flora and fauna is threatened. initiatives like this should help raise awareness is the idea of working eco africa. next on dw, we've got some hot tips for your bucket list. romantic corner chat. hot spot for food, chairs and some great cultural memorials to mood. w, travel off we go ah, for a few days now head so states in around $30000.00 delegates from all over the world . i've been meeting in egypt for cop 27. the global climate summit. there they

have been discourse in progress and measures on how we may still manage to keep global women below 2 degrees celsius. welcome to a new edition of echo africa. here from olga state nigeria, i am crease elapse, and i am sondra twin over a very warm welcome from me here in complet gander. well, plastic west air pollution, agriculture. they all have an impact on the climate. and all of these issues among med, now in the next 4 to minutes would blow into least another 2 weeks playing a role at cope 27 and highlight some possible solutions coming up on the show. how up to this in pool hungry south africa on trying to promote solar energy and on reach countries to finance the fridge to green energy. how aware registers shooting

ivory courses help to raise environmental awareness in a walking long district and program in wonder the shows how environmental education can walk. we start, oh, sure. in egypt where the cope delegates are busy meeting, but hopefully not using disposable plastic dishes or straws. currently, the north african country is the biggest polluter of the mediterranean sea. according to the world wildlife fund, it estimates $2800000.00 pounds of plastic west end up in the mediterranean, every single year. under 43 percent of lot comes from egypt. and now some young egyptians are trying to stop these animals flawed of plastic. ah, egypt as africa's biggest plastic consumer and it's plastic consumption continues to grow. but where does all of that?

plastic waste end up. some young the jeep. sions have figured out how to dispose it while creating energy, or even sustainable product. alexandria is egypt, 2nd largest city, and it's c side. promenade is beloved by locals and tours to like the beaches packed with families on the weekends. and many of them lead trash behind. when they leave. the heaps of litter have worried nor cazin for a while. now she and other volunteers of fighting the increasing pollution on egypt, beaches the environmental group and lasting egypt has been organized in beach cleanups to help improve the situation for 4 years. now. they've already collected 10 tons of trash and gain some attention in the process. almost giddy about that fear am is gathering like the po and the impact may not be radical at the moment.

but when be rich in passing and switch them, the idea gets bigger. every time quickly becomes more aware of the problem, wouldn't want to live with them. i went up each year, 12000000000 plastic bags are used in egypt and almost half of them and up as little on the streets all in the countryside. the rest ends up in landfills. the volunteers from ben lastic dipped hope to put a stop to that. the trash they collect is giving a new life. that man headed this type of trash descent the landfills and get buried . but now we'll start collaborating with a company called environ adapt virus. we'll give them the trash and turn it into a few how and why long and foreign adapt processes, plastic waste and produces 1000 tons of fuel from it. annually the trash is sorted and shredded a cement factory uses the fuel made from the plastic in order to make its production more sustainable. around 10 percent of alexandria is trash now goes

through this process. when you look at the ways that we are dealing with it, it's very contaminated because we don't have the segregation of source in egypt. so we take those materials, we feed it into the processing line that we have here. and the output is a material that is in a physical form that can be used to replace fossil fuels. environmental experts see this as only a 1st step towards a real circular economy. when we produce alternative fuel fema reuse a significant amount of the materials volume ahead won't give them a salary fig value of the sheet value. the result, high burning is on the other hand them one of the barn. trash on land. still still alley haul. don't have any control over the burning luisa smoke into the air in walton even cause respiratory illnesses like asthma, robert, i, marcia lan. and colleen for

a fact one to do more than converts plastic ways to energy. that's why they started their recycling start up tile green in 2021. they processed plastic bags, containers and single used plastics from the food industry. the material is cleaned shredded, melted, and mating to break so tiles. we don't do this month at all. we don't use any type of chemicals. olla the, our main ingredients is low value and undecidable, plastic waste. and we just add some natural materials like sand, for example, tile green plains, to save around 4 tons of carbon dioxide for every 100 square meters of plastic tiles. the manufacture plus their tiles are more robust than cement something they're eager to demonstrate to customers. our product doesn't produce any emissions from the process or find effect shaving and we're manufacturing the files compared to a cement that produces a lot of carbon emissions and consumes

a lot of water during the production. our product can be 100 percent recycled again and doesn't produce any anyways. the start of manufacturers, 1400 square meters of sidewalk tiles every month. that's around $480.00 tons of recycled single use plastic every year. compared to the millions of tons of plastic waste, egypt generates every year that may not seem like much, but it shows the recycling has a lot of potential in egypt to volunteer trash collectors from ban lastic egypt approving it. the young activists are already planning their next beach clean up in alexandria. plastic waste on the beach is in preteen, but at least it can be picked up. al pollution is something totally different. in south africa, coalfields you can't see and feel the polluted air. but what can you actually do

about it? exactly, sandra bala, lenny is where almost all those south africa's cold and energies produced. the name in the in good language, even means place of cold. while the people there are suffering and what the future without co. but the road ahead is still long and complicated. ah, south africa's economy is powered by coal. but critics say this comes out of massive cost. the sciences day evolution is a killer and therefore government needs to and then they need to gently. my hat is bleeding for the people who are living in this area and they are getting poor every day. 80 percent of the country's energy is produced by 12 coal fired power stations. in the south african cold belt. in 2019, greenpeace declared the area to be one of the most polluted on earth. every

