daughter bella in germany and t v and uganda and channels debbie here in nigeria. my name is crystal omes are with me, is my charming co host saga hello from capella? i am sandra, twin over you wonder for to have you with us. and hopefully we're going to inspire you. we bit climate heroes and the innovative ideas to improve the environment and also clean up nature. coming up on the show. we had to somalia, where is he? a drunk is making life difficult for the holidays. we also visit farmers in britain while reduced the amount of newfound cows and mix and go to gun via wary such as of teamed up with local people to collect climate data on the gambia river electron mobility, even starting to take off in africa. many new initiatives are looking for ways to expand the sustainable technology. now in some cities,

among public transport is getting on board. when reason a living in mobility couple solutions and kenya is really taking the long by loans in climate friendly boards to cut the listed on leg victoria with as dusk fools, jared or t n. a heads out on to like victoria since he started using an electric motor, he and his team no longer have to breathe him exhaust for years. and it's not as noisy either. or cheney was one of the few fishermen here who started using an electric motor last year. it's much easier before he was constantly having to change gears or so. you have to be careful with stubborn. so any throw tips it might ought of me get contact with

a manila you this 1st tree or the gear saw removing. you'd have gum cumbersome reviews, one just due to just automatic. 3rd come up with him. he only has the electric motor and batteries on loan from a company called a silver number. every morning he returns the used batteries, and in the evening he receives a freshly charged set, a sober runs out the motors for the equivalent of iran, $38.00 euros a month. the batteries cost 7 years 50 per day. the dutch startup, as silva had to do a lot of math to develop this business model, they saw the batteries and motors from germany. here in kenya, they have technicians who take care of the repairs and maintenance. they also offer a 24 hour service. if there are problems on the water,

the fishermen have to call their rescue number that we can resolve on call. but sometimes when their technical issues are not in a position to be solved during that time, we have to, we have to send out as to what to go, pull them back, or maybe change something, a component of the engine for that matter. the batteries are equipped with gps track is so that the boats can be precisely located in case of emergency in unluckily with every new customer receives a free training session. so it depends on the crappy little in just a few days. they learned the most important things that we, those mccleary will then practice on the water to get used to the email. that was the 1st movie and local joshua rocha has been involved since the start and understands what the fishermen need. the company lou louis lou will need to to do some modification online only. they listed that the inital, nobody cover. laker, alopecia man,

most of them tried to go find the stars a saba is working to improve the situation, but it's made contact with companies in kenya. and uganda that refurbish used batteries. these could be rented out to the fisherman at a cheaper rate in this like i believe, but it will make them more duleigh. so that also we might, we mimic the current operations of our customers. but if, if a customer want to go far, we give them more bodies, then we chide this rich, i'd feed, but, but see lake you want to go far. we give you full batteries, you want to go short distance. we give you one or 2 batteries and you pay for what you are used. i saw both the 1st company in kenya to invest an e, mobility on water. and one of the few in general on the country is e markets. electric mobility still in its infancy here. there are some electric cars and buses and even some e bikes. warren, on don gay rides,

one of them. he's a member of a e. m. d, a, an association that provides a platform for the nearly 20 companies investing in e mobility and kenya. the aim is to organize the lobby, urging politicians to promote electric vehicles. people are excited about immobility and opportunity that he brings. it has tremendous environmental benefits . but unless we have the right incentives to allow for the final price and the value to the customer to be affordable, then immobility might just adobe another illusion that will struggle. that gets towards around $25000.00, both are out on lake victoria every day. and many of them belong to kenyan fishermen who used combustion engines, which pollute the lake and home the fish population. often the fishermen only get small silver cy printed from the lake. and there catch quotas have also declined in

