we are working tirelessly to keep you informed on all of our platforms we're all in distributing together and we're making sure you stay safe everybody stay single stay say the least a safe is really interesting. taking for your own hands for yourself and the environment that's often the treats of success especially during this difficult times and there's additional b. who africa we will introduce you to a lot of different people who are doing just that with various initiatives to help me and bob welcome to the show i'm now outside we're coming to you from lagos and

i'll be saying a big hello to my colleagues around in canberra hello sandra thank you and a one welcome for me sundra to no video here in kampala uganda you are absolutely right near to on the topic we'll meet the messiah in kenya diverse in egypt and so much more here's what you can look forward to in the next half an hour. we show you the potential for one big data to protect the environment. you also learn about how design is in spain are recycling old material into cheap fashion. advice husks they used to grow delicious mushrooms in ghana. but must we have a look at an easy as a no then does it where the effects of climate change are increasingly not civil in the repairs are on the so it is dusty. sufficient amount of this

precious resource as they are forced to use water more effectively the people in this area. getting creative. it takes a lot of water to irrigate his olive groves and vegetables so. heavy has 3 systems to collect rainwater. he owns 90 hectares of land which is a lot for the cairo while the region. is just north of dallas on budget and can pump 6 liters per 2nd down to the fields and summer the system runs for 16 to 17 hours a day we use less water in the cooler winter months the still enough rain and with our well we always have enough water. in this way. not everyone's situation as comfortable. just 10 kilometers away beyond these mountains life is

much harder. for. most families have to walk several kilometers to get to the nearest water source to cover their daily needs they might have to make a number of trips back and forth. jobs like to do requires 250 liters of water every day just for his animals and his fields. he needs an additional 40 liters for himself his wife and their 3 children. and this will not happen no it's really tough for the people who live in this region it takes everyone so much time to fetch water retired our children can carry on doing this every day it's a burden on the entire region. we still have no running water at home it affects our quality of life it's so hard we're all trying to find solutions and ahead of.

systems that collect rainwater could offer the people has some relief. and now hundreds of being built with the help of a german development agency. until now a large part of the rainwater head was going on you just. catch the rain water that runs off the houses and it can be used as drinking water for irrigation to. the farmers can use it to grow our moans and rosemary which don't require that much water. with the agency also advises farmers and has set up what it calls water forums constructive strategies are developed and farmers can discuss which plants they could that would use less water.

we have a really unusual situation in the region we're in now these are these but we. basically know groundwater left because too much of it has been used up over the years. so the farmers are now having to resort to stored water. getting water to store is also a problem. that hasn't rained much in the past 4 years farmers get their water from this impoundment dam it supplies more than half a 1000000 people and. it has also levels decline it's being pumped further and further across the country. and that has a direct impact on the people who live here. pressure is mounting even on the farmers who didn't think they have to worry about that water supply. in some places water is actually being stolen.

there are an estimated 20000 illegal wells in china. that's why raising awareness of the problem is so important. if nothing changes farmers and that animals will no longer be able to survive in these mountains. and then the region might soon become uninhabited. using our resources wisely will be able to grow out in the coming decades in fact the. change of direction in many areas including textile production i'm cycling new buzzword one clothing designer. everything he can get his hands on from plastic bottles to clear items on label his motivation there is no plan to be. transformed into cruelty jackets plastic bottles become backpacks just 2 of the items made by the.

sneakers and jackets almost everything in this madrid shop is made from recycled materials. founder is going. to get the idea for the label 2009. was the frustration with the amount of waste we're creating in the world i believe the most sustainable think too was not to keep on using natural resources so recycling could be a solution if we were to make a new generation of recycled products with this and quite a. and if that is the best. that we could demonstrate there's no need to keep on the independent put together a troll but we can transform what other people call waste into polymer yarn fabrics and products. these flip flops are made of old car tires they're 100 percent recycled and don't even need glue the labels reveal what goes into these products.

all this label to try always to put in the government the labels not this one says that we need 235 grams of discarded fishing nets to make one yards of fabric. going to chase hoping to raise awareness of environmental issues and at the same time create fashion that looks good. journalist brenda chavez reports on sustainability and observes the trend. the past 7 months it's starting to catch on but it didn't really pick up speed until the annual figures for textile waste became more common. now the industry is beginning to react to the problem that we're having with plastic. and al. says it's recycled over $330.00 tons of waste taken from the sea the label cooperates with spanish fishermen. they gather the waste from the sea for the fashion house.

