Living off the grid is an evolving lifestyle that reduces an individual’s environmental impact and saves money by eliminating utility bills. It also offers a sense of mental and physical independence and the satisfaction that one’s own efforts are benefiting the environment. Now let’s look at some examples of off-the-grid living. In the 1970s US architect Mr. Michael Reynolds designed an off-the-grid house called Earthship. Since then, Earthship has become well-known and is being built around the globe.

On today’s program, Ms. Higgins explains why additional laws need to be enacted to address the urgent issue of climate change. Ms. Higgins has a special message for governments and corporations. We each carry a duty of care for ourselves, for our families, for our communities, but also, we do actually have a duty of care, a moral duty of care that extends to our Earth. Our Earth is ultimately our universal home. And that moral duty of care can be translated into law. Scientists have concluded that raising livestock is one of the most significant contributors to global warming.

Governments, especially the leaders of the Government, the prime ministers or the presidents should really speak out and add their face to the cause of climate change. And They should speak up and stand up for climate change, which by definition is an international issue; it’s a global issue, international issue. And you have to plant trees and protect the tropical rainforest, protect the mangroves; plant more mangroves. They all suck the CO2 out of the atmosphere. Meat from animals is one of the major factors which causes global warming and climate change, etcetera. For the individual citizens, just be vegetarian (vegan), then everything else will become clear and the planet will be saved. That is the most effective and fastest way to save our planet.

On today’s program, we’ll hear from Dr. Peter Carter, a physician and highly respected climate change expert and speaker. I call climate change “the crime of all time.” It’s hurting everything. It’s hurting people everywhere. Climate change is not a thing in the future anymore, It’s here right now. it’s harming and killing and dispossessing people all over the world. The best one to improve their health and the health of the planet and allow the planet to survive and future generations have a future, the most rapidly acting one would be to change your diet and go on to a vegan diet.

In 2013 the sisters Melati and Isabel Wijsen, aged 12 and 10, started the Bye Bye Plastic Bags movement to minimize plastic waste on Bali and around the world. After gathering volunteer teams from schools all over the island, they started signature petitions, offered educational presentations at schools, met with people at markets and festivals, and organized beach clean-ups to raise awareness, and distributed reusable bags. This is our vision. We want Bali to be a free-of-plastic-bags island. We can do it, definitely. Yes!

Many eco-conscious people choose to live in tiny houses. They require fewer materials to build than traditional houses and so are highly economical. They also use less energy to run, require fewer resources to maintain, and help minimize household clutter, which in turn reduces the time needed for cleaning and organizing. Therefore, tiny homes offer owners more time and freedom to relax, travel, or partake in other beneficial activities. What’s more, some tiny houses are small and light enough to tow, having wheels rather than foundations, and others can float.

There are a lot of people who say, “I’d love to try that, too.” It’s not as difficult as it looks. You have to start the whole thing slowly and with a sense of what is appropriate. We also do small courses here. That is, everyone who is interested is invited at any time and can learn how to grow vegetables efficiently here. To extend the season for growing vegetables, Mr. Butolen has constructed a homemade greenhouse.

The greatest challenge for an organic farmer is always the climate. We live here in a cold temperate climate. But has changed a lot in the last 20 years and it comes again and again to bigger dry periods and then to strong rain again. It’s not as it was 20 years ago. You have to cope with it. You have to make sure that you select your plants correctly and choose what you grow correctly. The second big challenge is of course that we have no plant growth in winter. But the customers also want to be supplied in winter. This means that you always have to make sure you have good storage facilities and a sufficient variety even in winter.

Due to global warming and climate change, the water level gets too high or too low in the habitat, so the White Cranes can’t find enough eelgrass to eat. Then they move out of their habitat center to look for food, causing conflict between humans and the cranes. This might be the reason their appearance has been newly recorded in the last two years in Japan, Taiwan (Formosa), and Hong Kong. In Spring, the cranes start to fly to the north, leaving Poyang Lake as their winter habitat and flying for 2,000 km towards the northeast to Momege Nature Reserve in Jilin Province of Northeast China.

