thanks a lot for watching until the next time. take care the clean energy and cutting with a 2 big challenges facing us today. luckily, we don't need to look far to find some pretty smart solutions. so welcome to equal africa. i and sandra at the home. so tween of you joining do from complex, right to uganda? a thank to sandra. yes. sometimes it since the difficult to fix all the problems facing the environment. what we want to show you how every little bits of progress helps. i am chris gloves coming to you from lagos, nigeria, i'm,

here's what we've got for u haul nigeria is push it back against the use las they'd the valuable work offices is inside, 1st of the spanish mediterranean coast. and how a 19 year old invent are as bringing lights, there's village in malawi, the fall are for us to report to stay of bikes. yeah. elijah area and the vibrant mega city of lake ghost, which has a huge plastic waste problem. it's so bad, the state government has bends, plastic items that they use just once, as for the way many people of celebrate that the decision was that. so we'll see the reaction of the shows. oh, hard. it's gotta be to change. always legally is literally drowning in

trach discarded plastic packaging is everywhere. the cities, lots of ways in particular, have become a dumping ground for more than a $113000.00 tons of garbage. each year. they just states environments, ministry has not bad. single use plastic upholstery, but it's not that easy. it's wrapped up with many people's livelihoods because companies just like us, that's what people have meaning. so what would they be doing about the, the progress from people? what would that be doing? i can't tell you if i'm happy or sad about those things, the take away styrofoam packing is cheaper than reusable plastic frontier you wards so many customers choose to get their food and the styrofoam that because it's cheap. i don't know how the government will go about implementing this man because it's not our fault. environmental research out to me to

a passive by moving knows how damage in the past. it can be. she says the government has made the right move, even if some will finally talk to it that we're talking about like the informal 6. so recycling companies that'd be painful in collections of pet all tools and all of that this was fixing. well then it is pros and cons. we're looking at the long term environmental sustainability on effect funding. these implementing the band once be easy, many businesses are simply not ready. they'll lead time to before their production process. but active is the last same way joe believes it can be done. we have warranties, it's all plastic. there was was a 9 do. yeah, it's all plastic. always lived. it is very much possible. well, i understand the convenience. the calmness of plastic is quite blinded. well, i would like to say this clumsiness, convenience of the cost of our lives,

of the future is too expensive. they got many street vendors. we also welcome to left garbage on the street, but they don't know what to confuse in place of plastic packages. when we talk about the way people me to use or think is no good because it's on the roof would cost us both the cost to give us the chance to advise that we value the desk. if you can both be given to the conception people do food you said landlord called them to canada, whether biodegradable or reusable packaging. now many options out they have to help with close to the plastic waste. indeed, there are. and some of those or policies, i've been around for a very long time with business that. so people this all to us, the large area, helping to bring back up for additional food, talk to that is completely natural. but it was in abundance of the civil thoughts

to have faced boosting properties. this he's little religious ceremony, but you would call it a formal from there to watch. it is a publicity event for private protection organized by, unlike they're going into your that wants people to use these large, highly profitable leads instead of plastic and my that is the way it is related to biodiversity. i see strategy projects. many of the posts up, it's kind. elaine cbs, them, i did the launch the planned to, nor plastic projects in 2015 enough to witnessing how single use plastic folder that's want in the southwest. and they do, you know, you know, it's a used to encourage communities to replace plastic wrapping with the robust bloss leaves of the cut on fat or miracles. fruit plant also known by its letting them tomato cool. close the nearly wait. when they from us in the villages,

we've got them together. we didn't want to plant enough to cause i nearly dimensions and 1000 if i remember practices to ensure that it is up web long distance was because of and that's in the well no choice to do much already to onto far beautiful food plants. a mainly cultivated by women in to call plantations as a form of federal forestry plants, a thrive in the soul beneath the trees. and the leaves can be harvested every 3 months. or you need to more like manually is taking putting the trust initiative together with other women. she's learning how to properly rep ford here in the world in the state of a sudden she started 2 weeks ago today. she and how cool, except preparing being kicks as it is. yeah. so cool. this is the reason why i'm learning how to rep being like with leave is to understand the technique of how to read and leave a lot of ideas with this. i can start filling wrapped food in order to earn an

