i'm sure. i'm nothing out of the germans because sometimes i am the most and nothing with the germans think deep into the german culture. that is grandma. it's all about who. i'm rachel join me for me to get on the course. it's no secret that our planet's resources are dwindling and the climate crisis is real that's why our show. offers ideas on how we can protect our environment welcome to the show i'm now it's high in lagos nigeria. and a one welcome for me from kampala here in uganda but. we'll stay tuned for

another half hour to know that starting stories here's what is coming up shipping. evening classes in the gemini on climate change. due to developing sustainable ways to build the harmful. to good use and. products that are making life better for people in. the climate in south africa dry and climate change appears to be making it even more drier it is becoming even more on edge and to green the economy industries farming tourism and the way people live we head to the eastern cape to meet a teenager who is a budding reporter walking one ecological issues she is involved with a global initiative called young group for the environment and the name suggests they need it to making a difference. to

glance it looks idyllic but. otherwise the 17 year old student out. in order to book a man to the extent. of. the rainy season. in town should be fooled by now. it's. sort of. what's what's next is the hope that this. would have been for the game. winstone is a farming town that has been experiencing periods of severe drought over the past 5 years in an effort to alleviate the impact then we split instituted water restrictions in the community john is a member of the young reporters for the environment or white. youth led initiative

that provides training on how to report on local environmental issues just come to talk to timber cookie i local livestock keep his ship survived the cea but if the rain stopped he might have to sell the entire flock and the ones with minimum. day or night into him in the dark are the most difficult thing was that we ran out of water not just as an but the whole region little fetch water for the livestock in a far away places which was a real struggle when is. just a tense murray alone high school today a professional photographer has come to lead a workshop with the young group porters this is the 1st time some of the students have ever held a camera the program also involves training sessions with journalists and t.v. and moose professionals. like i said earlier you guys are going to show the restore what's happening in your ear and that's quite an awesome sponsibility to.

live in or maybe when you take a step officially become a documentary filmmaker a photojournalist we call magazine they wipe out a program is gordon into the by an old best in denmark called foundation for environmental indication 360000 people in 45 countries take part in the program last month just made a video about illegal dumpsite a video was eventually published by a national news broadcaster was challenging the government take intervention in this matter was people on what was in it at least on the actions of the mission. to decrease any order to start it and it doesn't want to get. every report i suppose to produce one story each month. young people don't know what to do for you even if they do keep on taking initiative because

they think that they don't think the cat so the young reporters gives us an opportunity to do that because it makes more young people aware about the environmental issues that we're currently facing and it makes them want to take initiative and join us so i think that's why it's very important. john outboards a tough school because his parents leave find a way in the countryside for dinner the students gather in the big hole to do the homework john is making progress with 100 story she doesn't put you on to provide regular school work but john i doesn't mind. it's fun and she's motivated by the idea that she can inspire us to behave or think differently. like they should inside the fear of not wanting to lose what we have which is the little lift of the beauty of the environment that's number one also hoping to achieve or when more people over to

the side of want to saving higher. in south africa the program is supported by west the country's oldest environmental organization it's been doled out at 15 schools so far the young members out of pulled by huge success because it shows that the us picked. young people are realizing that there was a very dumb waste walled unless the adults get serious about dealing with the climate crisis all over the walls they are demanding action but they are not the only ones or the people want to get involved in germany and mental going to a barking evening classes for the public on climate change and things ordinary people like you and i can do to make. a difference.

climate strikes a good way to show governments that people want change but what else can we as individuals do to help reduce c o 2 emissions in gemini people can take special evening classes to learn more about climate protection. participants are able to develop their own plan of action in order to cut their carbon footprint. in terms of mobility that could mean driving and flying less. when it comes to heating and electricity a little goes a long way just turning the heat down by one degree makes a difference as do small adjustments at meal times like cutting down on meat consumption. just us are also apparently we all ate less meat without having to give it up completely that would result in a huge reduction of c o 2 emissions that was helpful information as. well just like the pulse was

developed by environmental organizations and is now available in 36 german cities the workshop is spread over 6 evenings. thus can you know each of us can make a difference as one of our goals is to encourage the course participants to become eco ambassadors who not only make changes in their own lives but share information and encourage others to do the same. at the end of the course the participants receive a fit for climate certificates and then it's up to them to spread the word. and the how about you if you're also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website or send us a tweet. doing your bit. we share your stories. well. do you do sound of the talk climate is that if you get especially when it comes to electronic waste what do you

