the board. as i m, sandra holmes, the 3 nobody you write to income plot you can do, here is what we have coming, get the quotes and almost income. they were using voucher reality to help the boys. they use a young interesting you, you'll be a, with a stylish solution to plastic pollution and how small scale farm is kind of for the toothpaste. dr. diesel, we've clean solar energy. let us begin a ride to in uganda where many communities are named via the amount of plastic with that is littering. the streets, clothing see was on the humming the environment. organize with management could help a lot until then it is up to people like, you know, plus people to find creative on wanting ways of dealing with these plastic blake.

life. you know, there could you come to, you can, is anything but easy. but the door is covered as no phone. the weight on money collecting plastic bottles. the company's lead touch with them, including the small patch of land where she grows her vegetables. she sells the plastic west to a recycling company. who was the moya, on this topic about $24.00 euros a month. a cool me 5 by a ways to stick bag sima you sent me. i think i get 24. you are letting me. but it has to be heavy. duty is covered up flood war to not keep a provenance in democratic republic of congo. about 8 years ago. she's one of the about 1700000 refugees living in new condo, most come from neighboring thoughts, done the democratic republic of congo and broom, the country that i've suffered under conflict and civil war. as a result,

you've done that is home to the largest surfing the population in africa, meeting the daily needs. these like huge challenge. no duties of you guys touching over in the to young body, the food you settlement in west a new gun to that is the west collection point close to her from her garden. the payment arrives. those points on her mobile account. she can use them to make purchases and shops or get a cash disbursement. the need to come out for us to get to these people bring more plastics. it helps the environment. you know, the plastic chunk, the environment, and the plastic. this was the sort of fatality, the so it loses its flexibility. if we continue to collect and elastic decided we gain it's fraternity, no. normally with a problem was already turning plastic recycling into a business. that was the idea of vent a premier upfront gucia. he and his team also developed the of which went online

a year ago in 2 locations in the city of dean j, an eastern new gund on here. either if you do come in west of the country and for equal plus time, this is just the beginning. we think it's possible to, to hall, but to this, more than a 1000000 refugees engage in recycling as a business. and i need a small de la in the uh, from plastic recycling by putting the environment. if we can do that, then we assure that we are heating the triple bottom line, which is the people climate, and enforced by the doors. plastic has been brought from the come to the companies factory via come products. this is where the plastic is shredded and melted and then turned into roofing tiles. the tires are lightweight and cheaper to produce the conventional play tires and they can be dyed in various colors triplicate,

the appearance of natural clay or concrete. they've already been used on several roofs in come by. as we make them a 100 percent from plastic west they a brick red. they look like a normal crate, as by the way, by the a tooth ends, lightweight with 0 breakages and reduce the cost of construction loss. the company recycled more than half a medium kito swath of plastic bottles. that's a lot for a small company. but very mex, a dent in the roughly 220000 tons of plastic waste. that's produced every in the country. so far that you've done and government hasn't come up with a plan to reduce plastic use. and there is no national recycling system to the dismay of environmental experts. you do that on searching? i think it is that around less than 3 percent of the plastics are being recycled and the rest is being displayed. the is being thrown into the environment

as a result of plastic waste is a problem across the country. it's mainly local organizations that are trying to stem the tide. in this young, bloody effigy come the n g. okay. international brought echo plus styles on board to help with the plastic recycling. what is good involved in the company? no more than 1000 refugees are taking part in the trash for caution program. the end you as also noticed that the program is making a difference. we have to do with the nearest ups when such intense or plastic corrected or by the video over the last 3 months. that is a lot in terms of their voice, you know, toner, plastic and being corrected in terms of removing it from the environment. but you're looking out to and every time that we have you visited for the cortex. as for the, i'm going to get as for the plastic recycle, as for those who are picking press because the source of income with the us any

