2:30 pm
and your generation was asleep as and then wind generation smash watch. now on you tube b, w w mentioned this kind of fun. it feels like therapy, the environment faces multiple stretch. most of them off or result of human activities that have a slightly damage into effect on the world around those. and there are really no quick fixes. but the, today's show will see how people find good ways to make the most awful, bad situation of finding positives. i have crystal lens and legal spikes area. great to have you with us. and he has what's coming up. what the migratory birds
2:31 pm
got. tell us about climate change on the basic plans to be, she can be turned into high quality annual fee and ways to recycle used to move to our we stop the show in the democratic republic of congo. the country is the world's largest produce of minute rows, including cold birds, but a long way and demand is growing. the metal is used in the batteries that pos, smartphones, computers, and electric vehicles. so this is a highly profitable industry, but it's also male dominated. we've met to a group of women who are making sure they 2 benefits from the mining boom as they are protecting the environment in the process of and then just don't virginia dallas fast enough and here in town got in the south
2:32 pm
of the dfcs, the geologist, is fascinated by this or an underground and then, but this visa didn't, right? so we call them comp structure. this is a distance um, big display. so qualifications was you need a dialect, couldn't find a job in the country's mining sector webpage. you guys pursue human. i believe just just can mean the roles of weight. as a result, women constitute just 5 percent of the walk for excluding them from pull from the head of the compress. she copeland cobalt. mine makes an exception because it's a sunday in front of the excess you what she knows exactly where to take to the don't let me know how does a silver console the realization goes like this. if you follow it, if you want to find it, see how it dips. that's where it's going to go. most of just follow the shape. see most up long. that's where it old stats. just like over there. i knew that's where
2:33 pm
you'll find a little to come to the bottom of i don't see low was and it will start and quibbled our oldest phone together in supp fluids. the d r c has around 6000000 tons of cobalt, more than half of the welts deposits. this mineral is an essential component for the batteries powering everything from smartphones and computers to an electric vehicle. but it's extraction also poses a threat to biodiversity. the dust from the countries a seasonal mines with 250000 people, walk with their bare hands pollutes the water and suffocates flora and phone. ready cobalt production has increased by 600 percent impact to yes, reaching 870000 tons in 2023, a total of 12500000 calling. these are employed in the mines. most of them run by
2:34 pm
multinational, especially chinese companies. seasonal mind belongs to a local community which give as you need and as a member of the enter your remaining mining or wim, access to the site on this particular sunday. they will take marcella. the organizations president wanted the geologist to assess the mines impact on the environment the enter your mission is to me to get the environmental impact of the mining sector and to find income generating opportunities for women who suffer the most from the impact of the minerals are exhausted all week long, that such sites and others spend a whole day here. the work of lead must, as of what of workers and as a plastic we on site. as a member of we, virginia adela has set to self. the task of recycling this waste created by the mining booth almost what i love most of luck. my walk is how i help the environment
2:35 pm
. flipping the biggest challenge is the levels necessary materials to flip back to the influx. we having a future generation will to rates us to keep going to continue because you need other light is most alone in how flight supported by women in mining, the 27 year old has set up her own recycling business. she's high ups to young people and also has a team of for me to lead to to give up. they transform plastic waste into bus kits and useful gadgets for the mind in the evening. she says inside, good evening everyone, welcome to a web, be not tonight to stop on the agenda these time creating networks and encouraging women to become interested in use by recycling waste. without access to mining jobs, the a. mr ton, a lack of opportunities into an assets. this is also the idea behind the women in mining organization, a new some research to ourselves. if we can't find the jobs there,
2:36 pm
maybe what we can do is recover everything people through a way to create jobs that's can generate income for household. and that's where the women are being rented by us because of a 5 low we have a concrete examples. ecological chuckle, which the n g o trains women to produce from ash, sawdust, and claim. this environmentally friendly method enables women in rural areas where the mines have brenda land unfathomable to generate income. prior to this project, they used to cut down trees. do attached by the expansion of the mines or the say, yeah. so saves them all about this via we was equal benefits. it's good for us, us, good to 1000 these up because it to reduce timber, cutting a mind going into the at the end we've just discovered that this m was and the ash are, but the lives of when it came to the one of the my man okay, cool me a trim and reached o s o n, and i have none of that mean to save you 2,
2:37 pm
