doubts of size the geo political reality. the on the board is what makes things the way they are mapped out. navigating a changing world. now on youtube, 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 olives coming to you from league goes nigeria, good to have you with us today. a. bob is sold to crease initiatives, vowed salts from the ground up can often set an example and influence people across board is i am sandra holmes, the 3 nobody ride to income,

prolong uganda. here is what we have coming up the quotes and almost encounter. we're using voucher reality to help both the you a young interesting you, you'll be a, we've a stylish solution to plastic pollution and how small scale form is kind of forward it to replace dr. diesel, we've clean solar energy. let us begin a ride to en, you've done that where many communities are named via the amount of plastic with that is littering the streets, clothing sue was on humming the environment. organize west management could help a lot until then. it is up to people like you know, foss report to find creative and rewarding ways of dealing with these plastic like

life. you know, there could you come in, you can use anything but easy. but daughter is cuz he 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 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 see more. you said, well, maybe i get 20 for you or letting me, but it has to be heavy. duty is covered up sled war to not keep a provenance in democratic republic of congo. about 80 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 refugee population in africa, meeting their daily needs. these like huge tonnage know duties of you guys to move 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. a need to come out for us to get 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 plastic decided we gain it's fatality, you know, normally with a promissory turning plastic recycling into a business that was the idea of when to put in your front can you shop. he and his team also developed the of which went online

a year ago in 2 locations in the city of dean j and he's done. you've done the 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 how about this more than a median refugees engage in recycling as a business. and i need a smaller door law in the uh, from plastic recycling, quite clean environment. if we can do that, then we assure that we are heating the triple bottom line, which is the people planet and enforced by the doors. plastic has been brought from the come to the companies factory via come products. this is where the plastic it's 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 died 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. um they are brick red. they look like a normal crate, as by the way by the 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 uh 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'll 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,

plastic waste is a problem across the country. it's mainly local organizations that are trying to stem the tide in this young lady. that fidget comes the n g. okay. international brought echo plus tile on board to help with the plastic recycling of what is good involved in the company. no more than $1000.00 refugees are taking part in the trash for caution program. the n g u, as also noticed that the program is making a difference. we have at least with the nearest ups when such intense or plastic corrected over 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 plus 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 we do shop, pays a visit to, to young lady is us to show how the up what form so many refugees here, the ability to on a small income mix like huge difference. and of course the problem in this kind of, most of us, the single mothers as 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 who from can, will you show and doty is viewed, i have both inbox and a new pot and it's paying off the entropy and you guys know, 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 who's settled to reduce the countries addiction to plastic shopping box does right sandra and how company is not just talking pollution in this time this week?

it's empowering women and creating jobs in the countries capital. eco friendly and fair bags for men, women for work or for going out and produced locally in ethiopia. impossible. well, not for keeter's test by a, a cute is founded to be up here in 2019, but in this suburb of addis ababa sheet is 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 fabrics for different types defense for folks. 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 sig, dumpsite. in 2017,

a lance light 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 functions, the garbage, a dot 3, get the concepts escalator back we. so it's at that time if we produce environmentally friendly shopping box like states, 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, and old domains for live around here. and that, and also the incident happened outside in this area. so i wanted to create such a frustrating for the only minutes. we'll leave it around here. to non you was one of the 1st employees of cheapest. that is very, very uh, i'm trying to see if uh she due to the fabric as i want it or as i trained.

huh. so it's okay to non. yeah. 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 given 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 then 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 loves 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 green solutions that 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 scale families make the leap to clean energy. it's a desperate scene. the water tank is boned 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. so going to they are farmers who use 1200 meters of diesel to irrigate a single heck to of agricultural that we are in the ne i s region in

north west. in senegal, a 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. the young cool button d'ye it is currently cultivating potatoes and onions on is 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 fall every night. before getting the solar found out, i was facing enormous difficulties because my diesel problem,

