is coming to making money, having fun when not fails, and so i'm seeing stuff, september 19th on d, w. the human activity is driving climate change while many of force don't know exactly what we personally can do to minimize our negative impact on the planets. in fact, we can do a lots such as reducing the individual carbone footprint, or we're using results as we can also learn from others. was such a good example. i will meet at some of them on this week. so i have proof of loans in lagos, nigeria. good to have you with us. here's what's coming up. turn in plastic,

wait for the 2 children to converting vacant offices to solve the global housing crisis. and how are you getting done? raise your manager has worked to 1000 kilometers for clean messages without press for full. it takes us to know the gun. now with the period between eli july, late august is the link the season is a time when foot starts running low and many face hung up for the security is on the west. and by the kind of severe drugs that the region, this current li, grappling with what farmers needs are a zillion prompts and they've, they have high nutritional value to that's even better. thankfully the us to feel cold. so for minutes left, as it is all duty way libya, lum bone has to feed her grandchildren. and that's how many somebody is in jean

valley. northern gunna are in the same position. the mainland girl mays arise the next. obviously still a few weeks away and supplies are running low. then there is the prolonged draught . many peanut plants of we did some of the mays to where rice is not much wearing at the largest hospital in the region to baptist medical center in a letter who many patients my ne, a cs. so my law is expecting a baby son and like half of the pregnant women here, she's suffering from anemia. blood has to fuel red blood cells because she doesn't have enough to eat. don't want diane mental and when a new day breaks. if i am lucky, a 3 times at worst, only once i was pregnant women with a name, you're lucky,

important neutrons. so they often give birth to my notice to children. 2 year old bist mux house has watson over the past 5 months. he's lost more weight and he's always tired. he's just one of the 15 children being treated. he a full acute model nutrition. this marcus, uh, not as me. and the me to a bomb. simple phrase is 9.2. we sure that he's i can, this is really nice slumber and multiple guy, and he's finally doing all the con to produce more fluid waiting either from us to helping the amazing survive the draught is funny, is already harvesting. that's because the planted problem meal it, it's phone, all of the maids and these more resistant to draw it. now the number i go some of that according funding these copies. good. it really has any household around this time or the those who refuse to grow millet and all regretting that

decision on quite a while a lot i look at the bulk of my oldest depend on neat every year and it never fails to be honest. and i was told by them by the local and i mean the 7 point gentleman was down with that of the canadian government as a long promoted the code division of amazing rise of the expense of millet. this is because the used by heck to a significantly higher for mays, for example, the country only produces around 200000 tons of mill it annually. and more than 15 times as much mays as recommended by the government funded a down. yeah, higher growth. rise in mays, but he's watered that he's due to a suffer due to the draught. he's also tried me let's but because he's fields are in constant use. the sewing is to depleted for me that he will have practice those twice. and we assume that there's also a tablet here. so you've got wanted to me is some of them later when we do,

but it's not always our case studies for this, but if i did this, not more like it used to be. so let's, let's go out on that ice the nice and some of the, the new varieties of problem elliptical solve the problem that being propagated here in the test fields at the savannah agriculture while researching is due to the northern gunner varieties that contrive despite depleted size and that's even better adopted to draw it way again with the green bay as well as will be that to be able to do with where miss will not stand. let those come in is if it's required for the quantities of the inputs entails upfront, like you does prim and that fails within it, then this new variety is going to be stored at a causal of the institute right now. it's almost empty because the new millet is being analyzing the loved or the samples. i've already been sent to some 5000 firms

that cost more than gunner for trials. the feedback has mostly been good. meanwhile, i'm one multiple guy and he's for me to have almost completed the military list. they're still using a tradition of a variety of positives. and yet the prophets did 600 kilos in 2 weeks without the use of getting calls more than enough to bridge these short lean season where there is no means for me to come even. so the millet and in the meantime focus on mays which will need, can be caused by devices. don't down go babylon, done about that and putting out it. we finished harvesting the meal it on of this a planted some these on this end for you to be able to do a little bit a little in 2 weeks time or will apply for the lives of them in the plans that are already looking good. now part of the local or that the the nearby gym but is,

