ah franklin oh, ready knows. welcome to tech told me about hackers and paralyzing to your societies. computers that are some are you and governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work, how they can wilson for, and that's how they can also go terribly what you know, you 20, a for a few days now head, so states and around 30000 delegates from all over the world. i've been meeting in

egypt for comp 27, the global climate summits there. they have been discussed 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 nigel area, i am crease elapse, and i am sondra twin over a very warm welcome from me here in comp, uganda will plastic west air pollution, agriculture. they all have an impact on the climate. and all of these issues among med. now, in the next 40 minutes would blow into reese and other picks 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, trying to promote solar energy and call on reach countries to finance the fridge to green energy. how aware registers shooting ivory course help to environmental

awareness in a walking long district and program in wonder the shows how environmental education can walk. we start ashore 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, if estimates $2800000.00 pounds of plastic west and up in the mediterranean, every single year under 43 percent of lot comes from egypt alone. now some young egyptians are trying to stop these animals flawed of plastic, 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 products. alexandria is egypt, 2nd largest city, and its c side promenade is beloved by locals and tours to like the beaches packed with families on the weekends. and many of them leave trash behind when they leave . the heaps of litter have worried nor cazin for a while now. she and other volunteers are 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. although can you about

that? fear am is gathering like the po and the impact may not be radical at the moment. but when we reach 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 ban lastic dipped hope to put a stop to that, the trash they collect is giving a new life that man it because this type of trash just exempt 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 to turn it into a few how a law and varone 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's, 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 the real circular economy. when we produce alternative fuel pima reuse, a significant amount of the materials volume, no, it won't give them a salary. fig value of the sheets value. the result, her burning is on the other hand them one of the barn trash still still. i don't have any control over the burn louisa smoke into the air in walton because respiratory illnesses like asthma, robert and marcia lan and colleen refract. one to do more than converts plastic

waste 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 types of chemicals. olla, the, our main ingredient is low value and undecidable, plastic waste. and we just add some natural material like sand. for example, tile green claims to save around photons of carbon dioxide for every 100 square meters of plastic tiles. the manufacture plus the tiles are more robust than cement something they're eager to demonstrate to customers. our product doesn't produce any emissions from the process of finding fact, 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, which clean up in alexandria. plastic waste on the beach is entreaty, but at least it can be picked up. and pollution is something totally different. in south african coalfields, you can 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 there are suffering and want the future without co. but the road ahead is still long and complicated. south africa's economy is powered by coal, but critics say this comes out of massive cost. the science is dead, air pollution is akila and the fault government needs to and then we 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 countries 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. ever

dcsf by you car suffering every day we can't breathe. would you even ask yourself whether you're going to wake up alive? he la la, la jolla, valcall, you lie awake the whole night without sleeping light because you can't breathe because awful up coma, pitiful to medical, went on dr. and love was practice in name. aline is right in the call, that was a chip. me do, do zealot. what massey is breathing heavily while she's been having problems for years. the condition has worse and then she's concerned with this look of blasting. does lot of mine's her around the age, polluted or taste polluted? so obviously you gonna have a lot of respiratory programs quite often. we get bronchitis, we do get chronic sinusitis. we do get asthma because of the environment as well. 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. id king i, in that there is no way i can do work like that. because i have to have to sit down and take a break on the time i bought a mental justice group if celebrates a fixed rate photo. if jugglers in the quote unquote dirty hi home. in 2022, the constitutional court ordered the government to enforce rules for polluters to meet 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. my beulah, 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 math the what today rivers that we used to rely on and it's a mess we. we studied 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 m 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, an image 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, this'll apathy in the community, rooftops. we have our own station in the in, but can solar really replace power plants and how can communities financed their own green power? 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 mooney, the costs 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 2000 plans have been putting people at tying annually because of evolution. a more than 10000 people are hospitalized because all for disparity

problems. i think um we part of all confusion price in a perfect balance between a development and, and that i to help. so it's not in either or situation. we can 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, going full, and that's what i what example fossil feels to not pasta local ownership. in fact,

local for 4th appears actually love people into being really what would be college being controlled, you know, by foreign investments. so actually lubricant was viewable energy. was there something that still shinny and democratic iran, 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 diflucan effect 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 nosy, 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 neighbourhood 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 dagger in love will, shall, until i'm always afraid. one of my daughter was so good she made when the attack comes, you have to run to the clinically clinic corner law. what i taken to the other day she was so sick, we had to go to the hospital. what was the, what's the other thing i had to print it on to help her get me thing. 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 only 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 lack of awareness. now a radio program in ivory coast shows the way our needs are doing your bit this week . ah, finally someone is listening when the women in abbey jones, you forgot district, talk about the problems in their neighborhood. unique amaya, kirk who is doing just that. he's a journalist for how to yours genatossio, a web radio station 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 rivers in exist

unique america who refuses to accept that. if everyone worked together, they could make big changes without waiting for government health with others 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 live offering that little guy, hardy ocean allison has been on the air since 2018. it's 17 programs are dedicated to the u. n. 17 development goals. and you know, the journalist 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 stress and even fear for the future in france, volunteers cannot learn how to help people suffering from climate anxiety. forest fires. storms, floods, sheet 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. firefighters spend weeks battling the blazes which continue 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 sign up for the psychological 1st aid courses. this place avila montana. there is 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. i may, as i met, says, i may be, environment was never mentioned at a body, but now the issue is 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 williams. in 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 the company most good. while 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 does if he can get a party session over through 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 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, so what kind of monkeys are these?

what habitat do they need, and what are the threats the faces 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 money 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 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 noon. good. national hon. he's a treasure. true for biological diversity in 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. what 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 explored the national park, hoping to encounter some of its 75 species of domestic mammals. like chimpanzees all 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 debug over did implement glo. would if it does conflict, which is that teaching you educating you in the hub, bring you taking a deep, tulsa, that is the promise over the future. 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. mobile, no one, it's on acceptable for people who am their varman, to be left to their own devices. on one, they must be shown the right way of reporter to the authorities like the refuse to change your attitude. arca, about that a coin usually with 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 gary 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,

are invoking those who never go 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, la, just 7 of rwanda as 30 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 their help is keen to preserve his species diversity long 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 on useful measures to protect our weld . well, does it from us see you next week? i have chris alone 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 say, connected bob. bye for me, sandra. 3, no video here in com. paula, uganda. ah, with ah, ah, with