do when you're done with your computer or your mobile phone there are reports that africa has become a dumping ground for most of the globe in the west so what is being done in africa to change that a young nigerian has decided he doesn't want that anymore and he started doing something about it. lagos nigeria is filmed to a number of illegal dump sites very weak just the local people the refuse is a vital link. of the taking of poets t.v.'s computers and other devices by hand they resell the components as rule materials it's extremely hazardous work with it and water and grown severely polluted by heavy metals and toxic chemicals some electronic devices come from developed countries in the form of the nation's unfortunately only a fraction of food and functional the rest is effectively trash a company in lagos has come up with an alternative solution for handling waste it's

called eat tara and was founded by if trying or tunnel. generates 1000000 tons or tonic where it's talk less of what it allows importation into the country the difference between our treatment and the informal harmless if 100 don't have the knowledge they don't have the tools all the machinery to safely. and dismantle. the device. the terror collects discarded devices like laptops speakers and mobile phones which are then checked over at the company's material recovery facility those parts that can still be used restored and mostly d.n.a. to this charity the rest is dismantle the terror has invested in the range of machinery it allows the workers to dismantle the waste in a way that is safe for the environment and for themselves and exhaust hood is used

to contain the toxic feed. your very not lead you can have so many carcinogenic materials that are trapped there sucked out and trapped trapped inside its are diminishing pretty effectively detoxified while we dismantle all of the glass all of the on the moon and in plastic. after being dismantled the waste is separated and shredded. they're all material salvaged such as aluminum glass and i and other companies main source of income. business has been going well for the company so well that the c.e.o. plans expand operations in the near future and he's happy that the items he recycles will not end up on the legal don't sites like this one. carbon dioxide is a major contributor to global warming what did you know the gas can be

a valuable resource scientists have developed ways to capture c o 2 from power plants and factories that would otherwise escape into the air and they are putting it to good use for example to boost plant growth in greenhouses we had to the netherlands to meet some goddess who are welcoming the initiative. glass as far as the eye can see. this is a ruse breeding company in the netherlands. c o 2 is pumped into these 2 shoots greenhouses to help the flowers grow better. the head of the family business since the investment has paid off. to look over still leaves and when the leaves are dark and dark green then we know their leaves are. i mean we look to the flower we always look at the size. how big are the size whether the selling the business has to work very efficiently with

high tech heating and cooling systems automatic irrigation and fertilization. but what's really special is the c o 2 ventilation equipment. those coming out of this pipe over here. and. on the pressure and out of the bible succumbing to c o 2. the air inside is in. with carbon dioxide c o 2 aids photosynthesis and spares plant growth the company harvest $8000.00 roses a day. the gases brought in virus subterranean pipeline from rotterdam. now and again the supply it cools by. has 600 greenhouses on his books. the crops fetch the flowers growing greenhouses they used to get

a better product traditionally used to fuel gases from gas burning. stop using an eco gas and create even better products. the carbon dioxide comes from the port of rotterdam from one of the world's largest oil refineries 400000 barrels of oil a process each day and hundreds of thousands of tons of c o 2 generated each year as a by product. or organic c o 2 for assimilation by plants or uses some of that. the company has a plant in the dutch poort and supplies half a 1000000 tons of c o 2 to greenhouses so the 2 words coming from are from the shell or refinery 3 it's transported to our facility fire he said this pipeline. in the past the greenhouses had to produce the carbon dioxide themselves by burning natural gas. the

use of recycled c o 2 means that they say future amount of the fossil fuel the greenhouses are the one who benefits maybe even the most they can replace the use of environment polluting natural gas by taking shoot to from industry so they are saving the environment saving a little bit. and they can use top of that more c o 2 to grow even better tomatoes and better the flowers. the roots grow is no longer need a combustion plant to produce c o 2. that means they can concentrate more on that cool business. my family started 40 years ago and we start that they've been a small company and we grow a big big and now we produce in one year about 40000000 stems. the company's booming thanks to carbon dioxide commercial greenhouse gardens

realized this problem of gas can also be a valuable resource. now what a great idea to reuse you would see you i keep it out of the atmosphere well here's another one this time from san diego an invasive weed has been spreading fast and in chaos there but some farmers are found a way to turn this past into an assett. for this senegalese pharma clarin out weeds has become a lifeline. to the. hoffa plant in order to provide his village with a precious commodity few. we make try for charcoal we also use it for the roofs of our houses and enclosures for the animals . and it feels like payback years ago invasive weed crept into his field and there's

a many farmers on the banks of the senegal river leaving them help. with. fake rice over there on the other side and melons too we have to stop growing rice in these fields all because of typhoid. now. right now knows he can turn the weed into a year round income often join in a cooperative run by women in a nearby village and once the bundles are dr jan takes them to the top of a charcoal processing plant and the women take over. first the toughest roy's brand and then makes a rabbit before being press in the palace. the women child out 5 or 6 times a week of this clean burning fuel. i don't have the time for plants has changed the women's lives alone before women did nothing not other than fetching wood cooking

