shop now, am i ready to dive into the hands of the gentleman who to us would you want me to just have you have a window? it's about the quote of vintage cars. from course he unions to i'm gonna keep puzzles, but even the locals gets scratched, scratched up that crash. they have called fast response and on expected size of life and know i sent the hello everybody and welcome to a new edition of a co operate car. the environment show brought to you by a tv and uganda jim, this dw and charles tv brought ca, nigeria, i'm crystal lens, and here's my co host son drive in uganda. hi grease. hello. everybody is good to

have you back with gold. some exciting reports about environmental protection and sustainability coming up, kit is a quick look at some of the topics that will be exploring today. what met this someone in the good incentive goals such a unique bias of why the number of cobble a bikes on the strength of germany is set to grow and how a phone go. we point should 5. even the cyclone in king pulse for full takes us through africa's west coast funding to save that every year gotten a generates a sad green $1100000.00 tons of plastic waste, but only 5 percent of that is collected and recycled. that's a pretty shocking fee go. well, there is hope, a number of grassroots organizations coming together to see how they can make a difference or let's take

a look. beach clean up is going to be back breaking work similarly and listened future. well, this is a mission with a difference. these volunteers on prime from beach east of gun is capital across and not just collecting old waste. this group called plastic punch have a plan this salting, measuring and cancelling all the items as a weapon to find back against the scourge. richmond kennedy kwaku organizes these cleanups, helping with volunteers from nearby communities. so when willing to come around community members speak to shoes if you have any issues. if applicant plastics are clearly plastics. if we are picking up to pace, you quickly to face this, we are able to separate the recycled bullets from the non reset. so that was because we want to the most states in the community that they can be some value from these things. we're not done. finding them, you know what that weighs,

what it weighs, such as a cross call. a lagoon had been turned into aquatic waste dumps with only a tiny fraction of the city's trash being properly collected and recycled. besides, poisoning the land, the deputies flushed into the ocean, breaking down into micro plastics, getting into the food chain and destroying the classic echo systems. and it's from places like corner like drilling that a big deal of the trash washes down to problem from beach. red plastic punches working as they see the data collection a form of citizen scions. as a way out of the mess we. uh, when does between us hello not not the solution for the plastic pollution minutes because this i funding this high side, they'll be more trust coming in higher buy stuff. that's a very would actually be to pull it to relevance. visa then once we have posted, created onto date is to understand what the police on what this polluted and also

which brian this, which company itself. what do you think by collecting these weights that we are able to understand by analyzing what this office of this $0.40 would be? where are we on the cell where the surface would be? and that is where we have an attack called direct. how wow, when this axis and also solution finding f $100.00 the dates that cruise team can begin the crucial next phase, helping the local authorities to understand the ways flows and to figure out how to stop it ending up in the ocean. so with that data, we are able to tell where the waste is coming from and the type of ways that is coming into the show and then the ones that i really say a couple. and then the ones that i normally say couple. so this informed as, as the assembly, how to plan for the management of the waste issue. the citizen science is also a key part of a much bigger puzzle. ocean conservation is one of the united nations,

17 sustainable development goals. but efforts a come back moraine plastic pollution had been held back by lack of reliable data from from beach and gun. as a microcosm of world wide problem, it's been estimated that we have dumped up to 200000000 tons of trash into the sea . most of its indestructible plastic, as some estimates, say, the rate of increase the triple in the coming decades. the u. n. environment program says the only solution is to fundamentally change how we use plastic. i think so groups like plastic bunch done. i became the 1st country to monitor a plastic devry density, according to us guidelines. the data loaded onto a un platform containing the world's largest citizen science dataset unmarried let's a officials of governance, the technical service study effort. this very useful that when you came in to the

beach, they also compiling data that would let policy make us appreciate the value of the activity one. to also appreciate what we are doing to ourselves in terms of nick for him to be just to the extent that one it doesn't encourage tarzan to it affects a particular life. being able to present for steam beaches is of course also find sold. they've gone to a $1000000000.00, tory sector and been well full citizens. scientists like richmond kennedy, quite group the hardware because only just begun once to see that data turns into meaningful change. no, no, we understand the problem to solve it. so we need to. so you were saying, so we need political will we need investments, it's a waste management system, it's what they need to package and we need and also how when this we are listening to the science, we are listening to the hosting and what the results i given us,

