[000:00:00;00] 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 some money to 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 nobody and joining me on these are,

these are the vehicle off of the ease. of course, my colleagues, chris ellen's 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 semi goals restaurants, helps to reduce plastic use. and why mushroom hogs up popping up. all of, of rwanda, less vig gainesville and gone to the various drivers of deforestation among them. illegal sales are protected in the adult. 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 of this scene of the crime, with a fair treatise, because secretly chirping down trees. but with ventures are we giving any inquiry? and frank company wants to protect a gun, it's 1st 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 bought 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 they have remaining is as through day, so at least, oh, the lights are very, very useful. frank, i do live close by boxes in curious,

be alone on up on the cell phone lets him report illegal logging in for as far as the report is sent directly to the headquarters of civic response. gonna be and you started the monitoring program which and then informed the authorities so that they can respond to direct to me. is this all this into pieces already? it has to interpret, since we have the web and that isn't that of the mobile industries. the mobile interface is basically for reporting for the state balances and that is used as a one to one minute. and one of those use jo, a 60, also lives in the restaurant to region in dev wearable georgia community and not far from the kind of a forest. he grew up here and he and his family from the forest where they also grow vegetables and pump oil trees. or yeah, by how long you run for it some more familiar to me. you know, we used to be able to hunt and get onto my products,

and then we saw the destruction of our forest has deprived as of all of these things. these have had and they get even effect on our livelihood. your reading doesn't to used to be a problem either, but now there is hardly enough reading for across or below. and people are cutting down trees with chainsaw as long as you know, the bidding them to make chuckle. yeah. so we are really suffering. will you think? i might, you know, rubin will hop high on what to do or turn them on. he has joined deforest funds. the vision is to try to put a stop to read the things civic response, guidance, monthly meetings. the group is not active throughout the countries for risk conservation areas. i'm given we in front of id, i always joining the new. com is 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 with a, a cartoon or a normal by motivated. what 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 your board due to not a problem. such measures are wrong 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 we talk about the regulatory agencies like the 1st 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'd be close to, i says suited for as gods ring supervisors and other offices. somebody forced to condition the house these telling useful movements. the non governmental organizations could become key to protecting the 4 raised the rich patch,

which these things used or key reduce. 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. yeah. 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. our 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 carpentry tools, looking for a new start, and gets them qualified to walk with a renewable resource is doing a b,

b sweep. 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 lease bundle was dropped out at the university. she wants to do something meaningful. the we much real quick is 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 in the south of france trainings them for the transition to a greener society. i'm going to do this in 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 was the money come from?

we want to help transition to a more sustainable society like this home, cause 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 vehicle. so 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 cause of death of 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 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 big pots 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 been repub, posed with many components districts down, recycled or reused in a new trend cold or brand mining. this goes to town in the german city of heidelberg, used to be a bustling us 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 minus 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 everything left behind here as though it's a mile. and i can be sweet in a minute and basketball, the guy from voice, you're getting a chuck is hydro bigs deputy mer and heads up. did city planning department some water said they were really lots of resources here. and we want to value these materials and use them to build the new district about type on roughly one 3rd of the buildings will be left standing, gutted and renovated as 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 re sell 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 from the square meter, and you can avoid building use best anything should be reuse, what's improving, how we build things as vital construction accounts for 13 percent of global energy related carbon emissions. and it's not just about putting up buildings when buildings are demolished, they usually end up in landfill, all told construction and demolition to account for about one 3rd of all the waste in europe. paul, ever 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 show 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. metabolic 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 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 an office park out of old house, but it's 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 and the global self for example. there just aren't as many empty houses office as in 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 of informal sacraments, for instance, they are very sick, you know, in that materials that have been using these informal settlements, have been, have had several lives before the end up, you know, 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 to, usually in the building, you design a building and then you find materials that fits. but if you have to design and it's a set of materials, then you really have to shift your way of thinking. i really have also a different position as an architect. this whole process to be more of a simpler, also 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 re development or a start, but also showed just how much has to change to get with an a smith of those goals bought 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 alternate to clean the duct, q made interiors of these hots, some of gumbo bodies to east coast invest enough crop that would have been sold for security in glenda or east of mushroom mazda in york. gentlemen give you a hint that every whom you did a whole lot and have been cultivated mushrooms for 5 years, did a robot mean? see 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 that done? well, i mean, with the crops you often have to wait 5 to 6 months before they can be harvested. but i'll get you over to him. we're in love with mushrooms generating revenue within just 2 weeks. you. it's indeed we have many advantages over all that crap. oh yeah. yeah. no, that's not behind on any youtube begins that to one of them inside of look on the, on those say, montgomery bodies to groceries. mushroom seeing that will get all my village. one

