these additional eco africa, your weekly environment magazine. my name is sandra t. nobody. hi sandra. nice to see you and hello to all a few viewers out there. i am chris ill mps. at sandra said, our planet is getting hotter and that means we're going to have to make changes to the way we do all sorts of things here. so could look at what's in store on the program out insects could help mitigate money tricia in mother, ga scott. and why many fishing nets in tunisia are coming up empty? will begin in cameroon, where we meet a young man who was very concerned about the impact climate change is having on his home town at the welt. so much so that he was motivated to action. i what started us a bit of fun as now become much more van, just
9:32 pm
a hobby. i before get into work. these kids how to wash their project supplies, which is a bit out of the ordinary. they're taking part in a workshop run by 17 year old. our sin, don't everything hayes me from trash. the children will learn how to design and build their own models. city out of waste. actual i'm on across is all on my kitchen. we're building a model of the city of to morrow, with trees and renewable energy to combat global warming for monkey much it all started with an early passion for building. our sin was unhappy at a traditional school, so his parents sent him to a technical school instead. long senari local mom. he started to develop ideas there to do drawings that he built little things out of stuff like cardboard.
9:33 pm
gradually he got to the level he's out today and he had a talent. and as a mother, i wanted to encourage him to develop his he's now gaining a falling online. he gives most of his muddles away, but some he sells. this stadium was quickly snapped up, is laportia to pull more so i didn't just buy it for myself. i also bought it so that i could advertise for him. but if someone wants something built and they see this model and ask who built it, i'll tell them it's the design of a talented, young architect, dribble sit, and actually tick opa don't signs enough material where he lives in yolande, the capital of come room. he goes to businesses and homes to collect trash, especially cardboard and plastic. his helps to raise awareness about recycling. a van wanted clear panel we didn't recycle before. kathy, what's awesome dunc,
9:34 pm
most initiates, you taught us how to systematically separate out trash. there's a local sanitation company, but he can only process limited amounts. only about 40 percent of the trash gets collected. the trucks only drive on big paved streets, but most residents live along small roofs. ah oh, but i love when you walk to the city, you see garbage all over the place. she, people just throw it anywhere, empty bottle. every community when he got to develop a waste disposal strategy plugged in his own industry. in the same book area where our sin lives, at least some of the trash gets picked up by him and he needs it for his weekly workshops. he doesn't, i can said upon the aisle, is it a market? it's my goal to teach as many kids as possible, how to build these models out of trash and how to separate trash route. i'm and the
9:35 pm
parents learn as well. around 30 families are taking part. an interest is growing. they just pay small fee for the tools. i've seen arsons models and they really interest me. that's why i find my son up so he can make them to did his circle. mm . i see. he started giving workshops early this year. the children pay attention to him, one of his morals haven't only inspired a love of building the workshops also make them more aware of the environment. even though the only building models are cheese on solar panels. they are learning more about environmental protection. and acendo move hoops to inspire even more people. i dream of sharing my passion with the whole world and seeing one of my models being built in full scale, even if his dream isn't a reality yet. our sen,
9:36 pm
dogma is tenacious, and continues to forge his own half. his already created his green district, if only in model form from model homes to the real fame mega cities like lagos, nairobi, angio, burge, a grown in under the weight of population growth houses. the springing up on almost every available space but smacked a rapid construction and not so good for the environment. how can the building industry become more sustainable? will went to kenya to explore some potential solutions. kenya's construction industry is booming. in these 3 people want to help make the sector greener. what kena moutain bay promotes a special type of sustainable temper. jane my yaki launched the green make over of a bank in nairobi and head oh, tiana advises companies on how to build in a way that's better for the environment or to, you know, has an appointment at
9:37 pm
a new apartment building and had straight for the roof with the project manager, or the inner works for an n g o that helps to certify new buildings according to environmental standards. learning the company, the commission, the project has opted for solar panels and respected other criteria for green building to then target as compared to build this business. as usual, if your building is doing 20 percent of better on energy, operational energy, 20 percent better water, 10 percent better. unembodied energy that has gone into the building went to you and then your building is considered degree in building. as of 2021, there were 43 new certified green buildings in kenya. that might not sound like much, but it's twice as many as there were and 2020. so there's a trend here. but what about older buildings? can they also be made grain?
