and all the rest of the classify as a disgusting w series about our complex relationship with animals need to be watch. now on youtube, d. w documentary, the trees produce oxygen. we need to brief. they protect the soil and provide a home for animals and plants. and the water is a precious renewable resource that we have to manage sustainably. so today we meet all sorts of people involved in supporting these vital copeland. it's of the us ecosystem, as well as those were walking with the flores. i am sandra holmes between the video and joining me on these edits of the vehicle off of the ease. of course,

my colleagues chris ellen's all the way in this area. and then, well, welcome from me to here in lake us. and i'm thankful for the j 2 shades. these 3 is up, provided me today. and i also have what's coming up waste prevention, how liberal in set me goals, restaurants, helps to reduce plastic use. and why mushroom hogs up popping up a little above run down. let's big gainesville and gone to the various drivers of deforestation among them. illegal sales are protected by adults. in many cases, there are communities, sole source of income was a probably a not for can forest conservation gone. the last move stuff, it's woodlands now. so suitable for us the advocates of reason, local people's awareness about that not to results of the this scene of the crime with

a fair treatise because secretly chopping down trees. but with thank just are we given any inquiry and frank company wants to protect a gun? it's 1st and they've succeeded here in the restaurant to region. people came to mind illegally. and it's a report from one of the monitors that i truly sports about. we spoken them for mining and really realized that these mining activities let me know i was commission, knew nothing about it. so when we got to the north commission involved the i truly did, they needed a spot from them and this came to a halt. so we could see that it's only a portion that's what destroyed and they have remains as through day, so at least, oh, the lights are very, very useful. frank, i didn't live close by back then. curious, be alone on up on his cell phone. let's him report illegal logging in for as far

as the report is sent directly to the headquarters of civic response, gonna be and you started the monitoring program which and then informed the authorities so that they can respond to direct to me is this all this into pieces already, it has to interpret since we have the web and that isn't that of the mobile industries . the mobile interface is basically for reporting for the state balances and that is used as a one to one minute. and one of those use jo, a 60 also lives in the restaurant to region in dev. wildwood. yeah. community not far from the kind of the a forest i grew up here and he and his family from the forest where they also grow vegetables and pump oil trees. yeah. by how long you will put it some more familiar to me. you know, we used to be able to hunt and get onto my production. we saw the destruction of our forest has deprived as of all of these things. these have had and they get even

effect, like when a livelihood the i was reading doesn't to used to be a problem either. but now there is hardly enough reading for across the bill out. but people are cutting the trees with chainsaws, the bending them to make chunk home. yeah. so we are really suffering. will you think? i might, you know, rubin will hop high on what to do or turn them on. he has joined deforest funds. the vision is to try to put a stop to read the things civic response, guidance, monthly meetings. the group is not active throughout the country. it's for risk conservation areas. i'm given qui, and frank id, i always joined out my new comedies who lived near the woods. the explain how the up wakes and talk about what those each person can do to protect it. therefore reyes a as a young with a, a cartoon or a normal bible study disorder as how to report these incidents. there was a significant reduction in some of these and they get different human activities in

this community. it would say you're bored to turn off or pump starch meshes along, or if i do, you, as gunner continues to lose for us, car, the food and agricultural organization. as a estimates the west african country has the most around 20 percent of its forest areas. in the last 20 years, when we talk about the regulatory agencies like the 1st of the commission, you know, they have some limitations. for example, in terms of logistics to even be able to monita what they were on in the forest. the 1st is that some areas have to be closed. i says suited for as gods ring supervisors and other offices of the 1st to commission. the have these tele useful movements. the non governmental organizations could become key to protecting the 4 raised the rich patch which these things used or key reduce. and then the test also increased co minutes. his interest or willingness to protect

for us is a cause to displeases coleman. it is attention that would be drawn to serious of benefits. that's the defense of i mean d yeah, i see. well, definitely keep campaigning to save the trees. after all, he and his family only have these one forest from which to feed themselves. as for everyone who lives near a gun is woodlands, protecting the forest also secures the wound lives us. oh, and that story takes us to europe. young people who struggle in school or on the job market often locked in demand schools that could help stabilize their lives. but where can they love them? a program in fries teaches carpentry tools, looking for a new start, and gets them qualified to walk with a renewable resource. is doing debates this week

