but only raise one chick abandoning the one the title 2nd of the sumptuary. rejected in 100 hours them. when this project started many years ago the success rate of handwringing was very low and with time the race has been perfected and now most of the chicks actually survive and were able to supplement the program i feel that hand-wringing is really important to the conservation of the species because this allows us. 3rd class stock that we wouldn't have otherwise and this helps as both the population in areas where they no longer could but he starkly used to. 100 is complex and time intensive care must be taken to ensure the bugs don't become tame that's why the team also has another more natural method of raising chicks. has just received an

egg that was found in the wild using a method called company she determines that the biggest fight tile before placing it in a nest in one of the. so even though our facility is well equipped for hand-wringing we prefer to actually give to our one of our breeding see a mouse such as the one behind me and hopefully she will have been actually incubate as opposed to trying to artificially integrate the egg and when it had to she can then parent or it which is 1st prize for birds that we would like to release back into the wild which is the actual objective of this thing. it's just one step the put it conservationists or so conduct education outreach programs across the country. these children have never seen a man. today to be saying one number sharing some interesting facts about the but also. gives the kids ideas of what they can do to help save god these 3 are

creatures we talk at quite a range of people. we started with a lot of the young kids in the baby they say or. bend. and that's what we're trying to educate them while they still young and they love and appreciate the environment appreciate the father as well so when they are older they can teach their own kids having made significant strides in south africa . to predict would like to collaborate with similar enterprises in the countries. grasslands and ensure that it never disappears. what. good luck pays off now for this week's it comes from where i come up with ideas. that's right sander

he has devised of. a mix of fit for human use by topping nature's resources this. clean drinking water is hard to come by in many parts of the world. time consuming contaminated water can lead to illness or even death. waiver an innovative product developed by german company inflow tech could provide a solution it's a water purification system that has a triple filter and can be anchored in a river or a stream. one unit can produce up to 2000 liters of safe drinking water a day the clean water can be pumped to a holding tank on land with most of it was a little we made a conscious decision to use only standard parts available across the world with
5:38 am
standard sizes if say a pipe is damaged or missing you'll be able to get a replacement wherever you are including africa that's called into. the system is powered by the river current and needs little maintenance making it suitable for remote areas without a power supply. waiver currently costs around $15000.00 euros but the company hopes to make it cheaper when it goes into mass production. martin davis is now also working on a persian that can be used to purify standing water. 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 story.

education is key not just in the classroom but also in the field what's behind me and sometimes people wonder if the students really learn all that they need to learn for a better future from the schools in the build in. v.t. fujis well there is an elementary school not too far from where we are today on the outskirts of lagos in liking to be precise where the children learn some very important lessons about everything including when you will energy they say 1st time the advantages of solar power because a school generates its own and that's all. i want to hear the sound of what these kids have lots of ideas about what can be done to combat climate change burn fuel for still feel this ride a bicycle use solar power discussions of this nature are giving high priority at this school who want our children to be problem solvers who want them to be people able to move at the environment and not do things where how we school principal

because he is leading by example she runs the abbos heart school the private elementary institution not far from lagos the principal has had solar panels installed on the roof of the building. the firm was such that we have already done it for. each of them retired what i thought by right. the. client reviewed in. an artery the iffy the best the conditioning the lights in. the barn and of which house in order to plaster. but getting to this point wasn't. a sizable investment required but the school was only able to get a bank loan so part of that money. to at some make it up with our own personnel financed the sandoz school finances so. we have issued the challenge of
5:41 am
financing and we also have a challenge of getting. mom power you know trained to manage our own will understand the setting up of the projects the automation parts of the project and then the maintenance also. the students of land that everyone can do their part to ease the burden on the environment. instead of going in for sue for music and music in your book and sources. like snuff see are funny when imagery and i jus to match your side of best to save the planet like the car took some pains we felt he was in the. choir my friend he says he only retards for only 2 days the rest of it is useful upon those hours all humans should try to do on days where there is little direct sun the abbotts hard
5:42 am
school is dependent on reserve solar energy stored in batteries it then has to limit the use of electricity turn down the air conditioning or ton of some of the lights but by generating its own clean energy the school is saving money and producing electricity without producing harmful c o 2 emissions we are way behind in my geria in. bringing up creative and innovative ideas of protecting our environment from protecting the future of the nation one of the greatest lessons we have to teach our children in this day and age is how to make them mentally better and safer place the example set by the school is teaching the students the importance of protecting the environment a very practical way the hope is that they will now share the and new insights with us. nature's energy can be used to help us as we have seen