will you be the amount of the straight food because no have enough millet to cook. traditional deep fry bowls made from millet, what a liquid or sugar it is, a popular, decent, affordable at around 5 bureaus. sense above the reach of mute fence like ion and magnesium and that's multiple so how does it relate to is a healthy meal itself when it is gunning? no one sprays the chemical so need that kind of so it's good for our health pilot mill. it to may still be the on the diagram on gunners crops, but it has the potential to really improve the countries for security. is turned up to the challenges of changing climate next to the move to south africa for this weeks, go in your bits. it's pretty amazing how much time to move from recycled plastic, bought to such as bricks, clothes, and funny to all sorts of things. in cape town,

we found the company that those 10 in the very to children's boys. it's a great example of the fall. so if you like kind of me works. the little boy in my driver's seat is mclean. d meconium. he's 5 years old and quite stunned. as you can see, i'm a toy scooter. what you can see is what i used to be. i was one's plastic bottles and no containers like the waste was destined for landfill. all the i can see south africa produces $92.00 and a half 1000000 tons of plastic waste each year. around one 7th of it is recycled to about the recycling fantastic plastics. in cape town, the waste is shredded and folds into the elements on nato. on a warning,

it's about to get complicated. through the process of analyzing it through the small daniels, then it gets wash. it gets a dried, it gets these the top. it gets shipped into a concert, it's through the help of it gets excluded. it gets pin size or depending on the system is put through view. that was the last time for a show right to play a $180.00 degree 10 is one of the country's top tricks is in the meantime, the pilots still have to be meltdown. then this cool mold shapes my individual parts to manufacturer a used to improve toys from china. but it was too expensive side of the company started making their own speeches from recycled plastic and using some of the power to, to save money. what made me use the cycle material was cost or these need,

but just purely based on cost. how do we make our product as cost effective as possible for the market to accept all product? the repurposed waste is off the price of new plastic. my kind of wheels do you need fresh plastic? they wouldn't mix bryant's otherwise. apparently i'm at least 90 percent recycled. and i'm proud to say i can be purchased at africa's largest supermarket chain. i cost between $9.00 and $20.00 depending on the model. incidentally, my design is based on the scriptures that deliver groceries in many south african cities. what can the hasn't been bored since we've been playing together these past 3 years? and that's happy to be loved it so much. he's always. if i did not around, i think he to be experience or for he's 50 caught truly driving a car for you the up to

a completely different topic now and 2 buildings these days. many office buildings around the world have high vacancy rates. this is partly due to the number of people working from home since the global covey pen demik. and at the same time, there's a housing prices and safe is everywhere because of verizon rates. once alicia could be to convert those on use offices into homes. if you live in a city, there's a pretty good chance are living through a housing crisis. rent in the major cities are skyrocketing, and this is happening all around the world. at the same time, housing has grown scarce. some building stand empty, downtown signed for it looks like just about any other big city central business.

public leaving high rises do high the new larvae fact. nearly 10 percent of the city is offices are facing. other major cities around the globe have vacancy rates that high or even higher. so why don't we just convert empty offices into housing for people worldwide? for many of us are back in the office, working from home is here to stay. for instance, 35 percent of us workers who can work from home still do, and plenty only come into the office on occasion. but if they can, workspaces are entering new problem. long before the pandemic eating officers were already becoming less desirable. it hasn't been for about the last 10 years of the trend of the cold flight to call it to you. stephen painter, in architect that one of the world's biggest firms, focuses on adaptive reuse. people when, when you're in a lease is an older buildings are going to the new laws that will be built because they offer that kind of amenities kind of locations,

