didn't like the idea of getting such an old fashioned job and being stuck with dreams coming through, making money, having a son with non falls injunction stuff, december 13th on d. w. the or how do you motivate others to get involved in climate action if it's well making things fun. come be a good way to start. maybe with a game of football or some music, of whether collecting waste or repairing was household items. we can all do audits . welcome to a new edition of eco africa. i am personal items, illegals, nigeria, great to have you with us. and here's what's coming up. climate action,

football and zimbabwe. tenant waste into energy and gone up at wrapping for change. ease of the our 1st of all though, we had to set a goal like many countries. yeah. you know, i forgot. so i think a has a big problem with pollution for road traffic, which is where they call origin i express train. com same venue rule link, transport the road, 115000 passengers every day. it's creek on some premium and it's also having a positive effect on air quality in the area. the demand is in almost every day about 80000 people passed through the gates of between express regional, known as the test, the prize of sin a go through a system since 2021 between has been running,

breaking that new between the car and media due to new science and administrative hub such as 6 kilometers away, petty vanka is a regular procedure. the government official used to spend over 2 hours a day sex and something. now he's commute is just for 2 minutes and he's doing something good for the environment which he values high as opposed to a bit of a good fit. i think the tangent windows reduce pollution. i'm not saying it and we need you to complete, but we have already the seeing fuel costs on the road to do some in traffic is small. so now when you look at the highways and talk roads, because people are using the test and leaving because behind, i think it's making a real impact on the environment. sauzie's of off the island impacts. it allows you to feel a lot of money. the tab is a flex you projects designed to cut synagogues, c o 2 emissions by around 30 percent by 20 seconds. the country currently produces

about $12000000.00 tons of greenhouse gases each year. and nearly all of its transports, we need to the emissions come from roads. we also have to do, we looked at the number of customers just using the tab and calculated the c o 2 emissions, we're saving sofa. we've transported over $55000000.00 plus inches. if you assume this person just took the test instead of a count or bus, we've saved more than 850000 tons of c o 2 and the economy. the emphasis and numbers are rising from $17000.00 a day in the last year to almost 5 times that amount to d, depending on the class and destination tickets costs between a $0.02 and a round, full use of the deck of the uh, the way to get to when i go to the car, to run errands. i prefer taking the test because i need to be fast. i'm really happy going by train. so i get it that. i mean the up that i thought i would take

out this whole, i used to take many buses or buses where everyone's jostling, they've never any space. it's really difficult to compared to the 10 and designing a lot of money. but i bought a deb pretty much that i becca mutual good, must have to the cost. if i want to get that quickly, i took the test to avoid traffic dumps. it's quite comfortable in kula and does less felicia ratio. why that's where the police, you know, just the air that's clean up the tub is also committed to sustainable decision to waste management at each setting station. the whole all system do set up a waste sorting system with all the sites in the stations maintenance areas. and on the train at the stations we have waste collectors and special tons find bins. so we can only tell what's inside of this bins are divided into 2 compartments. for recyclable, waste and recyclable. left on the left wrist

has also brought new challenges in some areas along the truck. so she's being dumped on really appropriate to come boxes. the really operators are organizing clean up events and running campaigns to raise public a when you're supposed to be that's your own love. this, when is campaigns also focus on safety since we deal with a lot of trespassing on the trucks. and that is the issue of sending stations because people are throwing the waste onto range with property. you're also tackling illegal dumping within a premises along the waste management and sustainable ma chauncey, the terror has proven to be a major success by means 2025. the line will extend to the international and the apple, the to isn't just transporting passages. it's bringing a big emissions into re yes. when it comes to looking

after applying it, sometimes you just have to roll up your sleeves and get to a best the for you know group. i'm next report shows that supplement efforts work best for when you pull on your football booth 1st, which is what on next report from zimbabwe is all about the hello. everyone here is unable and not just on the soccer page. this in concert titan's football club, also trains its young members and environmental awareness. some concern is that local n g a that teaches kids about issues like climate change and the importance of conservation, giving them the skills to make a difference and the wells around them is do we meet we cutoff by discussing the

