the news, what do you think? leave us a comment for life, and don't forget to subscribe to our channel, the a quite a few environmental activities. the realize that slowing down is one way to leave more sustainably. we'll proceed how simplifying our lives and thinking creatively can reduce our impact on the not through weld. welcome to eco africa. i'm krista lives in lagos, nigeria, the modem was culture of convenience, has a very damaging effect. what if we do things differently? i am some drug of homes that we know do. joining you from complex,

right to in uganda. here is what we have coming up and inventive use of risk. i quote robust under was a new gun and ations fishing method still use of the cost of denise yet. and an artist who believes that even from the launch is the key to include life. but we begin to show in the democratic republic of congo, a country that fences multiple environment that changes from the impact of mining deforestation. on the 14th to water pollution, we went to like cube on the border to run to, to meet a young man was trying to clean it up. joseph hydro banga isn't that good move. even though the job he's doing today is not exactly fun for several years now. he's come out regularly on lake keyboard in

use the rogue boat. together with other members of the green helmets team, he collects the plastic weight. let's go face it out with teen. it was because this is a routine for me now. every week i set aside 4 hours of my free time to clean up like even the cut them don't do much. i cherish this lake. i was born here and grew up as it's part of who i am today onto the truck. yes, they do, most people see but it's badly clogged up with plastic. rubbish also lines the color river which feeds into lake cuba here in the city of because of environmental experts. you've learned that tom papa has long been monitoring the problem. the garbage is contaminating the water and he's concerned about the impact of the worsting pollution on marine life liquid se, counseling, not easily disease, surpassing the consequences are enormous, not only for the human population,

but also for the aquatic population. so mid the sick and for rule i believe this should be a nursery for fish, and a young patient comes here to reproduce. don't see, but unfortunately it's a place that's already polluted here. so these fish, of course, have to leave the area. yeah. problem. why is it west so slow to believe that the fleet, a citizen of the democratic republic of congo has no functioning waste collection system every day? thousands of tons of plastic waste and up in illegal landfills or strewn about the place. the situation is increased catastrophic in many parts of the country. locals have recently noticed a significant decline in dumb bozza. a saw dean that's native to like cuba. populations will likely continue to dwindle unless the lake is cleaned up. this would have far reaching consequences for those who live from fishing here. this

makes the work of the green helmet activists all the more important dozens of garbage collectors, comb, the city for plastic bottles and take them to a collection point where a man of off the team pays them accordingly to the amount they've gathered. a bag of garbage such as the equivalent of just under one year old guy, the 90 say this work and helps me a lot because when i collect the bottles, i help my family to get a quote from the bottles of then sorted by brand. the aim is to best way to the companies that to make them to support the initiative. the plastic that's collected is then used as construction material. this floating platform produced from bottles was made by the young activists. the plan is to build a much larger project based on their model t laptop. you will be an artificial island over 1200 square meters in size

and set in the middle of the lake city. so you will implement any cities to that. this is where we're going to set up the initiative called de la, told pete off walk, which will be a hotel complex. it will have 6 guest rooms and a multi purpose whole way conferences can be held to raise awareness of the problem of drastic, but usually the police fuels principal at mullin, police helpless teacher. but in order to make that happen, they need to collect 2500000 plastic bottles. that would be a lot of woods, but the green helmet group is nothing if not due to event a fishing tech specialist on school. and especially when it is done using palm leaves, it might not sound as efficient as using nights, but it is an ocean to fishing method, but it's still practiced in to me is, is click on the island. exactly sandra,

where there is no shortage of palm trees. it's called stuff the fishing and it's especially environmentally friendly. our reports are when bad to find out how these amazing tradition works and if it can survive in today's well the sea is alika board 2nd time. today he's once again heading out to going fishing, using an angel technique found only here on the kind of islands, often busy as east coast. it's cold, sophia, and involves catching fish with the help of palm fronds. almost shortly. for lenny i'm, i've always worked at sea. when i was a kid, i went fishing with my dad, the unavailable, and when i finished my studies and returned home, i automatically went back to fishing. each fia is arranged as a triangular barrier. the palm fronds can be seen in the charlotte waters all around the occupy, like a fishing technique relies on titled comments to drive the fish into the traps.

