in 45 minutes on d, w, we just got some hot tips for your package that romantic code is spots affinities. check on some great cultural memorials to boot w travel regarding the the environmental protection is more than just a boss woods. it encompasses how we can solve resources we use, or carbon footprint, and also how it helps communities twice. today we'll take a look at how it college go. solutions can improve people's lives,

as well as protect the natural wallet. hello, and welcome to a new edition of equal africa. i and son drug the homes that we know of you coming to from comp hello. right? yeah, you got it. hello, sandra, you us? so right. protecting our planet from the many selected faces is how we can make sure it is livable for us and future generations. i am. chris allows joining you from lagos chairs. will this coming up? how people are free to trying to turn the tide on the beautiful but dangerous fish species and why of restaurant? 09. can you set up a prob, patrick? what's the 1st we had to zimbabwe? way access to electricity remain. so traveling for roughly 50 percent of the population. in fact, that's the guy is as low as 30 percent of the areas. this energy poverty is

especially harmful to children's education. one young engineering student came up with a clever idea to help like top the night. and it's a win win solution, even after nightfall. these young people in the rural community of mine who sec with some 70 kilometers south east of them by police capital hold right to not have to put the books away. that's thanks to the solar power line. that's a made from recycled materials. ends in badly, roughly 70 percent of the rural population have no access to electricity. the only lots that used to be is available here. king from kerosene lamps, 25 year old l away. my younger is an electrical engineering graduates. an inventor of what she calls, but she's good phone lantern jan. google roughly translates as a plastic container to him. we had a lot of uh,

sorted out of selected lead the lights that we no longer functioning in the tim. i think it was doing some busy itself electronics. it's cool. so i figured out that i could be able to fix these lights to tell him that a face that tim what the challenge of the kissing. so the best way, and i thought maybe i could just put this delay that 8 feet in the plastic waste portal using discarded plastic puzzles. my younger has now made more than $500.00 lanterns, which he's mainly distributed in rural communities. they not only help young people, this study contributes to a secular economy. a glance in no vision is tackling the problem of plastic waste, which is contributing significantly to clement to climate change. so bad addressing this problem we are using plus to with and see how to using the amount of waste

that is preaching our dump says they did the same time the lunch in the tide. choosing solar power, which is a green source of energy. then babylon generates about 1900000 tons of waste ality. nearly 20 percent of that is plastics. environmental list of welcome to innovation like which in google, atlanta, that address the countries plastic waste crisis. with a huge piles of plastic waste was cities is about which of these are freely to 40, that's the guides recycling, this plastic waste to feed into the tube. the innovation is in a way the which was, would need more support there by addressing the addition as fix and keeping the bottom and clean, but also the, in a guess picking the placements to which sees that 3 main crisis is that we're facing, you know, country to maximize the impacts of his invention and the way my young that is

teaching young people how to build their own nonsense. so the elementary school is visits in today is completely of grades invented. and as i believe in educating these young people, because they have the same sense, yes, they are more knowledgeable on how they're speaking. so the crumbling reflective ways, i think, i'll see which would be more sustainable. the young inventor has also installed a solar system at the school, which allows the students to charge the nonsense during the day. i'm excited about making sure glanton is it. is this an as well how to keep the environment clean? according to the school authorities, the students grades have improved. now that they can keep studying after doc, and this is actually motivated to our children to do this,

started to swell course. be that able to do their home. we could sit too long and also to the studies routing using lights that going to use the light, it's nights and tomorrow morning when they come back to school, they bring the lights with them and it is charged. and then me in the evening when they came home, they call it their lights. so yeah, same time because having a sustainable mindset and then said that when they go out they know what straight into it for the environment westgate to do for the payment for the tenants. and that's what we owe policy. and i'll say it again is climate change on the way my young does a is to bring large jamal communities without access to electricity. in the long run, he hopes to setup a factory to manufacture the affordable, lots and solution on. and i'll just do this weeks, eco hero. not only these workshops on solar pod, she also runs our own small business. everyone calls the soul

