the country used to have a lot more green areas now they're gone. yeah. because of people seeking profits from new building projects everywhere the me ah, you need to. now we are reco randa home, which we designed and built. it's a combination of a family home and large and you got the see and the entire building is covered in vegetation. improving the micro climate around the location of c
8:36 am
micro. it's even possible to lower the room temperature inside the building by around one to 5 degrees for me from the at least municipally mark or something. and we wish we could move to the mountains where it's cooler, but not too cold. one where there are still lots of trees down like in a village on. and if we can create an icon on the face on the environment, we have all the penalties in place. now the question is, how serious are we? you actually reduce the carbon emissions when you need to balance

i know the country grappling with air pollution is iran, with the pandemic, international sanctions and economic hardship making everyday life. a challenge? climate change is rarely top of the agenda in the capital, tehran, individuals the pushing and peddling for change riding a bike through the streets of tehran is a potentially hazardous activity exhaust emission levels year up to 8 times higher than w h. safety recommendations. the city is often small that in smoke 57 year old and not really wants to

change this. she studied abroad and now runs a cafe in tehran. she recently joined a group of young people who call themselves green clubs. their goal is to make the city greener. the bigger problem is we don't see the potential alternatives. we think that because one has a lot of traffic and has a lot of pollution, it's impossible for right? a bicycle or to walk or to run. but with the fact is that we're running the reduce pollution and no, it's not really a is a meeting point for a small dedicated cycling community. twice a week. the group up is free. we pad services and coffee. many of the cyclists are women, though they're not expressly prohibited from riding bicycles. a lot of hard line is continue to insist that it's on his luck. but according to these women,
8:40 am
a lot of iranians, differently. most of the reactions i get when people say me backing a positive, a lot of people encourage me, especially women. they clapped me from their car windows hung loudly and call that masha la. how great for eleanor's nose, the re cycling presented a business opportunity. during the pandemic, she started selling sour dough bread. this allowed her to continue earning money during the locked down. initially, one of the biggest challenges was handling deliveries. she asked a few of her kids and soon she had a small fleet volunteer food korean. the very great we started with 4 cyclist about 2 months ago. now the club is close to $100.00. 1 of the cyclists, photographers shown team every week he takes an afternoon off so he can take pos,

juncture that was up until now we haven't had the infrastructure for biking. and thanks to our efforts, we can hopefully make officials aware of the fact that there are people like us out there. but maybe then they'll build bike lanes all over the city. and they go shunting and his friend mohammed a heading to touch, reach a neighborhood in the north of the city. bike lanes are still quite rare here as well. the leader of the pack is period can achieve the mayor of tehran since 2018. though he only cycles with male colleagues, his regarded as reform oriented politician every tuesday, he rides with them as part of an event known as call free tuesday about it. and on years into iran, we thought only of cause we build roads purely for automobiles, which effectively only encourages people to drive them time for us to rethink things and create more public space for bikes and pedestrians in target. and they

go to his goal is that within the next 5 years, such as will make up 5 percent of the traffic in tehran. currently it's less than one percent. shantina has reached his 1st customer. the day of the day says she uses the green delivery service once a week. it avoids my traffic time consuming traffic and tear on i make new acquaintances. i love having tea with the all the people that come here as volunteers, shantina and mohammed make time for t for the time being customers don't have to pay for their service. well, and i really like doing it because i like contributing to my cities development. i mean, it's good that more people ride bikes, but also the companies are supporting our movement. for i know it's not really the
8:43 am
scheme is more of a movement than a profit making venture. like many other food service workers during the pandemic, she's had to fight to survive, but she still stands by her project. i ever leave you on. if i were to leave the business, i wanted something more than just the walls and the for them, the name to stay behind me. i want it to start a movement, something to be remembered and something that could be continued with or without me . her goal is to reach as many people as possible. she believes that's the only way the movement will have a real chance in iran. in other parts of the world, cycling is a lot more straightforward with high quality lane shielding writers from the surrounding traffic given conditions of this kind. a lot of people will willingly leave that cause at home in the germans city of moonstone. well over
