more than 300000000 people are speaking with because no one should have to flee. make up your own mind. d. w. made for mines with wilson don't take more care find by remains and now we are feeling the effect of that here echo offer. i would like to highlight projects, initiatives that do things differently and better. i will walk out to this week's edition. i am chris lance. the lay goes. thank you, chris. on the yes, they are projects the really give us encouragement and hope like our top story this

week on greenhouse funding in somalia. i am thunder 3. nobody coming to from compiler here in uganda, and here is what else is coming up. the whole conservation. it's in the d. n a c, a helping scenes at all to hutch and making to be ocean. ah, how a local waste. 5 going full infinity is improving lives in a suburb of the capital and why the won't be more electric boxes or narrow these rules in the future. but fast water is life. so how can you survive when the reason simply none of it's around in somalia? the rainy season has failed 3 years in a row. it has affected a quarter of the population, and more than half a 1000000 people are fleeing the drought in the capital one good issue however,

so farmers afford a way to keep vegetable production going. the this believe it or not is there is a bit now dry up and full of garbage. the ship result was once a key life name in somalia. its water supply there grew cultural areas near the capital. green fruits and vegetables from good tissue came from this region. but climate change has peace. the country on the horn of africa into drought, the when says it's the region was drought in 40 years. pharmacy dog ident entire livelihood is at stake. a lot of both are in the last 3 seasons, the drought has heat our thumbs badly. we had no crops at all

to lose and the river dried up 4 months ago. all a good. there was no maze on the farm to feed our family out of the water. you know they're devastating. drought has already forced around 700000 people from the homes. many leave in refugee camps like come to who's seen and her children. how? oh yes, a docile call. i fled to my farming village after the drought heat the last 3 seasons, and we couldn't from any cause. we had to leave because we didn't have any food or children not to do food prices arising driven in particular by rushes more in ukraine. that's making 8 more expensive to even for the destined for somalia doesn't always arrive be the number of donors at the beginning. they already told us there's some commodities are coming,

heading to ourselves. last committee would only be diverted in this, in the c heading to a ukraine. so what can be done? this greenhouses on the age of mogadishu may be part of the solution, often financed with farmers left savings or lawns. our way of de now grows tomatoes with ground water. he needs much less water than before. thanks to drip irrigation . and because this less, if operation in a greenhouse, it was a risk that pete off and miller, or has been in the last 3 years, there was no rain on our thumbs and the river was completely dry. so i decided to move to greenhouse as to plant or cro plant. although it wasn't difficult at 1st to adapt to greenhouse technology and ads. did that a bit of man, sabrina, in contrast, in bodies, a new young tape or farmer in somalia for him. greenhouses are not an emergency solution. he started greenhouse farming at the somali national university. his

family then helped him get started with seed capital of $10000.00. he says greenhouse funding produces more vegetables and more reliably, gideon hall school. oh i, and the great thing about greenhouses is that you can have it all year round tracy . and you don't have to worry about the dry river or an absence of renew a model for tallow. morality. as long as you have a small amount of water, you can plant any crops in office to let them know what better can thought they have is here twice a week, picking a total of around 400 killers of tomatoes and they've taken on 6 employees as to how much when the market in mogadishu, the traders have a lot less fresh produce to offer because of the drought. some of the gaps can be fields with greenhouse produce. these fruits and vegetables are often more fresh.

from growing casara, like we expect the rain to start again soon, but the river is still dry. there's no, we're taking it at all be i'm cause i was on, i know them, we get some fruits and vegetables from greenhouse farmers who sell to us at a very high prices level. but we have no other way of getting fruits and vegetables on summer medical rather than like i said, i'll cast green houses can't solve so mild. yes. food crisis. but they are an important addition that's according to agriculture expert abdul cadet shit, we're food security. go away, greenhouses can contribute to food security in somalia, when the production of conventional farms is very low in the country, late it is at this time ah, why? so circled though, the greenhouse has produced a huge amount of fruits and vegetables there, which can feel the gap in the market, or alca, by echoed shifter. they also contribute to somalia economy as well. or molasses de

