i an increasing number of women in latin america are guessing fed up their needs of murdering and depressing us. net fighting against sexism, violence, and full access to abortion. pressure from the street has already proven successful . opposition is on the rise. canada with my cheese dos, november 25th on d, w o . a nature opens us many resources, but we don't always use them optimally. sun and the wind are abundant. so how can

we harness them cleverly? welcome to a new edition of equal africa, environment magazine. here in camp along uganda, i am sandra trina, and oh whoa, whoa, come from lead, chris alone in oakland state nigeria, sometimes we can learn from the past. our ancestors knew pretty well all to farm sustainably. but 1st, let's look forward. this is what's coming up at the next 30 minute. ah, all you can charge your cellphone on your own. sweeter paul gray, nice solar energy really and farmers returning to one ancient methods to feed the cat. oh, it happened to all of us. you're sitting with your family having dinner and all of a sudden the lights go out. paul failure. kayla. jerry,

it's unfortunately our daily occurrence for a lot of people, only about 56 percent of my durance are connected to the national park grade. and it's on reliable, on average, in i drove home, gets about 5 hours of electricity per day. but because of our proximity to the equator, we have intense energy coming from the sun. how we can harness it effectively, independent off the national park grid is a focus of this next report from bum bum in august state. ah, this welding torch is running on electricity. while at the same time, mobile phones are charging on the headdress and next bill is running a fact. a few years ago, this would have been impossible for the people who mum gum in the state of the

village, wasn't connected to any power grease. now it has its own small solar power, the $85.00 kilowatt peak plum. that is sarah, not only does 2000 cipher households but also people, but all saw. we have are both 100 products use use us. are both territory commercial uses on or so 30 public renewable energy has made the entire village independent of the public. great mammogram is one of around 100 communities benefiting from the nigerian energy support program. the project receives financial support from germany and the local companies build and offering the plans to my euro, any support program commission by the repeal human and the german for grammar news . t for economy corporation and development has helped deny dram people. in many

ways we supported major ali, the renewable energy, energy efficiency, or education measures of the country. and we've given 30000 people, asked us to electricity in this part of nigeria. solar energy has proved that you can use the local economy. grocers can refrigerate their goods and sell them over a longer period treats people can work more relying as they are no longer dependent on gas power generators and macs. it transport company from league us as always will set up shop here. it's developed on the bank that's able to handle conditions or nature is routes. its rental station is located right next to the solar power. these people don't have rude networks, an access to fuel station. so, um, setting up the charging infrastructure for these vehicles, right, in the heart of the call, nancy already saves them time on their models are discussed. i do have to over to

get par for the vehicles. that house, you know, tremendous impact on time. save in that australia's impact on able security. many villages are still skeptical. it's acknowledged. that's why max stresses the environmental friendliness. when marketing his bikes, the fundamental difference is just also accomplish on engines. that pollutes though the environments max spent, you know, according to time with the members of discriminates, you training them on how to use this, this vehicles, or how to get used to. oh, how quiet the are fam, i do need you down to is a fan of the bikes and now uses them for deliveries. the rising cost of gas is another factor in his decision to switch to and bike, which cost sim, between $501000.00 mary per day, roughly, wanted to yours to lucy richie. you know, how do we, solar power has brought prosperity to our communities,

or more people who can now use light, z televisions and freezers. and we now have, well, those who can you solar power to do their work. so we don't have to travel far for such what religious sheila moms may be success story, but he can't disguise the fact that nigeria has a serious energy problem. often, only a fraction of its existing capacity has been used due to technical problems and acts of sabotage. the result, 55 percent of the population has no access to electricity. and that is the problem in a direct keeps on rising dark places that day not ad assisted the national grid for one and 20 is touchy. yeah, i didn't depend it on for the for dinner. i do you which caused a lot of money. so renewable energy, easy solution to our problem in nigeria, new when i did don into right, we were, we damina ashley trains specialists in sooner. technology more than $5000.00

nigerians are taking horses that washed them or cut him like a lot of the niger and energy support program. they're free of charge and a shalaya says her graduates have good job process. we need more person out there that i killed enough to solve our energy for what a possible event about different types of companies in id hadn't let about how she did affect full. i resources how to do basic solar installation out you out to the maintenance and troubleshooting of the last is days. graduates from the academy to the maintenance on my masula partner. helping make the village a really model for renewable energy natured. by next year. the government plans to supply if further 100000 people with electricity from clean energy sources, morsel a power plant would certainly help

a lot of people here in nigeria. and they don't always have to be huge. solar energy can also be very useful on a small scale. one student from kenya came up with an ingenious idea for how to reach our devices, such as cell phones, do an entirely without par banks or electricity from the grid. let's find out more in this weeks. go in your bits. ah, b, there is no shortage of sunshine in kenya. a graduate of university of nearby has developed a device that uses solar power to charge cellphones and produce light and is attached to a hoodie. it's supposed to be so. oh, i do electrical engineering. alamo read all my power mode are being executed.

