the signage, research in the i c d w the how can we improve life in our cities with more and more people across africa and around the globe moving to other areas. this question has never been more important . i am sandra co homes, a 3 know do a writing comp. hello. welcome to yet another exciting edition of equal africa. and i, chris who lives in legal side to re on the show today. we'll look at how we could clean up all cities, making life better for ourselves. and our environment. peers was coming up.

volunteer divers, retrieving fresh from the click. toria, uganda fights in pollution. the french cities that's getting a lot of gold above caught in the mission. and protected shocks, we look at consultation efforts in south africa. we're talking about the quality of life is it is there is for nothing more important that the air will breeze. compulsion of cause and trucks and noon to pump out emissions that palm roll the environment. and public health. so active is not experts in i real big catherine hall and foster the to a position that paul old never citizens typical change because this is the device that's good health transform every day. life in a row, be a small since i'm measuring air pollution in the city center, mainly to blame for the quality of the pixel to as motorcycles. and these are paul

at many points known as massages for the kids up and planning advocates, humphrey, or html. as close, there will be home you, watts for our joint projects between the city government and the un exploding ways to make cabinets. capital rena. he's particularly concerned about them, attaches shopped him to copy those sheets that are coming from different thoughts, lots of different tools. they all, it's, i mean it's into this evening. so they, it's, i mean it's, i'm ending this week. we just want our listing. so these are both of those sofa formulas shown shoot through the seats that would of your day. so let's see. so base conducted by he's organizational phones, higher incidence rates of bronchitis implants as well. my touch is fly betsy, but on the delta legged ends like these can only go so far. as

i drive in big policy changes go up on a city wide level. you take, how does that to the tenants. government does not hub yet. this is way offensive. africa comes in the organization develops and assembles devices for environmental monitoring, unemployment action, africa, cities in africa in general, does not have data on the air quality levels. and because of that we have increasing terrible air pollution levels, right? so it's important for us to begin collecting this data to be able to compare it and see whether there's any health impacts. but since those are expensive, that is a problem. that's alicia. a lot of those things you meaning team is working hard to solve. we quoted this

a low cost of $42.00 more utah. and the reason being is that's it for letting me cheap bucks, cynthia, to defense. good morning testing. we cost, you know, dental tens of thousands of yesterday the kids, 2 components of 3 d printed on the team. she has the blueprints for the modified design, freely on the citizen scientist. any way in the world can legally replicate the device without such bringing the costs down on the 300 euros from us should be available. referring read models can cost me only $100.00 times as much on the team frequently head out to inspect and inventing this senses. they've installed in different parts of the roads and moines, mostly to dwellers, are requesting the devices. people like give you malware. the shopkeeper has us the money general, the restaurant above these premises to host a sense of 14 so

um most of the time i get our stuff to go. i just just paid the full feeding every now and then we must go to hospital before it took up no able to present to the of the doctor today. i thought it too so that i have to be able to prove all i have watched so many times today and that will become too opposed to this. felicia and i have to be about the smoke, but uh no action has to be taken. so yeah, the election, maybe you have something to prove to them. sensors like these can a give a clip, pick general air quality and specific locations. but what would help to talk look the pollution in the city, the united nations, electric mobility program, advocates for a shift to electric vehicles. alex co not saves,

transitioning away from conventional combustion engines, needs to be incentivized economically and that gets in to will transport is a good place to start or 20 years ago, the almost new motorcycles in kenya. now we have about $2000000.00 motorcycles, 250300000 motorcycles edit for a year. and if you would like to fight them, this has a definite and significant impact on greenhouse gas emission reductions. progress is being met. can you know both on electric motorcycle taxi fleet and the government has some bushes targets within 5 years. 100000. the motor bikes are set to roll onto kenya's treats. so more and more people we'd be able to hold on to clean up some supports like oven planning, advocates, humphrey or html. and who knows this much needed air pollution sensors might be redundant, so we all need to be able to get to around every day in the come premium way.

