using old clothes to become an international trend. so your romance in 60 minutes on d. w. o, what people have to say matters to us. ah, that's why we listened to their stories. reporter every weekend upon d. w. o, [000:00:00;00] a hello, and a one. welcome from compiler. it is nice to have you with us with these new edition of equal africa. the environment a show brought you by

d w in germany. nigeria is channels. stevie and mtv. right? t a in uganda, mine m e z a sondra. nobody will and with me is my for jose from nigeria. yes. hi dear. i am christa loans in ohio state. and as always we have a lot of interest in report lined up for you today include in one about fancy e bikes from uganda. also on the show, white eating insects is good for the environment. how environmental activist in spain want to eliminate the prostate from the mediterranean and how to make farming more eco friendly. thanks to an act, the nigeria live thought rights yet in uganda. ginger district wants to become the vast e bike city in all of africa and what are called up because as i already rolling through the city, developed in europe on india, they are intended to make transporting goods easier. and of course

a. so the traffic in the region becomes more sustainable. won't take, you know, on the right. every morning, he's too young, his children are his 1st passengers. walter on n is a bike taxi driver in the city of ginger some night, a kilometers east of the ugandan capital compiler. a few months ago, he traded in his old by taxi for in a free cruise e in e by developed for the african market. his passengers had drilled young miss grims, he said was in i let me good in the go design was if you're using power and knowledge is in the mental cedar rugby castile africa's. he was the brainchild of you again. person a teacher from northern germany. more than 10 years ago is he was traveling across africa. he began thinking about how transportation on the continent could become more sustainable. many people wrote motor bikes,

which are expensive in high emissions, and he realized something else. 2 tickets vans of africa has lots of solar energy units and huge mobility off europe has lots of ebay. so why not combine e bikes with africa? solar energy to make her go by? that could really help sol. how billy to problems on the continental movie, peaceful dream of your continent. to health make his idea a reality. he brought in e bike specialists from germany on board. together they designed the 1st prototype and realize the e bakes would need to be adapted to the needs of african customers, including the local broad conditions this day, i just saw that was a pretty big challenge when it came to designing the bike. the conditions of the roads aren't necessarily like what e by grade as i used to here, i would, i, in some of the bike companies that the industry tends to rely on may not be

available in general. like in a mostly calvin, come muslims, oper, dixon, most pox in the wheels and arrange forced frame styled in the look of a more expensive motorbike the after cruise. he was designed to be robust in appeal to its clientele. and it's 600 years. it's quite a bit more affordable than most e bikes. and the plan also called for micro credits to help finance the purchase. patients partner in berlin is part of hero cycles, the world's largest bicycle manufacturer. it's based in india, thanks to advice in low labor cost, 0 can produce the african uses more affordably in draw on cross financing with other product lines. for hero. it's an idea that makes sense. africa could become a major market. whether is e bike, texas e, bike ambulances, or water delivery bikes?

the 1st 100 of free cruises went into operation in uganda a few months ago. at fabio, the n g or base in ginger, that's coordinating the a free cruise project. the 1st batch of pbx already attracted a lot of interest in you wonder energy prices have been rising for weeks. that's also helping to make e mobility more appealing. this comes as an alternative, as a transport or mobility alternative that people can use instead of motorized transport like cars, like motorcycle is the fact that it is functional. it is able to carry 100 kilograms of of cargo. so it is function. it is very fast. it is of course, fancy fab, you run small service points to handle maintenance in, to swap out the solar batteries mechanic just from gaia joined the project early on in now has

a permanent position. it tries to save as much of his paycheck as possible. i want to stop the auction. and they want to skew my fellow friends and young people don't dare. i wanted to get them on how to repay. i beg, how'd you bear? it makes walter an in also comes year to swap batteries when business is brisk, he's here twice a day on days when he can make it. he's out of luck. so when we turn into one scene, maybe if the battery is not there, so you can read using light because there's no light. so you have to still viewing the d 5. your team also stay in regular contact with technical design has been billing. should the bicycle lights get a separate battery? does the frame need any updates? bid to teams awaken on refining the next generation of

