a to find out about the roots of the 19 i to put you on the site for games for to see my name is some way to ship. i'm assuming reshaping history. our documentary stops april 6th on dw, 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 environments. what we want to show you how every little bits of progress

helps. i am chris 11 is coming to you from lagos, nigeria, i'm, here's what we've got for you. all nigeria is pushing back against the use las, they'd be the valuable work of us citizen signing 1st of the spanish mediterranean coast. and how a 19 year old invent are as bringing lights, there's village in malawi, the fall off for us to report this we have right here in nigeria and the 5 brands, 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 to 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 say me so. 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 the take away cyber some fact 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 to

meet. so 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 with 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, 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. it's not active, it's the same way. joe believes it can be done. we have warranties, it's all plastic. there was was a 9 do. yeah. without plastic. we still 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 left garbage on the street, but they don't know what to confuse in place of plastic packages. when we think of, but 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 public assessing 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. in dates, there are as 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 while helping to bring back up with the digital phone talk to that

is completely natural. was an abundance of the civil thoughts to have faced boosting properties of this. he's little religious ceremony, but you could call it a formal from there to watch. it is a publicity event for flemish protection organized by on a digging into your that wants people to use these large, highly profitable leads instead of lester and my that is the way it is related to biodiversity. i see strategy projects mean in the 1st up. it's kind, elaine cbs, m, i did the launch the plant no plastic project in the 2015 enough to witnessing how single use plastic folder that this want southwest and they dare. yeah. you know, it's a, is to encourage communities to replace plastic corrupting with the robust bloss leaves of the cut on fat or miracles. fruit plant also known by its letting them

tomato call close the nearly wait. when they from us in the villages, we've got them together. we didn't want to plant enough time to go cause i nearly demented us in 1000. if i remember practices to ensure that the list up web lined up is because of, i'm not doing that well. no charge to do much already to onto far beautiful food plants, a mainly cultivated by women in can call plantations as a form of federal forestry. the plants of thrive in the soil beneath the trees and the leaves going to be harvested every 3 months. or in the mall i manually is taking putting the trust initiative together with other women. she's learning how to properly rep food here in the world in the state office. and she started 2 weeks ago today she and her colleagues. so preparing being kicks as it is. yeah. you know cool. that's you know, 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 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 kind of close upwards of 208 or they prevail into for around 12 to utah sense. but so i still fuzz, by as micro credit financing to encourage checkup in a julia straightforward is often cooked and dropped in plastic pots with customized 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 produces around $2500000.00 tons of plastic every year, making it the 9th was plastic polluted in the was presently

waste is a problem for the environments, then leave on the score is about the green cable. that the skiff con, easily be decomposed. so it's cool. this is seth from the viral meet on like i'm. and for the a mice per adult like 9 loan by plastic, that stays in the environment for a number of years. since the leisure and government to pose a 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 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 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 palma, on guess i'll call yet all back kind of stuff. the reason that these healthy sustainable resource can be useful more than just dropping 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 hip hop to raise awareness of the benefits of these natural substitutes and make a contribution to with using plastic waste. mold in cities done just 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 swipe crease in some parts of the world. tiny houses are becoming of trend, as the name suggests. 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 when i focus that type 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 and the city didn't know stuff. got the washing machine is sick to bleed, tiny with just the t square meters of space. every centimeter accounts, it's minimalism down to a fine. 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 have sold the comp and to move to the on his partner. deanna arranges, this is provided a business opportunity. they build tiny houses when they're finished, they drive them down, the ultimate and to customers. tiny house estates, us bringing up all the gemini pulls to the indiana range is 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 tow pencils 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 with and without we'll just, you know, i mean, why do we insist on the strict rules that stipulate houses in the village have to have red roofs or green roofs or whatever and it's nonsense stuff. it's pretty good . tiny house is really the plus is more many, also a seam, tiny homes are more eco friendly, but that's only partially true. it's certainly the case that tiny homes are often built of wood from managed forest, which is the full sustainable. and they have

a small and called and footprint. then buildings made of countries producing just one ton of cement alone. emit simmons, $600.00 chinos of c o. 2 bod. on the other hand, tiny homes are less energy efficient. even though only a small roommate seating that room has a composite knowledge everywhere as outside was where heat can escape in 2020 team. more than 1000000 refugees came to gemini. that's the increased the pressure on the housing market fund that in turn is pushing up. what is the tiny homes here in northern germany? tiny house is already being used for ukrainian refugees. we made one family. he moved in here last year. yon a pleasure to consider yourself lucky, even though there were 4 of them living in this brand new tiny home. this one bedroom for a young son and a sister window. another for himself, unpack husband,

