for me that yeah, do you need something that is coming very, very soon? we know when the story in for migrate reliable needs to migrate wherever they may be, the the chaise produce the oxygen we need to breeze. 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 components of the ecosystem, as well as those who are walking with the forest. i am sandra holmes,
8:31 pm
that we never do end joining me on these edits of the vehicle off of the ease. of course, my colleagues, chris ellens, all the way in this area and the world. welcome from me to here in lake us. and i'm thankful for the j 2 shades. these 3 is i provided me today and i also have what's coming up wastes prevention, how liberal in 70 goals, restaurants, helps to reduce plastic use. and why mushroom hogs up popping up on the above run. let's big gainesville and gone to there are 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 10 forest conservation gone. the last move stuff, it's woodlands now. so suitable for us, the advocates are raising local people's awareness about but not to results
8:32 pm
the scene of the crime with a fed treatise because secretly chopping down trees. but with thank just are we given any inquiry and frank at the d wants to protect the gun as far as and they've succeeded here in the restaurant to region. a steeple gave me to my illegal and it's a report from one of the monitors that i truly bought about. we stopping them for maintenance, and we realized that this might inactivity let me know i was commission, knew nothing about it. so when we got to the north commission involved the actually 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 there remains us through this. so at least oh, the lights are very, very useful. frank and i didn't live close by back then. curious,
8:33 pm
be alone on up on his cell phone lets him report illegal, logging and forest fires. the report is sent directly to the headquarters of civic response. gonna be and you started the monitoring program. it's and then informed the authorities so that they can respond to direct to me is this all this into pieces already? it has to interprets it. so we have the web and stuff. isn't that of that mobile interface? the mobile interface is basically for reporting for this the boxes and that is used as a one to community. i'm 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 behind the real part of my face. and we need to be no more. we used to be able to hunt and get the animal production we saw the
8:34 pm
destruction of a forest has deprived as of all of these things. these have had and they get to the fact that when a livelihood your reading doesn't to used to be a problem either. but it's now there is hardly enough reading for across or below. but people are cutting the trees with chainsaws. let you know that bending them to make chuckle. yeah. so we are really suffering. will you think? i might, you know, rubin will hop by 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 thing, civic response, guidance, monthly meetings. the group is not active throughout the country. it's for risk conservation areas. i'm given we in front of id, i always joining the new. com is who lived near the woods. the explain how the up wakes and talk about what those each person can do to protect it. therefore, res. as a young with a, a cartoon or a normal biomass do they do as how to recall these incidents. there was
8:35 pm
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 measures along . or if i do, you, as gunner continues to lose for us car, the food and agricultural organization, f e o. estimates the west african country has the most around 20 percent of its forest areas. in the last 20 years. when you talk about the religious audience, it's like the front 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 for us is that some areas have to be close to. i says. so the 4 is that ring supervisors and other offices of the 1st 2 commission. you have these telling use of movement. the non governmental organizations could become key to protecting the 4 raised the rich patch which these things used. okay. awesome,
8:36 pm
reduce. and then the task also increased cool minutes. his interest or willingness to protect for us is a cause to displeases communities, attendance and that would be drawn to serious of benefits. that's the defense of i mean, d yeah, a 60 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 own lives. the next 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 coventry tools, looking for a new start, and gets them qualified to walk with a renewable resource. it is
8:37 pm
a doing debates basic the 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 on the spot, the what was dropped out at the university. she wants to do something meaningful. the english, 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 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 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?
8:38 pm
we want to help transition to a more sustainable society like this one causes why quarters training for hands on green jobs that are fit for the future. yeah, he's on it. so 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, harder, culture and eco construction vehicle so. so this won't be any old hot. instead, guest artist mika, is the new, 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 because that's what it is. all 3 other people who like me, were being reintegrated into the world of work have also come back here that really
8:39 pm
shows how much we loved discipline. we own lineup with the in the as and when we talk about it here. so it's really great. the is now mixed up with visits. adults town, well, one full of valuable trashes buildings and construction are responsible for big pots of global emissions. and usually the waste result in from demolitions is just dumped a lot of fields. now a former u. s. military base in germany is been repub, posed with many components districts down recycled or reused in a new trend, cold or brand my name, a biscuit ghost town in the german city of heidelberg, used to be a bustling u. s. army base housing, nearly 5000 people but it's been closer more than a decade. like many old bases around germany would usually continue to rock or be
8:40 pm
torn down. instead, this many city is up for a makeover in this 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 view. most of your 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 mile and i can be sweet in a minute and that's all the guy from voice. you're getting a chuck is hydro bigs deputy mer and heads up in the city planning department, some board and said they were really lots of resources here. and we want the value of 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
8:41 pm
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. all of this represents a new approach to old buildings and goods. they put the square meter and you can avoid building use best. 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 on building is, are demolished, they usually end up in landfill, all told construction and demolition account for about one 3rd of all the 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
8:42 pm
common. me go shout and focuses on the built environment at dutch sustainability, consult and see metabolic during the industrial revolution. i think that's what we see with a lot of production processes that production became cheaper. mazda consumption became more common, and we kind of let go of, we're using what we already have. metabolic urban mining efforts include partnering with cities, architects and construction companies. i think a very interesting case that we worked on is the building of the dodge 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 an office park out of old house, but it's similar been mining projects that 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,
