hi, i'm shopping and i'm ready to dive into the hands of the gentleman who to us. you have you have a one to talk to me before you go to the spot and unexpected side to side. 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 holmes, the 3 know, do a writing comp. welcome to yet another exciting edition of a co op and i christa 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.
5:31 am
volunteer divers, retrieving fresh from st. victoria, uganda fights in pollution. the french cities. that's getting a lot of gold about costume emissions for tech to 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 at noon to pump all emissions. that's palm roll, the environment and public health. so active is the 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,
5:32 am
mainly to blame for the quality of the pixel to as motorcycles and diesel pilot mean, he finds going asthma, 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, 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 is we just want to go think so these are both of those sofa formulas shown into the seats. now they would of your day to say so, base conducted by he's organizational phones. higher incidence rates of bronchitis in places where my touch is flight, etc. but on the evidence like these can only go so
5:33 am
far as i dress in big policy changes that 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, 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,
5:34 am
a lot of those engineering team is working hard to solve. to record this low cost equity monita. and the reason being is that it's relatively cheaper frontier to date expense, great money test. we cost, you know, dance of 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 line citizens have just anyway in the world, can legally replicate the device without charge. bringing the costs down to under $300.00 euros. commercially available roofing red models can cost me only $100.00 times as much on the team frequently head out to inspect and inventing that senses they've installed in different parts of the robi and moines. most city dwellers are requesting the devices people to keep you in malware. the shopkeeper has us the model number of the restaurant above these premises to hold
5:35 am
a sense of 1414 most of the time i get our stuff to go, i just paid that little fulfillment every now and then we must go to hospital or to come. now able to present to the doctor today, i thought it too, so that i have to be able to prove all i have. what so many drugs to the come to oppose this felicia and the smoke, but uh no action has to be taken. so you're healthy uh, collection. maybe you have something to prove to them. a sense of like these can a give a clear picked general air quality in specific locations. but what would help to tackle air pollution in the city?
5:36 am
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 no motorcycles in kenya now we have about 2000000 motorcycles to in the 50000. so we ended those motorcycles added for you. and if you would like to fight them, this has a definite and significant impact on greenhouse gas emission reductions. progress is being mit can you know, boast on electric motorcycle, toxic fleet. and the government has on bushes targets within 5 years. 100000. the motor bikes us set to roll onto kenya's treats. so more and more people we'd be able to hold on to clean up transports. like i've been planning on the book, it's, 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 around every day in the company which way.
5:37 am
but usually 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 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 mon petty 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 using 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
5:38 am
sister who's also switched to public transport. hey ma, it's me 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 always 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 text is repaid, being used for something beneficial to society. welcome to so this is a really good measure. the height of us both people suddenly stick with the medium
5:39 am
sized companies, provides easy to use with no codes management software for businesses operating in an environment to be 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 are very careful with the amount of electricity we use for lighting and air conditioning. last year, we reviewed a common footprint. we have reduced plastic usage, but there is still a way to go with that. in such efforts to the delight of the socialist lead city government, it to a big party to celebrate the introduction of free public transport. and will peggy last december, the september, the 4th, the heed free public transport gives citizens some of that purchasing power by your
5:40 am
illogical and social measure. so she has, it helps as if i global warming. that's but it doesn't, i punish people. and it gets everyone on board with that. the fuel costs the wrong about the clean of the uh, we breeze. don't know if you me, you have a left for his po. and the measure seems to be getting down well with more pen. he's young inhabitants. walk you through to judge and it helps a lot not to have to spend money on transport today. i will send this encourages people to say fuel and take public transport instead. yeah. but it's easy to evaluate as possible. but 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 $20000.00 students has signed up. it always seems that the universe, the entrance is why you then you can see there is very important construction work on the way you will have to problem solve this right here. additional bike lanes
5:41 am
thing. i'm some parking for cars as a but less than in the past with i'm, we also transforming this square which was useful parking into a pedestrian area that 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 some 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 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, as well. yeah. okay. it's about so
