however. i did not you see so you got any more so yes we saw. an exclusive report from a destroyed city. philippines in the sense of i guess starts may 20 s w. hello and welcome to eat who are free to go where we highlight green topics and ideas from africa and europe. and i'm in lagos nigeria and with me is michael phelps and you've got i love that sandra hi there are 2 nobody here in kampala uganda and in this week's show we go to germany to meet among who's hoping to talk on the

tight when it comes to plastic pollution in the way that he has some other topics will be looking out today. we look at why being a ranger in the such a dangerous profession. we also see how green fingered no wage and already letting almost 1st stop them farming. and find out how the plant waste is being put to use in my to gus cut. being a ranger it can be a dangerous job some $100.00 wildlife guardians lose their lives each year in their line of duty many of them in east and central africa well accidents account for about 50 percent of those fatalities porches were responsible for the other half we went to months and forced national park here in uganda to meet julius or one now the warden in charge of law enforcement there he has been confronting these day in day out for more than 20 years.

in the morning julius warner tells his men that poachers have set traps during the night to capture animals. they have to move fast to save the animals lives after covering a few kilometers and foot with his men. but as the rangers combed the area looking for more he received an emergency call. colleagues in another part of the park have arrested someone suspected of having killed the post below. the others in his group got away. the rangers confiscate the meat. of the animals here have protected status no hunting is allowed. that came from their communities of course. they came with.

a spear as they spear did this. and in the process of cutting and cutting away they need. coal. and they moved in swiftly at the dentist from this specific outpost. they moved into italy and they managed to one of. their race parasol. at the storehouse piling up. but the promise is that it's an uphill battle the more the readers find and dismantle the more i'm lead by the poachers there are people who have dedicated their lives into manufacturing these some of this. from. their wars of motorbikes which are everywhere in the shops

so a person will walk into the shop as if he's going to buy it spares for their model break he does not on a motorbike and he asks for the acceleration of clutch cable which he can easily buy at the cheaper price and to turn it into a snare and bring it into the park some of the traps can reach the end of the harm that the. many animals also be at that painful science this almost lost a truck to the poaches. of one of this is that such cases are common and that is why he's always on the lookout for threats every day who are. out there we know we have people who will always want to force themselves into a protected area to try and get these resources and. where they come

to get these are sources and you do not have. enough information and enough intelligence about them then you are forced to move almost everywhere to try and get to know what is happening in part of their bike so that you are sure that what you are managing is intact. a oneness convinced the tourist coaches to quit the illegal wildlife trade by offering them work. people like out that. he's happy with his transition from poacher to gamekeeper of the lone buffalo almost killed him on foot patrol. he knows exactly the movements of the poachers because when i was putting nothing i couldn't get even if i went back with them it really wondered you can use it for pussy and i think i had it my to do in the not to study but to the time when i joined in now i would do it you didn't hear anybody

in school the money which i'm getting from from the parking. one is the warden in charge of law enforcement in march is in falls national park he says the anti poaching efforts are already paying off and tourism is proving he's helped to arrest and prosecute over $700.00 poachers in the area julius has witnessed the population of elephants grow in the last 25 years from less than 400 of the animals to over 1600 today. someone for to grow up a mountain and is hiring campaign to fight plus the pollution around the world $322000000.00 tons of plastic german city of corpulence on the rhine to the capital berlin in the northeast of the country.

on the greatest thing and this was a trip of 750 kilometers it was to come up against your limits when you think you'll never make it then you get a 2nd wind and then you do it. he started out doing the collecting on his own he'd make an arrangement of the garbage from the rivers photograph it and put it on display it's the photo design as a way of making the invisible waste plain for all to see. on the 4th of them are i took a photograph that shows a kayaker from above paddling on garbage this is the average amount of garbage from one kilometer of river and kilometer from germany but not in asia and we have to work to reduce that because germany has a lot of kilometers of rivers trying to reach the feet of who's going to meter. in total around 7300 kilometers and stefan horse has only travelled

a fraction of them so far. alongside exhibitions he also organizes regular cleanup events. 7 cities are taking part in this one like oberhausen on a tributary of the rhine. you have to look closely i pull out pieces of plastic all over the place to look just like the stones my boats already full up. he's joined by new volunteers at every new stretch. they are trying resin here around 60 cleena opposite on the water and the river bank. because and i think it makes total sense to not just collect waste from the rivers thought but also from the landscape around them. my eyes. i think it's important to realize that this is not just happening in the caribbean or wherever be aware that it starts here with us i'm saying this. after just 2 hours they've gathered around

