home in kenya, and not with weapons tree saplings going up to the quick up call, but our call to action, which i think that the little hoping me with some with on deal with we've got some hot tips for your bucket list. romantic corner tread hotspot for food chair and some great cultural memorials to boot t w. travel off we go. ah, water is a source of life, but people across africa are having to cope with more droughts than usual. is the

same in many other parts of the world, and people in nature are struggling to adapt. luckily, there are sometimes simple fixes as we'll find out in this edition of echo africa, britons from oregon state nigeria, i am chris lamps. and i am sorry tween only all righty in come polite uganda. welcome. yes, chris, we about to see that common sense is often the best response to all the climate problems that we assume. now we've got exciting environment stories from africa and europe in store for just you today. ah, how an a so and company is working to clean up a 1000000 recycling. why a young climate up to this thinking? it has gone into politics. and what makes the buy of filling up pictures so

attractive and sustainable? fast. let's look at a fascinating issue. solution to a very modern problem. merkel has lost almost 3 quarters of its palm groves in the last 10 years. that is bunny's for the crucial ecosystem of desert was, is that allow people to leave and also from there. but the re discovery of ancestor, water management is bringing back hope the drought and climate change can be beaten there. ah ah, every saturday people flock to go me must market to buy fruit vegetables such as okra, olives, and a wide variety of date. they're the main crop grown in the oasis around cal nima, a bobo town in south eastern morocco. the livelihoods of people in this arid

region on the edge of the sahara desert rely on oases. these are under threat. dow would find easy and agricultural engineer who specializes in these green ecosystems laments their environmental degradation that liz was this saw this, it was the oases are fragile ecosystems is because they're located in the heron desert. oh, see, and there's no precipitation here. agricultural production is directly affected on did we so after 2 or 3 years of drought? a, we already feel the problems as has all sulky are and problems in oases like this. people live from agriculture in raising livestock, but morocco is suffering from desert if occasion fires and the worst drought in decades. rising temperatures and erratic rainfall have lowered river levels, increased evaporation, and caused storage dams. to show up, this is led to a 20 percent reduction in overall water resources in the last 30 years. it can take off the per, one of the main consequences of the drought in the oasis is

a drive and the yield of gain palms are on demand for me that she an api. this year we had to cut back production up to 15 percent pussy, which means less income for the farmers. not they hiscock is full for the lap ridiculous idea that might prompt them to look elsewhere for a way to feed themselves money poorly like increasing the rural exodus exit. alicia, your put a sunni to overcome water of scarcity farmers or restoring ancient irrigation systems known in morocco as sketch at us there. underground canals make it possible to collect ground water and the list, the force of gravity to deliver it to farm fields. in some i thought you through were ada located in our far in the province of iraqi dea, a po vance. that was she the young. this is a her tata. that is more than 600 years old and is still operational. he thought, oh, it was you or better the had tara is important because it's

a system that brings water from the mountains to the oasis and thanks to the reins that come 2 or 3 times a year, i managed to infiltrate the soil gas or 3 key are you heard of walk? well that ha, retains the water for a long period of time all a lot better. god o t and sit, oh, well not a lot. there is no evaporation, but they've up what i see in the water that is collected at the level of the high tara fi as channel directly to the field, or you did it through want fuel. if it was the config, harass range from 2 to 15 kilometers in length. their tunnels are gently sloped and descent as far as 10 meters below ground access shaft followed the federals route from the water source to the reception basin. located every 12 to 15 meters. the shafts allow for the clearing of blockages caused by sediment. thereafter,

feler that region boast some 565th rat. but just 130 are in working order. those that do function irrigate some 15000 hector's of land, but that's not enough to sustain agricultural production. so with support from the adaptation fund and the moroccan government, farmers are working to restore those located in the arissa and my dear river basins . under your mall shack, up that i gotta is cleaned every year by the farmers themselves. as we can see, he added paul, if your gas alerted is pretty good, thanks to their spirit and ingenuity. do they have long been able to maintain and safeguard the system? is over, gotta be so that it ensures the life of the oases is, was, is the head that owns are ruled by ancestry tradition, and customary water rights are inherited. the labor force provided by each user during construction, determines how much water each can later consume every tunnel also has

