as long as our coffee and his friends can drink. his movie theater in kenya refugee camp. his life story may have ground to a. twenty seven years ago but there's no holding back his dreams. thank you for watching. cinema the stars may twenty seventh on the. hello everybody and welcome to the latest edition of the good africa i'm now a time when the faucet back me goes nigeria and i'm very happy to welcome you with a new environmental topic some ideas from africa and europe but i'm not alone with

me is why charming colleague in south africa i love felicia he is my name is finnish industry and i hope you'll stay true and for show which is brought to you by. channels t.v. and chris today will be taking you on a trip all over our beautiful continent as we throw some light on the environmental threats we face here. we'll explain to you why senegal is suffering more and more on the coastal erosion. how i make art out of way. and how the recession is making life difficult for fishermen and make the korea. let's kick things off in egypt many areas in the north african country are so isolated they're completely off the power grid which is a problem for residents and the tourism industry so nepal could provide a solution but until now less than ten percent of the electricity in egypt has been

provided by the sustainable resource. however there are now plans in place to build the world's largest solar plant in egypt though this still a long way to go in the meantime to fill the gap smaller supplies are setting up a raise and localised grids let's take a look. at the. lawn is a remote fishing village on the red sea and it's not on the national grid. until recently the only alec tricity here came from diesel generators now a solar powered local grid provides electricity of around the clock. enabling fishermen to store their catch safely. when we caught fish we used to take them either eleven kilometers south to her or

sixteen kilometers north to busan. it was quite a long drive and the fish would sometimes go bad and start to smell. now that we have electricity around the clock we have a freezer people come to us to buy fish and we save on time and travel costs. one hundred kilometers to the north is marseille. it's a popular tourist destination the hotels here rely mostly on diesel generators for electricity. but that's not the case at the martha shack or a large where people come from all over the world to dive the owners here have invested in solar power but the system only provides electricity joining the day when it's dark the hotel still uses a diesel generator. still the partial switch to solar hasn't just been environmentally beneficial it's also been an advantage on an economic level.

for many. for. the price of fossil fuels has risen a lot over the past eight years that's. right now the cost of producing one kilowatt using the generator is the equivalent of twelve year old cents. on the other hand because from the solar plant is only a two year old furnace i mean one point six. as a result we've been able to recoup our outlays in less than five years before. the aim is to switch to one hundred percent clean energy as soon as possible. the many great and solar station was built and is maintained by the carm solar company itself the electricity to the hotel. jamaal opt out cause there is the on site maintenance technician karm solar has a policy of training local people wherever it builds

a facility. and. i mean when i started i was a manual labor. digging holes laying cables carrying stuff around i knew nothing about solar power throughout slowly i started learning things to console or i got trained by their engineers. he checks the solar panels every day it's important to clean them regularly because a lot of sand blows around here for local technicians carm soldiers grates present opportunities for career progression. where i'm no in charge of three solar grids and nasa. karm solar mostly sets up facilities for big clients and companies but it also serves smaller ones like this bedouin settlement they recently received two solar panels from donors. jamal is visiting to explain how the mini great works.

and what harm solar also works with the government on large on grid power plants. another sign that solar power has a bright future in egypt. did you ever stop to think that a lot of what we throw away could be used in other ways to illustrate how our french project started creating mosques out of waste then this was so successful that its members now travel around the world to share the idea and god has inspired school kids start doing their bit for the environment. is one of the most polluted countries in the world the capital generates about three thousand metric tons of waste in a single day often it's burnt in the open polluting the air.

creating awareness on waste that's the aim of the international initiative part of change twenty one together with two county and nonprofits they visit schools and show kids there how to personalize dust masks with plastic textiles would waste. that reduces their awareness of the environmental impact garbage towns and at the same time they learn that it can be recycled rather than discarded indiscriminately in the streets. you know like that. if you are doing here tell us about. our website or send us a tweet. do your we share your story. what a wonderful idea and

a great initiative let's hope it will inspire many more kids to change the attitudes towards waste shifting gears now to another environmental problem that threatens nearly the entire west coast of africa erosion the sea has already swallowed many villages on the atlantic and residents are helpless to stop it. more fishing villages close senegalese car erosion isn't the only problem industrial activities are also poisoning the environment to belgian documentary makers went to find out the facts uncovered a shocking situation. so much. so and says. it is. due to. the bunny project is

