he fits in the field of the great energy certainly he's one for the ages. because terror for the. stars july turns on. welcome to global 3000 coming up this week food waste and hunger we make people in the philippines determined to cut down on. land what about other types of trash far too much of it ends up in the nile river and to egypt clean up activists. and just where is our planet headed how climate change is already affecting hulda's in kenya

. climate change is increasingly having an impact all over the planet temperatures are soaring sea levels are rising droughts and wildfires are no longer the exception more and more they're becoming the rule people in sub-saharan africa are particularly up against it in some areas average temperatures have risen by 2 degrees celsius all more since the 1970 s. heat crops areas and floods of forcing eagles home the world bank says around 86000000 people could be displaced in africa in the next 30 years more than anywhere else in the world in kenya we met a man who struggles with the effects of climate change every day but he's not taking it down. these days it takes a long time to find a place for his animals to graze grow bogo you have been it goes hard for decades

but conditions have never been so tough. because. the core of it is overwhelming us where this problem is the lack of water. and there's nothing we can do. over time that he has become more extreme and water supplies have dwindled when kenya was hit by drought 2 years ago robot lost almost his entire herd that prompted him to take action and file a lawsuit against the european union. my message to you europeans is that you've got to stop it and i don't know whether you're personally go blame or whether you can talk with the ones responsible. and aides to help them to get his case together the aim to hold those responsible for climate change to account. i ask myself who can hope

for that would lead organization told us that the causes behind climate change are human i took part in the lawsuit because i'm desperate it has to stop the heat is just about melting my brain. with. the robot and 250 other families live in the village of bought and rewrote in kenya's northern bushland. there's no electricity no tap for sure no mobile phone network village life is governed by the animals. he lives with his 2nd wife and their children early morning breakfast is sometimes chum pati a kind of pancake but they often have to make do with just a cup of tea until evening time. he has to get his her to the water hole by 10 o'clock. go shirts here only get one

chance a day to provide their animals with something to drink. the. water is strictly rationed the aim is to make it last for as long as possible. but the strategy is not proving very effective there are simply too many farmers to cater for. at midday the villagers gather for a meeting with the water level is dropping too fast right in the middle of the dry season. they reach a decision on the outside herders who've been staying in baton reroll will no longer be welcome. morning only 2 weeks ago 2 tribes fought it out in the hills. 4 people died 4 were wounded. life has always been hard in this region of the villages fear that climate change is intensifying centuries old conflicts.

the line through any time getting frightened. that we can do anything about these problems when i can't fight the drought and i can't help myself when i'm stuck can't even sleep in your house at night because of the heat. the villagers have some firearms to defend themselves and their water something we're not supposed to film they've been driven off 3 times by neighboring tribes. in late afternoon after school and her mother set off to collect water the villagers get their drinking water from a different pond and carry it all the way home. a yellow canister holds 18 leasers. demas supports her husband's climate change lawsuit and hopes that it will encourage people to change their behavior. we are going to want. these people

have to change their ways and stop doing things that result in all this heat. our animal shouldn't have to die if it really happens in our case is heard and something changes and the cycle is broken then that would be good for us. the heat means they have to do the water run many times over but then it's time to cook goes on the menu today but only because we're here at special occasion normally the animals are sold. the crew goes aren't after money with their lawsuits . their greatest wish is that e.u. countries do more to protect the climbers. after all it's their future and that of their children that stake.

