8:30 am
these places in europe slashing the rank one step into a bold adventure the treasure map for martin clo. describe it as some of us wriggled, bragging sides on youtube, and also the welcome to eco offer god the pan african environment. to show fact with great stories, background information and good ideas on nature and environmental issues from africa and you rope. i have chris alarms coming to you from lagos, nigeria, with me is my charming co host sandra. go, who's a in uganda. hello, sandra. hi,
8:31 am
grace and i, i'm really looking forward to today's show and especially to a very fast segment on the part of women in ivory coast. i am sandra co homes, the 3 nobody writes yet incompetent. you've gone to on here. some of the other topics that we'll be looking at on the program. each of those are changing so much lives in front of the french capital keeps. it's cool. despite the rising temperatures on from gone, the house started to conquer its mountains of west. how much do you think a group of women is capable of achieving you may be amazed at to see what communities in northern ivory coast are accomplishing through quarterly to auction full of the environment onto beyond. now we've pete's you. curiosity,
8:32 am
here comes the women of non cool, cool me now. a quick check to ensure they have enough provisions. then these members of a women's cooperative set off on a 15th to the to johnny. bit to rain in the spots of ivory quotes can be quite rough, especially during reading seasons. but even swollen, 3 of us can stop the women upon arrivals. they collect nuts from sheer trees, which build time into she about to it is used in cooking and cosmetics and salt off top on the walls market. but the women sign scenes of devastation to, even though this is a protected forest from us, of cut down fees to plot fields, or strip them to sell the book. in traditional medicine, she, a buck is used to trick malaria and stomach. it's what we thought about the trees via alton di. many of these women, one slow t bucks too, but not see,
8:33 am
and that's provide them with the more environmentally friendly pulse of income for kids. so we had an uncle since we joined the cooperative, we've completely stopped cutting far. and we used to cut a lot of these. sometimes we even heard ourselves while removing a board and without their bar, patrice done, or cute. so now we do everything we can to protect the trees. ringback for kids in 2021 a sent that to process she and that's a set top in the village of wondering my do a lot. so some 200 women walk here in a cooperative called non costs will mean. well, we stick together the co operative us truck, a purchase agreement to the gun, a best company, but the aims to empower women in this region. as it is obviously, isn't the women got the invite as many lots as they come later and cook them to next year. but to
8:34 am
the corporate, the buzz being organic, certified it's processing facility costs around $60000.00 euros. most of which came from the international donors, including the e. u. last t, as in tab production has been almost completely sold. see if i'm to him, all the women in the village are pleased. i think before we will always travelling the right to the boat. we'd like barea to sell tree bach and we had to leave our husbands and children behind on mine. i will. now we can stay in the village with our families. i meant we'd have to look and are in money on the so we're happy on f, one on the popular from savannah fruits company as a regional office to handle the corporate team she about to international sales and going well thanks to the she a bought as a gunning certification, centralizing production on one side was key to the process. and i've been shooting them on the fun. the women used to bring their shame bounce back from the bush and
8:35 am
store them in a corner in their houses. it was usually the place where they stored chemical fertilizers for their fields or were children would play or for the women also process the notes at home or see amazing, but the quality suffered to that there was too much contamination when they tried to do it all at home, and it was simple for the company national guys who came to south to sign i'm using, besides the high international demand for organic. she a bought a t a in the regional center of the cutoff. there is to a brisk tread into the buck and roots using traditional magazine. at least 2 big truckloads leave here each week. bone for ivory costs, financial copy told me not to what tara used to sell to bucky and was often away from her funding for the long periods of time. now that she's a member of the women's cooperative that's no longer necessary. she can also afford to buy better food for her family and invest in fish lab. yeah. and you know i,
8:36 am
we come here every wednesday when it's market day. i think the color. yeah. before we never had enough money out of me. but now it's best to pass on if i was able to buy 2 crates of fish, i think that i can re sell in the village a lot of go on last week. i, you're not a probably not that as you're in the project, we receive 10000 francs and i use them to buy vegetables. i'm a i got was the last little. i know that the extra food is a welcome contribution not to over time as us, but the lead gross human caution that's he's or the wife also walk seem to call productive on since both women now and more money that lives respect has gone for a month i've gotten given by my wife helped me by a sheep for debowski, as thanks to the sacrifice. oh yes, it will. and they contributed to the purchase of some cattle. gotta do what i do. my wife's, i've also really helped me to pay the school fees. so i recognized the value of the co op and of the final that women are gaining influence in other areas.