a guardian chart with the showing it functions well, like muhammad 8th model a farmer, grateful to his forbearers for building this irrigation system. that a, the deal that i will ha ha, that i is very important to me. thanks to it. we have water to drink, irrigate the crops, give to our lives, started and youth for our domestic knee, his leg, laundrin, and washing dames. yet this irrigation system is vital without it, we can't live here or not. there's simply no light on mcneish legal, clarified with the fed. her hours helped to keep away sheets like this alive. while more effort is needed to restore these old irrigation systems and increase ground water levels, this ancient technology provides moroccans with a novel way to adapt to climate change it. oh, to children. to countenance one giant problem. and manila,

in northern impish in miami, lazy leo feature is a delay food. exactly. how will climate change affect us and our children learn more at d, w dot com slash water. we have all seen how fast cities are growing and the new houses and roads often eat up all the green spaces in between. but a city without space for plants, animals and insects is not going to be a healthy place for anyone. so what should we do? right, sondra simply making hawks is nice for humans, but not enough for nature. where biodiversity is for sure, was space as this often very tight up a look at the project in berlin. wessa volunteers are doing the updates by planting

. you see, bah, b, nothing but concrete, wherever you look. it's a sad reality in many cities. but it is possible to create micro forests in urban settings. this day care center on the outskirts of berlin is doing just bass. the saw was 1st analyzed in a lab to see which areas would need enriching with humorous and activated charcoal . that house the trees thrive unless space. here 3 saplings are planted on one square meter, much closer than usual. lucas bearing a once to see a lot of tony forrest's planted in germany, we hung about swanson for she'd in a ball. we selected 20 types of trees and shrubs based on a vegetation analysis under them is that they're all native species on,

but we want to try and recreate what happens naturally in a mixed forest up through an escape. boxley missed so that we also get different levels of vegetation office in the car, must lay on a more of a shrug layer on 2 main layers of trees on it. and that's why i help bumptious. he set up the meal organization to develop these tiny forests. it's named for the japanese man who came up with this method. akita, milwaukee, funded by donations $600.00 saplings, with a total of $15000.00 heroes will be planted here at the daycare. the organization created its 1st micro forest, 100 kilometers north of berlin. after just one year, the bushes are bearing fruit. there are more insects to without of these young forest as it is hoped, a new many forest will soon flourish here too. ah, and how about you? if you are also doing your bid, tell us about it, visit our website,

or send us or tweet hash tag doing your bit. we share your stories. on the subject is something you've all held in your hands many times. aluminium is the 2nd most use metal on earth after i am, it's almost everywhere. drinks can spray cans, airplanes, automobiles. the famous making alo, medium is incredibly energy intensive. the process causes some to percent of humanities, total greenhouse gases. clearly then, it is vital to collect used aluminum and recycle it. well. we went to lay gas to visit the company that is doing its best to promote the circular economy.

this is no ordinary scrap yard. just outside lagos, discarded engine blocks crank shafts, and exhaust systems are waiting for a new lease on life. they are about to be turned into precious ingots of pure alimentary m. here in the furnace of the british company, romco metals, the discarded parts and melted down alongside old cans had more than 660 degrees celsius. this separates the aluminum from the remaining components. and what happens is whenever we saw to the rotors we received was known as an angle . ringo in a single form. as you can see this piece right here. so this is about 4 to 6 pages were relatively new. to really what will happen is there will start over large local gondo ready for it, more which you can see her world of ready to go. raymond, on the wigan is the founder and ceo of the company. he opened the site here 7 years