a queen. but watch out our susie as it is contagious. oh jim. ok. a default. you isn't easily don't to the 27 year old installs solar system like he's on the housing, shut them in the states and i do. yeah. she's an expert in solar energy. and the only woman on the team, out of faith in, you know what i say it's difficult going through the claimant roof. put santano's on being like it's not the holidays, but the nice thing that i'm nice on. if you love what seemed to be able to know the amounts of this literally patel into her boss and meant to is dumber than that actually known as the solar queen. she found it has selected company back in 2007, when only a few with bits and on renewable energy back then she had to convince

a customers that's a technology, as well as the expertise were reliable. the way i such a because me as always get the question, do you know what you're saying? can i speak with you? my judge? i will show you. you can ask somebody to pick up was choose, oh it is bad because it made me once you actually do more than that actually it was determined to fight these kind of prejudice on a truck to move them in to the sector in 2017, she found that the ash the academy facilitates knowledge of what it was, the man who signed up for the courses we set down to an inquiry made to apply for the training. and this was actually what, what, what about the select queen selection? and the doctor's name is actually sometimes of an older percentage collection with a scholarship for women was the answer. she was able to recruit and use companies and the german development agency sponsors. so the queen scholarship windows

between 19 and 20 to 9 years old. and many have new, previous experience. over the course of 3 months, the participants learn to install and maintain photovoltaic systems. at the end, they receive a certificate. that tickets to new york, we need to close the gap and even the display, we need to close the gap in the technical space. and we need to have a student who met also of approaches in this goals. for example, must see or not being on mary. i any of the company zoom. logitech mostly used to work in sales for the company. and maybe it was a makeup artist quite to leap. it is in mill. do mean need this thing to do was talking about did you know and a was the employees? did you tell this whole means to fill out a new installation that'd be can do well in new 2 days,

you're installing new solar system for utility and all your town the hotels used to be connected to the public. tal great. there's 4. there's no, there's no pos apply. i know if they also run this kind of business, we have 2 of another ways to power supply to the re, i still in a 5 k v, a solar panel system. so far around 250 women have completed the solar queen trina more than 9000 tough taking part in training courses and seminars on. so that technology, we need even more says that we know that the potential for full energy in nature is huge. but the switch to photo voltaic systems is difficult, not only because of money, but also due to a lack of skilled worker. nigeria, we have about 60 percent. of course we don't really, we don't assist in it's and that's just to present the problem, the country. so we didn't want to see the problems kind of solved by one precedent

. and that's why i definitely know that actually he's hoping for more women like to look at the quote. for former students takes, we mean from the so looking program a long to work with it. today, the a clicking the kiosk in the bottom with the minnesota policy stuff for the quote you, it's a routine assignment for her students. it's a milestone guessing solar energy to light up the darkness. now let's say it's come tonight and had to vienna, austria with energy efficiency is the name of the game. well, here it takes a very different shape. vienna is building a new and future prove district. and the 2nd installment of all new series of social media team checks out the high tech ways. the big street plants to save energy the the,

the small buildings talk to each other in vienna is new is districts. communication is key. the buildings are purchasing solar energy and it connected shuttle if one building needs small power, the others can provide the best smoke building is equipped with thousands of senses. so researches can study how buildings can efficiently sham out the buildings consume about 40 percent of global energy. so making them more efficient can make a real difference time now to leave west africa and head to the cost of stuff. half of good shots means of course the, the ability to see in some parts of the world and the illegal global tread is

booming, shrinking shots populations to combat the smuggling. and on type 14 organizations come up with an unconventional prevention method. basic on doing give it the shocks have lived on it for more than 450000000 years. and you had many species i'm now seriously endangered, because every year, more than $70000000.00 of them a quote. asia is the main market for the bins of popular and expensive delicacy. the market as with more than 400000000 years. each species of shock can be identified by its been something the world of protection organization, traffic is making use of and it's fight against coaching in south africa, employee scan in real shocks, and that allows the computer to create the exact 3 d models of them. the 3 d