income. what i want, i don't know. so supporting the middle of the lunch leaves from the farm to local markets can be quite a challenge to buy as both private individuals and food vendors. we use them as rugs a bunch of 10 to 12 leaves kind of close upwards of 280 or they prevail into for around 12 utah sense. but, so i still fuzz buyers micro credit financing to encourage pickup image area. straightforward is often cooked and dropped in plastic pots, but customize overwhelmingly agreed that the food tests a bit wrapped in the leaves. and then of course, there are the huge environmental advantages. according to the you and the jury producers around 2500000 tons of plastic every year, making it the 9th was plastic polluter in the wat presently waste is a problem for the environment. then leave on this or is about the green cable.

that's east if con, easily be decomposed. so it's cool. this is seth from the viral meet on like i'm and for the a mice poor dog like 9 loan by plastic, that stays in the environment for a number of years. since the leisure and government to pose the bond on single use plastics. in january 2024. the reason not the good reason to use the leads it is a chance to turn back the clock and return to a lease with a long tradition here. and when you say a 55 people, the miracle plant lease is very important here in southwest interior because of its health benefit, which it will. yeah. so you will need to go using the lease the route. so watch has been around since time in the morning i've done really on the medical experts have also told us that using testing to that comes with cultural goodness and the can

somebody say boma oh in depth i'll call yet all back kind of stuff. the reason that these healthy sustainable resource can be useful more than just trusting fluid means in that scene that can fabricate this me into sleep. i mean to call so that's instead of using the sleep, which is a plastic plastic needs, a plastic kind of completes to eats you happy without nancy a bit tell of shown to use or leave. well, needs and shape for you to eat the groups up to raise awareness of the benefits of these natural substitutes and make a key contribution to reducing plastic waste. mold in cities done just suffer from waste problems. how is the shortages are a big problem to rank to

a rising space, a site? fortunately, there are many ideas been developed to solve some of these issues that swipe crease in some parts of the world. tiny houses are becoming of trend as the names such as they of small one room dwellings that can be billed quickly and easily. but we wanted to build a they also climate friendly. a big trip for a small house, a tiny house. it's being set up in honda, the gemini, in the backyard of an apartment building owned by the municipal housing association . it was produced in estonia and costs $10000.00 euros to transport. so for 4 of them have been set up here, costing a 2000 euros each blanket. daniel vice lives, one of them on the 5th because i'd have to, i actually feel more comfortable in smaller space. it was. but the problem was, i'm more of a city person and until now there were no projects like this in the city. we didn't

know stuff got of the washing machine is suitably tiny, with just the 2 square meters of space. every centimeter accounts, it's minimalism down to a fine arts, and yet a 150 people apply to live here, daniel, vice to give a powerpoint presentation before gaining approval. housing is good in many parts of germany, in the post people on a decent income could afford single family homes like bees. but now they're in short supply and prices that sold the comp and to move to the on his partner indiana ranges. this is provided a business opportunity. they build tiny houses when they're finished, they drive them down the alt of onto the customers. tiny house, the states us bringing up all the gemini pulls to the indiana range is also native in one of these communities. but for the most part,

local authorities only allow tiny homes on comp sites. that's because many town councils are reluctant to recognize this new type of construction. that's a house. phone is of tiny homes. it's called to understand many of the fed up from want to be given equal rights. mental health like this would fit anywhere. what does it matter if it's on wheels or not? do we actually build them with and without we only see the why do we insist on the strict rules that stipulate houses in the village have to have red roofs or green roofs or whatever it's nonsense stuff. it's pretty good. tiny house is really the plus is more many also steam, tiny homes are more friendly, but that's certainly partially true. it's certainly the case. the tiny homes are often built of wood for managed forest, which is the full sustainable. and they have a smaller carbon footprint. then buildings made of countries producing just one ton

