Leverage Point Worksheet: List The Enablers and Inhibitors in Your System. (Optional: Draw Your Feedback Loop.)

Rural areas in India lack education and government support, leading weavers to use environmentally damaging practices to survive. This pollution of water, air, and fields causes health issues. As health services are far away, lives are shortened, continuing the cycle of poverty and environmental damage. The identified feedback loop is vicious. Potential leverage points include improving education, enforcing environmental laws, regulating industries, and providing subsidies for sustainable practices to break this cycle.

Describe an important dynamic in your system


Select one theme or feedback loop that is shaping your system. Explain the dynamic in 3–5 sentences.

Rural areas in India are very poor and lack good education systems. This makes weavers use environmental practices that are
damaging to the environment because they need to survive and because they do not have education and support to use better
practices.
This leads to practices that are more damaging to the environment (because of lack of education and no support from the
government).
These damaging practices lead to an environment that is more polluted.
Pollution of water, air and fields leads to health issues.
As there is no support from the government and health services are far from rural areas, people live shorter lives.

Vicious, virtuous, or stabilizing?


What type of feedback loop have you identified?

Identify potential leverage points


Based on your findings, where could you intervene to shift your system toward your guiding star?

- Force the state to oversee the laws about environmental themes


- Improve population's education to reduce poverty
-Force the state to audit the use and abuse of agrochemicals in the industry
-Intervention from the part of the government to subsidise environmentally friendly practices
- Reduce taxes to companies that use "green" systems
-Government promoting education in rural areas (getting help from NGOs and different funds)
-Regulate current legal framework and put environmental laws into practice in order to improve the quality of the environment where rural workers live, hence, improving their health and spending
less money on health systems
-Tax and fine heavily big industries that promote practices that are environmentally and socially damaging, and benefit those who promote social development
- Vyda could manage to work with the state, to generate policies that provide funds for education in sustainable practices for weavers, improving the health, quality of life and care of the
environment by the community. With this, the weavers could achieve working in the sustainable production of cotton, restoring the environment and generating income to support their families in a
healthy way.
