have emma's rock and to far do korean drift along with exploring modern lifestyles and mediterranean, where has history left its traces, waiting on hearing their dreams. ready to me during this week on d. w. ah, how can you keep things cool without a refrigerator? well, there is a very simple way, and it's not a new technological idea. welcome to the latest edition of equal africa. i am sandra to nobody coming to you from compiler, here in uganda. hello sandra again,

a co africa highlights good examples from one country that can work in other african countries. and we offer some environmental hope. i'm chris alone from a balcony. nigeria, here is some of the things we have lined up for you. a book in a far so our group of farmers who know exchange deleted information via old fashioned radios. how old wind turbine, sorry sy, good in poland and ward can be made out to them. and a simple way to keep goods cool for as long as possible without electricity in malawi, but we 1st had to egypt who will host the next cup climate conference in 2022. the country on the nile with its deserts, long coastline and megacity, cairo is extremely vulnerable to the effect of climate change. now leaders want to

increase public investment in climate friendly measures by 50 percent, by 2025. this does not only apply to major initiatives, was more skill grasfer to once to our tiny non profits outside the capital is among those seeking to bring change to ordinary community life. so how bieber is helping out. and so is archman. children from the egyptian village of east bed is hark. are excited about their small new playground that's being built with recycled materials. it's to be really colorful neighbors and other villagers are making sure that the project was initiated by an egyptian n g o called bina. the organization promote sustainable project and particularly focuses on children and young people and a fulton,

colorado children in rural areas, often lack playground model. along with each project, we're creating open spaces for them. and we make these spaces with recycled materials, such as old food and car tires and culture. this playground is linked to a new school building where children with learning difficulties or those who have stopped going to school can receive extra help to get them back into school. the village of his b as hock is about a 2 hour journey southwest from cairo. the area has one of the highest rates of, of literacy in the country. the nearest school is a 2 kilometer walk away on a road with lots of traffic. i've worked with build the classroom for young children. it's much closer so they wouldn't have to walk on the busy road. i thought i'd go yeah. now the village has the only school of its kind in all them. egypt that's made with recycled materials. it was built from compacted earth and

9000 plastic bottles filled with sand holes. plastic waste is a huge problem in egypt. the country produces $5400000.00 metric tons of plastic each year and is the biggest plastic polluter in the arab world. the construction industry is responsible for around one quarter of egypt, carbon emissions, because it relies heavily on concrete world wide concrete production generates nearly $3000000000.00 tons of c o 2 per year. of course, one school building made of earth and plastic bottles filled with sand. won't solve that problem, but it can show what's possible. flatow a little bit here. there's a trend toward reducing plastic usage and finding solutions or non polluting ways to recycle it. so we thought, why shouldn't we start with a new idea and a prototype to reuse plastic in something that benefits school children and the

environment? how provided. meanwhile, the playground is slowly taking shape. there are very few jobs here, so the villagers are happy to have work. shabba ona shore normally gets by, by doing casual labor. here he gets paid 15 euros a day. his son adam is also helping unknown to them. and i wanted to work here for the sake of the children of gather new ideas to which i can apply elsewhere. oh, the building work has taken 6 months. many of the villagers were involved and filmed the progress, the school and playground cost around $10000.00 euros to build. the project was funded by unesco as a model of how good ideas can help reduce waste. the villagers participation in the project was not about saving money. it's an important part of the concept

little girl. we want them to appreciate the building, so they'll look after it. and if they share in the work, they'll feel like it belongs to them. about the finishing touches are being applied to the flooring. even one of the architects is helping the building is scheduled to open in september 2022 and has space for 35 children to resume their schooling. in a pleasant atmosphere. the palm trees in the classroom were allowed to remain and have been incorporated into the design. the roof is made of bamboo, a fast growing, sustainable material. in the evening, the playground is finally ready. the work is over now it's time to relax and enjoy the results. ah, what's a great initiative on next piece? highlights something odds this is already knew about and used to successfully defy