9:38 pm
this branch of the opposite bank and i robi central business district, is in a building constructed over 50 years ago. what is the jane? why yaki is the bank sustainability officer? she's had the ground floor revamped to make it as green as possible. all of the banks, more than 80 branches across the country have undergone the same treatment. there are now energy saving, eli delights in all the rooms, water dispensers, instead of plastic bottles and water saving devices for the toilets and things. the conversion wasn't cheap, but it's led to enormous savings. the equivalent of more than 160000 euros. into 10 to one unknown. we were able to save up to 20000000 shillings in terms of the annual electricity bills that we paid and 2022 as well. is in 2020 as a baseline as well. ah, by half. yeah, we've been able to get a savings of 10000000 and there aren't just financial benefits. the bank told us that the green conversion will cut its carbon emissions 420-225-6000 times what's
9:39 pm
on how green refurbishing of older buildings is vital and opened up there. but kenya is also facing a housing shortage. so more new buildings are necessary. an estimated 2000000 homes are needed right now. and since concrete and steel production amid a lot of greenhouse gases, new materials are needed. materials like cross laminated timber castile ammunition steam bomb gives an opportunity for the combination buildings in, in kang, the wildest ledge. really, this is because construction and building activities contribute to approximately that 100 percent of the company emissions in the wild cross laminated timber, or c l t is a product made by gluing layers of wood together. panels can be created in a variety of length, width and thicknesses. many architects view c l t as the concrete of the future. it's relatively lightweight and yet very strong and means buildings can be put up
9:40 pm
fast. it's amazingly fireproof, too. when exposed to flames for a long time, only the outside chars build x studio a social enterprise specialized in design and construction has put up a prototype building near nairobi with a cor structure made of c l t. unlike concrete c, a t is considered a green building material that even stores carbon dioxide but it's only truly green if the trees that are used are replaced. when you cut down that tree, you cleared space for another 2 to be planted as can be used in another building. and they suck was sitting of the company. stories of the cobblins and a thinking of the cobblins continues. these mixed buildings cobblins toys in chris's demo of cobbler mythical. aside from the environment in chris's demo of cobbling western within our business, kenya's construction sector grew by 6.6 percent in 2021. so there's lots of
9:41 pm
potential for many more green buildings in kenya. those are certainly interesting projects. it will be great if more people followed the lead, reduce carbon emissions, and use an energy more efficiently, a crucial to protect in life on the planet. both our land and in the sea. speaking of the sea, our next report takes us to the north african coast. you are very right greece. we now head to, to museum where fishermen are in trouble in what is left for them is getting more and more difficult. according to an ease study, the mediterranean sea house in fish stalks drop by a fought over the last 50 years. the vast majority of the native species anal threatened by overfeed chic visitors entering the town of ours. these will notice a work of art that looks more like wishful thinking than the reality on the ground
9:42 pm
. precious you fishers in tunisia bring in a decent catch these days. many simply abandoned their boats and young people are leaving. when this villain was looking at returning situation and i have to say that there was no future in fishing, i can only tell young people to consider a different line of work. biologists from the national institute of marine sciences and technology in fox are looking for reasons behind the dwindling fish docs. the prime suspect toxic algae on her. i dramatic a says if, if we discovered that a toxic species of algae is responsible for this phenomenon of the wind is enough. in 2019, there was a very high concentration of the algae species called korea bravest full. on the need of all astir, said compet assume in 2020 it stocks this like ala good. any error, a need to be blood enough, if or so. but this year that increased again in eva,
9:43 pm
eva if once in a vast yonder local, especially in the area around the port of galvez when you rule or the father. the bas wants to make ends meet with fishers, frequently resort to illegal methods, such as catching fish that are actually too young and small to sell like this swordfish. at the fish market in fox, you also find cartilage in his fish like raise and sharks which are in fact endangered and protected species. best here. so edy and neat ultra elsie are trying to reverse the trend. they want fishers to stop catching sharks and other endangered species there part of the project med bycatch, which was launched 2 years ago and began with extensive data collection. oh, nice though good. we've collected a lot of data up key which will use to make proposals on how to reduce unwanted by
9:44 pm