says, golden does, i could just about 50 farmers near mogadishu. and now growing vegetables in greenhouses, it's the best alternative. as long as the chena river remains a drive westland, we moved from somalia to 8th and neva canyon and from vegetable farming to big city mobility. i can start of has a settle to read for lucian, allies of public transport with electric basses. and it bass costs around $4.00 times as much as a diesel bass, a hefty song for a company that wants to put a 1000 of them onto east african roads over the next 5 years. but i thought has been met. i didn't give it this week comes from narrow b, blah. nairobi is home to over 5000000 people,

nearly 20000 die every year from the poor air quality, according to the w. h. o found the ubiquitous many buses, a huge carbon emitters. i think we had better home where we can no longer turn a blind eye to the contribution of transport based carbon emissions tool that environments so nairobi wants to run more electric vehicles in it's public transport network. there are already 2 electric buses in operation on a full charge. they can cover around 250 kilometers enough for the whole day. linus post theory has been driving his new boss for 3 months now. there's no. 2 a lot of expenses in these bus like got a diesel bus. for example, i used to do a service every month. this one, you don't do any service in time. tickets for the electric buses are set to be

cheaper than the diesel ones. the bus can take 25 passengers. internet is free and they can charge phones at the same time and logged in. but ya has services that others can't provide any one that you feel relaxed. and there's no noise liana mckinley. i know it's nice that in the transport company only has one charging station right now, it takes up to 4 hours to charge the buses, the fha missile. so training engineers to work on the electric vehicles, the plan is to steadily increase the number of the buses over the next 5 years, a key step towards better at quality in the canyon capital. oh man, how about you? if you are also doing your best, tell us about it, visit our website center. so tweak hash tag doing your bit re share your story. getting to where you're headed

simply is also the topic of one next report. only one c. tuttle in a 1000 lives is able to reach adulthood many never even reach the water. and it's sandra, those cute little creatures, have many enemies, seabirds crabs on octopus. all love to eat. freshly hatched tomatoes. national park rangers in the democratic republic of congo. i given a huge boost to their chances of survival. ah, a helping hand to cross the dangerous shore ranger kasteel domain carries these baby turtles right to the water's edge to make sure they get there safely. it's always special for him when they hatch them. walker, i like it when the babies come out of their nests. it makes me very happy in

company. since the end of october, castiano, dante and his colleagues have scoured the democratic republic of congo or d. r c's mere 38 kilometers of beach for total nests. they took 50000 eggs to an incubation center where they were protected by wire mesh and mosquito nets. the baby turtles hatched after 50 days. the project is run by the countries nature conservation authority. it protects the vulnerable creatures from the locals and birds. they both eat the eggs. this generation has survived, but future generations might not. to walk. it was ill. erosion often eliminates the coastline sunday manila, like what's door. we have a lot of threats on the erosion is probably oil. rising sea levels and erosion have swept away over 55 meters of the beaches during the last 30 years. the

park rangers estimate that almost a quarter of nesting sites have been destroyed. now a new threat has emerged only a couple of kilometers along the coast, where the congo river reaches the c. d r. c president felix cheese. the katie has laid the foundation for a new deep sea port, the park ranger sphere that the port means even more danger for the turtles habitat . the congolese institute for the conservation of nature agrees and says it was not consulted by developers as follows. i know the results you dear by and by month to month, but we need to see you know, we don't have them. the new port will be built at the edge of a mangrove forest. it's a nature reserve where an enormous number of endangered plant and animal species thrive, including 4 turtle species, manatees and mud skippers,

the head of african whistleblower protection platform. goblin bo don't phantom says the potential damage could be catastrophic. then a left onto main groups are important because they stopped floods in a period of rapidly rising waters. we unfortunately don't know what affected disappearance of the mangrove forests would have on the floods that could affect the congolese atlantic coast. wanted. the last few of the 300 turtles castiano dante brought to the waterfront to day are finally being carried out by the waves. dull and his i knew it and plumbing in the years to come again. we hope to see the baby turtles that are here to day or to return when their adults had rather vinny uncle vickers and then lay their eggs on our beach. this seal not libellous. and he hopes that when they return, they'll find their home beach is still a welcoming habitat. you couldn't exactly call the police,