printer then built to copy and that's when the autistic pause at the top begins shock, since i'm not only different and shame each species has its own typical coloring which makes it unique. all the details are included. the aim of these 3 d printed models is to enable anyone to identify a shock species using them. customs officials can use them and or can you essentially help stop any illegal fins being smuggled through the borders? it's a big gap in the legal shop trade and a lot of these funds will go into the board as undetected. this tool can really help in stopping the needs of the official fin is also a quoted, a q r code, this case, customs officials more information about the particular species, allowing them to respond immediately if they find fins from protected shocks,

rights and marine spaces such as shocks need to be protected and the more people know about them, the better what they look like once they need to survive, and also what they belong. because increasingly, we are seeing spaces for the in places where they don't belong. as the oceans role woman, non native species are moving in tip line face. for example. in recent years, this swamp halfway around the walls and have now reached the mediterranean and creeks. they are causing all sorts of problems on any sort of to some of what do you open? it smells, it's a full, it's a huge problem. they, they don't fish and all the smaller fish, one or throws them flip side a few years ago here near the eastern coast of crete line fish were just the bycatch. now the nets are full of them,

especially in early summer. today's catches and particularly good. but the crew did net plenty of line fish. one is trapped, the spiny fisher venomous. so the fisher has to be careful of this, of the you, this and these here are the venomous spikes in the southern venom is similar to that of the scorpion fish that i accept is more poisonous. you, we look through in the so we have to be pretty careful. assume it said you, this is the closer you get the idea. in unfortunately, the fisher edible people throw as mine. the fish may be lovely to look at, but they're, among the most invasive species. in the world, they arrived here through the suez canal and are thriving in the waters that have grown warmer as a result of climate change. researchers say that encouraging local

fishers to catch them and control their population with help. and blind fish are tasty. but they haven't caught on with consumers yet to the part of the aisles. nicole louse is just a few kilometers away. it's home to one of the few sea food shops that sell lion fish here. shop owner, can you quote, is coco latkes decided to take the plunge 4 years ago today, his employees know how to remove the venomous fines and fillet the fish. but so far, customers haven't quite warmed up to them. i have to promote it because they have people don't know it. and officer, the experts told us that it was ok to eat. we tasted it. if not, then you know and good taste good flavor. and the fishes white inside efforts are underway to grow the market for line fish like this publicity event in the southeast of creek. local chefs, hotel and restaurant owners were invited to sample various dishes made with line

fish the lease. it's a competitive industry which here the participants can share ideas for recipes and learn how to better market the fish trust is important, though, is that the organizers want to raise awareness of the ecological benefits of eating line fish. our main focus is to reduce that, that much of that value increases doing to the cost piece them. so we find out that the we can promote it with different the recipes. so we say, why knows about 900 kilometers north in festa, low nikki, we visit the headquarters of i see an independent environmental organization that promote sustainable fishing. they're also looking for solutions for invasive species like the line fish in a pilot project. they're testing a special trap. the reason why we're using these jobs is because they have a bike guts. so they mostly target, like they have talked to mostly alliances and,

and not the native species. because loan fees are usually attracted by the cold sections when the line fish gathered around the artificial rece, the trump snapshots the trap was patented in the united states. now the 1st fishers have started testing a smaller and lighter version in the mediterranean. i see also works with scientists, marine biologists dalio scott. some of the boxes explains why line fish have become such a plague here. intensive, limited granular, cheaper than stress. com. hi us, many hundreds of other spaces. so especially the eastern mid, that item is now quite invaded by many property contributions from the jeep. there's a new environment with climate change is much more shut the environment, the references when the stores come out was up and, and for the phone decades there were many obstacles for the sections. piece is

a lot i've and that means that i lot of these jobs that's where the short legs gradually the salinity wasn't used to notice salinas the, these are huge on these are very similar to the southern people that's now issues from that i cheap politicians on the knob step was what i to the maybe the 2nd create a batch of fresh line fish. the lays type of just been delivered. it's a specialty here. one of the few places with has line fish on the menu. got it. almost. we all put 2 different dishes with recipes created by all chef ought to become wiser with. i'm sorry, thank lou tama and scroll down. you're going to get along with various hubs. and then after that some of the most popular dishes on our menu, let me try to see whether local or tourist everyone who tries to dishes is one over this visit or from poland had never heard of line fish before.