so i must make my theory with the letter. for that it is the letter. and now what a proof. they cannot, i electrocute invoice. another thing ah, it 1st because i, if i follow, follow ruge. calhoun imports the materials to make the hoodies the mini sala pour system is put in place on the hoodie and then covered up with an easy to remove seal. this is connected to a phone chat and cable his customers as students with limited access to electricity allan one aina has just bought himself a call from design. i really feel cool. i feel like, oh, i feel like with

a i haven't seen anyone else with something like this. if he thought i'd give me that. i mean, like i'm living in 20 that she couple of celsius hoodies for the equivalent of 49 euros. he's hoping he will soon be able to expand his business beyond nairobi. and how about year? if you are also doing your best, tell us about is visit our website, go send us a tweet. hash tag doing your best. we share your stories. what a fantastic idea oliver, who they like that it's a small skill example of a technology that has been adopted worldwide in huge solar farms which supply energy to and kyle regents. that is very to increase of course the solar panels

have to be produced. and that requires some toxic materials like lit. and what about the old panels? can they be recycled? how green either solar energy reading or reporter took a look and found out it's emissions free. that's why solar energy is said to be so green. but is that really true? let's have a closer look at the 3 critical issues surrounding solar energy. first, let's look at what impact solar energy has on the climate. i solar panels produce electricity without creating emissions. but producing them uses lots of energy. raw materials have to be mind transported, processed then the whole thing has to be assembled. and as our economy is still largely run on fossil fuel,

all this means greenhouse gas emissions. so the question is, how much and how much is that compared to other sources of energy and evaluation revealed the following results. on average solar energy emits around 40 grams of c o 2 equivalent per kilowatt hour it produces, which is really low compared to fossil fuels like natural gas at 500 grams for coal at a 1000. in future, there might even be completely new solar technologies, like probe, skype modules. these promised to use less energy in production and convert even more sunlight into electricity. that would create a kind of snowball effect. the more solar gets deployed, the cleaner it will become to produce even more. so strictly speaking, solar energy isn't completely emissions free, but it is already one of the climate friendliest energy sources we have mixed up. let's take a look at what actually goes into making all these panels to produce solar cells.

you need quite a few chemical substances like silicon tetra, chloride. for example, if it ends up in the water, it can have devastating effects on the environment and people's health. it can be recycled and then reuse, but it's unclear how many manufacturers do that. we have a lot of hazardous chemicals of concern that are in east in to make solar panels. the coalition developed the solar scorecard that ranks manufacturers by their sustainability that, ah, pretty much ah, the problem, what's solar? so it is green. it's only green in one phase. wanna make sure it's green throughout his life cycle. ah, finally, let's take a look at where all these panels go to die. solar panels last around 30 years. as of now, the waste heap of discarded panels is still relatively low about 250000 metric tons

. but by 2050, it's expected to grow to 78000000 metric tons. that would be more than $200.00 empire state buildings of old solar panels. up. you know, now it's a, we can see that it's going to be a problem that, of course, and in the next 10 years or 15 years is going to be a major crisis. where old panels would pile on to the mountains of the waste. we're already struggling to deal with, but there is a solution, recycling the panels, governments in the european union, for example, made it compulsory for manufacturers to make sure they're used panels get recycled . but still not all of the materials can be used to make new solar panels. and the cost of recycling is relatively high. and that's partially at least because there's not yet that many modules

will remain in europe for the time being, but sweet from the high to low take in france. severe heat waves, ongoing drought are destroying cold and the land used for grazing to feed his

cattle. one farmer has revived an age old tradition used by his grandfather, which as it turns out, is surprisingly effective. 2022 was the hottest summer ever recorded in europe. many regions have little rain for months, rivers, streams, and lakes dried up. even major waterways like the la river and france were reduced to a trickle. french farmers were hid, particularly hard by the drought crops, shriveled on the fields and pastures baked in the sun, leaving cattle with little food to eat. in desperation, farmers turned to a nearly forgotten source of food, the leaves and branches of trees. in the friend us trees there like insurance against drought. we've been here since before my grandfather bought the land in 1939. most of them are planted here since they grow quite well joe, we prefer prefer, through the bungalow. copper saying is