8:37 am
they often come across fields of fields and culture, not see legally planted by local men in the collecting zones. now the supervisor, n g o, as i look at them uh, the square kilometer area which is off limits to anyone, but the corporate to the frontier guy lives in the women who own the living gathering shayna it's in this area, won't allow their husbands or any other people to come in here, i'm trying to chrome just to say, do web posting, if they've got to me to, i'll plan is to certify the largest possible area as a bio diversity zone. nothing's only business is love that will help us to more effectively protect this land and enable it's restoration to pull up and my provider. so what i will call you to the shade trees, bring us respect, and in return we protect them. now the villages, respect us and value our work, it's walk that not only protects the forest, but also helps women and their families. proof that environmental protection can
8:38 am
benefit everyone. staying on the topic of agriculture, we know head over to run to some they goals, make walk a lot easier, but the engines are often mailed out, pollute, the with exhaust fuse. so is don't really progress a good cause to ascend dropped was as it's done. so the only option available to many look into 3 d oxy and full truck to use a diesel powered vehicle. but now there are more environmentally friendly alternatives in africa as this project in run that shows it's just a normal working day for members of the do core and cooperative nicky galley. the village is still the a fields by hand. the many help is a busy for weeks to, to have the shock cultivating a large area like this using just toes is difficult. we do it because there's no
8:39 am
other options. if we had a cultivation machine quantum, we could produce more with less effort to 0. few tractors around, but also the older vehicles that we no longer wanted. they tend to be noisy and the diesel is also not always available. and rise in fuel costs means that the often economically on viable from the outside. the solution looks remarkably similar to a 2.2 contractor with a 27 postcard engine. but the motor is electrically pilot. a gentleman call me cuz village this e tractor prototype along with the universe of to galley and the g. i said german development agency. it's a convert that dive of tractor and to and electric truck until you see we just replace the bible engine with an electric motor and put the battery on top of that . and that you'll see the sloping desk. you'll see the 2nd battery on this desk.
8:40 am
then when you come in here, you can move forward them back down then with that you can release the battery. and so look back and put the full battery on the track to itself and can then resume working. the batteries are charged using solar energy. solar electricity isn't just clean. it can also be used of great. only huffman for one day is actually connected to the print burnett. my ends between and his team will be the best deal for one day, a working on making the batteries more robust so that the track to consume go to work on the dusty, some the fields or on the need eat that fall under control, make any addition to be user friendly because of, for a using the, in the police are further the 8 to maximize the productivity. agricultural product is d is the one that has to increase its every cultural productivity to help feed.
8:41 am
it's rapidly growing population long periods of drug linked to climate change or increasing the pressure to make finding more effective and sustainable. the fact that the track to is intended for use and more remote areas is a particular challenge for the developers in the team of v w engineer who the land . the main point is to make an electronic contract or as simple and easy as possible because it should be easy to operate. and the other thing is this. when it is simple, it's easy to maintain and to retail, to make the check to suitable for working for london fields. the prototype has to be further improved and is so the team of developers traveled through the country speaking to potential future uses wherever we want to import how that's
8:42 am
successful, the bid design and what 3 to be the task of that's the next task. and we also want to take into account some activities that can be done by that's correct. and plowing isn't the only job to track that should be able to tackle here. remember when to productivity of funding areas can only be increased if other foaming jobs can be automated as well. the develop as a test, whether it can be harnessed to help everything the prompts. then we have testing the problem being well putting it on an electric truck stuff. so you can use it for code division using your, your plow that could be a display. then you can also hook up the planter to roll for planned types can food, then you can use it for planting and then other tasks. then we can use the truck that is for spring, that is your crop protection for pick. and this is
8:43 am