when we make sense, and we need to talk to now and fast of the citizens sciences of clean the stretches from from beach and the trash date. so it has been long. their hope is that if we overly understand what happens to the plastic, we use a discount that we can truly begin to free the oceans of our trash again. well, it seems pretty clear that shifting to clean the fuel is key to top clean pollution . what, how easy, easy to make the seats? one label who in london, i've demonstrated that a solely dose of community series. really health. that is right trees. no local residents proved that we've vision on determination. it is possible to move away from traditional energy sources. and in a way that benefits a lot of households wants the new solar panels. the printer is yeah,

i'm assuming the street will be producing its very own power residents in east london. lin. much road spends more than 2 years working for this moment and convincing the neighbors to get on board to day. that dream is becoming reality. the pressure of saying something's going to happen and having that power station post is up in windows. so this 1st moment of seeing it come to reality is, is kind of a relief, it's joyful. we wanted the whole street to basically get the solar panels that was go. we soon realized that wasn't going to happen. like it's going to be really difficult actually to, to even persuade any one of us to henry pollen done. 8 olsteen came up with the idea originally they'd hope to get the entire street linked into a grid. but some of the roofs are suited to solar panels. and some neighbors haven't yet wound up to the idea. 25 households on limits road are on board. however, i think across britain there are millions and millions of people who want to solve

and put money into the climate crisis. you can offer at the direct action solution for it, which is what we've kind of created here. then it kinda floats quite well with the general public. given me economic crisis in the country, not everyone could afford to sign up. that's why the 2 artists launched a fundraising campaign that raised over a 100000 pounds. ready and spent several weeks during the winter living on their roof and found it as a crowd fund wanted to make the streets as the low cost of a story. but it also is a kind of experiment, prototype test pilot thing that could help other streets kind of move quickly to act. and that's taken lots of, you know, ideas and failed attempts to find the model that would work. the activists say that government should support invitations, ecological projects. mike says to help tackle the climate crisis,

we need lots of parts of money which make it really upset the easy for people to get much funding or took it properly subsidized to, to ton that buildings the houses or the businesses into power stations. anyone in the home is that the hillary power and then it'll staying off filming the installation of the solar panels. the 1st step on the pump to us. so low road, the neva engine hoops the solar panels will help slusher energy bills. the dependents under roof. it's going to be much better for the panels if we can, if they keep going. and the chief and i'm one is people say to something, you know, it's on the started, they were, it is really on the stocks and of course, cheaper bills. so now the soon, the power time miss aust,

stella rarity has that partner a major british energy company says that pioneer is here in the okay, we've got pretty much like one of my site dated good systems. so it's really reliant on fossil fuels. so it pink time, so let's say 6 o'clock when people come home and they want to put that in is there's about a few 100 different generate to is that are required by the great, the toilet that demand. what that does is it creates a horrible kind of pollution. and of course it's really expensive on sunny days. and so the pioneers couldn't even produce it, plus energy that can be fed into the grades, instead of sorry for that fossil fuel network, which i'm getting, is decentralizing that great. and instead having 5 thousands of different renewable energy assets that themselves control the grade. and create that flexibility,

levy from now on meals like this will be caulked with power that comes straight from the roof. so when the rest of the street see the 1st 1020 houses getting the solar panels and i see that you know that it's, it's a viable idea and that it's not. hi brian, that just a couple of off his coming up with a totally pine. this guy did, hopefully, more people want to do it and then we're also hoping that we can save money overall by doing both buying and stuff like that. so the other streets can also get involved. hillary pals and down 8 of the home, this will be just the beginning. that dream is how much of the people everywhere in the city watts on is perry initiative for a next revolt. we have thing in your box heading over to germany, where online shopping is a blooming market. that means a lot of delivery traffic bots in munich, more and more parcels,

and now being delivered by a bike. this is why the city has set up a logistics hub because a bikes on this week's doing a beat. we find out how it is going. the electric to go bike can transport as much as a small truck. then not only is flexible and emission free means of transport. there often actually 1st and then the delivery trucks. that's low got many streets in downtown munich, put them in certain ones, the guns see they've given the amount of commercial traffic. and the fact that we see a lot of potential in a switch to sustainable electric cargo bikes. but we're making this a key factor in our overall mobility strategy. instead of 5 companies of warehouses in the call gigabytes, it just takes hubs. they transport deliveries to private individuals and businesses

