lines do lots of applications on the get of for electrician 90 of design, something that right now 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 home is a 3 know do a writing company. welcome to yet another exciting edition of equal africa. and i, chris who lives in legal side area on the show today. we'll look at how we could clean up la cities, making life better for ourselves and our environment. here's was coming up.

volunteer divers, retrieving fresh from st. victoria, uganda fights in pollution. the french cities that's gifted and brought a gold above caught in the mission. 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 cars and trucks and noon to pump all emissions. that's 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 or the citizens to become chain because this is the device that's good health transform every day. life in a row, be a small since i'm measuring air pollution in the city center, mainly to blame for the poor quality of the pixel to as motorcycles and diesel call

it meaning funds going as my taxes 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 attached, has shopped him to copy those streets. uh they are coming from different thoughts, lots of different tools. they are it's, i mean it's into their seats. so they, it's, i mean it's, i'm ending. this is we just want to go think so these are both of those sofa formulas shown into the seats. now they would prefer to sequence a base conducted by he's organizational phones. higher incidence rates of bronchitis in places where my touch is flight, etc. but under the legends like these can only go so fun driving big policy changes, go up on

a city wide level. you take part of that to the tenants. government does not have yet. c this is way offensive. africa comes in the organization develops and assembles devices for environmental monitoring, unemployment action, african 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. requoted this

a low cost of quality monita. and the reason being is that it's relatively cheap. but cynthia, 2 different grade one test we cost to, you know, dental tens of thousands of yesterday the kids to components of 3 d printed on the team. she has the blueprints for the modified design, freely on the citizen scientist. anyway, in the world can legally replicate the device we thought such bringing the costs down to the 300 euros for me. i should be available, referring to read models, can cost me only 100 times as much on the team, frequently head out to inspect and inventing that senses they've installed in different parts of the road. and moines, mostly to dwellers, are requesting the devices. people like give you malware. the shopkeeper has us demonic general the restaurant above these premises to host a sense of 1414

. yeah. most of the time i get our stuff to go. i just just paid the full fee every now and then we must go to hospital. it took up know able to present to the, the desktop to the authority so that i have to be able to prove. while i have worked so many to the come to oppose this felicia and the smoke, but uh no action has to be taken. so you healthy uh difficult action. maybe you have something to prove to them. extensive 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,

transitioning away from conventional combustion engines, needs to be incentivized economically and the targeting to will transport is a good place to start or 20 years ago, the almost new 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. you know, based on electric motorcycle taxi fleet and the government has on beach has targets within 5 years. 100000. the motor bikes are set to roll on to kenya streets. so more and more people we'd be able to hold on to clean up some supports like oven planning, advocates, humphrey or html. 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 in the company or to way

what's this lead to realistic for everyone in the city to have y'all reform of motorized transport providing defense and reliable public false quotation is showing me the way, ford. this is now head to europe. a french cd 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 moon, peggy and something from the city with its half a 1000000 inhabitants is waking up. and then i entropy is on her way to work. last december, she stopped teasing her parents cough to make the step in 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

sister who's also switched to public transport. hey ma, it's only taking me 26 minutes to get to 10 minutes less than by coffee or was it? i like the stress free way of traveling less on protecting the environment. i think the longest pest services report is what was on the travel, is financed by a tax paid by companies with at least 11 employees such as the one in which my in should be works. as a manager, as personal assistant, i think those who know company used to be in an area with pull access to public transport. and so that's why we moved to this location, which is only a 3 minute walk away from the tram. actually do that in the top for once. the title is repaid, being used for something beneficial to society. welcome. this is a really good measure. the height of us will, people suddenly stick with the medium sized companies provides easy to use with

those codes management software for businesses operating in an environment to the sustainable way is crucial to them all thought. and as a software developer, we only use service that are exclusively wrong with renewable energy. we have planted free trees on our grounds. we, i'm very careful with the amount of electricity we use for lighting and air conditioning. last year we reviewed kaufman 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. it through a big party to celebrate the introduction of free public transport. and will peggy last december, the sup image of what the heed free public transport gives citizens some of that purchasing power about your illogical and social measure. so she has,

it helps as it's like global warming. that's but it doesn't touch people. she doesn't, it gets everyone on board with that. the fuel calls 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 pen. he's young inhabitants. once you choose your doctors and it helps a lot not to have to spend money on transport most when this encourages people to say fuel and take public transport instead. yeah. but it's easy to evaluate the hospital. but part of this plan is the construction of a new tram line. the 50 mon 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 cram stoves right here, additional bike lanes thing. i'm some parking for cars as well,