but it's realistic for everyone in the city to have y'all reform of motorized transport, providing defense on reliable public faults. quotation is showing me the way, ford. this is now head to europe. a french c. t is giving residents a big incentive to stop using that cause. and as you will see, the more people are wise to the challenge. the great to the benefits. monday morning in mon peggy and something from the city with its half a 1000000 inhabitants is waking up on the high end. chubby is on her way to work. last december, she stopped teasing her parents call to make the 7 columbus to join the free public transport is a really good idea, especially for people like myself, i think twice before spending 50 euros on a monthly subscription. i. i only in 1950 euros gross per month. similar to my

sister who's also switched to public transport. the hey ma, it's me taking me 26 minutes to get to 10 minutes less than by coffee. it was it. i like the stress free way of traveling with less on protecting the environment. i think longer. services report is always on the to travel is financed by a tax paid by companies with at least 11 employees, such as the one in which my in should be works as a managers personal assistant i think those who know company used to be in an area with pull access to public transport, and that's why we moved to this location, which is only a 3 minute walk away from the tram. i've to do that in the hub for once. the tackle is repaid, being used for something beneficial to society. welcome. this is a really good measure. the height of smoking for february 6th was you're huh. the medium sized companies provides easy to use with those codes management software

for businesses, operating in an environment to the sustainable way. it's crucial to them all. and so like as a software developer, we only use service that are exclusively wrong with renewable energy. we have planted free trees on our grounds. we are very careful with the amount of electricity we use for lighting and air conditioning. last year, we reviewed common footprint. we have reduced plastic usage, but there is still a way to go with that. such efforts to the delight of the socialist lead city government and it to a big party to celebrate the introduction of free public transport. and will peggy last december, the set them into ports, the heed free public transport gives citizens some of that purchasing power by your illogical and social measure. so she has,

it helps us fight global warming. that's but it doesn't touch people and it gets everyone on board me that the fuel costs the wrong about the clean of the we breeze . don't review me. yeah, he left for his po and the measure seems to be getting down well with more pad. he's young inhabitants, walk you through to just choose and it helps a lot not to have to spend money on transport. most when this encourages people to say fuel and take public transport instead a but it's easy to evaluate the hospital. but part of this plan is the construction of a new tram line. the 50 more peggy, it will be completed late next year and connect the university port valerie, when more than 20000 students has signed up. it always seems the universe, the entrance is while you have and you can see there is very important construction work underway and you will have to problem solve this right here. additional bike lanes thing on some parking for cars as well, but less than in the past with i'm,

we also transforming this square which was used for parking into a pedestrian area that the university has created a lot of extra bike parking to the research was hoping this one to be used by students as security is about 40 percent of our teaching stuff currently come by call. what you so might take the tram in the future. now this option exists what a good public transport network is crucial for free public transport or to make a difference. but getting around by public transport is not as easy in place as the from the center. central to v dot is an adjacent satellite town. and part of more pelias metropolitan area with about $12000.00 inhabitants and counting google. daniel works and the sub but lives in the city center. he's part of a lovely group calling for the money spent funding free public transport to be invested in extending the network instead of waiting. okay, it's about 4 pm and there was only one from every 15 minutes. even though it's

going home time of transport links to say, pool. the local townhome is even set up a shut that box on own district that you have to pay for it. if you want free public transport, you need to consider that the city is growing. yeah. otherwise you just please people in the see i've sent it with a good transport network and forget those on the outskirts. i mean, we all fit so traditional chevy this on pity. city, the new trim line is also going to run through central to the di da. you always hoping it's just the start. if the network is extended, the companies, the max hopes that even more of its employees will take public transport. the c o also wants to make an even green o. c is we going to construct a couple of bikes, should read the events club, where even in store solar panels on our review and the for so we can become even more sustainable and reduce energy costs. you know,