the whole temperatures in our region. in this regard, the listening closely to nature and the way ahead of us are doing your bit this week shows me these vegetables early. even good enough to suit in sub saharan africa. more than 40 percent of fruit and vegetables go to waste every year. they often spoil on the way from harvest to market because of a lack of refrigeration. malawi knows the problem. well, almost 90 percent of the population has no access to electricity. but since last year, many farmers in was a village in the south of the country, have been able to use small cooling boxes. they weigh just for kilos and have a 60 liter volume developed in the us. the unit is meant to help solve the cooling problem without the need for electricity. the guys haven't got

much and this cool of ox uses water to make on the outside their bags, which we fill with 6 liters of water. i think when a minute, when the water is filled, then i take the vegetables and put them inside and i close the lid and all the vegetables inside are kept as fresh as if i just picked them from the garden. that's what i told them. due to the special materials in the box, the heat is extracted from the inside, leaving it more than 10 degrees celsius cooler than the outside temperature. fruit and vegetables stay fresh, longer and can still be sold for up to 5 days. demand is high for the boxes, even though each $1.00 costs around $150.00 us dollars. it will food program has paid for the 1st boxes. i hope that they can soon be produced much cheaper locally in malawi. aah. and how about you?

if you are also doing your bit, tell us about it, visit our website. oh, send us the tweaks. hash tag doing your we share your dual res, hers. and now we go from low to high tech, very high tech indeed in europe. over to you, sandra. think increase. now when you might think of green energy as sustainable. it also leads to west tech giant will tumbling for example. europe will have to return nearly 12000 turbines with 2024. they have formed a noble way to reuse them. these wind turbines are more than 20 years old compared to modern ones. they're small and inefficient, so they're being torn down. so what happens to these green energy giants at the

end of their lifespan? the blades, especially, are made of composites and plastics. instead of recycling them a lot ends up in landfills, more incinerated in the kilns of cement and steel factories for some years. now, facilities that insinuate them aren't really happy about it and that's down to the physics of the combustion process. last fall, the glass fibers bonded with residence which come up the kiln and the ash and i so quite apart from the environment, luna sank one. it's just not an ideal solution. 0 least you lose own. and recycling is only just getting off the ground. it's only recently that wind turbine manufacturers have had the wind to waste problem on their radar. that often leads to situations like this on this green field decommission turbine blades

are dismantled for the scrapyard. one company near the polish city of rod suave has come up with a solution unmet takes all turbine blades from germany and turns them into furniture. the plains of the 12 meters long are 1st saw into sections sanded and painted. they get a new life is outdoor furniture, chairs, benches, and tables. accented with top quality march would all students from the university of shalana gotta come up with the designs. they're thrilled that their products are being bombed by customers around the world. of course you can use it inside, but i think outside is am is by the right to to is

this material because it's water proof is damaged grove, a foot bridge, another of unmet novel recycling ideas. the rotor blades were transformed into the support for a pedestrian bridge. it's the brainchild of engineer on j. r. done show. for him. old blades are not hazardous waste but a resource spout. shamiqua news being ions gives us our example. we don't try to change the shape of the rotor of yours, we turn it into a sculpture or that doesn't blade. and so if miguel is going to be monumental, you really big so that it was really wild your bush bunge. it'll be on a narrow jug rosanna on place novel of runs an online shop wings for living. that's the exclusive retailer. there's even an app to let you see what the furniture would look like in your garden, shed novel and his counterparts and poland are good friends. a garden bench like this can easily cost 1500 euros. we're aiming to

be a small and stylish brand. to that. that helps raise awareness of the problem people and also shows that old discarded objects can be turned into beautiful and unique furnishings immovable. his friends and poland are constantly coming up with innovative designs, like a rotor wing transformed into a wine cellar. when it comes to up cycling the skies the limit. and there is no shortage of turbine blades that need repurposing. well. the new generation of wind turbines are bigger and more powerful. modern turbines are temples of high tech filled to the brim with electronic components. and they promised to help solve the wind to waste problem. in 30 or 40 years, when these turbines go offline, they'll be more easily recycled into valuable raw materials. alanon ha,

