the what do you think to cancel or do you have any relevance to you? let us know when the com, the, the phase produce the oxygen we need to breeze. they predict the soil and provide a home for animals and fun. and the water is a precious renew for result the we have some money to sustainably. so today we meet all sorts of people involved in supporting these vital components of the eco system, as well as those who are walking with the forest. i am sandra holmes between the
5:31 am
video and joining me on these edits of the vehicle off because ease of course, my colleagues, chris ellen's, 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 a little above one. let's big gainesville and gone to the various drivers of deforestation among them. illegal sales are protected in the adult. in many cases, there are communities, sole source of income was a probably a not for can forest conservation gone as last move. so if it's woodlands now, so suitable for us, the advocates are raising local peoples awareness about but not to result
5:32 am
this theme of the crime with a fed treatise because secretly chopping down trees. but with the increased are we was given in inquiry and frank at the de wants to protect the gun as far as and they've succeeded here in the restaurant to region. people came to mind illegal and it's a report from one of the monitors that i truly bought about. we had spoken them for maintenance 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 is only a portion of the far east where they also grow vegetables and pump oil trees. yeah, behind on the real point, it's more facing, we need to be no more. we used to be able to hunt and get onto more products,
5:33 am
and then we saw the destruction of a forest has deprived as of all of these things. these have had and they get even effect like when a livelihood or the i or ring doesn't to used to be a problem either. but now there is hardly enough room for across or below, but, and people are cutting the trees with chainsaw. so i'll let you know 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 area is given the queen in front of id. i always joining the 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 or as a young with a what do normal by must do. they do is how to report these incidents. there was
5:34 am
a significant reduction in some of these and they get to for human activities in this community. it would say you're bored to turn off work on such measures along or if i do, you, as gunner continues to lose for us, car, the food and agriculture 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 the commission, you know, you 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 close to. i says, so the 4 as gods ring supervisors and other offices of the 1st 2 commission. you have these telling useful movement. 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 tests also
5:35 am
increased co minutes. his interest or willingness to protect for us is a, goes through this process called minute is attendance and 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, you 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. our 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 front teaches carpentry tools, looking for a new start, and gets them qualified to walk with a renewable resource. it is
5:36 am
a 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 lease bundled was dropped out at the university. she wants to do something meaningful. the we much real quick is 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 in the south of france trainings them for the transition to a greener society. i'm going to in 2017 without at, at the 1st school for ecological transition. we link global challenges to questions
5:37 am
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 home causes headquarters. 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 the carpentry, wood, working part of culture and eco construction vehicle. so this won't be any old hot. instead guest artist me, guy on the news is creating an airy pavilion made entirely of recycled wood from pallets used for solar panels. the circular economy of close, already about 20, into the 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
5:38 am
shows how much we loved discipline. we own lineup within 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 landfill. 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 been 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 close for more than a decade, like many old bases around germany. so it usually continue to rock or be torn down
5:39 am
. 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 minus a construction trend that's picking up steam around the world view, mountain view and 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 my i v i n a media and basketball. the guy from voice you're getting a chunky is heidelberg deputy mer and heads up, did 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 building, so the left standing gutted and renovated as the rest will be taken down to make
5:40 am
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. all of this represents a new approach to old buildings and goods the day for me. square metering you can avoid building use vast anything should be reuse and proving 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 and build is, are demolished, they usually end up in landfill, all told construction and demolition account for about one 3rd of all waste in europe. paul, ever 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
5:41 am
a new principle up until the industrial revolution. actually urban mining was very 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. medical it's 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 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 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,
5:42 am
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. osha, iran, he go to 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, office 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 informed 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 do construct what's already here. it's also about rethinking how
5:43 am
we built to, 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 an architect, this whole process to be more of a assembler of materials instead of a design, there was a building, incentivizing urban mining and making it cheaper will help drive change. but it will still take time projects like fido backs, patrick henry, village re development or a start, but also show just how much has to change to get with an a smith of those goals. but to african. now what eco friendly fund day are on the rise in run to a mushroom funding project. pumps is 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
