the young people clearly have the solutions, the future, the 77 percent, every weekend on dw, the how do you motivate others to get involved in climate action if it's well making things fun can 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'm personal lives, illegals, nigeria. great to have you with us. and here's what's coming up. climate

action, football and zimbabwe. 10 in waste into energy and gone up at ra, painful change. even the 1st of all though, we had to set a goal like many countries. yeah. you know, for car, so they go has a big problem with pollution for road traffic, which is where they call origin not express train. com, same venue rule link, transport the road 115000 passengers every day. it's creek on some vineyards on. 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 the clean expect regional, known as the test, the prize of sin a go through

a system. since 2021 between has been running, breaking the new between the car and media due to new science and administrative hop, such as 6 can know me to await. petty vanka is a regular passenger. the government official used to spend over 2 hours a day sex and something. now he's committed is just for 2 minutes and he's doing something good for the environment which he values high as opposed to of a of a good fit. i think the tangent windows reduce pollution. i'm not saying it clean and we need you to complete clean. but we have already the seeing fuel cards on the road to do some in suffolk is small. so now when you look up the highways and talked routes, 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. and this is, the 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 the destination. tickets costs between a $0.02 and a round, full use of the deck of the new way to get and 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'd take out this whole,

i used to take many buses or buses where everyones jostling, they've never any space. it's really difficult to compared to the test design, a lot of money. but i bought a deb pretty much that becca mutual good, must have to the cost. if i want to get that quickly, i took the test to avoid traffic jams. it's quite comfortable in kula and does less felicia ratio. why that's where the police, you know, just to add the clean up. the tab is also committed to sustainable decision to waste management at each setting station, the system to set up a waste salting system with all the sites in the stations maintenance areas. and on the trains of 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 non

recyclable left, the district left. but full risk has also brought some 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 awareness campaigns also focus on safety since we deal with a lot of trespassing on the trucks. and the is the issue of sending stations because people are throwing the waste onto range with property. we also tackling illegal dumping within our premises along the waste management and sustainable my sons. the tara 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 yet when it comes to looking

after all, planet, 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 boots 1st, which is what on next report from zimbabwe is all about the hello. everyone here is not just on the soccer page. there's in concert titan's football club, also trains that young members and environmental awareness. some can serve as a 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 start off by discussing things. i don't mean though,

issues like the sick does inside affecting the environment and the possible solution or suggestive or anything that we can do to keep those sick 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 in pumps can keep gotten like this green and thriving, 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 intermountain the board of visitors. a couple of guns are bored when we play soccer. as soon as we get to the field, we 1st pick up all the plastic melissa on the ground, let us know, but it doesn't seem beside, as you've seen of this is wearing a courage to collect. so the waste environments, this was where, like if and because we do this every day before playing soca numbers and i've started watching them, you know, good habits away with me to keep my environmental clean every way this weekend too much. what i'm doing with my the 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, we spoke half of that 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 thought of it sustainability initiatives, belinda is working to fix the big gap in the circular economy and convince americans feel full for the repair of a product. bullying we give up to $200.00 euros per year to people who repair the own broken household items. and the e u hopes that such schemes of the drastically reduced ways produced to i mean, ultimately the info starting to do that like this massive refurbished and factory assignment to the big question is the schemes like this to steve us reading goods? what do we actually do something to tackle so much waste nowadays, it's getting more and more complicated to get things done. that's been the rapacity,

a member of germany, social democratic body, who's working to push to 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 you 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 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 a better 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 gap, the 200 us, per you, this is all thought of when you direct to the e will prove this. you that each member 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 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 preserve specials things that they think deserve a longer life. the rivera didn't want to be filmed because in trubinstein, his, i like 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 pot 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 part. 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 the place until the very end of life. at which point the blue switch, a group of europe and 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 repairing the household items rather than the recycling and which would include breaking down to the device 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 you'll receive a 1500 packages a week to the post electronics books. i pads, game consoles and watches the book about the here they take them for quantity and send 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, 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 the 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. the garbage is so bad for the soul, walter, and as well as for roast people and gone the efforts to come back, the growing fresh problem of let's to the development of a hybrid wished to energy plants. so for the pilot project is very promising. this waste sorting facility is still something of a novelty in government, 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 width in a way you realize that one of them has to do with drop 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 gun as 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 forgotten request on the me field. a movie brought out by me using the

