well i see despite my job to confront does he does on policies and development to put the spotlight on issues that matter most hunger food security oppression marginalizing issues. or not has been achieved with so much more needs to be john and i think people have to be at the heart of solutions my name is a mattachine and i work at g.w. . hello and welcome to africa the environment to show co-produced by n.t.v. in uganda china's t.v. in nigeria on the deep have been in germany i am sandra on top with me as always is

my co-host crease in nigeria greece how are you today just fine sandra thank you so very much under one welcome to all of us out there we have a lot in store for you today on today's program so let's take a quick look out what we have coming up. with the company booking afonso that is reliant on the ballroom the sun in order to avoid fossil fuels. we meet a student from germany who has found the source to the both solution to do you want to hold blue jeans and we'll talk with pioneers in genetic engineering who explained what you do when species die out. but 1st let's head to rwanda we know the plastic bags have been banned in gali for several years and but their use is even criminal offense is not all or has the country gone even farther to reduce plastic in everyday life well not exactly steal very ideal for

cycling is becoming more popular let's see how plastic is being turned into a room much area to make other things. plastic in a country where the material is supposedly for putin samas creative us a point to speak or an incidence one steep plantation rwanda is one of the 20 biggest producers in the world more than 800000 hectares of it an area twice as large as the city of paris and spread across this green hills the t. harvested here is very valuable but we don't think it would have to worth nearly as much pollution. i'm with you whole whole world pulling in is willing to sydney back some plastic covers without demi becomes difficult to get the desired quality because the sidley is dependent on why sure to grow and to get the necessary money

treatments. to a year more the members of the 4000 strong corporate interviews more than 2000000 plastic tubes and other plastic materials the chair and the capital kigali the government is waging a war against plastic the punishment for the production import and sell of single use plastics is now up to a year in jail ever mentally dence a remedy recognizes that the journey to a future without plastic will require a lot of creativity and present them as we move on we act when you have more tentative when we still have to look for better or tentative we really are always preferable but only putting new players a framework of or dealing with. back to use of prosthetics. and terry gentle care for their. plants is one of the company is looking for an

intelligent way to deal with excess plastic waste they employ 11 teams that regularly travel the country collecting it they use what they get primarily to make fun paradox after all t. families aren't the only one having difficulties finding the right tubes for their siblings. we talked to with their dear did one night environment i john. on do we agreed on we teach type of plastic needed in the eye because. that's where we started making i've got to to being. witches used to need you need not sorry. we've produced also a plastic sheeting. since then they've been one of the 2 plastic materials from the israelis but the point isn't just enter mentally friendly production once the process a stone since it's meant to be sustainable. what do we do we

want to talk around we know there we have the they had located. after using me they are not sorry our product we go back beyond it would bring back their they're there they used to press the point and also we do this same the same walk. the furnace from the us a 5 corporative a part of that cycle the middle we have the conditions storing training courses and insists and remind all of you that the plastics you are left with after planting to seedlings are not meant for other uses must be returned also whenever you see plastic please don't even think this is a way to increase the productions from our farms and to save god the environment they're cool for ever been to a protection isn't just empty talk the corporative us committed itself to the cause pledge incident whatever it purchases to be recycled to use

a deal that's been else. every farmer who gets the silliness must ensure the return plastics corresponding to the number of civilians each to their 4 will make sure they're all trucked and delivered back to recycling plant is also a benefit because a plant pays us for the amount delivered and then and that's progress for the environment more business for the co-operative and another milestone on the road to rwanda becoming one of the environmentally cleanest countries in africa. yes created really food new planes from used materials this is what a secular economy could look like in the future now with that in mind a young student from germany wondered what could be done with the millions of lives of clothing that are no longer wanted and outlets for blue jeans it seems to have

found an answer let's stop with the. piles and piles of used clothes a loss ends up in the trash. left for the dutch design student tim funded lure so together with a charity band you know start missy on he says have a used clothing dept. textiles are sold for $2.00 to $4.00 euros per kilo it's also if i did you have him up with the idea for his new blue jeans. he has the denim shredded and processes that in his workshop when mixed with water the fabulous patent to form a soft fleece the passion is embroidered right on to the fleece which strengthens the fabric and eliminates the need for paper pattern when i started to put down the jeans through a small part. it was very important to me that i focus on the concept and idea of circular economy that everything is regenerated. when the new denim is moistened

the excess bits can simply be plucked off these left at this are added to the next batch of makes. fun of you as we see it in the walls and various grants for his idea now as part of the e.u. innovation programme he's working on a sustainably died and process pressure time after that he can get down to designing most local a condominium fashion. then how about you if you're also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website forbes. this is a tweak. as day doing your bit. sharing your story. and leave your way of these ponds one out they can be turned into a solution to it's a great idea to keep things out of sites i'm very impressed peace and