dcsf value car suffering every day we can't breathe. would you even ask yourself whether you're going to wake up alive? he la blubber. jill of alcohol. you lie awake the whole night without sleeping wholly night because you can't breathe because soften up. couldn't pay for to medical when glen dr. glove was practicing near my luck. lini is right in the cold was h it me do do zealot. and what nancy is breathing heavily while she's been having problems for years, the condition has worse and, and she's concerned with this look of blasting. does lot of mine's around the age polluted what taste polluted. so obviously you gonna have to rectify spin a toyota is quite often we get bronchitis, we do get chronic sinusitis. we do get awesome because of the environment is why the mother of 4 has sent 3 of her children to other parts of the country because

their health was poor. now she fears for herself. she works in building and road maintenance. i. d, king i, in that there's no way i can do work like that. kazi, i have to have to sit down and take a break on the time. environmental justice group is celebrating a fixed rate quarterly juggle it in the quote unquote deadlier case. the high going in 2020 to the constitutional court ordered the government to enforce rules for polluters to meet the minimum equality standards. the judgement was celebrated as a landmark case. better it will only become a reality if less, coal is burnt, but the industry employes almost a $100000.00 people, weaning itself off coal will have dramatic consequences. promised masula, however, believes that a transition to green energy is vital. she runs will carnie, a local environmental, n g o, the land it's

a mess. the what terry was that to youth, to rely on and it's a we, we started by a reason on his end, he hearing from communities opinions on how do they want to see the future without cold vio, county is based on the outskirts of him. aline, the angio installed a solar system on its own roof to show that power production can be taken into the hands of the community. solar can be an opportunity for local job creation and healthier environments according to vio county. well, that's a vision that my beula propagates with the communities you hutton persevere lemme changes, because for us we are speaking of community 3. that to one issue for mooney, the cost of renewables cannot be compared to gallop the economy at the same time

taking care of people's health. the world health organization makes air pollution responsible for about 8000000 premature deaths annually. more than h i. v. aids, malaria, and tuberculosis together for the urgency to act as shared amongst the delicates of the african coal network conference in durban. the yearly gathering brings representatives of coal affected communities together to discuss the energy future of the continent, and goni and the mar beula are also there. while the situation is dire, many of the delicates also see opportunities to build better energy systems for more resilient societies. oh, in full and that's what i where example portal feels to not foster local ownership . in fact, local fossil fuels actually lock people into being really what will be quoted being controlled, you know, by foreign investments. so actually looking to was renewable energy. was there something that still shinny and democratic iran,

so all this is not just new to people any issues, but on the board developments because the energy system is enshrined in global system of development decked as much benefit africa according to the delegates, rich industrialized nations should pick up the bill for the transition as compensation for polluting the atmosphere for the last 200 years. for me quite as easy, the transition cannot come quick enough. after picking up her daughter from kindergarten, she returns home. her electricity has gone. rolling outages are affecting the neighborhood up to 3 times a day. a bitter irony that those suffering from the pollution of the ones being cut from power. guanasha and a daughter of gotten used to the dark. but there's always an uneasy feeling. but don't go in, i will, shall fall until i'm always afraid. one of my daughter or soup kitchen made when the attack comes, you have to run to the clinic in the kidney, coca cola, what had taken to the other day. she was so sick we had to go to the hospital. what

was the wood c as in my hand imprinted on to help her on committing tellers in token local m. c. i was with her a piece. after spending 5 days in hospital, her daughter got better again. it's high time that the impact of air pollution on people's lives is recognized if better air quality standards aren't implemented around south africa, school fields, the, all the options left for residents are suffering or moving. but in many cases, local people are also partly responsible for the pollution in the environment. like when to simply dispose of rubbish on the side of the road or in the river. usually it comes down to a lock off awareness. now a radio program in ivory coast shows the way are these are doing your bits this

week. ah, finally someone is listening when the women in abidjan super gone district talk about the problems in their neighborhood unique america who is doing just that. he's a journalist for audio genatossio or a web radio station on which concentrates on topics concerning climate change and the environment. and there are plenty of environmental problems in you for goal. garbage is everywhere. the water is filthy and dead. it stinks of refuse. without a trash collection system, the garbage ends up on the side of the road or in the banks of the river in exist unique america who refuses to accept that. if everyone worked together, they could make big changes without waiting for government health. they wouldn't give others or bol dividend. we took a bought sustainable development in the big capitals, but it's the application that matters. it is the way the local people leave the

office. that little guy, hardy ocean and i seal, has been on the air since 2018. it's 17 programs are dedicated to the u. n. 17 development goals. and you know, the journalists from vision and the u. po, go, neighborhood, aim to encourage the cities, residents to work together and take action themselves and solving the neighborhoods, environmental problems, patios, in that us, your is only available on the internet. but they hope that soon they'll be able to broadcast over real radio waves where they can reach an even bigger audience. and how about you? if you are also doing your bit, tell us about it, visit our website, or send us or tweet hash tag doing your bit. we share your stories. it can also be a problem. when people know too much about the impending climate catastrophe. yes,