. one of the companies into cat provides last mode delivery. it says the concrete bikes with, well, how much is that is the subsystem minute we have so the stops that's manageable. it's all the fault drive as a paid by the hour. it's not like other large delivery companies when they're a 120 parcels, and it's almost impossible to get it all done in a day in our country is kind of actually enjoyed the journey. like on $500.00 on total fitness replacing trucks with huge cargo bikes has major environmental benefit. initial estimates suggest to find delivery companies alone could save 6 tons of c o 2 per year. and this is just the 1st step of an initiative that goes beyond manic cost at the cities have similar projects. we're all still figuring it out. i think it's important that we share our experience and learn the right lessons from it. so we're in discussion with other cities. we'll also work together

to consolidate our projects. i look for on car box to us. we can know and very different topic until all too often chemicals i used to get the range of diseases and improve views, bought these kind of bodily damage to the environment. the alternatives on the age of kenya's, only surviving tropical rainforest, a fungal we phone, a guest we is being developed in us type of the laboratory. take a look at these flowers girl, well, in kenya too. well, in fact, strike go purple, which we might be pretty, but it's devastating to crops. it flourishes in dry soil and poses a serious threat to harvests. as agronomist adults can boil, explain if the policy takes when and it's kind of caused some damage to a plan to pass in. in the fall. as you can see, these move,

it is tented by the time you have seen, i've tried to imagine the destruction you've already done because the say the cds on the ground on the parasitic plot attaches itself to the roots of crops and then extracts nutrients from them at their expense, they start to wield while the weed flourishes. margaret keesa knows the problem all too well, which we regularly decimate her mace and milledgeville for y'all's high ongoing measure. we've been struggling with the problem of which we'd for many years, we ton crops, but the yield was a no good school follow. well, we tried to stop it spreading by sweeping. i'm dead break and the animal waste woman and distributing it in the field. but it doesn't make any difference. we're go, go myself and seize and i've gone through the whole length of one. i will do a photo that from that i only harvested one bag of ways that can in the but that

doesn't even leave enough for me to read the monday. would you, michael now, but to us and kenyon scientists have identified a fungus that kills the parasite. it's highly effective, even in tiny amounts, such as might fit on a tooth pick. this discovery lead to the toothpick of project dorcas kimball. you manage the projects, toothpick company, for a team of scientists produce the fungus that kills the strike a plot. i don't see within the research on the bile control, so started going into say, i'm looks as far as this phone goes as isolated from my wilton's trego lead and h was growing to make the mound control. so initial non is contrary to what we do in this knob is multiply the fung us as much as we can. so that is can quantity if i to a must that's can solve the form of integrate capacities for the last 5 years. ken boy has traveled to villages in western kenya to introduce farmers to the product.

it costs about 30 year rose to treat a one acre field. until now farmers have been up rooting the destructive plot to prevent its seats from spreading further. because once they're in the soil, they stay there for years. chemical pesticides haven't proved effective and farmers are left with field harvests. that's why the toothpick project is supported by a number of n g o's focused on food security. daddy's brittany effect of climate change. the i've is one me before it was a warming, and we a seems dried, got also moving event to some width as owns and to also some for the region if that these experienced in the high production, 80 ascending means the food in security also is except it becomes much more kenya, isn't the only country with a strike. a problem. according to the un, 14 african nations are infested with the weed. this makes the project all the more

important is successful. it could be introduced in other countries to. so dorcas can, boy, is working with 80 farms to help produce more fund going up to them. they can show it to that's can be produced. the ad i'll know better, probably is not enough to solve from mazda elk grove. this event, counties, we all find anything in. so that is the reason why we were in gauging village, you know, clump produced stuff and they really never opened had class pretty put the final product. production itself is relatively straightforward. the phone goes just needs to grow. 20 key, those of rice are cooked, and a small amount of fungus is added. then left for $3.00 to $5.00 days to incubate the resulting 40 kilos. a fungus enriched rice are enough for one, a couple of crop land. the researches found at that farm as needed to treat the fields for 2 years. that's full crops, owings that was enough to banish the strike. and restore crop yields for small hold