unlike fishing troll is the shot fia don't. com, the marine environment. instead they preserve bio diversity. they have an active, but i think, but i think the problem with a dragnet says that they don't allow anything to escape with the palm branches, fish, find holes to swim through every hotel and doctor's treating people. it's friend . i mean guinea does is also on board. he's not a fisherman, but an artist. and he's fascinated by this ancient fishing technique. traditionally, it involves the use of date, palm branches for guinea does they to a part of the kind of islands, cultural heritage in his studio, he creates various products to sell using different parts of the palm. this little thing that he has, by the basis of the care, kenny and sha, see a is a cage that inspired me to create decorative objects for indoors and outdoors. i

tried to retain the original look how was i that he sees himself as an impass of the official fear. in 2020 unesco, declare that part of humanities, intangible cultural heritage. it's also linked to angel traditions and cultural practices. up on i was using this method as a basis for my project without really knowing how it works. if you, once i learned more, i fell in love with the c panel. but times have changed some now use plastic traps is that cheaper others of abandon the practice altogether is time consuming. and industrial fishing has decimated fish stokes. so the hole in the shelf here has also plummeted. but some fishermen are actively campaigning to preserve the tradition, especially because it works in harmony with nature and the palm branches get fish

somewhere to hide and live. it's an ecological method that preserves and respects the environmental health via this fisherman. the lead shot fia will continue just on the test of time as the fish cool this way a far superior to the catch from industrial fishing. good, what's the sure brought to assure a live? that's why they're considered to be of better quality than those caught by other means, you know, you to put on high quality fish is an important source of income for the occupant of go on an added draw of a tourist to visit the islands. but for allie, a couple, sophia fishing is more than a trade. it's positive, good can, is unique cultural identity. that's now at risk of disappearing. well, let's look at the past all our ancestors. how to shop to obviously if government, if the view you come in, they would build it up over the summer months. it shouldn't them. but today, having a shots here requires significant financial capital. and for the money that many

unable or unwilling to invest. and so she fishing continues to dwindle, even though it's so sustainable. from fishing, or fishing to mode and agriculture all over the world farm is angry and have been taken to the streets to protest. what are the reasons for their rhonda and what exactly do they want and what unites them? and what those the climate have to do with it. let's talk the investigation in euro thomas has been out protesting, seemingly non stop eliza, your rep from portugal to not for you to remain here from the know me. there was so many specific e rooms, $5050.00 of them, and then the and we can no longer produce at low prices. and so if you called you about people, obviously, so it's, we want things to change because this business has a passion in france and germany, the demo's have focused on the reduction of diesel subsidies. he's a,

how could i add these bismark with cultural diesel, refunded one cent per liter, meant to reimbursement of 25000 years for us to have some of the best. if we lose the subsidies now i really don't know how we may kind of meet thomas in greece is still reading from floods in 2023 and one foster compensation for damage from natural disasters and hungry and poland. farms were angry about impulse of cheap grain from ukraine, of to rushes invasion, the wave terrace on ukrainian grain and to produce as a measure of support. the purpose of the government didn't talk to us about that. we came to waste time to share the power of pilots vomas'. i posted the new car, the diesel subsidies flood damages will grain and pause, farmers feel abandoned by that governments. and from a financial perspective, this might well be true. since the fact that over time agriculture tends to shrink, revel looked into other sectors and economy stuff on the phone. chrome on telemundo

is an agricultural policy economist and a consultant to the world bank and several national governments. and this is true almost everywhere in the world. i can't think of any real exceptions. the european fonts are dying out, decreasing by roughly a search since 2005 still 8700000 people worked in europe in agriculture in 2020. and that doesn't include seasonal workers, thomas worldwide face higher rates of mental health problems compared to the general public in europe in the us. the foaming population has shown elevated suicide rights. being of hallmark smoke only having the job as a file, but really. ready giving, giving all in agricultural, economist marie from my us, our research is the social side of sustainable feed systems. it's a way of life, and that's why it so much, not a bubble. small problem as a struggling us, they lose relevance in our economic system, which in many ways, stocks against them. the well across the value chain is not distributed