people and all these empty officers aren't just to waste of space. they mean less rent for owners, lower tax revenue for cities and the decline of entire neighborhoods. we have beautiful buildings. we have a wonderful plaza as we have sort of all of the physical assets. we just have vacant buildings. and so you don't see that vibrancy used to, you know, kind of look down these key car doors, and you would see just streams of people, you know, coming down the street. and you don't see that as much anymore. literally along the leaves of planner in san francisco, another studio dressing high vacancies almost 95 percent of our tax revenue comes from business tax from downtown, about 80 percent of our g. d. p. came from from downtown companies in 2021. it is our economic engine, and so it needs to strive so the city can thrive. roughly one 3rd of offices are vacant in san francisco. the 3rd most expensive housing market in the us. at the

same time, the ongoing construction of new housing is causing a whole different host of problems. ready in order to meet climate targets, but also other sustainability targets, we will need to actually stick with what's already built into a hug that researches urban sustainability at stock homes. royal institute of technology. even if this new production of housing and buildings is done with very energy efficient and an optimized technologies, this won't be enough. we will also need to reduce the total amount of new production. and this is what brings us to frankfurt. i checked out an ongoing conversion project. an office tower built in the 90s will soon be reborn, is around $150.00 furnished apartments. then you mean all brush the developers regional european head is excited about adaptive reuse. the data for the

environmental factors obvious since the building show is already standing. answer the shell alone, usually accounts for about 50 percent of emissions during construction. it's a, a fairly significant portion of the title, but it doesn't only save on emissions. re vamping and office building can be up to 30 percent cheaper and construction can be done in half the time. though that depends on the project. this one wasn't much cheaper than a new build, but speed play the big part of the tide for i think the time factor is really critical. it allows us to start generating rental income through the property pretty quickly. re purposing an old building to serve a new function, it's called adaptive reuse, and can extend to structures life. think of turning old factories into artist slots or warehouses into ubiquitous street food holes. retrofitting and existing structure is a lot more complicated than planning everything from scratch that you can create between 6 and 7000000 new homes. but just turning offices into apartments isn't

going to be enough. neighborhoods that are just office box can be a bit inhospitable calling with finance bro, his by day or thing. it goes by day or thing. it the ghost towns outside of business hours, insurance people live, not just work. there. could change that this neighborhood of frankfort, mito god, which developed as a sprawl instead of offices in the sixties and seventies, given the wild be creative nickname of the people stop for office city, but by the mid to thousands, nearly one in 3 of the offices were sitting in, in 2006, the city began converting the mc office powers into housing creating through mixed use development. now it's still good places to live shop and go to school instead of just places to work. frankfurt rezone area and turn the parking lots and the green spaces and kindergartens. it brought in developers to build apartments and shots. when they're done, they'll be 6000 apartments here. the other stuff and they leave now that the areas

livelier, the officers that actually become more attractive of and so it's easier to rent them out of people the size to come meetings as best on the canadian city of calgary, started working with painter to revitalize its downtown in 2021, the calorie had about 5 to 8 percent but you can see in their office not here. and i was of the time one of the worst and the, well, i think very quickly actually for our program together, which gives you $75000.00 square foot to combine the building and move forward with the red tape out of the way to make these projects move more quickly and the 1st 5 projects and now under construction, represents about 750 new homes. and they have 10 more approved painters as much of this housing will be affordable and built with families in mind . thanks to the financial incentives provided by the city. a doctor for use often has even more red tape the new builds that will have to change it for going to use has potential to curve emissions. so in terms of where i am as an example, is

a role in the downtown that you cannot bring to your office space is protected as employment months that was created in the seventy's and then just never got back to it because it, there was no need to change it on now there's a desperate need to change and that's, that's kind of holding up. these projects happening such arbitrary regulations are quite common and approval for conversions often takes as long as it would for a new build. even though the structure is already in place, since that are 1st office conversion, projects have gone well, then you mean all right, thanks. it's verbal focus more on adaptive 3 years. many developers have shown interest in these projects in cities like san francisco are supporting office conversions, be kind of support offered to me, determine the type of housing we get, flipping offices into housing is clearly no quick fix and it's not gonna solve the global housing crisis. overnight footprint per in calgary, do show it can make cities vastly more livable and it can drastically reduce the environmental impact of relying solely on new build. the