incentive more plastic waste is now being collected for recycling. if you don't have a front can with dish up, pays a visit to, to young lady is us to show how the up was on. so many refugees here ability to on a small income mix like huge difference. and of course the, in this kind of, most of us, the single mothers we no longer with a whole bunch of them. it's like they abandoned us with the children's does yet. but this business has helped us stuff because we have something to do every morning with trunk can, will you show me and doty is viewed, i have both inbox in a new past and it's paying off the entropy and you guys know, getting in touch with other organizations so that he can launch is program even more if he comes collecting west plastic is one thing preventing good is another way of if you'll be in next to meet an answer for you who's settled to reduce the country's addiction to plastic shopping box does right sandra and how

company is not just talking pollution in a stylish way. it's empowering women and creating jobs in the country is capital eco friendly and fair bags for men, women for work or for going out and produced locally in ethiopia? impossible. well, not for cute is just by a cute is found it to be up here in 20. 19, in this suburb of addis ababa, she just created 31 jobs for women. microsoft, the women are weavers and work from home. she just comes regularly to collect the fabric they make after this we use these fibrous for different states, defense of fox. so we combine it with the beta. she just had the idea to start a business 5 years ago. at that time, she was a student and she was living in this area which is known for this big dump site in

2017 a land site on the site cause the death of at least 130 people. after this event, she just wanted to do something for the neighborhood. one of the reasons why that happened with the existence of plastic function, the garbage dots, we get the concepts escalator back. we start with at that time, if we produce environmentally friendly shopping box like step our body shop. each box, we can replace draft each box. but she soon realized that the initial capital needed to produce paper or fabric for shopping bags was too high for her. so she looked for another way to create jobs here. i know this will live around here and that, and also the incidents happen outside in this area. so i wanted to create that are for sure if you for going to leave around here to non you was one of the 1st employees of cheapest. that is very uh, i'm trying to see if uh she due to the fall break as i want it or as i trained. huh

. so it's ok to non you. it looks after 3 children. this work allows her to provide for a large part of the family's needs. with the money she's giving me, i pay the rent for my house from. i also have an extra job to ensure ruba has to do with the money from that i pay the rest of the food it's it's, it's all done on a with the fabric made by the women. she just returns to her office in the city center of addis ababa. the bags are been made in this small room, cheated itself $60.00 to $75.00 bags every month. to cope with the crisis and to reuse the leather straps, she started to sell smaller and cheaper objects. like wallets were bracelets. she also often works at night to sell her products in a concert hall for the future. she dreams of selling more and more bags to create more jobs for women. and in the longer term,

she wants to relaunch her idea of ecological shopping bag. building up a small business can be a real challenge, especially when you're trying to be sustainable as possible. great solutions. i often still also find out she'll reach for many, but it doesn't have to be that way. let's go to set a gun. now when i'm in the opportunity that project is helping small skill farmers make the leap to clean energy, it's a desperate scene. the water tank is bowen, dry, the ground water pump is broken, and the diesel kindest is empty. all abandoned by a senegalese pharma, overwhelmed by the effects of climate change and rising fuel costs. it's a growing problem here. is it going to they are farmers who use 1200 meters of diesel to irrigate a single heck to of agricultural that company. we are in the i s region in

north west in senegal region stretching 180 kilometers between the capital call and the city of san luis. it is the country's vegetable growing hub, but it's raining, less and less here. and the ground water levels are dropping. so young cool button d'ye it is currently cultivating potatoes and onions. honest. 3 is picked up, blocked, but he's also managed to cultivate overseen and other vegetables on this land to. until recently this antiquated diesel generator was a small hole, does only means of pump the ground water onto his fields. now he has 9 solar panels to this clean energy is helping him to save money and keep his business afloat. the following up,

before getting the solar found out, i was facing enormous difficulties because my diesel problem because old more than 60 does of diesel and often broke down man. but with the installation of the solar panels. my consumption has dropped quite 20 meters, photos of my current every day to my new hire farm using solar energy. but i can switch off the diesel generate at noon and just use the solar power for the rest of the day. loses young coal button d i boat, the solar panels with the help of a small load equivalent to 6000 bureaus. thanks to support from a state bank. the only has to be paid off of the loan. the loan was broke, good by an association in t is in the south of the region that represents more than 20000 vegetable farmers. mom, i do the i a has managed to secure a micro credit for solar panels for about 300 of his members by a certain angle, lease financial institution. the long term goal is to d,