greece, the consequences can be psychological, strace, and even fear for the feature in france, volunteers can own land, how to help people suffering from climate uncertainty. laura's tires in storms, floods, jeep waves and droughts. for many, 2022 was here that climate change started hitting very close to home. summer times on the south of france, ravaged by forest fires. scores of people had to leave their homes. holiday makers had to be evacuated. as campsites and vacation resorts were engulfed by flames, firefighters spend weeks battling the blazes which continue to rage. the fires left devastation in their wake and a wide spread feeling of fear that global warming will increase the frequency of

such wild fires in coming years. in 2021 and international study, questioned young people in 10 countries about climate anxiety. nearly 60 percent of those who answered said they were extremely worried about it. 75 percent said the future is frightening. 54 percent said climate change made them feel powerless and helpless, and 45 percent feel their daily lives are negatively affected by it. in france, 1st aiders are now being trained to help people suffering from panic attacks or mental health problems as a result of climate anxiety. he's a volunteers can sign up for the psychological 1st aid courses. this place avila mont, those a lot of environmental stress at the moment. you can really feel it measure before we never talked about a song as a teacher, i never talked about it. ha, ha, says i'm in. the environment was never mentioned at a body,

but now the issue was coming out in discussions about trauma. now it's not unusual for the subject to come up at a participants learn how to best respond. first aid could actually be just a glass of water or a tissue discount, or it could be an offer to talk or to help reach out to relatives. in the serious cases, they can refer those suffering to a doctor or therapist, but many of them here have already encountered this kind of situation as a book with up open. you must go to, i do a lot of tutoring for examples in secondary schools. and in fact, in recent years, i've noticed an increase in stresses and learning difficulties i did. if he could get a party session over to the what we always think of physical help and helping someone who has collapsed or been injured in an accident. but we don't always think of people with mental health problems right now. there's a lot of them. so far, 30000 volunteers have taken the mental health 1st aid training course in france. the plan is that by 2028, 700. 50000 people will be trained. it's

a great initiative, but perhaps the best way to deal with climate change is to take action to stop it from getting worse. climate activists hope the demonstrations will bring about a shift in awareness. and it seems to be working one projects in ronda is showing future generations that it is better to protect animals than hunt them down. that's a tough composition though, since there is a long tradition of hunting in the country, let's have a look. ah good. so what kind of monkeys are these, what, how many times do they need? and what are the threats? the fees on these youths belong to an environmental club? we teaches them about wild animals in the hopes they will help protect species

diversity and promote peaceful coexistence between people and their fellow creatures. the initiative founder and head arch, emani shim, we expect great things from the students. you have to protect the environment surrounding you, but as the, when you find in many more in the community, you can advocate for it. don't kid the animals don't disturb or cut the trees. always think that when you are protecting the environment, trees, animals, you are protecting your sales of would love to be from you. good national hon. that is a treasure, tuneful biological diversity. the 1068 plant species have been counted here, and many of these grasses and trees and found in any of the forests or parks he, rwanda. but his love just the greenery that's unique. the park is home to $322.00 species of birds and making it a great spot for bird watching twice a month in many shim way, and his group explore the national park,

hoping to encounter some of its 75 species of domestic mammals. like chimpanzees all rare owl faced monkeys but had ski the learn more about what they've seen. this project is part of her wand and government initiative. oh yes. in the you guys. you the members over did implement the glove where the future of this country, which is that teaching you educating you and having you taking a deep, tulsa, that is the promise. over the future. the people seek their mission seriously. the assuming responsibility for the environment by preserving its plants and animals gone bo, our mandate and these environmental clubs is to be right on the front line for

environmental protection nava morning. it's unacceptable for people who am their varman, to be left to their own devices. on one day they must be shown the right way of reporter to the authorities. the refuse to change your attitude, aka about that. it requires that you with more than $400.00 people per square kilometer rwanda's, population density is very high. so folks keep encroaching on nature with disastrous results or species diversity. the partial settlement of a car garren national park has led to the disappearance of many lions and rhinos. so the government wants to sensitize not just school kids under foe who cannot avoid the invoking. those wouldn't move to school. on weekends, school groups visit villages to spread their message. careful, wild animals don't set traps or chopped down cheese. often they propose a treat. villagers can receive farm animals in exchange for giving up hunting.

lemme just 7 of rwanda as 30 districts take part in the environmental club project . but that could soon change youths make up some 2 thirds of the country's population. so their help is keen to preserve the species diversity on what a great project. i hope the idea catches on in other countries. above all, i hope the cop delegate in egypt will agree and useful measures to protect our weld . well, does the from us see you next week? i have chris the looms in the state. my area exactly, crease because we have to do everything we can to protect this one planted that we have to stop global warming. and just maybe i'll assure made us more contribution by highlighting new ideas for more information. check us out on a for sure. media platforms. we're really new. let's stay connected. bob. bye for me. sandra. 3, no video here in kampala,