inside of mental issues like the sick does inside affecting the environment and the possible solution or suggestions or anything that we can do to keep those fig tests . then we proceed to us putting activities, helping them to fully understand the, the inside of mean. and it's not just these kids who have benefits in the so good environment program runs across 20 schools in and around to rory the topics towards ranging from recycling to this rest of extinction facing some animal species. since the project began in 2012, moving 500 young people have taken part, their learning practical skills. like how renewable energy through setting up how it comes can keep gotten like this green and striving even in times of drought. for how planting fruit trees can reduce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. plus

those same trees make a great habitat of various wildlife, means the amount on the board. what was it because a couple of guns are bored when we play soccer. as soon as we get to the field trip, so we 1st pick up all the plastic melissa on the ground as well, but it doesn't seem beside, as you've seen of this is clearing the courage to collect. so the waste environments, this was where like if and because we do this every day before playing soca no much, i've started taking a look good habits away with me to keep my environmental clean every way this weekend too much. what i'm doing with my friends of the yeah, you know, free guy. it is very normal to re fed, broken household and electric goods. what's in euro. the tendency in present, that case has been to just check things out. that creates a lot of waste. now there are efforts to encourage more people to go down the repair routes, including some financial incentives we had to germany. we

have so much stuff in europe and create more e waste low capital than any other region or not. one problem is when this stuff breaks, i have no idea what to do about it. for the cases like bowling one, again, one step ahead. as part of it sustainability initiatives, belinda is working to fix the big gap in the circular economy and convince americans for, for the repair of a product, bullying we give up to $200.00 euros per year to people who repaired on broken household items. and the you hopes that such schemes of the drastically reduced ways produced to i mean, ultimately the info start to do that like this nice little refurbishing factory is saying that the the big question is though, the schemes like this to steve us reading goods. what do we actually do something the back of so much waste nowadays it's getting more and more complicated to get

things done. that's going the right policy, a member of germany, social democratic body who's working to push through policy change. he's talking about how the complexity of gadgets has gone up. remember when you could just take the battery out of it or phone and replace switch. we also know mix resources more with electronics. now, when i shoes, for example, and we need so much more raw materials that are growing energy needs, when it breaks down how the new is pushing back hardware there. so it's a coffee machine. producers may need a special key to open it in order to repair. and these keys i have enough available, i would expect, is not allowed anymore contractual. if you go with your phone to somebody else to repair it, you lose your contractual guarantee. not allowed anymore. and the last thing that to introduce is to be a request from the member space to introduce support measures. so australia from so in a couple of states in germany have now introduced a repair bonus where you can get part of the repair paid for a research group. calculated savings from the scheme and the state of tutoring in

from 2021 to 2020. and found that more than $13000.00 unsubsidized profess avoided almost $400.00 tons of electronic waves, and almost $3000.00 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent molded i'm told of use a said they would not have to pay the product if not for the cash back scheme. so many regions, including berlin, giving it a go to the state here was no subsidized, 50 percent of the bank costs for a long list of household items. when you send your bills in and this is gap, the $200.00 us, per you. this is all thought of when you direct to the e. you approve the seo the each memo said was item to law by 2026. it would lie just companies to increase the minimum warranty period and lower the cost of spec box. we have this examples that's a part of a dishwasher, for example, simple plastic part in the dishwasher. if you use 3 d printing, it would cost you $0.50. if you purchase it from the producer, you have to pay $200.00 units. nobody can explain that this is ridiculous, therefore we included of who the price has to be reasonable. consumers can request

the check off. the price is from judges can single repack to face. but the municipality offers a free repack, a face that people can get help in order to get the products being repaired, so to prompting tire repair. and by that we get a hold boost for the repass. let's check it out. belinda listed, so they just said rebecca fees on line. i'm adding to one that's set up inside of 2nd hand malls run by the cities waste management authority. the authority collects waste and preserved special things and they think this of a longer life. the rivera didn't want to be filmed because in trubenstein, his, alec, his group believes in the messaging over the individual, just, this is broken and i'd like to repair it, as it does as well. so i'd say this main robot part here might definitely shouldn't be used anymore. i don't know why that's through. i've been in business all. we'll

