a, what is really close ranks? is it worth your p? and the security basically depends to 90 percent from the us out to pont document receive dogs, april fools on d, w. 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 some drug of homes that we know of you joining do from complex right here in uganda. thank to sandra. yes. sometimes it seems so difficult to fix all the problems facing the environment. but 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 pushing back against a single use las they'd the valuable work offices is inside the 1st of the spanish mediterranean coast. and how a 19 year old event are as bringing lights? there's village in malawi, the fall off for us to report the display of bikes. yeah. the nigeria and the vibrant mega city of lake ghost, which as 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. the biggest 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 customers just like us, that's what people say me. so what would it be doing about the people? why would they be doing i can't tell you if i'm happy or sad about the the take away side or some packet is cheaper than reasonable plastic bunky awards. so many customers choose to get their food and the styrofoam that because of the cheap i don't know how the government will go about implementing this band because

it's not our fault. environmental research out to me to find somebody who 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 with that. we're talking about like the informal 6 or recycling companies that the painful and collections of fed for tools and all of that. this was fixed then. well then, if, if 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. all we still lived is very much possible. well, i understand the convenience. the company is 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 walk some less garbage on the street, but they don't know what to can use in place of plastic packages. to me think of lots do it before i make a use or think is no good because it's always love us. but the cost to give us chance to advise so is that we value the desk if you can. those be given to the public assessing people do food you said landlord pop up to canada, whether biodegradable or reusable, packaging. many options out. they have to help with post, we have the plastic waste in dates, there are and some of those will target these. i've been around for a very long time with businesses. so people in southwest the large area while

helping to bring, but also additional food talk to that the school due to natural wear. it was an abundance of the civil thoughts to have faced boots. the properties please, he's little religious ceremony, but you would call it a formal from there to watch. it is a publicity event for blood as protection organized by on a vision and your, the ones people to do these large, highly profitable leads instead of plastic. and my that is doing is related to biodiversity. i strategy projects many of the cost of its kind in line to get them . i did the launch the plant nor plastic projects in the 2015 off to witnessing how single use plastic folder. it's want southwest and they do. yeah. you know it's a is to encourage communities to replace plastic wrapping with the robust bloss leaves of the cut them fair or medical fruit plant also known. but it's letting

them toma to call cause the nearly a wait same day from us import. i'd gotten to have religious with got them to get up. i would say don't want to plan to not come out to because i nearly demented all types of i will need to practice is to ensure that the lives up web long distance was because of i'm not saying that well, no choice to do much already to onto far beautiful food plants, i'm mainly cultivated by women in ca, call plantations as a form of federal forestry plants of thrive into soil beneath the trees. and the leaves going to be harvested every 3 months or you into 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 her colleagues. so preparing being kicks as it is. yeah. so cool. that's you know, the reason why i'm learning how to rep, being tied with leave is to understand the technique of how to read and leave the

but with this i can start filling wrapped food in order to earn an income. what i want, i don't know, transporting the foot long sleeves from the from to local markets can be quite a challenge to buy as of both private individuals and food vendors. we use them as rugs a bunch of 10 to 12 leaves can close upwards of 290 or they prevail into for around 12 funeral. since the trust offers buyers micro credit financing to encourage pickup image area, straightforward is often cooked and dropped in plastic pots. but the customer as 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 they do produces around $2500000.00 tons of plastic every year, making it the 9th was plastic polluter in the was

presently waste problems with the environment. then leave on, the score is about the green cable that the skiff can easily be decomposed. so it's cool. this is seth from the environment on like i'm and for the a mice pool adults like 9 loan by plastic, that stays in the environment for a number of years. since been a junior and government and forced upon on single use plus succeed january 2020 full. the reason not the good reason to use the leaves, it is a chance to turn back the clock and return to a lease with a long tradition here. when you say a 55 fuel, 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, the around the watch has been around since time immemorial. i've done really on the

medical experts have also told us that using testing to that comes with culture, isn't goodness, and the can somebody say for my own debts, i'll call yet all kinds of stuff. the reason that these healthy sustainable resource can be useful more than just trusting fluids with needs in met, seen that kind of fabricate this me into slits i need to call so that instead of using the slits, which is a plastic plastic needs, a plastic kind of completes, to eats, you have a bits our tendency, a bits of shown to use or leave. well needs and shape for you to eat. the groups help to raise awareness of the benefits of these natural substitutes and make a key contribution to reducing plastic waste. molden st. he's done, jeff, suffer from waste problems. how's the shortages are a big problem to rank to

