i'm david and this is climate change. happiness in 3 books. this is the chance for you. smarter. than you to. blame. for the. taking for own hands for yourself on the environment that's all from the gates of success especially during this difficult times and today's edition of the 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 karbala. thank you mia to a one welcome for me sundra to nobody 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 he's what you can look forward to in the next half an hour. when we show you the potential for one big data to protect the environment. you also learn about how designers and spain are recycling old material into. a used to grow delicious mushrooms in ghana. but must we have a look at the knees as a no then does it weather effects of climate change are increasingly not civil in the area are on the so it is dusty. it is getting harder for farmers to cultivate

the alarmed average rainfall throughout the year has gone down water has become a luxury few odd few a pharmacy have a sufficient amount of this precious resource as they are forced to use water more effectively the people in this area aren't getting creative. and. 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 one region. is just north of dallas on the edge and you can pump 6 liters per 2nd down to the fields about that in 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 is as comfortable. just 10 kilometers away beyond these mountains life is much harder. most families have to walk several kilometers to get to the nearest water source 'd 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 the 3 of. the agency also advisers 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 .

if you have a really unusual situation in the region we're in now these are these problem you. basically no ground water left. but getting water to store is also a problem. it hasn't rained much in the past 4 years farmers get their water from this embankment dam it supplies more than half a 1000000 people and. it's just water 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 pharmacy 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 the growth for us in the coming decades in fact the. change of direction in many areas including textile production i'm up cycling the new buzzword one clothing designer in the spanish. everything he can get his hands on from all plastic bottles the items on the label his motivation their reason no plan it be. too cruel to hold plastic bottles become backpacks just 2 of the items made by the eco label. sneakers and jackets almost everything in this great shop is made from recycled

materials. founder is going. to get the idea for the label in 2009. we should want to ration 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 the same quote. it is and is the best. that we could demonstrate there's no need to keep on the indifferent dipper to get at all but we can transform what other people 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 labeled we try always to put in the in our comments the labels on this one says that we need 235 grams of discarded fishing nets to make one yard to fabric.

going to change hoping to raise awareness of environmental issues and at the same time create fashion that looks good. practice journalist brenda chavez reports on sustainability and observes the trend. because there must come when 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. it's recycled over $330.00 tons of waste. the label cooperates with spanish fishermen. they cover the waste from the sea for the fashion house. old fishing nets and plastic bottles are processed to make polymer yarn there goes into the fabrics used to make new clothes. the label wants to make an

environmentally conscious lifestyle part of its image its slogan because there is no plan to be. a. part of a whole lifestyle if 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. how are you going to choose 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 old classics somewhat some of them like this but as i'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 die of us

took advantage of a corner virus lucked out to clean up the popular tourist resorts the team spent about 3 days above and below the water he has 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 cold 19 locked down. away. divers from sharm el sheikh and who got a saw 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 whole got a decade's worth of garbage were removed from the 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 . that does a tweet hash tag doing your bit. we share your story. is tourism 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 the science or do i many of them live from tory's and as rangers gods or tall guys 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 mara river 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. areas upstream there tourist comes all the way to that only really and his wife were both born in this area because founded and conservancy run by the local muslim community unlike in other natural resolves white life people in lifestyle quicks least here. national life itself is a very important corridor allowing wildlife to migrate especially. other funds which normally access this area for but thing and

also. the group migration passes through these corridors although where to the other consequences. these area has always belonged to the local community but with growing communities infest the land the wildlife was vanishing to create the can see 4 years ago the community members put down their fences and 2 years later the wildlife returned. the biggest problem facing wildlife today in kenya is what actually porting as people might actually think of it it is the lack of space and that space is with communities so all communities have to be at the center of conservation the members of the conservancy largely rely on funding from donors and only a 5th of its income is generated by tourism but this year they called on a pandemic as diverse teta the region's economy without the tourist that visit the mara each year many only rely on their livestock as they lost their jobs as rangers

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 of the 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 teres will start coming back by their visit they help to protect kenyans way of life but conservation is 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 o'leary

ja hopes that involving the local people in this process will build more resilient communities and help nature to. how much trust in kenya's maariv which areas of the ocean have 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. on high resolution stiff light images this several web platforms and abs that make these complex available we have a simple. knowing where action is what's needed also helps us to fight against pollution get out and ago. 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 need to be immediately aggregate on. the berlin based start up analyzes data from research institutions around the world. based on its findings plan a contact individuals companies and community groups in the affected areas world wide. 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 anything anymore especially because of. 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 an app 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

. or the digital activists in berlin mobilizing people is an important factor in tackling the global problem the climate protection has made people. at. 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 take but we the 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 the gray. you have all about how it works right.

i believe i do stand up you basically saw the last. line was i'm a lot of patients but it is in the details if you want to muslims this way then your work needs to be very precise and. this woman knows her fungus especially mushrooms businesswoman for. money just one of ghana's biggest commercial mushroom farms she started 5 years ago with just 10 bags today the company generates 150 pounds and bags in each production cycle we supply a lot of. chinese restaurants. so key. to the restaurant and also some of the household. a lot of the mushrooms.

not much is needed to grow mushrooms spawn and in this case. there's plenty of does it cross. tongues of the opera judged every day but feel areas in gonna have been useable waste collection and sawdust takes a long time to composed. so most of it gets thrown under the trash ships and burned together with all the garbage hardly anyone wants it apart from this mushroom grower. the mushrooms are very clear. that their mom come for the bread and there's wanted to comfort the rambam. and that adds to pollution exhausts from multiple build 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 our mushroom growing operation. there are many. other substrate for the production of the mushroom and i just saw that because of government. every couple of months a launch delivery of soup doest arrives at the from. one of the challenges we face as a mushroom cloud using company is the transportation of the role much from the sawmills 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 guy in barrels the bags are he did 100

degrees celsius to kill of microorganisms only then is some straight inoculated with a mushroom spawn it takes at least 6 weeks for the 1st food bodies to pop up i will read well now both men and women but i have a thing i have like 2 groups coming the morning and evening the band has grown german the corn 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. the oyster mushrooms cost a lot less than beef which is another reason they are gaining in popularity. but i was lucky made with being all checking this is amazing i love it if more people produced and consumed regionally grown to dislike for. it could have

a sustainable effect on the governor's environment. they look great i need to try those maybe you will soon have sawdust mushrooms e.a.a. 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 i already looking forward to next week i couldn't agree more all it is a goodbye from me to here in kampala uganda don't forget to check out of social media platforms on the offical website we would love to get a veitch a visit from you my name is founder and i'll be looking forward to having you company once again next week. the.