enough fairly men of yvonne, even a flux. it's a sudden ration. advocates for european farm is conform walker's 30 day notice and the thoughts manufacturers of good things like the biggest share of the volume, which is produced in dougherty for to set the door and bottom of the info on what goods which are like in the bottom of the book this probably would change. giant supermarket chains have most of negotiating power for prices. european commission sub i found the on my school you food chain supplies reported experiencing at least one form of unfair trade practice. be a student of could be a miserable crisis, have all boxed to the want or corporations care about nothing and only about price says, you model, you often price us. then the or international trade deals like the proposed e u mce store agreement with less than american countries. farmers say to increase

t agricultural inputs produced follow a standards most of the of the, the door allowing food. and that's not made the way we do it had with us all small, the price negotiations with supermarket, some manufacturers and not coming well. like on this to be sure is we're asking for all this to be put on the table. and for swift, concrete responses, both hoppey the because the talk it's about frustration is usually the you commission in brussels, which controls another thing. farm is present, become an agricultural policy or c p for shots. the system was launched in 1962 to do with post full food scots, the t in europe, who most 3 quarters of the c a p budget goes to direct payments for farm is the payments are calculated based solely on how big the form is. this means the policy rewards industrial firms which tend to be monoculture, corporations, for example, one of your biggest arable farms is awkward cost, a romanian serial producer you

a e invest as voltage for reportedly between 2 to 300000000 years for the phone gets over 10000000 annually and e u. subsidies. romania exports in large majority of its grain, meaning the you from these must have fonts is not benefiting the local economy. and most europeans farms of small aging family farms with less than $500.00 tons of land. you're going to, the generation is afraid to pay off on many eros game when we even get the job later on. if the lower is implemented as planned, he's influence us at the full dot, one complex and a full, ready and to climate goals. europe has loved the plans to become the 1st climate mutual confident by 2050 agriculture is responsible for more than 10 percent of tied to in your greenhouse gas emissions relative to the size or the overall economic importance of the sector. it produces disproportionately a large share of greenhouse gases. the european commissions responded by launching

its own green deal policies to make fruit systems more environmentally sustainable . we can't afford kind of to think about the ext uh, issues of like environmental protection like body diversity, like ethical issues. many of the european farmers protests have targets at ease greendale policies, such as phasing out diesel subsidies, reducing factor lies room pesticide use, and setting aside land for bio diversity. they say the rules don't compensate them for the income blocks. so that taking too big a share with about and the problem with the policy is that it is a bit, gets a frantic. i'm, if it's meant to be income support, then you should think, you know, we should be targeting smaller firms with low income, more and not the big farms. but if the policy is to reduce bombings, climate to impact well then big firm should be getting more payments because

a big farm is affecting the environment on a much larger number of factors. the protests have had some effect from dropped to its fuel subsidy costs and the you scrap to plan to reduce pesticides. and you trade support for ukraine now contains a measure to prevent too many ukrainian products being sold in the states. but it would take no to help from us and address climate change in the long term, such as limiting e legislation to the environmental aspects of agriculture away from farming subsidies. the income support is in the european union, a national policy priority. the social policies or national priorities that shouldn't be coming from brussels. in that case, each member state would support its own farm, is it would have more flexibility and shaping subsidies which could support smaller farms and create incentives and financial support for more logical practices. can

seem is, would also have to change that habits in the u findings. environmental cost isn't fully included and fee pricing changing that would shift the pressure on low income households. the policy makers are going to have of to find ways of buffering that and distributing the load, but the load has to increase. meanwhile, smaller farm is a hoping for a big a c to the table with some of the, the best on doing it with people who work with the, with nature about salt passion can you, can you to people who manage this to attend office as well the unfortunately, they don't even know what nature is best succeed, then that's true. we have probably minutes pools into the set up present. that's actors or model is um i'd be interested in keeping model is that that the school the by differential ones, maybe much shaping called the political agenda. if we want farmers to be able to provide all fits sustainably. it seems that the current system that favors the

