so in the clouds, it's time to and then when generation tonight, watch now dw documentary, the while of the best ways to protect and preserve the environment is through no cloud solutions that help communities list sustainably, well protecting of some of those ideas on this new edition of eco africa. i'm chris gloves coming to you from lagos, nigeria. good to have you with us today. the valve is sold to crease initiatives that salt from the ground up can often set an example and influence people across board is i am sandra holmes,

that we know you right here in compound uganda. here is what we have coming up the quotes and almost in town they were using voucher reality to help the boys to be you. a young interesting you, you'll be a, we've a stylish solution to bostic pollution and how small scale form is kind of for the 3 face, dr. diesel, we've clean solar energy. let us begin a ride to in uganda where many communities are named via the amount of plastic with that is littering. the streets, clothing see was on the humming the environment. organize with management could help a lot until then it is up to people like, you know, plus people to find creative on wanting ways of dealing with these plastic like

life you never have to do come to you gun is anything but easy. but daughter is cuz he does not fall in the way on money collecting plastic bottles. the company is lead touch with them, including the small parts of the land where she grows her vegetables. she sells the plastic west to a recycling company. who was the moya on this to make about $24.00 euros a month. cool. me 5, buy a waste of plastic bag. see if i can get one. i mean i get 24 your i mean, but it has to be heavy. the duties could view the flood what to not keep a providence in democratic republic of congo. about 80 years ago. she's one of the about 1700000 refugees living in uganda most come from neighboring thoughts, done the democratic republic of congo, and ruined the country. that i've suffered under conflict and civil war. as a result you've done that is home to the largest surface you population in africa.

me think that the need seems like a huge challenge. now, duties, viewed eyes, studying, move in that young body. if hugh settlement in west a new gun down there is the west collection point to close to ha, from how got in the pavement arrives. those points on her mobile account. she can use them to make purchases and shops or get a cash disbursement of the dock. i'm a blessed to be that these people bring more plastics. it helps the environment. you know, the plastic chunk the environment and tell you my best of the plastic. this was the sort of for tailored to the so it loses its flexibility if it continues to collect and likes to decide where to gain it's fraternity. and on the problem was already turning plastic recycling into a business that was the idea of and to put in your front can be sure he and his team also developed the of which went online

a year ago in 2 locations in the city of dean j. and he's done, you've done the on here either. if he comes in west of the country and for equal plus type, this is just the beginning. we think it's possible to talk about this more than a median refugees engage in recycling as a business. and i need a small de la in the uh, from plastic recycling way, please environment. if we can do that, then we assure that the heating the triple bottom line, which is the people planet and, and personality. the worst plastic has been brought from the come to the companies, 53. the come part of this is where the plastic it's shredded and melted and then turned into roofing tiles. the tires are lightweight and cheaper to produce the conventional play tires and they can be dyed in various colors triplicate, the appearance of natural clay or concrete. they've already been used on several

roofs in kampala as we make them a 100 percent from plastic west. they have brick, red, they look like a normal crate, dies by the way, by the a 2 pins, light weight with 0 breakages and reduce the cost of construction loss. the company recycled more than half a medium kilo swath of plastic bottles. that's a lot for a small company, but very mex, a dentist, the roughly 220000 tons of plastic with that's produced every uh in the country. so far the gun and government hasn't come up with a plan to reduce plastic use. and there is no national recycling system to the dismay of environmental experts and do that, i'm searching, i think it is that on the list. so then the percent of the plastics are being recycled and the rest is being displayed. the is being thrown into the environment

as a result, plastic waste is a problem across the country. it's mainly local organizations that are trying to stem the tide of this young, bloody lessons. you come to the n g, okay? international brooks echo plus tile on board to help with the plastic recycling. what is get involved in the company? no more than 1000 refugees. i've taken part in the trash for caution program. the end you as also noticed that the program is making a difference. we have to do with the nearest ups when such intense or plastic corrected or by the opinion over the last 3 months. that is a lot in terms of their volume, no toner, plastic being corrected in terms of removing it from the environment. but you are looking out to and every time that we have you visited for the cortex as for the aggregate, as for the plastic recycle, as for those who are picking press because the source of income with the us any incentive more plastic waste is now being collected for recycling,