a tough in european climate strategy that's what robots and plaintiffs from the 9 other countries want an e.u. court has since rejected their case now the group is considering going a step further and taking it to the european court of justice. that case shows that things are happening many other people around the globe are refusing to stand by and watch climate change destroy our planet's worldwide groups of people getting together to collect rubbish like in the let's do it project and efforts like that a desperately needed it takes around 450 years for plastic waste to degrade in the environment and every year up to $13000000.00 tons of it lands in the oceans tranced it has no place in other waterways either like one of the world's longest rivers which has been inundated by a mountain of rubbish. the nile is the

lifeblood of egypt and vital for the irrigation of its farmland. but the river and its countless canals have become severely polluted and full of trash over time the plastic breaks down into ever smaller pieces. the micro particles enter the water supply ending up in crops and in fish and then in their human consumers. some air is a fisherman working on the nile. he knows firsthand about the problems pollution causes. me to have to deal with that when i'm older but i think that because then when i'm out on the water i see lots of plastic bottles and other containers like that all of this rubbish tears up my net and they kills the fish to. chad the abdullah is an activist who takes very practical steps to clean the river and its banks. he also speaks out against the scourge of trash and pollution that takes

courage the government has little tolerance of criticism. shadi is a co-founder a very nice initiative that works with fishermen colleges and the public to clean up the river and to raise awareness. of how a lot of commons are when i stole my garbage we asked the question of where do you think it goes he says it goes away. it's not a problem anymore it is a slick throw it into ever and just because i never carry it away so it's not my problem anymore so people don't understand how this come back why it was them and how comes it affects them. beck the river the main source of water for the population. but the very nial initiative has won the support of the environment minister yes mean fuad a surprising development given that initiatives even slightly critical of the state of affairs in the country are usually nipped in the bud. but the masses of

trash choking the river are now too conspicuous to be ignored. what we need to be in effect that collection for the waste with the organic all the non organic and then have a number of factors that are able to make cycles that and the appropriate number of the land. across egypt only about 60 percent of waste is collected at all and of that only if if this recycled. shadi sometimes visits the partner enterprises that recycle the plastic fished out of the river by very naive volunteers working here is considered a lowly occupation abdel is 15 and earns a pittance shadi abdullah and his team are among the few who care about the people who process the trash. it's not an easy process but the recycling here is a lot of has proposed sims and consequences for recycling many people are

trying to get. more safe professions. very nial is also active in southern egypt. luxor is a city of half a 1000000 with spectacular ancient ruins frequented by tourists from around the world it too has a trash problem. very nigh on his maiden name for itself throughout the country despite all the obstacles it's encountered. first obstacle was technically in the hold a straight face in the industry because there is. a low against. the gathering to do what i did so we got off with just the ministries we had to bring so the government doesn't work on board there isn't going to be an exhibit. and not . threatening to cure you for being in the street. the scale of the problem is

vast today's trash gathering effort will not save the nile but this is a huge symbolic significance raising awareness is crucial inspiring people to care about the environment. 2 years ago we saw what we all need very very very few people in sport we have been told over and over again that this is hope this is no hope. hopeless we should stop. when you know we saw it here before but today just look ends of people and the one governor it was the thousands in cairo so maybe next here are going to see hundreds and governor great hundreds of thousands. in cairo and this wave is going to grow i had a very moving moment when i saw. shadi abdullah's green wave will keep rolling if his fellow egyptians join in to protect. care for the nile the river is central to their cultural heritage and to their economy and it's

a treasure of immense beauty. and waste is also the focus of our global ideas series this week or to be more specific food waste food that's thrown away even though it's clearly still edible it's a widespread problem in many countries including the philippines into south of the capital manila an awareness of the issue is growing and people are starting to that facility actions reports they're going to take a close was that and took part in an innovative cookery course. poverty that's what drives these people to look through sacks of garbage and for something to eat they've been sifting through the waste since early this morning. the food doesn't have to be appetizing it just shouldn't make them sick. that

you can take it i didn't spoil it i take it home wash it boils and then compass. philippo balder feeds her family with food that someone else has thrown away the term for such scraps in the local language tagalog is pagpag about 13000000 people in the philippines can't afford 3 meals a day this is the other side of the philippines though prosperous and waste for all you can eat buffets are very popular with those who can pay for them and of course restaurants throw away a lot of the food they prepare. our receive here at least i got resources that is what it is on the tree and from this if you. 8 need to keep you close the process will transfer much stronger history you would so on of these things are going to be that. melody mello reich runs the