a free cruises. the next 640 bags are about to go into production in india. they will be headed to toggle denny, picking a fossil tanzania, and other countries. soon a few competence as later to be produced in uganda. yolk impression is happy that he's africa cruz. the project is taking off in full war to annette in his family. the effects of made the day to day life that much easier. wall that is so for grades out doesn't a love to take a ride. students from robot in morocco, abuse. i cavities not only vice solar energy. it is an unusual project for the country. and the team behind it has been set their goals and international compositions. so let's check out these weeks doing good beats. but it's time to hit the road. mm hm. at speeds of up to 120 kilometers an hour in

a car powered by the sun. this solar race car was designed by 16 engineering students in morocco. their goal is to develop technologies that one day could be used in ordinary cars and eliminate that climate killing emissions. pick it up in a while and tell us your v i. d came up in the context of expanding our years of renewable energy, and especially now that our country has decided to go grain in many areas, not god, but the project allowed us to put our theoretical knowledge into practice in la gog, at that of the team is now optimizing their 2nd prototype, the aaliyah dora to which means gifted the sun in greek. the team from about spent nearly 2000 hours working on the vehicle. the chassis is made of lightweight carbon

fiber. it's batteries and tell him at 3 system have also been improved within that offer letter. this is the 1st invention of its kind in north africa and it meets solar power standards. we've collaborated with companies to provide funding, and now we're hoping to bring others on board. we're going to help complete this project and maybe launch a new one. or if none, and the little point you will have that 1st they plan to enter aliya dora to in some major international competitions. oh and how about you? if you are also doing your bit, tell us about it, visit our website, or send us a tweet. patch tag doing your bit. we share your stories. what a great idea. changing the topic now feeding the growing population worldwide ease is such a difficult task. books may be the answer. pioneers,

all over the world. they're developing sustainable product, made from the lobby of blocks. so jeff lies in germany, it seems there is just one sticking point, standing in the way of success government to erect tape. it could be so easy. breeding harmless little flies to lay eggs which turn into maggots with a voracious appetite for food waste. and the larvae can be turned into tasty, high protein. burger's good for the climate and the environment though it's not quite that straightforward yet. but 1st things 1st. welcome to the lum shack of the black soldier, fly, a creature by the name her meteor. in lupin's heinrich cuts is a superstar among fly farmers. he'd love to expand his farm and be part of the insect protein revolution. and the larvae are up to the job, they have

a racial appetite and gobbled up everything from food waste to animal excrement. and true glutton fashion. their body weight increases 6000 fold and just 3 weeks. the problem is you regulations forbid the farmer from feeding them food waste when remote snow? yes, mark. if you're a pioneer doing something new or you're going to really enjoy what you're doing and be enthusiastic about it, what often you do, bumping to challenges and a lot, especially in the case of disruptive innovation, as you might find yourself facing regulatory hurdles. avo jensen. this is why they're currently fed on pink feed, but they will dish this up here is o kara, which is great for our young larvae. acora is a byproduct of tow for production for yesterday. this isn't this. but there are more efficient solutions available, like in kenya were highly con, says also set up a fly farm with indoor plumbing. a rarity in many poorer districts. a startup has set

a portable lavatories and selected places. the excrement is later collected and mixed with food waste a blend that's perfectly suited to the black soldier, fly larvae de la from found on july. the larvae are then fed to pigs and chickens. last, we've had the system up and running for a couple of years now with 0 problems. great, and no cases of animals getting sick. i didn't give off his cache tom's before waste can be used this way. the e once proof that as a safe product as his own sklar, that we know that we need to deliver empirical evidence that it safely hunger synthesis winfield but the e u is basically making that impossible because they won't grant us an exemption. so we can naming a fuel creek, so we're being asked to provide evidence while being denied the means to do so. it was the community guys who gave him. we can only hope that will be granted exemptions at the local level. and that the you doesn't put a spanner in the works. we often discussed on the course attrition her college. for