we are going to in our next report. a walk. i'm inhabited illegal projects bought from germany, a created toxic woods, land. it romania. it's a lucrative business for the wisc mafia because disposal side chug just a fraction of the cost in western europe. bought octavian box cho, new from book arrest, is the time in to track down the whist smokeless. yet again, a case of allison at an illegal romanian landfill. a club in virginia was then had commissioner of romania environmental guard. well, he led the investigation that was a year ago. but to know what the model there might be, a lot of garbage was burned here and to which for 20 minutes there was a lot of smoke of them were for 2 more fires like got the south of bucharest would be engulfed and smoke and stench in fact, all of the caressed suffers from serious environmental problems. several times in

recent years, limits have been exceeded a 100 times over. the problem isn't just heavy traffic. there's also the repeated a legal binding of waste, some of which comes from germany. last summer, romanian beaudet police made a major discovery and the black sea port of con stanza, more than 1800 tons of suspicious waste. their shipping documents to show it. it had been declared as plastic, but it also contained metal tires, batteries, and even carcinogenic. asbestos. dangerous makes it as prohibited by the e. u. we want to confront the german company mellow with the accusations and had to hamburg. it's home to europe's that largest port. each year, millions of containers a ship from here. some contain waste. we discovered that greenpeace also has been aware of mella for some time. over the mellow says it doesn't want to comment. 10

days, aaliyah would send an official press inquiry with no response. then suddenly, the manager appears. as you thought, we are here about siblings from mello. he found in romania on the to re legal lego . no. yes. you being prosecuted there? oh boy. nonsense. it's been cleared up. it's a mistake. wonderful. now would you like to say that on camera? i'm about, i'm not the right person to talk to home when you go far visit and have you have young. that is why we called you a fellow number of newcomers. a few minutes later, the manager acknowledges the investigation, but it says his waist shipments were legal. i know the romanians are doing something, but they didn't analyze it. people mean they glanced at it and thought, oh, there's some cable and a circuit board in there to completely read. but d, w has seen the report on the waste, which their remaining prosecutors had analyzed in a german lab. it shows the waist also contained undeclared toxic components

back in my mania will meet at top, but you know, at the landfill, again, he is no longer in uniform. he was released from office, did his dismissal, have to do with his efforts to stop garbage smuggling methodically. morgan is up according to cooper when these are structures of organized crime that are commonly thought it in the shifting waste from countries like germany, britain, italy, but also from bulgaria and from any itself is the cheperdak little mutable good. this waste sometimes travels thousands of kilometers to get here. the you commission says germany is one of the most important markets for illegal waste disposal or barbara to 3rd, the not to found the locker room. some of the waste goes to cement. factory searchable but allowing some contracts cover up the fact that much more waste is and ported than these factories can burn for cement production of that. you mentioned co, jeanette, i saw the waste and something burned and feel so she but thought they are

u. s h and yet that the can put the investigation as b m headed by prosecutor tail donita. the hamburg case is just one of many examples of trash smuggling he is examining. he says, the problem isn't just as honest business owners, but also corrupt politicians in reason he is, he's repeatedly called on the government in bucharest to take action against trash smugglers elsewhere. so normally means that immediately when ministers answer left me speechless. my focus on she said, we can't do it because it would anger the big cement producers. just watch him look, crossed up and lucas aren't. they have a strong lobby? god, i will not be those happy. they paterny, he had to the harbor for another inspection with us, i just got a call from the you judicial authority about coordinating the case with germany and belgium, elijah in romania charges have been filed against the hamburg based company.