because old more than 60 does of diesel often broke down may i direct with the installation of the solar panels. my consumption has dropped quite 20 meters, photos of icons every gates might 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. yeah, i'm cool about the 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 we pay off of the loan. the loan was broke good by an association and to us 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 sending the least financial institution. the long term goal is to d carbonized bombing in the region and save livelihoods in the face of the climate

crisis. seen with the local on it's a problem is we don't model nice 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, but it adds save jobs, drop a, got the liaison problem, spilled diesel contaminates the soil and kind of get into the ground water like other farmers, young coal button b i is use 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 have polluted 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, i'm saying the guys up ask us all, i have a new menu personally. 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 a pay 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 for you to be able to see some of that when you, what it says, or what we are seeing is that people with more capital than the smell hold. the other ones profiting from this kind of investment piece on the keep your positive that is more affordable. solar facilities like young hol, button d. 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 10 of goals. page double rapids climate change caused by human behavior have been effect all over the world on extra pool. takes us to a place that's having to deal with too much water rather than to re, to then is a 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 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 signal triple symbol. if we hadn't had mos, the dentist would have been irreparably destroyed on november 22nd of 2022. it was the 2nd highest flood in history, but nothing happened. we were able to protect the lagoon and even if the bill provides long infinity, 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 on 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 flags and winds. so we're in a position to act again, flooding that out. within 15 years, the moses system only partially to guarantee the exchange of water between the sea . the goons come green,

did he go for somebody 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 house 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 tons once a day 1st, i mean it wouldn't manage shop that moves. it won't be able to cool as a structure. but nora will the lagoon manage it because it's the exchange of water . uh did i won't it? but often i was, gosh, marco sequel vinny from the venice institute of marine sciences is researching the lagoons ecosystem. he says the frequency with which most 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 remainder of 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 as a salt water, lagoon, or noise at home for see the long closures interrupt the cycle between the sea and the lagoon, which is fundamental for venice, and we're also open to them. you know, it's what creates the lagoon floors open, which determines what plants and animals can live there. advocate. 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 flood. 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 centimeters with like flooding and that over a $110.00 centimeters come and what was the system would close? you may have already done so. in other words, there would be no more flooding on the sun. michael 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 a bite of those cannot be rescued. we have to decide what to say. somebody vent investments. there is only one bedroom and it keeps my i'm in a difficult decision. one venetians hope they will never have to make the pad to deal with what apple problems may lie ahead. kind of really help colton grill 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 count. or 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 in foam, is a learning have to adopt, to move sustainable practices, boosting their hobbies, and everything comes to, to do for much 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 didn't. hello watching hello, who key learned how to from cotton, from his parents. but now he's willing to try out new approaches and gain 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 interest stations and dangerous pass. the training

also shows in some creatures a beneficial, such as spite is the feed on the customer pin is the can destroy his cotton chrome . if i'm in the 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. it's been a great help to me. so i'm, i work with a company, not 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. one of these 4 children at school, his wife and 2 of his neighbors, are going to help him with the harvest. hookey is planning to put what he learned on the course about pest control in sustainability into practice next year,

when it's time to associates again. is there an illusion to buy one used toxic chemicals because they caused a lot of problems. muskets i did on the buckle is that these i products kill all insight and say, but if i have some a useful. okay. it will see you start to see that goes back to our animals and that bad for the air we breathe that. okay, no, so float and see if i wouldn't use toxic fertilizes either. i'll use organic fertilizer, an estate team, and on top see the farmer learned how to make cool comic pesticides spray on the virtual reality course. by mixing names, the powder 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 cotton advisory committee in finance, by the gym and development agency. the g,

i said it must have learning in a virtual environment that replicates real world situations is also cost efficient . it reduces the sort of expenses associated with standard training methods, such as traveling fuel. northern cameron and these, these are the, the rain full of the rest of the country. and climate change is exacerbating the irregular rains and drought. to tell you up, i look for the sign. it was but 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 the cotton 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, confidence calm is with new challenges. hello g hello key and his 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 christa lansing lagos. nigeria, thanks for joining us and do checkouts echo off or go online for margaret star. reason ideas. see you again. next week. the
