and. you could even see about it when the green goddess put you on to it usually gets on lot of attention today going to listen is used in buffy. 20 kilometers from the capital. he's explaining to the crowd that this should not punish need to be cleaned and. the young entrepreneur wants to help other women become acquainted with green technology. a group of muslim got out 1st to me telling me that yes we had given them. but enough. so i realize that. the lives on. so when i. was a good women i got. the solution provider problem the green girls have been touring coming on for 3 years now and traveling to places that are read or suffer frequent power outages. renewable energies can help improve people's lives doing away with

the need to gather and cut firewood. spark of hope. this is really going to help our lives because in times of money electricity is a bit expensive in coming on. which we are not buying will not have to pay a fee to light up our homes. and if possible to see. today and how to install solar panels in this village if properly maintained we can solve household for up to 25 years. the kids provide enough to power at least 3 light bulbs in your city animal friends for the 1st time to 7 year old susan and her 7 keeps have their own source of electricity.

you know climate. and alchemy that is what we need. one week later the green girls are ready for the next trip in the city around they have installed 50 units. over nothing coming on board with. you on all those kit creases that why don't round black and white tuxedos that's right the penguins they're mainly found in the southern hemisphere but if we're not careful the african penguin may not be around long. that's true sandra in south africa whiteness birds are suffering as a result of overfishing in their habitat now and there are plans to lure them to other regions where there is plenty of fish for them to hunt how to find out in this week's doing.

african penguins and have a just a few select locations on the coast of namibia and south africa in recent decades their population has plummeted due to human interference ranging from people stealing their eggs to fishing fleets depriving them of their primary source of food. conservationists patched a cunning plan to lure the big. in which to better fishing grounds on the coast of south africa's to hope nature reserves are disproved darling creates decoys out of cement they were intended to trick the birds into thinking there are already penguins settled here. when we went inside to install them we also look at the site from many different angles and trying to visualize the way thing with the wiping will think the idea is to entice the endangered birds to start new breeding colonies one of the biggest challenges we faced is that no one's ever done

this before for the african penguin so we've had to learn a lot so as we go along the project organizers hope that penguins will take the plunge and relocate. and how about you. if you are also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website or send us a tweet hash tag doing your bit. we share your stories. sustainability is a word on everybody's lips the states and most of us have become a lot more contentious when it comes to recycling plastics we do things you to emissions and supporting local businesses in order to reduce the negative impact on the environment but when it comes to high tech gadget people aren't always so concerned about the cost to nature 2 brothers in germany decided that this practice

was not acceptable and set up a company to make eco friendly every parable updatable smartphones and also laptops now that's what i call smart. a smartphone that can be easily taken apart by hand by anyone enabling them to replace faulty parts themselves that's the concept behind german companies shift phone. repair ability is crucial to the easier device is to repair the longer it will remain in service and the better it is for the environment not. the modular design means that a broken phone can almost always be fixed and doesn't end up in the trash no new phone has to be made to replace it so fewer resources are used the maker promises to provide spare parts for 5 years after purchase and software updates.

this shift phone being given a lively launch in nigeria samuel dex brother and business partner at paston says the country has enough people who can afford to ship phone which costs 400 euros. and unlike most other smartphones this one is made without colton the vast majority of this metallic or is mined in the democratic republic of congo by people working under appalling conditions the bosses of shift wanted their product to be both sustainable and ethically sourced. conflict. is a conflict mineral used for capacity is tiny components that store current. we use ceramics instead they're

a bit more expensive but just as good if not better in many respects. it means we don't have to use conflict materials like. this. this if the phone is assembled in china but there are no toxic fumes in this factory because the parts are slaughtered and screwed together not welded before 100 euros a month wage paid to the workforce is considerably higher than the industry standard in china. to validate brothers would ideally base production in their native germany which would also enable them to personally ensure compliance with their production criteria. if you. lot of components in smart phones and computers come from china anyway so it made sense for us to start there as a 1st step. is to get these and getting those components to germany would involve lots of a labor of packaging. that wouldn't be very eco friendly or sustainable. speaking