a farming method that has existed in europe for thousands of years. trees are cut back on a regular cycle and the stems and branches are used as cattle feed. for decades, there was plenty of rain and grazing land here, so copying fell into disuse. now recurring drought is reviving the tradition of america. the state call this year, which was dry. i don't know how many we proven. we produce a lot of them on several 100. apparently that the near on ash tree like the one we've just cut back will feed about 6 to 8 cose. he sees you. you are, there were days this summer where we had to call for several trees. sometimes up to 10 on on, approved with the trees are a big money saver for farmer could jumble nut. he estimates it, saved him from having to order 2 truckloads of hey, this year. without the ash trees, he would have spent about $7000.00 euros on hey the la name on

there, kind of here. we print a nash tree to make fodder. we made a bundle out of it, which we're going to dry for fishy. we'll give it to the calves when they're a month. a month and a half old. net tech is on warm. we like the crunchy leaves in the spring law for your, for ca, zebra. so and um, ah, these as trees were planted for carpeting long ago today, cuz jambo linelle is bringing these branches into storage to feed his cattle in the winter. and in times of drought, he's benefiting from the wisdom of generations of farmers who knew that as the saying goes, only a full cow is a happy cow. ah, no we had but to africa. well, we'll also have a long tradition of knowledge the we can use to help in the fight against climate change in zimbabwe. perform a z, as in nancy, ease bringing these ideas to the stage. does right, sandra, it is

a one man show in yell fi investigates the road for this. the knowledge systems and signs play in a fast changing world and in climate change intervention. take a look. i to go mess with ha, all actors ansonia, he gives the suffering earth a voice. he also plays a farmer who leads an oxen to plow across tough soil. oh talk. we'll talk. ok. oh oh. the actor uses comedy and drama to teach children about climate change and environmental protection. the story and act of man is about the life of a rainmaker who's lost his powers. the work was specifically conceived with

children in mind. oh, how can humans survive famines and droughts? to answer that question, the actor also plays the role of a scientist. i thought that it was with tele, plumbing when switch will make a new the so gum that movie the whole walk on monday and well the kids seem to be getting the message, especially the part about humans needing to act quickly. i learned that say, and then never came wendy and i and also house who also enjoy myself. i met pants, ease and tell everybody to and keith, for the teachers. the show is a welcome addition to the lessons in which they emphasize the importance of environmental protection. it is important to incorporate that into our an,

an aspect and doing a performing as performance because they understand it more. so it's out of their formal education in class. the tour started into smaller cities. now since only our fee is performing in the capital herrera, the actor developed the show and just 7 weeks, he's been involved with climate protection for a while now for a 2nd job. as a farmer, he uses climate friendly farming methods on his own land. the additional nodded systems late at all in the past. yes. in that science ease playing a role now, but how best can we make? these 2 is specially containing issues of climate change to keep adult center change. the topic is presented with a touch of humor. but it quickly get serious, and then one b and b of me coming from the doctor for the day that we have improved. i disagree

or just it in your system. and you grab the show's creators, hope that the performance serves as an example to others. what you really like to see is to, to excite other people, particular young actors where they can actually say, i want to do the same play so that it continues being done over and over again by quite a number of people. we are happy that we have talked people that have the know how and we are hoping that by poking them instead of them doing a lot of discussions, there will be more action around issues of climate change. his own contribution is the show. if he's able to acquire financial backing your performance in all of zimbabwe, 11 provinces, there are so many eco friendly solutions and in the cities out there, we hope you enjoyed the show. i'm chris,

the lamps from morgan state nigeria till it again next week. and if you want to find out more, don't forget to check us out on our social media platforms. we'll be back with another new edition of africa next week. it is a good buy for me, sandra to nobody here in cumberland, uganda, a, [000:00:00;00] a ah,

with a rare natural spectacle in an improved world. in the mesh movies in return to the coast of the island of saint

lou. any success stories for bastion of bio diversity in oh, in 75 minutes on d w. hey guys, it's evelyn sharma. welcome to my podcast, love matter. i, i and life celebrities influences and experts to talk about all playing. loved back from day to day. nothing less because all these things and more in the new season of the pot come make sure to tune and wherever you get your path and join the conversation because you know it love matters. ah ah, if you ever have to cover up a murder, the best way is to make it look like an accident. raring to me. you've never read

a book like this. literature list under germany. st. oh no, no. okay. and again, all the harvesters are immigrants, dolock is take everything you enjoy, eating at home with your family, was harvested by people who are being exploited. and then i d 's for free and we're gonna need to. uh huh. can we keep doing what we're doing? and that's why your green revolution is absolutely necessary. europe revealed the future is being determined. now, our documentary theory will show you how people, companies and countries are rethinking everything and making make changes. you have revealed this week on d, w. ah

ah ah ah ah, this is d w. news live from the russian strikes, pound, you cranes, east, and don baths range and but in some parts relief after the retreat d. w, head to a village and the nearly liberty liberated hassan region where people recount their
