so when it comes to sustain dependency information and try and i'd like to text it on d. w, travel, you can have it. what about you? and what's your opinion? feel free to write your thoughts in the comments. the one of the best ways to protect and preserve the environment is through newco solutions that help communities list sustainably. well, we're checking out some of those ideas on this new edition of eco africa. i am chris alliance coming to you from league goes, nigeria, good to have you with us today. the balls is sold to crease initiatives that start from the ground up can often set an example and influence people across the board is i am sandra holmes,

the 3 nobody you write to income prolong you can do. here is what we have coming up . the quotes and almost in town they were using voucher reality to help the boys to be you a young interesting you, you'll be a we've a stylish solution to bostic pollution and how small scale form is kind of for the 3 face, dr. diesel, we've clean solar energy. let us begin a ride to in uganda where many communities, our son named via the amount of plastic with that is littering. the streets. clothing suit was on humming the environment. organize west 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 in, you can ease anything but easy, but don't risk of you does not fall in the way on money collecting plastic bottles . the company is lead touch with them, including the small patch of land where she grows her vegetables, she sells the plastic with to a recycling company. what was the more on this topic about $24.00 euro, who's a month? call me 5, buy a waste of plastic bag. see my yeah, i mean, i get 24. you are let me. but it has to be heavy. i dodi square feet of flood. what to not keep a provenance in democratic republic of congo, about 80 as a goal. she's one of the about 1700000 refugees living in uganda. most come from neighboring thoughts done the democratic republic of congo, and ruined the countries that have suffered under conflict and civil war. as a result, you've done that is home to the largest surface,

the population in africa, meeting the daily needs these like huge challenge. no duties of you guys starting over in the to young body. the 50 settlement in west a new gun. the there 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 to the doc. i'm a blessed to do that to these people bring more plastics. it helps the environment . you know, the plastic chunk, the environment, tell you my best of the plastic. this was the sort of fatality, the so it loses its flexibility. if we continue to collect them elastic decided where to gain it's fraternity. you know, normally with the problem was already turning plastic recycling into a business that was the idea of and to put in your front can be shot. he and his team also developed the of which went online

a year ago in 2 locations in the city of dean jay. and he is daniel gun the and he, uh either if he comes in west of the country and full equal plus type. this is just the beginning. we think it's possible to, to have at least more than a 1000000 refugees engage in recycling as a business. and i need a small de la in the uh, from plastic recycling, quite a clean environment. if we can do that, then we assure that the heating the triple bottom line, which is the people planet and, and personality. the worst plastic has been brought from the come to the companies, 53 me a come part of 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 plate tires. and they can be dyed in various colors to replicate the appearance of natural clay or concrete. they've already been used on several roofs

in kampala as we make them a 100 percent from plastic west. they have great credit. they look like they know more creat dies 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 kilo swath of plastic bottles. that's a lot for a small company, but it's very mex, a dentist the roughly 220000 tons of plastic with that's produced every in the country. so far the gun 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 and do that, i'm searching, i think it is that on the list. so then the percent of the plastics are being recycled and the rest is being displayed. the is being thrown into the

environment as a result, plastic waste is a problem across the country. it's mainly local organizations that are trying to stem the tide of this young, bloody lessons. you come to the n g, okay? international brooks echo plus tile on board to help with the plastic recycling. what is get involved in the company? no more than $1000.00 refugees are taking part in the trash for caution program. the ends 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 opinion over the last 3 months. that is a lot in terms of therefore, you know, toner, plastic being corrected in terms of removing it from the environment. but you are looking out to and every time that we have you visited for their critics. as for the aggregate, 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. you don't have

upfront can with dish up pays a visit to, to young body is us to show how the up was on so many refugees here, the 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 is what they abandoned us with the children's does yet. but this business has helped us stuff because we have something to do every morning who is from can with the show. and doty is viewed, i have both inbox and a new past and its paying off the entropy anyways. no getting in touch with the organization. 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 appear next to meet an answer for you was settled to reduce the country's addiction to plastic shopping box does right, sandra, i'm how company is not just talking pollution in this time this way?

it's empowering women and creating jobs in the country is competent. the eco friendly and fair backs for men, women for work or for going out and produced locally in ethiopia. impossible? well, not for keeter's test by a cute is founded to but the opiate in 20. 19, in this suburb of addis ababa, she just created 31 jobs for women like us. all the women are weavers and work from home. she just comes regularly to collect the fabric they make on the service. we use these fabrics for different states, defense of bucks. so click on manage with the data. 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 dumpsite 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 fonts in the garbage. i got 3 get the concepts escalator back we. so it's at that time if we produce environmentally friendly shopping box like paper box, probably the 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 the elements will leave around here and that, and also the incidents happen outside in this area. so i wanted to create that are frustrated for the women to leave around here. teen on you was one of the 1st employees of cheapest. that very i'm trying to see if she's due to the fall break as i want it or as i trained. huh. so it's ok

to non, you looks after 3 children. this work allows her to provide for a large part of the family's needs. with the money she's given me, i pay the rent for my house from. i also have an extra jump doing she ruba has to, with the money from that i pay the rest of the food it's it's, it's all done on me 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 cheetahs, selves $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 back. building up

