the high rise concert of the dresden symphony orchestra. 16. happiness is for everyone schumann penises are very different from primates you know we have a totally ridiculous i'm emphasizing view nature and they're being that this is climate change crisis sex happiness in 3 books you get smarter for free get over your books on. we have to treat each one is based on the size of our shoes and the air that is measured by the amount of carbon emissions we called for that we know we welcome to

this special edition of the q africa african environment show this week we will be focusing on sustainable living but before we get started let's welcome my charming colleague in kampala hi there sandra hi hello everybody else you've just had on today's program we want to take a closer look at just how much the idea of sustainable living is catching on here in africa and how much more we can only do yes you and i to make these a better was i am sundra to know and he is what is coming up shortly. going to go on a mission to even be competent looking cars and residents to make their districts greener. we've also moved i don't need an income order in lagos nigeria is a tough economy and the forcing it will be moving. on to find anything ghana when we find out how to get the young people all fired up about something in a way that is both of them. we start the show in

a neighboring kenya grazing land becomes even a bit more on moment people are looking for common themes they're saying me nor my the way of life. on a few have now started thinking they don't need lots of money for that and more money will. later forest is a great place for wild bees to leave their north fields or pesticides and very few people. the members of my site people who do live in the area traditionally collect wild honey in the forests it's a boring us and dangerous activity but last year about corn and 14 other men went into the beekeeping business setting up 10 hives in the forest they don't take up much space and they are environmentally friendly. and they get to get money and an income generating activity and this helps to uplift.

the life. like no greater number of. young men yeah i don't. know who and getting him money. and. it has become very hard to make a living the traditional way and some you know magic pastoralist some men still have as many as a 1000 head of cattle. but nowadays they are the exception more and more looking for other ways to make a living. a major reason is frequent periods of drought that means dried out pasture land and less for the cattle to eat and drink another reason is that the land where they graze their

heads is strength it also has to be shared with wild animals. patrick. has been observing this development for years now he is himself from outside and the local community official and has close ties to the people living here still observe centuries old traditions but they are being forced to change in order to survive. biggest challenges the loss of land loss of land easy and large is going to be subdivided that would reduce the number of less which we rely on because that is the only thing that land can support that if you. number 2 is the climate change grains have a predictable. you cannot plan you cannot invest because of the future that end is not clear for us. climate change and lots of it a couple of 100 kilometers to the north east in narrow be african beekeepers only

commercial companies devoted to the development of the beekeeping and honey industry most of the 20 employees make cards for 2 beekeepers. and simu only runs the from his skin to see honey production in kenya grow. intreat 80 percent of the honey consumed in the country is imported from tanzania but it will take time to build up a network of supply and marketing china has more people need to go into beekeeping . biggest challenge is getting enough money we can't get enough and that's the challenge because the market is that it's not the short market it's the challenge is getting enough and the small amount of honey so far produced in lead time is not center tonight or beef it is sold in nearby villages but if production is carried out and if movie keeping project size toughest the future of the

industry in kenya made proved to be sweet. well before we get into more examples of sustainable living we thought it would be good to get a better sense of want to sustainability actually means here in africa i think you can help us with that. indeed i can santa and in order to find out more about what fox is fully involved in how sustainable our continents communities can be i measure with identity i can share most of the green institute here in lagos finally we get to see i don't want to see whether we talk about this motto sustainable living and sometimes i wonder how many people where or even understand the idea of sustainability itself sustainability let me give an example like i am a lecturer and when i was teaching my students about 400 a few times. and i simply asked

a question like what does that mean. and you're looking at me like you know you know. what are you talking about so i just give you a very simple example of oh my you're right and vice. what do you think that he says say that some will say oh i'm just writing my soup but basically it's for poor people it's not necessarily it paul might they think about bicycle as a means of your transport as yourself when you're campers by daddy doing to you could be fits you know yes i mean cost of a fee taken up to it so that sets a school you know and is saving money so it's a win win situation and that's when they start thinking and united under you going green is that when we situation is adults in the skews the attributes that it's necessary in also money get resources that we can have a habitable planets and achieve ship prosperity a lot of people still don't understand what it means to drive with the environment in my to live with the environment and the suit so charts everywhere how do we get

the people to buy and mostly when the country at the bottom of the prayer was so trying to get food access see clean water security what it wants and what we're looking at see you being on the on the top of the pyramid actualization so do people have access. the cream water who have access to basic needs is way of excess of this and they start thinking oh ok my environment so forced we have to stop with the basic needs you know is. ok and then 2nd we have to take it from the grassroots from elementary school and that's like a mild amazing show with fun like the grandkids so this is a club suit promotes. responsivity they go home and they tell mommy and daddy and under their wine on the window and true you know someone wanted to try some time the kid was like new mom you can't do that you can't do that so you know is against you know. your debts in the area of making developments not clean so you know those little kids they'll go home until their parents and your parents who have