for the household and taking care of the children and now we work we earn some money and we enjoy ourselves with this project we feel is right to go. on if. in wrongs makeshift market time for chocolate pallets sell for 15 years cents a bag down days is convinced now and i stopped by regular charcoal she appreciates a project that is always available for women it catches fire easily and doesn't stop hurting i've used it for 2 years and i tell my friends to buy 2 which is difficult to find especially in the rainy season you can find it we're going to be written. would discuss because villages in this region of cut down almost all the trees for uses fuel so far is a sustainable answer for cooking in a place where electricity and gas out of reach for most santigold doesn't only use tougher for charcoal it turns out the weed is a perfect material for

a cooling waterproof roof to abraham cilla was racking his brains to think of a senegalese alternative to the tax receipt had seen in europe the answer was right on there is no use. to people who are deliberately or never had a type for sure put in my suitcase a ticket to france to show them the said was possible and so it started. cilla built a school and homes from his tax time and has overseen trainee of a local artist sense to take the method back to the villages around 15 men have become traditional factions through the program. along premier modra mother premier the probably will to a cost less than traditional stroll and it also allows to circulate the hot season the parties are going through. it must go our trash moves the last

20 or 30 years the british. entrepreneur. in a region threatened by climate change and ravaged by deforestation cooking on tougher charcoal under a tougher reef has given the village a sustainable means of tackling serious problems for as long as times the thrives along senegal's largest river group people can take this nuisance plant into their own hands and build a future with it. it's amazing but almost a 1000000000 people still don't have access to reliable supply of electricity that means they have a hard time lighting their homes starving food using all charging their phones all the internet and so on par improve the quality of life. it does indeed and we've all got a sensor in the chest to self like many homes in africa need a new home or all the solutions daylight is a global social enterprise that makes us all the products that are changing lives

in kenya let's take a look. at radio. charging station. number like this these are all now standard features in favor karim nice homes but many other households in the area still rely on kerosene lamps which are dangerous and on healthy. favor karim regenerates or electricity from solar panels she has a small home grid she had the panels installed after seeing some on a neighbor's house one night and. it's a big change before we were paying $55.00 shillings a day for electricity we'd have power for a while and then it would be cut off but with the solar panels when we pay $55.00 shillings days on t.v. but even so we have enough light to get the children ready on morning or it's on all the time. now to. karim e.

and her husband are paying for the solar energy system in installments every month they use a mobile phone to transfer of the equivalent of 15 euros in 8 months it will be paid off. although more than 70 percent of kenyans have access to electricity in semi rural areas like here and kaj oddo only 40 percent do. but just as elsewhere electricity has become essential to daily life. to close the gap a company called d.l. ice has set up stores around kenya that sells solar products for homes and small businesses. esther new york runs one of the stores she sells everything from lamps to t.v.'s and solar home systems. today one of her technicians is going to install a system on the outskirts of could jato. john the local pastor he decided to equip his new home with

a solar energy system. and the technician explains how it works it can be installed in just a few hours by contrast getting connected to the public grid can take months and in just 2 years we'll have the environmentally friendly system paid off but we're going to city. and this 10 percent rate. so this one. is the quickest to me of getting to the light it up to 30 is not. something that was here in the know. in the did i need from the new frontal to tell sometimes we can miss it for one minute what not. the lights kenyan offices are located in nairobi co-founder net chosen has come from the u.s. to discuss future strategies for africa the social entrepreneur is now focusing on

helping people who have recently lost access to energy sources. it is an injustice that you have 1300000000 people in the world who have to still burn kerosene for lighting when the light bulb was invented more than 100 years ago this doesn't make sense and we set a goal of getting 100000000 people off kerosene by 2020 and we've actually achieve that goal as of january 2020. technologies like mobile banking have made it easy for d. like to establish itself in kenya it's the world's 2nd biggest market for solar energy india. chosen and his colleagues are now hoping to expand into other markets in africa so we're seeing a real change in awareness in general in the public sector with governments around what distributed solar energy can do and how if we're going to provide universal energy access solar is going to be a critical part of that equation. favor karim these small solar grid means that she no longer has to buy electricity tokens and her children have enough like to see

when they're drawing the clean energy source even power as a security light in her front yard it helps deter thieves up nice. in the evenings we leave the outside light on and all our things are safe even if we leave the washing outside because when the lights on people can't tell if we're at home or not. access to solar power has made her family's life a lot easier and unlike other sources the sun's energy will always be there. that's very cool indeed bringing electricity to people living in remote areas i hope you think what killed sadly it is a time for me to say goodbye i am. here in counselor and of course forward to seeing you once again. thanks for watching i hope you enjoyed the show as well i'm now today we signing off from lagos nigeria.