or they might be young, but they feel like they're not moving forward in their lives. a few warm up exercises or at least getting today off to a good start. 23 year old, a lease bundled was dropped out at the university. she wants to do something meaningful. the we much, i'll click on this, i'm on a pre qualification course, so it's only 3 months. and the good thing is that is very, very efficient. these young people age 16 to 25, are looking for new jobs with an ecological focus. the upcoming educational institute near the city of to lose and the south of france trains them for the transition to a greener society. i'm going to send 2017 live without it at the 1st school for ecological transition. we link global challenges to questions like, what do i want to do with my life and where will the money come from? we want to help transition to a more sustainable society like this one,

because it's like what is training for hands on green jobs that are fit for the future. the. there's a range of jobs that have to do with the environment manual john, it's related to ecological transition, such as carpentry, wood, working part of culture and eco construction vehicle so. so this won't be any old hot. instead, guest artist mika is the new, this is creating an airy pavilion, made entirely of recycled wood from pallets used for solar panels. the circular economy of close. already about 20 until schools across france make protecting the environment fun and motivate young people to get back to work for the best way to go. 3 other people who like me, were being reintegrated into the world of work. have also come back here that really shows how much we loved discipline. we own lineup within the doing the as

and when we talk about it here. so it's really great. the is now mixed up with visits. adults tell, well one full of valuable trashes buildings and construction are responsible for a big part of global emissions. and usually the waste result in from demolitions is just dumped a landfill. now, a former u. s. military base in germany is been repub posed with many components districts down a recycled or be used in a new trend, cold or been my name list goes to town in the german city of heidelberg, used to be a bustling us army base housing, nearly $5000.00 people but it's been close for more than a decade, like many old bases around germany, we usually continue to rock or be torn down. instead, this many city is up for

a makeover in his part of a massive urban experiment. while many of the nearly $300.00 buildings here are set to be referred to as those that don't fit into the plans aren't just going to be demolished, they'll be picked apart and their materials will either be recycled or reduced. this technique is called urban mining, a construction trend that's picking up steam around the world. the end of mining concept, we have an urban mining concept based on the idea of a circular city where we treat everything left behind here as though it's a mine. i mean, i mean that's all the guy from voice. you're getting a chuck is heidelberg deputy mer and heads up in the city planning department. some border said they were really lots of resources here. and we want to value these materials and use them to build the new district type on. roughly one 3rd of the buildings will be left standing, gutted and renovated. the rest will be taken down to make space for a denser neighborhood with mixed use buildings,

not just housing. but the special thing about this project is that instead of sending the deconstructed buildings to landfill, the goal is to resell for use or recycle every thing that you can see here, from literally the ground up. all of this represents a new approach to old buildings and goods from the square metering you can avoid building use vast. anything should be reuse, what's improving, how we built things is vital construction accounts for 13 percent of global energy related carbon emissions. and it's not just about putting up buildings when buildings are demolished, they usually end up in landfill. all told construction and demolition account for about one 3rd of all waste in europe. polar been mining sometimes called circular construction, is a new term and has begun to take off in the last 5 to 10 years. it's not a new principle up until the industrial revolution. actually urban mining was very

common. me go show and focuses on the built environment at dutch sustainability, consult and see metabolic during the industrial revolution. and i think that's what we see with a lot of production processes that production became cheaper. the mazda assumption became more common and we kind of let go of we're using what be already have medical it's urban mining efforts include partnering with cities, architects and construction company. i think a very interesting case that we worked on is the building of the dutch national bank. the 14 story skyscraper was entirely disassembled, metabolic, are working with the developer to design a new building from the secondary materials. they've also built in the office park of old house, but it's similar, but mining projects have popped up from switzerland to belgium. and cities in the us are increasingly building material databases and passing laws that require buildings to be deconstructed, not demolished, but urban mining isn't one size fits all. the way we tried to solve the problem