prices of recent significantly on the news here. the security included now this is soon as it gets one big step forward, has already been achieved. thanks to the new scheme principle, no longer makes up the lion's share of the company's comp and footprint. it will be assessing to see if that strategy actually walks out and maybe even in splash other cities as well. so now tell me how many of you loud some coffee. if you do, you're definitely not alone. it is false. becoming the walls most popular. viv rates for many of us grabbing a take a coffee is a daily routine. more often the note is comes in a disposable comp which ends up in the trucks, but not in one that is sweet songs to a new initiative. it's like a vending machine in with us. we usable coffee cups and not issued to you,

returned customers and then refunded 67 us and deposits. denmark 2nd largest city or who's introduced the scheme to reduce waste from single use comes last year. we did a cleaning of the river that runs through the city and we picked up 100000 losses. so it is an issue, and all of this stuff ends out in the nature. we get the micro plastic. we get cops all over the place saturday morning. the cd looks like fresh. so this will be a significant impact on, on. i'm michael plastic, but also the general picture of how the city looks. 25 machines scheduled throughout the city center. now take back the custom made cups for reuse that then transported to this cleaning facility, about 40000 re usable takeaway cups a currently in circulation. officials say it will take time for the system to pay for itself, but the benefits of west city council hopes to scale it up significantly.

basically, those can be expanded to all kind of of take away. this can be the piece of box. this can be the, the box you have your car in. it can be the beer bottles. uh, it can be pretty much anything that will go into a trash can. the scheme is set to run for 3 years before undergoing a review. more than 40 cafes and boss have already signed up building on other return schemes. we've done it with with plastic bottles and that works a superbly and you never see a plastic bottle level lying around because you know, people have incentive in, in taking it and, and getting whatever amount of money you can get from it. and by creating that and, and creating a new habit for people in terms of to go cups. and i think that's going to be challenging. but so many introducing another deposit system is not problem. on the contrary, i think that the people should get used to that we'd have to take care and we'd

have to move out. so to, to these machines freshmen a good one. and if everyone plays the part, it's sure to be successful. that's also the message over the next report from right to in uganda. as we know, the was oceans of choking on plastic, but looks like even more polluted, like victoria is a serious risk of degrading partly due to for west management, bought lots of people walking hard to ton things around once a month. how some people takes a day to such a waste. so disability endo with taste. no. yeah. and these critics don't. tough to dave to deep says plastic flux to us of this office like victoria of because we get fresh with a lake. is food of crush. don't they? oh and when they, they don't do the some plastics on this fishing. it's which are no longer being

used by the fish. i mean how something relieves and that you can't insure for like victoria. so he and most of you, somebody from what's to us for almost 3 years now. he's been diving for a local, been a vision that seems to clean up the leak. they pulled out a bundle and fishing 8 or goes to minutes, which had been yours for the dave as the project is a day when i enter the i don't and there was web me with a fishing net. yeah, that's the worst thing i heard. i use my knife, which i'm always on the crate, the cut over there, you know, totally clean up the water. it also retrieve waste from the show that's covered in this petition. the main men to most of them gets help from volume t as each month. they get tons of plastic. i'm going to land face over to him, but started the initiative. he's been organizing ridge like clean up see or for for

yes, he's program. you can the junior ranges seems to be time the lake. it's not just state the plastic and other was the lake victoria, mainly comes from the canals, will be gun bestcopy to accomplish that is which should have been much of it will come out. the team of the junior ranges, lexia 3 times a week. we do what do i say it picks it up that make we do uh, what about the channels that you get to that? is that on the lake and nicholas go ahead. he has a lot of the shows of liquid dirtier because of it, it was the we have the able to connect for about $10.00 or less these uh, within the least amount of, uh, what does it, but with the big got you we, we, we can we're able to, we can afford it as of as much as $50.00 in less than plastic. the 2 most of tries to cover these as many residents as possible to take to the clean up on the canal. so we try to ability to achieve the community by you mean what you're trying