a small business can be a real challenge, especially when you're trying to be sustainable as possible. green solutions are often still also find out. she'll reach for many, but it doesn't have to be that way. let's go to start again. now when i'm in the opportunity that project is helping small skill families make the leap to clean energy. it's a desperate scene. the water tank is bone, dry, the ground water pump is broken, and the diesel kindest is empty. all abandoned by a senegalese farm, a overwhelmed by the effects of climate change and rising fuel costs. it's a growing problem here. 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, a region stretching 180 kilometers between the capital cost and the city of san luis. it is the countries vegetable growing hub, but it's raining less and less here. and the ground water levels are dropping. a young coal button d'ye it is currently cultivating potatoes and onions on is 3, is picked up, blocked. but he's also managed to cultivate overseeing and other vegetables on this land too. until recently, this antiquated diesel generator was a small hole. the only means of pumped the ground water onto disputes. now he has 9 solar panels to this clean energy is helping him to save money and keep his business afloat the fall every night before getting the solar power. and i was facing enormous difficulties

because my diesel permit, i'm because older and more than 60 does of diesel often broke down much with the installation of the solar panels. my consumption has dropped quite 20 meters photos that i caught every day to my higher form 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 di i bought 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 broken by an association in t is in the south of the region that represents more than 20000 vegetable farmers. my, my do the, i a has managed to secure a micro credit for solar panels for about 300 of these members by a sending a least financial institution. the long term goal is to d, called an ice bombing in the region and save livelihoods in the face of the time in

crisis seen with the local. but it's a problem is we don't model nice. i'll 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, ad save jobs, drop a, got the no, no, no liaison flop. when you go to the 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, deplete energy for mazda and get that 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 on the thing. 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 hold the content for to do that. that's a pay according to agronomist i'm. i'm a do so from the senegalese in g o n deaf food willed so says the micro finance system favors big farm is the slow season going associated. it will lead to event. that is, interest rates are often a problem that, that they often too high. and that means that the producers frequently don't have the flexibility to commit to such an investment for you to be able to see some of that when you, what it is on. the watch we are seeing is that people with more capital than the small whole, the other ones profiting from this kind of investment. ne, wanna keep your, uh, but 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 vegetables. rapid climate change caused by human behavior have been effect all over the world on extra politics, those to a place that's having to deal with too much water rather than to re to then is in italy is facing rising sea levels. while on the same time, its foundations, us thinking the was from a c t, how is already installed high tech, flog, 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 signal triple symbol. if we hadn't had most a dentist would have been irreparably destroyed. on november 22nd of 2022. it was the 2nd highest flood in history called, but nothing happened to them. we were able to protect the lagoon and venice of del, provide luna infinity. so it's elizabeth to spits has already given the order to raise the barriers over 50 times that much to compare, search, see, and she's having to do it increasingly frequently. so think about the jeanetta, 40 the bell curve feet to remove 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, cent. today we know much more about plants and wind. so we're in a position to act again for flooding it out within 50, has the most a system only partially to guarantee the exchange of water between the sea and then

a good, very easy to go for that model. and 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 says that most it is just buying time for the most house and he's most enough to see fence 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 $300.00 to $400.00 times, that's 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 nor will the lagoon manage it because it needs the exchange of water. uh did i won't it, but often host gosh marco siegel, vinny from the venice institute of marine sciences is researching the lagoons eco system. 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 the time. okay, so i'm going to sorta see it couldn't be that at some point. we'll have to decide whether it makes sense to maintain the lagoon as a salt water lagoon or not that oversee 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 floor southerners, which determines what plants and animals can lived there. advocate. we're going to face the tough 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 of blood work is currently under way to rates the square. the 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 uh over a $110.00 centimeters come. and what was the system would close? so in other words, there would be no more flooding on. so son michael he says that venice says 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 a, by those cannot be rescued. we have to decide to save some vent investment. there is only one bending in it keeps my, i'm been 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 the effects of climate change as you about to see some farmers in coming guessing some innovative on striking count. it's not your average teaching age virtual reality technology takes a bit of getting used to. but with the help of these headsets kinda runing caught and foam is a learning have to adopt, to move 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 their methods and practicing helps them understand the challenges better and adapt accordingly. laptop to me. i love 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 field for and the most is learning experience. he can see the crops close up from

his desk along with any info 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 in the video compared to like we right there in the video, we can see exactly what's happening a 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 call production many families depend on it for their livelihoods. of 10 minutes specialist, including hollywood, g hello, keys, wireless for children or 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, the units hit by at least to buy one used toxic chemicals because they caused a lot of problems. muskets i did honestly, buckle is that these i products kill all insight and say, but if i have some a useful. okay, let's use that to see that goes back to our animals and that bad for the air we breathe that. okay, no, so clone and see if i wouldn't use toxic fertilizes either. i'll use organic fertilizer instead came in on top. see, the pharma learn how to make will comic pesticide spray on the virtual reality course. by mixing name c powder with water olive oil and a little washing up liquid. it's not any better for the environment that chemical pesticides is also a lot cheaper. the training sessions are organized by the international cutting advisory committee in finance by the gym and development agency. the g a is that it

must have planning, 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. the guy 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 truck start to grow without rain and they wouldn't let them properly. that's another one of our challenges will see . the farm is learn how to best top is the cotton to preserve its quality and avoid dust contamination. hokey is also started using 12 sacks rather than plastic, not least because that means less waste. 255 minutes 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, confidence. com is with new challenges. hello g. hello, key in his family. a team to keep up with the times whether it is high take or low take, or a mix of the to the best solutions walk best when they impala the people they are supposed to help. i am sandra cove, who's a 3 nobody signing go from complex right here in uganda. thank you, sandra and i am christa lansing lagos. nigeria, thanks for joining us and do checkouts echo off or go online for more great stories and ideas. see you again. next week, the
