shield to emissions from cars are one of the major drivers of climate change. so finding alternative means of transport is vital for our planning. people from the german initiative transition town by doing just that the provide cargo bikes to anyone, free of charge. most of the bikes work with them, like motor people reserve, the bikes via an online platform, and can pick them up at 6 different locations. and kind of for me, it's a small way to help combat climate change to have an alternative to buses, trains, and cars. people always talk about how hard it is to do something for the climate. but with this project it's actually really easy. people use the cargo bikes instead of cars when they go shopping or need to transport larger items to members of the initiative or all volunteers. and the bikes are mainly funded through donations in

the 3 wheelers are now much seen and love sight in the city. and tell about you, if you're also doing your bit, tell us about his visitor website. then just the tweaks the hash tag doing the open, the we shall yours to raise hers. those cargo blacks loop really robust at a great way to give you legs a workout. the. another thing i like about the project is that it is community based and operated, you know, and a cool africa within quite a few examples of just how much smoke will free tease can accomplish if need crease . one of those is in ivory course, the was the biggest produce of beans, but the reason much profit actually goes to the farmers. although the market for

plate is, will make a woman school party settle to bring more balance into the business model. and the grouping incredible results happening to the environment is progressing to typically considered the domain of men. they used to be no role in cocoa harvest for these women. but now they're farming and producing themselves. juliet glossy found it a cooperative with women in her own village in the southern part of ivory coast. its aim is to produce cocoa being more sustainably, and to use them for making more than just chocolate. and that was, it. almost nothing is thrown away. you see that we start with and when we select the sticky pulp which is never used in cocoa production, we add flavors and spices to it, which is unusual and innovative. the women use the juice from the palm to make products such as labor, cocoa, beans, and the husks to make tea to 40 local women who have joined the cooperative are now

earning an income for themselves and their families. my cell phone, that's what i used to only work occasionally when i didn't make much money. i asked long and i'm a bit since i joined the co operative that's changed. i can and the equivalent of 4 year olds 50 every day. i'm happy because thanks to the co operative, i'm now independent of the majority of ivory coast 26000000 population work in the agricultural sector. 40 percent of the world's cocoa comes from the west african country every year, around $25000000.00 tons of shells and bien husks end up in garbage dumps or are burned. producing more goods from is good for the environment and enables families in the village to earn more from their harvest. we focus this is key for

fairport. i believe we need to increase the value of our cocoa and i want to give it more credibility overall. if it fits with my approach, it is the women who are involved in this aspect and please don't keep their inclusion will make a real difference here. they will improve the cocoa value chain. yeah. something that until now was the province of men, julia quasi, is making a delivery to a small shop and be john that sells the cooperative products. the flavor, cocoa, beans, spice mixes, and t, the german development agency, g. c, helped to establish the contact among the organizations activities is supporting sustainable initiatives to secure farmers livelihoods across africa. she can be a role model for other women when it comes to expanding that coca processing and developing new products. so julia glossy has an apartment and i'll be john in the kitchen. she

cooks up her products and experiments with new ideas. the inspiration strikes when i'm in my kitchen. when i start one recipe and idea for another one pops into my head. i don't know why it just comes naturally. and julian quasi is idea of getting more from cocoa pines is catching on. the ivory coast government is in the process of building a bio mass power generation plant that will turn the country's abundance of poker production waste into electricity. now that is what i call efficient, putting organic with to good use. our next report offers another take on how you can accomplish 2 things at once if you put your mind in it. but in this case, it's not about using with produce energy. a couple of enterprise in people is gonna have formed a way to make something treat even which up with the help of a simple organism. these mangos and looking good.

joyce meant there has been treating her cheese with organic specializes made from al gay. she grows herself the plants and now less susceptible back to black sport diseases, and their food is tasty, a, to changing their lives as to get water. we see that is good and it gives us much more food and much more healthy ones because we are no more using the chemicals. many farmers here in south it's been gone. rely on at the official fertilizes and pesticides. so d joyce mensa, until she had about an equal aqua for nick system, developed in the volta region, y to west africa entrepreneurs. each of the $24.00 pools on the farm contains its own small ecosystem. these aquatic plans plans that the fish know

from nature. so because you them voracious me and they are very healthy. now, it's significant the part about the aquatic plants because that is what makes our gay. we produce unique and powerful because these aquatic plans provide the bees nutrient from which the algo is called to veto. civil serve do all purpose. to grow all gave for fertilizer and raise fish for food. and frederick come back, says the water is clean. i really don't have a problem can, can it concerns about does it's a vacation. and so degredation in the region, the business partners spent years developing their idea. we have seen that soil

be into read it using on for some nutrients for, for farming. and it's causing a huge problem and for the environment as well for the quality of food. but it has to be affordable enough to make going. oh, gone, attractive to farmers. the fertilizer which sell $450.00. there was a roughly 7 euros sense is inexpensive. yet many farmers still nice persuaded if i'm in cooperative in a nearby village has a serious problem with sol degradation. matthew de, when new talk to members about the organic method, but many a skeptical, let me know what they mentioned, that difficulty of transporting heavy water. the plant once a week, but the way new insist that the pros outweigh the columns. you like black them, you know, throw the, come across the wash into whatever the switch are fritz,

i was the, the fishing, the water and also people doing the thing was that the police advice document is over. so it is having the lots of problems and difficulties in the environment. and we do have these with some crops. don't come. i thought because of the comic house was not far from the farming cooperative marine biologist called yes he has spent, he has conducted his own research. he believes the al gave lies. there has the potential to turn ghana and africa as a whole, into a hub for organic agriculture. production of argue that is integrated with fish, a very cost effective way of producing ship and red

d available for laser, for crop reduction. it could in future be on or tentative to the constant convention. now that lies not this up light. joyce meant is completely sold on a new approach. she started producing monger juice, since the now have more and better quality fruit. at the moment, the juices only sold locally, but if all goes well, she hopes to be able to expand her market in the future. i'm afraid the time has come to say goodbye. we hope you had an amazing time with the program. and of course, be sure to join us again next week. for now. i am sandra tree. nobody here in compiler, uganda. the ticket and the use in the long sandra. and to all of us, all that if you have any comments or one to find out more about environment issues,