to do uh, through these community activities, clean up activities and whenever you're going to commit to re engage with the community, do so try to get them involved and then uh, educate them about the negative impact it has to their communities and their neighborhoods or those leaving the as it kind of a starting to realize that it's healthy and be to for the environment. let's just to waste thing to the war. to solve it though, for the site which are meant for that, for the free and convenient for a family on the for fish, the or the for all of activity to exactly what was already so far. know it's enough . people have to convince us to help protect lake victoria. greenwater is critical for the survival. those are leave on the lake. i sent in your comes from is for me to fishes. and those 1st time. how important is these fees? i don't 100 low phone daisy. but the way i knew i loved this,

you'll and just to up so that i've heard it, but i left it was the life, gee. and his group wants to continue the project that will continue to catch in young people in the process, which will allow the diving team to keep growing. i know for a story from south africa, the mind to recoil. a change of thinking shocks are often vilified and feed, but they actually to play a key role in the ocean ecosystem. those rights sandra, south africa's long coast line, is home to 100. so shock species. the country has been a thrill blaze when it comes to studying and protecting these and dentist screeches and next reports will take a deep dive into the topic of shock conservation, or migrating blue socks of frequent visitors to the coast of south africa. pop out

of shy shops and gullies chalks a native to its count forest. these brown seaweeds all home to more than 200 shocks bc's. the shock expos, ryan daily regularly monitors their activities, the to conserve shocks. we need to know where they go, where they spend time, so we are tagging the truck to figure out where they go and identify critical habitat for them so that we can improve protection for these critical areas. he and his team fit the shots with acoustic transmitters, so they can track them a procedure. the shocks barely noticed to double once they've been tagged. the transmitter in midland ultrasonic pulse for 6 years. and the last couple of years of tags over a 100 trucks representing about 10 or 12 different species. many of the shocks are

endangered. and we hope to find out more about the way that guy, specifically of the multiple years, we have to identify critical areas for them over a $150.00 receive as a move along the sea bed to, to detect the signals from the tech shocks. whenever one of them swims by the receiver records, the id number, the signal ranges up to one kilometer. the acoustic receivers are regularly brought onto dry land, so the doctor, they've loved to, can be evaluated. they have to work with a big network of collaborators to share data on a receive is so all of the day, so we clicked on these receive is it said within a network and then we able to pick out the way the trucks have been where they're standing the time so that we can prioritize the conservation program,

canolli web, so long as these broad support for shock conservation efforts from an early age. humans are afraid of these ocean print. it is no shock. populations can only survive if public attitudes to them change and that requires raising awareness by changing the mind states, i believe that i am changing the world one step at a time, a one kid at a time. for me, 5, a group of 49 is and i'm changing the minds. it's one child, even if it's going to be families and teaching them, watch all the same fulton, we're at 80 making such a big difference. the media tends to report on sharks mainly when they have been attacks on humans. at the shock education center in cape town, children can learn about the valuable role they play in marine ecosystems and get up close with shock, eggs,

and even teeth. those extra time of the specter on how they actually know and that they're not actually thing just to us that we actually endangered them by polluting. and by catching conservation notes, i've also equipped and under what a camera with bait. so they can also observe smaller shy of sharks that look into killed forest, off the coast line it to lose the amount of hiding, allowing the researches to gain useful insights into ocean by a diversity. the collected data is analyzed using a program the team developed to help them assess their findings. we've taken some open source machine learning software and trained it on hundreds of images and sharks and fish and all of the species that we come across here and

phosphate and so that we can use it for detecting these bases in videos in the future. their research has already proved highly constructive. these already moved public acceptance of shock, conservation, and conservation areas. now make up 5 percent of south africa's ocean's environmental. this would like to see that area increased further in order to protect marine ecosystems. what majestic creative. and that brings us to the end of today's too great to have you along. i'm crystal, langston late goes see you next time by piece on to all of you. if you've got any idea about how we can look upto environment, do get in touch. we'd love to hear from you, and don't forget to check us out on all social media platforms to. i am sandra holmes, that we know do funding go from complex, right to a new gun to the