old fishing nets and plastic bottles are processed to make polymer yarn that goes into the fabrics used to make new clothes. the label wants to make an environmentally conscious lifestyle part of its image it's slow going because there is no plan it be. a. part of a whole lifestyle the whole 0 waste movement is growing and people want to produce less waste and have less impact on the environment. than i am going to. a fashion trend or the future of clothing. having a guy in a chair is continuing his experiments with cycling and hopes. to catch on in more mediterranean countries. now and they're awesome very front plastic pieces in that report and it's hard to believe that most of them i made from all plastics some months some of them like this but as we've already seen plastic waste in the sea is

especially helpful for walmart of marine life including coral reefs in egypt over $300.00 professional buy of us took advantage of a corner virus lock down to clean up the popular tourist resorts the team spent about 3 days above and below the water here's this week's doing your bit is evil. egypt's red sea coast is blessed with one of the world's most stunning coral reefs it's a hot spot for divers and tourists. but plastic and other trash endangered the sensitive underwater ecosystem. to counteract this egypt's chamber of diving and water sports initiated underwater cleanups during the cove at 19 lock down. divers from sharm el sheikh. saw it as an opportunity to clean the sea

a chance to get rid of the trash and do something good while they had time on our hands. more than 350 professional divers were eager to volunteer. divers in the hob removed plastic film and other debris that could suffocate the coral. in who got a decade's worth of garbage were removed from a marina and taken to local waste disposal companies for sorting. many resorts in egypt reopened in mid july but from now on. some of the diving will be devoted to keeping the coral reefs clean. and how about you if you're also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website send us a tweet hash tag doing your bit. we share your

story. is stories i'm a curse blessing this is a question that comes up in many tourist hot spots in kenya over here is divided among the messiah population they are about 3000000 a science or 2 i many of them live from tourism as rangers gods or tall god i guess near to one the coronavirus put an end to tourism it also puts an end to these sorts of income members of the not. obvious in kenya are thinking of new ways to weather the storm together they'll do what ever it takes so that they preserve the environment aren't way of life. these women are sifting through the river of the national icons of unsee located right next to canyons famous mossimo national park this tributary flows into the mari. nelson only real

initiative the cleanup he pays the women from the nearby villages $5.00 a day for the a work. this is the most important watershed in this part of the mara the local community relies on this water for there are usage for cooking cleaning and even also the livestock and our wildlife unfortunately the revised heavily polluted because of the activities of. our burn areas upstream are there tourist comes all the way to that only really and his wife were both born in this area because founded national life can suffer see run by the local muslim community unlike in other natural results might lead people in lifestyle quicks least here. national life itself is a very important corridor allowing wildlife to migrate especially.

elephants we normally access this area for by thing and also. the grim migration passes through these corridors although where to the other consequences. these area has always belonged to the local community but with growing communities and 1st land the wildlife was vanishing to create the conservancy 4 years ago the community members pulled down their fences and 2 years later the word life returned. the biggest problem facing wildlife today in kenya is not actually porting as people might actually think of it it is the lack of space and that space is with communities so communities have to be at the center of conservation the members of the conservancy largely rely on funding from donors and only a few of its income is generated by tourism but this year they could own

a pandemic has devastated the region's economy without the 2 areas that visit each year many only rely on their livestock as they lost their jobs us ranges in hotels or traders on the local markets. everything has become difficult getting food is a problem there are diseases all around us just locked down at home and conti the village elder bill caldwell boom through crowd funding the national a team has been able to provide food aid to the villages it's a lifeline for now it will take a long time before tourists will start coming back by their visit they help to protect kenyans wide life but conservationists like only riyal worry that this may no longer work so we need. a paradigm shift in their conservation movement to find out other are alternatives to

sustain the important work that is done in conservation it's work in progress but only riyal ops that involving the local people in this process will build more resilient communities and help nature to. how much trust was his op in kenya's maariv which areas of the us the biggest plastic with problems you may be wondering and we are wondering as well all these can be seen not only from the ground level but also from way on high resolution stiff light images this summer where platforms and apps that make these complex data available we have a simple. knowing where action is what's needed also helps us to fight against pollution get out and have a go. lucian in city parks that was the aim of the online

