in mediating cultures around the world, people learn to classify small handful of animals with edible and all the rest they classify as disgusting. w series about our complex relationship with animals. the great debate, what you know, on youtube dw documentary, the to what can we do to protect a planet on each finite resources? what we're hearing from some is foreign people and best solutions. hello, and welcome to a new edition of equal africa. i m sandra holmes, that nobody coming to from comp hello. right? yes. if you get that and i am chris, hello, joining you from league goes in dates on dropped off future. depends. so dollars

consuming less, reducing a couple and footprint. protecting what we still have. we've got some great stories coming from africa and you rogue. yeah, there's a pick off of what is coming up with find out how v r technology is helping farmers. they've come a roof see how solar tanks installed on groups in egypt. provide the affordable, helpful to atlanta, both of us and they say method of removing micro plastics from water when it comes to problem solving. being prepared, annoying what you might face before it happens can help caught in fonts and come room like so many fonts across the world are suffering the effect of climate change . but some farm is there an 03 to deal with the crisis innovative the

it's not your average teaching age virtual reality technology takes a bit of getting used to but with the help of these headsets, kind of runing cotton farm is a landing have to adopt most sustainable practices, boosting their hobbies, and their incomes fit to deform us, jump in this type of training, plunges farmers into a world where they can practice the message and practicing helps them understand the challenges better and adapt accordingly that dropped in. hello, what did you? so key learned how to, from cotton, from his parents, but now he's willing to try out new approaches and gain new skills. the high tech headset transports into a cotton field for an a must, is learning experience. he can see the crops close up from his desk along with any infant stations and dangerous pests. the training also shows in some creatures a beneficial,

such as spiders that feed on the catholic painters that can destroy his cotton chrome. if i'm going to video from any like way right there in the video, we can see exactly what's happening. plus it's been a great help to us who has been a great help to me. so i'm, i work with a company myra. well, in northern cal, marine is the centers the countries cotton industry is the main cash crop growing in the region. and one 3rd of arable land 2 is used to cotton production. many families depend on it for their livelihoods. of 10 minutes specialized, including how the why g hello keys, wireless for children know it school, his wife and 2 of his neighbors are going to help him with the harvest. hokey is planning to put what he learned on the course about pest control and sustainability into practice next year. when it's time to associates again.

even if it is a, i won't use toxic chemicals because they caused a lot of problems. boscus i did on the buckle is that these are products, kill all insight and say, but if i have some a useful, okay. it also use that to see that goes back to our animals and that bad for the air that we believe that i know so long as you did, i wouldn't use toxic fertilizes either. i'll use organic fertilizer and i stayed clean in on top. see the farm i learned how to make cool comic pesticide spray on the virtual reality course. by mixing names, the powder with water olive oil and a little of washing up liquids. it's not on the back of the environment, the chemical pesticides. it's also a lot cheaper the training sessions are organized by the international clinton advisory committee in finance, by the gym and development agency, the g. i said it must have learning individual environment that replicates real world situations is also cost efficient. it reduces the sort of expenses associated

with stem to training methods, such as traveling fuel. northern cameron obesity is a 3rd of the rain phone. the rest of the country and climate change is exacerbating the irregular rains and drought. yep, i look for the sign. it was what it isn't rain, nothing rose, come on. that's a problem. also it is up. we'll see it even if the crops start to grow without rain and they wouldn't loss them properly. but that's another one of our challenges. i will go see, the farm is learn how to best top is to cotton, to preserve its quality. and avoid does contamination. hokey is also started using cloth sacks rather than plastic, not least because that means less waste. cameron, state court and company. so to control buys the pharmacy, it was so it naturally has an interest in guaranteeing high quality hobbies, long into the future. its management pre selected the pharmacist who took part in

