opt out shows the geopolitical reality. beyond the board is what makes things the way they are mapped out, navigating a changing world. now on youtube, the trees produce oxygen. we need to brief. they protect the soil and provide a home for animals and fun. and the water is a precious renewable resource the we have to manage sustainably. so today we meet all sorts of people involved in supporting these vital components of the ecosystem, as well as those were walking with the forest. i am sandra holmes between the video and joining me on these edits of the vehicle, africa, ease of course, my colleagues, chris ellens,

all the way in this area and the world welcome from me to here in lake us. and i'm thankful for the j 2 shades these trees are provided me today. and i also have what's coming up waste prevention, how liberal in setting goals, restaurants, helps to reduce plastic use and why mushroom hogs up popping up on the above run. let's big game though, and gone to the various drivers of deforestation among them. illegal sales are protected by adult. in many cases, there are communities, sole source of income. once a, probably an offer can forest conservation gone as lost most of its woodlands now. so suitable for as the advocates of reason, local peoples awareness about, but not to results of the, the scene of the crime. with

a fair treatise because secretly chopping down trees. but with thank just are we given any inquiry and frank company wants to protect the gun as far as, and they have succeeded here in the restaurant to region. people came to mind illegal. and it's a report from one of the monitors that i truly bought about. we stopping them for maintenance, and we realize that these mining activities, let me know i was commission, knew nothing about it. so when we got to the north commission involved the i truly did, they needed a spot from them and this came to a halt. so we could see that is only a portion that's what destroyed and the remaining is as through day. so at least, oh, the lights are very, very useful. frank, i didn't live close by. back then. here is the alone as an up on the cell phone. let seen report, illegals login. and forrest bias the report is sent directly to the headquarters of

civic responses. gonna be and you started the monitoring program it and then informed the authorities so that they can respond to direct to me. is this all this into pieces already to it has to interpret since we have the web and stuff. isn't that a bit more about industries? the mobile interface is basically for reporting for this the boxes and that is used as a one to community. i'm one of those use, jo, a 60 also lives in the restaurant to region in that, why would your community not from the kind of yeah for raised. he grew up here and he and his family from the forest where they also grow vegetables and pump oil trees. yeah, by how long you run for it's more familiar to me. you know, we used to be able to hunt and get onto my production. we saw the destruction of our forest have deprived as of all of these things. these have had and it gets even

effect when a livelihood your reading doesn't to used to be a problem either. but now there is hardly enough reading for across or below, but the people are cutting the trees with chainsaws, the bending them to make chuckle. yeah. so we are really suffering. will you think? i might, you know, rubin will help. i want to be or turn them on. he has joined deforest conservation is to try to put a stop to read the i think the civic response, guidance monthly meetings. the group is not active throughout the country. it's for risk conservation areas. i'm given we in front of id, i always joining the new comments who lived near the woods, the explain how the up wakes and talk about what those each person can do to protect it. therefore reyes as a young with a what do you normal by just today doing is how to report these incidents. there was a significant reduction in some of these and they get different human activities in

this community. it would say you're bored to turn off work on such measures along or if i do, you, as gunner continues to lose for us, car, the food and agriculture organization, f e. o. estimates the west african country has the most around 20 percent of its forest areas. in the last 20 years. when you talk about the religious audience, it's like the front of the commission. you know, they have some limitations. for example, in terms of logistics to even be able to monita what they were on in the forest for us is that some areas i to be close to. i says, so the for as gods ring supervisors and other offices of the 1st 2 commission, you have these telling use of movement. the non governmental organizations could become key to protecting the 4 raised the rich patch which these things used or key, possibly to use. and then the tests also increased co minutes. his interest or willingness

to protect for us is a cause to displeases communities, attendance and that would be drawn to serious of benefits. that's the defense of i mean, d yeah, i see. well, definitely keep campaigning to save the trees. after all, you and his family only have these one forest from which to feed themselves. as for everyone who lives near a gun is woodlands, protecting the forest also secures the own lives. the next story takes us to europe. young people who struggle in school or on the job market often locked in demand schools that could help stabilize their lives. but where can they love them? a program in fries teaches coventry tools, looking for a new start, and gets them qualified to walk with a renewable resource. it is a doing debates basic

