much shows us just how dia, plastic pollution is in the city of the does and drainage systems blocked by plastic waste. it's they come on sites in my gerry as largest city lagos, possibilities hope, the new band on a single just plastics will help clean up this long standing problem. i remember this come out as a category not now decades late. that is even worse. most people i agree that it probably needs fixing, but not everyone is happy with the band streets would been those say they've been hits hottest. they use federal phone boxes as a cheap way to pack lunches, or it's non biodegradable and says to states, the biggest environmental menace defenders say they haven't been given enough time to find alternatives. no, i'm the most. somebody. what is the residual? what do you have to tell me to do the job we did to put on the goals soon to

present? and obviously need goes, produces tons of waste being some of the trash is collected and recycling. but most of it is done without your thoughts for the damage. it goes to the bottom. do i need to talk to the costs management offloading display what's on your visit? if you have all these boxes, it's not good. how many people use either into this, please? i'm if you needed just with those 330, what is the by the need to me one with us or the brought to the car now because i don't want to miss nigeria is a major inputs of plastics and many people rely on plastic waste for the livelihoods, environmental is to say, the band is a 1st step to change and happy to an acid to add a one in the process of binding styrofoam, the transition has to be just, well,

from our perspective, it has to be 1st mental because as people choose is behavior, they will also change the way they connect with the use of plastic at different levels, the conversation around plastic and they see fit must be denise, the 5 people must see themselves in the conversation. i'm on the conversation. legal stage says between back up it's band with checks and produces and distributors along with fines to help pay for the cost of cleaning. and for more on this we have invited helen dana from green piece africa. she is the project lead for the organizations pan african plastics project, which is aimed at reducing plastic pollution in the environment. welcome to data being use africa. helen. you've hailed the bad on single use plastic in lagos. tell us about just how important a step is. so we mentioned that logos uh government uh

the um so by me, plastics and, and the starter for the end. this is important because plastic has been shown to have disproportional impacts. so imagine a less community because most of these communities leaving africa. um, so uh plus because also, you know, lead to environmental impacts such as, you know, flooding which now and leads to a lot of health impacts we need comes to the population of the. so this is i step in the right direction in terms of not just health, but also environmental unit justice and health. as we heard in our report, people in lagos were taken by surprise with the bad, especially the bit about it coming into immediate effects. what do you think it will take to make the span achieve the results? the feel for these are seeking in labels. i know it's already too new to watch. you know, defense, the cold as beat. are you not industrious? the people who produce this title for the, the consumers because, i mean,

when it comes to implementation back is where, you know, the rubber meets the road. so i think what they need to do is look at how do we then look at, for instance, subsidy is, how do we subsidize the ultimate that are supposed to be nimble? now just looking at what, what, what the consumers will do. because at the end of the day, we need everyone to, to come on board for us to be able to have effective implementation. so let the politicians live the government also what these they call that people from the industry who have, you know, uh the money to, for instance, invest in, in sustainable alternatives. and for the consumers, the alternatives that also stay level of need to be subsidized. helen stand by because i would like for us to have a look at an example from kenya, which has had a hit start in regulating a plastic pollution and then we'll pick up our conversation in tenure. total buying

a single is plastic sofa one. the applies to national and fox and military sizes. bots in 2017 can introduce a nationwide bond one single use plastic months. i move that was loaded as groundbreaking at that time. but has it been successful? i feel like you to meet this week to do some beach clean up cuz you can see just as of plastic area. you know the plastic stand to lot. so i think the government, at least the tide by binding plastic the tree to reduce the waste around for me. uh, plus to, you know, whichever, for me to coordinate the alternatives to it's 80 percent of the public are complying with the bonds. can also you to see, attend $5000.00 fine and up to 4 years in prison, have proved to be an effective deterrent and vital mental activities. i agree and say the plastic bag, the bon has made significant gains and helps reduce plastic pollution overall. so a success, not so fast, you can still find places like these, ga, nate robi,

or the face or even face one of the largest landfills, keeping the stuff it got despite an overall positive response, the plastic bug binding has not been enough to eliminate kenya's for nissan problem because it does not include that many of a forms of plastic, like least bottle of water or florida. or these containers in which visit tables and take out the food are sold. that are full and a half 1000000 people living in. they will be, and they generic, more than $2400000.00 waste every day of feed, the, which is plastic after the button took effect. many of these bags made doubtful of fully propane flat. did the markets the more doable, then single use plastic bags,

an easier to recycle? none the less popular intakes decades to decompose and eventually breaks down into micro plastics, polluting ground water and coffee hum to humans and animals waiting just that. these bugs are supposed to be used repeatedly, but often end up being used on the was just like the previous single use ones. therefore, in a funnel move to bind individual meant that me humphrey plastics. in 2019 the 10 num government bonds this to java and success feet. so all in all 10 is one of the african countries moving in the right direction bots as pre priest africa told us the item it goes should be a complete button. a single news plastics. hey, let me just just picking up with you. um, over the day we see as all reports it was saying in the case of can you that bad and single use plastic bags load while it was a step in the right direction?

it's not been enough to tackle the pollution problem. absolutely, because you know, the other forms of single use plastic funding, natalia sway this case is a plastic bottles. um, so for it to be successful, we need to complete by no single use glasses call. that thing is blast, it's because if you go to cancel for my kids right now, you still have, you know, things like bread and other products being packed, you know, using single use plastics. so this for us to be successful, well i have to meet that. they've been, you know, he's in mrs. when he comes with a single use a, you know, bond that was was, are you since i didn't turn to 17, but the government used to go ahead and burn all of that single use plastics. but more than that, they also need to look at, they'll turn out to you, how do they make those alternatives affordable to the you know, consumers to the property. because until that happens, then we'll still be struggling with issues to do with implementation. i understood

and helen, where does the recycling come into the conversation? the recycling knew not enough to solve. you know, the plastic pollution crises, the ultimate, you know, solice on to these crises, these very backs on the point of production. if you look at the recycling, you know, we started save only about 9 percent of plus because of up for the you cause the billing cycle globally. and even when you look at, you know, well, the admissions. but, you know, the, the, the, the, the numbers really don't get back. so you know, for 250. so we're looking at how as to s on where, until we are able to cut production, then we'll not be able to get out of these, you know, prices any time soon. right. that's helen dana from green peace, africa. thank you for your insights. you're watching data, use africa still to come

one high school and one primary school. we really need to see some change in this area, which is also do you not glendon? young people may hold the key to this year's election, but less than 50 percent of potential vote is on the 29. have registered it. they are an estimated 14000000 young south africans well eligible to vote in between to 24 nationally election. if all of them were to register and turn out on the election day, they have the potential to complete the change, the political direction of the country. however, with over 300 registered parties, many young, so the africans don't know way to place the mark a clue. recently participated in a boat to education session organized by a local m d. oh yeah. if you could speak openly about these frustrations with the government on boston, the petitions keep stringing us along,

but keep running away from us and then best buy them. the organization believes that getting young voters to think about the own needs can make them feel more involved. conflict in that vote is having conversations amongst ourselves about what this election means, how we're going to vote. why are we going to vote at knoxville? i think we spend a lot of time focusing on the political bodies, but it's not the election. it is our election as the voters of the country who now sees the power of his vote. yeah. is that these conversations need to happen more often? the money happens, the mazda pressure will shift from us to the government to change the economy issues, including the ruling and see government has had 3 decades impala but young people live, who don't have the same historical ties to the party as the parents. and they feel let down the vote could bring about the biggest political change in post apply to
