time is address, perpetrate to takes responsibility for his actions. studies of trees, dots march, 2nd on d, w. the how can we improve life in our cities with more and more people across africa and around the globe moving to other areas. this question has never been more important . i am sandra co homes, a 3 know do a writing comp. hello. welcome to yet another exciting edition of equal africa, and i, chris a lives in legal spikes area on the show today. we'll look at how we could clean up all cities, making life better for ourselves. and our environment. peers was coming up.
11:31 am
volunteer diverse, retrieving fresh from st. victoria, uganda. by 10 solutions, the french city that's getting a lot of gold about costume emissions. and protected shocks. we look at consultation efforts in south africa. we're talking about the quality of life is it is there is for nothing more important that the air will brief combination of calls and trucks and noon to pump all emissions that palm roll the environment and public health. so active is not experts in i real big, catherine hall and foster data on acquisition and paul, ordinary citizens to become change because this is the device that's good health transform every day. life scene, they will be a small since i'm measuring air pollution in the city center, mainly to blame for the quality of the pixel to as motorcycles. and these are paula
11:32 am
miti funds known as massages for the kids up and planning advocates, humphrey or html. as close, they will be home, you walk right, joins project between the city, government and the un exploding ways to make cabinets. capital, rena. he's particularly concerned about them, attaches shopped him to copy those sheets that are coming from different thoughts, lots of different tools they or it's, i mean it's into this evening. so they, it's, i mean it's, i'm ending this week. we just want our listing. so these are both on most of the formulas shown shoot through the seats. now that would of your day. so let's see. so base conducted by he's organizational phones. higher incidence rates of bronchitis in place as well. my touch is fly betsy. but on the delta legged ends like these can only go so fast
11:33 am
driving big policy changes that go up on a city wide level. you take how did the to the tenants, government does know todd yet. c this is way offensive. africa comes in the organization develops and assembles devices for environmental monitoring, unemployment action, africa, cities in africa in general, does not have data on the air quality levels. and because of that we have increasing terrible air pollution levels, right? so it's important for us to begin collecting this data to be able to compare it and see whether there's any health impacts. but since those are expensive, there is a problem that alicia, a lot of those engineering team is working hard to solve. that. we quoted this low
11:34 am
cost, see a quality more utah, and the reason being is that's it for letting me cheap up frontier to defense. good morning testing. we cost, you know, dental tens of thousands of yesterday the kissing components of 3 d printed on the team. she has the blueprints for the modified design, freely on the citizen scientist. any way in the world can legally replicate the device without charge. bringing the costs down on to $300.00 euros. who am i should be available? referring read models can cost me only 100 times as much on the team, frequently head out to inspect and inventing this senses they've installed in different parts of the road and moines, mostly to dwellers, are requesting the devices. we'll talk, i don't think people like give you malware. the shopkeeper has us the money general, the restaurant above these premises to host a sense of for him to
11:35 am
um most of the time i get our stuff to go. i just just paid for the full feeding every now and then go to hospital. it took up no able to present to the doctor today. i thought it too so that i have to be able to prove while i have watched so many dogs to the come to oppose this felicia and the smoke, but uh no action has to be taken. so yeah. healthy uh collection. maybe you have something to prove to them. sensors like these can a give a clip, pick general air quality and specific locations. but what would help to talk look the pollution in the city, the united nations, electric mobility program, advocates for a shift to electric vehicles. alex co not saves,
11:36 am
transitioning away from conventional combustion engines, needs to be incentivized economically. and that gets in to we'll transport is a good place to start. or 20 years ago, developments notes motorcycles, in kenya. now we have about $2000000.00 motorcycles, 250300000 motorcycles edit for a year. and if you would like to fight them, this has a definite and significant impact on greenhouse gas emission reductions. progress is being met. can you know both on electric motorcycle taxi fleet and the government has some bushes targets within 5 years. 100000. the motor bikes are set to roll onto kenya's treats. so more and more people we'd be able to hold on to clean up some supports, like i've been planning on the book, it i'm for your channel and who knows this much needed air pollution sensors might be redundant, so we all need to be able to get to around every day either come premium which way
11:37 am