now, i know chances ground fly larvae can only be fair to dogs and fish, but it all goes well. larvae could be the next big thing in the food industry. will have a look at farming, which as a reputation for being a lot of hard work. but you don't have to do all the work yourself. why not versed in eco friendly, forming a woman in idea came up with a brilliant idea. see for yourself. ah agriculture is a big business in nigeria where they are plucking peppers or harvest and tomatoes, the something for every once table and tasting. but farming is also cool and become in tech savvy. now you can even manage acres of land. he's in nothing but your mobile phone. and rebecca, i'm old, is the brains behind the operation on

a fairly are for causal. and just so common guy. and i show people could are for their basic needs for the home. but currently we have or class of people wanting to be a part of the fund from your phone programs. currently we have over 10000 subscriber . rebecca is actually a computer science graduate. she wanted to find a technological solution to form an inefficient, to see her mother and other family battle for many years. she originally founded way and more forms in 2016 to solve the post harvest waste problem. during cove it she witnessed many nigeria struggling to buy food. we found from your phone program was launched during the holiday week of the course. 19 funding was created to support and youth interest and cultural. and to also create empowerment for the masses. especially dudes and ensuring that the end of a studio income from the photo from rebecca who found that the african wealth initiative with other young professionals to create the program that allows

everyone to participate in forming and with the benefits i put in. because my morning walk for me, having a reliable team do something and i get benefit out of it, which was lovely. i try to find from your phone because it is that try me is the for me i can easily from my point of going to the wrong thing and then i'm getting my him or need. i mean, he's still been in the market for remote for, i mean is booming and rebecca is making sure that quality control is a top priority. for instance, she and her team to keep the use of pesticides to a minimum, terry house, sorry analyses. what analysis restore the prevailing past, i runs on the climate and the diploma condition over please. that helps us understand the balance in di,

environmental already. so that help shows us and neuro the kind of an organic process to follow water and reduce the whole paste on st. freeze productivity. and that's how you go farms to market in the 21st cent hurry. rebecca and her team have made it easier than ever to become a farmer with a swipe of your finger is that of a sickle? on next report takes us to the mediterranean, the sea of the coast of sol done europe. another africa is liter, with plastic and other debris. that's about the poor as a well above all. it's bad for marine life in spain. volunteer divers helping with cleanup efforts. shorts now did see horses, soft, corals, neptune grass grow, purse and a wide variety of seaweed, inhabit the mediterranean or dice for recreational fishing. but many fishermen use

lead thinkers. they can end up on the see bed where they pose a threat to marine life fung. i'm afraid castle them base. let's take the case of a fish feeding on algae growing on a piece of lead when that fish approaches and begins eating the algae. it also ingest, so lead, i meant it, it becomes part of the marine food chain. the small fish me eaten by the bigger fish and so on. if you like me to let is pass from one to the other more control. finally we as seafood consumers, wind up with that lead on our plate ah unrest, robledo. some fishers are starting to use alternative sinkers made of ceramic or think but the un estimate some $640000.00 tons of fishing gear, including hazardous metals still ends up in our oceans each year. to combat the problem, volunteers from hippocampus and organisation focused on the conservation of shorts

. now did see horses have launched the plume? boom project, bruin ish or ny there. boom boom is a project born after so many dives. eunice, where we saw so much rubbish made from metal whip as if he got from lead me that used in sport fishing and professional fishing. they bought the way big ha nets loaded with lead sinkers, for example. it had got a galaxy mother debrel to remove the metals from the see. the project relies on a vast network of volunteer divers like fail x r a s head out. today he's joining a cleaning expedition, a couple of the puzzles, a seaside village in one of the most bio diverse areas in the mediterranean basin, pharmaceutical sales, and global. we're going to collect lead from the sea floor. it mainly marine waves and hooks from fishing. here you've only one little small pieces that settle on the

bottom and get half buried. let's see if we get lucky. with the help of metal detectors, divers can collect between $4.45 kilos of lead at each cleaning. the results are registered on a website that monitors their efforts since 2017, more than 14000 metal sinkers equivalent to one ton of lead had been removed from the mediterranean. but plume doesn't just remove the metal. it also contributes to the circular economy by giving it a 2nd life. thanks to public funds and private contributions. 200 containers have been distributed at diving sinners and yard clubs along the coast. here all divers can deposit pieces. they've salvaged. yeah, uh huh. yeah, give a label to don't have bravo. we put the lead here government that them the association, collects it and takes it to the companies. we have an agreement with the said that