is not the same in different regions in different countries. boucher iran ego research has the built environment and co leads to un sustainable buildings program in the global south for example, they're just starting has many empty houses, offices and shops and some of the global north. but in a way, urban mining is pretty big here. even though people don't necessarily call it that, when you think offering formal sacraments, for instance, they are very sick, you know, in that materials that have been using these informal supplements have been, have had several lives before the end up in, in these informing areas. even if we start cataloging and mining our buildings on a grand scale, will never be able to entirely eliminate the use of new building for us. it's not just about how we deconstruct what's already here. it's also about rethinking how we built. so usually in the building, you design

a building and then you find materials that fits. but if you have to design and with a set of materials, then you really have to shift your way of thinking. i really have also a different position as the architect. this whole process to be more of a assembler of materials, instead of a designer of a building, incentivizing urban mining and making it cheaper will help drive change. but it will still take time of projects like fido bags, patrick henry, village re development or a start. but also show just how much has to change to get with an a smith for those goals? bucked off. we can now what eco friendly fund a our own device in run to a mushroom funding project. pumps. as hope, mushroom funding is low cost and a sustainable the practice of cultivating it requires a minimal land and avoids home for chemicals and v as seen as a nutritious meat or send it to clean the duck. you made interiors of

these hots to become way of bodies to east coast invest enough crop that would have been full for security in glenda. always tough mushrooms. mazda in new york, it's out of india. they hold your hands every whom you did a whole lot and have been cultivated mushrooms for 5 years. did a robot mean? see the rapid growth set them apart from other crops. when i get to retain $9.15 days after cultivation, the mushrooms are ready for sale. well, when i think it is, i'm is i've done one minute with other cups. you often have to wait 5 to 6 months before they can be harvested. but i'll get you over to william with mushrooms and generating revenue within just 2 weeks. you it's in the we have many advantages over all that crap. oh yeah. yeah. we don't. we just have a 100 on any youtube begins at the most out of look on the, on those montgomery bodies to grozis mushroom. soon it will get all my village. one of the 15 villages supported by could gladly funds it's trained around $700.00

small holder farmers and had the heart specifically butte, which the farmers use for free. it also provides them with production and commercialization assistance. the social enterprise was set up by the run. dominique in 2010, previously written on michael jerry in new york. but he wanted to move to i forgot to do something sustainable with the community impact. and then inspiration heat. as the book closed am i see them running home mushrooms going to help save the world. and i thought, yeah, that's, that's too much, you know, how can help them and how can most of them save the world. but i started reading the book and it was very quickly convinced that mushrooms are, it is incredible organisms that can do a lot of good things. if you, you know, if you use them in the right way, they can be good for people's health. you're very healthy. to eat it very nutritious, they can be very good for the environment because they have a tendency to recycle organic matter into something useful. they grow normally

conditions and one the ideal for the causative additional several is that i have to use of mushrooms on the crop is an ideal solution to one of the problems of the country versus the growing population, which currently numbers around 14000000 on the limited availability of valuable land, which encompasses some 1400000 heck tests. this indicates that our current land resources may not advocacy and show up with security for all citizens in the future. however, which will still seems viable solutions for some mushrooms play. a significant role in the secular bio economy and it solves the issue of negative effects that are proper vested use in the long time. that's because it's used as a substrate for mushrooms the guy the funds provide support to local wheat farmers when they have is and then buys the withdrawal, which is then from entered into substitute in the past from us would have bunk deck, real pressure do contributing to air pollution,

the countryside is where you find more agriculture ways that can be converted into mushrooms. so we started with that and then 56 years into it. we started with button mushrooms, no budget mushrooms worldwide is the number one, commercial mushrooms everywhere. it's 90 percent of the of the cultivated mushroom around the world, but it was 0 in rwanda and it's very, very low in african requesting minimal input in terms of costs. london labor mushroom funding is benefiting local communities in one as well as helping decrease emissions. and improve soil quality of the new my passion to mushroom plumbing, stems from the many benefits it's given me the clubs shows really ma'am is it's a growing cycle, takes around 3 amount of discussions. but even once it's finished, mushroom substrate lies rotating residual value food, and we can use that as a high quality man, which is ideal for various crowds, especially vegetables. so the harvest is good for food. and i love local as

