mediterranean, ah, it's water's connect people of many cultures seen it, almost rar. enter far, abdul karim drift along with exploring modern lifestyles and mediterranean. where has history left its traces. meeting people, hearing their dreams ready to journey 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 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 saw recycled in portland, and what can be made out to them? and a simple way to keep goods cool for as long as possible without electricity in malawi, while 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 at 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 b. now the organization promote sustainable projects and particularly focuses on children and young people and a fulton, colorado children in rural areas, often lack playground. 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 cortez. 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 built the classroom for young children. it's much closer,

so they won't have to walk on the busy road. outside of abdullah. 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. hulu, 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 towards reducing plastic usage and finding solutions. we're 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. we'll talk about it. meanwhile, the playground is slowly taking shape. there are very few jobs here, so the villagers are happy to have work. chava anal 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 gulf. 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 a great initiative on next page highlights something as this was already knew about and used to successfully defied the hot temperatures in our regents. in this regard, they listened closely to nature onvia way ahead of us asa doing your bits this week shows these vegetables early been good enough for soup 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 ika, 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. as you guys haven't got maddened gama, this cool app axis is water. to make them on the outside, very small bags, which we fill with 6 liters of water. mother got one a minute morning when the waters failed, then i take the vegetables and put them inside and somebody 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 and i hope that they can soon be produced much cheaper locally in malawi. ah, and how about you? if you are also doing your bit, tell us about it, visit, tell web site. oh, send us the tweaks. hash tag doing your best. we share your still res, hers. and now we go from low to high tech, very high tech indeed in europe, over to you, sandra. think increase, know when you might think of green energy also sustainable. it also leads to west tech giant will complain. for example, europe will have to retain nearly 12000 turbines with 2024. normally, the old materials would end up in scrap yards, but in portland 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 and some in landfills more incinerated in the kilns of cement and steel factories for some years. now. facilities that incinerator 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 resins, which come up the kiln and the ash and i so quite apart from the environmental, luna sank on. it's just not an ideal solution. zeal is unique. dealers on 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. decommissioned 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 thought, intersections, sanded and painted. they get a new life is outdoor furniture, chairs, benches, and tables. accented with top quality, large wood students from the university of shalana gotta come up with the designs. they're thrilled that their products are being bought by

customers around the world. of course we can use it inside, but i think outside is am is by the right to to use 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 pedestrian bridge. it's the brain child of engineer on j. r. done chew . for him. old blades are not hazardous waste but a resource spout. she, me guar, news me ions gives a for example. we don't try to change the shape of the rotor of years. we turn it into a sculpture or that doesn't blades. miguel is going to be monumental. you really big, so that it really wild, you bush bunch, it'll be on a little jack. what i was an enclave 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. snobbish 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 branches that helps raise awareness of the problem and also shows that old discarded objects can be turned into beautiful and unique furnishings. the movie boy. 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 sky's 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, how soon he are still alike in 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, neat energy intensive, we cost 100 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 cultivation is limited. farms compete with other infrastructure projects such as roads or wind

turbines. now like everyone in the world, the climate crisis is making the situation was additionally, because humans were quoting for a general rethink of agriculture. this is why 2 of them wanted to take a closer look at the farm over william an early morning wash at chi farm in the zillow land region of western germany today vill him a guy doesn't have to look after his animals alone. alexandra moose 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 label with abortion. 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 roots, the industry and yeah, what's the canon lana?

and there's been been this and news cuz i'm self employed in the catering industry . and i what with products from the food industry, i was 30, was sort of console and was i had this, i want to know where they're made, where they come from and how much while catch to guys. and then how about the voice of 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 if been the least, i'm not the kind of person who says that i can't eat them now that i see them them good. it's actually just the old to sit. once you see they have a good life left to, well, there's always lots to do. raising 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 van to feler finer. on sco, frugal garden in germany, we keep too many pigs and poultry does. he had c r m. did we produce more made than we can consume? and that's not good for anyone. i'm award from the from for the one we have to import, feed the m with not flag. 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 only 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. velocity would have confidential. so he decided to take a different path in 1989 vill him a guy farm was the 1st in germany to adopt stricter animal welfare rules. these

include free roaming for livestock all year round the use of strong and plenty of space and the stars. unlike industrial agriculture, i wasn't unclear of that fin restore. 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 how they found. the work continues for the 2 women. next they have to collect eggs from the chicken coop. the farm has more than 1200 hands. i believe i've never collected eggs light . this is as low, it's warm. it's really fresh gas. is it farming that needs to change or something else? name is minus the act, i think the problem is over consumption, the constant unnecessary demand from consumers. all right, and if we could just reduce bad,

then there'd be no problem there. then people would just be satisfied with what's available if we'd love to speak. 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 an as guns to look not to completely turn that the clock that only, but people joining forces to work together again, or that was a reader, a sharing system. exactly. lunk, on the aloof merger being, 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 a 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 mo bile 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 road for van. so in 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 foreign. i need to be smaller. instead of being huge outfits garvin, i see that is a better way of producing food label. swipe that is both then yes, you can 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 on my mother's cantavon sheets. we simply produce and

throw away too much food and went 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 over to look in our fossil, a country in western africa where more than 80 percent of the population believes 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 fossil. but it's also part of an ambitious pilot project in bringing helpful information to the countries or regions. here small holder 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 are lang, my uncle you. thanks to dish radio. sure, ruckel. i learned how to get my allies pellets from yada. i'm from a about any finance we found out about the bucket s m channel. i learned how it works, florida, we really appreciate. and the best thing is that with just a few clicks, you can call up and look into older program equity. don't show that is a great feature. it got sick of him. you saw them in a goal or lemon me. the technology behind it is simple summer's going call of programs free of charge. possible radio transmitters doesn't use of data volume or

required sim card. all that's necessary is to be within a specific 6 kilometer range. the radio station bama lay, one of the project partners can be listened to in the middle of rise fields. some of the programs can be access later on demand by people unable to listen to live broadcast. or by those who don't have radios. time behind the microphone is given to farmers, but also to ugly cultural experts. the wrong thing is a lot about us on the phone. we talked about preparing the soul for planting the live berries and also about the distances that families should leave between the waterways and their feel vessel and the color limp bug there. we also discuss the use of pesticides and their effects on the soil and the negative impact plants. now visited. the project is not

a one way street of an ide abuse as regularly meet with families representatives to find out which topics of interest to them. the summers will welcome programs about seed and fertilize as been higher yields, but also protect the soil. seek yon, dandy valley does 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 bunker. so the group here in bama has a major influence on our program handler. their products, you know, the publisher the device is come 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 her bracelet. we piloted pockets her feminine buckley bomber about dear bull. good and in the cascades region is said,

fact you got in the concrete unsecure for couldn't. it was so successful that we want to introduce pocket have them in the rest of booking a facile in the coming weeks and months. passenger down there push instrumental approach. i'm one in the future. video clips will also be available even without an 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 may be something that would work in your community. well, that's easy for this vision of a co africa. i'm chris alam saying good bye. from are built up nigeria by chris. i'll be singing again next week on that. see you all viewers. please do. stay in