of cement alone and met some and 600 kilos, a c o 2. but on the other hand, tiny homes are less energy efficient. even though only a small ring needs teaching that room has a component to the knowledge of yours outside was what heat can escape in 2020 teen more than 1000000 refugees came to gemini. that's the increased the pressure on the housing market. fund that into is pushing up orders for the tiny homes here in know of in gemini, tiny houses already being used for ukrainian refugees. we made one family. he moved in here last year. jada possession, considered as a self lucky, even though there are 4 of them living in this brand new tiny home. there's one bedroom for a young son and sister wendell. another 5 south unpack husband,

the municipality paid 90000 euros for it. younger plastic pots and leave a small farm and ukraine. the whole family then moved to germany. the new home is small, but nice. on the, on the plastic says she can imagine living here with the family for quite a while. as we know, a lot of funded is getting quotes it bought by how much exactly, and how quickly a citizen scientist is wayne is using his function to make a key contribution to existing knowledge. probably not even a whole b. how's the cost to make a difference? let's take a look. it's just after dawn, but jose pasquals is a man on a mission. he's heading out to see the 73 year old collects weather data on

land and in the water. i was upset about eunice noticed that the moment i use these special through monitors that you can lower into the c k. uh, but kinda in the process, you have to around 5 minutes of one glass. they flip over to spend display the temperature in the deep by now get on the amount of time to elect them. but i do like a, in this temperature for the past fall knows all about the sea and how to measure it for over half a century. the topography for and son of a fisher has pursued his hobby of the coast of less 13 in northeastern spring weather permitting. he goes to see twice a week to document water temperatures in the mediterranean is maybe the receipts. it's my lies, customize the place. it's almost like a drug, a vehicle here that ever since i was little, it's thrill heat. i mean,

it is kind of mainly because data like this didn't exist when i was 15 or 20 years old and no, no idea that those they start having reached his 1st measuring point posts up, lowers one of his devices. it shows that at a depth of 30 meters, the water temperature is close to 16 degrees celsius. pascal says the sea surface has warmed by full degrees since he began taking measurements is pretty cool, but the for the village privilege must continue mode. it's worrying escape because rising temperatures caused the water to expand and with that, leaving the sea level to rise equal to the lovely pick those key. i almost know that we can see this on the beach and i to spend the money here. they get half a meter narrower ingle. i verify that the beach here has shrunk by 15 meters since 1990. 3. did say that those was made out to go along with the temperature. pascal measures the water, salt content,

which has to them for providing vital info that fishermen like a sophomore you have come to rely on just little 50 of them. we advised our workers closely connected to this data. and one thing, if we know a bit more about at all, like he does, we'd be better fishers for sure. who am i as they walk in city, i want them to quote, as difficult as i use piteous piano support at this deal. there are species of fish that can cope with the rising temperatures by myself, sort of the others that are used to warmer water. now come up nor that from more southern areas like a style and of course, the morales posts up task well meticulously notes. the coordinates and measurements then at the local tourist info office, he transfers the data to a website used by scientists worldwide. the zillow last time you don't see it. so my data in an american trade magazine and compare them to their own findings that about the, the in the hour they said now they know their satellite instruments are working

correctly. so tele days with you and then correct. i mean pasquals collection of years of data has also made an impression in barcelona. at the institute of maureen sciences, researchers pro how climate change effects plants and animals and humans especially the arctic is affected, says oceanographer jordy, sound lot. but so is the mediterranean, and other than the guess what we're observing bigger changes on the waters surface then another sees around the world and there are regions we call hot spots and the mediterranean is one of them. you know that as it will meet the new pasquals, how the it has grown and important in this era of climate change, which is why it's his mission to keep taking measurements and do his bit to slow down global warming the

glen, able to get away. so, and it's painful because it's not a natural process or something, you can see how everything's changed or heavy and how we're changing it and everything's interconnect apart. up the, i'll, even if only a small part becomes the stable on every things thrown out of balance with all or nothing. for us that pass qual has no children, but hopes to find someone to carry on his legacy. still, she plans to keep going out to sea and conducting his measurements, for as long as he can from spain we had sold tomorrow co way human induced climate change. he's already a fixing the countries. a good call to inform us that not only need to adopt how they want to and how this puts the of placing wise and costs for the fuel they use to do it. fortunately, the increasing the able to turn to another abundant energy result the sun. so low