have to get a new rubber pie. when we turn know when i kind of apply for the bonus yet. but when i come back with my new talk next month, i wouldn't i wonder the what happens in places, but people lack access to places or schemes like this. does your plan always make sense? one study compare the price of buying new wasn't understanding, washing machines and vacuum cleaners for such expensive products. it found that in every instance, it was significantly cheaper to repair over replace until the very end of life. at which point the blue switch, a group of european universities, found that overall, why is recycling has stolen the glory repair is the most important below of the circular economy. you could save several times the energy required by repair in household items rather than recycling and which would include breaking down to devise separating and spots changing the form and sending each back into a stream of circulation. so reset infrastructure really needs to catch up. and to do that at scale,

we need big players. we've driven across the border to portland to visit one of the biggest factors in europe, the buyers and refurbish of all things. re by says the country receive a 1500 packages a week to the post electronics books. i pads, game consoles and watches the book about the here they checked them for quantity and selling them back for a longer warranty period than the original. as part of the policy to make things last longer without the price being low, gotten to believe that model $112.00 which aligns with buttons repair, bonus idea which he sees of the next big market over the past years. and we also expanded into the area if we pay off. and so we have our own repair facility and we do display changes, battery changes and other repass,

and then obviously has an additional impact on saving you waste. and that's an additional area where we see quite some potential. so we are going to see a lot more of this. i'm clicking on the consent. it was like the one in berlin which have proof to work. and some members states really do it over a large enough part of the population. and when industry truly catches up those huge mountings of waste, certainly make you think we have a good number of them. garbage is so bad for the soul, walter, and as well as for roles, people in gone the efforts to come back, the growing trust problem of let's to the development of a high breed wished to energy plants. so for the pilot project is very promising. this waste sorting facility is still something of a novelty and gun, but the plants here does even more. some waste is used to produce electricity and

complex facilities like this come out to be able to help us and be able to able to collect uh ways and make good use of the widths in a way you realize that one of them has to do with job creations, so people want people in the community who will not be engaged in the collection of the ways which will actually be sent to the community to actually be utilize. the facility is having a crucial purpose done as a waste problem is huge. $14000.00 tons of garbage generated every day and only 10 percent of that is collected. it's a problem that results in greenhouse gas emissions. the spread of the seas and even contributes to flooding. and in fact, waste is a valuable resource once it's processed. solomon and rhetoric is a salma. he and his son now use compost, made a gun increased on the me field. a move of water by me using

the company for i started using the most of the like pups about my yield was very last. yeah. i know, but as a media significantly novice did a lot of mays this year last year i had about 10 bags, but this year it's increased to 20 bags. yeah, yeah. so the complex has been helpful to me. i'm on a, at a content intent intent. the contrast is made in the hybrid waste energy plants near the city of kumasi, where waste is also used to produce electricity from via the solar power plants produces 400 kilowatt enough to supply 500 household. the 1st of its kind in gun that it costs 5800000 euros and was mostly funded by the german government. the plant was also developed with the help of government know how there's no shortage of waste that's can be used. it's brought in from the town over can copa so in a day because i spent phones, and then at the end of the day we expect that to obtain about 50 cubic meters of

gas. the plants doesn't handle metal, but plastic waste gets shredded and sent elsewhere for cycling. the organic waste is used to put you cycle guess the help of material in this react to in the yellow building behind it by august is converted into electricity, but to generate to of the plants will eventually employ a team of 50 people. for now, 20 people walk here, including local ex, puts in waste, which meant to getting further training. invito gust technology from the german partners for the time being the energy produced here isn't being said, you took the mass, you read the amount of power produced by the plant isn't to yet enough for the national transmission system coming well. yeah. okay, that's good enough to production of energy from the bargain aspects to have more of the energy produced from the bio gas aspects as compared to the solar that we have