biggest players will have to be fundamentally reformed. in all next reports, we had 2 fronts. to beat a pharma was perfectly happy. the only use this old fashion messed thoughts that most farmers this, these do not have time for those months. even have a track to both the police and respecting the environment that lives from the land at tries completely self sufficient. meet somebody luis who has never attended school or taking up a job. he lives in brittany, getting by with almost no money, but we need to cancel the environment. basically what we need is uh it provided for us by the soil. and if we know how to foam it be, can leaving a beautiful environment or does the 7 year old use this traditional tools to attend

to the 3 heck just blocked by using old fashioned ways. he avoids using, you know, gunning from inputs and equipment which from the biosphere. some, when he gets his various food supplies from the, from vegetables grains and even bread, by rejecting consumer resume. he prefers the coast, if anything he's got in and being fully sustained bite, eat this document the same. what interests me about spending less time watching for menu. because for me it seems like a cycle of poverty and destruction of my environment. these folks, the office, someone on the, on the moon and they wants to have time to look up the leaving things. people. environmental sustainability is key to sign in. but for him it's even more important to share his knowledge with us. he publishes themselves books, but teach people how to take care of the environment. someone is leaving his dream, a simple life, and living in harmony with nature. and mission is to try and who address

develops. and just to tell people, particularly younger people, you don't necessarily have to destroy the environment i'm interested in cataract. uh, in a way is as much a taste as of pharma on next report features. and now the crossover between the odds and the environment. it takes us to uganda over now to sandra. i think it creates no income pull out only 5 percent of god, which is recycled. and the streets of quite bundling dated august on the zinah island. and now what can you trust is the results. she doesn't even phone to have a key to views for rumba sanders, but people have thrown out island level can. you is combining a passion for ox. was careful her environment, collecting, discarded, flip flops is the 1st step to process. she has invented to turn plastic pollution into something useful. uganda like many places around the world is listed with

hundreds of thousands of classic flip flops. this one, this farmer pulls out of his field is about to be given a new creative purpose. newman, there were some i surprised this girl collection and we see her getting our beautiful things will die. so never kenya tends to flip flops into paint, which she uses to make works of arts and other objects for the offices. it's a way of coping with the mess. people have been making of the world around them besides the saving of that environment. um, as we are promoting cultural recycling in our country. so this would be, could be something very interesting if either of these can actually come on and try it out. as her flip flop collection point, never kenya begins to reclaim the original bright colors that's entice people to

buy the food with in the 1st place, scrubbing the flip flops by has and leaving them in the sun to dry is a laborious job, but it's crucial for her project transforming them into art materials. back in the studios, she uses a bell sending machine to reduce the food with to a fine dust, which she collects and mix these with a bind to to make paints. with such as a variety of discarded slip slopes, never kenya has been able to create a pallet of both colors with which she express herself. she has also brought in other materials into her artworks such as stripes of discarded vehicle tires novel kenya is making a name for himself in the compiler all 12 and internationally with the auction makes from flip flops of slippers, as they know locally hot technique is so unique and there is and that's why i

laugh, i love it because of that text. yeah. and another thing is, um, sure. cause of that environment. so by using the past and t as, yeah. instead of binding and, and, and, and filling them my way back to that, that she turns them into life. never kenya, hurts that. how often raise awareness of all effects a nature and change people's attitudes towards per adults that we no longer have a useful tool to save nature. people have mismanaged with a lot, and we're here to tell them that this can be interested around and after the functionality that they actually know about, they can maybe do something else on these. this is an ending life and ending life.

besides her paintings, allen, the 10 year also designs and adult inspection items. the uganda and office is located at more useful, higher recycle, with so many flip flops still to be removed from the environment. she says she could produce south space as well. i'll bring the idea of making things by hand and making things that last we should all be doing more of that. we hope you feel as inspired as we are by our report this week. i have chris a lives in nigeria, a thank you so much for joining us and don't forget to head to an equal offer go online slots phones for most stories and, and drop us a line of eco od data, the dot com. i am sandra holmes, that we know deal signing of from complex right to in uganda the