the they might be young, but they feel like they're not moving forward in their lives. a few warm up exercises or at least getting today off to a good start. 23 year old, a lease bundled was dropped out at the university. she wants to do something meaningful. the english, i'll click on this. i'm on a pre qualification course, so it's only 3 months. and the good thing is that is very, very efficient. these young people age 16 to 25, are looking for new jobs with an ecological focus. the educational institute near the city of to lose and the south of france trains them for the transition to a greener society. i'm going to send 2017 without it at the 1st school for ecological transition. we link global challenges to questions like, what do i want to do with my life, and where will the money come from? we want to help transition to a more sustainable society,

only because from causes headquarters. training for hands on green jobs that are fit for the future. yeah. so there's a range of jobs that have to do with the environment manual john, it's related to ecological transition, such as the carpentry, wood, working, harder, culture and eco construction vehicle so. so this won't be any old hot. instead guest artist mika is the new, this is creating an airy pavilion, made entirely of recycled wood from pallets used for solar panels. the circular economy of close. already about 20 until schools across france make protecting the environment fun and motivate young people to get back to work because that's what it is. all 3 other people who like me, were being reintegrated into the world of work have also come back here that really shows how much we loved discipline. we own lineup with the in the as and when we talk about it here. so it's really great.

the is now mixed up with visits. adults tell well one full of valuable trashes buildings and construction are responsible for a big part of global emissions. and usually the waste result in from demolitions is just dumped a landfill. now, a former u. s. military base in germany is being repub posed with many components districts down a recycled or be used in a new trend cold or been my name, a biscuit ghost town in the german city of heidelberg, used to be a bustling u. s. army base housing, nearly 5000 people but it's been closer more than a decade. like many old bases around germany would usually continue to rock or be torn down. instead, this many city is up for

a makeover in this part of the massive urban experiments. while many of the nearly $300.00 buildings here are set to be referred to as those that don't fit into the plans aren't just going to be demolished, they'll be picked apart and their materials will either be recycled or reduced. this technique is called urban mining a construction trend that's picking up steam around the world view. most of your mining concept. we have an urban mining concept based on the idea of a circular city where we treat every thing left behind here as though it's a mile and i can be sweet in a minute and that's all the guy from voice. you're getting a chuck is hydro bigs deputy mer and heads up in the city planning department. some water said they were really lots of resources here. and we want the value of these materials and use them to build the new district type on. roughly one 3rd of the buildings will be left standing, gutted and renovated. the rest will be taken down to make space for a denser neighborhood with mixed use buildings,

not just housing. but the special thing about this project is that instead of sending the deconstructed buildings to landfill, the goal is to resell for use or recycle every thing that you can see here, from literally the ground. all of this represents a new approach to old buildings and goods. they put the square meter and you can avoid building use best. anything should be reuse, what's improving, how we built things as vital construction accounts for 13 percent of global energy related carbon emissions. and it's not just about putting up buildings on building is, are demolished, they usually end up in landfill, all told construction and demolition account for about one 3rd of all the waste in europe. polar been mining sometimes called circular construction is a new term and has begun to take off in the last 5 to 10 years. it's not a new principle up until the industrial revolution. actually urban mining was very common. me go shout and focuses on the built environment at dutch sustainability,

consult and see metabolic during the industrial revolution. i think that's what we see with a lot of production processes that production became cheaper. mazda consumption became more common, and we kind of let go of, we're using what we already have met about urban mining efforts include partnering with cities, architects, and construction companies. i think a very interesting case that we worked on is the building of the dodge national bank. the 14 story skyscraper was entirely disassembled, metabolic, are working with the developer to design a new building from the secondary materials. they've also built an office park out of old house boats. similar been mining projects that popped up from switzerland to belgium. and cities in the us are increasingly building material databases and passing laws that require buildings to be deconstructed, not demolished, but are being mining isn't one size fits all the way we tried to solve the problem