a menu say, what hunchback to the on the slides is which the great and the soil comments. and the way we chatted with the local to the to be what small mushrooms are increasingly seen as an affordable, unhealthy food and much more environmentally friendly social, $42.00, starting to meet instead of having your hamburger with beef in it, you could have a vegetarian burger with the, with the mushroom, and that's just as delicious, much healthier for you and the shelter for the planets. mushroom funding fits well with the one the government's plans to make ugly. gotcha claimants smart. i would say to you, we didn't go to the design because i'm going to keep what could i'm waiting to integrate climate smart agriculture into agriculture policy goals with, along with the teachers will promote sustainable then environmentally friendly farming methods. we aim to support all forms of agricultural funding that generates

organic fertilizers. this approach not only aids in combating the impacts of climate change, but also diversifies our reliance would be on mushrooms. you won't have doing any results for so what i'm going to need to date. and the mean that we submitted, we submitted benefits for the environment. mushroom funding is helping one to meet the targets of reducing greenhouse gas emission by nearly 40 percent by the end of the deacon. on this report takes us to send a go. plastic waste like this is a huge environmental problem, both online, um, etc. and the last city is hundreds of millions of tons of 8. i've been picked up from b t. so around the world. new environmental laws got a list load of types of plastic debris washing up on out shows. plus the food packaging is also simply discarded. now a number of $70.00, restaurants are lead charlie salting these things out

every morning. so i need the heads down to your beach in the car. but before he gets in the water, he stops off to pick up the plastic line around. dan has a big side coffee and 3 months ago he became a member of a senegalese association. that helped restaurants, cuts down on plastic. lucy, the committed to this course because i walk on the beach applies. oh, my activities take place here on a librium with deputy affected by pollution and we are on the front line of fighting plastic and waste come back to that's what what you've read to me to become part of the 0 waste initiative around the issue. not only makes coffee within his personal machine instead of using plastic cup, so he has to play single use straws with metal once he's completely done away with

plastic. and that means he qualifies for 30 waste, senegal labels setup in 2021. the association now has around a 100 members across the country all and he is like mario and she will finish here and up the license run to the cob branch of civil way. 62 restaurants have joined the initiative, half of them in the capital. when level has it been that as of to yet we go back to the restaurants to see how it's going. been because he asked them some questions at the end of the day and we make sure they're still using a tennessee used to plastic. and what does they want to get to get more labeled by law cnn level? so that's how we follow up on this, on what they need to get, but they they also reach out to other restaurants that might be interested in joining the initiative. records provided by the 62 places already on board, allow them to estimate how much plastic has been saved over the last 3 years.

the impacts as well as the impact on the environment is concerned. we try to measure as well as we can. how much plastic waste has been avoided by the switch to a ton of tv. uh was the sofa. it's been a 106000 fuel single use rolled up around 46000 fuel plastic bottles and 32000 fuel coffee cup tools. but you know, directly, even if it doesn't look like much for the individual restaurants, if you add it all up, the impact of 60 restaurants is significant. so the next one is on those as opposed to then how many small restaurants and st. what's told in the cost, so take away food only. usually in plastic containers for the time being they don't have much choice of no human, but i mean they go by. i'd like to stop using plastic because it's not good for the

environment. but a plastic bag that you put in cardboard packaging, then you put in. that's why some sellers wins by degradable packaging puts up that prizes 5 or more friends of the plastic problem needs to be addressed by politicians. saves lawyer. mama duty in plastic is only the cheapest option and people down to the garbage on the beach promenade in dot com lou from the academy in front of me. the trouble is that in the informed economy, plus people use plastic packaging to sell their project through. if it's not the problem, but the state needs to take action and raised the public awareness of plastic leaks or oper, lot profitably that feel it remember lacrosse, did issue. what people need to understand that it's such a switch to the environment as for biodiversity level and also to future generation . the i produce at the moment it's not the government but grass roots groups like

0 with center. that how lucky to raise awareness and chuckles. the problem, do you know about initiatives like lease in your country or did anything else in the show cost you attention? well, please write to us on eco as the the com would love to hear what you think and also a good experience. now it is a good 5 for me, sandra holmes, that we nobody of right yet uncomfortable. you get a from me, chris alone. same idea. thanks for joining us. don't forget to head to d, w dot com slash eco offer golf for moiz, byron stories. so you all again, next time the, the
