with located the policy, so let me know where to stay and complete them and the response, how did you sign a pin number? oh, i know but, but yeah, we're not a man. as long as people are gray. so next time, there will always be somebody willing to risk everything to get a share of the big money, the hello everybody, and welcome to a new addition of a co operate car. the environment show brought to you by a tv in uganda, gymnast dw, and charles tv rock ca nights, area. i'm crystal lens, and here's my co host, sandra in uganda. hi, grease. hello. everybody is good to have you back with gold. some exciting reports about environmental protection and sustainability coming up here is

a quick look at some of the topics that will be exploring today. what met this someone in the good incentive goals such a unique bias of why the number of cobble a bikes on the strength of germany is set to grow and how a phone go. we point should 5, even the simplest inc, king officer full takes us to africa's west coast funding to save that every year gotten the generates a staggering one point. $1000000.00 tons of plastic waste, but only 5 percent of that is collected and recycled. that's a pretty shocking fee go. well, there is hope, a number of grassroots organizations coming together to see how they can make a difference. let's take a look of the beach clean up is going to be back breaking work

similarly and listened future. well, this is a mission with a difference. these volunteers on from, from beach east of gun is capital across, and not just collecting old ways. this group called plastic punch have a plan. the salting, measuring and cancelling all the items as a weapon to find back against the scourge. richmond kennedy clark group organizes these cleanups, helping with volunteers from nearby communities. so when volunteers come around, community members speak to shoes if you have any issues. if applicant plastics, quality plastics, if you are picking up to face your frequently to face this, we are able to separate the reset cloud list from the non reset. that was because he wants to the most states and department and see that they can be some value from these things. what i've done, finding them, you know what that weighs, what it weighs, such as across call a lagoon had been turned into aquatic waste dumps. would only a tiny fraction of the city's trash being properly collected and recycled. besides

poisoning deland, the deputies flushed into the ocean, breaking down into micro plastics, getting into the food chain and destroying the classic echo systems. and it's from places like color drilling that a big deal of the trash wash is down to prime from beach red plastic punches working as they see the data collection a form of citizen science as a way out of the mess we uh, when dusting between us hello, not not the solution for the plastic solution minutes because this i didn't this high side, they'll be much less come in a higher buy stuff. that's a very good actually be to pull its relevance visa. then once we have close to trace it onto the, is the one the sound, what the police on what this polluted. and also which brian this which campaign yourself. what do you think by collecting these weights that we are able to understand by analyzing what the surface of this $0.40 would be?

where are we on the cell where the surface would be? and that is where we have what i thought called direct our awareness access, and also solution finding f. 100 the data crews team can begin to crucial next phase, helping the local authorities to understand the ways flows and figure out how to stop it ending up in the ocean. so with that data, we are able to tell where the waste is coming from. and the type of ways that is coming into the show and then the one is that there is a couple and then the ones that i know we say couple. so this informed as, as the assembly, how to plan for the monies mental, the waste issue, the citizen science is also a key part of a much bigger puzzle. ocean conservation is one of the united nations, 17 sustainable development goals. but efforts a come back moraine plastic pollution had been held back by lack of reliable data

from from beach and gun. as a microcosm of world wide problem, it's been estimated that we have dumped up to 200000000 tons of trash into the sea . most of its indestructible plastic, some estimates say the rate of increase the triple in the coming decades. the un environment programs as the only solution is to fundamentally change how we use plastic things to groups like plastic bunch done. i became the 1st country to monitor a plastic devry density, according to us guidelines. the data loaded onto a un platform containing the world's largest citizen science data said unmarried let's a officials of gunners, the testicle, service city effort. this very useful that when you came in to the beach, they also compiling data that would lift policy, make us appreciate the value of the activity one to also

appreciate what we are doing to ourselves in terms of nick for him to be just to, to extend that one it doesn't encourage, taught isn't to, it affects a particular life. being able to present 15 pages is of course, also find told a gun, a $1000000000.00 tory sector to quote, meanwhile, full citizens, scientists like richmond kennedy, quite group the hardware because only just begun once to see that data turns into meaningful change. now that we understand the problem to solve it, so we need so new saying, so we need political, will we need investments? it's a waste management system, is what they need to package. and we need lots of how, when this, we are listening to the science, we are listening to the hosting and what the results i given us only makes sense. and we need to know and fast of the citizen sciences of clean the stretches from