recent years. jared or tina is wife and mother take care of the cat every morning. first drying it and then selling it as quickly as possible. the fish are the main source of income for the family of 12. they also use the money to pay the school fees for their, for children. and they've even managed to build a 2nd boat. jared atlanta wants to equip this one with an electric motor too. he has a plan for his family, get my father one source of fishermen. then now is mere fishing, then one of my children. so out of this one, i'm praying god really that my children know to be fishing was. so they suited of us for another system. basil i now i'm support in education provided additional from there. the if they employ the they can change my our life. jared aquino has

already persuaded some other fishermen to switch to electric motors. but he and a syllable, as still among the pioneers of e mobility, and it will take many more like them to see a benefit to lake victoria and his fish. it is an encouraging start setting, a good example and spreading the wide ease of gret, which is park a positive change for the environment. absolutely. sandra. other have another example of that from england. the toss family knows that cows don't just supply us with meat and milk. they are digestive process, emits lots of the greenhouse gas methane after trying out various ways to reduce those emissions. they've come up with a promise in solution. cows exude a certain com. they're also very intelligent and a key source of food for humanity. john and edward towers have

a special bond with these animals. father and son are dairy farmers in northern england. their only concern is that their cows produce large quantities of me thing . a potent greenhouse gas winton, solve the problems that we've got with an industry, and it's affecting upon and about way. we can't produce milk and people can drink milk. we need to solve these problems as an industry for the industry to carry on because it is not serving the pilot well, which an oven. there is some 1500000000 cows on the planet. they produce a 3rd of the world methane emissions, mainly through their belching. this makes them a climate hazard. so the towers are experimenting with a new type of feed supplement made from garlic and citrus. it influences enzymes in the cow, stomach, and intestine. ah,

the result is astonishing. the kinds of mit left me think the toe is received regular visits from other farmers and agricultural ex, birth like these representatives from a livestock auction house. the towers want their visitors to recommend the new product so that more farmers can reduce their carbon footprint. is about 50 percent of most farms. carbon footprint is that and certainly if animation so it would then knock your and frankly knock our product down by about 15 percent in terms of the overall carbon footprint. this is the climate where we've been feeding. so the galaxy such as that shot is fairly strong smelling m. if you want to have a low where they don't get too close, got ill luck, your socks off button. the mole tentative stick cow's milk, such as soy oat,

and almond. milk have been gaining popularity. in recent years, that's a trend the towers find very concerning. their family has lived in lancashire, for centuries. farmers, he is say the soil, if too poor for most crops, but perfect for cows to graze on protecting the air is something farmer john towers sees as his spare responsibility. ah, me a fail. i'm very fortunate to be working with the younger generation of my family, who are probably more foresighted than i am. and they could see the change coming faster than i could see common. and they've driven our business in that direction to face the challenge and to adapt our market to what our consumer is actually looking for. feeding the garlic supplement to the 400 cal costs the towers about

20000 euro here. tell us that the note will be a part of emissions trading and future, allowing pharmacy to offset the additional costs. he has many more plans for the future. i want to put solar panels on and i want to have electric chances. and i want to let you know have a, have a cobra vill again so that i can capture them a friend and use it for instructors all and things cost money. and if we do them all at once, run out of cash, and i'm, we're a terrible example even more than ideas we're going to work. and so it's a case if i'm sometimes raining in your ambitions or making sure you got partnerships with other companies also have the same kind of values issue. john, how is said many farm is our old school. i'm reluctant to change, but father and son aim to do everything in their power to make other dairy farmers more climate conscious. and they have one good argument in their favor than milk doesn't taste if gornick at all. according

to the european statistical office, the average european generator just shy of 180 killers of packaging waste in 2019 figures varied from each country. of course, as the the rate of recycling in many places a big contributor to the waste heat comes from the food to lever sector. what business is the starting to take a proactive approach to the issue? here is the 6 doing your beats, blah, pizza boxes, beverage cubs, and other takeaway, try spill out of the way. spins in many cities. it's a huge burden on the environment because next to none of it can be recycled. $770.00 tons of such packaging is tossed out every day in germany alone. but some restaurants and startups have started providing customers with reusable