but they turned off and enable us to recover the houses we used to have them so it does look windows. she appointment them is a, in a week with an ongoing, a vision in other lot, immediately sees another potential market. she suggest walking together with the women going to be having trouble telling their merchandise and you have customers. you're going to join forces foster goods, just the quality of their product. because if you're going to send it to a customers, we need to be sure it's good. we need a few samples. it has to conform to all kind of collections going funding, funding, time. and when we have such a site, we're proposing to our partners because yeah, i know, i know best in there and a rounding of had a is an appointment with another member of the women in mining group who has recently started producing consoles to me in the combustion for the cities, organic waste. visioning, adela and the other women come to assess the young and to put news progress. and
2:38 pm
don't hesitate to give her a hand to visit the site once a week to start the saw him and check on the condition of the 3 couples tips the visit brings but not so distant memories provisioning done a demo. so them, it was my 1st intel for renewal project, but it takes a lot of effort. so they will put me closer. you need the will power the love and the means for the month level to level it in my vision e adela encourages the young. it's up in you and promises to buy, have composed as okay, and he puts eliza full of customers that women from we are dedicated to the cost and to helping each other a little more every day. so we had now to euro west sambas are getting hotter and hotter mainly as a result of human activities that add heat trap in greenhouse gases to the
2:39 pm
atmosphere. it gets especially hot in cities compared to rural areas because groceries and from land absolve heat back to that cement breaks and all spots. so the obvious thing to do is bring us much nature into the city as possible on this top top has found uninventive way of the just that holly building density and very little greenery are plastic and recipes the heat items in cities like london. but this wasn't the structure, could help relieve the 7 problem. it's called that i suppose to help cool down its surroundings. is a, is basically a planting structure in vehicle in this structure like a seasonable plants. different kinds which are growing up to 10 minutes or within one year and providing shadow and
2:40 pm
a fresh breeze in the hot summer time, especially in those areas of the cities which are affected the most by doping, roaming every 2 who typically call see dollars fast scrubbing plans such as morning, glory beans and hops can provide shade and help create a better micro climate in the immediate surroundings. and clearly, the structure isn't just the support for climbing plants. the structure is, in a way constructed like a street furniture. it's like a show that you put onto a place or on the street so the cars can stay focused on these devices. they can go in and these people can stay to walk. but they can also sit and rest and move on to offer a lot of things that people can do without. but they have to immediately change that. to the team, sit out to combine design with natural materials and functionality. the climbing plants don't just have to cool down heat on these timing tens are based on the
2:41 pm
season. most likely. what we do an autumn is that we have is the whole bio mass and then depending on the loca, infrastructure we can find, solve to turn them into compost energy or even bio job. and, but that's read to on the whole is how does the bio mass into the economic side? the creators of the say provides a quick solution to the hub and heat filing problem to 10 areas where trees company planted space is available. it was 1st shown in the 2024 london design festivals and who knows, perhaps these structures will be popping up in other cities next summer. and tell her about again, if you will also doing your bit, tell us about it, visit our website, or send us a tweet tags doing yo bit. we share your stories. we have staying in
2:42 pm
euro, but moving south to a remote island. that's a whole sport for bird vibration. hotter temperatures are also heavy. the major effect on the migratory patterns of birds. combined with factors such as sea level rise is becoming harder for them to nest and find foods of that poses a server threats to the survival. because birds are still sensitive to environmental conditions, they have a lot to teach scientists about climate change and how to adapt to it. of the these beds migrating south to escape the cold european winter. they were fuel and the greek island different to keep there before crossing the mediterranean. and mister hara on that you, any to africa, researches christmas, bob. brutus is observing that migrate 3 birds on this step hoover. he coordinates the annual bud census on the island. says to guess if they were my
2:43 pm
best domain. uh eh, yeah. not zoom that be fine. basically we're collecting data to identify and possible population changes in my grade to reboot on potential for us from a happy days. cutting this guy. characteristically, there's a trend that there are changes in both the numbers and the times when the birds come side was due to the effect of climate change. yeah, local to an amended schema. decide that you research has one when this fund isn't how the creatures are adapting to changing conditions long that migrate to me, routes on the same product. you will find samantha, if we have less rain, which is how can i have kind of record that will help me less greenery unless food, which will be problematic. but it's uh, stopping to better understand the changing phlegmatic conditions and how migrate. 3 patents of goods reflect them, researches use net to catch them along that rigs at dorm kristoff and these