a task that have been counted out, mine would be up to now many farmers cannot imagine that the tractor is going to be ready any time soon. but they do realize what a difference it might be sure, i don't know if there really is such a tractor and it's available to us. it will be seen as a liberator for farmers because we won't have to work so hard to get our work done . the chapter is going to be ruled out in 2024. the idea is that this will be purchased back into the village rather than an individual found that managed by cooperative. the vehicle will make a lot of task easier. so don't forget to bring with over 20000 inhabitants space quick color, which is part of these is one of the most densely populated cities in europe. dr. probably feels nice and close. the in cold above, but as temperatures climbed as a result of climate change. the c d c t it up. so how of provisions trying to keep
8:44 am
the cool eco reporter to a tool the tell to find out paris the city of love has long been tories stream the budget despite is out of ramon's on hot summer days. it can be hard to believe concrete roads and buildings turn the fence capital into an urban heat island. paris is warmed up by 2.3 degrees celsius, on average since 1885 compared to 1.7 degrees in the rest of france, according to recent studies. and so the town hall is now investing tens of millions of yours to help cool down the city. what's your date? exactly? so this is a month of paris. tell me, i didn't want to say specifically about this city. when it's, you know, it's easy to explain more is still a peer just this is a historic city built for
8:45 am
a moderate climate. and one of the most densely build cities in the world. and that's why it's like an oven. fine, more so than places spread out over a large area is it that you can now send my time here is already open for swimmingly. today, after next year's olympic games, we plan to open 3 bathing areas on this and river wanted one plan is to replace concrete with earth that can soak up rain watering, cool down the air, will also insulate public buildings. you know, it pulls on the end of us, you want to know, but you know, if you mutual, i mean simple, many square have already gone green like the plaster on us you or this round about in the south of paris, which is being transformed into an urban forest, since trees are also key to coding down to city. and there is a sense with not only become an open s swimming pool, it's already making a cooling contribution. this eco friendly cooling system is quotes pressure to
8:46 am
putting a network of underground water pipes that is connected to water tube systems in over 700 buildings across the city. we pay a visit to one of its main ponds. this on high canada, these films push ice cases history, the system which was closed by refrigeration units, which he talked in, the price of thought he says dissipated into the sam. it's also slice to a secondary 2nd. the system can seem to off as much electricity as a conventional conditioning unit. what's more, not electricity comes entirely from renewable energy, mainly from solar panels. today, the network has 90 kilometers of pipe and the company plans to triple that over the next 2 decades. pressure on the 20 is already helping to cool places like the new museum and power is townhomes. but air conditioning systems that use river water cons be endlessly extended,
8:47 am
says morgan called on this a french expert on oven time. instead of taishan. they didn't need your system systems like the fresher perry boom up the river volta and that certainly sites up to a certain threshold to protect like who bio diversity or anything. uh that comes with it watching the cold. yeah. so the systems cold down an entire such a piece on cell phones and we have to choose the building. so cool with them before and then you say like you mentioned that you sound back to me in the future. pressure to tell you will also be linked to schools, some of them already enjoying the benefits of green, a streets and pedestrians science and across the city. cars increasingly sharing the streets with bicycles. you can ready. so i to almost all the power is on large like highways, like this one, and the city will add another 50 fonts. can all mentors of bike full was over the
8:48 am
next 3 years. but not everybody is happy with the bicycle boom, which is leading to more traffic jams in busy areas. that's why plan is need to take the needs of critics and local communities seriously. dyslexic, we need to make sure all times are accepted, involve local people in explaining the initiative, and the time is often focused on the technological side of climate taught optation . but the human factor is also important. that's what it sounds like. new jersey wizard, we will do all of the plans are less controversial, like this new installation that provides change when the sun is high to people in a low income neighborhood and then most of paris, so that don't feel that you'll do a degree. you'll receive all, you know, you'll have someone that can be up to 10 degrees cooler under the roof and we've installed a new spray found. and over there, you just need to push this button and it sprays water for about 20 seconds. what was the, did you feel the water, right? 0 balance. that is supposed to be dropped. bodies don't been getting. basically we
8:49 am
were installing 24 roofs like this and 73 spray fountains across paris. they'll help us get through the summer on top of our existing heat measure. is it going up in our heat plan, includes regular checking in on vulnerable people and offering spaces, such as on town halls where they can cool christian measures like these will become even more important in the future. if some us in paris continue to heat up, i must say i quite like the idea of harris cooling down even further with more shades, more spray fountains and small by cranes. that way the city would suddenly face enjoyable, even with temperatures continuing to go off by any places here in africa trying to make cities, communities of whole countries fits full climate change forward spots gone. those struggling with garbage which is known to pollute the soil,