8:44 am
a 3rd of commuters get from a to b by bike making cycling attractive is also the key goal of an initiative underway in the city of belo. horizontal in southeast, in brazil, for a country designed with cars in mind. it's an especially significant move for this week's global ideas. our reporter be anchor coach, went to find out more the streets are cordoned off and the new speed limit sign is up. everything through the side is the sustainable mobility officer with an ambitious mission. she wants to radically reduce the flow of traffic in the brazilian city of lower result because it's not going to suffer this. i think we'll do is turn our blueprint into something tangible so we can start working up the ideas to reclaim the street. that means fewer cars and more kids playing outside
8:45 am
though their numbers are smaller than usual due to the pandemic, a group of volunteers have come to help the st artist intended to reinforce the point in many parts of brazil, a speed limit of 30 kilometers an hour his barely conceivable separate, single flowing is denied and i always dreamed of a slow pace, $31.00 which allows pedestrians and cyclists to move about safely o v. as on my soul tempered betsy that says to see them as a way to pursue the stream with the air will be monitored to find out what difference the new speed limit has on emissions levels. the volunteers you sand, cement, and clay to create st furniture. it's the same technique that was used to build the great wall of china. simple, stable and so and while i was getting
8:46 am
locals involved in the planning stage, that was important to everyone. probably what that is this various people took part in the discussion. mothers who use the space talked about their kids, needs older people express what they needed. it was very interesting because it was such a collaborative process about the new 30 kilometers own includes a bypass which links both the affluent area of santa teresa as well as more deprived surrounding areas with the rest of the city. today evelyn and her colleagues are going on in inspection if you look, the cars are already slowing down the scheme as part of a larger scale project called urban towns. ways. it's sponsored by an international climate protection initiative. it's a short stretch, but by forming
8:47 am
a connection with one of the main psycho means in the city, it offers a viable alternative to driving a car. at all 5 phones you had already been using this route on a daily basis, but it was very unsafe. look, this stretch over divide that was really important to us was divided lisa, now i've been a cyclist myself for years my children are 2. and now i have a grandson who is learning to ride? i was creating a better city for us. all we jewels and lots of bicycles. they don't they don't resign. she is located in the south eastern state of nina, shed eyes and is one of the largest cities in brazil. traffic here is heavy. brazil is a country designed around cars, and that's one of the highest rates of road fatalities in the world. for years, authorities have been investing in public transport and cycle pads, but of the 400 kilometers of cycle lanes promised. only
8:48 am
a quarter of actually been built prompting frustration from cyclists. what that is and fibers aren't aware of what we need. the bikes are a viable mode of transport, each principal. so that's why the creation of cycle passed is important to view that it's quite moving to discover a new cycle path. so not to be able to go over the transformation is almost complete. just a few finishing touches from the volunteers overall, it's a simple and highly cost effective initiative. abilene and a team of volunteers are pleased with their work and hope their project and serve as a blueprint for others. so but i'm, i'm really touched it so i'm very thankful to everyone who helped create this. it's required to find this work day in and day out. it makes you feel like you swimming
8:49 am
upstream, but together we did it. thank you very much. regardless of the project is had a far reaching effect, not only has it reduced traffic and benefited the environment, it's also boosted social cohesion, all the more significant during a pandemic, local residents keep the area clean for those who are involved in the conception of the project it's especially rewarding. the children's wishes have really come to fruition. it was an interesting process, an amazing to say how the whole thing became a reality right here in our neighborhood. and this is become a communal space more and more people coming here, which in turn makes the area safer. and that to brings more people here. it's a psycho home. we can both go there only a few areas in which a speed limit has been introduced. it's
8:50 am