here still about the all big manufacturers are working on producing their components and so that they'll be easier to recycle. meaning in a way that's environmentally sustainable energy saving and cost saving meat in advance if we cost at 2100 percent recyclable turbine blades are the wave of the future. germany, for example, plants to install $1500.00 new wind turbines a year in a few decades, their aging blades will be mined for valuable raw materials. even if the food situation in germany is a relatively stable, it doesn't mean that everything is fine. the area set aside for conservation is limited farms compete with all the infrastructure projects, such as roads or wind turbines. now like everywhere in the world, the climate crisis is making. the situation was additionally, because humans were quoting for i generally think of agriculture. this is why 2 of

them wanted to take a closer look at the farm over william an early morning wash and a kind farm in the salon region of western germany today vill him a kite, doesn't have to look after his animals alone. alexandra mo, stumpage and even as cooney are here to help for a weekend, they've only just arrived but are already hard at work. they want to learn more about the practical challenges faced by farmers are within a limited washer. i work in the food industry and would like to continue down this path in the future weekend or, and i wanted to get to know the whole food industry from its ruth's weekly industry and yeah, what's the canon lannon has been been so st. andrews gas. i'm self employed in the catering industry and i what with products from the food industry or cervical cancer and was i had this, i wanted to know where that made, where they come from and how much while catch to guys. and then how about the noise

at the farm has been in the family for 150 years. it covers 70, hector is of land and has pigs, cows, and chickens. while not an organic farm vill him a guy is big on sustainable methods and animal welfare. unlike on many farms, the pigs can move freely and they're stall and an outdoor area. but of course, the animals will still be slaughtered as it has been that the i'm not the kind of person who says that i can't eat them. now the, i see them i'm getting is actually just the opposite. once you see they have a good life to no, there's always lots to do. reading livestock is an important part of the farms income. in addition to around $300.00 pigs. there are also 40 cows. but the farmer has no plans to increase his livestock. with van fu feler schriner on sco frugal garden in germany we keep ju many pigs and poultry

does. he had c r m. did we produce more meat than we can consume? and that's not good for any one. i'm award for him with food for the one we have to import feed the m is not like we have to export the meat and she really got mark. it's a difficult market to they love yet so that farmers often don't earn enough income . they are not really stunned plus, we then have the problem of manure which is simply no longer a valuable nutrient when they so much of it. and instead it becomes problematic for the ground water. the lesson for us going for that are still. so he decided to take a different path in 1989 vill hm. metlife farm was the 1st in germany to a dump stricter animal welfare rules. these include free, roaming for livestock all year round the use of straw and plenty of space in the stalls. unlike industrial agriculture, them with an unclear of stuff fin to the store,

we have to move towards more regional farming and regional marketing, where we produce for the needs of our population and under conditions that are approved to ecological and sustainable india coalition in our hold. if in the were continuous for the 2 women. next, they have to collect eggs from the chicken coop. the farm has more than 1200 hands upon me. i've never collected eggs like this. this is oh, it's warm. it's really fresh gas. is it farming that needs to change or something else? the name is mine is the act. i think the problem is over consumption, the constant unnecessary demand from consumers. all right, and if we could just reduce that, then there'd be no problem there. then people would just be satisfied with what's available empathy versus eat. so both consumers and farmers need to change, but how much change is realistic?

