The Climate Solutions Road Tour has not only inspired all of us on it, but also - we've learned - has inspired people all over the world, many of whom we don't even know about yet! Feel free to tell us your story or your solution, or read more about the inspirational impacts of the road tour here. It means a lot ot us to learn how our work is spreading, so please do share it with us!

To hear more about what we're still up to in India, please read more, as we've been sharing our story all around the world and across India and working to implement even more solutions across the nation, from working with filmmakers in Mumbai to ragpickers in Delhi and Ahmedabad. We're passionate about finding and implementing more solutions that are addressing climate change, development, green jobs, and livelihoods all at the same time!

After the inspirational examples from Darpana and Conserve about reusing plastic bags that the Climate Solutions Project is supporting, as well as Haathi Chaap's innovative paper from elephant and camel dung, we've found dozens more waste product solutions to share!

In Kenya, artists in the slums are making the most incredible necklaces out of rolled paper. They were a huge hit in Ahmedabad when I went to visit Darpana's amazing work there, both with the women, and with the amazing children there. We're working to see how we could train Indian women to make the same necklaces - though maybe they are already? Have you seen these anywere?

Artists in Madagascar are making incredible art - including my favorite baobab trees - out of old oil drums. The Passer'ailes Artist Community is cooperating with French fair trade agencies to distribute their products equitably, with artists making fair wages.

The world of climate solutions, it seems, gets smaller every day. This past week, Deepa Gupta met one of the creators of the remarkable Afghan Reality TV show called "Fikr wa Talash," or “Dream and Achieve," a show on which Afghan social entrepreneurs compete before a team of local business owners for a prize of $ 20,000. The winners -- all innovative climate solutions entrepreneurs.

Faizul Haq Moshkani, a father of nine from Kandahar, won the grand prize (left) with his plastic-recycling business plan and many of the other ideas involved similarly profitting from waste or adding value to environmental services.

More than a million people watched the show each week, making it one of the most popular shows in the nation, challenging social norms and business convention. A government official was sixth to be voted off, well before the far less privileged runner-up, a female entrepreneur who was exiled from her village for having been seen on television. Two of the top five finalists were women, shocking and exciting in a country where women were allowed to work only seven years ago.