of the 15 villages supported by keep got the funds. it's trained around 700 small home to 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 the 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 go 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 the very nutritious, they can be very good for the environment because they have

a tendency to recycle organic matter into something useful. they grow normally conditions and one the ideal for the coefficient of 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 claim 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 up with security for all citizens in the future. however, which will still seems viable solutions for some mushrooms play, a significant role in the sense of the buyer economy. and it's also the issue of negative effects that are crop vested use in the long time. that's because it's use of 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,

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 costs. london labor mushroom funding is benefiting local communities in one as well as helping decrease emissions. and improve soil quality of the overhead seems to be from you. my passion to mushroom plumbing stems from the many benefits it's given me the clubs shows really 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 a high quality man, which is ideal for various crowds,

especially vegetables. so the harvest is good food and i love the cold as a menu say what the 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 it's done 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 ugly. gotcha. claimants smart, i would say to you, we didn't go very easy to design to somebody to meet. what could i'm waiting to integrate clements month? i didn't culture into agriculture policy goals with that long. i mean even just teachers will promote sustainable then environmentally friendly 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 with the on mushrooms you wouldn't have during the day was on the 1st one. going to need to do the mean are we to be to the, 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 gall plastic waste. like this is a huge environmental problem, both online at sleep. and the last city is hundreds of millions of tons of 8. 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 out shows. plus the food packaging is also simply discarded. now, a number of $70.00,

restaurants are literally sorting these things out of the every morning. so i need dan 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 a few months ago he became a member of a senegalese association that help restaurants cuts down on plastic lucy, the committed to these costs because i walk on the beach applies. oh, my activities take place here on a librium weird devotee affected by pollution and we are on the front line 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 issue. not only makes coffee within his personal machine instead of using plastic cup,

so he has to play single used tools with metal once he's completely done away with plastic. and that means he qualifies for 30 waste, senegal labels setup in 2021. the association now has around a 100 members across the country all and he is like somebody to ensure finishes and up license run to the comp branch of the release. 62 restaurants have joined the initiative, half of them in the capital. when 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 plastics. and what does they want to get to get more labeled by law cnn level? so that's how we follow up on this, on what they need to get, but 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. the impacts as well 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 rolls around, 46000 fuel plastic bottles and 32000 fuel coffee cup to play. 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 on the side of the 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,

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 a critical packaging. put top that prizes 5 or more friends on 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. i know sometimes it's like what i mean kind of my problem is the trouble is that in the informed economy, plus people use plastic packaging to sell their product over through. it's all the problem, the district needs to take action and raised the public awareness of plastic lease proper laptop, the deductible it. remember lacrosse, did a sheet. people need to understand that it's such a switch to the environment as for 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 goal that how lucky 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 the experience. now it is a good 5 for me, sandra holmes, that we never do right yet uncomfortable. you get a from me, chris alone saying i tyria. thanks for joining us. don't forget to head to the w dot com slash eco offer golf for moiz byron stories. so you all again,

next time the the flying high yesterday. in the doldrums today, the electric vehicles in europe. more and more, buyers are beginning to doubts, claims that these are cheaper to run. hunger is ranking on a long term recovery, courting chinese investors and building new factory is made in germany in the ceci minutes on d. w. eco. indian. this child has given me so much peace of mind. ready

while i have the confidence that i can face slight. ready trend for my sense because i have. ready ready in the 1st all women waste management team as cleaning up, sure not. they're working for a better environment and finding against male dominance in their eco, india. and 19 minutes on dw the together, this just came off standard 3 of the 2, julie zullie, the inventory and click

the living independently. rise to society is full of contrasts and any policy is a big challenge. many problems can only be solved by working together. yes, i think i pretend isn't misleading. what is home? how do we tackle the major issues about time next to that? there is a significant risk of human extinction from advancing our systems. lemme changes the new frontier. so from our series continues on september 1st on the w

the, you're watching the w news live from the lynn. israel launches multiple attacks in the west bank, palestinian medic say at least 9 people. it, it is ready. all me says it is still carrying out whole per ations in some new oven towns. also coming up on the program, japan braces for an extreme, ty soon become a cut. toyota says that suspending old domestic production this type soon shot and approaches the
