in the area around 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 fuel on the fuel pharmacy and how the sufficient amount of this precious resource as we are forced to use water more effectively the people in this area aren't getting creative. and. it takes a lot of money to irrigate his olive groves and vegetables so choosey and farm machinery heavy has 3 systems to collect rainwater. he owns 90 hectares of land which is a lot for the cairo one region. is just new thoughts on that in the 6 liters per 2nd down to the fields about that and some of 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. for 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 children. this little more than ralph it's really tough for the people who live in this

region it takes everyone so much time to fetch water retard 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 which can be used as drinking water for irrigation to. poly. the farmers can use it to grow our mons all over and rosemary which don't require that much water.

as the agency also advises farmers and has set up what it calls water for as 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. basically no ground water left because too much of it has been used up over the years. so the farmers are now having to resort to stored water. that getting water to store is also a problem. it hasn't rained much in the past 4 years farmers get their water from this impoundment. it supplies more than half a 1000000 people and. it has 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 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. is 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 and up cycling is a new buzzword one clothing design in this. use is everything he can get his hands

on from plastic bottles to. 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. t. shirts sneakers and jackets almost everything in this madrid shop is made from recycled materials. founder is going. to get the idea for the label in 2009. the nation want to mention 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. and if that is the best

. that we could demonstrate there's no need to get the independent vote to get the trial but we can transform what other people call a waste into parliament yawn 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 government believe it or not this one says that we need 235 grams of discarded fishing nets to make one yards of fabric. going to choose hoping to raise awareness of environmental issues and at the same time create fashion that looks good. journalist from the chavez reports on sustainability and observes the trend. of 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 i

don't know well says it's recycled over 330 tons of waste taken from the sea 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 that goes into the fabrics used to make new clothes. the label wants to make an environmentally conscious lifestyle part of its image as its slogan 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. how are you going to choose continuing news

experiments with cycling and hopes. to catch on in more mediterranean countries. now and there are some very front plastic pieces in that report and it's hard to believe that most of them are made from old plastics somewhat some of them like this because of 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 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 covert 19 lock down. whale. 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 websites oh send us a tweet hash tag doing your best. we share your story. is tourism a curse or a blessing this is a question that comes up in many tourist hot spots in kenya appears divided among the messiah population they are about 3000000 messiah in total i many of them live from tourism as rangers gods or tall god i guess near to when the coronavirus put an end to tourism it also put an end to this source 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 kenya's famous mossimo national park these 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 river is heavily polluted because of the activities of. the 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 and can suffer see run by the

local muslim community unlike in other natural results white life people in lifestyle quickly steer. national life itself is a very important corridor allowing wildlife to migrate especially. elephants we normally access this area for by thing and also. they grow 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 they can see 4 years ago the community members put down their fences and 2 years later the word life 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 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 has devastated the region's economy without the 2 areas that visit the mara 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 of with whom 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 wildlife but conservation is like only rijad worry that this may no longer work so we need. a paradigm shift in the 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 washes off 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 up on high resolution still flight

images this several web platforms and apps 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. 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.

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 worldwide. publicize their project and allow users to help fund them. data analysis can help to identify and address environmental problems move 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 you know whether it's anything anymore especially because of social media and people like to have a picture of having these maps and this imo this has 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 and 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 for dickson has made people. 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 we have the low carbon footprint that is amazing isn't it speaking of low carbon footprint our next report is about. stuff follow who goes my shrooms in ghana but in a very unusual resources 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 a double is a lot of details if you want to delicious mushrooms this way then your work to be very precise and. this woman knows how fungus especially mushrooms businesswoman for. money just one of ghana's

big commercial mushroom farms she stands at 5 years ago with just 10 bags today the company generates 150 pounds and sperm banks in each production cycle we supply a lot of. chinese restaurants. so key. to the restaurants and also some of the household. a lot of the mushrooms. not much is needed to grow mushrooms spawn and in this case sawdust. there's plenty of us prof tongues of the opportunist every day but the areas in guyana have been useable waste collection and sawdust takes a long time to composed. so most of it gets thrown on to 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 a better mouse but there's word for it. and that adds to across air pollution exhausts from traffic and trash burning is an unhealthy mix. reducing the amount of air pollution was something on the fore to come to consideration when she set up our mushroom growing operation. there are many obscenities at the substrate for the production of the mushroom and i told. the government told. every couple of months a launch to levy a suit doest arrives at the from. one of the challenges we face as

a mushroom cloud using company is the transportation of the roma 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 say 100 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 will read where now men and women but i have a thing i have like 2 groups the morning and evening. demand has grown german the corner 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. was lucky read we believe all checking this is amazing i love it if more people to just and consume it regionally grown produce like for me for most rooms 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 motions 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'm no it's i'm already looking forward to next week i couldn't agree more all it is

a goodbye for me to here in kampala uganda don't forget to check out of social media platforms. africa website we would love to get a veitch a visit from you my name is founder and i'll be looking forward to having your company once again next week. oh.