. but it's realistic for everyone in the city to have y'all reform of motorized transport, providing defense and reliable public false quotation is showing in the way ford. this is now head to europe, a french c t is giving residents a big incentive to stop using that cause. and as you will see, the more people are wise to the challenge. the great to the benefits. monday morning in mon petty and something from the city with its half a 1000000 inhabitants is waking up and the i entropy is on her way to work. last december, she stopped teasing her parents call to make the 7 columbus to join the free public transport is a really good idea, especially for people like myself, i think twice before spending 50 euros on a monthly subscription. i. i only in 1950 euros gross per month. similar to my
11:38 am
sister who's also switched to public transport. the hey ma, it's me taking me 26 minutes to get to 10 minutes less than by coffee. it was it. i like the stress free way of traveling less on protecting the environment. long discuss services report is always on the to travel is financed by a tax paid by companies with at least 11 employees. such as the one in which financial b works. as a manager's personal assistant, i think those who know company used to be in an area with pull access to public transport. and that's why we moved to this location, which is only a 3 minute walk away from the tram. i've to do that in the hub for once the tackle is repaid, being used for something beneficial to society. welcome to so this is a really good measure. the height of us, well people suddenly stick with the medium sized companies, provides easy to use, let those codes management software for businesses operating in an environment to
11:39 am
the sustainable way. it's crucial to them all. and so like as a software developer, we only use service that are exclusively wrong with renewable energy. we have planted free trees on our grounds. we am very careful with the amount of electricity we use for lighting and air conditioning. last year we reviewed on common footprint. we have reduced plastic usage, but there is still a way to go with that. such efforts to the delight of the socialist lead city government, and it to a big party to celebrate the introduction of free public transport. and will peggy off december, the september to port the heed free public transport, give it to us, and some of that purchasing power about your it in a logical and social measure. so she has,
11:40 am
it helps us find global warming. that's but it doesn't touch mico and it gets everyone on board with that. the fuel costs the wrong about the clean of the uh, we breeze. don't know. view me. yeah, he left for his po and the measure seems to be getting down well with more pad. he's young inhabitants, much easier to just choose and it helps a lot not to have to spend money on transport voltage. so this encourages people to say, fuel and take public transport instead. yeah. but it's easy to evaluate as possible . but the part of this plan is the construction of a new tram line, the 50 and peggy it will be completed like next year and connect the university port valerie, when more than 20000 students has signed up. i know it's in the face of the universe. the entrance is while you have and you can see there is very important construction work underway and you will have to problem solve this right here. additional bike lanes thing. i'm some parking for cars as
11:41 am
a but less than in the past with, and we also transforming this square, which was useful parking into a pedestrian area. the university has created a lot of extra bike parking to the research was hoping this one to be used by students as security is about 40 percent of our teaching stuff currently come by call. what you so might take the time in the future. now this option exists what a good public transport network is crucial for free public transport or to make a difference. but getting around by public transport is not as easy in place as further from the center. central to v dot is an adjacent satellite town and part of more pelias metropolitan area with about 12000 inhabitants and counting people. daniel works in the sub but lives in the city center. he's part of a lovely group calling for the money spent funding free public transport to be invested in extending the network instead, as well. yeah. okay. it's about so
11:42 am
a pm says i'm there is only one from every 15 minutes. otherwise, even though it's going home, time of transport, links to so pool local townhome is even set up a shut that box on own district that you have to pay for. if you want free public transport, you need to consider that the city is growing. yeah. otherwise, you just please people in the city center with a good transport network and forget those in the outskirts of that. i mean, we all fit so traditional chevy. this homepage, a city. the new trim line is also going to run through central to the di da. you always hoping it's just the start. if the network is extended, the company's the max hopes that even more of its employees will take public transport. the c o also wants to make an even greenow. this we're going to construct a couple of bikes, should red, uh, the quote where in store solar panels on our re fi or the for so we can become even more sustainable and reduce energy costs. you know,
11:43 am