alternatives. with our regular customers love it, they pay us more deposit, get their food ready to serve and bring back the teams the next day. so when i and elsewhere, bullshit, containers like these can be bold for feed ryan app. after you use customers have up to 14 days to return them. the history guardian is the manufacturer guarantees $200.00 cycles. miss munos when they get worn out there, recycled into a new materials. here at a grocery store in cologne, an app releases a bowl from a dispenser which customers can fill up for themselves. only the contents are weighed and paid for. after being returned to a collection point, the containers are picked up and taken to be cleaned. for now, initiatives like these a voluntary but very se to change as of next year, restaurants and cafes in germany will be required to offer their customers reusable

containers for food and beverages. mm hm. and how about you? if you are also doing your bit, tell us about it, visit our website, or send us a tweak hash tag doing your bit. we share your stories. the you in word sooth program says that somalia faces the very real risk of famine in the common months drought conditions in the whole of africa have grown f. a worse over the past 3 years. millions of large stalks of parish in somalia, 30 percent of how suits of last of the a hertz since meet 2021. even haughty, heat resistant. come else a died. not some heard this i had in for somali is biggest city in the hopes off saving them. it is breakfast time at the bed

a camel farm. on the outskirts of the somali capital, mogadishu, one or 2 animals, have found something to chew on, but they are all pretty hungry. all eyes are all the activity at the edge of the enclosure, in the heaps of freshly cut grass leaves, and 3 tis to morsels for the english, but also vital to their health. these nothing to graze on the cindy ground. a sun abdulla man. so beer is the fund manager, a head, his size typically is more room to room, but space here is limited. there are a lot of the regular al your a couple are you face so many challenges when you bring candles to the city of gentle or not? and also has the animals need to be trained to leave on the small area your cobra. so that requires a lot of patience and experience the all the other challenges are finding enough

food for the camels in the city in ensuring the a provided the things they would get from the desert. see the nav who were all high . finally, the gate is opened year in the enclosure that is more than enough for everyone. that wasn't always the case when they had had to scrounge for food out on the open plains just as camels here have done for centuries. a warden king or you will give anybody or when the draught struck the countryside, where camels traditionally leave, there was nothing to graze on and a short fall offering. it forced us to move our animals here to the city, all so legged, no, actually. so malia is one of the country's heat, particularly hard by climate change. persistent drought is slowly destroying the traditional grazing length. the vegetation is dying back, and water holes are drying out even camels, which can survive long stretches on v. really to dying from thirst or hunger. the

despair felt their hussein ibrahim was seen in other hid does, is going by the day their flocks, a shrinking, become not simply cannot find enough to eat in the bush. the end of the launch of the region in eastern somalia learning fact we had us talk a lot about how to get our candles away from here and find new grazing areas because it hasn't rained in so long. drought in every way. if it gets worse and we can't v dot com if we have to abandon them and go to the city to civil children in those cells. many families are moving to the capital to escape the ethics of climate change. while dishes population has doubled, 2400000 people over the last 20 years, it was in that growing market that has son up to a month's abriya because nice didn't put you need to. soft out. okay, well are in the good doctor. i'm not the reason we brought carlos to the cta to

provide fresh milk to the people who live in work at the issue and it's surrounding areas. in the past, people have to go to law areas to get it or not. now we can do leave a freshly milt right here in the board. yes, our move out on the add on, on his new king is done every day in the bed. come, no fun. much to the displeasure of the young calls. but business takes precedence 0 arreola slowly, halligan level dollar. we sell one liter of al cannel, milk for $2.00 in cost. so how do a lot my head also i, we normally produced 900 to 1000 liters of come know, milk every day of school day 9, unclean onboarding, nayoka hay, alicia, norma, if demand is high, we increase our new production to meet the needs of our customers and clean unless are come later said al, am all the other, the fresh milk is immediately loaded up and taken to the city. restaurants in