a fresh way of thinking about public space. so i think the whole city to do with a re thing with things. evelyn has also brought her family alone to check out the project. everybody said i did. this is what i work for so that kids can play safely on the street. we want people to be able to enjoy public space safely. also, if i started this project may seem small, but it changes perceptions and culture. and that makes me really happy, though you could be for the success of this project and be the result you could form the basis of positive changes all over the city and beyond the to children's one giant problem
8:51 am
in the near future. how will climate change affect us and our children learn more as d w dot com slash water? plastic packaging is lightweight, cheap, and practical. according to the un, some $400000.00 tons of it produced every year. much of it is used just once before being tossed in the trash the pandemic, because only exacerbated the problem with disposable masks, gloves, and other medical waste policing environment. we find out how people in gonna a tackling the issue. this leads to the east have gone as capital a cry is drowning and plastic trash, richmond, clark. oh and his friends are collecting it. well aware that in a couple of weeks it'll be just as bad. again we did that mod done dump side. this
8:52 am
is our little pod, i prefer to keep its face, and we believe that your collective action or responsibility the want to move the was authentic. the packaging solution they've carried out over a 1000 sleet altogether in their battle against the global plastic tsunami. they pick up everything from all the supermarket bags to fishing this. now even waste from the cove at 19 pandemic is washing ashore. yeah, but anyway, we can, we will find some maybe called thieves which are the same are on the outbreak of the fundamental news came up way. it will be great for both reports and use reasonable. my so we do this because i think the use my is really becoming another found damage to find damage. the activists get modest financial support from a variety of organizations. even the you, they're alarmed, especially by series of new bodies, would say that over the next 20 years, the amount of plastic in the world's oceans will double to
8:53 am
a total $600000000.00 tons. the maritime plastic deluge has taken on a life of its own. dr. emma, who of a crawl university is studying the damage done to the ocean. it takes hundreds or even thousands of years who plastic to decompose that it gradually breaks up into ever smaller ponds. the smallest of them, the nano particles, now found in fish. r a huge problem for going a and plastics are made, which i did see salads and chemicals. these flat plastics get in the fish and then we consume the fish. and then what happens? we end up consuming the chemicals into our own bodies. is a big challenge, not just for the ocean and the eco system, but also for human. one more reason forgot to price ahead with recycling. plastic manufacturer mini class has grown to be one of the country's most important
8:54 am
plastic suppliers. it produces 2 types of plastic, plastic made from fresh materials and recycled. plastics. is something that came out of necessity. the cost of money was expensive. we found out ways of recycling the material we're talking about almost 20 years ago when recycling and dry. and i was very little, we have 50 percent of our production as a belt of recycled material. and we also produce and sell to other factories. but not only that is that we believe that in the next 10 years, there will not be a single drop of virgin material. recycling trash means revenues for the company and jobs for its workers. the tasks of collecting and processing plastics provide a valuable opportunity to earn an income in a country which can be hard to come by. after the plastic has been segregated by
8:55 am
type and color, its processed into a molten mass which has converted into granulated plastic. the approach has many benefits, recycling, the aides, lots of jobs, and that be, well this is something that is very needed here. we have developed 3 plants that collect for us, shred and recycling. and those are fed by smaller plans to whom we give always. busy trainings and financial help through ourselves and sometimes through g, i said from your country and other organizations many charts is essentially environmentally conscientious. getting 2 thirds of its power from the sun. how the way the beach meets the city of across the activists from plastic punch, the recycling is good, but waste prevention is better. so they also want people to think about how they live. the community might change the mindset on how they all handle these items in
8:56 am
the daily life. so that's the essence to do so form of hope that we are messing it up and we deserve to make it up for the next generation. this is that message. we are sending over ways prevention and reciting. it'll take both to tackle climate change and not only in gone that's little from us that global 3000 this week. don't forget to write to us that global 3000 and d w dot com until next time take care. the news, the news, the