catch of endangered species. and we're luck up for all of tunisia, civilian up a lot. all the thought. the last thing is he need us rebels. he has developed a good relationship with the fishing community in the port as are these. he tells them about the research results and provides insights into the concept of close season. this is when the different species lay their eggs and can't be fished. the evaluation of the samples makes it clear that fishing in the mediterranean must become more sustainable. one solution would be using different fishing methods. trawling can be replaced by long lining, which involves long plastic wines with sardine bated hooks attached at around 6 meter intervals. met by catch plans to recommend this type of fishing line fed up with the long line in and hook line fishing canada. the fish have the choice for
9:45 pm
larry barella and then the fish that go for the bait wouldn't get caught. they began it in the others don't. it's completely different to trawling animal which basically catches everything in the c gonzalez', you propose that deborah mcgraw, preserving the ecosystem in the mediterranean, will also require more fishermen like las had been sharika to switch to alternative methods. and not only as ours east, but across tunisia and along the coasts of other countries bordering the mediterranean sea. from to louisiana, with course the mediterranean to grace athens is one of the what a citizen europe and extreme temperatures of putting public health at risk. this is one reason why europe's foster chief heat officer is this they're not long ago. we reported on the very fast heat of he said he in africa to day, we introduce you ta colleague in europe. in high summer, the sun beats down on athens, temperatures of 40 degrees celsius or more,
9:46 pm
are becoming commonplace. and that's hard on tourists and locals alike. aline, mit easily always keeps her water bottle handy. she knows all about summer in the city, in the risks it poses, because she's athens chief heat officer, the greek capitals 1st, and the 1st and all of europe. it's her job to prepare the city for climate change . here she's descending into the cities historical underground. well, together with an employee of the athens waterworks, it's home to hadrian aqueduct, an underground tunnel, almost 20 kilometers long, built by roman emperor hadrian in the 2nd century ab aline, moody valley, once water to flow here again, soon, engineers have already drawn up plans that they are planning to create 20
9:47 pm
specific points where the, where they tap into the water into the green new parks. the idea is to create a green belt running straight through the city. the creation of parts should produce a cooling effect. the chief heat officer is particularly proud of this small part, which was inspired by japanese gardens that we have to choose plants that both have a lot of leaves and thick canopies that would at loser their leaves in the winter. but also can, can do not need the enormous amounts of water and can survive in difficult conditions for several years. now, extreme heat waves and grease have almost always been accompanied by force fires, which are increasingly becoming a threat to the capitol. aline moody volley knows that time is running out in
9:48 pm
a few decades large parts of this city of close to $4000000.00 people could become uninhabitable. already athens is often the hottest city in europe during the summer and we don't have a lot of barks and, and green spaces. and we have a lot of old people. the fact that the surfaces are we have a lot of surfaces that then to heat up, we have a lot of cars that produce even more heat and air conditioning produces even more heat. so it's actually a pretty deadly makes enough in the heat is an issue for a gas emmanuel and not just because he likes to run long distances. he's an actor and one of the most famous climate activists in greece to promote climate protection. the athenian ran 2500 kilometers from here to the world climate conference in glasgow. scotland last year. he thinks having a heat officer like a leaning buddy valley isn't a bad idea, but that for athens,
9:49 pm
it's likely too little too late. now my babble ran of your 3 floor yard and them it'd be nice to have a new park in my neighbourhood with a fountain i can cool off in, on hot days on the restore. but to be honest, it seems like giving a cancer patient and aspirin, alamahood may be crushed b, i get the impression that we've already surrendered. not measuring, unless you come up of iffy or the blue nicky. my with accepted the climate crisis from up at now to but we're trying to somehow live with it to the bottom. the blue a blacksmith driven level shackleton was off door. after all, this ancient city has survived many a crisis in its almost 4000 year long history. waste management is another big challenge from many countries and a let is jewel here in africa too. but as we'll see, release weeks doing to be serious editorship. complete a big role in terms of effectiveness change after all, even something as simple as an old plastic voting can hold any loses bah. hello. it's time to go in
9:50 pm