active as the next report is the radio mileage. you come paula, uganda. but joseph, the young guy is best known for his company, but to improve is for its safety, especially for children in those that starts with changing all the tubes. and the idea of getting away from the idea that driving is back to that, walk it up because the city is getting more and more crowded by 2050. the number of city 3 less is 6, almost people to 1500000000. and the city just to kill us is growing along with them. has last season trucks a big lift everywhere and go to this us fumes. legal title track. and john spikes are among the most pretty to african cities, fits rates due to a, a police shooting up because is twice as high as the global average baby cities on

the continent. a having trouble finding a solution. you can just copy to comp, i wouldn't mind joseph b and guess he's tired of it. the trust the continued city has customer life last year alone. someone 1600. it is, teens died, intrinsic accidents. in addition, many have died. well, gotten sick from the party to a we have very many, very close on the road. most of them not in a good condition. they put didn't go to humans, which bundled to good for even the people who are working with living in the city. whereby we are kidding people. every day we need to rethink and prevent design is city that is fearful. they won't hear. so gonna position words that come from us the way we didn't safely this. so this morning, joe, look as he is known as social media, is joining us there, which is income product to promote non motorized transport as

a way of reducing emissions. decline as a pilots in template added cost is owns. so we failed to twice that if we can promote the 90 more to the $40.00 for us, but 60 and then we're setting credit to get into what people didn't give them. how did the benefits so doesn't anymore today is the kind of transportation become good . more than half of companies will finish a lot on site because this is probably the 3rd, which is a doctor from one motorized transport into the tool. which is it was about 10 to 9 years later, the pilot freeze on was commissioned income pine. it stretches closer to 2 meters, being assistant enough for the cities, but the nature of more than $3000000.00. 1 of the things i'd love to see in a compaq is right from the influence of the cbd. just the, the busiest zone call free zone. it should be coverage. if you're going to come

into the city. the most you can do is cycle just cycle friend. so i just say holding the bus to us just cycle into the city. that is very safe for everybody. that is still for people who are cycling. it's safe for the people who are within the city. many gardens associates driving with status banjo wants to change the mindset that to working on cycling is only for the poor or he's reading the message in schools. i have an accident. what we, we that good crushes, we have an accident. and so many students, good in that, that somebody's petitions like my kid a university, i'm not going to do is to clean them ability to replace motorized transfer on campus. i just wish how it would be, how to look if this breaks where in the city imagine, oh, come part of the beautiful come power not to be choking. come power,

not to be having the depths. yes. yeah. oh no, no steroids. the end is always competing for clean systems as a professional broadcast, he knows how to use the media effectively. other things, each one of us has a good something to do. the way they can do it based is awareness, raise awareness. point other issues that need to be done and let somebody do the intervention being done will be like close in citizens in bucklin at 220 kilometers actually visit more to the east of composite the 6. the jenny was his 2nd attempt to complete hundreds of kilometers on foot. participants enjoyed plenty of health benefits in the process. i thought it was kind of interesting close to pick mean sick, but also working helps me from my health, a busy clarity of mind. but when you, where you identify with people what they like, how they behave,

what they are putting into the likes being that you probably never have boobs up when you're driving and joe walker. he's convinced that with small strides to take the message from one step by the time he hopes to lead, you can get a safe, brighter, and cleaned upon. well, good luck to have. if you liked the reports or ha, something you would like to share about anything else in the show, then please write to us at eco, a. d, w dot com would love to hear what you think for now it's good bye for me. chris lives in nigeria. thanks for watching. don't forget to head to eco offered the online for boys byron stories. so you again, next time the