2000 liters of garbage. stephanie halasz needs as many fellow campaign ends as he can get because there's plenty of work today but he's happy to have come this much closer to his goal of clean water waves. while they were equal to the so much trash amazing what people can achieve but now backed off because whether the best of contemporary art attempts to combine innovation and age old knowledge to construct buildings that remain cool even when the sun is beating down outside indeed sandra in santa go a group of young engineers and architects have joined forces instead of congress they use oil to make compressed earth breakers it's an economical and sustainable

building but now let's have a look at see how far their work has gone. in senegal the summers are swelteringly hot without air conditioning life can get unbearable especially if you live in a concrete building. do jem is a construction engineer he founded a company that produces bricks out of soil. the material makes it much easier to keep building schools. one of the benefits is that the thermal insulation stops cool air from escaping where a cement instantly lets heat in so you have to use air conditioning all the time you can't switch it off because as soon as you do the walls absorb the heat and let it in. the red soil in senegal is perfect for making compressed earth blocks. after $21.00 days left to dry in the sun there ready to be deployed.

building with soil is a traditional technique but over the years the method has been refined the mixture used here contains 10 percent cement making the bricks more stable and water resistant building using earth bricks is far better for the environment than using pure concrete. production of the brick involves a far lower rate of c o 2 emissions plus residents have less need for air conditioning. 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 beat. we share your stories. there are reports that africa is a common dumping ground for most of the global ways so what is being done in africa

to change that a young nigerian if i buy this site it he doesn't want any more and so he began to do something about it. lagos nigeria is him to a number of illegal dump sites very waste from many local people the refuse is a vital source of income of the taking of poets t.v.'s computers and other devices by hands they resell the components as rule materials it's extremely hazardous work with 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 affectively trash a company in lagos has come up with an alternative solution for handling a waste it's called eat terra and was founded by finding a tunnel nigeria usually generates $1000000.00 tons or phonic where it's talk less

of what it allows importation into the countries the difference between our treatment and the informal us if $100.00 don't have the knowledge they don't have the tools all the machinery to safely take off 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 for certainty those parts that can still be used i restored and mostly d.n.a. to discharge the rest is dismantle the terror has invested in the range of machinery it allows the workers to dismantle 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 customer journey

materials that are trapped or sucked out and trapped trapped inside it's our diminishing structure affectively detoxified while we dismount. so all of the glass and all of the. plastic. after being dismantled the waste is separated and shredded. they're all material salvaged such as i live in the glass and i and the company's main source of income. business has been doing well for the company so well that they seal plans to 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. now can you imagine growing anything on this kind of sawfish like bush one here or could you imagine growing vegetables in it please that's cold when the on jocko months on end and the ground is as hard as

a rock i guess what i'm talking about europe's fun off on the small and no engine island of spitsbergen the extreme conditions there make you apologize for research us and adventurous like benjamin button his mission to boldly grow what no one has grown before let's go check it out. finally a little light every day in winter the darkness here stretches on for months it's minus $25.00 degrees celsius and the ground is permafrost there are more polar bears than humans on spitsbergen. but one of those humans benjamin vid mark grose herb's in vegetables here pioneering idea. this one i think looks good too and then this one tree for the 4th one is on the table. then maher and his employee hey good harvest the crops grown in the lab as he calls this room. it has an

almost tropical climate in the midst of a frozen wilderness and he's planted cress basal and other plants think if you see that we've got the human now off to remove the tower and. yeah because we lift it from 20 to 45 yeah definitely. they're learning to farm in these extremes by trial and error there's no experience to draw on then mark came up with the idea because he was desperate for fresh produce one day he even hopes to grow some tomatoes they would be the northernmost crop of them on earth. it's pitch black here by 3 in the afternoon benjamin's used to that by now. he's originally from florida but 10 years ago the ship's cook washed up on the shores of the icy no we didn't island actually enjoy the season but so how do we cope with the light season as that's the challenge but the dark season is very relaxed don't have to do too much but when the light comes. we get very busy and you have to run

all of the time. whether dark or light vid mars business is booming he's barely able to keep up with demand and capacities are limited spitzbergen is located nearly a 1000 kilometers north of the next populated settlement practically everything has to be flown in including produce this other stuff but that's expensive and bad for the environment to some greens for you. so vidmar is trying to show that there are other options. in toto to show to also. receive him and this is probably good to. give in to your you know. it's amazing to. this treasure trove what give them all about benjamin collects the leftover plant material for composting thank you every day if you take care of it because yes thank you. this isn't a u.f.o.