a rising space of sites? fortunately, there are many ideas been developed to solve some of these issues that slide crease in some spots of the water. the tiny house is becoming a trend. as the name suggests, the 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 reduced 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 and one of them. when i focused on top of 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 its minimalism down to a fine arts. and yet a 150 people apply to live here. daniel advised to give a powerpoint presentation before gaining approval housing, discussed 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 have 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 old of on to customers. tiny house, estates, us bringing up all the gemini will scribble and deanna ranges also live 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 hard 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 width and with on the housing market? and that into is pushing up orders for the tiny homes here in northern germany. tiny house is already being used for ukrainian refugees. we meet one family, he moved in here last year. jada possession, considered as a self lucky, even though there were 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 witness apology paid, 90000 euros for it. a john a check to leave a small farm and ukraine. the whole family then moved to germany. her new home is small, but nice and young. a plastic says she can imagine living here with the family for quite a while. we knows not offline, it is getting quotes it bought by how much? exactly, and how quickly a citizen scientist in swain 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 will look sort of back, eunice, go to get a moment. i use these special through monitors that you can lower into the see get uh, buy kind of new apple 6. you have to around 5 minutes of one glass. they flip over, if you spend display of the temperature in the deep by now get on the amount of time to elect them back to that guy 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 spain, weather, permitting. he goes to see twice a week to document water temperatures in the mediterranean. is maybe the receipts. it's my life, that's my place. it's almost like a drug,

a miracle here that ever since i was little, it's through while i heat, i mean the desktop mainly because data like this didn't exist when i was 15 or 20 years old and no, no idea that those based on having reached his 1st, measuring point posts up lower is 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. it's been a little fun. the product, the must continue mode. it's worrying escape because rising temperatures cause the water to expand and with that, leaving the sea level to rise. he loves i think those key. i almost know that we can see this on the beach is like to spend the money a year, the half a meter narrower ingle. i verified 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 the alarm. we at that by star work as 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 and city, i want them to quote, as difficult as i use piteous piano support on 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, you know, 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 dealers have, you don't see them as a so my data in an american trade magazine and compare them to their own findings

that, that they see in the hour. they said now they know their satellite instruments are working correctly. so delete this 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 probe how climate change effects plants and animals and humans especially the arctic is affected, says oceanographer jordy slot, but so is the mediterranean. i need both of them to guess what we're observing bigger changes on the waters surface. then another sees around the world and as you know, there are regions we called 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 noise when of course, it's painful because it's not a natural process or something. you can see how everything's changing, how the, 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. to the full set past qual has no children, but hopes to find someone to carry on his legacy. still, he plans to keep going out to sea and conducting his measurements, for as long as he can from spain we had sold tomorrow. cool 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 results the sun. so low

paul is gaining ground into agricultural sector as most of the raise that means sets up the cover on site energy needs the vacation ponds on little come from. i'm at the last as fills have been pod by the sun for 5 years now. used to rely on pertain gas. if also feel you guys have to buy in the city and you had, you were looking at some we were determined to stop contributing to the damage being inflicted on our environment. or when did so, we decided to switch the solar power up as a clean or what didn't go friendly, alternative or motivator to any. it's a good investments occasion and then that kind, it's more profitable in terms of business and, and better for our machinery this firm is located in can you try and retrieve jenny? didn't know if it's in posit morocco for the past 10 years, with an olive trees of main leaving drawing and assigned a saw here,

which can only be done using trip a vacation. 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, and what was the ad head in the because the middle even and to keep the whole says from getting blocked out of several 1000 euros are invested in an elaborate filter system. the one that is pumped out of the catch space. and it's filtered before being spent through pipes to the fields we'll see on that one the other one, humans that the filters need regular checks and maintenance just because they are vital due process. so sucky anymore, cuz in the document they're especially important for what's known as a localized irrigation that which requires water, that's free of any sort of impurities paint is 70. so upon is required on investment was approximately 80000 euros by the system meets all the funds,

electricity needs as companies like check them, are all kind of hard their work cuts, housing, recent years of technician installation technicians, making regular maintenance checks and looking at them. so they didn't have level after turning on the pump, well, and the water immediately flows into the tank. and what about such as now for the, the tumor which is connected to filters, you to have channels the water to be used for you. regarding the many case you had to have then case you did extinction. so even though renewables are ready subsidized by the government, more, more from us, of switching to solar palm, the last few years alone under that 10000 solar systems have been installed. the model corresponds tech. my rock is benefiting from vase trend to offer solar panels with different ratings depending on how much electricity is needed. use mostly for recreation to treat, put, use on mac bio for to life as well as a says green energy is was the investment. when in suddenly felt the east,

instead of investing in gas operated machine was which are expensive and all that. we cannot for renewable energy that tells you and it's actually very profitable. yeah. know who gets going because within so many years what i can not group the money to pay the equipment to 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 it polezza can kill 2 birds with one stone the n more, while also taking better care of the environment as such a large scale sooner. paula requires a lot of investment, which is slowing installations in many countries. and some places, since they don't still have access to any sort of electricity, a tour as well as one young innovation 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 only 12 percent of the population in malawi, have 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 he 1st observed in the world around him. gun rambles. the gardening, while i'm in the room, i have to do some investigating what am i to understand the whole process. i do come, i use it later, right? collected stones that i used to make them actually wasn't able to do with the system. right. or what do i do? system work it in there 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 these parts of the didn't fight and keeping us appear to find the rules and even defined as the funding mechanisms. ernest and bruce electricity generation project is under revaluation, by the allowing energy regulatory authority. the body says the project has to adhere to safety guidelines. sometimes they as says, our own our own doorstep. thanks for coming along today to take out a co op or go online for most simulating reports and ideas. i am chris 11th and legal slides area. by piece and see you next time and includes all of you for joining us. we'll be back next week with more insights on each version. i am sandra