the 2 women raised the issue during the coffee break as am scans to look not to completely turn that the clock that we thought people joining forces to work together again, or that was a sharing system exactly like cannon this olive moore, bing. oh, you can think of all sorts of things, including new farms or small farms that are managed sensibly by several generations or a farm with a baker, a butcher or handicraft business. in these, unlike in our market economy, the decisive factor is always whether something's profitable, whether the prospects for making money are so good that there are courageous people who do it, will help a guy has that courage and has invested in new mobile outbuildings for his chickens returning on for them that i for now we're actually getting 3 of these in total. they cost a lot of money. so of course it's not something you do when you're 60,

but our son said he's more interested in poultry from the air van. so the future of the farm is looking secure and the sustainability concept of the past 30 years is said to continue the working dang, his finished for the women. what's their main take away? i'm from alice farm. i need to be smaller. instead of being huge outfits garvin, i see that is a better way of producing food. that is a boston i. yes, create an awareness in each individual. and so they're willing to pay certain prices because they know where the feed comes from. and so they appreciate for it and a completely different way. one of our models cancel one of shots we simply produce and throw away too much food. and one of the 2 of them also found out how much hard work actually goes into making a single breakfast egg less

can indeed be more. we have seen these many times in the fight against climate change. sticking with farming, we had overtook enough fossil, a country in western africa, where more than 80 percent of the population lives from. and we've ugly culture. we have to deal with heat, drought and lack of rain just to secure any harvest at all. so through sandra to cope with these difficult conditions, what's needed is more knowledge and better management of their land. luckily, there is a project that uses unusual means to pass that knowledge onto farmers. at 1st glance, bama is a village like many old as in booking a far so but it's also part of an ambitious pilot project aimed at bringing helpful information to the countries or regions. here small hold, farmers can use their phones, access radio programs, the feature agricultural information in 4 local languages called transmission tear

the program as practical ideas and suggestions. the listeners we learn, you know, my uncle, you, thanks to this radio show. i learned how to get my allies pellets from yada. i'm from a about any funny i we found out about the bucket s m channel and learn how it works for us. we really appreciate that. and the best thing is that with just a few clicks, you can call up and listen to older program equity. don't show that is a great feature. it got sick of him. you want them any goal or lemme me, the technology behind it is simple. summers can call of programs free of charge, possible radio transmitters doesn't use of data volume or require sim card. all that's necessary is to be within a specific 6 kilometer range. the radio station, bama delay, one of the project partners can be listened to in the middle of rise fields. some

of the programs can be accessed later on demand by people unable to listen to live broadcast. or by those who don't have radios. time behind a microphone is given to farmers, but also to re cultural experts. the wrong thing is for leopard sanderson. we talked about preparing the soul for planting the berries and also about the distances that families should leave between the waterways and their feel. assuming that limp ugh, we also discuss the use of pesticides and their effects on the soil is a negative impact on plants. no visible. the project is not a one way street of an abuse as regularly meet with families representatives to find out which topics of interest to them. the summers were welcome programs about seed of fertilizers have been higher yields,

but also protect the soil. seek yon tandy valid as universal. those has heard about new and interesting innovations. tell us about them if me standing up also in contact with specialists from various feelers, while they very often suggest we talk to people who have special expertise on certain topics dunker. so the group here in bama has a major influence on our program and their products, you know, the publisher the device is gone from a project partner in germany on a finance by the german development agency. g. i said the program tag has regions with pool or no reader reception. it was, i went very fast below the bracelet. we piloted pockets a feminine buckley bama about deer bu, good. and in the cascades region, a set factor in it, a comprehensive cafe couldn't drive. it was so successful that we want to introduce puckett f. m. in the rest of booking a facile in the coming weeks and months past year. down there push instrumental approach. i'm one in the future video clips will also be available even without

internet connection. the team is currently shooting one about vegetable diseases and how to treat them. but regardless of our multimedia, it becomes pocket fm will continue to record those issues and need nearest and dearest to the farmers. just like it has always been what a wonderful project take a closer look at it again on our website or social media. maybe something that would work in your community. well, that seats for this edition of a co africa. i am chris alam saying good bye. from alberta nigeria, by chris, i'll be seeing you again next week on that. see you all view as please do stay in touch full. also, all our social media platforms. we're always looking forward to hearing from you. i and sandra tween over, deal signing of from compiler here in uganda. ah,
