Synopsis:
In "India: Living the Change", for people in Dindigul in India's Tamil Nadu state, waste isn't really a problem - it's just a resource in the wrong place. School children and housewives have been at the forefront in collecting household and market waste to turn them into compost. They have not only cleaned up the streets, but also persuaded people to grow organic food. As the word spreads, more towns and villages are emulating this example set by CLEAN India project and Gandhigram Trust. Can ordinary people help save our planet which is under siege from many environmental crises? How can we change attitudes and lifestyles to consume fewer resources? In this Asian TV series "Saving the Planet", we profile six successful initiatives that combine knowledge, skills and creativity to achieve a cleaner and healthier environment through local action. The stories were identified from a regional competition, and produced by TVE Asia Pacific with local partners in Cambodia, India, Laos, Nepal, The Philippines, and Thailand.