from beach and the trash data it has been load. their hope is that if we overly understand what happens to the plastic, we use a discount that we can truly begin to free the oceans of our trash again. well, it seems pretty clear that shifting to clean the fuel is key to toppling pollution . what, how easy, easy to make the 61 liberal, who in london, i've demonstrated a solely dose of community series. really health. that is right trees. no local residents proved lost with vision on determination. it is possible to move away from traditional energy sources. and you know, way that benefits a lot of households wants the new solar panels of the printer is yeah, i'm assuming the street will be producing its very own power residents in east london, lyn much road spends more than 2 years working for this moment. and convincing the

neighbors to get on board to day that dream is becoming reality. the pressure of saying something's going to happen and having that power station post is up in windows. so this 1st moment of seeing it come to reality is, is kind of a relief, it's joyful. we wanted the whole street to basically get the solar panels that was go. we soon realized that wasn't going to happen. like it's going to be really difficult actually to, to even persuade any one of autism. henry pollen done 8 olsteen came up with the idea originally they'd hoped to get the entire street clinton to a great. but some of the roofs are suited to solar panels, and some neighbors haven't yet wound up to the idea. 25 households on lynn miss road are on board. however, i think across britain, there are millions and millions of people who want to solve and put money into the climate crisis. if you can offer a de direct action solution for it, which is what we've kind of created here. then it kind of floats quite well with

the general public given the ican nomic crisis in the country, not everyone could afford to sign up. that's why the 2 artists launched a fundraising campaign that raised over a 100000 pounds. ready and spent several weeks during the winter and living on their roof and filmed it as a crowd fund. wanted to make the streets as the locus of a story. but it also is a kind of experiment, prototype test pilot thing that could help other streets kind of move quickly to act. and that's taken lots of, you know, ideas and failed attempts to find the model that would work. the activists say that government should support innovative ecological projects. mike says to help tackle the climate crisis, we need lots of parts of money which make it really upset the easy for people to

get much funding or to get properly subsidized to, to ton that buildings the houses or the businesses into power stations. when they went home, is that the, by the way, when i hillary power and then it'll stain off, filming the installation of the solar panels. the 1st step on the pump to us. so low road, the neva angela hoops, the solar panels will help slusher energy bills. the, the panels under roof. it's going to be much better for the panels if we can, if they keep going and achieve. and once people say to something, you know, it's on the star to they were, it is really on the stocks and of course, cheaper bills. so now these soon, the power time miss austin le, rarity had that partner

a major british energy company says that pioneer is here in the okay, we've got pretty much like the one of my site dated good systems. so it's really reliant on fossil fuels. so it pink time, so it's like 6 o'clock when people come home and they want to put that in is there's about a few 100 different generate to is that are required by the great, the toilet that demand. what that does is it creates this horrible kind of pollution. and of course it's really expensive on sunny days. and so the pioneers couldn't even produce it, plus energy that can be fed into the grants instead of, sorry for that fossil fuel network, which i'm thinking is decentralizing that great. and instead having 5 thousands of different renewable energy assets that themselves control the grade. and create that flexibility, levy from now on meals like this will be caulked with power that comes straight from the roof. or. yeah,

when the rest of the street see this less 1020 houses getting the solar panels. and i see that you know, that it's, it's a viable idea and that it's not have, right. and then just a couple of off this coming up with a totally pine. this guy did, hopefully more people want to do it. and then we're also hoping that we can save money overall by doing both buying and stuff like that. so the other streets can also get involved. hilary palin, down 8 of the hope this will be just the beginning. that dream is how it to the people everywhere in the city. what's on is power initiative for a next revolt. we as thing in you bought, heading over to germany, where online shopping is a booming market. that means a lot of delivery traffic bots in munich. more and more parcels and now being delivered by a bike. this is why the city has set up a logistics hub because