but less than in the past with i'm only also transforming this square, which was used for parking into a pedestrian area that the university has created a lot of extra bike parking to the research was hoping this wouldn't only be used by students as curious about 40 percent of our teaching stuff currently come by call. what you some might take the trim 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 mon police metropolitan area with about 12000 inhabitants and counting. google daniel works and 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. the way you know it's about 4 pm and

there was only one from every 15 minutes, even though it's going home, time of transport link. so so pool local townhome is even set up for shut the box on own district. but you have to pay for it. if you want free public transport, you need to consider that the city is growing. yeah. otherwise you just please people in the see i've sent that with a good transport network and forget those and the outs. good. 3 mean we all fit so traditional chevy this on city 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 hoops that even more of its employees will take public transport. the c o also wants to make an even greenow. let's say we're going to construct a couple of bikes, should read it to where you can install a solar panels on our review and the so we can become even more sustainable and reduce energy costs. you know, prices of recent,

significantly more than i knew is here. the security included now this is soon as you take one big step forward, has already been achieved. thanks to the new scheme principle, no longer makes up the lion's share of the company's comp and footprint. it will be assessing to see if that strategy actually walks out and maybe even in splash other cities as well. so now tell me how many of you, lots of coffee, if you do, you're definitely not alone. it is false, becoming the walls most popular been rates for many of us grabbing a take a 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 or it's like a vending machine. and with this,

we usable coffee cups and not issued to you that returned customers and then refunded a $67.00 us and postage 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 cops 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 40000 re 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 scan the top

significantly. 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 bubble 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 a problem on the country. i think that the people should get used to that we have

to take care and we'd have to move out. so to, to these machines freshman a good plan 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. let's 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 or something that takes a day to such a waste. so disability endo, with taste. no. yeah, and these critics don't. tough to dave to deep plastic flux to us at his office like victoria because he gets fresh with a lake is quite of crush. don't they? oh, and when they, they don't do the some plastics on this fishing nets which are no longer being

used by the fish. i mean, how something relieves and that you can then sure of like victoria, so he and 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 put low to bundle and fishing 8 or goes to mit, which had been just for the dave 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 and bring it to land feasel mer to him, but started the initiative. he's been organizing ridge like clean up c o for,

for yes, he's program. you can, the junior ranges seems to return to the lake. it's not just state the plastic and other words, the leg. victoria mainly comes from the canals. hope you're getting discovery to accomplish that is which should have been. many people come out. the team of the junior ranges, lexia 3 times a week. we do what do i say it picks it up that make we do uh, what about the channels that you get to them? is that on the lake? and nicholas go ahead. he has a lot of the shows of liquid dirtier or because of it, it was the more you have the able to connect to about 10 tallies. oh plus these uh, within the lake. i'm out of the city. but with the big got you we, we, we can, we're able to, we can afford it as of as much as $50.00 in the 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 abilities to achieve the community by you mean what you're

trying to do uh, through these community activities, cleanup 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 me as it can now starting to realize that details here and be to for the environment. let's just to waste think to the water. if you solve the for the site which are meant for that for the free and convenient for a family on the for fishing and the for all i'd like to be to exactly will take the next so far. know it's enough. people have taken measures to help protect lake 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. i don't 100 lot phone daisy. but the way i

knew i loved this, you'll and just to up so that it got hurt. if i left, it was the life, gee, and his group wants to continue the project. they will continue to do kitchen young people in the process, which will allow the diving team to keep growing. i know the full story from south africa, the mind to recoil 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 dentists creatures 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

gullies chalks a native to its count forest. these brown sea weeds all home to more than 200 the 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 shop to figure out where they go and identify critical habitat for them so that we can improve protection for these critical areas. key and this team fit the shocks with acoustic transmitters, so they can track them a procedure. the shocks barely noted 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

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 signals 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 doctor, they've loved, can be evaluated. we have to work with a big network of collaborators to share data on a receivers. 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 can only work so

long as there's 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 already, um, making such a big difference. the media tends to report on shocks, 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. so it's extra time of the specter on how they actually know and that they're not actually thing just to us that we actually endangered them by polluting and by catching 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 um so that we can use it for detecting these bases in videos in the future. their research has already proved highly constructive. these already hold public acceptance of shock, conservation, and conservation areas. now make up 5 percent of south africa's oceans. environmental. this would like to see that area increase further in order to protect marine ecosystems. what majestic creative. and that brings us to the end of today's too great to have you along. i'm curriculums in late goes. see you next time by piece on to all of you. if you go to 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 social media platforms to. i am sandra co homes that we know do sign and go from complex, right to a new gun to the the
