ah, the master movies returned to the coast of the remainder of saint home. he success stories rational. biodiversity st. starts november 18th on d. w. come have a peek at this county, the highlights you every week in your in box. subscribe now. ah for a few days now head so states and around $30000.00 delegates from all over the world . i've been meeting in egypt for cop 27th. the global climate summits there. they

have been discourse in progress and measures on how we may still manage to keep global warming below 2 degrees celsius. welcome to a new edition of echo africa. here from a good state nigeria, i am chris elapse and i am sondra twin over you. a very one will come from me here in complet, uganda will plastic west air pollution, agriculture. they all have an impact on the climate. and all of these issues among met. now in the next 4 to minutes, we'll dive into these and other topics, playing a role art cope 27 and highlight some possible solutions coming up on the shell. how activists in poll hungry south africa are trying to promote solar energy and go on rich countries to finance the switch to green energy. how

a web register should in ivory coast, helps to raise environmental awareness in a walk in class districts and of program in ronda. the shows how environmental education can walk. we start our show 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 tons of plastic west end up in the mediterranean, every single year and of 43 percent of that comes from egypt alone. now, some young egyptians are trying to stop these animals flawed of plastic. lou, as egypt as africa's biggest plastic consumer and it's plastic consumption

continues to grow. but where does all of that? plastic waste and 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 its seaside promenade is beloved by locals and tours. to like the beaches packed with families on the weekends, and many of them lose trash behind when they leave. the heaps of litter have warren norm cazin for a while. now. she and other volunteers of fighting the increasing pollution on egypt, beaches the environmental group. and last week, 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. although can you about that fear am is gathering like the

power 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 people become more aware of the problem wouldn't want to live without it. each year. 12000000000 plastic bags are used in egypt and almost half of them end 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 get this type of trash just exempt the landfills and get buried . but now you've started collaborating with a company called environs adapt virus would give them the trash and to turn it into a few how and why long and varone adapt processes, plastic waste and produces $1000.00 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 its it's very contaminated because we don't have segregation a 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 pima reuse, a significant amount of the materials volume, no, it won't give the salary fig value of the sheets value to the result. her burning is on the other hand and i want my burn trash on. still still, i don't have any control over the burning luisa smoke into the air in walton calls respiratory illnesses like asthma, robert and marcia lan. and colleen for

a fat 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 was cleaned shredded, melted, and made it to break. so tiles. we don't use the cement at all. we don't use any types of chemicals. olla the, our mean ingredients is low value and undecidable, plastic waste. and we just add some natural material like sun, for example, tile green plains, to save around photons of carbon dioxide for every 100 square meters of plastic tiles. the manufacture plus the tiles are more robust than the men, something they're eager to demonstrate to customers. our product doesn't produce any emissions from the process of fine effect shaven and we're

manufacturing the piles 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 egypt to volunteer trash collectors from ban lastic egypt approving it. the young activists so 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 as 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 good language even means place of cold. while the people they 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 dead evolution is akila 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, blah. jill valcall. you lie awake the whole night without sleeping wholly light because you can't breathe because awful. i couldn't from to medical when glen dr. glove was practicing near my luck. lini is right in the cold was h it me do do zealot. what nancy is breathing heavily while she's been having problems for years, the condition has worse and, and she's concerned with look of blasting. does lot of mine's around the age polluted what taste polluted. so obviously you gonna have a lot of respiratory, kronos, quite often we get bronchitis, we do get chronic sinusitis. we do get osman 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 is 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, hey, thanks for the quarterly gentlemen in the quote unquote deadly a case. the high game in 2022, 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 vio, county,

a local environmental n g o, the land it's a math the what terry was that to youth, to rely on. and it's a we was that it by reason on as, and 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 brooke county division that my beula propagates with the communities you hutton persevere, lemme changes for us. we are speaking of community 3 that we one in energy that will be a community lead. where it will give space,