8:43 pm
but are being 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 and the global sales. for example, there just aren't as many empty houses office as in shops as i'm a global north. but in no way urban mining is pretty big here. even though people don't necessarily call it that, when you think of informal 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 of, 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. it's not just about how we deconstruct what's already here. it's also about rethinking how we
8:44 pm
built to, usually in the building, you design a building and then you find materials that fits. but if you have to design and it's 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 similar of materials instead of a design, there was a building incentivizing urban mining and making it cheaper. we'll help drive change, but it will still take time projects like fido bags, patrick henry, village, redevelopment or a start, but also showed just how much has to change to get with an a smith of those goals. back to us, we can now what eco friendly funding our own device in run to a mushroom funding project problem says hope mushroom funding is low cost and a sustainable the proxies of cultivating it requires a minimum of land and avoids home for chemicals, and they are seen as a nutritious meat oats on it to clean the duck. you made interiors of
8:45 pm
these huts, some a gumble bodies to east coast invest enough crop that would help simple for security in glenda or you stuff. mushroom mazda in. yep. its on we can get you over here and it was when you did all that. and i have been cultivating mushrooms for 5 years. did a robot mincey the rapid growth set them apart from other crops. when you know we team $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 them. we love with mushrooms and generating revenue within just 2 weeks. you did the we have many advantages over all that crap. oh yeah. yeah. we don't. we just have a honda. i need you to hand that to one of them. was that a real gun on those? say montgomery bodies to grozis mushroom seems a little girl. i'm
8:46 pm
a village. one of the 15 feet of just supported by keep got the funds. it's trained around $700.00 small hole to 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 ran on michael dreary 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 and 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 it can help the help. and 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. they are very healthy to eat the very nutritious. they can be very good for the environment because they have
8:47 pm
a tendency to recycle organic matter into something useful. they are good normally conditions and one the ideal for the code division of samples that i have to use of mushrooms and the crop is an ideal solution to one of the problems the country 1st is the growing population. which cutting claim numbers around 14000000 on the limited availability of how they belonged, which encompasses some 1400000 hectares. this indicates that our current land resources may not advocacy and show up with security for all citizens in the future. however, we shall still seems viable solutions just for some mushrooms play a significant role in the circle of bio economy. it solves the issue of negative effects that are crop 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 into the into substrate. in the past from us would have bump
8:48 pm
that group residues 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, know bunch of 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 rhonda and it's very, very low in africa requesting minimal input in terms of cost london labor mushroom funding is benefiting local communities in one as well as helping decrease emissions. and improve soil quality of the new my passions and measuring plumbing stems from the many benefits. it's given me the club shows really ma'am, is that still growing cycle takes around, sorry. you know, it's crucial. but even once it's finished, mushroom substrate retain residual value food and we can use it as high quality
8:49 pm
manager, which is ideal for various crowds, especially vegetables. so the harvest is good to food and i love the cool as a menu, say what the hunchback to the on the slides is which the great and the soil comments and the quote hallowell. we chatted with the local for to be what small mushrooms are increasingly seen as an affordable, unhealthy food, and much more environmentally friendly social floating, stunned meat. instead of having your hamburger with beef in it, you can 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 that one. the government's plans to make ugly. gotcha claimants. much particular do. we didn't go easy to design because i'll mention the tooth work, claim wayne to integrate climate smart agriculture into agriculture policy go to do with along with the teachers will promote sustainable lighting,
8:50 pm
environmentally friendly farming methods. we aim to support all forms of agriculture or funding generate organic, fertilize us. this approach not only aids in combating the impacts of climate change, but also diversifies our reliance would be on mushrooms. you wouldn't have doing any reasonable for so long. and i mean, he didn't even need to, we could reach it either way with it. so many benefits for the environment. mushroom funding is how things one to meet you to get to freed using 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,
8:51 pm
a number of $70.00 restaurants are lead charlie salting these things out of the every morning. so i need the heads down to your peachy. com. but before he gets into water, his tops off to pick up the plastic line around. john has a big side cafe and 3 months ago, he became a member of a senegalese association that help restaurants, capstone on plastic literacy. they want to say a committed to this course because a walk on the beach applies. oh, my activities take place here on a librium, we a deputy affected by pollution and we're 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 came out only makes coffee within his personal machine instead of
8:52 pm
using plastic cups hills, he has replaced single used tools 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, osborne and he is like mario and she will finish here and up. license will run to the cobb branch of civil rights. 62 restaurants have joined the initiative, half of them in the capital. when liberties have been that us 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 more labeled by ma, 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
8:53 pm
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 a sofa. it's been a 106000 fuel single use rolls around, 46000 fuel plastic bottles and 32000 fuel coffee cup tools by 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 on the back homes on the side of the 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 non human, but i mean they go by,
8:54 pm
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 sell as we inspired to political 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 or do something. does it simply mean cutting my problem in the trouble is that in the informed economy, plus people use plastic packaging to sell the project will go through. if it's all the problem, the district needs to take action and raised the public awareness of plastic waste outputs laptop without doing it. remember lacrosse, that issue. people need to understand that it took events to the environment as fulton biodiversity level and also to future generations. and the guy i produce