these school kids until goes capital of low may have been looking forward to their outing to mazique park echo logic, a very unique education center. all of the buildings here along with the pavement, were constructed using waste materials dead olivia bhaskar. i love this place because things that i thought were useless ones are actually useful. so i think recycling is important and everyone should do more of it. but from now on, when i see trash our collected and bring it here. as you're there, i'm in the lights in tell go more than $2000000.00 tons of plastic waste and up in the environment each year according to official figures. even though the country does have waste management centers, the recycling rate remains low. that's why raising awareness of the problem is
9:51 pm
critical. risk. as a credit is referred for goes up more thoughtfully. this is important to you because children learn that instead of throwing everything in the trash, i can turn some things into other useful object spoke with respect to things that have a purpose, what's going on with others. but the center does more than make use of plastic bottles and rubber tires the machines. park echo logic also has a bio digester. here. young people can see how organic waste is turned into combustible bio gas. ah, and how about you? if you are also doing your bit, tell us about visit our website or center. so twitter hash tag doing your bit. we share your stories
9:52 pm
here or equal africa. we frequently address the issue of food security. more and more people around the world are in desperate need of adequate nutrition. but practice is likely livestock forming is of a lot of resources like water and ariba land. so how can we reduce on meet consumption and still get enough protein? well, sandra, insects are an option that's been creating a lot of bores in recent years. let's take a look at what people are cooking up at a farm in madagascar. just consider it's a little taste of things to come. some people find bugs on the plate on appetizing, but these crickets are being bred by the thousands, in by law law farm laboratory at the madagascar biodiversity center rich in protein, the incense i meant to play a key role in feeding. the country may not be taken from that day yet. now we are
9:53 pm
expanding and improving our products and we're finding ways swap where the necessary materials are not so that we can further increase our production. again, this will be our contribution enemies to fighting money. tricia in mother garza here, tina needs funds. i covered my gasket more and more forest is being cleared to grow food. madagascar has lost the significant amount of its forest cover. in recent decades, some tropical wood is exported. but over half is used for cooking. many farmers also burns sections of the forest to create new fields. then there's climate change, which is also causing problems for farmers. rain forest soil is known to be poor, but extreme weather and erosion are further degrading the land. this, coupled with increase in drought, is leading to more and more crop failures. this is where the newly founded insect
9:54 pm
processing facility comes in. here, different edible powders are produced from dried crickets and worms with the aim of bringing insect uprooting on to the food market. miss fact that her where know that people have their preferences. for example, the northeast, some insects are more popular gonna meet pittman. think our role is to ensure that insects are always available. and insufficient quantities will farms as if under the men's, and they were the manufacturers believe they can produce enough powder for about half a 1000000 meals a year. keeping and processing the insects is simple and environmentally friendly. and the escrow means is also used to produce natural fertilizer for agriculture to isa. we're trying to vary the insect fits license for use with coffee plants, clothes on. cinnamon, no, nope. system will also luncheon into agro forestry and on that where because of his
9:55 pm
trees, because we use organic foot eliza, because we knew very well the money that we cannot use chemical fits. eliza presented protected primary for is one of the last put on that dried and roosted insects already popular dishes in some african countries. this pop up restaurant in cape town, south africa, for example, only serves insect dishes, considered booth nutritious and delicious. freshly fried crickets or worms, sell like hot cakes here. nits, this is an delicious. what more do you want? that's all for today. we hope you enjoyed the program and to be sure to join us again next week until then. is good by for me in ohio state nigeria, ticket. it is also good bye for me here in counselor. but don't forget to check in with us and all our social media platforms, or even a web site there, you can find all those shows and reports as well as other interesting content that

mm hm. when you work as an architect that go all in or not at all, women in architecture. why are they so invisible to the larger public? we decided to ask them. and if women grow up with insufficient little models, they can't identify with certain professions about their guiding principles versus i, what is the poetry, the secret of a house? i'm how awe about their motivation. i'm a texture does so much to you in the real goal of architecture is to create habitat for human about their struggles and dreams. responsibility are huge. they have so much to lose and shattering the glass
