2:30 am
to talk about the there is a significant risk of human extinction from advancing our system. our series continues to the henderson on the w, the, the phase produce oxygen, we need to breeze. they predict the soil and provide a home for animals and fun. and the water is a precious renewable resource that we have to manage sustainably. so today we meet all sorts of people involved in supporting these vital copeland. it's of the us eco system, as well as those were walking with the forest. i am sandra holmes between the video
2:31 am
and joining me on these edits of the vehicle off of the east coast. 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 jane to shave these trees up 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 down. let's begin though, and gone to the various drivers of deforestation among them. illegal sales are protected by adults. in many cases, there are communities, sole source of income was a probably an offer can forest conservation gone as last move. so if it's woodlands now, so suitable for us, the advocates of reason, local peoples awareness about but not to results
2:32 am
the scene of the crime with a fed treatise because secretly chopping down trees. but with the increased are, we was given in inquiry and frank at the de wants to protect the gun as far as and they've succeeded here in the restaurant to region. people came to mind illegally. and it's a report from one of the monitors that i truly brought about. we stopping them for mining, 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. curious,
2:33 am
be alone on up on the cell phone. let seem report illegal logging and for as far as the report is sent directly to the headquarters of civic response, gonna be and you started the monitoring program, which then informs the authorities so that they can respond to direct to me is this all this into pieces or does it have to interpret, since we have the web that isn't that of the mobile industries. the mobile interface is basically for reporting for as, as 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 dev wearable georgia community. not far from the kind of a forest. i grew up here and he and his family from the forest where they also grow vegetables and pump oil trees. behind the real part of my face and we need to be young one. we used to be able to hunt and get onto more production. we saw the
2:34 am
destruction of a forest has deprived as of all of these things, you know, these have had and they get to the fact that when a livelihood your reading doesn't to used to be a problem either. but it's now, there is hardly enough reading for across the board, and people are cutting the trees with chainsaws let you know that bending them to make chuckle. yeah. so we are really suffering. will you think? i might, you know, rubin will hop by on what to do with on them on he has joined deforest conservation is to try to put a stop, to read the things 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 joined out dry new comedies 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, a cartoon or a normal bible study is how to report these incidents. there was
2:35 am
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 agricultural organization. as a 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 religion is like the 1st 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 4 is the 1st is that some areas have to be closed. i says suited for as gods ring supervisors and other offices. somebody forced to commission the 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 reduce. and then the test also
2:36 am
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, he 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 us. oh, and that 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 carpentry tools, looking for a new start, and gets them qualified to walk with
2:37 am
a renewable resource. is doing debates basic or 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 on the spot, the what was dropped out at the university. she wants to do something meaningful. well, we must real quick. i was, 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 trainings them for the transition to a greener society. i'm going to do this in 2017 without at, at the 1st school for ecological transition. we link global challenges to questions
2:38 am
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 like this one, because it's like what is training for hands on green jobs that are fit for the future. the. there's a range of jobs that have to do with the environment manual john, it's related to ecological transition, such as carpentry, wood, working part of culture and eco construction. i think also too this won't be any old hot. instead, guest artist me guy on the news, is creating an airy pavilion made entirely of recycled wood from pallets used for solar panels. the circular economy of close, already about 20, into the schools across france, make protecting the environment fun and motivate young people to get back to work for the best way to go. 3 other people who like me, were being reintegrated into the world of work have also come back here that really
2:39 am
shows how much we loved discipline. we own lineup within the doing 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 resulting from demolitions is just dumped a lot of fields. now a former u. s. military base in germany is been repub, posed with many components districts down recycled or reused in a new trend, cold or brand my name of this ghost town in the german city of title, there used to be a bustling us army base housing, nearly $5000.00 people but it's been close for more than a decade, like many old bases around germany with usually continue to rock or be torn down.