in that nigerian school but its paws can also be destructive and rwanda heavy rains often make farmers lives a misery leading to flooding and erosion streets are submerged villages are cut up an entire harvests are lost and climate change is making things worse now in the north of the country a co-operative is taking measures to reduce the effects of flooding in this hilly country. you know how all the families of the could team you co-operative distraught what looks like a lake is actually potato in cornfields everything's under water the harvest is lost and that shouldn't have happened measures had been taken to protect the valley against floods. first of all a project manager from the adaptation fund came to see us this and found that other people came to prepare the construction we're going to get an idea of the terrain.
5:44 am
so. once they were finished with their work we were finally able to plant up the whole of the valley with crops eating. in there they dug drainage ditches everywhere. then the project was over. but not long after they left we realized the problem still wasn't solved the water just came back. the adaptation fund is a united nations initiative that aims to help developing countries cope with climate change. has a high percentage of volcanic soil and that means even the high mountain slopes can be used barrel farming the problem is heavy rain washes the soil down into the valley the solution is to build terraces into the slopes following the example of the and south america. we knew about building terraces no soil on the
5:45 am
slopes just used to get washed into the valley. there was no point in using the newer fertilizer. but now whatever we use stays where it's meant to be so the crops on the terraces are growing faster and we have better harvest. is the cabbage green village it's one of many so-called green villages in rwanda that are helping to promote sustainable development the houses here are designated for victims of the floods each family is given a plot of land to farm. i've planted potatoes beans and corn on my land. i've also specialized in leaf vegetables. are especially good for the children to ensure they get a balanced diet plus the charred and spinach sell for a particularly good price. the profit to his selling his fruits and vegetables
5:46 am
has allowed him to build up a flock of sheep again. he now has a few chickens to. back in members of the farm was cooperative are hard at work. anyone capable of holding a shovel is out in the fields doing that bit the hope is that if enough mud can be moved out of the way the water will drain off. the women dig out the big stones and then carry them to one of the many small water channels. the stones are being used to build dams designed to filter the water and prevent further months line. finally there is relief all round as the water starts to drain away. still it's too late to save the harvest. and while the situation has been improved and now what the farmers really need is
5:47 am
a more permanent solution. let's get back to you more and more europeans are beginning to question the consumerist lifestyles mosse protest against climate change and in favor of sustainable farming combine i'm more and more people are seeking to change that when you do the hard drive yes i mean it's even more something can be sustainable if you want to see the buying of the land i tamed rather than a new product in britain the reason i'm more that he's dedicated to secondhand and to be clones budgets or even funds out on the sides love it just last year the most made $1100000.00 euros in sales on something many items ending up in landfills tickled. welcome to the world's most sustainable shopping mall and everything on sale is secondhand which means the items are more affordable limp
5:48 am
around new ones almost every article is one of a kind. i loved it but the book about whiskey you can find things to but honest not that not everybody has something special something unique recycling we like recycling we don't want to buy new clothes new things. i'm just runs the electronic shop like everything his computers televisions and my friends at our nation's. 3 to no shopping mall in the swedish town of a school to know is located next to a recycling center. people bring unwanted items of all kinds here anything that can be used overhead goes to the mall. or. everyone who comes here they have an object if they come here to sell. very vironment and help others to make some money like the rich want to hear but. it won't work with dogs without the. old like
5:49 am
responsibility. every day brings a new find. something light. in the workshop the team brings defective electronics like this televisions back to life. of the syrian born shop manager this work is about more than just earning money. where you have a responsibility toward this environment so if. you're poor so it's not good for my grandsons and the future. to reach you know a shopping mall has 14 shops each one specializes in different kinds of 2nd time goods like fun books. sustainability is a major topic where more and more sweets want to know where and how the products they use and consume were made but most consumers have still prefer new products to
5:50 am
used ones. one of the main focuses in trying to reduce the climate impact is to reduce the level of production. given in things to sort of be really used to. being put into recycling process where they you also need fossil fuels. to produce new things alex returning to teach is one of the many workshops organized by the more participants up cycling techniques and how to use various waste materials they can also learn about production conditions in other countries and how to consume more sustainably. even if we're apart in a consumer culture or. what we consume also makes a huge difference and what impact it has on the environment than a few hours later in. electronic shop the donated television is ready to go on sale . tomorrow hopes that the idea behind the retune
5:51 am
a shopping mall will catch on everywhere and cause model problems of the awareness the will you need to know about the work of everyone and as i said i hope that it will. spread all over europe the war and when that happens more and more people will start to appreciate the value in things that have been used before. while choosing 2nd 100 goods is a cautious choice in a rich country lex wotton into barrow one of africa's biggest informal settlements on the edge of nairobi it is often the only option even getting clean water can be a struggle for years gangs have had a monopoly on the water supply that meant that only the people paid the gang bosses got water and even that was a dubious quality but the efforts of one man wrecking their clout on this precious
5:52 am
resource. oh. this is kibera slum in nairobi pipes with fresh water run through sewer tunnels for a long time residents have been suffering under this and i genie conditions but there is hope now a connection of pipes run above the slums shanties they provide residents with clean and she porter all thanks to kennedy or did. growing up in this community it was a tough life of war what i was custom was i remember looking to connect. to go and fetch water you know cutting it on my shoulder having grown up in kibera in experience the effects of unsafe or to face hand kennedy or did they founded the n.-g. o. show of course but he would soon face fierce opposition from the so-called water cattails. idea of water also the with which to me it was
5:53 am
a little bit dangerous at the same time because young people who've a lot of money because the very powerful powerful men in this community they can tell those run their own what's a system selling of a prize in an age any quarter my dream was to bring clean affordable water to the community. but like pipes were cut to pieces. although he was afraid of the cartels kennedy decided to approach monday of bag then he was a gang member and leader of the water mafia we talked a little bit and then after that what would have for you he really quit a really small amount of money if it were not that's how it started and nobody ever touched the water. for monday who it was an easy decision to switch sides in work for the ngo instead of a cartel but now he's happy with his new job. i feel
5:54 am
but if brauer. of course i'm doing what i said due to the community reaching out to former gang members like mandy who was the key to making this community service work the price of water reduced to one 5th of the former price and the quality is better to ensure the water meets the safety standards kennedy installed a water purifying system is the only one in the kibera slum. the water come from the wall while it's powered to the row water tank our side which is 24000 liters comes in to be now to be treated so now the water is no drinking ball and then we pump it now to the big attack from here the water is then distribute it so these are clean water on a drink of to show you that. is clean. test
5:55 am