now the courts will decide whether mellow, acted criminally or not. since china banged the import of plastic waste in 2018 waste export as a looking more and more to countries like romania bulgaria and poland. germany is considered a world leader in recycling, but that's probably also thanks to the many waste exports to eastern europe. a similar situation to the one we've just seen in romania is fought to come on in many countries in africa as well. take synagogue, for example, a lack of any efficient waste management system. there means most waste never will make it to the landfills. that is true, crease instead, it liters and landscape the ocean or generates toxic fumes. when it gets bond in residential neighborhoods, bonded things are changing in

a seaside subaru of da. com, a new recycle concept, husband put in place, and it is working. this isn't a common site. here in the darkest suburb refused. a boy took in his empty plastic lemonade bottle out to a whisper in the yard of his home, but bought family a stick in part in a pilot project. what we do for the lender has ever you this before. we used to throw everything into the scene. we had one been and makes everything together and then checked it out even though a simpler than now behalf of different been for plastic bottle salad, one for cancelling. i'm a buffer food wasting all sorted into different policy. it's straightforward and every one he had most what to do. i've been here for the gala, but he really besides plastic metal and paper, the family also separates organic waste. every 2 weeks,

the city picks it all up. the product is called zed e. c. zone a core logic, camino term all community ecological zone launched by the district authorities as the 1st of its kind in cynical. although it is that t o initiated zech in response to the western and pollution problems in his neighborhood. and along the coast line. or military do air or is it a coca cola we're mixing everything together over and throwing it away? if the truck didn't come, we really had to change people's minds center and get them to reflect de environment or, and also help with waste recovery by explaining that which is what something bad west has become a resource and mix a pico colored issue. napa in kalamazoo liberated when dresses a resource dispatching jackass dam nadia industrial. soon as making the most off, it's off the plastic and processes it into plastic pellets. the fact his manager

says that as a recycling industry has taken off, plastic has gone from poly tons to money maker. only one as an alarm or walker on a national level settlement, we see an increase in more and more every year system. and now the state is putting in place a system to better control with management logistics and plastic waste collection assistant. there's lots of plastic waste outside the car as well. but, but no organized systemic met by decentralizing collection activities side exam and use in programs like sec, it helps industrialist like last and again, matthew are much more easily and at a lower cost without them because we would have to organize our own collections, systemic and goal hunton for the recyclable materials in this region or other regions. it would be much more difficult for us for a job in dallas. what is your sister? i believe it will not put it on this morning's round. wes collectors have picked up

the pre sorta trash of 80 families in one year. they've collected 2 tons of plastic and over 80 kilograms of aluminum cans. the system was here in refused because the city land from initial mistakes and now does more than simply distribute trash couse lipper mercy. at 1st we put rubbish bins everywhere. but if you don't train people problems all always be brought. who take them? hon was crock metal and plastic on it. that's why locals have been tried. today. you see rubbish bins in front of the houses, and they'll be there for a 100 years. a lot of people now understand it. cindy, our own interest to live the benson, where diaz year possible. however, it will be a long time before whist suppression and recycling becomes the norm across synagogue. but less than half of the population, benefiting from any kind of waste collection initiatives, or pin dumping and ben in are widespread methods of getting rid of household waste

. new york city authorities here hope the project will set an example, because the benefits are so obvious. a while i'm mabel is even variable. there's no west here by the sea. now. you'll see it in other places where there's been no support. nozik as mitchell. that's why we want to replicate de sac off to our lin every when refuse can signal and exported to other regions of sunny gone export technology partners and missionary on thus a pretty ambitious goal. synagogue cities generate 9000 tons of waste every day. and the volume continues to rise less small and made of plastic sashes. these little packets might be handy, but they quickly land in the garbage bin. and they don't ross in our web special, we chart the journey of such

a sashay from the origins of the raw materials it's made from to its ends on the rubbish heap. we find out why the number of sa chaise is growing and why they're so lucrative for businesses, and so disastrous for our planets. find out more at d, w dot com slash plastic. i'm the it is time for us to go already. i hope you enjoyed today's wonder through the environment. i've certainly enjoyed taking you along with us, but for now it is by until next week i sent her twin over you signing up from compiler here e. and i've also enjoyed it sandra. like you next week, we're back for you again. well, between now and then you can stay in touch on our social media channels with lots of new on eye catching content till then it's good bye from lagos, nigeria. ah,