2:40 am
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 mountains you and mining concept. we have an urban mining concept based on the idea of a circular city where we treat everything left behind here, as though it's a mine. i me, i the media in fact all the guy from voice you're getting old shock is heidelberg deputy mer and heads up in the city planning department some board and 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,
2:41 am
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 up. all of this represents a new approach to old buildings and goods from the square metering you can avoid building use vast. anything should be reuse, what's improving, how we build things is vital construction accounts for 13 percent of global energy related carbon emissions. and it's not just about putting up buildings, build is, are demolished, they usually end up in landfill, all told construction and demolition account for about one 3rd of all 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
2:42 am
a new principle up until the industrial revolution. actually urban mining was very common. me go shell and focuses on the built environment at dutch sustainability, consultancy, metabolic during the industrial revolution. and i think that's what we see with a lot of production processes that production became cheaper. mazda assumption became more common and we kind of let goals for using what be already have met about urban mining efforts include partnering with cities, architects and construction companies. i think the very interesting case that we worked on is the building of the dutch 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 in the office park of old house, but it's similar, but mining projects have popped up from switzerland to belgium. and cities in the us are increasingly building material databases and passing walls that require buildings to be deconstructed, not demolished,
2:43 am
but urban 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, he go to 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, offices and shops and some of 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 offering formal 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 the end up in, in these informed 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
2:44 am
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 similar of materials instead of a design. there was a building incentivizing urban mining and making it cheaper. we'll help drive change, but it will still take time projects like fido bags, patrick henry, village re development or a start. but also show just how much has to change to get with an a smith of those goals, but to african. now what eco friendly fund a our own device in run to a mushroom funding project pumps. as hope, mushroom funding is low cost and a sustainable the practice of cultivating it requires a minimal land and avoids home for chemicals and v, as seen as
2:45 am
a nutritious meat or send it to clean the duck. he made interiors of these huts. some of them boil bodies to east coast, if it's enough crop that would help simple for security and glenda. always tough mushroom mazda in the economy and give it your organs every whom you did a whole lot. and i have been cultivated mushrooms for 5 years. did over mincie the rapid growth set them apart from other crops. when i get a routine $9.15 days after cultivation, the mushrooms are ready for sale. well, when i think it is, i'm is left on one minute with other cups. you often have to wait 5 to 6 months before they can be harvested, but i'll get you over to them. we love with mushrooms and generating revenue within just 2 weeks. you. i did indeed. we have many advantages over other crops. oh yeah . yeah, no, that's the one i need you to begins at the most out of look on the on to say montgomery bodies to groceries. mushroom seem to get all my village. one of the 15
2:46 am
feet of just supported by kid gulley funds. it's trained around $700.00 small holder farmers and had the heart specifically butte, which the farmers use for free. it also provides them with production and commercialization assistance. the social enterprise was set up by the run. dominique in 2010, previously ran on michael dreary in new york. but you 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 them and how can most of them save the world. but i started reading the book and i 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 it very nutritious, they can be very good for the environment because they have
2:47 am
a tendency to recycle organic matter into something useful. they grow normally conditions and one the ideal for the causative additional several is that i have to use of mushrooms on the crop is an ideal solution to one of the problems of the country versus the growing population. which cutting to the numbers around 14000000 on the limited availability of valuable land, which encompasses some 1400000 heck to has this in the case 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 some mushrooms play, a significant role in the secular bio economy. it solves the issue of negative effects that are proper vested use in the long time. that's because it's used as a substrate for mushrooms the guy the funds provide support to local wheat farmers when they have is and then buys the withdrawal, which is then from entered into substitute in the past from us would have bunk deck,
2:48 am
real pressure 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 rwanda and it's very, very low in african requesting minimal input in terms of cost london, labor mushroom funding is benefiting local communities in one to as well as helping decrease emissions and improve soil quality of the new my passion to mushroom plumbing stems from the many benefits it's given me the clubs showing ma'am is it's a growing cycle. takes around, sorry. now let's go from what even once it's finished, mushroom substrate is rotating residual by the food and we can use it as
2:49 am
a high quality man, which is ideal for various crowds, especially vegetables. so the harvest is good for food and love local as a menu say, what hunchback to the on the slides is which the great and the soil comments and the crew and how to work with joe, with the vocal folds of to be what small mushrooms are increasingly seen as an affordable, unhealthy food, and much more environmentally friendly source of quotes and starting to meet 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 ugly. gotcha claimants smart. what is the to do with getting that he needs to design to somebody to, to keep what could i weigh him to integrate climate, smart agriculture and to agriculture policy goals with, along with the teachers will promote sustainable then environmentally friendly
2:50 am
farming methods. we aim to support all forms of agriculture or funding generate organic, fertilize us. this approach not only aids in combating the impacts of climate change, but also diversifies our reliance would be on mushrooms. you wouldn't have doing and it was on the 1st one going to need to didn't even need are we to be today to we are with it's many benefits for the environment. mushroom funding is helping one to meet you to target to 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 at sleep. and the last city is hundreds of millions of tons of age. i've been picked up from the chase around the world. new environmental laws got a list load of types of plastic debris washing up on our shows. plus the food packaging is also simply discarded. now,
2:51 am
a number of $70.00 restaurants are lead charlie salting these things out of the every morning. so i need the heads down to your beach. com. but before he gets into water, his tops off to pick up the plastic name around. john has a big side coffee and 3 months ago, he became a member of a senegalese association. that helps restaurants cuts down on plastic. let me see, let me say a committed to this course because i walk on the beach applies. oh my activities take place here on a live broom. we have deputy affected by pollution and we are on the front line of fighting plastic and waste come back to that's what and what you read to me to become part of the 0 waste initiative came out only makes coffee within his personal machine. instead of using plastic cup,
2:52 am
so he has to play single use 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 all and he is like, i'm not even sure finish here. and up, like i said, we're on the call branch of civil waste. 62 restaurants have joined the initiative, half of them in the capital level. has it 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 to plastic. and what does they want to get to the more labeled by ma, cnn level. so that's how we follow up on this on what they need to get, 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,
2:53 am
allow them to estimate how much plastic has been saved over the last 3 years. the impacts as well as the impact on the environment is concerned. we try to measure as well as you 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 at 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. so the next one is the most of them. many small restaurants and st. what's told in the cost. so take away food only, usually in plastic containers for the time being they don't have much choice of human, but i mean they go by,
2:54 am
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 in. that's why some sellers wins by degradable packaging puts up that prizes 5 or more friends of the plastic problem needs to be addressed by politicians. saves 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 academy in front of me. the trouble is that in the informed economy, plus people use plastic packaging to sell their project over through. it's not the problem, but the state needs to take action and raised the public awareness of plastic leaks or oper lot, profitably that fuel it. remember lacrosse, did issue. what people need to understand that it's such a rich to the environment as for biodiversity level and also to future generation.
