this is india is new generation. what all day dream. in the world's most populous country. what do they want to change in the society full of contrasts. the indian aids stuff, june 5th, on dw, the a quite a few environmental activities. the realize that slowing down is one way to leave more sustainably. we'll proceed how simplifying our lives and thinking creatively can reduce our impact on the not through weld. welcome to eco africa. i'm crystal lives in lagos, nigeria, the modem was culture of convenience, has a very damaging effect. what if we do things differently?

i am some drunk of homes that we know do. joining you from compound right to in uganda. here is what we have coming up. and inventive use of risk, i quote robust sandals in uganda and ations fishing method still use of the cost of denise yet. and an artist who believes that even from the launch is the key to include life. but we begin to show in the democratic republic of congo, a country that fences multiple environment of china, cheese from the impact of mining deforestation onto 14 to water pollution. we went to let cube on the border to run to, to meet a young man was trying to clean the tub. joseph hydro banga is in a good mood, even though the job he's doing today is not exactly fun for several years now.

he's come out regularly on lake keyboard in use the rogue boat. together with other members of the green helmets team, he collects plastic waste. let's go visit our team. it was because this is a routine for me now. every week i set aside 4 hours of my free time to clean up, like even the cut them don't do much. i cherish this lake. i was born here and grew up here. it's part of who i am today. onto the truck. yes they do. most cars, people but it's badly clumped up with plastic. rubbish, also lines the color river which feeds into lake cuba here in the city of because of environmental experts. you've learned that tom papa has long been monitoring the problem. the garbage is gone, terminating the water, and he's concerned about the impact of the worsting pollution on marine life liquid

se counseling on is a disease surpassing the much the consequences are enormous, not only for the human population, but also for the quite things population. so mid the sick and for rule out there should be a nursery for fish and a young they should come here to reproduce. don't see, but unfortunately it's a place that's already polluted here. so these fish, of course, have to leave the area. yeah. problem. why is it possible to believe that the fleet, a citizen, the democratic republic of congo has no functioning waste collection system every day? thousands of tons of plastic waste and up in illegal landfills or strewn about the place of this situation is easily catastrophic. in many parts of the country. locals have recently noticed a significant decline, dumb bozza, a saw dean that's native to like cuba. populations will likely continue to dwindle

unless the lakes cleaned up. this would have far reaching consequences for those who live from fishing here. this makes the work of the green helmet activists all the more important. dozens of garbage collectors, comb, the city for plastic bottles and take them to a collection point where a member of the team pays them accordingly to the amount they've gathered. a bag of garbage such as the equivalent of the trust fund, a one year old guy. the 90 say this work and helps me a lot because when i clicked the bottles, i helped my family to get a quote from the bottles of been sorted by brand. the aim is to best way to the companies that to make them to support the initiative. the plastic that's collected is then used as construction materials. this floating platform produced from bottles was made by the activists. the plan is

to build a much larger project based on the model, the laptop you will be an artificial island over 1200 square meters in size. and 6 in the middle of the lake city see will implement the new cities to that. this is where we're going to set up the initiative called the g, like told pete off walk, which will be a hotel complex. it will have 6 guest rooms and a multi purpose whole web conferences can be held to raise awareness of the problem of drastic. but usually the shoals place the bottom up when you feel blessed to, to. but in order to make that happen, they need to collect 2500000 plastic bottles. that would be a lot of wood. but the green helmet group is nothing if not the 2 event, a fishing tech specialist on school. and especially when it is done using palm leaves, it might not sound as efficient as using nets, but it is an ocean to fishing method, but it's still practiced in to me is,

is click on the island. exactly sandra, where there is no shortage of palm trees. it's called stuff the fishing and it's especially environmentally friendly. our reports, i went there to find out how these amazing tradition works and if it can survive in today's well the see is a couple of 2nd time. today. he's once again heading out to going fishing, using an angel technique found only here on the kind of items often busy as east coast. it's cold, sophia, and involves catching fish with the help of palm fronds. almost shortly. for lenny i'm, i've always worked at sea. when i was a kid, i went fishing with my dad, the unavailable, and when i finished my studies and returned home, i automatically went back to fishing. age fia is arranged as a triangular barrier. the palm fronds can be seen in the shot,