5:44 am
a nutritious meat or send it to clean the duck meat. interiors of these hots, some of gumbo bodies to east coast invest enough crop that would have been sold for security in glenda. always tough mushroom mazda in the economy and give you a hint that 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 find, you know, we clean 9 and 15 days after cultivation, the mushrooms are ready for sale. well, when i think it is, i'm, is that done? well, i mean with the 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 it's in the, we have many advantages over all that crap. oh yeah. yeah. no, that's not the one i need you to be in that to. one of them was that look on the on those say montgomery bodies to groceries. mushroom. soon it will get all my village
5:45 am
. one of the 15 villages supported by keep got the funds. it's trained around $700.00 small home 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 lauren 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, or the book go close them. 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 on the hook and mushroom save the world. but i started reading the book and i 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 very nutritious,
5:46 am
they can be very good for the environment because they have 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 on the crop is an ideal solution to one of the problems of the country versus the growing population. which cutting claim numbers around 14000000 on the limited availability of valuable land, which encompasses some 1400000 heck to has this in the case that our current land resources may not advocacy and show for security for all citizens in the future. however, we shall still seems viable solutions for some mushrooms play, a significant role in the secular bio economy. it solves the issue of negative effects that are crap invested use in the long time. that's because it's use of 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 bunk
5:47 am
deck, real press to 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 rhonda and it's very, very low in african requesting minimal input in terms of cost london, labor mushroom funding is benefiting local communities again $1.00 to as well as helping decrease emissions and improve soil quality of the overhead seems to be from you my passion to mushroom plumbing stems from the many benefits. it's given me the eta and so i was showing ma'am, is that still growing cycle takes around, sorry. you know, it's crucial. but even once it's finished, mushroom substrate goes retain residual value food and we can use it as
5:48 am
a high quality manager and which is ideal for various crowds, especially vegetables. so the harvest is good, food and local as a menu say what the hunchback to the on the slides is which the great and the soil comments and the well controlled with the vocal folds between 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 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 very easy to design because i mentioned to keep what claim waiting to integrate climate, smart agriculture and to agriculture policy goals with, along with the teachers will promote sustainable then environmentally friendly
5:49 am
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 with the on mushrooms you wouldn't have doing. and it was on the 1st one going to mean she didn't even mean that we did today to we would it submitted benefits for the environment. mushroom funding is helping one to meet targets of 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 at sea and the last city is hundreds of millions of tons of age. i've been picked up from b t so around the world. new environmental laws got a list load of types of plastic debris watching up on out shows. plus the food packaging is also simply discarded. now,
5:50 am
a number of $70.00 restaurants are lead shirley salting these things out of the every morning. so i need the heads down to your beach in the car, but before he gets into water, he's tops off to pick up the plastic line around. john has a big side coffee and a few months ago he became a member of a senegalese association that help restaurants, capstone on plastic literacy. the committed to this course because i walk on the beach applies. oh my activities take place here on a live broom. we are directly affected by pollution and we are on the front line of fighting plastic and waste come back to that's what and what you've read to me to become part of the 0 waste initiative around you. not only makes coffee within his personal machine instead of using plastic cup,
5:51 am
so he has to play single use 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 all and he is like mario and she will finish here and up. license will run to the cop branch of the release. 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 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 mean. okay. but they they also reach out to other restaurants that might be interested in joining the initiative. records provided by the 62 places
5:52 am
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 rolled up 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 on up, the impact of 60 restaurants is significant. so the next one is the most of them. many small restaurants and st would stalls in the cost. so take away food only. usually in plastic containers for the time being they don't have much choice of human, but i mean they go by,
5:53 am
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 and that's why some sell as we inspired to critical packaging, put up the prizes 5 or more friends on the plastic problem needs to be addressed by politicians. saves lawyer. mama duty in plastic is only the cheapest option and people dump that garbage on the beach promenade in dot com. lou from the bottom of the trouble is that in the informed economy, plus people use plastic packaging to sell their product over through. it's how the problem does this take needs to take action and raised the public awareness of plastic waste proper lot, profitably that fuel it remember lacrosse, that issue. people need to understand that it's such a switch to the environment as fulton, biodiversity levels and also to future generation. the i for truth
5:54 am
at the moment. it's not the government, but grassroots groups like 0 with center. those that are working to raise awareness and chuckles the problem. do you know bold 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 nobody of right yet in comfortable. 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
