them to position themselves between the world's powers. they also mean ending up at the center of the world's conflicts. the clean energy and cutting with a 2 big challenges facing us today. luckily, we don't need to look forward 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. i think to sandra, yes, sometimes it seems so difficult to fix all the problems facing i environments 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 you. all nigeria is pushing back against the use las, they'd valuable work of us citizen sizes of the spanish, mediterranean coast, and how a 19 year old event are as bringing lights. there's village and malawi, the fall off for us to report this. they have right here in nigeria and the vibrant mega city of lake ghost, which as a huge plastic waste problem. it's so bad, the state government as 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 customers just like us, that's what people say me. so what would they believe doing about the, the progress from people? why 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 sire from 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

a passive memo knows how damage and caustic can be. she says, the government has made the right move, even if some will find it hard to adapt. we're talking about like the informal 6 or recycling companies, that'd be painful in collections of pet all 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 ban 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 the 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, the plastic is twice 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 they can use in place of plastic packages. why we think i bought it before i make a use or think is no good because it's always rough. would cost us both the cost to give us the chance to advice or that we value the desk if you can, those being given to the home because stuff and people do food. you said landlord, for them to can you tell whether biodegradable or reusable package in many options out there to help with all those to me, plastic quakes and dates. there are and some of those or policies. i've been around for a very long time with business that so people in southwest the large area helping to bring but also additional food talk to the school due to natural pro is in

abundance of the civil thoughts to have faced boosting properties. this is little religious ceremony, but you would 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 plastic. and my, that is the way it is related to biodiversity. i see strategy projects mean in the 1st up. it's kind a 9, cbs m, i did the launch the planned to nor plastic project in 2015 enough to witnessing how single use plastic folder that's want in the southwest. and they do. yeah. 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 coal cause the nearly wait when the from us

in the villages. we've got them together with the planting of come out to cause i nearly dimensional and 1000 if i remember practices to ensure that it is up where plant that this was because of, i'm not doing that well, no choice to do much already on the far beautiful food plants, i'm mainly cultivated by women in ca, call plantations as a form of federal forestry. the plants of thrive into soil beneath the trees, and the leaves going to be harvested every 3 months. or the multi manually is taking part in the trust initiative together with other women. she's learning how to properly rep food here in the world, in the state of a sudden she started 2 weeks ago today she and her colleagues. so preparing being kicks. this is helpful, this is the reason why i'm learning how to rep being taught 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 foot long sleeves 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 208 or they prevail into for around 12 utah sense. but, so i still fuzz by as micro credit financing to encourage take up. 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 produces around $2500000.00 tons of plastic every year, making it the 9th was plastic polluter into wat presently waste is a problem for the environment. then leave on. the score is about the green cable

that the stiff can easily be decomposed. so it's cool. this is seth from the viral meet on like a me. and for the a mice pulled off like 9 long by plastic. that's the india, a viral main for a number of years since the nigerian government to pose a bond on a 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. it way you see if i thought you the miracle plant lease is very important here in southwest interior because of its health benefit with it. well, yeah. so you will need to go using the lease the route. so watch has been around since that time and the more not done really on the medical experts have also told us that using testing to that comes with cultural goodness. and to can somebody to

say palma, or 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 fluids with needs in met, seen that can fabricate this me into sleep. i mean to call so that instead of using the sleep, which is a plastic plastic needs, a plastic kind of completes to eats. you have a bits, our tendency, a better option 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 parts of the water. the tiny house is becoming a trend as the names such as they of small one room dwellings, but 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 slips one of them. when i finished that type of, i actually feel more comfortable in smaller spaces ones, 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 is good. in many parts of germany, in the post people on a decent income could afford single family homes like these. but now they're in short supply and prices of 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 devoted to customers. tiny house estates, us bringing up all the gemini foods to bill 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 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 which he 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 are what is the 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. and it's nonsense stuff, it's pretty good. tiny house is already in 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. the tiny homes are often built of wood for managed forest digit, the full sustainable, and they have a smaller coffin 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 roommate seating that room has the components of 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. 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 place shock 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 witness apology paid, 90000 euros for it. yeah, and if that check had to leave a small firm and ukraine, the whole family then moved to germany. her new home is small, but nice and young to patrick says she can imagine living here with the family for quite a while. with, 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. the moment i use these special through monitors that you can lower into the see get uh, back on in the process, you have to around 5 minutes of one glass. they flip over the span, display the temperature in the deep by now, get on the condo, let them been up to 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 life. that's my place. it's almost like a drug, a miracle here, the average. and so i was little,