a reflection and say ok you know i want to be the change but what do you think is it even taking or taking who we need to start looking at the youths and we start giving them reason incentives by sense is a must see you just the money but you have to let them see that ok you know what you can be an intrapreneur you can do stuff like. making plastic using it for 'd maybe like oil production isn't it for putin things they're making money they can they can sell those bricks and then they make money from meat. taken off. non-biodegradable plastic from the environment and socially down honey he's also helping the local. economy nigeria africa and the rest of the world coming together to assist in the but they do you see any synergy or are we having people pouring instead of coming together we're all on this one globe so whatever happens in china is going to get to nigeria and we've just learned from that so it's it's a collaborative effort is a shared vision with all of them together thank you so yeah it was.

all right i think we had to send a go now to meet some more individuals dedicated to helping the planet and n.g.o.s greening the suburbs of the capital of the car by planting trees and more importantly they've drawn the local residents into the projects that's crucial because it's only once people have discovered the benefits of trees that they can protect and take care of their. planting trees is now a days sundays favorite activity. she and a group of volunteers want to make this sandy parking lot on the outskirts of the car more hospitable. i'm planting a salmon and. it's a shame tree that can grow up to 20 metres. a large square

full of shady trees a place to hold celebrations and festivals somewhere to meet the neighbors that the vision of a local n.g.o.s has managed to win over the local residents. living on. the. important people need greenery and as i see it those who respect the environment respect themselves. so we must do what we can to combat desertification by planting trees all over the city. but it's not enough to just plunge trees you need to nurture them as well day after day. it's imperative to involve the local population that's what guarantees the survival of the trees or. the n.t.o. actually took its name from a tree in a bed a is the word former in the wall of language it's

a versatile tree its leaves and fruit can be eaten or used for medicinal purposes. scientists have proven that trees bring rain by contributing to the transpiration they trigger precipitation in the clouds more trees mean more rain and the more we cut down the less rain there is one that they say deserts advance but they don't it's humans that make it possible so things must change we must all plan. big cities are growing as a graph taking speed in senegal. in the past 60 years the country has lost around hof of its forests to urbanization. 10. ends of thousands of hectares of woodlands continue to be destroyed every year. yet in focus with them there's a lot of pressure on urban centers the population is rising there's more

construction and fewer green spaces and trees we're neglecting nature and that's why desertification is growing worse in our country. the result sure sure nature and more irregular wet seasons in the past the rain began in june and lasted 3 months now and things have changed. everyone knows the trees are useful but we don't give ourselves the means to plant them as a result with operation 1000000 trees and what we're doing in the neighborhood we are introducing people to the importance of trees the importance of greenery and one day these trees will provide much needed shade offering city dwellers rest bite from the burning sun having planted 750000 trees last year nobody is aiming for a 1000000 in 2021 way to gauge how well we are doing when it comes to sustainable living is by looking at the health of wildlife populations penguin colonies in

south africa suffering as a result of overfishing in their habitat to the point of putting them on the park to extinction down there are plans to lead them to other regions where this plane to fish for them to heart how find out in this week's doing your job. african penguins inhabit just a few select locations among the coasts of namibia and south africa in recent decades their population has plummeted due to human interference ranging from people stealing their eggs to fishing fleets depriving them of their primary source of food. conservationists of hatched a cunning plan to lure the penguins to better fishing grounds on the coast of south africa's to hope nature reserves are disproved jalen creates decoys out of cement they're intended to trick the birds into thinking there are already penguins

settled here. when we went to site to install them we also look at the site from many different angles and time visualize the way thing winds and the way i think one thing the idea is to entice the endangered birds to start new breeding colonies one of the biggest challenges we faced is that no one's ever done this before for the african penguin so we've had to learn a lot so as we go along the project organizers hope that penguins will take the plunge and relocate. and how about you if you're also doing your tell us about it visit our website or send us a tweet. hash tag doing your bit. we share your story. those decoys looks

so real i wonder how many thanks and happy this way that sets on there but after seeing them we probably could all use a little knocking here and again to open our eyes to new approaches it's not so sandra. yes i suppose it is in new york especially when it comes to science thinking ability we tend to be creatures of habit and much of our consumer behavior is based on years of conditioning but that's when noggin comes in it is a practice the tries to gently entice consumers to make certain choices some of which can be good for the planet. gotta forgive if you walk through here and then you have to turn towards this stand it would be better if you could walk straight to it. and it should be at an angle. is the advice in the manager of this supermarket in berlin on ways to draw shoppers attention to regional organic products. as if this is