call which hundreds of people in berlin followed the clean up call was based on data collected by volunteers who had discovered many polluted places in the german capital plan a supported the call the startups focus is environmental protection. climate change is not one problem climate change is a lot of problems that are intertwined and our data approach helps us actually untangle this complexity we use the data to pinpoint exactly the locations and the types of issues that happen around the world that needs to be immediately. the berlin based startup analyzes data from research institutions around the world . based on its findings plan a contact individuals companies and community groups in the affected areas worldwide. they publicize their project and allow users to help

fund them. data analysis can help to identify and address environmental problems more quickly. litter base is an online database that's open to everyone graphics show the results of more than a 1000 scientific studies on marine pollution. on a world map it's easy to see where research expeditions have already taken place. the latest results from the worldwide scientific community are regularly fed into the database. the aim is to make the global issue of marine pollution more accessible and easily understood including to nonscientists. nowadays and over there if anything anymore especially because of social media and people like to have a picture of having these maps and these are notices graphs are providing useful

information in the really short time to the public. another example the global forest change database at the university of maryland uses a map to show the state of the world's forests since 2013 users have been able to call up info based on satellite images they can see the effects of forest fires illegal logging and reforestation over long periods the platform is also dedicated to protecting forests and their inhabitants it combines satellite technology with open data and crowdsourcing. data platforms make the problems more visible and with a lab everyone can do their bit to help tackle them the c o 2 tracking every forest on focuses on individual consumption and it gives you the chance to create and manage your own forest. the oral eco app is similar enter your daily habits with

a few clicks and the app will calculate your carbon footprint and show you how to shrink it it also invites you to be a climate hero by supporting carbon offset projects that help people and the planet . for the digital activists in berlin mobilizing people is an important factor in tackling the global problem the climate protection has made. that in unclear on what they need to do i think because of the language that is being used we speak. in a way that doesn't necessarily explain to people what the issues are we should be focusing more on actionable advices rather than simply speaking with big words about the issues. with the help of these apps and data platforms we can all contribute to the protection of the environment. high trade but with a low carbon footprint that is amazing isn't it speaking of low carbon footprint

our next report is about. stuff follow who goes mushrooms in ghana but in a very unusual on resources great. you have all about how it wants right. i believe i do sandra you basically saw the last. line fungus wars and a lot of patients don't listen to details if you want to muslims this way then your work needs to be very precise and. this woman knows have fungus especially mushrooms businesswoman for. money just one of ghana's big commercial mushroom farms she started 5 years ago with just 10 bags today the company generates 150000 bags in each production cycle we supply a lot of. chinese restaurants. so key.

restaurants and also some of the households consume a lot of the mushrooms. not much is needed to grow mushrooms spawn and in this case. there's plenty of dots cross. tongues of the op are judged every day but the areas in ghana have been useable waste collection and sawdust takes a long time to composed. so most of it gets thrown on to try ships and burn together with all the garbage hardly anyone wants it apart from this mushroom grower. the mushrooms are very clear. that their mom come for. them banning. and

that adds air pollution exhausts from automobile traffic and trash burning is an unhealthy mix reducing the amount of air pollution was something for 2 can to concentration which is set up a mushroom growing operation. there are many. other substrate for the production of the mushrooms and i just saw that environmental. every couple of months a large delivery of soup doest arrives at the from. one of the challenges we face as a mushroom producing company is the transportation of the role much from the sawmill through to the farm site meanwhile the sawdust in itself is absolutely free preparing the substrate is simple yet labor intensive the sawdust is 1st mixed with

rice bran and quicklime this mixture is then pressed into thousands of small bags fish will be the proof medium for the form guide in barrels the bags are he did say $100.00 degrees celsius to kill of microorganisms only and then some straight inoculated with a mushroom spawn it takes at least 6 weeks for the 1st food bodies to pop up i have over $100.00 well now both men and women but i haven't so groups come in the morning and. demand has grown during the coma virus pandemic eating mushrooms is considered to be good for the immune system and because of their relatively high protein content more and more people see them as a heavy substitute for meat. always to mushrooms cost a lot less than beef which is another reason they are gaining in popularity. was

what. made with being all checking this is amazing i love it if more people produced and consumed regionally grown produce like. rooms it could have a sustainable effect on done as environment. they look great i need to try those maybe you will soon have sawdust motion ca in lagos we have enjoyed the show and that you've taken away some ideas and inspiration that's all for this time goodbye and see you soon i know it's a way i'm already looking forward to next week i couldn't agree more it is a goodbye from me to here in kampala uganda didn't forget to check out a social media platforms on. a website we would love to get a voucher visit from you my name is sandra and i'll be looking forward to having you company once again next week. duck.