is not the same in different regions in different countries. boucher iran ego research has the built environment and co leads to un sustainable buildings program in the global south, for example, they're just starting has many empty houses, office and shops us and the global north. but in a way, urban mining is pretty big here. even though people don't necessarily call it that when you think of informal sacraments, for instance, they are very sick, you know, in that materials that have been using these informal supplements have been, have had several lives before being dep, in, in these informing areas. even if we start cataloging and mining our buildings on a grand scale, will never be able to entirely eliminate the use of new building for us. it's not just about how we deconstruct what's already here. it's also about rethinking how we built. so usually in the building, you design a building and then you find materials that fits. but if you have to design and

with a set of materials, then you really have to shift your way of thinking. i really have also a different position as the architect. this whole process to be more of a simpler of materials instead of a designer of the building, incentivizing urban mining and making it cheaper will help drive change. but it will still take time projects like fido bags, patrick henry, village, redevelopment or a start. but also showed just how much has to change to get with an a smith of those goals. but to us, we can now what eco friendly funding our own device in run to a mushroom funding project problem says hope mushroom funding is low cost and a sustainable the properties of cultivating it requires a minimum of land and avoids home for chemicals. and they are seen as a nutritious meat oats on it to clean the duck. you made interiors of

these huts, some a gumble bodies to east coast invest enough crop that would help simple for security in glenda or you stuff, mushroom mazda in. yeah, it's out of english. want your hands. it was when you did a whole lot and i have been cultivated mushrooms for 5 years. did a robot mincie the rapid growth set them apart from other crops? when then going to retain 9 and 15 days after cultivation? the mushrooms are ready for sale. well, when i think it is, i'm is i've done one minute with other crops, you often have to wait 5 to 6 months before they can be have this difficult, but i'll get you over to them. we love with mushrooms and generating revenue within just 2 weeks. you did indeed we have many advantages over other crops. oh yeah, yeah, no, that's the one i need you to be in that to one of them is that a rook on the on to say montgomery bodies to groceries. mushroom seeing a little girl. i'm a village, one of the 15 feet of disappointed becky gulley funds. it's trained around 700

small holder farmers and had the hot, specifically butte, which the farmers use for free. it also provides them with production and commercialization assistance. the social enterprise was set up by le run dominique in 2010, previously ran on michael dreary in new york. but he wanted to move to, i forgot to do something sustainable with the community impact. and then inspiration heat. as the book closed am i see them running home mushrooms going to help save the world. and i thought, yeah, that's, that's too much, you know, how can help the help. and most of them save the world. but i started reading the book and it was very quickly convinced that mushrooms are, it is incredible organisms that can do a lot of good things. if you, you know, if you use them in the right way, they can be good for people's health. you're very healthy. to eat very nutritious, they can be very good for the environment because they have a tendency to recycle organic matter into something useful. they are good normally

conditions and one the ideal for the car. divisional several is that i have to use of mushrooms and the crop is an ideal solution to one of the problems. the country 1st is the growing population which currently numbers around 14000000 on the limited availability of ari belonged, which encompasses some 1400000 heck tests. this indicates that our current land resources may not advocacy and show for security for all citizens in the future. however, we shall still seems viable solutions for from mushrooms play, a significant role in the set of bio economy. it solves the issue of negative effects that are crop vested use in the long time. that's because it's used as a substrate for mushrooms to gully funds, provide support to local wheat farmers when they have is and then buys the withdrawal, which is then from into the into substrate. in the past from us would have bunk deck, real press to do contributing to air pollution. the countryside is where you find

more agriculture ways that can be converted into mushrooms. so we started with that and then 56 years into it. we started with button mushrooms, no budget mushrooms worldwide is the number one, commercial mushrooms everywhere. it's 90 percent of the of the cultivated mushroom around the world. but it was 0 in rhonda and it's very, very low in africa requiring minimal input in terms of cost london, labor mushroom funding is benefiting local communities again $1.00 to as well as helping decrease emissions and improve soil quality of the overhead. and since my passions and mushroom plumbing stems from the many benefits, it's given me the club shows really ma'am, is that still growing cycle takes around, sorry. you know, it's crucial. but even once it's finished, mushroom substrate lies retain residual value food and we can use it as a high quality manager and which is ideal for various crowds, especially vegetables. so the harvest is good. food and level as