especially for the young people to create a to manufacture for themselves, to make sure they put their desolate p. v. in the community roof talks, we have our own station in the in. but can solar really replace power plants? and how can communities finance their own green power. ready thomas, some new new deals with these questions. he works for groundwork, an organization that advocates for a just energy transition with new and better jobs, social justice, and poverty eradication. for money, the cost of renewables cannot be compared to coals, irreplaceable human loss. a 2017 study commissioned by groundwork was an eye opener that his eyes indicated that about 2220 people are dying annually because of evolution. more than 10000 people are hospitalized because offered us, but i thought he problems. i think um, we thought of all confusion in

a perfect balance between a development and, and that i to health. so it's not an either or situation. we can't develop 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 my 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 way example fossil feels to not pasta local ownership. in fact,

local 4th abuse. actually lock people into being really what would be college being controlled, you know, by foreign investments. so actually reporting to was viable energy. was there something that slow shinny and democratic huron? so all this is not just me to be any issues, but on the broad developments because the energy system is enshrined in global system of development that does not 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 noisy, 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. good, don't go in. i will show helen too. i'm always afraid. one of my daughter was so good she made. when the attack comes, you have to run to the clinic and the kidney aqua while patting to the other day. she was so sick we had to go to the hospital. what gaza with tears in my hand to print it on to help her on committing tell us 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 ah, 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 of awareness. now a radio program in ivory coast shows the way are these are doing your bit this week . ah, finally someone is listening when the women in abidjan super gone district talk about the problems in their neighborhood. unique amaya cuckoo is doing just that. he's a journalist for audio. shannon has your web radio station, which concentrates on topics concerning climate change and the environment. and there are plenty of environmental problems in you for gone. 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 luxury or bol dividend. we talk about sustainable development in the big capitals, but it's the application that matters. it is the way the local people leave offering, difficult, hardy ocean lucille has been on the air since 2018. it's 17 programs are dedicated to the u and 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 pastor 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 future in france, volunteers can own land, how to help people suffering from climate uncertainty. oh, forest fires. storms, floods, gte, waves and droughts. for many, 2022 was the year that climate change started hitting very close to home summer times or the south of france ravaged by forest fires. scores of people had to leave their homes. holiday makers had to be evacuated. as campsites in vacation,

resorts were engulfed by flames. firefighter spent weeks battling the blazes which continued to rage, the fires the 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 the 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. um it is, i'm, it is i'm in the environment was never mentioned natalie. bonnie: but now the issue was coming up in discussions about trauma. now it's not unusual for the subject to come up at it. 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 williams. 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 up. auntie says over to her, we always think of physical help in 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 of taking 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 i lease, what habitat do they need and what are the threats the fees on these youths belong to an environmental club? he teaches them about wild animals in the hopes they will help protect species, diversity, and port peaceful coexistence between people and their fellow creatures. the initiative founder and head arch in money shim, we expect great things from the students. you have to protect the environment surrounding you, but as the, when you find it in any more, in the community, you can advocate for it. don't keep 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 well about a new good national hon. that is a treasure. truthful biological diversity in the 1068 plant species have been counted here. and many of these grasses and trees unfound in any of the forests or

parks e. rwanda. but is not 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 or rare owl faced monkeys, but at school they learn more about what they've seen. this project is part of her wand and government initiative that will allow you to look into you guys, you did my boss over did implement glo. would, if it does conflict, would you lose that teaching you educating you in the hub? bring you taking a theory, tulsa, that did the promise of diffusion. the people's take their mission seriously.

they're assuming responsibility for the environment by preserving its plants and animals. gumbo, co amended and these environmental clubs is to be right on the front line for environmental protection. now when it's on acceptable for people who am their varman, to be left to their own devices on why they must be shown the right way of reporter to the authorities. if they refuse to change your attitude. arca, about that coin using the teacher 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 while species diversity. the partial settlement of a could gear and national park has led to the disappearance of many lions and rhinos. so the government wants to sensitize not just school kids under a full who cannot avoid,

involving those who have moved to school. on weekends, ski greeks visit villages to spread their message. care for wild animals don't set traps or chopped down trees. often they propose a treat. villagers can receive farm animals in exchange for giving up hunting. lemme just 7 or 430 districts take part in the environmental club project. but that could some change youths make up some 2 thirds of the country's population. so the help is key to preserve the species diversity about 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 world. well, does the from us see you next week? i am chris, the looms in the state, my area x. luckily, crease because we have to do everything we can to protect this one planted that we