a waters around the occupy, like a fishing technique relies on title currents to drive the fish into the traps. unlike fishing troll is the shot via don't com, the marine environment. instead they present a bio diversity. they have an answer, but i think, but i think the problem with a dragnet says that they don't allow anything to escape with the palm branches, fish, find holes to swim through every hotel and doctor's treating people. it's friend . i mean guinea does is also on board. he's not a fisherman, but an artist, and he's fascinated by this age and fishing technique. traditionally, it involves the use of date, palm branches. again, he does they to a part of the kind of islands, cultural heritage. in his studio, he creates various products to sell using different parts of the palm, a living that he has by the basis of the care, kenny and shot c. a is

a cage that inspired me to create decorative objects for indoors and outdoors. i tried to retain the original look how was i that he sees himself as an impass of the official fia, in 2020 unesco, declared it part of humanities, intangible cultural heritage. it's also linked to angel traditions and cultural practices. walk up, i was using this method as a basis for my project without really knowing how it works. once i learned more, i fell in love with the c panel. but times have changed some now use plastic traps is that cheaper. others have abandoned the practice altogether. is time consuming. and industrial fishing has decimated fish stokes. so the whole and the shelf you as allstate plummeted, but some fishermen are actively campaigning to preserve the tradition,

especially because it works in harmony with nature. and the palm branches get fish somewhere to hide and live. it's an ecological method that preserves and respects the environment and we'll have a valid via this fisherman. denise shaw fia will continue just on the test of time as the fish cool this way, a fuss superior to the catch from industrial fishing. good. what's the sure brought to assure a live? that's why they're considered to be of better quality than those caused by other means. you know, you to put on high quality fish is an important source of income for the occupant to go on an added tool for to risk to visit the islands. but for allie, a couple, sophia fishing is more than a trade. it's positive, good can, is unique cultural identity. that's now at risk of disappearing. well, let's look into that. have passed all our ancestors had a shop to ya. just determine if the via of the company they would build it up over

the summer months. it shouldn't, they admit today having a shocked seo requires significant financial capital for the money that many are unable or unwilling to invest. and so she fee of fishing continues to dwindle, even though it's so sustainable. from fishing or fishing to mode in agriculture all over the world farm is angry and have been taken to the streets to protest. what are the reasons for their rhonda and what exactly do they want and what unites them? and what those the climate have to do with its less thoughtful investigation, even euro thomas has been out protesting, seemingly non stop lazy your rep from portugal to not for you to write mania to from the know me. there was so many specific e rooms, $5050.00 of them, and then the and we can no longer produce at low prices. and so if you called you about people who are obviously short, so we want things to change because this business has

a passion in fonts in germany, the demos have focused on the reduction of diesel subsidies. they all come out these bismark with cultural diesel, refunded one cent per liter, meant to reimbursement of 25000 years for us to have smoked us. if we lose the subsidies, now, i really don't know how we'll make on this. meet thomas in greece is still reading from floods in 2023 and one foster compensation for damage from natural disasters and hungry and poland. farms were angry about impulse of cheap grain from ukraine, of the rushes invasion, the wave terrace on ukrainian grain and projects as a measure of support. the purpose of the government didn't talk to us about that. we came to wasteful to share the power of pilots vomas'. i posted the new car. the diesel subsidies flood damage is will grain and pause farmers feel abandoned by that governments. and from a financial perspective, this might well be true. it's just

a fact that over time agriculture tends to shrink. revel looked into other sectors of the economy, stuff on the phone. chrome on telemundo is an agricultural policy economist and a consultant to the world bank and several national governments. and this is true, almost everywhere in the world. i can't think of any real exceptions. the european fonts are dying out, decreasing by roughly a search since 2005 still 8700000 people worked in europe in agriculture, in 2020. and that doesn't include seasonal workers, thomas worldwide face higher rates of mental health problems compared to the general public in europe in the us. the foaming population has shown elevated suicide rights. being of hallmark smoke only having the job as a file, but really. ready giving, giving all in agricultural, economist marie from my research is the social side of sustainable feed systems. it's a way of life and the flight of so much, not a bubble. small problem as

