30 minutes on d w. sure vides s.t.c. people in particular. i like to see myself as the pigsty and strange grown up world. might object of an error as to fair work of finding beautiful. delivery books on you tube. all. our citizens of the world it's our duty to do what we can to protect our planet and its resources and now it's right we welcome senator de janeiro we call africa where we highlight environmental topics and ideas from europe and africa as always i'll be presenting the show with my colleague in uganda hey there sandra are you doing

today hello to you to neal to i'm doing just great thanks and i'm really looking for today's program i am so honored to nobody here in kampala here's a quick look at what's coming up. we will hear about an organization income iran that promotes sustainable development on female empowerment. in south africa we will meet an artist who has been creating life like being one sculptures he would tell us why. and making mobile phones more environmentally friendly 2 brothers from germany show us how it's done. all false report takes us to come and what we mean to renewable energy enter one week to mia she is the founder of green goals an n.c.o. all the young women to generate sustainable energy using innovative technologies the organizations used to provide communities with paul from or time as you so says

the sun or even west there by the people themselves. when the green. zone tour it usually gets on lot of attention today going to vision is used in buffy both 20 kilometers from the capital. after them we're. explaining to the crowd that these solar panels need to be cleaned and they can also learn how. the young entrepreneur wants to help other women become acquainted with green technology. a group of muslim got approached to me telling me that yes we had good. but enough. so i realize that. the list on. the specific solution so when i. wrote the solution provider the problem the green girls have been touring commit on for 3

years now traveling to places that are or suffer frequent power outages. renewable energies can help improve people's lives doing away with the need to gather and cut firewood. lighted a 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 a household for up to 25 years. the kids provide enough to power at least

3 light bulbs and use it animal friends for the 1st time. in her 7 kids have their own source of electricity. for us and these power outages i will switch to so not in the mix some food in the kitchen with the help of one bulb you put it. into my house and i will switch on the light so i am putting the snake right away. you know how long the green goddess product also builds bio gas plants are pete has already been dug here. done can be disposed of. is a spinning that is produced under the tunnel and that families can use to run at home funding for the road show comes from international sponsored the women village does get the so lucky for free once they have learned how to create and maintain

them between 7 year old who is a lawyer by training has a vision. we need we need we need. you know climate. alchemy that is what we. one week later the green gulls are ready for their next trip in the settlements around buffy they have installed 50 units. in our movie. you all know those creatures that why don't want 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 much longer. that's true sondra in south africa whiteness suffering as a result of overfishing in their habitat now and there are plans to lure them to other regions where there's plenty of fish for them to hunt how find out in this

week's doing. african penguins inhabit just a few select locations on the coasts 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 matched a cunning plan to lure the penguins to better fishing grounds on the coast of south africa's to hope nature reserves are disproved darling creates decoys out of cement they're intended to trick the birds into thinking there are already penguins settled here. when we went to site to install and we also look at the site from many different angles and time visualize the way penguins and the way of being one 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 reducing c o 2 emissions and supporting local businesses in order to reduce the negative impact on the environment but when it comes to high tech gadgets people aren't

always so concerned about the cost to nature 2 brothers in germany decided that best practice was not acceptable and set up a company to make eco friendly every parable of dateable smartphones and also laptops now that's what i call smart. a smartphone that can be easily taken apart by hand by anyone and may break them to replace faulty parts themselves that if the concept behind a german company shifts. repairability 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 rather and business partner costin says the country has enough people who can afford to ship the 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 is the bone is assembled in china but there are no toxic fumes in this factory because the parts are slaughtered and screwed together not welded to $400.00 euros a month wage paid to the workforce is considerably higher than the industry standard in china. the valid deck 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. getting those components to germany would involve lots of

a number of packaging. that wouldn't be very eco friendly or sustainable and. 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 laptop but has had to repeatedly postpone its launch sustainable and fair production is not always a simple business. speaking about creating awareness there was 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

well the ngo is trying to get the younger people involved in the efforts to reduce or eliminate single use plastics where plastic has to be used which fingers is promoting effective waste management let's take a look. this is. 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 vigorous day and signs fan and onto the events held in to raise environmental awareness. i'm doing this because i've seen how classically used the environment and how he makes it like. thank you species so i decided that the vets of the past when should i need a sustainable lifestyle is it better to be the problem now that leads only like

because. according to some research in 2020 they'll be more plastics in the ocean then use this and similar events on the brainchild of 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 link all kids be 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 a major 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 compay more 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 to get a pan. some of the collected waste is used to create art work yet another initiative for given single use plastic of other purposes on the issue of plastic pollution with basically not yet graced the sophos yet it is through so