it's thrill heat. i mean that is mainly because data like this. it didn't exist when i was 15 or 20 years old, then no, no idea that those days 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. it's pretty cool, but the sport of land must continue mode. it's worrying to scale because rising temperatures caused the water to expand and without leaving the sea level to rise, he loves and take those key. i almost know that we can see this on the beach. you like to spend the money and they are the half a meter narrower. 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. the fisherman,

like a sophomore, you have come to rely on 50 of them. we had that lifestyle work as closely connected to this data. and one thing if we knew a bit more about at all like he does, we'd be better fishers for sure. who am i the walk in city? i want them to go to cisco. this i use piteous piano support at this deal. there are species of fish that can't 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 brothers 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 get them access to all my data in an american trade magazine and compare them to their own findings . got about this in the hour. they said now they know their satellite instruments

are working correctly. so delete this with you and then coordinate coming 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 slot, but so is the mediterranean. and other than that, 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 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. it's painful because it's not a natural process or something. you can see how everything's change and how the 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 to the full set. pasquale has no children that helps 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. 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 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 in the agriculture will set to as most of the rays. that means sets up the cover on site energy needs the vacation ponds and we'll come from i'm at the less 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 as a new hampshire, we're looking at subs. we were determined to stop contributing to the damage being inflicted on our environment. 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 investment occasion and then it's more profitable in terms of business 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 drawing and this sunday saw here, which can only be done using triple vacation. the know what the,

what we mix in organic substance about the sand and the kind of how to, how, then we put it into these holes. and you don't have that code because how these hoses function is just attribute or has he had even what was the heading of what was the ad heavy and the because to 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 basin is filtered before being spent through pipes to the fields. we'll see on that a one day of the humans that the filters need regular checks and maintenance just because they are vital to process. so sucky anymore, cuz in 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 soul upon is required on investment walls, approximately 80000 euros by the system meets all the funds, electricity needs companies like check my rock. i've had the work cuts out in

recent years. i've technician, installation technicians make regular maintenance checks and look at them so they've had left on pastor turning on the pump as well. and the water immediately flows into the tank. and one of our searches now full of all the tumor which is connected to filters. you to have generals the water to be used for ever getting the men because she has a husband, can she did? extinction. so even though renewables already subsidized by the government, more, more from us, switching to solar upon the last few years alone under that $10000.00 solar systems have been installed the model post funds tech murdock is benefiting from base trend . they offer solar panels with different ratings depending on how much electricity is needed. use mostly for vacation to to purchase or make bio for to life as well as a says green energy is was the investment when in suddenly felt 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 the cuts going because within several 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 it polezza can kill 2 birds with one stone and more, while also taking better care of the environment as such a large scale sooner. paula requires a low investment, which is slowing installations in many countries, and some places seem to don't still have access to any sort of in a trustee. a tool. 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

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 jump jingle. things to this ingenious young inventor. i understand too, to has harnessed the laws of thermodynamics that you 1st observed in the world around him, gun rambles, or 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, i collected 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 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 vicky pronounced clearly defined the rules and even defined as the funding mechanisms. ernest and bruce electricity generation project is under re evaluation by them allowing energy regulatory authority. the body says the project has to adhere to. ready the 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 lee goes nigeria. by piece and see you next time, and thank you to all of you for joining us. we'll be back next week with more insights on east direction. i am sandra co homes that we, nobody will sign and go from complex, right to in uganda,

rushes economy is throwing just twice across the whole and sanctions against the country. there is a 2 percent growth, even though natural gas exports have fallen drastically. so what's driving this? and what role does the china play? we're taking a closer look, made into many in such a minutes on the double, you know, simple way home to substitute direct to acquire them of their

this is the daily news life from the land. russia begins evacuations from the region bordering ukraine. will socrates have released images that show the off them off of a conflict and build the road? pro ukrainian or russian forces have carried out several raids in the region. russian president vladimir putin says he is stepping up defenses that also coming up whoever is in charge of immigration policy in this country needs to step aside. maybe we'll have a snack senior room and let the mon students as us quotes and baffle over the immigration enforcement. our 4th of visits assess the struggle. good thing to cope with an influx of undocumented, my friends and, and.