When I look back at this story again today, I realize it's not just about the little crane's amazing journey, but about mine as well. It was a turning point in my life. Because of this little crane, I had the chance to see through his eyes. I went to his habitat, the place to spend the winter, and the place where he was born. I visited Siberia, Poyang Lake, and Momoge. I learned about the harsh environment of his habitat. It's very difficult.

The little crane is really intelligent. When I met him at the farm, he stood on the ridge and called "jiu jiu-jiu," "jiu jiu-jiu." One "Jiu" and then two more. He would call like that. How strange! He's very intelligent and sensitive. When the lotus flowers are blossoming, there are many tourists. The little crane wanted to peck at people all the time. But when I went to him and scolded him, he did somewhere else. It's true. This little crane is like a person and understands people.

The migratory birds begin to fly to the south, looking for a warm habitat. This is the first Siberian crane to visit Taiwan(Formosa). Mr. Zheng Jun-Huang, a kind-hearted farmer who grows vegetables without using pesticides. Therefore, Mr. Huang’s farm has become the favorite dwelling place of the little crane. “Hero” plans to grow Mr. Huang’s Xionghe Rice through contract production, hoping to bring more good responses, attract. In the future, using no fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides. So, you can see that the little crane is flying freely here.

Mr.Wu began farming organically when he was only 20 years old because he believed that it was the way to a sustainable environment. Approximately 30 years ago, he created Bi Lo Cun Organic Farm. Today, Bi Lo Cun Organic Farm supplies over 500 shops. Over the years the farm has also helped the indigenous people of Taiwan(Formosa) to regain their farming skills, creating hope that future generations of the indigenous people can return to their origins. Today he will share some farming tips, that is a very natural way of farming.

Plastic is very inexpensive, easy to produce, light, and can be used in an incredible amount of ways. However, with all these benefits, there are enormous costs. About half of all plastic is used just one time and then discarded. Our beautiful seas are now an immense rubbish bin that no one empties. To degrade and the pervasive plastic shopping bag can take 10 to 1000 years to decompose. Many brilliant individuals, organizations, and companies around the world care deeply about this issue and are working to take a portion of the unending flow of plastic waste and give it new life.

We take a close look at the organic vegan farming methods and techniques utilized by Leo Sanchez in his veganic farm, to ensure that he produces to ensure that he produces a variety of high-quality, nutrient-rich, chemical-free and healthy while maximizing available organic vegan products, natural resources, combating climate change, maintaining the health of the environment, and preserving the natural vitality of the soil. The efficient and effective use of available resources is an important principle in organic farming, as explained by Leo Sanchez.

An organic farm is using non-conventional practices, having multiple crops, that aren’t exactly one variety. We basically encompass everything that is organic agriculture. So, we apply organic practices. We make sure that our land is suitable for organic production, but we do not use any animal byproducts, so no animal fertilizers, no fish emulsion, no cow meal, no feather meal, no herbicides or pesticides, it’s being in complete compliance with nature. Rather than harming nature, we try to find a symbiotic relationship with nature, working with the environment around us, rather than degrading it.

Today’s show will explore how airlines are moving towards using more sustainable catering products and highlight the landmark event of airline not utilizing any single-use plastics onboard a flight. Currently, we produce more than 300 million metric tons of plastic waste every year, which equals the weight of almost the entire human population. Not only do we have plastic pollution in our oceans, we even create plastic waste in the sky! Fortunately, more and more airlines are taking steps to stop the snowballing plastic waste pollution.

Algae are among the most important organisms on Earth as they produce 50% to 85% of the planet's oxygen. Trees perform this function as well, but because our beautiful world is made up of much more water than land, aquatic plants such as algae produce most of the global oxygen supply, a vital life source for all beings. Microalgae, more commonly known as phytoplankton, are found in both the benthic (sea floor) and littoral zones of oceans and rivers. As photosynthetic organisms, these plants play key roles in the ecosystems of oceans and are the basis of the marine food chain.

According to scientists, livestock raising is responsible for approximately 51% of all greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, many scientists recommend adoption of a vegan diet as the most efficient and effective way to reduce such emissions. We need to balance how we produce, how we consume, and meat is one of the factors in the emission of greenhouse gases. And I think one of the most important aspects of being vegan is you’re going to try to save the world. Vegan is a way of life.