a menu say what the hunchback to the on the slides is which the great and the soil comments and the quote and how to work with joe, with the vocal folds between what small mushrooms are increasingly seen as an affordable, unhealthy food and much more environmentally friendly social floating, stunned meat. instead of having your hamburger with beef in it, you could have a vegetarian burger with the, with the mushroom. and that's just as delicious, much healthier for you and the shelter for the planets. mushroom funding fits well with the one the government's plans to make agriculture claimants much particular do we didn't go easy to design to mention we keep what claim waiting to integrate climates month, agriculture and to agriculture policy goals with, along with the teachers will promote sustainable and environmentally friendly farming methods, we aim to support all forms of agriculture or funding generate organic,

fertilize us. this approach not only agent combating the impacts of climate change, but also diversifies our reliance would be on mushrooms. you wouldn't have doing any reasonable for. so what i'm going to need to do, you mean are we to be today to we are with it's many benefits for the environment. mushroom funding is how things one to meet you to talk. it's a freed using greenhouse gas emission by nearly 40 percent by the end of the deacon on this report takes us to send the go. plastic waste like this is a huge environmental problem, both online, um, etc. and the last city is hundreds of millions of tons of 8. i've been picked up from b t. so around the world. new environmental laws got a list load of types of plastic debris washing up on out shows. plus the food packaging is also simply discarded. now a number of $70.00, restaurants are literally salting the stains out

every morning. so i need the heads down to your beach in the car. but before he gets in the water, his tops off to pick up the plastic line around. dan has a big side cafe and 3 months ago he became a member of a senegalese association that helps restaurants cuts down on plastic. let me see, let me see it goes, i'm committed to this course because i walk on the beach and i plugged all my activities take place here. the only problem with that would be affected by pollution. and so we're on the phone plan of fighting plastic and waste come back to that's what, what you've read to me to become part of the 0 waste initiative around the edition came out only makes coffee within his personal machine. instead of using plastic cups hills, he has replaced single used tools with metal once he's completely done away with

plastic. and that means he qualifies for 30 waste, senegal labels set up in 2021. the association now has around a 100 members across the country, osborne and he is like love you and she will finish here and up. license who run to the cob branch of civil rights? 62 restaurants have joined the initiative. half of them in the capital liberties had been that as of to yet we go back to the restaurants to see how it's going. been because he asked them some questions at the end of the day, and we make sure they're still using a tennessee used to plastic and whether they want to get to get more labeled by law cnn level. so that's how we follow up on this, on what they mean. okay. but they they also reach out to other restaurants that might be interested in joining the initiative. records provided by the 62 places already on board. allow them to estimate how much plastic has been saved over the last 3 years. they've gone down the impacts as far as the impact on the

environment is concerned. we try to measure as well as we can, how much plastic waste has been avoided by the switch to a ton of tv. uh was a sofa. it's been a 106000 fuel single use tools around 46000 fuel plastic bottles. and 32000 fuel coffee cup tools, but you know directly even if it doesn't look like much for the individual restaurants, if you add it all up, the impact of 60 restaurants is significant. tell me some of the bikes, homes on those as well. so then i'm of the many small restaurants and streets which told in the cost. so take away food only. usually in plastic containers for the time being they don't have much choice of non human, but i mean they go by, i'd like to stop using plastic because it's not good for the environment. but

a plastic bag that you put in cardboard packaging, then you put and that's why some sell as we inspired to critical packaging, protect the prizes 5 or more friends on the plastic problem needs to be addressed by politicians. save lawyer, mama duty in plastic is only the cheapest option and people down to the garbage on the beach promenade in dot com lou from the you may have gotten more in front of me . the trouble is that in the informed economy, plus people use plastic packaging to sell the project will go through. if it's all the problem, the district needs to take action and raise the public awareness of plastic weeks around laptop without doing it. remember lacrosse, that issue. people need to understand that it took events to the environment as fulton biodiversity level and also to future generation. and the guy i produce at the moment it's not the government but grass roots groups like 0 with center

goals that are working to raise awareness and tucker the problem. do you know about initiatives like lease in your country or did anything else in the show cost you attention? well, please write to us on eco as the the com would love to hear what you think and also a good experience. now it is a good 5 for me, sandra holmes, that nobody is right yet uncomfortable. you get a from me, chris alone say nice area. thanks for joining us. don't forget to head to d, w dot com slash eco offered for moiz, byron stories. so you all again, next time the, the