carbonized bombing in the region and save livelihoods in the face of the climate crisis. seem to know it's a problem if we don't modernize our ways of working and take into account of wiggling water resources. that's why we have to introduce solar panels so that farmers say money conserve water supplies with ad save jobs. drop got did not know that liaison block when you go to the zone. spilled diesel, contaminates the soil and kind of get into the ground floor to like other farmers. young coal button b, i is confused. yes. think about the benefits of switching to clean energy for mazda and get, i know what, what, what am i doing to boost the hospital that we have had and cause about the harmful effects of using diesel? it's not just a smoke, the fuel can also pollute the ground and the harvest. but the pharmacy was to lose diesel. don't have any other choice anymore because anything, any more i'm on. when like i'm saying, the guys up ask us all of the new money. additionally,

i wonder if i'm any more diesel on my feel. i the if i had 5, so like whether or not they, they, they, they thought it all but the small whole the content for to do that. that's, i'd say, according to agronomist amount will do so from the senegalese in g o n, deaf food willed. so says the micro finance system they've as big commas. the slow season going up, so simple. while i lived within that is the interest rates are often a problem that they often too high. and that means that the producers frequently don't have the flexibility to commit to such an investment. davis is my that when you, what it is, or what we are seeing is that people with more capital than the small hold, the other ones profiting from this kind of investment northeast one of the people, if you knew a positive that is more affordable solar facilities like young coal button b, i is good health regions. pharma survived the new. yeah. yes. region is also

crucial for food security. this for the child coastal strip produces more than 60 percent of the tenant goals vegetable. rapid climate change caused by human behavior had been effect all over the world on extra pull takes us to a place that's having to deal with too much water rather than to lead to venice in italy is assessing rising sea levels while on the same time its foundations, us thinking the was from a city has already installed high tech flag, gets bought the a wondering easy enough. the venice has fascinated the world for over 1600 years and for just as long people have been scared of floods or worried that the city could sink into the sea. this is the latest attempt to

protect venice. 78 metal barriers that can be raised to separate the sea from the laguna. the system is called most single triple symbol. if we hadn't had moses the dentist would have been irreparably destroyed on november 22nd over 2022. it was the 2nd highest flooding history quote, but nothing happened to them. we were able to protect the lagoon and vanessa del provide long ebony so, or elizabeth to spits has already given the order to raise the barriers over 50 times. less to compare, search, see, and she's having to do with increasingly frequently. so the jeanette authority the most that we now know that most it is a flexible instrument that does not always have to be opened and nor at the same time, sec danville. so today we know much more about black than wind. so we're in a position to act again. flooding that out within 50 has the most a system only partially to guarantee the exchange of water between the sea,

the goon, it'll come very easy to go for the amount of that does that mean venice can be saved? climate experts predict that the sea level could rise by 60 centimeters by the end of the century. the oceanographer gate arc when the keys and says that most it is just buying time the most else. and he's most the enough to see tennis game. a man, yes at the moment seen so definitely in the next 1020 or 30 years. but if the sea level rises by 50 centimeters, and it will have to be used 300 to 400 times past once a day 1st, i mean it wouldn't manage to shop that. it moves, it won't be able to cool as a structure. but nora within like, couldn't manage it because it needs the exchange of water. uh, did i won't it? but often house gosh, marco single vinny from the venice institute of marine sciences is researching the lagoons ecosystem. he says the frequency with which most

a is being used has not yet had any major consequences. but this could change if the lagoon is separated from the sea more frequently and for longer periods of time of the to the time. okay, so i'm going to sort of see it couldn't be that at some point, we'll have to decide whether it makes sense to maintain the lagoon is a salt water lagoon or no, i don't see the long closures interrupt the cycle between the sea and the lagoon. which is fundamental for venice and we're all open to them. you know, it's what creates the lagoon floors open, which determines what plants and animals can live. there are the 2, we're going to face talk decisions because they could understand the future. whether to save the lagoon or the city, the nations would ideally keep both the sun marco is the lowest point of venice and the 1st applied the work is currently under way to raise the square the i'm going to my buddy now were raised to