a web documentary by law m.p.'s nest that black and white film tells the story of a vanishing senegalese town near the capital dhaka the belgian filmmakers discovered a coastal town called bonnie which is under threat from the sea but also industrialization . in the west there's been a cement work very close to the chorus since nine hundred forty sales a new city center is being built to the north. seventy percent is built on land that could be found. in the west of the quarter there's a coal fired power station that went into operation in twenty eighteen. the government says the power station will be able to light up the whole of senegal but it was constructed on land that was originally promised to the fishing and farming communities ongoing coastal erosion is forcing families to abandon their crumbling

houses by the sea. last. year. so. that is if they're not. equipped with a notebook and a camera and long explored the densely populated urban area where almost seventy thousand people live. they met families deprive both of a place to live and the means to make a living due to the construction project. city and i hope this land wasn't worth a lot up to now and that is precisely the danger with this new town center and that it's being described as if it would have been a wasteland otherwise without any homes but maybe a few fields pretty insignificant all in all have lives of real.

just a hundred metres from the power plant local women dry fish traditional work that provides almost one thousand jobs but now a buffer zone is being created between the power station and local homes the place where people come to dry fish is being swallowed up as a result. of if you'll give me a. salad i would. i really. believe you if they are by. the size of. the filmmakers say that barney's homes schools and fields are already covered with enough dust from the cement plant. the industrialization of senegal is a billion dollar project that has failed to take into account many environmental issues. so the met so close up above the course

building a power station alongside the port and the old cement works has added to c o two emissions and contributed to climate change. and it most probably will exacerbate coastal erosion to. station is also threatened by erosion is situated very close to the kind of story. the to pass. divide. are now back in bonnie to show their film to the communities affected they hope their web documentary can raise awareness about the situation and inspire more people to resist construction projects that disregard the local population and their environment. staying within the west african sub region here in nigeria the activities of man also affects the earth even farming as well a young man in lagos is wanting to help to solve that problem he wants to reduce

the effect of farming on the earth through the hydroponic system of farming and uses less land space and little or no soil for the cultivation of vegetables however the most remarkable bit of news is that it brings the farmers and their produce closer to the two of. these basel parsley and litters plants a special they're being drilled with old use a noble sword vision over to system is called i drip politics to feed the plants the gardeners use an organic sterile media made from the part of the coconut tree i just wanted to transfer yours not. your trunks with chemical additives basically selling the natural state and a special vegetable form micro nutrients that the plants need. they got

no color we group began growing herds and vegetables in lagos two years ago fresh produce is often difficult to find into nigerian megacity and organic products even harder to get hold of cotton a cut always starts with the need to. want to empower the farmers and also with the consumer in mind in terms of providing fresh quality produce to all consumers which is real farm to table which is part of the whole agricultural revolution that's going on in the world by growing locally they could even on the cot the prices of the organic produce a valuable in the city bodies still make profits conventionally grown vegetables so to other markets cost around thirty percent more than the organic ones here i buy keil spinny's in the eighty's most of them are imported so that very expensive

but this is look on the groom and danny so the price and yes it's very reasonable when you think about what you're getting nothing can be fresh fruit you know straight from from farm to mouth that whole concept nothing if it's not too expensive. it's environmentally friendly or the company only delivers within the city it keeps its carbon footprint low the firm is also helping other farmers to follow its example. we. branch of the continent this list and it's a part of the continent that literally you know butte people are pretty fond of them i don't trust fights and. so far they've helped three farmers to launch their own businesses. we are planning to expand and are currently

sitting up to new c.t. farms in lagos. some german cities have begun imposing driving bans on older diesel vehicles that's because diesel emissions can cause disease the ban is also an issue for logistics and possible delivery companies german company plans to convert it entire fleet and has developed its only electric vehicle line we spent a day with a mail carrier on the road. and your main focus is a mailman and it's a small town there hamburg in northwest germany he delivers about eight hundred letters and ninety parcels a day. he works with dr past germany's biggest mail company. he drives an electric powered light utility vehicle called a street scooter. the post has a fleet of thirty four at this sorting office. the message i got my

first impression was that they look a bit odd that the design was unusual in the. past special it's nothing like it had ever been seen before not the vehicle was commissioned by dr past because there were none on the market that fulfilled its requirements. dacha passed the company that makes the vehicle four years ago. when benyamin four sets off each morning the battery is fully charged it can't be recharged while he's out and about only back at the depo. the range is eighty kilometers that's fine for his route and it's a war except perhaps when he has the heating on. once when it was raining a lot and everything was really damp i cranked up the heating on and i used five percent more power on that day and it wasn't even a cold we'll have to see what happens when it really does get called agent for.

