and can have the same as like the right to present dw used on instagram and follow up the the big cities come with the overall special environmental problems such as how to get from a to be quickly and clearly or how to deal with the huge amounts of waste they generate with well about 50 percent of the world's population, already leaving in evan areas. it's crucial that we find the right solutions to work, can do a lots to help them. and they also of course, hello and welcome to

a new edition of eco africa. i am chris at length illegals, nigeria. great to have you with us. and here's what's coming up. all bikes, i change in goals lives, and then you can avoid in flooding. sometimes you just have to give breakfast space and how fishes i help you. my range pollution images were stopped the show here in offer because most pop in those nation idea with some 220000000 inhabitants. it is also one of the most polluted countries on the come tonight, and that has a considerable impact on life expectancy in 2021 bit rates from air pollution. among the under fives, with the 2nd highest in the world will seen. so i change it. can you guess where we are cyclists and electric lights, real weight urban county initiatives, or in lagos,

the mega city is commonly associated with cause congestion and port. over 20000000 people live in the mega cities and some 2500000 vehicles take to the roads each day . a situation that the local initiatives are trying to alleviate. let's take a closer look. the one project is annual cost. 3 days, 500 people participated in the event, 3rd edition in 2024 organizes a thinking bigger. how can we also have good public transport? so it has the sustainable transport festival. it talks about walking, cycling or the means of transportation, but also sustainable transportation mass transportation. and that starts with plans for cycle costs, which have won the packing of local politicians to get them to put them in the old

rule. it's might be a challenge because of the size of rhode task force thought to. i'm also the client, what's, what's being done is where we can still incorporate what i've done that a few changes, most of which are for us to, to apply to the long term goal of the lagos, of and development initiative. ludy is a healthier and more livable city where people can get out and have fun. and the plans of going down well with women here too. who don't often ride bikes? well, i love the conversion. i think we have. what would you mind a little as i have a page route to very well as well as the roads because i'd like to begin to manage it as weather is good to know every time. well, and i cause i'm the most i guess. so they'll see the dust smoke that comes up a fee to doesn't help us to breach well. and so we've begun to learn how to do it on our bicycles, the

exhaust fumes and industrial pollution. legal equality has improved a little in recent years, but pollution levels are still 3 to 4 times higher than w h o guidelines. and that has an impact on the cities, presidents, the number of people suffering from respiratory illnesses and asthma has increased here as it has in many of the african countries for a lot of things as specially for children. you would see the fits new throwing into like you might not even be immediate, which is why things like this of a humble because you cannot measure j 5th almost immediately. they always help on what time. and so you have children that or have already so 5 dc 5th, but they will have the disease easily. darwin and life for people with allergies like what are you enjoying my life you it has become a real problem. the ex,

professional sports woman is trying to improve things in our own backyard, at least half of the people in my family osmotic. and they are that's how the rest of your etc, related ology. so being in lagos that is congested, i mean 3 areas really affect my health. the transportation area a little exhaust fumes generate to us zoom on people that smoke the small green spaces, good health matches the in short supply in the city and the environmental experts from ludy think there is definitely room for improvement. inspired by european initiatives, basically launched planting projects together with quality is to create community gardens in particular on the highways the

so what other legal authorities doing? they've been building and electric rails network. the 1st phase was open in autumn 2023. the blue line runs from west to east and spend 13 kilometers. so for the rest of the schedule for completion by the end of 2026. meanwhile, the new red line open in october 2024 and the mass transit system is set to be further expand it in the us to come. if you look at the blue line, now we have this income that's invested. don't pretend to turn on the buses that day. people go, you know, so bob read their work, you know, ready. i going to go on the display of the city and then no direct bill us will a risk vision of the red line as the post. i mean, the trains of quite popular. it's 40 you since a ticket. there's a not expensive and it's certainly keeps being stuck in a traffic jam. oh, well key was amazing. i felt like we should visit them guys well way because i was in david who was why is like not know, my leg goes,

