[000:00:00;00] the, [000:00:00;00] the hello everybody, and welcome to a new edition of a co africa. 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 son drive in uganda. hi, crease. hello,

everybody is good to have you back with gold. some exciting reports about environmental protection. and sustainability coming up, kit 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 coble e bikes, all the strength of germany, is set to grow and how a phone go. we point should slide even. let's see plant in king pulse for full take cells throughout because west coast funding to save every year gotten a generates a sad green $1100000.00 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 prime from beach east of gun is capital across and not just collecting old wakes. this group called plastic punch have a plan the salting, measuring and cancelling all the items as a weapon to find back against his goods. richmond kennedy o'clock, group organizes these cleanups, helping with volunteers from nearby communities. so when willing to come around community members speak to shoes. if you applicant shoes, if applicant plastics or the quality plastics. if you are picking up to face you frequently to face this, we are able to separate the reset cloud both from the non reset. so that was because we want to the most states and department and see that they can be some value from these things. we're not done. finding them, you know what that weighs, what it weighs, such as a cross call

a lagoon had been turned into aquatic waste dumps with only a tiny fraction of the city's trash being properly collected and recycled. besides, poisoning the land, the deputies flushed into the ocean, breaking down into micro plastics, getting into the food chain and destroying the aquatic echo systems. and it's from places like color drilling that a big deal of the trash wash is down to the problem from beach red plastic punch is 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 pollution minutes because this happened in this high side, they'll be much less coming to a higher buy stuff that's available would actually be to collect a relevance visa. then once we have posted, created onto date is to understand what the police on what this polluted and also which brian this which campaign yourself,

what you would say by collecting these dates that we are able to understand by analyzing what the surface of this for defense could be where 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 efforts and with the data quite whose 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 ones that i really say a couple and then the ones that i know we say couple. so this informed is assembly how to plan for the management of 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 dataset unmarried let's a officials of gunners, the testicle, service study 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're doing to ourselves in terms of look for in the beaches to the extent that one it doesn't encourage, taught isn't to it affects aquatic life. being able to present 15 beaches is of course also find told they've done a $1000000000.00 tory sector to quote then, while full citizen scientists like richmond kennedy, quite group the hardware because only just begun once to see the data turns into meaningful change. now that we understand the problem to solve it, so we need so new stance, we need political will. we need investments. it's a waste management system is what they need to package and we need lots of when this we are listening to the science we are listening to the same and what the

results given us only makes sense. and we need to talk to now and fast. and the citizen sciences have cleaned the stretch of pump from beach and the trash date. so it has been long. 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 the shifting to clean the fuel is key to toppling pollution. what, how easy, easy to make the switch? one label who's in london, i've demonstrated a solely dose of community series. really health that is right trees. no local residents proved that we've vision on determination. it is possible to move away from traditional energy sources. and in a way that benefits a lot of households that's was the,

the new solar panels of finery. yeah. i'm assuming the streets will be producing its very own power residents in east london. lynn 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 the goal. 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 us to henry pollen done 8 olsteen came up with the idea originally they'd hope to get the entire street linked into a grid. but some of the roofs are suited to solar panels. and some neighbors haven't yet wound up to the idea. 25 households on limits, roads 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. you can offer at the 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 me economic crisis in the country, not everyone can afford to sign up. that's why the 2 artists launched a fundraising campaign that raised over a $100000.00 pounds the even spend several weeks during the winter and living on their roof and found it as a crowd fund. wanted to make the streets as the low cost 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 active essays itself should support invitations,

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 took it properly subsidized to, to ton that buildings the houses or the businesses into power stations. honeywell, the home, is that the, by the way, when i hillary power and then it'll stain of filming the installation of the solar panels. the 1st step on the path to us. so low road, the neva engine hoops the solar panels will help slusher energy bills. the dependents under roof, it's going to be much better for the panels if we can, if they keep going and the chief and i'm, once people say this happened, you know, some of you started to, they were, it is really on the stuff. and of course,

cheaper bills so now these, so the power to miss austin la, rarity has that partner a major british energy company since 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's pink time. so let's say 6 o'clock when people come home and they want to put that in is there's about a few 100 different generates 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 grids instead of time 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 controls of greed and create that flexibility,