the virtual reality course. don't worry about it. you can have all the right equipment without the prep, the training you want to produce good cotton is on what they've got good seats on apple. they have fertilizer. they have treatment products that took them off. and then this training helps them to improve the techniques and get better costs and look for me to lift degree on the bulk of the 250 farm is have already taken part into that to reality cause a 90 instructors have been trying and up to pass on the new skills is climate change, confidence calm is with new challenges. hello g. hello key and his family. a key to keep up with the times. you've probably heard a lot about micro plastics recently. now these tiny particles are everywhere in the a and water. the i especially dangerous for marine animals because particles cannot

cumulate inside them because they're so tiny that we can't see them. removing them from water is a big challenge. that is right, pres bought it is so important that we do because function of contaminated sea food has also been linked to all sorts of health problems. humans, a mix report is about one month i did to tucker the problem. and you might be surprised about where you inspiration, come from, see how a plastic waist has polluted almost old bodies of water on the planet. it degrades into micro plastics, which a home for the old living things. one clean up method devised by a team in gemini uses. tiny ad bubbles it's invented believes that could help us with the planets of waterborne like crew. plastics. engineer when done on is

developing the process with a team, is experts in the field of environmental technology. it's based on a relatively simple idea. when people blossom cleaning wastewater with micro bubbles as a new ones learned at a lecture in london. that micro plastics are hydrophobic. they don't like water and will adhere to air bubbles in the water. and the flaws in by size, so for a lot of products have some javascript years later dealings. i'm just the idea of mature just i'm, i was watching my vacuum cleaner robot and move throughout my study. when i saw out of a way to crate and adherence technology for the water, there with a ton of must be flowed freely in the water. well, cleaning it out. the new technology generates high concentrations of microscope quickly smo add bubbles in a than a half. so that as many plastic particles as possible, it here to them. after promising experiments in the lab, the 1st purchase height,

but what's in an open body? of course it was cold. that's one. it was success, success for demons team. this is how the technology was fundable to some to meet is below the surface, up to 2000000 bottles are released by lisa. well, was actually repels last night, which is oil based. it's different with app which tends to attracts micro plastic particles. they adhered to the bubbles, and then they pulled up to the surface where they can be collected. a lot of different kinds of i had here in technology can be used wherever or mike or plastic hotspots, a rise or a found it on the we've already been able to remove 98 percent of micro plastic components from water in the days of river in preliminary model tests, not leaving any residue. and we did it without chemicals. just with pure micro level technology, just with their the technology,

it's already being built on the largest scale on land. despite its usefulness, the method is energy intensive and has some unwanted side effects. the levels can also disrupt tiny organisms, such as plank, and carried him off to the surface sauce, removing them from the classic food chain. that's why the innovation is best suited for you swearing. lots of micro plastic accumulates, such as in heavily polluted ribbons before the plastic reaches the oceans. and spreads from the big pieces of plastic west are a huge problem to of course, like plastic bonds, finding alternatives to plastic and reusing material wherever possible is very crucial to protecting the environment on this very creative ways. all this to do that, as you'll see now in this weeks doing,

give it a colorful and durable these length of fabric are destined to become reusable. study shopping by the production plant belongs to a company that also makes paper bags and kitchen and out some $76000.00 of these per day. co founder bevin the key to him by law, once his products to replace gomez you big with this plastic bags? an estimated 5 tons of plastic waste is screwed about the city streets and often cloaks up it sewage and sold them for together. well no. were set up seeing our city of mistake them is the country severely polluted with plastics. and we want to make at least a modest contribution to improving the environment. and i agree to show this is to the young has a company that we produced by degradable products. countries will not move and fabric and cut up and craft paper packages to dc hill,

but few grafts on the bags to buy a degradable and the company. now sells them to arrange a small stores and supermarkets which pay the equipment of $17.00 euro cents a bag amount in reference to wrapped in plastic packaging doesn't ever degrade. and there's an environmental polluted a double one on the radio record model. they've informed us that we should only use bi weekly readable packaging transfer wherever in order to protect the environment the from our has lab fail not controlled by law hopes that his biodegradable bags will inspire others to find alternatives to plastics. his employees enjoy a better standard of living, things that work in the factory, including me as a, by the way my, he doesn't, it doesn't you, this job has helped me a lot music one. 0 god, i used to rent my home. but thanks to my work, i've been able to buy