2:44 pm
colleagues untangled at the, from the nets for examinations. and what it was a subsequently in the research is count them, measure them, waive them. yeah. and then 19.7 and 19.7, and then they put a ring on them. female black, i'm getting number is a pc because branding is really important because it's the only way that we can track the small songbirds where they're going and when they're coming back to our countries. and that's because they're too small to put a gps tag on, which is what we use for the larger birds to track their movements. so instead we put a band on, it has a 9 digit code, and when it gets caught by another research station, we can tell how long it took to get there. we can tell where they're traveling to. and also, even if that band doesn't get recalled,
2:45 pm
we get information on the number of spacing. the data collected allows the researches to determine the stability of the populations. and they can also keep a close eye on the arrival and departure time's of the birds. migratory species or either adapting to climate change and coming earlier or they're not and they're going to suffer because of it. and it's actually happening differently for different species. so we can tell if the species are coming earlier. if we've been doing these research stations for decades, and then we can prioritize our efforts to protect them and help their recovery in, in climate change and in the future. the switch on on the island is just the pit stops the bad. that headed south in the spring, the research is, will return to see how much conditions so changed. i'm how did the tip adapted so they might help them on the journeys in years to come
2:46 pm
back to african. now, international trade has been around for centuries. but globalization has seen it go into overdrive the upside, a lot more choice, inflexible prices. but the problem is shipping goods around the world takes heavy, told on the environment. so is it really both states in the end on next report comes from egypt. we meet a fama who's found the clip alternative to important animal feeds, and tens of problem into an opportunity, or the solar is an invasive plant on the surface of it. that's hardly a good thing. but besides growing extremely quickly, as all it contains a lot of protein, which makes it ideal animal photo, it hasn't quote on as a feed crump. so far, mohammed up they'll top up when you discovered the plump by chance on youtube, while looking for cheaper ways of feeding his household animals. how did they know
2:47 pm
happiness? tell them that if we use the results of feed capital, we can save an average of 60 to 70 percent of the feed costs for policy. you can save an average of 40 to 60 percent based on the but i had the 16 for me. i'm gonna clean with a lot of has a lot of thought and i know how to 7 years ago, how many adults, how well began studying and then planting as all a defeat, his domestic life stopped with it. and soon after he started selling it to others, how many it has since decided to become a full time that's all the farm on pioneer to grace the plants and several large tanks with a total area of 300 square meters. the middle class started about 7 years ago with a very small from now we have a number of as other nurseries, something that we've spread, the idea around agents helping to grow the plant. on 350 acres, the most egyptian farm is like abdullah ali, see the animals on green and slowly. but the country now in ports about half of its grain and 90 percent of its story. and the war in ukraine has also fed the pushed
2:48 pm
up prices. putting pressure on many farm is less than $300.00 kilos used to cost as almost nothing but now they cost a lot. today's price is 15021800 years or less than most of i do, but my income has been increased. so i don't make a profit on that. as all, it is much cheaper and growling this simple. if this war to nearby or you need then is son and sometimes some force for us to act as a fertilizer. the aquatic fund was long cultivated elsewhere, for example, in peru or rain royce funds in china. but the technique is largely died out. mohammed of delta web is using modern means to spread the word in egypt. so i missed missed with a couple. it's in the 1st people where i didn't know what to do with my hobbies in
2:49 pm
the 7th, and then i started using social media i. when i uploaded the videos of my channel showing me is all up blond and poetry eating it today, or the end of that 9 detention. and people came to see it for themselves. i showed them in the plant, i'm the chickens. when people started to accept the idea, can you up with a, a button had been name who's trying to produce some 600 kilos each day. and he has plenty of customers ex, but say that the plant can also play an important role in the environment. it computer, if i were to provide its own nutrients ocean, i have both types of blue green algae grows with his own on that island. it absorbs nitrogen from me and, and transforms it into organic nitrogen that feeds the plunge and welcome. it also has an co sign in this that look as antioxidants and is a source of victim in a which increases the plants, nutrition, new value within the company has every right. that's all it has also cool
2:50 pm