lloyd, great inside because i see who the the enjoyment is key for sports instructor because she teaches surface skills to kids and the art of motorcycle is a fun way of encouraging awareness of the environment and health here academy the leg just on this from the young age. this was the already tell me that when is the environment i with this health benefit, the restore the young doses, the sub menu when they get older or some of them read basically suggest bubble 16. most of them are very healthy range of

new initiatives, helping to get things rolling and make life in a place like a ghost so much more attractive and enjoyable. mobility is of course not just the problem in the big cc, rural areas present, their own transportation challenges, especially for goal is being able to get to a wrong independently can make the difference between going to school or not. or is this 6 doing your bits of a small but significant change has made mornings role. most mostly if it goes from you kansas didn't to community teresa. papa used to work for hours on end. now she's zips to school on u. n. g or donate to bicycle. it's a climate friendly solution and she always gets their own time when they come to

school that much. now i can do school, i mean because of the school, even when it's dark and raining most students. and we're really going to have to track several kilometers to and from school every day. that time is last that could be spent on lessons or study, some even end up dropping out of school altogether, especially goals. that's why the n g o stop is providing goals with bikes. as they walk long distances to access scores, they find the challenges, for example, main. the whole said, use them into some other things and they end up going, saving and going out of school. ringback the goals are safer on the roads and they have more energy at school. plus the bikes according to the environment and easy to maintain. the n g a is already given bikes to dozens of go seen this fall from the school. which has even helped some of them to successfully complete that secondary

education. ringback ringback eco africa. wow. amazing environmental stories. so as i need news, my footboards or the si se 5 years from now is actually the one as before, the, this one works with women on the front of the service. i provide this problem the environment magazine produced by g w channels, tv, and mtv climate friendly solutions does have to be complex or expensive. one visionary couple in par is wanted to see how well low tech innovations could be adapted to 6 the big cd. it's a very special live in experiment. let's take

a look around and definitely welcome to the palm into the future. we call it the oven bios via the office. i was telling you, colleen and i projected ourselves into 2040 to see how we could live in terms of in areas, but in a low tech way. so with technology is that make it possible to cut greenhouse gas emissions by a factor of 5 water consumption by 10 on a set that does not generate waste. that's healthy financially accessible. and that's nice. this couple live in a 26 square meter apartment, mostly size, but we've comfortably enough space for cooking, eating, and farming from the best of the telephone is. so we have a $300.00 leader water base. and with 124 plants, the roots, it directly in a nutrients solution. and that allows us to cut our water consumption to attend compared to a classic soil culture. and so it's simpler to have this system in an apartment of the city. this is the best of all of their organic waste ends up here

on provides id of 2 for the very own little animal. help us to the i'm sure these are black fly larvae. they're incredible. the way they transform the compost into a quality fertilizer. on the not the couples, only animal roommates in this apartment where self sufficiency is paramount. oh that's cool. don't finish what you're going to hear. are the crickets singing? we have a farm here too. and for this experiment, we have the help of several experts for determining our nutritional needs. and we realized that we needed vitamin b 12, for example. that's how we decided to raise crickets as food for us to come. second, visited the camp for a moment. to scroll home to everything we bring into the apartment is recycled into resources for other living organisms. so for example, the shower has several particular features. the water from the shower is return to

the bio product system and we grow the mushrooms in the shower because of the ideal conditions they're within the apartment. it's both of them and shady this. this is best is the best one for 2 bedrooms move to sit and move it to someone has a couple built in. tosh set it themselves in order to minimize costs and make everything at least repairable to. in fact, we've talked to reinvent everything in this apartment. so we call this the customer all the future because the heating elements underneath connected to the solar panels he found done. it's extremely well insulated and therefore allows you to cook food with steam or water that except with $7.00 to $10.00 times less energy than a conventional cooking system because it's to and that's with us. then we have a ventilation and installation system for the entire apartment, which also means that we don't need air conditioning in the summer or heating in the winter. a couple spent 5 months in the customized lot the apartment on the roof tops of paris. and who needs to join a fitness studio?