a feeling the idea is also becoming increasingly important when dealing with many in the same species some of these plants are being used as close to action. of being processed into fish food oh you know a case here in bed as tonnage into a delicacy in restaurants africa takes you to know that you're up to no way. hauling a trap in from the ocean bed do it the head only set it out a day before had a depth of 180 meters but one day was enough for the tour guide to almost feel the cage with king crabs a delicacy all over the world yet the christie ations also pose a growing ecological threat jobber the water you get eaten from the ground we have creds right over your. either no to catch we need only from the branch to the back 15 centimeters. harvesting king crabs has brought

unheard of prosperity to norway's economically constrained far north. it's even enriched the remote fishing village of digger ness so destitute in 1989 the residents put up for sale in an average. young people then were moving away because there was no work. now the village has been revived hosting bed and breakfast and even a beast all thinks to the king crab. fisherman late was among the 1st to discover the non-native species after the nace. soviet researchers had released them into the barents sea in the 1950 s. . but was unaware of that when he found the monster crab and his nets one day. don't call me for what they were the 1st crabs we caught the i weighed all

10 to 12 kilos. we were really all completely by surprise i think about. it one of the crabs hadn't turned up we wouldn't have any fish processing in town to go nor any fishing boats or at most 2 or 3 but today we have 15 or 16 boats on. the explosive spread of the king crab is a boon to the fisherman but environmentalists and scientists are alarmed the voracious predators are being spotted further and further south they're expected to reach the scottish coast soon and can even adapt to the war mediterranean waters. and wherever these crabs become established they have devastating effects on of the marine life on the sea bed. or some species like mussels starfish have disappeared completely. the

king crab is also known as the monster crab it has no natural enemies and poses a threat to every other living thing on the seabed so fisheries authorities have made the quote as generous. see him we have the right to catch a 10 crabs for our own use a free person per. one crab is worth $900.00 kroner. 90 euro's right in our pockets multiplied by 10 and you know for a 1000 euros you're eating a look 3 delicacy for free is. what you. serve says gas after only a short time in the kitchen can otherwise be had only and europe's and asia's finest restaurants norway exports over 2000 tonnes of king crab all around the world annually while environmental concerns about invasive species continue the

tourist savor it spicy meat and the norwegian authorities hope the high fishing quotas will help keep its population under control. giving nature's healthy balance is not easy often there is too much of one thing and too early to over another these thought and t. is the case we've been nearly extinct than white rhino today the only 2 of them left an off and both female now people off a racially looking for ways to save the species from extinction for german and italian santas and the plan could be the death of success for their koreas. the future of an entire species is suspended here in liquid nitrogen cooled to minus 196 degrees the contents of these contain is that the life that's institute for zoo and wildlife research in berlin will determine whether or not the northern watch

rhinos will become extinct so we did all cycle action where we harvest 14 always hearts of course the highest number of you ever got from a rhino and we were extremely happy about that outcome and on christmas eve 2 embryos for photos and saw that. at another 2 and boost to our already existing sphere. i think opie jetter conservancy in kenya and internet. team of researchers led by veterinarian thomas hid a plant collected immature eggs from far to one of the last 2 remaining northern white rhinos in december. far too and their genes are females the last male saddam died in 2018. gravestone in the century commemorates him his sperm was preserved this has allowed researchers to create embryos a crucial steps says chairs that

a galileo of the evan taylor biotechnology laboratory incremental where the eggs were fertilized with saddam's sperm. we normally we can maybe aimlessly is a method to go there every 3 or 4 months and we know we can produce a medicine live from. the embryos are now waiting to be transferred to a surrogate mother. the researchers plan to use southern white wine is a subspecies with about $18000.00 animals still surviving now gene and far too can no longer carry the embryos themselves because of their age but they already grazing together with the possible surrogate mother taber a southern white rhino female the centuries ranges can't wait after years of fearing for the species survival so it is a he would hope that at least in the near future william will be a force of baby no one way trials which is a watery of pain for. the researchers are doing everything they can to ensure that

the 1st northern watch rhino calf can be born in as little as 3 years that would be a start to building up a larger population and bringing the animals back from the brink of extinction. hopefully there was. something else but they are you me just a bit crazy. what does that mean. think to bacteria to plant seeds before planting. can help. drive. the process. but. here in the northwestern part of ghana farmers mainly cultivate soybeans. out in