prices of reasoning by significantly more than i knew is here. this could include in nails in uh, as soon as it gets one big step forward has already been achieved. thanks to the new scheme. principle no longer makes up the line and share of the company's company, the footprint it will be in 1st thing to see is that strategy actually walks out and maybe even as well as other cities as well. so now tell me how many of you loud some coffee. if you do, you're definitely not alone. it is false, becoming the walls most popular. viv rates for many of us grabbing a ticket with coffee is a daily routine. more often the note is, comes in a disposable cup, which ends up in the trunk, but not in one, that is sweet songs to a new initiative. it's like a vending machine in with us. we usable coffee cups and not issued to you,
11:44 am
returned customers, and then refunded 67 us and deposits. denmark 2nd largest city or who's introduced the scheme to reduce waste from single use comes last year. we did a cleaning of the river that runs through the city and we picked up 100000 losses. so it is an issue and all this stuff ends out in the nature. we get the micro plastic. we get cups all over the place. saturday morning, the cd looks like fresh. so this will be a significant impact on, on, i'm michael plastic, but also the general picture of how the city looks. 25 machines scheduled throughout the city center. now take back the custom made cups for reuse that then transported to this cleaning facility. about $40003.00 usable takeaway cups. a currently in circulation. officials say it will take time for the system to pay for itself. but the benefits of west city council hopes to scale it up significantly.
11:45 am
basically those can be expanded to all kind of of take away. this can be the piece of box. this can be the, the box you have your car in. it can be the beer bottles, it can be pretty much anything that will go into a trash can. the scheme is set to run for 3 years before undergoing a review. more than 40 cafes and boss have already signed up building on other return schemes. we've done it with with plastic bottles and that works a superbly and you never see a plastic bottle are lying around because you know, people have incentive in, in taking it and, and getting whatever amount of money you can get from it. and but creating that and, and creating a new habit for people in terms of to go cups. and i think that's going to be challenging. but so many introducing another deposit system is not problem. on the contrary, i think that the people should get used to that we'd have to take care and we'd
11:46 am
have to move out. so to, to these machines, especially a good one. and if everyone plays the part, it's sure to be successful. that's also the message over the next report from right to in uganda. as we know, the was oceans of choking on plastic, but looks like even more polluted, like victoria is a serious risk of degrading partly due to for west management, bought lots of people walking hard to ton things around once a month. how some people takes a day to such a waste. so disability endo, with taste low e and these critics don't talk to dave to deep fish plus the flux to us at the surface of lake victoria of because we guess fresh what that lake is for the trash . don't they? oh, and when they, they don't do the some plastics on this fishing nets which are no longer being
11:47 am
used by the fish. i mean how something relieves and that you can't insure for like victoria. so he was most of you, somebody from what's to us for almost 3 years now. he's been diving for a look organization that seems to clean up the lake. they pull out a bundle and fish and eats or goes to mit, which had been yes for the day as the project is a day when i don't. and there was web me with a fishing net. yeah, that's the worst thing i heard. and i use my knife, which i'm always on the crate, the cut over, they say, you know, totally clean up the water. they also retrieve waste from the show that's covered in this petition. the 9 month to most of them gets help from volume t as each month, they get tons of plastic. i'm going to land faisal mer to him, but started the initiative. he's been organizing originally cleanups. here for,
11:48 am
for yes, he's program, you can, the junior ranges seems to return the lake. it's not just state the plastic and other what's the lake? victoria mainly comes from the canals. hope you're getting discovery to accomplish that is which should have been much of it will come out. the team of the junior ranges, lexia 3 times a week. we do what do i say it picks it up to make? we do, uh, what about time is that with you to that? is that on the lake and nicholas go ahead. he has a lot of the shows of liquid dirtier because of it, it was the we have the able to connect with about $10.00 or less these uh, within the least amount of uh, what does it, but we the big got you we, we, we can we are able to, we can afford it as of as much as $50.00 in less than plastic. the 2 most of tries to cover these as many residents as possible to take to the clean up on the canal. so we try to ability to
11:49 am