when in this apartment of the future, you can get a workout while spinning your laundry. urban living that's beneficial both to the environment and the residents. from a media pot made in paris to one of the long does rivers in europe, which flows through 6 different countries. nature doesn't recognize national boundaries. and as we do all to well in africa, that can be a big source of conflict. now just think about the now river water rights disputes between these 2 up here in egypt. but since don't have to be docked away today, some also 1000000 people lives in the out time buying valley. the behind mocks, the boat at between australia and switzerland. separates the 2 countries, but it's also forces them to work together. the 150 years ago.

it looked very different to the rest of the me on the tree, the falling, foaming expensive motion on the locals, tried to fall to side the banks of to brian with trees and raised the banks. but protection one side meant oldham o, floating on the other side. devastating floods occurred on a regular basis. neither side was able to manage the river by itself in 1892, all straight and switzerland finally signed a treaty on slug protection. the 2 countries established a joint toll authority, the international ryan regulation to represent the respective interests of both countries. cool, dancing, difficult, truly. we all different, even if the river is old, it separates us all. but um, uh, because that type of rule, i'd say we've helped each other to grow. i on,

i don't think a box around 1900 the 2 countries, but gotten joint construction work on the upper reaches of the brian. the cost of the switch as initially the work was done entirely manually by the 1950s heavy machinery was being used. the river that was dependent, not right, and the investments on both sides were raised to the next few decades. there was no more flooding. but these days, heavy rain full is becoming more common, causing go to levels to rise in the alpine ryan valley. the vine is busting its bunk. small, frequently letting the residential areas have been built, placed the embankment. none of this comes as a surprise. but the still nice solution engineers have been working on the problem since 2005, residential and commercial areas will remain on changed, but major changes a problem. so the surroundings, the key challenges, gaining local community support this, but outside of class,

people need to understand what's happening. so my books knew that will be misunderstandings of age and older. west times will be asked. net publics of eye on the development problems was recently conducted in vice countries. not for the 1st time in switzerland, but the 1st in australia of weight is me sophie, you know, even if that wasn't as much feedback because we actually expected it was still useful and especially from australia, coleman. now what on the upside is that ice? so in the end or something like that, 5 is understanding. no say we believe ultimately speeds up the planning approval. yeah. happy should all you need done uh the plot at the plugin name is the main thing. so what exactly does the plans look like? it's actually quite simple. the ryan will be given most space. at some point small tearing branch, the apartments will be removed completely. this will make the rest of white enough to allow islands to form in the middle which play

a key role in flipped protection and also bio diversity. the plans are on a public display in an exhibition on the stand side of the rhine. citizens concerns the rules, so address the debt set them up, right? if, when we currently have a width of 6070 made to this, i thought, then i and keep to the rest, it will be 300 to 318. and that's why it's of the cost. if you look at the up a section on the map, for example, you can see very clearly that whether we're built on periods, we haven't moved in button since talk to see whether we're forest areas. so agricultural land by we've taken the opportunity just to meet them a little further out. what to the, the movements cut the notes didn't know how to submit them, same in the household. so that will be less agricultural not and the farmers will be given alonzo sway in australia on the switch side that's know available on to distribute. and i'll have the a piece of the office and back now it will be removed and the rest of it will be white. and to cover the cross lined up to the why the flood environments on base to

switch and austria inside those centers to die for site. they have you have to know some good people die. developing the guns and green and all the green areas behind us will them be refunds sign on to cut and you can no longer be used for agriculture for capital photo production of food or food at the suit, the food exterior. that's why some thomas, on the switch side project the plans but for some of the australian size, they don't go far enough. the price again, on the 2 years, we've never had a project on this scale to 3 extra. so it's actually a good project and we'll bring about some major improvements on this. hopefully you can see that if you're going to spend so much money and create such a huge construction site, you should also keep nature in mind to make sure there's enough room in the river to islands and river bank for all business. and that would be really great. this is an extremely monotonous uniform channel, and it's not true state, it would be much more varied. and for us, the 2 funds. if this revised on c lublix nowhere. and this is what the rhine could