a struggling us, they lose relevance in our economic system, which in many ways, stocks against them. the well across the value chain is not distributed enough, fairly men of yvonne, even a flux. it's a separation of a case for european farm is conform. walk as anything else and the thoughts manufacturers of good things, like the biggest share of the volume, which is produced in dougherty for to set top and bottom of some sort of on what goods which are like in the bottom of the book. these probably would change. giant supermarket chains have most of negotiating power for prices, european commission, so they found the almost o e u. food chain supply is reported experiencing at least one form of unfair trade practice. be a student, i love of the miserable crisis. how about box to the was on corporations, care about nothing, and really about price says, you model, you often price us. then the or international trade deals like the proposed

e u mce store agreement with less than american countries. farmers say to increase t agricultural inputs produced follow a standards most of the of the, the door allowing food. and that's not made the way we do it has with us all small the price negotiations with supermarket, some manufacturers and not coming well. like on to be sure it is, we're asking for all this to be put on the table. and for swift, concrete responses also copy this. because the talk, it's about frustration is usually the you commission in brussels, which controls another thing from us present, become an agricultural policy or c p for show the system was launched in 1962 to deal with post full feats gas a t in europe who most 3 quarters of the c a p budget goes to direct payments for farm is the payments are calculated based solely on how big the form is. this means the policy rewards industrial firms which tend to be monoculture, corporations,

for example, one of your biggest arable farms is awkward cost or romanian serial producer. you a e invest as voltage for reportedly between 2 to 300000000 years for the phone gets over 10000000 annually in each subsidies. romania exports a large majority of its grain, meaning the you from these must have fonts is not benefiting the local economy. and most europeans farms of small aging family farms with less than $500.00 tons of land. you're going to the generation is afraid of help on many eros game. well, we even get the job later on. if the lower is implemented as planned, he's influence us for the full that one complex and a full ready and to climate goals. europe has loved the plans to become the 1st climate mutual confident by 2050 agriculture is responsible for more than 10 percent of tied to in your greenhouse gas emissions relative to the size or the overall economic importance of the sector. it produces disproportionately

a large share of greenhouse gases. the european commissions responded by launching its own green deal policies to make fruit systems more environmentally sustainable . we can't afford kind of to think about the x issues and like environmental protection like body diversity, like ethical issues. many of the european farmers protests have targets at e greendale policies such as phasing out diesel subsidies, reducing fertilizer and pesticide use. i'm setting aside land for bio diversity. they say the rules don't compensate them for the income blocks. so that taking too big a share with about and the problem with the policy is that it is a bit gets a frantic. um, if it's meant to be income support, then you think, you know, we should be targeting smaller firms with low income, more and not the big farms. but if the policy is to reduce bombings,

climate to impact well then big firm should be getting more payments because a big farm is affecting the environment on a much larger number of factors. the protests have had some effect from dropped to its fuel subsidy costs and the you scrap to plan to reduce pesticides. and you trade support for ukraine now contains a measure to prevent too many ukrainian products being sold in the states. but it would take no to help from us to dress climate change in the long term, such as limiting e legislation to the environmental aspects of agriculture away from farming subsidies. the income support is in the european union, a national policy priority. the social policies or national priorities that shouldn't be coming from brussels. in that case, each member state would support its own pharmacy. it would have more flexibility and shaping subsidies which could support small farms and create incentives and

financial support for more logical practices. can seem is, would also have to change that habits in the you findings, environmental cost isn't fully included and fee pricing changing that would shift the pressure on low income households. the policy makers are going to have of to find ways of buffering that and distributing the load, but the load has to increase. meanwhile, smaller farm is a hoping for a big a c to the table. some of the, the best on doing it with people who work with the, with nature about salt, passion, you to people who manage this to tend offices will the unfortunately they don't even know what nature is best to exceed that through. we have probably minutes goes into the set up presented its actors or model is um have you listed in the model is that, that the school, the by differential ones, maybe much shaping called the political agenda if we want farmers to be able to