a cheap i'm the community by you mean what we're trying to do uh, through these community activities, clean up activities and whenever you're going to commit to re engage with the community, do so try to get them involved. and then uh, educate them about the negative impact. it has to their communities and their neighborhoods of those leaving the as it kind of a starting to realize that it's healthy and bit to for the environment. let's just to waste into the water. if you solve though for these sites, which are meant for that for the free and meaningful of streaming and the for fish, the or the for all of activities that you will take for the next. so far know it's enough. people have to convince us to help, particularly victoria greenwater is critical for the survival. those of leave on the lake i sent in your comes from if for me to fishes and those 1st time. how important this ease doing? hyundai, low phone, daisy. but the way i knew i loved this,
11:50 am
you'll and just to up so that i've heard of other people's life. and his group wants to continue the project that will continue to catch him. young people in the process which will allow the diving team to keep growing. i know the full story from stuff i'll forget the mind to require a change of thinking shocks often vilified and feed, but they actually to play a key role in the ocean ecosystem. does right, sandra, south africa's long coast line is home to 100. so shock species, the country have been a thrill blaze when it comes to studying and protecting these and dentist screeches and next reports will take a deep dive into the topic of shock conservation. as migrating blue socks of frequent visitors to the coast of south africa. poseida shy shops and gully
11:51 am
shocks a native to its count forest. these brown seaweeds all home to more than 200 shocks bc's the shock expos, ryan daily, regularly monitors their activities, the to conserve shocks. we need to know where they go, where they spend time. so we are tagging the shock to god where they go and identify critical habitat for them so that we can improve protection for these critical areas. he and his team fit the shots with acoustic transmitters, so they can track them a procedure. the shocks barely noticed to double once they've been tagged. the transmitter in midland, ultrasonic pulse for 6 years. and the last couple of years of tags over a 100 trucks representing about 10 or 12 different species. many of the shocks are
11:52 am
endangered. and we hope to find out more about the way that guy, specifically of the multiple years, we have to identify critical areas for them over a $150.00 receivers on mood along the sea bed to, to detect the signal from the tech shocks. whenever one of them swims by the receiver records, the id number, the signal ranges up to one kilometer. the acoustic receivers are regularly brought onto dry land, so the daughter they've loved can be evaluated. we have to work with the big natal, the top collaborators to share data on a receive is so all of the day so we clicked on these receive is it said within a network and then we able to pick out the way the trucks have been where they're standing the time so that we can prioritize the conservation the program,
11:53 am
canolli web, so long as these broad support for shock conservation efforts. from an early age, humans are afraid of these ocean print. it is no shock. populations can only survive if public attitudes to them change and that requires raising awareness by changing the mind states, i believe that i am changing the world one step at a time, a one kid at a time. for me, 5, a group of 49 is and i'm changing the minds. it's one child, even if it's going to be families and teaching them, watch all the same fulton, we're at 80 making such a big difference. the media tends to report on sharks mainly when they have been attacks on humans. at the shock education center in cape town, children can learn about the valuable role they play in marine ecosystems and get up close with shock, eggs, and even teeth. those extra time of this big stuff on how that
11:54 am
actually knows and that they're not actually thing just to us that we actually endangered them by polluting and by gushing. conservationists have also equipped an underwater camera with bait. so they can also observe smaller shy of sharks that look into killed forrest off the coast line it to lose the amount of hiding, allowing the researches to gain useful insights into ocean by diversity. the collected data is analyzed using a program the team developed to help them assess their findings. we've taken some open source machine learning software and trained it on hundreds of images and sharks and fish and all of the species that we come across here and phosphate and so that we can use it for detecting these bases in
11:55 am
videos in the future. their research has already proved highly constructive. these already moved public acceptance of shock, conservation, and conservation areas. now make up 5 percent of south africa's ocean's environmental. this would like to see that area increased further in order to protect marine ecosystems. what majestic creative. and that brings us to the end of today's show. great to have you along. i'm chris islands in lake goes. see you next time by piece on to all of you. if you've got any idea about how we can all look upto environment, do get in touch with love to hear from you. and don't forget to check us out on all of the social media platforms. do i am sandra holmes, that we know do funding go from complex, right to a new gun to the