5:42 am
a pm says i'm there was only one from every 15 minutes, even though it's going home time of transport link so, so you pool local townhome as even set up a shut that box on, on district. but you have to pay for it. if you want free public transport, you need to consider the city is growing. yeah. otherwise, you just please people in the $0.60 a with a good transport network and forget those in the outskirts, i mean, we all fit so traditional chevy this on 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 that red, uh, it took where install a solar panels on a review in the past. so we can become even more sustainable and reduce energy
5:43 am
costs. you know, prices of reasons by significantly on what that new is here. this could include in now good. it seems like it's one big step forward has already been achieved. thanks to the new scheme, transport no longer makes up the line and share of the company's company, the footprint it hoping 1st thing to see is that strategy actually walks out and maybe even inspires 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 viv rates for many of us grabbing a take a coffee is a daily routine. well, often the note is, comes in a disposable cap which ends up in the trunk, but not in one dish city songs to a new initiative or
5:44 am
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 make ups 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
5:45 am
for itself, but the benefits of west city council hopes to scaly 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
5:46 am
a problem. on the contrary, 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 freshmen a good plan and if everyone plays the apart, 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 even more polluted. let's victoria is a serious risk of degrading partly due to pull west management, bought lots of people walking hard to ton things around once a month. some people it takes a day to such a waste to disability and doherty's low. yeah, and these critics don't tough to dave to deep plastic flux to us this office of like victoria of because we guess fresh with a leak is kind of crush. don't they?
5:47 am
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 driving for a local, been a vision that seems to clean up the leak. they pulled out a bundle and fishing 8 or goes to minutes, which had been yours for the dave as the project is a day when i enter the i don't and there was web me with a fishing net. yeah, that's the worst thing i heard. i use my knife, which i'm always on the crate, the cut over there, you know, totally clean up the water. it also retrieve waste from the show that's covered in this the condition. the main men to most of them gets help from volume t as each month. they get tons of plastic. i'm going to land face over to him, but started
5:48 am
a new city. he's been organizing ridge like clean up c o for, for yes. he's program. you can, the junior ranges seems to return the lake. it's not just state the plastic and other was the lake 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 for do what does it take to the make? we do uh, what about the channels that you get to them is that they're on the lake and nicholas go ahead. he has a lot of the shows of liquid dirtier for because of it, it was the more you have the able to put a will by $10.00 or less these uh, within the least amount of uh, what was it. but with 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
5:49 am
canal. so we try to ability 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 the as it can now, starting to realize that details here and be to for the environment. let's just to waste into the water. if you solve though for these sites, which are meant for the free and meaningful streaming and the for fishing and 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 protect lake victoria. greenwater is critical for the survival. those of leave on the lake i sent in your comes from me to fishes . and those 1st time how important this ease and the time they load from daisy.
5:50 am
but the way i knew i loved this, you'll and just to up so that it couldn't hurt it, but 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 for a 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 has 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 of migrating blue,
5:51 am
socks of frequent visitors to the coast of south africa. poseida shy shops and coffee shop, a native to its count forest. these brown seaweeds are home to more than 200 shots species. 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 if the gods 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 the procedure or the shocks. bailey noted to double once they've been tagged. the transmitter in midland, ultrasonic pulse for 6 years. and the last couple of years of
5:52 am
tags over a 100 trucks representing about 10 or 12 different species. many of the shocks off endangered. and we hope to find out more about the way that guy, specifically the multiple years, we have to identify critical areas for them over a $150.00 receive as a hood along the sea bed 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
5:53 am
the time, so that we can prioritize the conservation the program, 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. um, 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
5:54 am
up close with shock, eggs, and even teeth. those 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 conservation notes, i've also equipped and under what a camera with bait. so they can also observe smaller shy of sharks that look into killed forest off the coastline 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
5:55 am
phosphate um so that we can use it for detecting these bases in videos in the future. their research has already proved highly constructive. there is already more 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 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