of which wouldn't it be better if potential buyers chose used phones instead of to get a device that's the best thing to do is to use 2nd 100 voices and we recommend that to our customers. not be so great for our business but it is really important because. the company is also working on a long life lot top but has had to repeatedly postpone its launch sustainable and fair production is not always a simple business. speaking about creating awareness there is no way sustainability can be achieved without active participation from the younger generation you can just imagine how many of them live in this building here their green fingers initiative hearing legals knows this will be n.g.o.s is trying to get the younger people involved in the efforts to

reduce or eliminate single use plastics where plastic has to be used with fingers it's promoting effective waste management but stick with it. it's a special kind of couple these students from local schools have created high fashion from plastic disposables to draw attention to the amount of waste the items generate. that children are taking part in the green figures day and signs fat and on to the events held in to raise environmental awareness. i'm doing this because seen how classically used the environment and how he makes it like. thank you species so i decided that if you bet at c.v.s. that's when should i need this is when life is it's better to be the problem now than later on in life because. according to some research in 2020

they'll be more passed its evolution then use this and similar events on the brainchild of cheetah do more well founded the green fingers wildlife conservation initiative in 2012 his aim is to give local children an opportunity to get close to and learn more about nature to understand how closely interlinked it is with their own lives the n.-g. o. has its own small way kids can learn about protecting and preserving the urban and natural environment the issue of wildlife is not just maybe going to see animals in the zoo i'm not even understanding where basically the problems of these animals face and some of the works we have protests we've done apart from plastic campian be plastic pollution we've also worked with some of the schools in trying to in called keep the happy tof children working with nature working with wildlife love in wildlife and i believe we believe that if that happens the students ward value.

animals all value wildlife value and wildlife involves caring for the environment i'm leisure challenge in nigeria in the sprawling city of lagos plastic pollution is a huge problem due to the lack of sustainable waste management that's why mobile initiated the beat plastic pollution complaint children collect plastic waste from their homes shopping malls and local beaches. which can then be exchanged for school supplies. for 10 plastic bottles for example they get a pen. some of the collected waste is used to create artwork yet another initiative for given single use plastic for other purposes on the issue of plastic pollution with basically not yet been graced the soffits is due so much to be done we are working with an organization even to some schools want to make

bags paper bags to distribute on market so that as soon as we exchange paper bags for nylon bags that i will be able to. be sure plus we'll show you tonight tomorrow is currently working with 2 schools in lagos but he hopes to persuade more people to get involved so that more youngsters can learn just how closely connected their own lives are to van vironment and all its other inhabitants. our economic growth often dependent on the exploitation of resources like here you nigeria without really. learned the hard way that this can do huge damage to be involved that's right and it's not only henri but gold platinum even mind too in spain people finding out what it means when a coupon might what's provides for many people poisoning by others.

you know you. cannot let us go to graze anymore. in the flood plains of sun look at my york it's been prohibited for over 20 years. back then one of spain's biggest environmental catastrophes happened in a copper mine just a few kilometers upstream. they're all gone favorite on a go to i came here and everything was black within a little of them a little black mud that i love you so much came from up there where the mine is. all of this was flooded into the river and then type claim to it was real you know john went through. april 25th 1980 and i started going out into the sea and the dam for the collecting basin breaks highly toxic mud a byproduct of comfort production floods the valley for up to 60 kilometers threatening to destroy a nature reserve. cultivation has stopped here ever since and the

pastor along the river has become a restricted area. if we look at oahu and you know. this homes as far as of course . we live off our fields the cattle is not allowed out there anymore. so we need to by fatah and confine the animals in there like that. now ecologist saying that and the lucy and copper region is facing. a new threat 60 kilometers to the northwest we see daughter expects the worst. the open pit mine in to be a dog is 10 times the size of the one in i think and it's run by an international corporation seeking to increase production by 50 percent. were not allowed to film on site so easy but they are shows us the reservoirs. underneath a solid layer on the surface there is liquid mud. and i want to know what we want