a bikes on this week's doing a beat. we find out how it is going. the electric, the bikes can transport as much as a small truck, then not only is flexible and emission free means of transport. they're often actually faster than the delivery trucks. that's low. got many streets in downtown munich, put them in certain ones, the gun. see that given the amount of commercial traffic and the fact that we see a lot of potential in a switch to sustainable electric cargo bikes. we're making this a key factor in our overall mobility strategy. instead of 5 companies of warehouses in the call, gigabytes, logistics hub, they transport deliveries to private individuals and businesses. one of the companies into can, provides law small delivering it says the call gigabytes with well,

how much is that is the subsystem minute we have. so the stops that's manageable, it's all the fault drive is it paid by the hour? it's not like other large delivery companies when they're a $120.00 parcels and it's almost impossible to get it all done in a day in our country is kind of actually enjoyed the journey. what comes $500.00 on something is replacing trucks with huge cargo bikes has major environmental benefits. initial estimate suggested the find delivery companies alone could save 6 tons of c o 2 per year. and this is just the 1st step of an initiative that goes beyond manic cost at the cities have a similar projects we're all still figuring it out. i think it's important that we share our experience and learn the right lessons from it. so we're in discussion with other cities. we'll also work together to consolidate our projects. i look forward on climbing a box to us. we can no end of very different topic until all too

often chemicals. i used to get the range of diseases and improve views, but these kind of bodily damage, the environment. the alternatives on the age of kenya is only surviving. so people read for us a phone, but we phone a guest. we is being developed in us type of the laboratory. take a look at these flowers grow well in kenya to well in fact, strike go purple, which we might be pretty, but it's devastating to crumbs it viruses and dry soil and poses a serious threat to harvests as agronomist adults can boil, explain if that part of the take when i know it's kind of caused some damage to a planted pass, then in the fall, as you can see, this move if this tented by this time you have seen i've tried the m, i z, the destruction you've already done. because the say the cd on the ground,

the parasitic plot attaches itself to the roots of crops and then extracts nutrients from them at their expense. they start to wield while the wheat flourishes. margaret key, so nose the problem all to well, which we regularly decimate her mace and milledgeville where you oh hi, ongoing measure from what we've been struggling with the problem of which weed for many yes. why weeks on crops. but the yield was a no good school follow. well, we trying to stop it spreading by sweeping. i'm desperate and the animal waste pullman and distributing it in the field, but it doesn't make any difference. we're go, go myself in season, i've gone to the whole lake open. i will go forward to so that from that i only have a state one bag of ways that can in the but that doesn't even leave enough for me to rebut them. does it make the money or would you, michael? no. but to us and kenyon scientists have identified

a fungus that kills the parasite. it's highly effective, even in tiny amounts, such as might fit on a tooth pick. this discovery lead to the toothpick of project. dorcas kimball, you manage the projects, toothpick company, for a team of scientists produce the fungus that kills the strike a plot. this is we would do not research on the bell controls. let's try go. it is interesting. i'm looks as far on this phone goes as isolated from my wilton's trego. it and it was growing to make them bound control. so initial non is contrary to what we do in this knob is multiply the fung us as much as we can. so that is can 25 to a must, that's can solve the fun lives in great capacities for the last 5 years. ken boy has traveled to villages in western kenya to introduce farmers to the product. it costs about 30 year rose to treat a one acre field until now farmers have been up routing the destructive plot to

prevent its seeds from spreading further. because once they're in the soil, they stay there for years. chemical pesticides haven't proved effective and farmers are left with failed harvests. that's why the toothpick project is supported by a number of n g o's focused on food security. daddy's effect of climate change. the app is warming, the soils warming, and we have seen dry got also moving even to some width as owns and to also some uh for the region. if that is experienced in the high production, 80 ascending means the food in security also is accept. it becomes much more kenya isn't the only country with a strike, a problem. according to the u. n, a 14 african nations are infested with the weed. this makes the project all the more important it's successful. it could be introduced in other countries to. so dorcas can, boy,

is working with ag farm us to help produce more fund going up to them. they could show acute that's can be produced. the at our laboratory is not enough to solve from mazda elk grove. this event, counties, we all find anything. and so that is the reason why we were in gauging we let you know cuz i am produce stuff at the village level can have class pretty prep. the final product production itself is relatively straightforward. the phone goes just needs to grow 20 key. those of rice are cooked and a small amount of fungus is added, then left for $3.00 to $5.00 days to incubate the resulting for to kilos. a fungus enriched rice are enough for one, a couple of crop land. the researches found at that farm as needed to treat the fields for 2 years. that's full crops, owings that was enough to banish the strike. and restore crop yields for small hold is especially, it's a relatively easy remedy that the farmers can apply for themselves.