sustainable production and consumption project of the n.g.o.s w w f philippines she advises restaurants and hotels on ways to reduce waste today she's visiting the resort town of to gateway it's about an hour and a half drive from manila members of the city's growing middle class like to spend the weekend here chilling out and eating while the picnic grove is a park where people do exactly what the name suggests many bring along food from home it's a culture thing so we we always find excuses to get together so we can can share food this is one way of us for a lot of want to get a family with the friends. increasing prosperity goes hand in hand with growing wastefulness an estimated 300000 tons of rice are thrown away in the philippines every year. modernize willow is doing something to combat that he's

a cook cooper piers healthy dishes at a spa hotel. as we know is determined to minimize waste he uses every part of a vegetable that can be eaten and compost organic waste and he takes other steps as well. but the best actually the best way is through portioning are used to serve the big questions about dishes and a lot was wasted so we decided to downsize all portions put on our menu some items are still described as good for 2 persons good for 5 or for a family or a plot or for a group of friends so that still there. are individuals we have downsized portion of and we got to and they are. modern as well always involved in the project run by melody mello reich she often explains to

chefs how wasting food is bad for the climate. when you household waste and they end up in landfills they became naturally and the produce more potent than greenhouse gas in the form of methane which is more than 20 times longer than carbon dioxide in trapping heat in our atmosphere. in the hotel where as willow works even offers its guests tours of its own kitchen garden serves as i bring forward and for him if we can do we have hearsays as well as cooking classes. he does wear low teaches guests ways to avoid generating waste when they cook at home that. he also recommends using parts of plants that are usually discarded like banana flowers. for making fries out of potato skins or soup out of onion skin and. fake

now i can make an i should of you then i. began part of the part that i have before and now i know more. i think if you modify football in cooking the king. and everybody knew that it can actually affect the buyer. this is in light of the experience of course classes at a luxury hotel don't reach a wide audience and large volumes of food will continue to be discarded across the country but there's now a bill before parliament in the philippines that would oblige food manufacturers restaurants hotels and supermarkets to donate surplus edible food for distribution by food banks to the needy for no though huge amounts of discarded food still end up in a dump in the district of pions us waste pickers here look for things of value in the garbage. delivered by the usually find some food that looks

at a bowl she started working as a waste picker 2 years ago after her husband died the burden of feeding the family fell completely on her shoulders. the 1st thing she does with the chicken she retrieved from the refuse as boil it to kill the bacteria. then she fries it with onions and serves to her children and grandchildren her suffer. a little. here you either have work or you don't share it would be better not to have to eat this but it's this or nothing. life's hard. her family will probably have to continue living off discarded food but receiving it from a food bank would certainly be better than pulling it out of a pile of garbage. she says. is something you never get used to.

sometimes it can be vital to look problem straight and not just figurative. vision can be very frustrating and even dangerous problems with eyesight are common pretty much everywhere irrespective of age cultural circumstances the world health organization estimates around 1300000000 people globally have impaired vision and many of them have no access to the devices that can help correct it. is a rural town of about 17000 people in central bolivia. jennifer is waiting to have her eyes tested she can't see well anymore and it's hard for her to read her sheet music she plays the violin and is preparing for a big concert in a local church. every performance is special and we give it our all to make it

a shortage of frames innocency on so locals are looking forward to the new delivery . including jennifer. so far the ngo has seen about 700 people here most can be supplied with glasses but about 20 percent of patients need special lenses that the ngo doesn't have for example because they have astigmatism. jennifer can read the top 4 sentences but then things get blurry in. a school class have come to get their eyes tested here too the ngo does not charge for the glasses for locals who can't afford to go to a regular optician it's an invaluable service. group when there are so many children who need help sometimes in class they tell me they