you don't have upfront can, with dish up pays a visit to, to young body is us to show how the up, what form. so many refugees here, the ability to on a small income mix, a huge difference. and of course, because the in this kind of most of us, the single mother, we no longer with a whole bunch of them is what they abandoned us with the children's does yet. but this business has helped us about because we have something to do every morning with trunk can, will you show and doty is viewed, i have both inbox in a new past and its paying off the entropy. and you guys know, getting in touch with the organization so that he can launch is program even more if he comes collecting west plastic is one thing preventing good is another way of if you appear next to meet an answer for you was settled to reduce the country's addiction to plastic shopping box bells, right. sandra and our company is not just talking in pollution in

a stylish way. it's empowering women and creating jobs in the countries capital. the eco friendly and fair backs for men, women for work or for going out and produced locally in ethiopia. impossible. well not for q this just by a cute is founded to but you see up here in 20. 19 in this suburb of addis ababa, she just created 31 jobs for women like us. all the women are weavers and work from home. she just comes regularly to collect the fabric they make. after this, we use these fabrics for different states defense of bucks. so click on manage with the data. she just had the idea to start a business 5 years ago. at that time, she was a student and she was living in this area which is known for this big dump site in

2017 a land site on the site cause the death of at least 130 people. after this event, she just wanted to do something for the neighborhood. one of the reasons why that happened with the existence of plastic fonts in the garbage. i got 3 get the concepts escalator back we. so it's at that time if we produce environmentally friendly shopping box like states, our body shop, each box, we can replace draft each box. but she soon realized that the initial capital needed to produce paper or fabric for shopping bags was too high for her. so she looked for another way to create jobs here, and old domains, so live around here and that and also the incidents happen outside in this area. so i wanted to create that for sure before, so i'm going to leave it around here. to non you was one of the 1st employees of cheapest. that is very, very, i'm trying to see if she's due to the fall break as i want it or as i trained.

huh. so it's ok to non, you looks after 3 children. this work allows her to provide for a large part of the family's needs. with the money she's given me, i pay the rent for my house from. i also have an extra jump doing she ruba has to, with the money from that i pay the risk food, etc. it's all done. i with the fabric made by the women. he just returns to our office in the city center of addis ababa. the bags are been made in this small room, cheated selves $60.00 to $75.00 bags every month. to cope with the crisis and to reuse the leather straps, she started to sell smaller and cheaper objects. like wallets were bracelets. she also often works at night to sell her products in a concert hall for the future. she dreams of selling more and more bags to create more jobs for women. and in the longer term jobs to relaunch her idea of ecological

shopping back. building up a small business can be a real challenge, especially when you're trying to be sustainable as possible. green solutions are often still also find out. she'll reach for many, but it doesn't have to be that way. let's go to start again. now when i'm in the opportunity that project is helping small skill families make the leap to clean energy. it's a desperate scene. the water tank is bowen, dry, the ground water pump is broken, and the diesel kindest is all empty. all abandoned by a senegalese pharma. overwhelmed by the effects of climate change and rising fuel costs? it's a growing problem here. they are farmers who use 1200 meters of diesel to irrigate a single heck to of agricultural that company. we are in the i s region in

north west in senegal, a region stretching 180 kilometers between the capital call and the city of san luis. it is the country's vegetable growing hub, but it's raining, less and less here. and the ground water levels are dropping. the young coal button d'ye it is currently cultivating potatoes and onions. honest, we used picked up thought, but he's also managed to cultivate overseeing and other vegetables on this land. to . until recently this antiquated, the diesel generator was a small hole. the only means of pumped the ground water onto his fields. now he has 9 solar panels to this clean energy is helping him to save money and keep his business afloat the fall every night before getting the solar power. and i was facing enormous difficulties

