More than 100000 joined marches as the daily rallies and their 6 week the protesters want the authoritarian leader Alexander Lukashenko to step down. A new tent city has opened on the greek island of last boss the replacement accommodation is meant to house migrants left homeless after fires destroyed the natori is morea refugee camp but most of those displaced say conditions on the island are unbearable and that they just want to leave. This is news from berlin follow us on twitter and instagram at the news or visit our website thats dot com. Oh. Not every neighborhood in the city of mumbai. Has plenty of trees and plots not by chance but by design. A few individuals championed the need for green spaces here and as a community. This week how can communities come together to say that thats what we talk about. Now in this problem with effectively disposing. In fact. These have been conducted to try and solve it local governments in many cases best practices for communities to adopt so that can be segregated and. A neighborhood. On the outskirts of delhi had a better idea than what was suggested by. Their breaking move when it comes to Community Waste management. Surrounded by sprawling villages and communities one of the 108 acre property. Country in. The complex is home to 900 independent bungalows and gardens but things have not always been rosy. And. The fact that living in the beautiful he. Still was. Indifferent. I. Would give us. A 20 minute drive from nirvana country is one of the regions biggest land fields a large part of india as we used ends up and dump sites like this one they often catch fire sending deathly plumes into the air and the toxic liquid from the unfiltered rotting waste seeps deep into the ground. Monica cannot be allowed to refuse to accept the poor air quality around her community or the poor Waste Management system she began to think about her role in this and wondered how she could play her part in correcting the course of things. Her citizens want to drink committee 1st approached the Municipal Corporation of course looking for a solution at the time the corporation was flooded with options from vendors selling instant compositors machines that promise to turn organic waste into compost within 24 hours but after a few experiments they were dissatisfied with their results. Since the common 24 compositors want exactly working group came up with their own simple system of Community Composting after Much Research the finally decided to use the drum and been method where every household contributes by 1st segregating their waste at source. Then there is a 2nd be segregation that happens because sometimes by mistake their residence in something which cannot go into the shadow for example sometimes their pieces of plastic and maybe a broken bottle is there so this sift through it and then this we used is put in the shed. The resulting mass is mixed in a drum with horticultural waste and. Bio enzyme so you get your nitrogen from the kitchen we use to get your carbon from the dry leaves and the bio and same boats like the excellent heater. The drums of rotated 5 times a day for your ration and to prevent them from smelling finally they are lined with dried leaves and a semi come pasta and left to mature for one and a half months. So this is what has been harvested from the metal bins after the have removed it over a period of one and a half months and now once its here sifted it sifted through for mangoes see then a little bit of plastic that sometimes left you then its just left to mature for another week or so and then it becomes a beautiful come become both that you have seen. A lot she believes change needs to start at home to help get other local residents on board her group holds orientation and Public Awareness sessions for votes residents and domestic helpers along with volunteer home visits from the little gobbets kili that was story the key but im not home go the hasegawa takes a signal you would so we ask and i was going nowhere come out and ill not say so i do good and then it magically begins i havent laid you dont put away any plastic into the goody in ways nobody knew it didnt do that so its only going to stand when its not much of a problem oh so what i feel the nirvana Community Say is that in the past 4 years they have processed the highest amount of waste of any community in google weve generated close to 250 tons of compost which has been used in a lawn sold to the residents and sold or to people from outside whether wishes to buy it its available and. And also which means that the driveway is thats going out close to about 700. 00 tons has been clean and has been able to go into. The recycling stream. The experience of monica community and that of other municipalities in india separating waste at source is a key starting point as well as citizens making collectively informed decisions about dealing with their own waste. Rethinking and read designing cities its going to be an enormous task. How do you be possible to keep the cities of the future clean for example. C trash is a dirty smelly nuisance but were just has a huge potential recycling by turning all into the new can make way for a sustainable so you know economy the netherlands seems to be moving the way for this. Using Natural Resources at a very fast pace some are finite others renewable but nature cant keep up with us. We also generate vast amounts of Greenhouse Gases cities account for 70 percent of them the dutch capital amsterdam is aiming to create a circular economy by 2050 that involves containing the use of new roll materials avoiding waste and reusing as much as possible by slashing emissions. The City Sanitation Department fishes 42. 