the past has eight thousand electric delivery vans in small towns across germany now it wants to deploy street scooters in big cities as well but their limited range has so far been a problem dacha past spokes person martin gauntlet acknowledges that the diesel power plants they currently use in cities will have to be replaced as they cause a lot of pollution. between him and the volume of parcels has been rising and will continue to do so we can only guarantee delivery if we have a fleet they can reach our customers wherever they are that will no longer be possible with our diesel trucks and inner cities and the pursuit of our future. and so we have to consider alternatives. environmental activists design kiddies and regularly measures the air quality. it's not just cars and

trucks that pollute the air here but also ships hamburgers germany's largest ports . the concentration of particulate matter is high. the same kind of pollution from water traffic that we do from street traffic it's just that on ships the diesel engines are much bigger hence the high levels of nitrogen oxides and find particularly. matter in our setting. older diesel vehicles that don't meet the euro six standards have now been banned from parts of downtown. at least that's a step in the right direction. of just. all road traffic to be electric powered there are no longer any technical obstacles to cars and light commercial vehicles all going electric. then of course the air would be lovely. if large commercial fleets such as that of dr past the switch to electricity that would make a significant difference the post office his street scooters are too small for the

large volumes of goods it has to shift in hamburg and you and bigger model is in the works. benyamin crook says most people he meets welcome the ship to evade calls but there is one problem. here. once an old lady was about to walk out in front of the van horn and she says she complained that you can't hear new cars anymore but then she said it's good that they don't pollute the environment. benyamin forbes says he's happy with his evil he just has to drive even more carefully because people don't notice it coming as it glides silently through it so who are. in tanzania uganda and kenya pretty stocks in lake victoria are being depleted pollution is partly to blame easily by exploitation of natural resources

a research project with partners from seven countries in europe and africa wants to help to talk some of these problems. all reporter went to uganda to meet with a team from the university of calls raw in germany the scientists have come to the lake to hold workshops their goal is to boost fish talks and show noble communities how to preserve the environment. maybe mohammed has been fishing off they were going to shows of little toller for more than twenty five years. but now. we no longer catch fish like we used to. be economic impact on us. right now you can sit traps and come up empty or give just one catch a week in the old days we would get a good catch every day. the

main cause for the depletion of stocks overfishing pollution from industrial activity is another problem these issues have made it harder to meet the rising demand for fish. this has prompted some ugandans to set up fish farms. one of the biggest challenges is the lack of clean fresh water. fish from outside the capital kampala. to fish farming you have to keep flushing your ponds all the time so you can imagine the amount of money that was spent just to make sure that we had water running into the different points every ten thousand. she's taking part in a union funded project called beach knock one. of the fish from us are learning about a new technology. it was developed by a team of european and african scientists the project is led by professor john from

the university of khan's way in germany the team has come up with a new system green use west water in order to cut costs while boosting efficiency. one develop a system for the market it's called research aquaculture so this is to make. hundred percent water reuse water is circulation so it's mentally very friendly because there's no water going through and there's no nothing spoiling the environment and we make use of renewable energy in order to reduce c o two footprint. in the tunnel on the side of the lake it's already in place the water is filtered using what's known as membrane bio reactor technology. in uganda has been using recycled water in hotter in the last eighteen months the

used water is pumped into our tongue from there it flows into this busines which contains tomes and sun that help clean the water. wants to use recycled water to have big points too. so we already have the system and it has proved to be very efficient for us using the same water we maintain the same temperatures because that's also very crucial when you're watching exit to there in doha cherry so for the points that still work in progress for us to see how well be able to integrate it. with this and just like more from us to recycle water ideally using renewable energy the professor and his team have been working on this project for the last three years so far has brought them to uganda kenya and tanzania. we want to train

we want to show people and we want to see how everything develops in the future and finally very very important is we need to dept this solution for the local market so at the moment we brought a lot of ideas from europe and now we need the feedback of the local people to give us a guidance in future how can we develop a low cost system one of the ways they're hoping to achieve that is by promoting exchange between scientists and from us the established best practices that boost fish stocks and protect the environment. we'll come to the end of this edition of record africa but we will be back next year with more environmentalists ideas on initiatives from africa and europe we hope you enjoy the show see you next time from now so long from the foster park in lagos nigeria. and don't forget if you