the fields to care for full hectares of land. 4 years ago for dealer took part in a training session for sustainable agriculture since then had crop yields and the profits have increased. in addition to recently established business she sells traditional textiles in the communities around her village. i used to harvest. the season so they're using it 7 to 8 weeks. there she learned how to inoculate seeds during a training session conducted by the local company greenie today the farmers in ginger also taking part. in the method is simple the seeds together with water before. she had bacteria added bacteria keep passed the

way each cow pct must be more just. once dried the seeds must be so precise distances to one another thanks to this method the farmers no longer have to use chemical pesticides. more than 500 farmers have been trained by the company so far. mohammad's the cheap who came up with the idea for the training sessions he actually studied business but soon switched to agricultural philosophy. his team instructs the farmers and how to run their farms in more sustainable ways such as by using the plant remains for compost or bio coal. the fabrics of kidnapped plants for example i especially well suited to enriching depleted soils. and then the war so how produced by you which is very good soil. properties like

what i heard in capacity and it sold me different also pollution so you got a point i mean it had would have been a pass like. for you that we're going to do it. the farmers can even test the make up of the soil if needed the samples that then sent to the company's own lab although the training sessions for the small scale farmers are free the sole analysis const between one and 30 euros depending on what exactly is being tested for farmers it's worth it because they learn exactly what this soil needs and prevent the use of sex if you know benefit made this prevent in and listen out for some of the said excesses and i doubt what our bodies run off into surface whatever the score simply sheen says at a social fair what art form and in mass and i don't even have an instance since having his soul tested my family just shut conlan really uses fertilizers anymore

before the analysis he found exclusively soybeans but now that's changed. in the 10 years ago when i started self testing with. i produced nice as they recommended to me and then my results doubled i got 70 bucks more from us i always got on the fold and this has helped me to be able to acquire a farm tractor which is health and my production. just should conlin expanded from small to medium scale agriculture for delia coote isn't quite there yet but she's well on her way. and you technologies can sometimes help the environment and healthier so why shouldn't we use them and this also applies to the energy supply but you know about the screens sure sundra one example is blocking

a fossil the country has difficulty reaching its letters the needs schools and medical centers in rural areas are especially hard hits or few years ago our european union reports highlighted decentralization on a more sustainable energy mix as possible solutions and now things in the west african country seem to be moving in that direction. this isn't a kitten this roof is reliable and doesn't inquire much maintenance on my give us is 2000 and you're doing the best meant was money well spent for him and his family he had to save up for a very long time to be able to afford it. i installed the solar panels a little years ago now we have lights a television set a fridge so we can drink cold water out of fuel. it is very useful since we never know when we will be hooked up with big dinner we tend to say no and calls and

parked up on that some are only 15 percent of the population i linked to the national electricity grid in between so could go by so let's keep instead they can now be found a small local shop under the streetlight and may get old also solar power would know what. he had in one of the flotus countries in africa a local business the fossil energy company has set up a plant to produce dishonesty and it is the finest in west africa their medical training equipment and components of the solar system imported from europe the government waived input duties. the production equipment is the very latest it is very complex and enables us to make high quality products the panels we make are basically the same as the more does that have been certified in germany would be 3030 i was playing much of the manufacturing process is

isolated but some steps down by around $170.00 people one at that plant when all behind and we manage this illness cells have to be sold out to the panels manually to create them would you and. i like the intel system has to be robust enough to run high temperature as it can be 45 degrees such as in the. this is where we test the panels when our panels comes out of the machine we check all the soledad and see if there are any cracks anywhere if everything is ok we wear the strings in this house together finally we attach a serial number to prevent counterfeiting. the company has our own company and can supply chains that interrupted the benefit of competition in the marketplace in west africa is officially from companies in his

field so imagine not only did i missed it but neighboring countries to feed. their production lines here this is where we store the finished products. last buy out what we produce is a 200 barrels a day they quibble and of 30 to 80 megawatts annually. and i the company's main customer is the reach to do this year old renewables in the national energy mix it wants to do in a few weeks in 4 and that can begin to give the generators to reduce cost and minimize. the energy ministry launched the backups really program and i didn't see is implemented. enable citizen as well as

small and medium enterprises to buy solar panels by providing them interest free loans. since we started the program in 2013 more than 4000 companies and people have been affected from the it. as it shifts from generating electricity with fossil fuels. the government is promoting someone that would be needed began its planning to build 16 legend of farms over the next couple of years to provide clean energy to entire city neighborhoods. we have reached the end of this technology pocked edition of eco offered as you've seen there are so many innovations that can help us protect the environment on enhance our lives but for now the time has come for me to say goodbye chris celebs signing off from lagos nigeria by priests i look forward to

seeing you again next week and goodbye to all of you view as all of this but do be sure to tune in next time for more amazing stories here on a quick offical and till then it is a good bye for me sandra to interview in company.