00 tons of floating plastic trash out of the canals every year a lot more probably gets through. We never got around to ferrets of all the plastic in the ocean actually traveled by reverse there are quite some trash you see on the street or that this is there and in this rivers and then of course the rivers flow to work to see you so its one of the kind of transport and Magnus Magnusson to push and thats why we would really like to stop it there a memory. The lanes is behind us start up the great bubble barrier and its Ineffective Technology heres how it works a chub is laid across the bed of the waterway there is pumped out of holes along it the bubbles drive trash in the water to the surface towards the bank and into a receptacle. Tests have shown that on average 86 percent of trash in the water can be collected in this way. The garbage that ends up in the container is removed 3 times a week. For now only one bubble barrier has been installed in amsterdam its a Pilot Project but the potential both in the city and world white is enormous. You have multiple factors that have interest in this for example you can imagine the companies that have a benefit of tourists coming by they want beaches that are clean maryland riverside that are clean they want to have terraces very and fit all nicely and on the moment you install such such a system you can you can make its going to make sure that looks nice to visit again the firm has received Financial Support from the government its also working on ways to recycle all the collected trash. Cities also generate lots of waste water as unlikely as it might seem the water flushed down our toilets contains valuable resources that could be retrieved. Scientists in the netherlands have developed a new waste Water Purification system to do just that. One of the end products is a gun they call cow mera which has many up locations as a glue or binding agent in the manufacturing and construction industries. But if you want to have a circular society or an insurance that should go all the way strange and waste water is a very important way strange and that. One day so what happens if you are judged by a gas whether its but by gas relatively low failure application and i producing this got me i just dont know we can use this before i show you applications show what you want to do in d. N. C. Bunch of pictures i show you Building Material sort of using wastewater flowcharts. Standard industrial plants are made from oil which is not good for the environment. In the new process bacteria purify the waste water. Comair is a side benefit a single plant can produce up to 800. 00 tons of ice a year. And this research is a working on new bio degradable materials. They mix cow marrow with recycled toilet paper and various combinations of peach pits and almonds and pistachios shells. So far theyve made great signs undeveloped architectural cleansing material made out of 80 percent organic materials. More r. And d. Is needed before this new composite based on cow merit and toilet paper can come to market the prospects look good. For instance tropical hardwoods thats beatable by this material and also aluminum and now the minister huge markets with aluminum has a very very high c o 2 footprint and a good thing of this material if you can beat its all mechanical properties and also you have 2 properties you beat it and you were sort of the prize will be the challenge and i think the coming to new years we will try to replace aluminum body discovered near accomplished that material. Recycling and up cycling organic waste and construction waste could be a money spent and would certainly be good for the environment. Spent known as a great place for emissions for recycling for decades its still a long. Way from achieving a circular economy. The plan is to make that happen by 2050 and ambitious goal for a city to time and to be a pioneer. For the last 15 years an organization in the desert of the largest part has been planting at least one tree every day if somebody this is not possible they plan to have trees the next mobilizing a community to restore the trees to the added region is not the only and it also extends to securing its peoples future and making them climate resilient. The women and children of lumber village in the state of judges time out by the lake this morning. With all of one of the floating lotus flowers have disappeared and theyve thought of an ingenious way to disperse seeds in the water. If theyre finding a doctor she says we can go in because its too deep on and i was so we thought wed make small balls of money with a lot to seed in each and hope they will germinate far out in the early. Next year next year it would be full of lotus flowers it would look beautiful and would also be great for the environment. Thats. The local and so in our volunteers with a local ngo name she called through suns town. Its young volunteers come together to help green their village and plant saplings countless trees have been cut down as the dijon has developed. The organization was founded by environmental activist vishnu lumber. He planted his 1st sapling when he was 11 and he now spends all his time growing saplings and distributing them across the region. Lumber village has adopted his philosophy and several activities revolve around the love and respect for trees. Today is how the early among us here and i knew in the festival. A procession winds its way through the village to a bow bob tree that stands beside the temple. Of god is believed to reside within it and to grant wishes anything from good health to financial gain. For those who never got a sickly says to this gathering the desert dense of the village sure that commitment to conserving and nurturing mother earth but the sacred tree is more than a plant it is a Guiding Force for us but i got somebody one of our. Trainees are also important for the women of lumber. They have restarted to make plates from the leaves of banyan trees. And sell them to nearby villages where. This is a Traditional Craft that has been neglected for some time with the women say that this is help them economically during the pandemic which has halted some of the other work. While. Other volunteers spent time weeding and clearing the village of invasive plants. They also replant needed species that are important for the ecosystem and have medicine in value yet they hope this will help build immunity at this time