to hear some very acidic and there's been contaminated heavily it's really caught up production if the dams break than a much bigger catastrophe could happen within 20 years ago. in the village next door nobody wants to believe the scenario most families here lived off mining until the factory closed for 15 years mining has restarted 3 years ago and many are happy to just have their jobs back i love it and i mean our lives have been reinvigorated by the opening of the mine that i want to can i say in the ecologist simply keep pushing anything and everyone. the mind keeps running in the eyes of a college this is scandalous watching from a feel the citizens went and form sufficiently and hardly had any time to object everyone once of best technologies to be used for the construction of these was a was as long as

a permission is not completely legal the pitch would actually not be allowed to be done. but business is booming copper is increasingly in demand for crisis ridden spain a valuable resource is seen as a chance in. mining supposed to recommit soon. we began the show with strong women on the moon and the so we have strong women traditionally must women don't go out to walk. but stay at home and look after the funny but 8 young women in the park how strange. they are defined and in their own money they're also raising awareness this is protection and environmental issues and unlike me they're very early risers. in the. early morning in southern kenya near the tanzanian border.

and you. know what. we should do you go to the money in the morning to 4 for fitting to play a balance there for the battle to make sure that our bodies that are ready to walk and to not allow 30. she works in a large area of my psyche community land the local group branch it almost surrounds say the national park at the foot of mount kilimanjaro but. what purity like cora is one of 8 young women who have recently completed their training as rangers. head ranger is part trick. together they plan their daily missions their work can be very dangerous so early we walk in a very very high street is that the so buffaloes. sometimes

when you go to the secrets of the bushes a little inside this next hour this. adds to the trimmings precautions and how would you react how would you be aware of. what the team lioness says the 8 are known as one of the 1st all female ranger units in kenya and the very 1st made up of my side women are traditionally women are considered weak and do not pursue an occupation outside of the family. strict rules and hierarchy is observed for centuries and must psych munity source lowly being questioned and loosened and we like the idea of this that into one of the we want to. ban once and also their community that we want to see them element to boil and. we can send the community.

several 1000 elephants live here too they move back and forth between national parks in the west and the east of the country and traverse my side lands along the way there are no fences barring their path purity car and the rest of her team travel long distances on foot. between 20 and 40 kilometers a day the same as the male rangers. among their most important duties is talking to people who live here the messiah or semi-nomadic pastoralist who cover a lot of ground with their flocks and encounter wild animals along the way. sometimes lions kill cattle elephants rampage in villages the rangers need to hear about problems and be informed if poachers are in the area. they chart animals movement patterns and register their g.p.s. coordinates rangers are on patrol 7 days a week it's

a way for these women to break out of strict traditional gender roles but the job is far from easy then it is to do the cut because they will and mostly they will follow us and friends. and they can kill you so even scared because a little. like want to live so that then so their wishes well you can because you know. so you might be not about to do that but he will be going to kill you. once a month purity like car of visits her family in their village for a week's break. her daughter lives here and is looked after by the extended family now we're. a little bit better man than her female relatives make jewelry and sell it to tourists visiting the national parks nearby

from a side of women but this kind of business is not considered controversial. it is also an important source of income. it allowed purity like chorus mother to pay her children school so use. i told my father and my mother that you had to get it to me yet now i've done with my family you want me to come in death in how we live without it no outflow when he had to give it to me if you don't want of me to go into work then i told them no because you have educated me i'd like you implicitly with me to win be adding to me that. and with her regular income she can support her family. that has earned her respect in the community. who. would have. having seen purity and the other girls join the ranger unit. and seeing them working we convinced we made the right decision you know might have been feeding you know now what are they going to. any

other girl who will be accepted into a rangy unit will also have our acceptance need to have a life. purity like aura is a pioneer a woman of courage. this kind of female empowerment and self determination is something new in their society but it appears to be catching on. well that's all for africa this time for now i am saundra to nobody is saying goodbye from compiler here in uganda it was a pleasure co-presenting with you neo to take everybody and. that goes for me to sound out but don't forget you idea of us in the meantime you can always check in on us on our website on social media platforms where you can also send us your thoughts 'd and your comments we really enjoy hearing from you our viewers for now signing off from lagos nigeria.