8:50 am
to an air caused less than damage to the environment. and people only 10 percent of gunners, west east collected and on the goals. so form of treatment to find a comprehensive solution to address these challenges. hybrid west energy plant has been built. the country has great hopes for these pilots project. this waste salting facility is still something of a novelty in governance. but the plants here does even more. some waste is used to produce electricity and complex facilities like this come out to be able to help us and be able to able to collect uh weighs and make good use of the widths in a way you realize that one of them has to do with drop creations, so people and people in the community will not be engaged in the collection of the ways which will actually be sent to the community to actually be utilize the
8:51 am
facilities. subbing a crucial purpose gun. as waste problem is huge. $14000.00 tons of garbage generated every day and only 10 percent of that is collected. it's a problem that's result in greenhouse gas emissions. the spread of the seas and even contributes to flooding. and in fact, waste is a valuable resource. once it's processed. someone and rhetoric is a salma. he and his son now use compost, made a forgotten request on the me field. a little bit of water by me using come before i started using the most of my crops. but my yield was very low, so yeah, i know, but assuming your significant body of the office did a lot of mays this year of last year i had about 10 bags, but this year's increase to 20 bucks. yeah. yeah. so the accomplice has been helpful for me, the money content intent intent. the compost is made in the hybrid waste energy
8:52 am
plants near the city of kumasi, where waste is also used to produce electricity from bio gas. the solar power plants produces 400 kilowatt enough to supply 500 household. the 1st of its kind in gun that it costs 5800000 euros and was mostly funded by the german government. the plant was also developed with the help of government know how there's no shortage of waste that's can be used. it's brought in from the town of again cova. so in a day because i spent phones and, and at the end of the day, we expect that to update it. but if you think you repeat this of gas, plants doesn't handled metal, but plastic waste gets shredded and sent elsewhere for. so i think the organic waste is used to produce bio gus the helpful but to you in this react to in the yellow building behind it by august is converted into electricity,
8:53 am
but generate to of the plants. we eventually employed a team of 50 people. for now 20 people walk here, including local ex, puts in waste, which meant to getting further training in bio gust technology from the german putnam. for the time being, the energy produced here isn't being fed into the mass. you read the amount of power produced by the plant isn't to yet enough for the national transmission system come in. well, yeah. okay, that's good enough to production of energy from the bargain aspects, to have more of the energy produced from the bank us aspects as compared to the solar that we have currently on the site so that we can be quite effective date grades because it's a waste of energy projects. so the fact that we have with that is from the broadcast aspect that is being converted to a meeting. and so this office office is what i'm looking for. that's we have more energy that we could use in the coming months. food. that's
8:54 am
a come pick one that sets of the grid until this happens, the electricity produced is used in the waste energy plant itself. and the plant makes via compose from organic waste in a closely monitored process, that's takes that b, i say, by 2 weeks into which we have to sample to do an analysis on him to see the nutrients build up in the accomplice. and also when they accomplish this finally formed, we do our analysis to ensure that's order micro macro nutrients are present heavy minutes. also apps and titles and so find out i've seen the why a come 1st has helps to make solomon edwards from well april for the adult. the need for chemicals for tonight is, is and he even saves money as, as a we're not cause enough. it's, you know, this organic compos, i have to spend a lot of money to buy other types of fertilizers, and that's very expensive if i $3.00 and do the one about the cost of the
8:55 am
equivalent of the 30 euro. so using the organic compost has helped reduce my cost of production. most nadia of little purple waste to energy plants near kumasi the pilots project. if all goes well again and government plans to finance 10 more across the country. good to see that the a growing efforts here in africa to enhance the resilience of human and environmental systems to climate change and increase and such and t, i am sandra, go, who's the 3 know you signing of from complex, right to uganda by sun dried it was a pleasure to hosting the show. us always review and thanks to you up you as you also enjoy the program or have ideas or good initiatives. vive tools on social media. we love hearing from you. i'm chris 11. say 5 live from nigeria.