ago. conditions are ideal in africa's largest economy, more than a 5th of the population is unemployed and only a fraction of the waste in nigeria gets recycled in this country of 215000000. the government is also protecting the domestic market from cheaper alum minium imports from abroad. with high import taxes, you can be green and be industrial st on right. so for example, inherently what we do here recycling is inherently green. we're saving not point 3 . what we're, we're actually emitting not only 3 tons of carbon for every once about a minimum of produce, right? so in comparisons primary where it's 20 tons of call them for every one times about a 1000000 producing more. when you're using coal and more heavy industrial,

the company recycles $1500.00 tons of alum minium every month in lagos. 450 people have found jobs here. thousands of workers earn money as alan minium recycling subcontractors, like straps suppliers when described from locally and then down of my me to my home and then outside then i would do loading in 3 look was trailer to supply remco logos. the most important rule material for ela, minium is book site the or is mind in countries like malaysia, guinea, brazil, and india. rain forests are destroyed for it, and groundwater contaminated recycling aluminum helps to conserve these resources. it's production is also a lot more energy efficient using just 5 percent of the energy required in the production of new aluminum demand for precious raw materials is rising worldwide.

that makes recycled aluminum so valuable. as we drive towards the new green energy transition is we're seeing big, the grids being expanded, we're seeing the mix of the grid, actually changing, or renewables coming into focus. there's going to require a lot of materials and the motorcycle materials that we have in there is only going to help us get so the talk is that we're trying to teach both which want to reach globally. in addition to lagos, romco has had a production site in garner since last year. 3 more plants are set to open on the continent in the coming years. from liberia to europe now and some architects who are trying to collect city dwellers more to nature is not just about using natural materials to make inhabitants. feel more at home. the bio fully bots, like lobbying, architect, joe will present to you in on next. the boards uses so light on comp,

edges to the buildings, saw in the duct city of amsterdam. but the method works everywhere. islets morsels, thunderbolt van, you might think i would instead of concrete curves rather than hard edges. a style of architecture that loves life. the result of building according to the principles of by a filling architecture. jacqueline more garcia now is the architect of the free booter or book, an ear in the dutch city of amsterdam. one of the key elements of the by a field trip approach is to create direct connection with nature. and we create a dog by using natural materials that, that simulates or are connected, both visually and experientially, to, to nature wooden slats,

run around the entire building, ensuring optimal lighting conditions and privacy. the sounds movement was monitored for a whole year so the flats could be aligned perfectly. another fundamental concept of bio for like, architecture is that interior and exterior space should merge into one. as soon as we yeah, we wake up in this in this room we can already open up and have a direct connection to the terrace and to the natural element of the water. ah, the free boot or a special construction method, only cost about 10 percent more than a conventional 1. 2 families live here each with 120 square meters of living space . they enjoy a special indoor climate and a house with close to 0 energy consumption. thanks to state of the art technology

but yeah, especially like this room because the sun move around to house during the day and at the end of the day, it ends here and the lights is very beautiful in this room. it's not just the light that special. the house appeals to all the senses. when people come and visit, almost everybody wants to touch this part. it's curved, it's boot, people love it. ah, the concept isn't only finding favor in amsterdam. these days greener buildings are built in many places using wood and other natural materials. owners and architects try to integrate the surrounding nature into their constructions, even if not always under the label bio filling architecture.

jacko mo garcia, i know, is already thinking on a much larger scale as with his current project, my ptosis, it involves living units that can be extended at will it has so many benefits. so yeah, there's a high demand for these kind of the building. so i really foresee that in the future, there was, there would be more and more buildings designed with a bio filica approach. the free booter residents have no doubt that their quality of life has improved since moving it. life changes a spacious change and they're so much more cur, venus. so the whole experience is completely different. bio filling architecture provides a green and holistic approach to living space. an architectural concept with a future from euro back to africa,