because my diesel permit, i'm because older and more than 60 days of diesel offering broke down may i? but with this installation of the solar panels, my consumption has dropped quite 20 meters. photos of my current every day to my higher form using solar energy. but i can switch off the diesel generate at noon and just use the solar power for the rest of the day. loses young coal button di i bought the solar panels with the help of a small load equivalent to 6000 bureaus. thanks to support from a state bank. the only has to be paid off of the loan. the loan was broken by an association in t is in the south of the region that represents more than 20000 vegetable farmers. my, my do the, i a has managed to secure a micro credit for solar panels for about 300 of these members by a sending a least financial institution. the long term goal is to be called an ice bombing in the region and save livelihoods in the face of the time in crisis seen

with the local. but it's a problem is we don't model nice all ways of working and take into account of wiggling water resources. that's why we have to introduce solar panels so that farmers say money conserve water supplies, ad save jobs, drop a, got the no, no, no liaison would allow spilled diesel contaminates the soil and kind of get into the ground floor to like other farmers, young coal button b, i is confused. yes, think about the benefits of switching, deplete energy for mazda and get that know what, what, what am i doing to boost the hospital that we have had and cause about the harmful effects of using diesel? it's not just a smoke, the fuel can also pollute the ground and the harvest. but the pharmacy was to lose diesel. don't have any other choice anymore because anything, any more i'm on. when like i'm on the thing. the guys up ask us all of the new money. additionally, i wouldn't have any more diesel on my feel. i the if i had 5,

so like whether or not they, they, they, they thought it all but the small hold the content for to do that. that's a pay according to agronomist i'm. i'm a do so from the senegalese in g o n deaf food willed so says the micro finance system favors big farm is the slow season going associated? it will lead to that is the interest rates are often a problem that, that they often too high. and that means that the producers frequently don't have the flexibility to commit just such an investment for you to be able to see some of that. when you, what it is on the watch we are seeing is that people with more capital than the small whole, the other ones profiting from this kind of investment. ne, wanna keep your, uh, positive that the more affordable solar facility is like. yeah, cool. but the i is good health regions. farmers survived the new yeah. yes. region

is also crucial for food security. this for the child coastal strip produces more than 60 percent of the tenant goals, vegetable. rapid climate change caused by human behavior have been effect all over the world on extra politics, those to a place that's having to deal with too much water rather than to lead to venice in italy is facing rising sea levels. while on the same time, its foundations, us thinking the was from a c t, how is already installed high tech, flog, gets bought the a wondering, easy enough. the venice has fascinated the world for over 1600 years. and for just as long people have been scared of floods or worried that the city could sink into the sea. this is the latest attempt to protect venice.

78 metal barriers that can be raised to separate the sea from the laguna. the system is called mos at signalfx triple symbol, if we hadn't had mos in venice, would have been irreparably destroyed. on november 22nd of 2022. it was the 2nd highest flood in history, but nothing happened. we were able to protect the lagoon and venice of del, provide to luna infinity. so it's elizabeth to spits has already given the order to raise the barriers over 50 times that much to compare, search, see, and she's having to do with increasingly frequently. so thinking about jeanette authority to remove that, we now know that the most it is a flexible instrument that does not always have to be opened and nor at the same time, sec, danville, san today. we know much more about black than wind. so we're in a position to act again for flooding that out within 50 has the most a system only partially to guarantee the exchange of water between the sea. the

goons. very easy to go for somebody that does that mean venice can be saved? climate experts predict that the sea level could rise by 60 centimeters by the end of the century. the oceanographer gate arc when the keys and says that most it is just buying time for the most house. and he's most enough to say tennis game. a man. yes, at the moment seen so definitely in the next 1020 or 30 years. but if the sea level rises by 50 centimeters, it will have to be used 300 to 400 times. that's once a day 1st. i mean, it won't manage to shop that, it moves, it won't be able to cool as a structure, but nor will the lagoon manage it because it meets the exchange of water. uh, did i won't it, but often house gosh, marco single vinny from the venice institute of marine sciences is researching the lagoons ecosystem. he says the frequency with which most a is being used has not yet had any major consequences. but this could change if

the lagoon is separated from the sea more frequently and for longer periods of time the time. okay, so i'm going to sorta see it couldn't be that at some point. we'll have to decide whether it makes sense to maintain the lagoon is a salt water lagoon or not the room for see the long closures interrupt the cycle between the seat and the lagoon, which is fundamental for venice. and we're also open to them. you know, it's what creates the lagoon floor and so forth, which determines what plants and animals can lives. there are the 2 we're going to face to talk decisions because they could understand the future. whether to save the lagoon or the cities, the nations would ideally keep both the san marco is the lowest point of venice and the 1st applied work is currently under way to raise the square the get on my buddy now were raised to