hotels are important. customers come on milk is very nutritious impact would be to means making popular not just in somalia with business to me. the better camel farm can afford to buy concentrate feeds for the animals. it's an important way of making up for drought related food shortages. being the camels to the city, his turned out to be a good move, but not everyone can afford to do the same. so instead, was st. ibrahim was saying, plans to move on with his camels, in the hope of finding enough food in water elsewhere, or from somalia. elder is coast without hurts to the west coast and the cumbia was wallace country in midland, africa there 2 people are struggling to adapt to climate change. well, drought ease a major problem in many areas. people who leave any rivers may seem fortunate, but increasing me salt water is sipping into fresh water sources,

which of course disrupts the natural ecosystem and even the ability to farm basic crops. now, one initiative is bringing together scientists and the local people to make a very big difference. oh, good. when every change as carefully noted, m u h week cardiac to clarity, and on the scene, not david davis collect environmental data from the aquatic on terrestrial echo systems in 6 locations along the gumby river. right now i'm recording the parameters we have here, which is their temperature humidity, the wind speed, the wind chill, the air pressure, altitude, do point, and the wind direction. the effects of climate change are causing hardship for many who live near the river. for centuries,

they help subsist that on small scale fishing and farming man groups, which will to salt out of the water made that possible. but due to the rise and sea level and extensive droughts, the reverse salt content got so high, it's killed many cheese. that's been disastrous for pharmacy like but to mata barrow ha, car or data. we used to harvest rice here down, but now the oldest lawyer would wend among gross, we're healthy, big nowhere, no problem. so wondering why they are now dead. and our crops are not doing well when they, when they load up on it. not a lot of research has been done on bio diversity, india environments in the gum. yeah. so that makes predict the impact climate change might have on local ecosystems more difficult. that inspired 10 young scientists to launch the gems initiative. jazz is an acronym program,

environmental measurement systems project, and it is a research project whereby we're collecting environmental data along there. began based on the status is now i'm yellow fluctuations happening by the water, which is almost 1200 kilometers long. so the institutes rely on the support of community based groups and locals, like c, d, double a journalist by trade double works as a citizen scientist, 20 kilometers from the capital bank jewel, my role as id citizen and the other collector is to collect data and then send to them every week and also to and some students along with me to also league on know how to collect data. i decide to participate in this program. because if you look at this area, you will see that it's already dead. here in the law river division, the day back is extensive. mangrove stamps thought am otherwise empty landscape live in the coastline exposed. it's no longer possible to maintain fills through

title irrigation from the river. the loss of the mangroves also means a loss of habitat and beating ground for fish and other aquatic life. the fresh water fish have moved further upstream with the help of international and deals and volunteers. and so mana double pops to restore the mongol forest. but with a different, more robust variety thanks for the debt as required, regressing shoot, rianne been able to know the salinity level of, of the water and sec o'leary. i've been able to identify a dispossess of mongrel of re half within our echoes houston. they observed a lot of sort a lag before wendy. i was not very short in tucson is that we're now housed among those are sort of torah label the absolve, lot or so that has made a decrease in salinity level written the woman racy

futrell. matt barrow who has been gwin rice here for 20 years. hawks, the newly planted red mongrels will give her crops a fighting chance. y'all. well, we thank god, what a new man gross along the river asked a grow less salt. we'll get through gardening, elaine, and while wounded since august 2021 more than 850000 mongers having planted in the gum down river delta. in order to concept ecosystem. the symbiosis of scientific knowledge and local engagement as barren fruits, quality water is indispensable, and is sasha to life as other people who work hard to protect it. that is all for this edition of equal africa, it is time for me to be do farewell from complex. i and sandra tween odeo and i will definitely be seeing you again next week. and i was just like to remind you that vase and other additions of a cou africa can be viewed online, drop us a line,