the continent with words, young guess population. people here stand to be the ones most affected by climate change in their lifetimes, such as st. kenya were dropped, is already having a huge impact on communities. but one young woman there at the side, it that she's going to make a difference. well, even as a teenager, anita sonya wasn't willing to sit back and accept the inevitability of global warming. last november, she spoke on stage at the un climate change conference in glasgow scotland to raise awareness of kenya's climate emergencies. we spent some time with the young messiah to see exactly what she is doing to help. ah and 22 year old anita saw you not is a climate warrior she's fighting to protect her home armed northwood weapons but

with 3 saplings. cardeana, county sock of nearby is suffering. it's was drought in 40 years. climate change is taking a heavy toll on the re, john eats, effects are catastrophic. we depend on past totally depend on water. we depend on all these things that have been affected by climate change. so over time, if we knew what was happening before and what is happening now, showed that it keeps getting worse, we keep losing animals or we keep losing almost every any know, for every we actually look at animals have our wealth. so we're actually getting portly by the, because of climate change. she's witnessed fast hon. the devastation of forest in her home on the border of toms. and now at the same time, drought periods are getting longer. drought has become the new normal and food and water are increasingly short supply. according to the international red cross,

3000000 people are affected by food scarcity, including now you e, i, tati, who has 7 children. she's lived here all her life. and this is the was drought she's ever experienced. thanks to her environmental activism. anita sina knows the deputy governor of co jadwin today, the pain now your he of is it bringing her food so she can feed her family for the next few days. in the past, she was able to leave from her kettle, but now there's not enough vegetation for them to graze on as she has to buy animal feed. before the drought. now, you e. a tati kept 20 cows. now there are only 5 cows and a few goats left and nobody there my yet it, the difference with the seasons is that there used to be shot and long grains. that meant people could plant mays and beans. they could feel their families. but now there's not enough rainfall resulting in long droughts,

and we no longer plant crops for human consumption. nobela, we have a shortage of food. people are suffering from severe hunger and animals are emaciated and sold at i'd throw our we praise, everything's harder than it is to be more. there were more. when our feeding, i mean will flag people. you know, you have to buy food for animals. you have to take care of them live near enough water and all that. so they've been for much, oh happening that is actually very, very painful. come to think of it live up, people who have contributed almost nothing to climate change but or on the receiving end of the impulse me i meter sign of founded and the mental protection organization called ice warriors. as part of their walk, the activists have planted 5000 mostly indigenous trees. according to a canyon forest, obviously, part of the country as far as cover increased from 6 percent in 2018 to nearly 9

percent in 2021. but before a titian remains a serious problem, in case we need to trace to uh, to cover we need to clean our oceans to after a couple things. so just like we need something to, to help clean what we have already released, the anita sign also works closely with the local government to raise awareness of mental concerns among local. and she even went into politics herself to ensure environmental was met ahead of the mentor reelections. she spent the summer campaigning in the villages as a member of the green thinking auction politic. the reason i went for parliament i use it is because it's for the selfish sit. it says that if i go to parliament and possible, it will help or it will also speak for someone who is not in my constituents. and

it's also where most critical issues and bills can be passed and that is what i tend to do. i need to sign. i didn't money to secure a seat, but she remains and she'll continue trunk and the new little mental causes and low being politicians. and she is well aware that environmental protection isn't only a priority payment changes. norfolk to other country is going to add to the quick of call or a call to action, which i think that the little hope remaining. for some of us, we are waiting to see what these countries will do. and i believe these we can still do something if we commit. so when the, the finances that we are financing fossil fuels, we can transfer the financing and finance. what we can in, in moving from fulfills to fossil free, anita selina, is contributing to that transition. i planting trees and ensuring our green future for kids. young. wal water encourage an example. believe it or not,

our time is already up. we hope you like the show. good bye for me, chris logan state. my jerry and also for me, sandra, here in uganda. well, if you want to talk about anything you've just seen, write to us or leave a comment on our social media platforms. hope to see you again next week when we'll be back with another exciting episode of equal africa till next time. bye bye ah ah ah ah, ah, ah, ah ah