it's the gardener's greenhouse in the darkness of the polar night it's 20 below in here but when spring brings back the light it will turn lush and green we have some days you know over there in the midnight sun there's sun in theory 24 hours a day so it just moves around in the sky and it can get like $2530.00 degrees in here i really like to do some root vegetables carrots potatoes would be nice for the greenhouse and its builders have achieved a certain notoriety hello my name is benjamin vidmar and doing this tour with you today we were nearly every day he has a lot of curious visitors. i didn't started to save the world i didn't start it i just said you know i wanted to have the freshest food possible. german student helps out with planting in the garden she's a little more critical of the settlement in the far north. it's been physically seminude us bits back and kind of personally i don't see spitzbergen as

a place where people should be living. because it's gone to such an extreme climate and it's so i'm sustainable to live here but there will never come a time when people don't live here so i think it's a very good idea to try growing your own plants here. but harbaugh says it's about more than just having fresh vegetables on spitsbergen. this technique that we developed here can be used to grow food in this inner city it can be used to grow food on different islands so it has many. applications to other places as well so if we can do it here it can be done anywhere this is the most challenging place to do it. then should be a time that remains according to environmental experts 3. mostly being cut out to create farmland. but now someone has come up with an alternative fuel source tell us more sandra village elders are launching a new process in which they can talk on plant waste on dry grass into fuel pellets

it is so much better than cutting down the mall. fear donna now is a small town in the highlands of madagascar it never had its own school until a nonprofit organization called zahara made it possible for the residents to build one. founder of the hanna has come to visit. dr rani on tania revoke wants to increase environmental awareness and make sure that it's established in the school curriculum. the team is prepared a series of workshops. and the rambles on runs a course on bio char a charcoal produced from plant matter. the residents collect dry grass and leaves press them into pretty dark holes in the ground and carefully light them. they then quickly seal the hole to cut off the air supply so the biomass can slowly char.

writer 6 can also be used they need to charm this pit for 12 hours where the restricted air supply. looks good but the waste from the rice harvest has charred nicely we can empty out the contents now to process it. down. they want to make pellets and briquettes from the coldest. they are diluted clay to the biomass to glue together so they can then need it into bio char. it's a far better fuel source than would be burns for 10 times longer and using bio char also has another advantage. to make charcoal i usually use. you know so if it is more talk one from these jack ass do you really start to cut your t.'s feel don't have to go far away. the residents used to spend hours

gathering firewood for cooking. people hear it rice several times a day. dr plains now cover the land where forests used to grow everything has been cut down. there are only trees in the town now which the organizations are hannah replanted. the best way to burn bio char is in special clay ovens protected from the wind. and the rumbles on teaches the residents how to make them. the women are already using the ovens to cook at school. but the zohan a cheney wants to convince everyone that want a stove like this needs just a 5th of the fuel and by using bio char instead of would the embers last even longer because old habits die hard though winning people over takes patience despite the many advantages what do you all know musea saves

a lot of fuel. stays inside. and it's much faster to cook. the. design is testing out a new machine that could help them produce by a char. it was highly praised by technicians from the provincial capital. the machine is supposed to press and compact the biomass in the cylinders more effectively than can be done by hand but it didn't work as hoped and still needs to be optimized. in full of it you have to clean it out every time you use it it's always blocked up. i think that is fair to make you can shoot every fun you can have there while a. listing. like it's more fun to do you charge for. the school is also teaching the children a few i don't know about gardening or the plants and trees here were planted by

pupils on the school garden or. the child plants 5 trees a year and then a ways of greenery has sprung up in the middle of the drawing grasslands. then you see it go you don't like it and certainly we can go in the field from diesel ends cherry i forget i don't think and have people that do it not just in mangoes because you know that may was growing even in the dry. land shruti she's improved so just people didn't. design a team wants to plant $15000.00 new trees a year together with the people of fear donna. so that's it for this week half an hour packed with lots of environmental news and yes best global practices my name is now type which i hope you enjoy the show thanks and 5 by from lee. and