a plot of land or see even say joe, for to lie mother of st. my life. and it also helps me feed my children to me when you show up and they have a good home where they can start. this job has helped me a lot as in united states. wow, that is great. it is because aspects of what everyday lives. but we really need to, we think like the few well we used for he think you feel fortunate enough indeed. so huh. what, what's it many of us love a nice quote show up above. but that always comes articles. it does rights firstly for the environment because many water heaters use policy feels and financially, especially now as menu of force struggling with rising bills. we had to egypt to find out how the employee and the part of the son mohammed zacky. my blue feet is

looking forward to the solar water heater tank that's being installed on his roof. his family will now have a direct source of hot water. and then method, i've got 200, i think twice when the company approach me. and i told them, yes, they could come and install that heat to after i'm having some sort of, i think it will benefit me under those 2 sided pull attempts it until now his family has used beauty whenever they need to heat water on the kitchen stove, which is often beneficial to have a 2nd at the can you and then the winter, i see the water that 3 or 4 times a day when the summer and school, my mother in law has feed issues. this whenever she washes before prayers. so she needs hot water. okay. so she needs hot water up 5 times a day. it's up to 5. yeah. on the i also heat of water to feed my children every

other day. we have so for me. but the gas stoves are bad for indoor air quality, and the gas cylinders are even cheap as to retiree knows what you see to who is about to go out in the winter. each family needs around one old one and a half. got still in this fish it and in some uh, we can see more around 4 times a month. the guy. what about the new or the home? so this can cost somewhere between 10 and 15 years. mm. hm, yep, i'm thinking that i don't want them getting so the new heater will stay mohammad. the flow for a fair amount of money it's being installed for free. as the heaters are sponsored by sham sienna, a startup that manufacturers affordable solar technologies. it's found are sort of mussa wants to help low income families. and she also recognizes that if they stop using few teams, there will be a significant reduction in c o. 2 emissions. we cut emissions by 5

kilograms every month and the sounds really small on one household. but if we multiply that figure, month after months and by across millions of households, then we have a tangible event on the c o 2 emissions. but experts say that because each of cities are so densely populated, it won't be possible to instill many of the solar water heaters on rooftops, po, extra fee. then. so that was the heat as will not be able to obtain a significant market share in egypt. and you can test us, they can make up no more than 30 percent of the market to. yeah. well the thing is apple, if they can't save a lot of energy, oh, great the would you c o 2 emissions and back of the company. however, the heaters are a viable solution and rural areas. he says, some seen of finance is the subsidized solar water heater, through donations and through sales of businesses and hotels. we use

proceeds from these consumers in order to move funds, solar water heaters for our lower income households. magicians are being hard hit by high gas prices for mohammed saki, mcgrooves family, and many others chum, seen as environmentally friendly solar solution. compet exactly the right time or so much of the well, the suffering, the effects of verizon fuel costs another place that kind of thing. the pol fits abundance on shine is nigeria, meaning greets and now providing cheap and clean solar pot to some rural communities. this box is still flying as ever, but the electricity of jessie, and there's welding machine is no generally please. this is good for the environment, but for the well, the, the benefits for his family are in valuable elbow, but i'm using bible dodge and using solar powered electricity because of how

expensive gas is guys. have a 5 kept on using gas. i wouldn't be able to support my family anymore. my whole family. yeah. well that's why i started using solar powered electricity to get some benefits from it. you've been there for me, for the whole village just now benefiting from it. some of them do the inside the nigeria was connected to a sort of a pile of many great, a year ago. the house of the household and most of the business is a now supplied with p cheap electricity. practically around the top in the local hospital dealt to abl, elijah, and this, and that's the toll can provide much better care for the patients now that they have electric lights. previously they had to work by flashlights during the hours of darkness. when they come to these beats, he is very difficult for us because we don't get lights. we are using thoughts