and we and the program where we've begun the west coast of africa and we to migratory bots, folk to send a go and movie tanya on the areas where they clicked on l. protected were visited the lagoon they simona and set a goal, an area of natural beauty, a new birth conservation area. to see what the protection meshes i've achieved so far. the macro forest of the simone nature reserve. all right, haven't touch 4. foster ray of species. the lagoons mix of fresh and salt water creates a branch environment and a rich ecosystem that's helped to herron's homer and ad. but it's a pre it's a natural paradise. but the local fisherman on not to have negative effect in the like in be that. but if we're not allowed to

fish in the lagoon, then we don't really have any of the options available. coming in, some fishermen have decided to go out to sea and stay as i thought. i think i'm bothering it. i'm not really a good be sent back. i think i didn't want them. sometimes they kept something, but there is no in yes. any patient as in the nature relating. thank you. so it's hard for us now. plus i go like and do more up again. you brian fi lives in one of the 3 villages on the age of the nature, reserve it during october and november. they're not allowed to push here. so the face phone and the lagoon kind of recover. so cold eco got make sure the rules are obeyed. they also ensure they are enough arresting faces for the areas main bird species such as purchase. but last spring, a major problem is that more and more people have settled around the luxury that

they play the probably too long used to have a lot of 9 golf course. so, but land grove would isn't huge to bond, but it's often thought of as probably what it was, but the people here mainly use it's a full construction of what, because they know it's much more terabyte or is this and then, and your other woods. so there is a lot of do far as a, somewhat over is typical piece of data made. so that example like a little way to please. and as the band girls disappeared, the fish populations decline to be the largest bodies showing they put the audio. the e called costs have been working here for 10 years. they were employed by the municipality, which manages the boot. it provides locals with a live, a lot of a growing number of fishermen have started farming voices to compensate for the period when they're not allowed to fish. tourism has also developed with more and more visitors discovering the lagoon. spect technically the bio diversity. it's especially popular with bird watching these tourists are lucky enough,

the spots and all spray a. ready around $2500.00 tourists visit every month and locals with a guide. the visitors helped fund the nature reserve and also boost the locals income or not miserable if i'm to open them. you know, 20 percent of the revenue goes to the women who do reforestation. work for me and then the 2 communities that live around the lagoon get 10 percent each. another 20 percent goes to the eco gasket. are they all 13 of them? and they come from the villages to help us. if you don't remember that this is all very poor song organizations such as bird life international are also active and the nature of the lagoon is facing a range of environmental challenges. elaborately finding menache repair. she lives on the backs of the lagoon. the main threats which are climate change related are

erosion and suiting the locals can see what's happening. they put, we conducted studies in aust, them what they've observed soon. the data f have it on pause. you own it. the plus specially the older people who can compare with what it was like when they were younger. that the concept really presided, because they say they've noticed the story that has become sandia and has a higher self conscious study z resolve tablet. the organization studies also made it clear that the locals will well aware what cost to these problems push down all that d guess go see when we ask them what, what solutions they would recommend? what practices they've noticed that seem to accelerate the problems. and that should therefore be stopped. they themselves said that it's due to intensive fishing and harvesting, show fish in ways that damage the bankruptcy of the fuzzy. did i thought the nymphs come on is actually no cause traditionally a harvested muscles and oysters from the show lines and bankrupt,

damaging them in the process to date, the oysters are cultivated just about the water line. so the backgrounds remain intact. wildlife is not rushing into someone who but with these positive developments to continue, it's vital that the remains a protect area. the time is slung by, i'm afraid we've come to the end of the show for this week. we hope you enjoyed the program before i say good bye. i like to wish you all a happy only day. enjoy the time with family and friends. see you next time. same you agrees, merry christmas and a puffy 22 people. thank you so much for the up so we can get you with with the problem. we hope to see you soon for now, do take care and see you soon. bye. the. the
