The Better India 
Climate Change is real. But what can we really do about it?
Simple answer: You can start by educating yourself and others around you!
The heatwave in India 2024 has pushed northern India’s temperatures past 50°C, shattering records and intensifying the country’s environment problems. Alongside the extreme heat, environmental degradation in India poses severe health risks from air pollution, water contamination, and waste issues.
But what how can we solve these huge problems?
This episode of The Better India Show focuses on innovative solutions to climate change and environmental degradation in India. We talk to three green innovators who are implementing sustainable practices, such as aquaponics and biofuel production, to combat air pollution and climate change.
Our conversation emphasizes practical steps individuals and communities can take to create a healthier, more sustainable future.

About The Author
No one seems to be looking in the right direction because of Global warming. If the educators think deeper into the mining, extraction, earth removal of what it takes to find all minerals the earth provides, you'll see the earth's crust is getting thinner. With the earth's core heat 9000-Degree Fahrenheit, and with a thinner earth's crust, heat is rising, and changing temperatures, causing flooding, hurricanes, and server thunderstorms! Melting our Artic ice and snowy mountain tops. Infrastructures around the globe needs these minerals to build, but as industries keep removing dirt from the earth's crust, the crust is getting thinner, and our weather conditions get hotter! If each country can think how much earth removal it takes to dig up the minerals, we'll find these temperatures have index heat closer to the earth's mantle. When will civilization open their eye's!
24:00 – Its solvable problem. Obviously will take effort and is challenging, but definitely solvable
you should have shown the garden also. It would have been great addition to the discussion.
Bio-fuel= made out of organic materials and – waste…explanation is too long…
And India needs to introduce environmental education and the effects of pollution from kindergarten to universities, waste management . I Live in a rural area in Haryana and the farmers are using plastic as fuel or they burn them .
This video seems to have been made in early June and at that time the AQI remains relatively better in comparison to the rest of the year. so how is the AQI 400? In which area the video was shot?
Solve the population problem first to solve the pollution/heat problem..
start your sustainable food chain from government not farmers, and remove unhealthy western fast foods from your dietary system.
मैंने भी यही प्रयास किया था ,छत पौधों से भर दी उसके बाद घर मे ऐसी सीलन हुई कि रहना दुश्वार हो गया , सारे पौधे उखाड़ फेंके 😂
India is overpopulated and has a massive amount of people living in poverty. Poor people do not care about the environment, they are focused on basic survival.
Wow… this is so educational! I am proud to say my company is working on these very concepts in Europe, and I am happy to see Indians discuss such solutions!
Just 3 months of peak summer and you have a problem.
Become hard to face 40 degrees.
Such lazy time stamps..56 min of intro
The wealthy have a disproportionate impact on carbon emissions. As wealth increases, so does one's carbon footprint, with the richest individuals contributing the most to CO2 pollution.
10:58 You want to stop crop waste burning. Why don't you stop using personal car and AC in house. Everybody see others pollution.🤣🤣
22:00 Do you know any website which show data of personal car producing toxic gases.
Sir, it will be highly appreciated if you make informative content like this in Hindi also for general public who have problem understanding English.
Using the word waste is wrong, also the reason for the problem of crop burning . We need to educate the farmers that this is not waste and they should compost it and use it as fertilizers this will help them reduce the input cost which will in turn result in high profit. This will also provide us vegetables with less chemicals

So great
This video is almost beyond parody. A family of millionaires, who live in an artificial bubble inside one of the most polluted cities in the world, suggest solutions that are beyond the financial means of 99% of the population of India, and talk about all the money making opportunities of offering Carbon Credits to the biggest polluting companies around the world.
Thank you for your response. I’ll get in touch some time. I understand how important it is to grow and eat healthy food. It makes a ton of a difference to my health. But in my case , not having more than an hour or two of sunlight leaves me with no scope for growing anything (beyond using grow lights)What I was trying to say is it’s not possible for everyone to grow their own food, despite having the space.
Biogas and biomass-related energy production has been floating around for over 2 decades, I was personally involved in a project in Chennai trying to scale up the activity of a biomass digester unit based in Koyambedu wholesale vegetable and fruits market. Long story short, biomass-based energy byproducts were unable to compete with LNG, lignite, conventional propane or kerosene-based energy sources. This is simply because government had heavily subsidized these commodities for large segments of the financially underprivileged population. Unless biomass-sourced energy is subsidized both from the manufacturing end as well as made cheaper than fossil fuels, it cannot scale in India.
Can you post a detailed video of their house – The complete system to every micro level detail?
Very good.