provide all fits sustainably, it seems that the current system that favors the biggest players will have to be fundamentally reformed. in all next reports, we had 2 fronts. to beat a pharma was perfectly happy. the only use this old fashioned mess, thoughts that most farmers this, these do not have time for those months. even have a track to both the police and respecting the environment that lives from the land and tries completely self sufficient. meet samuel lewis, who was never attended school or taking up a job. he lives in brittany, getting by with almost no money, but we took it off with the enviroment basically. oh, well, we need is uh it provided for us by the soil. and if we know how to foam it be

can leaving a beautiful environment, a good 37 year old uses traditional tools to attend to the 3 heck just blocked by using old fashioned ways. he avoids using, you know, gardening from inputs and equipment which from the biosphere. someone gets his various foot supplies from the, from vegetables grains and even bread, by rejecting consumer resume, he prefers the cost effectiveness got in and being fully sustained bite, eat this document. the other thing, what interests me, spending less time walking for money. because for me it seems like a cycle of poverty and destruction of my environmental people to the office, someone on the, on the moon. and they want to have time to look up to leaving things. people, environmental sustainability is key to sign in. but for him it's even more important to share. he's knowledge of us. he publishes on service books, but teach people how to take out the environment. someone is leaving his dream,

a simple life, and leaving in harmony with nature. and mission is to try and who address to balance. and just to tell people, particularly younger people, you don't necessarily have to destroy the environment. i'm interested in cataract. uh, in a way is as much out taste as a fama on next report features and now the crossover between the arts and the environment. it takes us to uganda, open now to sandra creek. now here in come pull out. ok, 5 percent of guns, which is recycled, and the streets up quite badly. lated artist on design and then never can you trust is the results. just even phone to have a key to views for rhonda sanders, but people have thrown out a allen level can yet is combining a passion for ox. was careful her environment, collecting, discarded, flip flops is the 1st step to process. she has invented to turn plastic pollution

into something useful. uganda, like many places around the world is listed with hundreds of thousands of plastic slip slopes. this one, this farmer pulls out of his field is about to be given a new creative purpose. newman, there was some surprise this girl collection. and we see her guessing our beautiful things will go through novel kenya tends to flip flops into paint, which she uses to make works of art and other objects for the offices. it's a way of coping with the mess. people have been making of the world around them. besides the saving of the environment, we are promoting the cultural recycling in our country. so this would be, could be something very interesting if either a to scan actually come on and try it out. as her flip flop collection point,

never kenya begins to reclaim the original bright colors that's in ties to people to buy the food with. in the 1st place, scrubbing the flip flops by has and leaving them in the sense of dry is a laborious job. but it's crucial for her project, transforming them into art materials. back in the studios, she uses a bell, sends in machine to reduce the food with to a fine dust, which she collects and mix these with a bind to to make paints. with such as a variety of discarded slip slopes, never kenya has been able to create a pallet of bold colors with which she express herself. she has also brought in other materials into her artworks such as stripes of discarded vehicle tires novel kenya is making a name for himself in the compiler, otwell, and internationally with the auction makes from flip flops of slippers,

as they know locally hot technique is so unique and there is and that's why i laugh, i love it because of that text. yeah. and um, another thing is um, sure, cause of that environment. so by using the past and t as instead of binding and, and, and, and filling them my way back to that, that she turns them into life. never kenya hopes that, how often raise awareness of all effects a nature and change people's attitudes towards per adults. that we no longer have a useful to, to save nature. people have mismanaged with a lot, and we're here to tell them that this can be interested around and after the functionality that they actually know about,

they can maybe do something else on these. this is an ending life on ending life. besides her paintings, allen never can you also designs and adult inspection items. the uganda and office is located at more useful, higher, recycled with so many flip flops. still to be removed from the environment. she says she could produce house space as well. i'll premiums idea of making phase by hand and making phase that last we should all be doing for a fact. we hope you feel as inspired as we are by our report this week. i have chris a lives in nigeria, a thank you so much for joining us and don't forget to head to an equal off or go online platforms for most stories and, and drop us a line on equal on data the dot com. i am sandra holmes, that we know deal signing of from complex right to in uganda.