company before i started using my call. most of my crops about my yield was very last. yeah, i know, but assuming your significant by the office did a lot of mays this year last year i had about 10 bags, but this year it's increased to 20 bucks. yeah, yeah. so the complex has been helpful to me on monday at a content intent intent on the list is made in the hybrid waste to energy plants near the city of kumasi, where waste is also used to produce electricity from via the solar power plants produces 400 kilowatt in after supplies 500 household, the 1st of its kind in government, it costs 5800000 euros and was mostly funded by the german government. the plant was also developed with the help of german 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 produce by a gas the help of but to you in this react to in the yellow building behind it by august is converted into electricity, but generate to the plants really eventually employed a team of 50 people. for now, 20 people walk here, including local ex, puts in waste, which meant to getting further training and vital gust technology from the german putnam. for the time being, the energy produced here isn't being said into the mass. you've 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 an easy for me to 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 us, but that is being converted to the meeting. and so this office office is what i'm looking for. that's we have more energy that will be put used 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 via compose from organic waste in a closely monitored process that's take such as these the y a compost has have some exciting one and with from, well april for the adult. the need for chemicals for tonight is, is, and he even saves money, is as well, yeah, cause enough, it's a, you know, this organic compost. i have to spend a lot of money to buy other types of fertilizers, and that's very expensive. if i was indeed the one about the costs of the

equivalent of the $30.00 euro. so using the organic compost has helped reduce my cost of production. most nadia of little purple waste to energy plants near kumasi is a pilots project. if all goes well again and government plans to finance 10 more across the country, while it's amazing when you can make something useful, also something that has been discarded. what 1st of course, 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.

at this events, the music has a clear message. environmental civic aim is to meet young people, understand that through music, we can lead a real revolution and shape the vision of our environments and the climate crisis, streets, paved with rubbish, clubs of bolted every day, nice ink in chest. it's time to turn this around, says kid, see a for me my past. it's just terrible. it so much rubbish is collected in such as small street. there's a huge lack of awareness about waste management that's done every with the roads on death bins down his neck. this was for me that was also very could see it on the past who heads up to find an association 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 to find out. now it's time to do some

planting. 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 it grow. we want to see it in the phone, it gets here or do up in here. you know that you all received the capital. she was aware of the issue of pollution from an early age. when she was 12, she joined us the young people to this program and began writing about the water pollution on children's rights. in 2021 could see i became a human self use investor the for the environment. since then, she has continued raising awareness among the slowly teams and the general population about children's wrong, about access the drinking water and into rentals protection. she takes us to the district where she grew up. it was here that she 1st noticed the damage

in impact of trash on the area and the call goes along 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 so long as they asked as if the westport i enjoyed most about my work is passing on new knowledge and a new vision of the time at 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 so 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 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 transcript data rack group, simple qual, laptop. 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 with time. they'll understand that out. it's a question of time and learning how to get the message across the more present way out on the mobile, make them understand what our vision is. and i think the adaptive deal is what people said of music during music, we can lead

a real revolution and then we can impact the vision of our environment, the vision of the climate 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. voice by hand determination and supported by friends and i clicked through them rapids. it continues to sow the seeds of change and construct this 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 more inspiring stories by searching for eco africa online. thanks for watching. so now it's good bye for me, chris, a lance illegals. my to area. see you next on

the or the

eco india. the seat is swallowing up the beaches. erosion is increasingly affecting the east coast. we have plenty cherry, the instruction on the movement of water. now the hope lies on the coastal protection project to restore, understand, eco, india. coming up on d, w. it's really ride

on the guides. none of the way around the is strictly scientific truth to some pretty cheap places. curiosity is we tried tomorrow today in ceci minutes on d w. the, this is henry for the future. so i'm seeing in the southwest china 32000000 people live here. many of them i yeah. understand. it's not easy so big. it has so many people, there must be a way to do business here now, except my parents wanted me to become a civil service,

but i didn't like the idea of getting such a full fashion job and being stuck with 3 coming through making money, having a fun with non falls and something starts december 13th on d, w. and for my nephew, he read the city. we don't know what is going on. where is mohammed? some of these sites told him we told him go, but the other side below those, you know, they didn't get him back. so the was stuck in a meeting. well, how much stuff off fled from north, any rock. and he became one of hundreds of migrants who vanish every year. somewhere in the no man's land, the lines between batteries and pony. we rescue cheese become pools in a cruise to your political conflict. missouri,

i'm afraid i'll never see him again. when oh you lost under the stops december 18th on dw the w news. this is our top story. a couple times it will make us in south korea have voted to be checked to the states of marshall low shortly after it was declined by present you. and so your emergency session members of the national assembly moved the president's decision invalid and called on him to reverse it either before the site administrative defense assert, it will continue to uphold the emergency measure until the president recindes it. as an you'll be surprised declaration in the late 19th, the address done south korean.