eviction agricultural researches. these university graduates are producing power that as all the feet and hope the plant and help pharmacy to become more independent in other ways. to show the we want to have a social and environmental and economic impact. i teach farms within photo i london water with relatively high solidity levels. how to grow the is all a plant of by the hospice from them. and they'll have a decent source of income for the, for the ones that are in the meantime, mohammed up till co op has found another application for surplus of solar. it works well, there's no chemical road to long something so you've done the next cause buses and motor bikes. a bad for the environment. that's no citrate that manufacturers and they do intensive damage. i me to as of couple of die resides an up howard, really spiteful as it feels by far the largest contribution to global warming and
2:51 pm
also used the engine oil that gets licked or dumped. it's a serious pull you sense, but the kind that leaves the recycling, the rece. these are doing right from used oil. and this is moses being go as a company kind of used to just to probably the oil. been simple as can you give them get coffee to kind of give me these kind of don't to be a trickle black because it realized that it was the while you book directly. we now recycle oil. it, we've learned it doesn't simply lose it to use one of those because it becomes contaminated. we clean it up and restore it for reuse, allowing the cycle to continue. buck recycling with for ease of beats of the mississippi business. but it's, well, i think it was beautifully small business, a 1000000 plus 3 people, the regular visits,
2:52 pm
some 50 covered shops and compiler to collect use boy you your model with them together where when i draw used oil, for instance, from a diesel engine, i store it carefully and earn money from it to meet some of my other needs. i, factory mechanics used to just pour it away before they realized it was a valuable resource. so you know, we can't just throw away oil, the coolant or hydraulic fluids. right now, what do i walk i sent was this is vin gogh, now recycle someone's housing because of use for the month. that's and what are the chief contaminants? heaps. we use the 1st eva part, then it's various, give me cause like sofa to remove the dust and other parts. of course of the for you do you, are you doing? what can i do with this is what used oil looks like black. as you can see, oh no,
2:53 pm
we can just say quoting, and this is what we recycle to achieve a clearer product known as the base oil. that's one of us. it's called the base for a reason based on the way many lubricants are made from this base oil. so now once used this clear, oil turns into dirty oil like that, which we recycle back into base. and the cycle continues to goes into the site for the key to continue. last recycling allows and to risk you some sense of the o if somebody could be a before you gains, we could use it. we've got in time single sales to power repair. shops in composite, the 20 percent that's left over is pitch black. it's between. i do for producing as follows between us supplies, the number of businesses in the company to with the product leading to price include for him and for the environment in many of the contents she's useful or i think just being some being described to what do you think so,
2:54 pm
you don't if i'd be just q, what like victoria is not from compiler and this is where most of the country is drinking. what comes from much of boats in charge from the sea to every major problem here. or the old police ship is clearly visible. the drainage system is also blighted. in recent, she has been mentioned a cost for preparing drinking water has doubled to about 2200000000. you've done the shillings. that's around $570000.00 us in months. so what sources are getting increasingly for you to getting import polluted by a storm that i'm getting polluted by, boiler, disposable or you so so polluted by industrial, with the average cost, chemical cost to put it in water. use 2300000000 every month because a very, very high cost and find
2:55 pm
a lot better had not to consummate this close to the people, each fluid change generate some 5, the types of used oil. and that's 10.10 minutes. about 3700000 liters of fresh water according to the united states environment protection agency. so if we were site could lead to pounds, we divide you when we went mechanics used to discard oil without thinking about it, but i'm glad they no longer do it helps protect the environment. i also created jobs by hiring people to collect the oil from various sources and my product directly benefits the same people who supply the used oil. yeah, i bought it for you. that's all for today would love to hear what you think about the show. so feel free to reach out to us on a cool a d, w dot com. you can also find voice virus star is by searching for eco africa online . thanks for watching for now it's good bye from me crystal and illegals nigeria. see you next time
2:56 pm
the, the, the
2:57 pm
indian professionals rate germany highly for i like, uh, term and technologies. the best thing is, uh the, the society is set up. i mean, the good system that you're going to stop the work life balance. and like the germans, they also dislike the fringes of adults on the bureau guessing it's, it's the weather channel. 50 super slow made in germany teams, fuzzy minutes on d, w go. india. cleaning up henry's am central to our front
2:58 pm
desk are turning towards more environmentally friendly production methods. for far too long, leather industry jeopardize the health of its workers in the local population. water recycling in natural tenants could be the he to in chapter eco, india. in 19 minutes on d w, the i want to tell you something. it today me, my house. i was a shot. i never saw. that is what happens to me. many people here are talking about it for the very 1st leaving here, you know, living with a b space, a lot of discrimination. raising awareness of h r d and on and we're still in this cycle. shame silence.