lights, so you can give him the injection, read out a life you is the difficult or so with that life we, i enjoy. we know that we have the lights. now, what i'm planning, i want to save money so that i will get a fridge. that's how it will be stored in my boxes and for the drugs that needs to fit your temperature more and more many great. so being installed in that area in pod cents to the following costs for solar technology. the system in solving money affected by us company was cool financed by the world bank and the african development bank. there are no 6 systems here in the countries north central state of nestle was able to yeah, from the teen technology help think small. so the top salons,

one of the best ways to supply really africa, which is like tricity without fulfill, feels. so the $600000000.00 comes without is access to electricity. an engineer is the largest. how's the highest rates of this on the look for population across africa address also the largest potential market for many grades and so many piece i g solution in an experiment. at least 10 percent of the on the left side, the population. this has also been great for john, for his business. he provides a cellphone charging service incense, so the cheap electricity, you know, like small profit because he no longer has to pay for fuel for the generate to you guys the, even the charging, the only thing which we do with an increased price. i know it's not months of the president's address before most eastern heather. why is because of this all i would

have as the example of sell them, you know, shoes. people are prepared to switch to environmentally friendly electricity, especially when it's a financially viable option. sometimes the key foxes is getting the message out to the right people. joseph banga is a rachel moneisha right here in complex, but he's best known for his commitment to improving sweet safety, especially for the children. he uses his voice to promote environmental protection and docile. we've body and soul a because the city is getting more and more crowded by 2015, the number of city 3 less is 60 almost people to 1500000000. and the city just to kill us is growing along with that. you get this copy to

a found problem. one mine joseph bianca, is tired of it. the trust the continued city has customer life last year alone. someone 1600. it is, teens died intrinsic accidents. in addition, many who died of gotten sick from the party to a we have very many very close on the road. most of them not in a good condition. they put didn't go to fumes, which are not a good for even the people who are working with living in a city whereby we are kidding people. every day. we need to rethink improvement. design is city that is fearful. they won't hear. so gonna position words that come from as the way he's not reading safely this. so this morning joe woke up as he is known as social media, is joining authorities, income product to promote non motorized transport as a way of reducing emissions. decline as

a pilots and template added cost reasons. so we failed to twice that if we can promote the 90 more to the $40.00 for us, but 60 and then we're starting kind of getting for what people didn't give them. how did the benefits so doesn't anymore? today is the kind of press petition to become good to hold on hostels. compromise will finish loops on site because this is by the 3rd, which is a doctor for more motorized transport into the tool which was about 10 to 9 years later. the pilot freeze on was commissioned in combining it stretches for closer to 2 meters, being assistant enough for the cities, but the nature of more than 3000000. 1 of the things i would love to see in a compaq is read from the influence of the cbd, just the, the busiest zone call free zone. it should be coverage. if you're going to come

into the city, the most you can do is cycle just sec offered. so i just say holding plus to us just cycle into the city that is very safe for everybody. that is still for people who are cycling. it's safe for the people who are within the city. many gardens associates driving with status. banjo wants to change the mindset that to working on site clean is only for the poor. he's reading the message in schools. i have an accidental out to me with that code crushes who have an accident. and so many students good in that somebody's traditions like my kid a university i've know introduced security number ability to replace motorized transfer on campus. i just wish how it would be, how to look if this breaks where in the city imagine, oh, come part of the beautiful come power. not choking component to be having the death . yes. yeah. oh no,

no steroids. the end is always competing for clean systems. as a professional broadcast, he knows how to use the media effectively. other things, each one of us has a good something to do. the way they can do it based is awareness, raise awareness, point other issues that needs to be done and let somebody do the intervention. what are these power and report and from right to income? hello. i feel like going for work now to that brings us to an end of this week's episode of equal us because we hope you feel is planned as well. it is a good buy for me, sandra holmes, the 3 nobody funding goes from comp hello. right? yes, and you're going to see you soon, sandra, and thank you to everyone for watching. don't forget to check us out on our social media and to get in touch. it's good bye for me to chris the legs. illegals by the