levy from now on meals like this will be caulked with power that comes straight from the roof. so 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. hi brian, that just a couple of off his 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. hillary pals and 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 bought 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 of bikes on this week's doing a beat. we find out how it is going. the electric to go bike can transport as much as a small truck. then not only it's 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 they've 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 cat provides law small delivery. it says the call gigabytes with as well. now 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 parcels, and it's almost impossible to get it all done in a day in our country is kind of actually enjoyed the journey, like on $500.00. and some of them is replacing trucks with huge cargo bikes has major environmental benefits. initial estimates suggest fine 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 munich cost at the cities have 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 blonde till all too often. chemicals are used to get the range of diseases and improve use both these kind of loudly damage the environment, the alternatives on the age of kenya's 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 and can you 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 harvest as an agronomist adult, as can boy explained if that part of the take when and it's kind of caused some damage to a plan to pass in in the fall as you can see this move if this tented by the time

you have seen, i've tried the m, i z, the destruction you've already done because the say the cds 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 keesa knows the problem all too well, which we regularly decimate her mace and milledgeville for y'all's high ongoing measure to some well, we've been struggling with the problem of which we've so 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 dead brain and the animal waste human and distributing it in the field, but yeah, but it doesn't make any difference with google mazda announcing season, i've gone to the whole lake opener will do photo. 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 the monday with you, michael now but to us and kenyon scientists have identified a fungus that kills that part of the site. 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. i don't see within the research on the bile controls and started going into say, i'm looks as far as this phone goes as isolated from my wilton's tray goliad and h was growing to make the mound control. so initial non is contrary to what we do in this lab is multiply the fung us as much as we can. so that is can quantity if i to a must that's can solve the form of integrate 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 uprooting the destructive plot to prevent its seats from spreading further. because once they're in the soil, they stay there for years. chemical pesticides haven't proved effective. and so that is the reason why we were in good thing. we live in oakland produced stuff and they really never opened had class pretty fat. 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 40 kilos. a fungus enriched rice are enough for one, a couple of crop land. the research has 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 end the program. well, we 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. perfect. it will visited the lagoon they simona and set a goal on a real natural view to other birds. conservation area to see what the protection meshes i've achieved so far. the bank growth part of the simone nature reserve are a habit touch for foster rate of species. the lagoons mix of fresh and salt water creates a breakfast environment and a rich ecosystem that's helped to herron's color and add birds of prey. it's

a natural paradise but the local fisherman on not to have negative effect in the leg into 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 instead of i thought, i think i'm buying it and the good because i bank, i think i didn't want to do a lot of times they kept something, but there is no in yes, any fish as in the nature relating, thank you. so it's hard for us now. plus i go like an be 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 fish year, so the face on the lagoon kind of recover. so cold eco got make sure the rules are obeyed. they also ensure they are enough of resting places for the areas main bird species, such as the purchase bar. awesome,

great. a major problem is that more and more people have settled around the luxury that they play the pallet to lagoon used to have a lot of 9 golf course so. but mangrove would easy, huge to bond, but it's often thought of as probably what it was, but the people here mainly use it as a full construction of what because they know it's much more too much, was this and then any other woods. so there is a lot of do far as long as they book a piece of data mit. so that example i can, the way it is, and as the man gross disappeared, the fish populations decline to be the largest bodies showing they put 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 lively lot of a growing number of fishermen have started farming voices to compensate for the period when they are not allowed to fish. tourism has also developed with more and

more visitors discovering the liquid. spect texting the bio diversity, it's especially popular with bird watching these tourists or lucky enough. the spots in our spring. ready around $2500.00 tourists visit every month and the locals with the guide. the visitors helped fund the nature reserve and also boost the locals income. the 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? 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. a lovely 5 min menache with issue lays on the banks of the lagoon. the main threats which are climate change related are erosion, and suiting 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 specially the older people who can compare with what it was like when they were younger that they consistently presided. because they say they've noticed the story that has become sandia and has a higher self conscious setting z resolves fabulous. the organization. studies also made it clear that the locals will well aware of what cost to these problems. load id, guess go see when we offer them 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 for they did. i thought the nymphs go on is actually no cause traditionally of 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. swab like is not rushing into someone who but with these positive developments to continue, it's vital that the remains of protect area for the time is flown 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 opposite engagements with the problem