a $110.00 centimeters in the square would no longer be under water because it would manage up to a $110.00 centimeters with like flooding. and that over a $110.00 centimeters come and what was the system would close? so in other words, there would be no more flooding on the son marco he says that venice, as we know it cannot last forever in any case. at some point, the lagoon will have to be separated from the sea. and the venetians will be forced to decide what kind of a bite of those cannot be rescued. we have to decide what to save some van investments. there is only one benefit, gibson, i'm in a difficult decision. one venetians hope they will never have to make the pad to deal with what apple problems may lie ahead. con, really help quotes in girl is around the globe. are trying to understand how to

adopt to the effects of climate change as you about to see some farmers and calories guessing some innovative od striking cal. it's not your average teaching age. virtual reality technology takes a bit of getting used to. but with the help of these headsets, kind of runing, cotton farm is a landing, have to adopt most sustainable practices, boosting their hobbies and their incomes fit to deform us. jump in this type of training, plunges farmers into a world where they can practice the message and practicing helps them understand the challenges better and adapt accordingly. laptops and why do you, how low key learned how to, from cotton, from his parents. but now he's willing to try out new approaches. i'm getting new skills. the high tech headset transposed into a cutting field for and a most is learning experience. he can see the crops close up from his desk along

with any interest stations and dangerous pass. the training also shows in some creatures a beneficial such as spiders, that feed on the catholic painters that can destroy his cotton chrome. if i'm going to video from any like way right there in the video, we can see exactly what's happening a plus. it's been a great help to was uh, it was been a great help to me. so i'm, i work with a company. my real well in northern cal, marine is the centers, the country's cotton industry is the main cash crop growing in the region. and one 3rd of arable land 2 is used to cotton production. many families depend on it for their livelihoods. of 10 minutes specialized, including hallowell, g hello, keys, wireless for children at school. his wife and 2 of his neighbors are going to help him with the harvest. kind of hokey is planning to put what he learned on the course about pest control and sustainability into practice next year. when it's

time to associates again. is an attempt by at least the i won't use toxic chemicals because they cause a lot of problems. muskets i did on the buckle is that these i products kill all insight and say, but if i have some a useful. okay. it will see you start to see that goes back to our animals and that bad for the air we breathe. they're kind of so slow as if i wouldn't use toxic fertilizes either. i'll use organic fertilizer and i stayed clean again on the top . see, the pharma learn how to make cool comic pesticide spray on the virtual reality course. by mixing names, the powder with water olive oil and a little washing up liquid. it's not any better for the environment, the chemical pesticides. it's also a lot cheaper. the training sessions are organized by the international cut and advisory committee and financed by the gym and development agency. the g,

i said it must have learning in a virtual environments that replicates real world situations is also cost efficient . it reduces the sort of expenses associated with standard training methods, such as traveling fuel, northern cameron and these, these a 3rd of the rain full of the rest of the country and climate change is exacerbating the irregular rains and drought. to tell you up, i look for the sign. it was but it isn't rain, nothing rose, come on. that's a problem. also it is up. we'll see it even if the crops start to grow without rain and they wouldn't last them properly. but that's another one of the challenges i will go see. the farm is learn how to best top is the cotton to preserve its quality. and avoid does contamination. hokey is also started using coal sacks rather than plastic, not least because that means less waste. 250 farm is have already taken part in the

virtual reality cools, and 90 instructors have been trained up to pass on the new skills is climate change, confidence calm is with new challenges. hello g hello key and his family. a team to keep up with the times whether it is high take or low take, or a mix of the to the best solutions walk best when the impala the people they are supposed to help. i am sandra co forms, the 3 nobody signing up from complex rights here in uganda. thank you, sandra and i am christa lansing lagos. nigeria, thanks for joining us and do checkouts echo off or go online for more great stories and ideas. see you again. next week the