they can recycle the metal, so it can be used again in batteries. for example, on rollover. i know what that is, is it? once the containers are full, the project coordinators bring them back to the heavy metals recovery center. to date, they've delivered more than 900 kilos for recycling. apart from lead other garbage such as plastic cans and glass is harming the marine ecosystem. normally only divers see the damage 1st hand. so colombo members also organized photo exhibitions to raise awareness and reveal the underwater reality. aiken old, they're not shabby sheet. people who don't dive can imagine what is under water, honey, but they don't really know. think so. if we show them photos and explain to them the consequences of, of having garbage in the sea,

they become more aware. he dumped it. a shake on cynthia must. in addition to encouraging the use of sustainable thinkers, boom, boom is working with governments to implement eco friendly marine policies. and it's appealing to all people to stop throwing trash into the sea blue. while what's a great project? without them the mediterranean would be in a much worse shape. and think of the birds that pick lita out of the sea. all that wastes poses such a danger to them. yes. a bunch. especially the c bonds and need a better protection. keep body is home to one of the main breeding fights of the railed build tropical. but in west africa bought the hud patent is under threats. ah, the marvelous red of build tropic bird. these migratory birds spend most of their

lives at sea flying thousands of kilometers across the atlantic, and only coming to land to breathe high up in the rocks of a find holes to make their nests. but not much else is known about their habits. researchers from cape florida, have only recently found one of the largest colonies in the world. here on the island of south are to a low patch as a field technician with project biodiversity, a local organization at frank, to learn more about the species, to help save the birds from threats and linked to growing tourism. they monitor more than $500.00 nests on the island. they are very good. they have like a big deal and they have, like i said, i got a woman on the, on the walls like you believe. and they've been, there is super nice. today they're out tagging and taking samples from the

birds. they found an unwilling participant here in the side of the cliff. the bird goes into a bag to help calm it down. first, they'll take blood determinant sex. like i would think it's from the 5th. you can see like i live in is coming from there. the weird weekly news for isn't a very big of a way that the samples they collect, help them understand more about the birds habits, diet and migration patterns, as well as can eminence. they've consumed that also shows how the health of their environments is changing. feathers also provide some clues, like the change in the future, like a when, when is the that time of the year later they turn to the feller, and particularly the feeling well. so, toxins build up in the feathers, evidence of how many patients the birds are ingesting and therefore indicative of

the health of fish populations and oceans. of course, there's also another way to find out what they've been eating their wound warmer. after returning the bird home safely, it's time to check on other nests. this baby is just 2 weeks old. the only check his parents will have this season. that makes the population especially vulnerable and red billed tropic birds are up against an increasingly dangerous world. not far from their nests. taurus soak up the sun and sand construction along the coast, erodes natural habitats and light pollution. disorient the sea birds during the night introduce species like stray dogs prey on the birds. not to mention plastic pollution, which gets into their diet through micro plastics in the fish they eat. but it's a balancing act tourism a means more economic opportunities for locals on the island. a project

biodiversity co director says human activity is pushing seaboard collies further and further away from their breeding sites. our tour is back at the office, preparing samples to send to the university of barcelona for processing, where researchers are discovering new insights by crunching the data he's collected . the team hopes his findings will lay the groundwork for saving the red, wild, tropic bird. and if i understanding their fragile ecosystem will better understand the health of our own worlds. wall, how beautiful hope you enjoyed the shoe. i will chew then next week for another episode of aiko africa. had to say good bye from o. glen states elijah area. and it is a good buy for me to hear income falla, uganda. don't forget to write or service your comments at all on social media platforms. remember when or is open to your suggestions ticket and see you next week with

a new exciting episode of eco africa. ah . oh. oh oh ah ah,

with who lets when? towel. oh bell. mary, you said, turns old to luxury her radical sustainability concepts create unique pieces using old clothes to become an international trend. your romance?