of danger. People here say their village is greener than others nearby and that they want to keep it that week. You know the one guy like i have a very big aim in life i want to try to transform 100 villages into environmentally friendly smart villages and to plant 50000000 trees in my lifetime ive been through all of this will get a lot of your. Lumber village is an example of an anti a community really adopting a green way of life. In tune with the way their parents and grandparents once lived. The wind who was a few little they pride themselves for their practice of organic farming the Canary Islands with its the landscape she. Provides exceptional conditions. And the venue me cultivation practice. Even. This is the wine producing region on the island of land so water vines grow in 3 metre deep craters designed to protect the plants from harsh winds wind grower pedro limits and his family have been farming in this land for 3 generations the grape harvest is done entirely by hand the volcanic ash plays a vital role in nursing the plants. Whats important for the harvest is that the volcanic earth mixture stores the humidity of the rain for the entire year. Thats why the vines grow so well and are so fresh. Fields used to cover this land until a major volcanic eruption hit the island in 1730 lava spewed for over 6 years destroying the agriculture later it was discovered that the earth here was full of minerals conducive to growing grapes. Ignacio remeron is a qualified biologist for him preserving the traditional methods of farming is the main priority. People have lost most of their land and so what they had to do was to continue surviving and this difficult terrain thats why they started to dig holes knowing that underneath. So they planted the blinds in these holes and it turned out to be. And thats in a place where it hardly rains the ash storage 150. 00 millimeters of annual rainfall into service. Each creator can produce up to 20 kilos of grapes or 20 bottles of wine the vines here are all organic some 100 of the 1000 wine growers on the island have abandoned chemical pesticides and instead of focusing on Ecological Methods to protect their crops paige ole miss is one of the farmers who receives advice from her marrow on organic farming methods the biologist explains why lime plays an important role. One of a serving here is line which in traditional organic agriculture is used to combat caution ale and sex symbol it has traditionally always been used but when people began using chemicals as a pesticide that tradition was largely forgotten. This is organic because what i use is a line i wasnt getting any results with chemical fertilizer it just didnt work at all so i went back to sulphur which is what my grandparents used. To enjoy the temperate climate all year round the annual wine harvest here begins at the end of july taking place much earlier than elsewhere in europe farmers offload their graves to the local wine cellars which in turn produce about 3000000. 00 bottles per year alone number by Industrial Production standards around 75 percent of the wine stems from the mouth of a c. A grape and its sold across the Canary Islands the red and white wines are made for immediate consumption. I mean that the wine from lanzarote is unique in an outstanding way it comes from a very harsh climate with a lot of wind a lot of dryness a lot of heat and so the vines absorb a lot of intense tropical mineral aromas you know which we then also find and the wine. 250 years of wine making in an unlikely environment. But the traditional method used on line to row to has proven that it can stand the test of time. The disruption caused by the fact. That we conduct the op is looking into what we can draw from we went to. Make sure the urgency of Climate Change and make the wizard to think about its consequences. Fumi earth beneath your feet thats literally part of the experience at the down to earth exhibition at the march in gropius bal gallery in berlin its art you can touch. A real puddle scooped from a berlin street with antarctica on the wall behind some of the very 1st underwater photographs the focus is on the earth and climate and without bright gallery lighting. And the clock says this photo is completely new is that were not using electricity the light is simply the light that comes through the window were not showing any films there are no loud speakers for a few weeks with this project were changing the entire system under which the art world normally functions we didnt go anywhere by playing everything were using were using in a sustainable way. This was before this from bend over and is one of the curators of the show hes an author and man of the theater and director of the berlin effect that puts on arts events including this one. The project explores nature in all its variety as well as threats to nature and the role we humans play in that process of destruction. As the tradition born in me said museum in madrid theres a temporary exhibition that tackles pressing questions about how human activity is affecting nature especially the oceans. Its almost going. To war and through that lens d you can. Start thinking about what are the main thing i see any space in you can think about just pieces you can feel like theyre wearing the sound were listening now thats the way. The exhibition by joan jonas is called moving off the land to the Permanent Collection also contains paintings from the 19th century that can be seen as a critique of the destruction of nature. Our has never been silent and artists have always been nouns through their warps situation of Premium Sound so sale in the us and all these kind of problems a long tradition of environmental thinking in art is on display here moving off the man and also explores the way phenomena are interconnected across the globe Climate Change is very much connected with being a muslim tribes with Indigenous People but also weve of the fishing weve never to be in india because in the end its all part of the for very basis. At the show in berlin visitors can ta