much to be done we are working with an organization even to some schools want to make bad paper bags to distribute on market sort of sorts we exchange paper bags for nylon bags but i will be able to more so the issue of plastic will 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 the environment and all its other inhabitants. our economic growth is often dependent on the exploitation of resources like here in nigeria without really i would have to learn the hard way that this kind of damage should be embark that's right and it's not on or in but go or even a mind to in spain finding out what it means when i open my lips provides for many

people use poison in life. you. cannot let us go to graze anymore. in the flood plains of sun look at la 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. from. they're all gone favorite or negative i came here and everything was back in the middle of the middle of black mud that i love you so much pain from up there you know where the mine is. all of this was flooded into the river and then type claim to it was real you. know i thought. april 25th 1980 and i snuck out into the sea and the dam for the collecting basin breaks highly toxic mud a byproduct of copper production floods the valley for up to 60 kilometers

threatening to destroy a nature reserve. cultivation has stopped here ever since and the pasture along the river has become a restricted area. if you look at oahu and you know. this homes us farmers of course. we live off our fields the cattle is not allowed up there anymore. so we need to buy fota and confine the animals and i. now ecologist say the end of lucy and copper region is facing. a new threat 60 kilometers to the northwest we see daughter other but expects the worst. the open pit mine to be 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 it. 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 is a very acidic and there's been contaminated heavily it's really a cop up production if the dam spray than a much bigger catastrophe could happen then 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 you know i mean our lives have been reinvigorated by the opening of the mine and the though that i mean what can i say is the ecologist simply keep pushing anything and everyone. the mind keeps running in the eyes of a college just this is scandalous watching from a feel the citizens went and form sufficiently and hardly had any time to object

everyone once of the best technologies to be used for the construction of these cries of was as long as a permission if not completely legal the pitch would actually not be allowed to be run. what business is booming copper is increasingly in demand for crisis ridden spain the valuable resource is seen as a chance in. mining as opposed to recommit soon. we began the social wave strong women and women and the so we are strong women traditionally muscle women don't go out to what. but stay at home and look after the funny but 8 young women in the us or the national park have trained rangers they are defying tradition on and in their own money they're also raising awareness of species protection and environmental issues and unlike me they're very early risers.

early morning in southern kenya near the tanzanian border i don't. know what. it was on her 000000000 my names you have to have room. to enter team lioness we should go to the money i mean the morning crew for 415 excess i said to play a balance then for their long water bottle to make sure that our body started to walk and not a last leap. she works in a large area of my psych community land the local group branch it almost surrounds say the national park at the foot of mount kilimanjaro. but purity like aura 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 any we walk in a very very high. that will be so buffalo's. sometimes when you go to get through the bushes a little so this next hour this. comes through the training precautions and how would you react how would you be aware of your legs as you go out and what. team lioness as the 8 are known is one of the 1st all female ranger units in kenya and the very 1st made up of my side women are traditionally myside women are considered weak and do not pursue an occupation outside of the family. strict rules and hierarchy is observed for centuries and must cycle munity so slowly being questioned and loosened and we really like the idea of if they. want to. and also their community

that we want to see them whether meant to born and. we can send the community. several 1000 elephants live here to they move back and forth between national parks in the west and the east of the country and traverse massai lands along the way there are no fences barring their path purity law 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 charge 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. because they will and most they will follow and friends. and they can kinda so even scared because a little might also want to live so that then so their wishes can because. so you might be not aware but that you will be taken. 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 what. little i did i manage her female

relatives make jewelry and sell it to tourists visiting the national parks nearby from a side of women 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's school so use. i told my father and my mother that you had to get it to me yes now i've done with my phone call you wanted me to come and see tia in how we live without it no outflow went away then have you had to get to me if you don't want me to go out and walk then i told them you know because you have educated me like you infelicity this need to win bad and love me that. and with her regular income she can support her family. that has earned her respect in the community. which. i thought would have the euro i would have having seen purity and the other girls join the rangy unit. and seeing them working we're convinced we made the

right decision you know might have been feedin it you know now whenever they get a high level of any other girl who will be accepted into a rangy unit we'll also have our exceptions. to how i live with idaho by. purity like carr 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 tsonga to nobody is saying goodbye from kampala here in uganda it was a pleasure co-presenting within you to take a everybody and. that goes for me to stand out but don't forget you idea of us in the meantime you can always check in on us on our website and social media platforms where you can also send us your thoughts and your comments we really