currently on the site. so that'd be kind of quite a 30 degrees because of the width in the projects. so the fact that we have with that is from the bank, as i said, that is being converted to a meeting as well. this office office is what i'm looking for. that's we have more energy that we could use in the coming months. so that's a company going to touch the grid. until this happens, the electricity produced is used in the waste energy plant itself. and the plant makes bio compose from organic waste in a closely monitored process that's takes that b y a compost has have some excellent one and with from, well april for the adult. the need for chemicals for tonight is, is, and he even saves money to it. as well, yeah, cause enough, it's a, you know, this organic compos, i have to spend a lot of money to buy other types of fertilizers, and that's very expensive. if i try and do the one about the costs of the

equivalent of the $30.00 euro. so using the organic compost has helped me to reduce my cost of production. most nadia of little purple waste to energy plant near kumasi is a pilots project. if all goes well again and government plans to finance 10 more across the country, while it to amazing when you can make something useful, also something that has been discarded. what 1st of cause the waste has to be collected in the democratic republic of congo, a wide spread available was the issue, lead one young woman that to push for change. our aim is to help the environment and at the same time, improve the lives of those around the o of the at this events, the music has

a clear message. environmental aim is to meet young people understand that through music, we can lead a real revolution and shake the vision of our environment and the climate crisis. streets, paved with rubbish, clubs of bolted every day. nice ink and chester. it's time to turn around says kit c a for name of your school, the way the terrible it so much rubbish is collected in such a small street. that is a huge lack of awareness about waste management that's done every with the roads on the spins, the 6 this was formula will go from bad kit c a on name of past who heads up to funding. yeah. in that situation, working to protect those, the environment and children's rights. today, the 20 year old had a team of collecting rubbish with street children from the district. oh wow. now

it's time to do some plants. it was because we want to shift people's perception of the environment and lead them to understand that we can all take action. however small, with a sense of responsibility, appliances like a child, we want to see a grow. we want to see it in the phone. it gets here autumn, up in here in the dark capital, she was aware of the issue of pollution from an early age. when she was 12, she joined us. the young people to as program began writing about the water pollution on children's rights. in the 2021 could see i became a human self use invest of the for the environment. since then, she has continued raising awareness among the slowly teens and the general population about children's wrong, about access to drinking water and environmental protection. she takes us to the district where she grew up. it was a kid that she 1st noticed the damage in impact of trash on the area and the coal

goes eva long as well. my commitment stems from the fact that i decided not to accept the situation my country was in, but to see is a problem. and that's the biggest challenge. how do i and all of us manage to encourage communities, individuals, young people to get involved and say, don't forget to ask them what's going. i enjoyed most about my work is passing on new knowledge and a new vision of the climate issue that i get something. let's say that the capital of the democratic republic of google, kinshasa has been growing rapidly for decades. it is that the largest city in africa after cairo, and me, it's population of around $15.00 to $17000000.00 producers around $10000.00 tons of waste every day. a vast amount, especially in the city, without the a centralized waste collection system. during the rainy season,

can shasta is regularly transformed into a river on properties to see a and her team wants to encourage people to reduce waste. they don't just focus in children with everyone in the community in the cities must in that district, they meet with the trust cadet or rock group, was that it was rafa she found the truth that there is in him. can see it has found an online public isn't easy, but we set to a sales or with time, they'll understand them. the doubt that it's a question of time and learning how to get that message across, the more present way, all the mobile make them understand what our vision is. and i think that that is what people set up the music store on century music. we can lead

a real revolution and then we can impact the vision of our environment, the vision of the time of crisis. and that's something that's going to happen over time. little by little. it's about changing mentalities about understanding that it's fine to wrap, but it's better to rep for the real message then. voice by his determination and supported by friends and i think true cut them wrap is. it continues to sow the seeds of change in constructive little by little choose building hope for cleaners and the community committed to tackling the challenges of climate change. that's all for today would love to hear what you think about the show. so please reach out to us at eco, a, d, w dot com. you can also find moines, byron stories by searching for eco africa online. thanks for watching. so now it's good bye for me, chris, a lamps and legals mike area. see you next on the,

the, the

hollow, the spark fury. spain is europe's largest olive oil producer. but its farmers are desperate. after years of drought, the stone fruit has become coveted looped. if things don't change so many farmers will be driven out of business. and there is no help insight. no stop in 15 minutes on the w. actually right