a $110.00 centimeters in the square would no longer be under water because it would manage up to a $110.00 centimeter with like flooding. and that over a $110.00 centimeters come and what was the system would close? so in other words, there would be no more flooding on the son marco he says that venice, as we know it cannot last forever in any case. at some point, the lagoon will have to be separated from the sea. and the venetians will be forced to decide what kind of buy those cannot be rescued. we have to decide what to save some vent investments. there is only one benefit, it keeps my, i'm in a difficult decision. one venetians hope they will never have to make the pad to deal with what level problems may lie ahead. con, really help quotes in girl is around the globe. are trying to understand how to

adopt to an effects of climate change as you about to see some farmers and kind of guessing some innovative, on striking help. it's not your average teaching 8 a virtual reality technology takes a bit of getting used to but with the help of these headsets kind of runing caught in foam, is a learning have to adopt most sustainable practices, boosting their hobbies and their incomes fit to deform us jump in this type of training, plunges farmers into a world where they can practice the methods and practicing helps them understand the challenges better and adapt accordingly that dropped in hello watching hello key learned how to from cotton, from his parents. but now he's willing to try out new approaches. i'm getting new skills. the high tech headset transports into a cotton field for an a must is learning experience. he can see the crops close up

from his desk, along with any infant stations and dangerous pests. the training also shows in some creatures a beneficial such as spiders that feed on the catholic painters that can destroy his cotton chrome. if i'm going to video from any like way right there in the video, we can see exactly what's happening. plus, it's been a great help to us who has been a great help to me. so i'm, i work with a company. my real well in northern cal, marine is the centers the countries cotton industry is the main cash crop growing in the region. and one 3rd of arable land 2 is used to cotton production. many families depend on it to their livelihoods, of 10 minutes specializing, including how the why g, hello keys, wireless for children at school. his wife and 2 of his neighbors are going to help him with the harvest. hokey is planning to put what he learned on the course about

pest control and sustainability into practice next year, when it's time to associates again. is there and if it is a, i won't use toxic chemicals because they caused a lot of problems. muskets i did as a buckle is that these are products, kill all insight and say, but if i have some a useful. okay. it also use that to see think it was like a our animals and that bad for the air we breathe, they're kind of low. a suggest i won't use toxic fertilizes either. i'll use organic fertilizer and i stayed clean again on top. see the farm i learned how to make, how comic pesticide spray on the virtual reality course by mixing name, see proud of with water olive oil, and then this will washing up liquid. it's not on the back of the environment, the chemical pesticides. it's also a lot cheaper the training sessions are organized by the international cut and

advisory committee and financed by the gym and development agency. the g, i said it must have learning individual environment that replicates real world situations is also cost efficient. it reduces the sort of expenses associated with stem to training methods, such as traveling fuel, northern cameron and these, these a 3rd of the rain full of the rest of the country and climate change is exacerbating the irregular rains and drought. i got you up. i look for the sign. it was what it isn't rain, nothing rose, come on. that's a problem. also it is up. we'll see it even if the crops start to grow without rain and they would loss them properly. but that's another one of our challenges will see. the farm is learn how to best top is to colton to preserve its quality and avoid dust contamination. hokey is also started using coal sacks rather than plastic, not least because that means less waste. 250 farm is have already taken part in the

virtual reality cools, and 90 instructors have been trained up to pass on the new skills is climate change . conference. com is with new challenges. hello g. hello key in this family. a team to keep up with the times whether it is high take or low take, or a mix over to the best solutions walk best when they impart the people they are supposed to help. i am sandra co forms, the 3 nobody signing up from complex. right here in uganda. thank you, sandra and i am chris of lansing, lagos, nigeria, thanks for joining us. and do checkouts echo off or go online for margaret star. reason the ideas. see you again. next week. the