paul is gaining ground into agricultural sector as most of the raise that means sets up to cover on site energy needs the vacation ponds and we'll come from i'm at the less us feels have been paused by the sun for 5 years now. you used to rely on pertain gas if also feel you guys have to buy into city or any hardship we're looking at. so we were determined to stop contributing to the damage being inflicted on our environment. and when did so, we decided to switch to solar power as a clean or what didn't go friendly alternative or motivated 10. it's a good investments occasion and then it's more profitable in terms of business and better for our machinery. this firm is located in can you try and read, read genuine note, isn't positive morocco. for the past 10 years with an olive trees have mainly been joining this sunday saw here, which can only be done using trip irrigation. the know what the,

what we mix in organic substance about the sand and the kind of how to, how can we put it into these holes. and you don't have that code because all these hoses function is just attributed already headed. and what was the heading of what was the ad heavy and the because to a middle even, and to keep the whole says from getting blocks out, several 1000 euros are invested in an elaborate filter system. the one that is pumped out of the catch basin is filtered before being spent through pipes to the fields. we'll see, i'm not a one. do you the other one humans that the filters need regular checks and maintenance just because they are vital due process or something in the motor cars and the document. they're especially important for what's known as a localized irrigation that which requires water and it's free of any sort of impurities paint is 70. so upon is required on investment was approximately $80000.00 euros. but the system meets all the funds, electricity needs. companies like check my rock. i've had the work cutouts in

recent years. i've the initial installation technicians make regular maintenance checks and then it doesn't look at them. so they didn't have level after turning on the pump. well, and the water immediately flows into the tank. and one of our searches now for the, the trauma which is connected to filters, you to have generals the water to be used for ever getting the men because you have a husband keeps you did extinction. so even though renewables are ready subsidized by the government, more and more from us, switching to solar palm, the last few years alone under that $10000.00 solar systems have been installed, a model for spawns tech. my rock is benefiting from base trend. they offer solar panels with different ratings depending on how much electricity is needed. use mostly for recreation to treat, put to use or make bio for to allies as well as a says green energy is was the investment. when in sun fell east, instead of investing in gas upgraded machine was, which are expensive and do that,

we can opt for renewable energy that tells you and it's actually very profitable. yeah, no, it's a cuts going because within, sorry, here's what i can i keep the money to pay the equipment, not any of you. and then after that, i'm making a profit was actually was the end of the call. we'll get some credit card. i need a new one. so from us like i'm at the legs a can kill 2 birds with one stone and more, while also taking better care of the environment. as such, a large scale solar power requires a lot of investment, which is slowing installations in many countries and some places, since you don't still have access to any sort of in a trustee. a tor, well as one young getting a veil in malawi is proven with efforts and the modulation plus a lot of determination. we can make a big difference to our local community and it can be sustainable to

the only 12 percent of the population in the law. we have an access to electricity, but that's changing in some places, at least like here in the village of jingle, things to this ingenious, young inventor, ernest, and due to has harnessed the laws of thermodynamics that you 1st observed in the world around him. gun rambles of gardening, while i'm in the room, i had to do some investigating what am i to understand the whole process? i do come, i z z, a liter i collected were stones that i used to make them actually wasn't able to do with the system, right. what do i do? system work it in that wise. the 19 year old is illuminating homes, one by one, and transforming is home village in rural central. i'm allowing the technology is enabling residents to make more of the hours of darkness for work, study, or leisure technology specialists in the area are now calling for special policies

. to support innovators like him. so at this point is to be able to didn't fight and vicky play us, appear to find the rules and even defined as the funding mechanisms. ernest and bruce electricity generation project is under evaluation by them allowing energy regulatory authority. the body says the project has to adhere to. ready the guidelines sometimes the as says our own our own doorstep. thanks for coming along today to take out a co offer go online for most stimulating reports and ideas. i am chris 11th and lee goes nigeria. by piece and see you next time and send cute all of you for joining us. we'll be back next week with more insights on each direction. i am sandra co homes that we nobody will sign and go from complex, right to in uganda. by the