is especially, it's a relatively easy remedy that the farmers can apply for themselves. and we end the program, well, we begun the west coast of africa and we to migratory body folk to send a go and moving tanya onto the m is where they clicked on l. for 6. it will visited the lagoon they simona and set a goal, an area of natural beauty, a new birth conservation area, to see what the protection meshes i've achieved so far. the macro forest of the simone nature reserve are a habit touch for foster rate of species. the lagoons mix of fresh and salt water creates a branch environment and a rich ecosystem that's helped to herron's homer and ad. but it's a freight it's a natural paradise. but low fishermen on

not to have negative effect in the leg into that. but if we're not allowed to fish in the lagoon, then we don't really have any of the options available. coming in, some fishermen have decided to go out to sea and stay as i thought. i think i'm bothering it and the good because then i think i didn't want to do a lot of times they kept something, but there is no in yes, any fish or as in the nature religion. thank you. so it's hard for us now. plus i go like an be more up again, he brought him 5 lives in one of the 3 villages on the edge of the nature, reserve it during october and november, then not to allow to officiate. so the face on and the lagoon kind of recover. so cold eco got make sure the rules are obeyed. they also ensure they are enough arresting faces for the areas main bird species such as purchase. but last spring,

a major problem is that more and more people have settled around the luxury that they play the probably 2 lagoon used to have a lot of manual for us. so what rank of wood isn't huge amount. it's often thought of as probably what it was, but the people here mainly use it as a full construction of what because they know it's much more too much, was this and then any other woods. so there is a lot of do far as a long road is typical piece of data made. so that example i can, the way it is, and as the man grows disappeared, the fish populations decline to be. the largest bodies shown they put the e called costs have been working here for 10 years. they were employed by the municipality, which manages the boot. it provides locals with a live, a lot of a growing up book. the shipment has started farming voices to compensate for the period when they're not allowed to fish. tourism has also developed with more and more visitors discovering the spect,

texting of bio diversity. it's especially popular with bird watching these tourists or lucky enough. the spots in our spring a. ready around $2500.00 tourists visit every month and locals with a guide. the visitors helped fund the nature reserve and also boost the locals income or not miserable if i'm clear to open them. you know, 20 percent of the revenue goes to the women who do reforestation with them and then the 2 communities that live around the lagoon get 10 percent each. another 20 percent goes to the eco gasket. are they all 13 of them? and they come from the villages to help us. if you don't remember that this is all very for some organizations such as bird life international are also active. and the nature of the lagoon is facing a range of environmental challenges a lot,

profoundly menache repair. she lives on the banks of the lagoon. the main threats which i'll climate change related are erosion and suiting the locals can see what's happening. they, we conducted studies in aust, them what they've observed soon. the data at time it on pause unity specially the older people who can compare with what it was like when they were younger that they consistently presented your call. you may say they've noticed before, it has become sandia and has the highest self conscious setting easy results. i believe the organization studies also made it clear that the locals were well aware what cost of these problems. this is all that d guess. go see when we ask them what, what solutions they would recommend, what practices they've noticed that seemed to accelerate the problems. and that should therefore be stopped. they themselves said that it's due to intensive fishing and harvesting, show fish in ways that damage the bankruptcy. if case was

a, did i thought the nymphs go on is actually no cause traditionally a harvested muscles and always does from the show lines and mangroves damage exempt from the process to date, the oysters are cultivated just above the water line, so the backgrounds remain intact. swab like is not rushing into someone of who but with these positive developments to continue, it's vital that the remains a protect area. the time is slung by, i'm afraid we've come to the end of the show for this week. we hope you enjoyed the program before i say good bye. i like to wish you all a happy all the day. enjoy the time with family and friends. see you next time. same you increase merry christmas and a puffy 22 people. thank you so much for the opposite of engagement with the problem. we hope to see you soon for now do take care and see you soon. bye. the.