a bit better you come along here and see it immediately and now if we just had something like. something from brandenburg from the countryside perhaps a piece of wood. the manager is not yet convinced mathias still wants to try out various things regional organic products also tend to be more eco friendly europeans buy lots of imported goods bananas coffee chocolate with a much larger c o 2 footprint. many people know that regional products are more sustainable but that doesn't necessarily lead to a change in the way they shop. wants to suddenly encourage consumers to think twice the approach she deploys is known as nudging. basically it's about positioning products in the way that people will be more likely to pick them up. who studied social sciences wrote the 1st academic paper in germany on. could it be considered

manipulation. that's a charge that one often hears but the difference between nudging and manipulation is that nudging is used for positive purposes because if he were to. take meat consumption for example in ecological terms it's much too high what kind of notes might make a difference here placing vegetarian sausages right next to meeting when. people who are already environmentally conscious go looking for products that are organic and regional and they'll buy them. the way nudging is meant to reach those who don't pay attention to those kinds of things. now shoppers here will come face to face with vegetarian alternatives to meet this isn't easy nudge it's evidently hard to redirect attention to an entire display is looking for some good props and if you're not going to do this i'd like it to be larger more eye catching so you

get the message at once organic and regional to be overflowing and i thank you and . they explore the store room but don't find anything particularly appealing to use as decoration. talk of what else could we do. things our heads outdoors to scavenge branches will certainly develop nature even in a supermarket he says there are many ways to nudge people to act in a more eco friendly way. so my fear for example if you could see how much water you use when you take a shower and how many daily rations of water that amounts to for people affected by drought it would be pretty shocking but i know that's an extreme example but the idea is to grab your attention and make you think about doing things differently. that's. crazy has come up with another way to know of shoppers at the supermarket to consider eco friendly products. fish from 44 hours of birdsong just.

this doesn't have an immediate effect the customers just walk by. knows all too well that a good nudge is not something you can pull out of thin air. well buying locally grown produce is definitely a good way to reduce the strain on knowing right from it here in africa outdoor markets have a long standing tradition however an increasing number of factory made goods also soared shops on markets and as we know things like aren't usually packaged in plastic. that's very true sondra and if we don't watch out a lot of those fucking and other wastes end up in streets and the parks getting into the habit of proper whiz disposal constant soon enough and that's why one gun and school has made environmentalists studies part of its curriculum. saying. that

the movie was big once a week about junior high school the kids have a class on environmental studies. where riyaaz are on this when the premise is what's dead we need to see if you feel sorrow and decide what's going to talk to us. this. fall sick. most of those who brood. in the class the young people on things like how to properly separates trust for recycling their mortal harvest the west they discovered that paper and plastic are valuable resources that can be sold for cash income from them has helped finance projects and study materials and the school run through paris came and they were like a good point about recalls at home says they used to put all rubbish is the

simplest they realize lol says the children came back to come and fix their house assault when did brutes. because of the bottles and such it's weird because it generates income from the us so much happens when the content is our food they're picked up by the n.g.o.s and barrowman $360.00 s is said to have the initiative the american intentionally put children at the center of the project. we've learned that children may not be decision makers but they're great influencers so i'll think of the example if you've ever been around a child i think we've all found ourselves doing things just to keep the peace or not to be bothered a little bit longer when as this came to her in a 5 years ago never and how i just dreams would she have predicted that one day she'd be the head of the country's largest plastic recycling film environment $360.00 is a mixture of n.g.o.s and company. in income israel invested in new programs last

year we were cycled right at 150 or so tons of plastics not think about 200 tons of paper with is this essentially was able to support all 43 schools on our recycling program we employ 13 people at environment 360 so 10 of those have actually been paid out for the rest cycling services. this is a 10 minute town a poor settlement outside that has a container port on one side and industrial park on the other this is where environment 360 has set up is fast recycling center throughout the day steady stream of people brings material they have got that in their districts here for sorting and weigh up to 5 tonnes of plastic a month the company pays by kilo caution and interesting rule is make some minute a plastic

a plastic with free community everywhere you go everybody knows about waste money to buy signal between and then don't know how to manage or even keep waste and we wouldn't see plastics just lying down i don't have to sorts they come in plastic based on color and quality for further processing she's been doing the job longer than anyone else here and helped organize the women in the neighborhood into our west because association oh. yes sometimes the work is disgusting. but environment 360 provides us with everything we need. we have a shower here and we can wash our clothes after work. so when we go back to the community nobody knows how dirty we sometimes are you think room different than the environment 360 well pick up the field socks later.

junior high school is out for the day time to gather up the west that's ended up in the schoolyard in the cause of the day. don't forget to wash your hands afterwards nowadays these kids in ghana clean up the west they have produced as a matter of cause. it's really inspiring to see those young people taking responsibility for the environment it makes the future look a little brighter we've come to the end of our equal africa special on sustainable living we hope you enjoyed the program i'm now if i may see you again soon and that goes for you too. so long nieto so well and for you all of us please don't forget you could always get the letters from it off because instagram facebook to would also love to hear your thoughts on ideas on how to live more sustainable so please do send us your thoughts and of course be sure to join us