the witness. apology paid, $90000.00 euros for it. a. yeah, and it says check to leave a small firm and ukraine. the whole family then moved to germany to a new home. it's small, but nice and young to patrick says she can imagine living here with the family for quite a while. as we know, lot applauded is getting quotes. it's 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 less because it's it's just after dawn, but whole set 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, noticed that the moment i use these special through monitors that you can lower into the c k. uh by kind of in the process, you have to around 5 minutes of one glass. they flip over, suspend, display the temperature in the deep by now get on the amount of time to elect them . but i do like a in this, that proof in 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 north eastern spring, weather permitting. he goes to see twice a week to document water temperatures in the mediterranean is maybe the receipts. it's my light, it's got my place. it's almost like

a drug. michel here that ever since i was little. it's thrill i he's, i mean to this time mainly because data like this didn't exist when i was 15 or 20 years old, then no, no idea that those they start having reached his 1st measuring point post 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 produced by the sort of land must continue more its worrying escape because rising temperatures caused the water to expand. and with that, leaving the sea level to arrive, he loves and take those key. i almost know that we can see this on the beach is to spend the money layer, the half a meter narrower ingle. i verified it. a beach here has trunk by 15 meters. since 1993 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 the vital info that fishermen like a sophomore you have come to rely on the field on 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 city? i want them to hold as difficult as i used piteous piano support at this deal. there are species of fish that can cope with the rising temperatures. subadvise, i'll 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 past qual, meticulously notes, the coordinates and measurements then at the local tourist info office. he transfers the data to a website used by scientists worldwide is dylan us have, you don't get them. and so my data in american trade magazine and compare them to their own findings that they see in the hour. they said now they know their

satellite instruments are working correctly, so delete this one, see and then connect them in 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 sound lot. but so is the mediterranean. and other than that, we're observing bigger changes on the waters surface than in other seas around the world. and as you know, there are regions we called hot spots on and the mediterranean is one of them. you know, the new pasquals hobby 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. i mean, how we're changing it and everything's interconnect apart. if there are, even if only a small part becomes the, stabilize on every things thrown out of balance, do it all or nothing. for step 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 to morrow. cool way, schumann 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 quotes 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 res that'd be sets up to cover on site energy needs. the vacation ponds and little come from i'm at the less as fills have been pod by the sun for 5 years now. you used to rely on pertain gas. it full, so 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 motivate 10. it's a good investments occasion and then it's more profitable in terms of business and, and better for our machinery this firm is located in can you try an average range? i need to know if it's in posit morocco, for the past 10 years, with an olive trees of main leaving, joining to send a saw here, which can only be done using triple vacation. the know what the,

what we mix in organic substance. i'm at the sand and the kind of how to, how can we put it into these holes, and you don't have that code because how these hoses function is just attributed already headed. and what was the heading of what was the ad head in the because to middle i even and to keep the whole says from getting blocked out of several 1000 euros way 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. you will see i'm not a one, do you the more he moves. if the filters need regular checks and maintenance just because they are vital to a process or a sucky anymore, because 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 soul upon is required, and investment was approximately $80000.00 euros. but the system meets all the funds, electricity needs companies like tech, my rock,

i've had the what kept house in recent years. i've technician, installation technicians make regular maintenance checks, move out and look at them. so they did have level after turning on the pump. well, and the water immediately flows into the tank. and one of us searches now for the, the tumor, which is connected to filters, utilize generals the water to be used for ever getting hurt in the men because you had to has then came, she did extinction. so even though renewables are really subsidized by the government, more, more from us, switching to solar palm, the last few years alone under that 10000 solar systems have been installed. the model corresponds a check mark is benefiting from this trend to offer solar panels with different ratings depending on how much electricity is needed. use mostly for recreation to, to purchase on mac bio for its 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 all 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 70 years, what i can not keep 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 at the legs a can kill 2 birds with one stone. and more, while also taking better care of the environment 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 in a trustee. a tour, as well as one young getting a veto 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, haven't access to electricity. but that's changing in some places, at least like here in the jump 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. 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 z z a liter i collected with 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 these party, so be able to didn't fight, and vicky pretty as appeared to find the rules and even defined as the funding mechanisms. ernest and reduce 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 op or go online for most stimulating reports and ideas. i am chris 11th and legal snyder area 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,