look like one day. once the planning has been completed, the conflicts of interest results on the permits granted, but doesn't look to sol town on both sides of the river. so is it based countries a happy if that from a sometimes i called sleep at night because the project is so complex. right? so complex is break. nice. the australian government has approved construction for 2027, but switched approval is still needed in 20 years. the vine could resemble it states from a 150 years ago with new islands. the will also be great for the boats from the right to the mediterranean, every year next to meet at $10000000.00 tons of plastic waste. and so in the woods oceans some estimated 2800000 in the mediterranean alone. now, according to the w,

w, f. egypt is by far the big as pull you to now one and you is picking up the challenge . the mohammed moods a k, a newly set itself on his fishing boat from the egyptian port city of alexandria. at the end of the day, his net swept before with fish. though his catch of the day will be garbage. the rich, i benefit my son is fish and when i clean the sea for them the those who heads out tough to me will find more fish. it's about why there's some like his father, literally as a fisherman, and he's being costing his nets off the coast here for over 25 years. the huge amount of waste accumulating in the sea he calls home prompted to lead to take action over the country. looks at me and we used to make more money on the fishing ground. all the place, spying, we'd sailed for half an hour to find fish. now it takes 5 to 7 hours, which costs us money and the floating rubbish,

she's threatening maureen life and the livelihoods. the fisherman marine waste is a problem in old 22 mediterranean countries. every day 30 to 40 truck loads of plastic waste dumped into that see the egypt he's one of the major pollutants of the mediterranean, said the problem is particularly bad here. in lower, the fishermen used to dispose of that trash by throwing it into the sea. now we collect some use nets from them when they see the project and how it's implemented they're excited. don't want to contribute because. busy the original project mediterranean clean up started here in greece. how much is known by the social enterprise and alaya. its mission is to promote sustainable fishing methods and to reduce marine pollution. work in greece was more than 1200.

and one of them you come to those people from me to and they were telling me over that list. there it is. we really need to dispose of things. so like one of the low to the end of the extended its mission for a clean mediterranean to egypt with the project in alexandria, overseen by magazine. convincing the fisherman to catch waste instead of fish was anything but easy. at the heavier side of the ottoman the knock, the challenges included the fishermen themselves, which gave literally a key role than with united keeper since a loony in less than an hour. he understands the issue and is well aware of the community aguilar. he started to talk to them in a different way and the mom was 2nd of november. now around to 100 fishermen are involved and that number's a growing since the project started in may 2023. they've collected more than a 100 tons of waste off the coast of alexandria for some dealing with marine waste has become a full time commitment service. oh awesome. it is productive to what with the

fisherman, i collect the ghost nets for recycling and at the same time i presented the wealth of marine life. both of these ghosts nets and deb reconnected from the c a transformed into something new in reciting facilities that processed and turned into room material. so plastic products, ropes, and into looking tiles shut off and falls back on the machine. and so, of course have the prophecy of sticking to things, which makes the treatment from recycling expense or looking at them. and some of it was still able to make an excellent, incurable final product. we're a strong competitor in the market, and we can cover up production costs. so that was nice. and the last says that 58 percent of the waste collects is recycled, empowering the facilities doesn't tend up in the city again. still a lot needs to be done to prevent waste from ending up in the sea in the 1st place

until then the fisherman, like literally, will have to continue trolling for garbage and that efforts have inspired them to make their own waste fishing net. no, i mean show the special much lights in that so we not competing with i'll just human friend once that's done with that 3 times a week. luly set sail not to catch fish, but to collect up to 300 kilos of golf age, hoping to inspire others to keep the sea clean. that's all for today would love to hear what you think about the show. so feel free to reach out to us at eco dw dot com. you can also find moist byron stories by searching for eco africa online. thanks for watching for now is good bye for me. chris lives in lagos, nigeria. see you next time. the,
