 his 2nd navigated it. To the people thats what indian scientists and activists.

Of 4 to walk just in germany has sparked off an Inspiring Movement to fight rampant plastic pollution around the world 322000000. 00 tons of plastic is produced and consumed every year of this 12000000. 00 is in germany and steven whorf is trying to bring people together. Hes getting closer to his goal Stephanie Halasz has been passed. In for 4 weeks now from the western german city of cortland from the rhine to the capital berlin in the northeast of the country. The. Greatest thing on this was a trip of 750 kilometers it was to come up against your limits when you think youll never make it then you get a 2nd wind and then you do it this is not my stuff but. Germanys rivers look so clean but 7 years ago stefan started collecting garbage on his kayaking towards. Going over to mist as thats precisely the problem. In rivers in asia you see it immediately because theres so much of. The fault here its not so visible because youve got some over here and some over there so we have to hunt it down. But after 6 kilometers weve typically collected 500 kilograms. He started out doing the collecting on his own hed make an arrangement of the garbage from the rivers photograph it and put it on display its the photo designers way of making the invisible waste plain for all to see. On 40 of them are i took a photograph that shows a kayaker from above paddling on garbage this is the average amount of garbage from one kilometer of river in germany and not in asia and we have to work to reduce that because germany has a lot of kilometers of rivers trying to reach the feet of whos going to meet up. In total around 7300 kilometers and staff and horses only travelled a fraction of them so far. Alongside exhibitions he also organizes regular cleanup events 7 cities are taking part in this one like oberhausen on a tributary of the rhine. You have to look closely i pull out pieces of plastic all over the place they look just like the stones my boats already full up. Hes joined by new volunteers at every new stretch. Youre trying wasnt here ram 60 cleena opposite on the water and the river bank. Their life just because i think it makes total sense to not just collect waste from the rivers but also from the landscape around them. And they eyes. I think its important to realize that this is not just happening in the caribbean or wherever be aware that it starts here with us im saying that. After just 2 hours theyve gathered around 2000 liters of garbage last year steffen horse and other kayak has lifted around 30000 liters of garbage from the water you met up with congo. 4 years ago he did a tour on the rhine from southwest in germany all the way to the north sea. Its and theres a lot of that weve been a Nonprofit Organization since 2016 after our tour back then it was like an avalanche so many people got in touch send emails asking where they could help out. With your pattern i couldnt handle it all on my own. Thank goodness im no longer a lone warrior its more and more people are joining im really happy about you know what mr. Stephanie halasz needs as many fellow Campaign Ends as he can get because theres plenty of work to do. But hes happy to have come this much closer to his goal of clean water waves. Job in nonprofit Building Group is doing something unique for business professionals to travel to Eastern European countries like the bill who is for the socially disadvantaged lets take a look at how this is bringing people together from different realities to work for the common good.

Gordon voice to from the german Nonprofit Organization build and grow it explains that the builders are actually business professionals who are working to help poor families here.

Voice to is 26 years old and works as a Business Consultant for an International Company over the past year hes already built one house together with his colleagues animal dove and construction company.

Of the way we build. Approximately we make the homes at least 75 percent more efficient at home building. Initiatives and also protect our environment code words and even the of the even though less import from other countries. Most housing blocks in moldova were built during soviet times the insulation is poor or in some cases nonexistent in the winter time the heating costs eat up about a 3rd of a normal income those who manage to put a little money aside retrofit insulation to their apartments. But the most stuff a family cant afford it they have 2 children their son adriaan is severely disabled and requires around the clock parental care. Now the most of us will be moving into the new house thats currently being assembled by the business professionals their tiny apartment isnt really suited to a disabled persons needs. But the most of us wont only have a new home alexandru who is an artist and designer will have a new job too hell be working as a consultant for unical walls the most important Building Material for unica walls houses is timber each panel consists of a wooden frame which is then filled with polystyrene sheets its a plastic but its unbeatable in terms of weight and density the panels are sealed with the fireproof and waterproof sheeting.

So its been such a wonderful day i feel great really great some of the team want to take part in the next House Building project to make another family happy the. Now in love that indias law the most region and engineer is bringing the local Community Together as part of a fascinating project to store water from the melting p. C. s in a man needs to ice most villages here facing a huge shortage of 4 during the early summer months of april and may the ice to power project is not only ensuring that the community has enough Potable Water but is also making sure that the geared up to back to Climate Change. This is not a remnant of a melted glacier its an artificial Water Reservoir the shape of which is reminiscent of a buddhist sanctuary a stupa made of ice the idea was conceived by sun on one chilcot an engineer from the duck in northwestern india is our ships which have minimal surface area for the while you so the sun cannot melt it as quickly as it does or does until a flat ice and therefore it melts slowly as the summer approaches and as it melts it gives its water to the farmers. Ledecky is famous for the worlds highest altitude cold desert in a region which gets only between 50 to 100 millimeters of rainfall annually the glaciers have been a life source for ages. They provide water for the cities. And for the farmers as well. But due to Climate Change almost 20 percent of the glaciers in the area have been lost in the last 50 years. Although the glaciers melt during summer time there is still water scarcity during certain months. What many people dont understand for farmers the challenge of water is only in the springtime if theyre in me which is when they need water and which is when the glaciers are still not warm enough there so they dont melt. A wooden scaffold serves as a skeleton for the ice stupa in winter scarce melt water from the mountains is transported in underground pipes to lower regions. Due to the difference in pressure it shoots up all by itself. And the minus 3 in the air will extract the heat in the water and then it falls down and freezes in the shape of a form and the beauty is that you dont need machines are pumps or electricity or fuels or pollution none of that its all gravity simple pipes its summer now this stupa is 5 months old built by the inhabitants of a nearby village originally it held over 15000000 liters of water. About 50000 liters of milk daily. With the water flowing from the i stoop on the village in the valley has enough water available for the timely irrigation of the fields. Son im one choke is cofounder of the students educational and Cultural Movement 2nd. Because the young people will one day have a say in the fate of the region they need to know how the stupas help the farmers. And however in the long run artificial glaciers are only a makeshift solution. I stupors are not just. Method of making water but it is also a message from the Mountain People to the people in big cities of the world it is equally important that you in the big cities do everything to mitigate Climate Change and change your lifestyle so my message is that please live simply in the big cities of the world so that we in the mountains can simply live there are now about 25 i stupors in the region to create them it needed just a leap of the imagination whats needed now is change on a global scale. A Global Vision to tackle Climate Change is truly a bunda for last 30 should and it would be impossible if people came together in whatever capacity they can to make this happen i hope to be as episode has inspired you to join the cause that soon well be back next week with yet another apocryphal king show until then good bye.