this is my 1st time and i am very, very impressed, and this, this is so this is the boats have headed back out again. the more the line fish market continues to grow, the better for local fishers and the marine ecosystem. now for another delicacy from the c, edible crops, the global appetite for crowds from kenya is huge. every month, around $10000.00 tons of quotes, they're an exported around the world's. but demand is so big that now prop populations on this right as so all the habitats. so, is there a way to fund them? so tentatively, what pay the visit to a project striving to do just that whenever the tide is low sided, guido is out here hunting for my crowds at the might of creek,

in what time or can leave the county. it has been his daily routine for the past 30 years. he used to catch about 10 crabs a day. but due to of a fishing on a good day, he's glad to find 5. this time he'll have to make do with just 110 inches. most of the american fung and book i saw these low hills are the result of climate change and black ones and he hardly, i hear welcome back and that's where most of the problems lie gone. i'm ready for your help, was the money to dry season is now much longer than it used to be. crabs prefer rainy weather. i buy the do any work? i do wonder why not. then most of side degree is catch ends up in restaurants like the che charlotte, which is renowned for its cry. justin and there has been in charge here since 1999 . over the years he noticed that the crowd sold to his restaurants were declining in both size and number. so he started looking into breeding them. what i

noticed is that a lot of the mangrove areas on the crab areas where they have these drugs, dental growing naturally was depleted. there was no more crap in these areas. and even though you had very big funds for crab, but there was no more crap. a crabs and mangrove sar is share a symbiotic relationship. when disrupted, it can have adverse ecological effects. crowds live and breed in the mangroves well digging the bars that help to erase the settlement. they also feed on mangrove leaves and other organic matter, which means the nutrients get recycled. the crabs are very good in terms of the ecological monitoring. because they tell you we've, among them just complete integrating it, you're not find the cause of them so that i mean, it gets out of the middle of in the bottom in doubt, this,

the dwindling crab stocks just in the near decided to set up a hatchery in 2017, most of the worlds hatcheries are found in asia. and muse hatchery is one of the 1st to be established on the african continent. to make sure the program succeeds, he holds training sessions. edy's history for local farm is. then during the importance of conserving the med crab and about the symbiotic relationship with a mangrove forest, once the program starts, they'll touch his baby crowds instead of fishing in the nearby creeks. justin in years history will sell aquino of eggs to the thomas at about 2 euros $31.00 so mature into crabs. the farm is will release some into the bank with forests and sell some of them to restaurants. you and waste water from the hatch where you can also be used to help regenerate the mangrove forest. i collect mangrove seed. that

washes up on our beach here. put them in this month or that waste water because it is full of, of, of a good stuff for mangroves, but bad stuff for crabs. the mind growth right from the bad stuff from drugs suggested in years hatchery, it says chalet may not singlehandedly solve the issues of as a fishing or mangrove conservation on the canyon coast boss. it says any one step in the right direction. that's all for the addition of equal off we go. i hope you like the she'll join us next week. we'll take a look at more environmental initiatives and the people behind them. i and sandra holmes that we know you said good bye from cumberland, right to in uganda, a vice sandra. i also hope everyone good joins us again next week. in the meantime,

all the best for me, chris, the legs finding out from lagos, nigeria, take care, and caesar. the

billing is on cocaine. everyday building is consume about 4.5 cheetos. that's kind of responses. no one can manage without it. and the lawyers can't just cancel this and police and officials. and if this is seen at all driver services, and while businesses booming folks, not list others of a surprise drug evenings and smuggling in

15 minutes on the w. racing catch up. oh, and taking the competition and meet the global front run a. it's a hot race and the economic transition to e. mobility in the league. where the problem lies and which revision has already become a reality made in 2019 minutes the fast fashion as an environmental nightmare. a closing graveyard image of land desert. this is where things wealthy industrial nations
