4:30 pm
i think most of your living also is available worldwide. every language level. reading gentleman has never been since the the air is all whole. it's a duty to help take care of it. no matter what field we work in today, we have some, as far as the examples of people showing how it's possible to make a difference of crystal lives in lagos, nigeria, a welcome to eco opry. got your thoughts coming up. eco friendly build in how aspects in ivory coast uh, getting this fabric mental patient maureen, is how scientist in south africa alone and from the jelly fish and our roof with
4:31 pm
a difference. how far island is filled with nature in mind? burn the has abundance. not sure what the results us. both steel millions don't have access to a clean drinking supply to make model as well as a lot of the ground water is being polluted by chemicals from scrap metal collecting these toxic waste on tennis each into something useful is a hot process. but we met some people, well, not afraid to get your hands dirty to this man of disassembling complex. and in doing so, they are contributing to environmental protection in burundi because the smallest african country lots proof of waste management or too often all costs or cop parts and up in the environment. rushed on under range of toxic substance pulls that
4:32 pm
switch to echo system on human health. but this buckhead business is sponsor for change that is happening in the room d. no it's, it's not so much. i mean, once these vehicles this month, totally separate the metals such as cost by on, on a medium, but it's important that we don't meet. so combine them with other materials like oil. we carefully saw the metals for the factory and set aside on the rest of the sizes. you'd actually got to show up 2 years of neglect. recycling you're gaining traction in burundi. people are realizing that's what he's conceded. waste can actually be a valuable resource. jordan could be, mano, runs a script, he knows that's raising awareness is key still get a little good idea of who get i want to go by my friend. so you need to explain to the village of the dismissal with these very interesting and not handled properly.
4:33 pm
that has positive that's caused by such with them we need to collect to, to, to on money and protect the environment. the on the during the lies on leg tons of new guy in east africa holding 16 percent of the planets, fresh water. it is the 2nd largest lake by volume in the world, but glittering and the lack of recycling facilities affecting the ecological balance and public health around the lake. dress with that's being dumped close to our data to the into reverse is particularly consigning as it to complete. the drinking water of mediums prefer remy marie, includes in detected toxic heavy metals in drinking water samples. pull us out to the us when it comes to human health. so key we need to monitor heavy metal. this particularly lead acetic, pearl mercury, and i'm cutting me on medicaid. it looks like giving you these heavy metals
4:34 pm
come close to via immune deficiencies, infertility or cancer? a little too hello. hello. this is so can't hear ladies concerning because it is casino genic and is found in the lake water castillo d. like it came across some lift, tundra nichol selves is a fresh water source for 95 percent of people living in the bloomberg and other towns by the lake like longer and nuns like so. so it's appointment to be 0 deductible. and so this is the threat that we need to take seriously. it's important that we monitor the increased levels of leads and other heavy metals, any like time that need to be set to one month or so, the pool would be able to meet total. that'll do not collect these crap mentally and recycling cups like this one. and she was that valuable metals are being reused and more importantly than the substances don't pollute the drinking water for
4:35 pm
millions of people. but raising awareness is not always as easy as it might seem. in theory. quite a bit of a joke with and is this luck request patients we have to go through villages with crop of metal is cut to then some people are reluctant to talk to you that you're having to give them one of those judges team prepared. today's delivery for their customer. the collected metal ends up here in these still plants run by on experience company. best in india, via the recycled metal. get started once more with the help of heavy machinery. and eventually melted down and moulded into a new products each day, the plunge, recycled, the 40 tons of metal into 2 buzz which comes then be processed. father,
4:36 pm
the, the most popular products of high quality is to as well as they are commonly used to build reinforced concrete building the roads meet international standards and they are also deployed on construction sites closer to home like this one next to the company. and here in the suburb of mushroom, where there is for the proof that an old guy can have more than one live, some of the plant materials up less goes to these metal craftsman will make kind of crafted cooking parts installed. good. what was it that i'm being look for? i didn't, but how many um uh, who gets krupps and sheets from the plant and we used them to make our products. that's much better than polluting the leg. can i get of call it a lie?
4:37 pm
you will not, i'm one of the kind of him, but i should have already cut off on many of the customers seem satisfied. vc money is happy with the new store for how business mit entirely or recycled materials. the increasing when is raising and it's probably some of those small recycling businesses alongside major industrial facilities is a huge improvement and helps reduce pollution in burundi. promotes and concept visual needs using the densely populated and growing country is crucial. the peruvian government in the u. n. environment program wants to set up more recycling facilities while the european union. these also helping to set up a network of what's a quality monitoring stations to keep the world's longest fresh what to look clean . and it's biodiversity being taught the waters of this saw the atlantic ocean. ok team in that space, ease of jelly, fish, these creatures. i've been around for hundreds of millions of v as yet. there is
4:38 pm
surprisingly lead to research into them. now, scientists, the south africa, a trying to find out more balls them and the critical role the play. let's take a deep dive. jelly fish are among those oldest inhabitants. mass occurrences known as blues of jelly. fish happened roughly every 10 years. but in some regions, like allowing them to be being caused, they seem to occur more frequently. but it's hard to get dot to jelly fish thrift with the current which makes them difficult to accurately record. such invasions are usually the result of environmental conditions which lead to a drop in the number of predators. at the same time, that can be facilitated by an increase in temperature, you can increase the temperature. these things will grow foster. you dropped the concentrations of oxygen that will effect fission negatively,
4:39 pm
but it doesn't affect jelly fish. the jelly fish will bribing areas the fish of being forced to events. the invasion has not yet hit south africa. chris lewis is a jelly fish expert who is familiar with the species in the waters off cape town. so far, 20 spaces, a note here, such as the for the mouth jelly and the poisonous fox jelly fish. researches are only now beginning to understand the role that these invertebrates play in the marine ecosystem. they're not only supposed to indicate the spaces to show us wayne ecosystem is out of whack, but they also play very important at all. that's a pace pcs, as well as criticism, notion of because generally companies does the actually lock up a lot of carbon into the ocean and we literally fish die. they actually sink to the bottom of the sea floor. and then the following season with the wind induced operating that you didn't get to the used for by the 5 to effect in order to grow and start that cycle back again. there's a lot more to learn about to species diversity to varying. a ross has spent just over a decade,
4:40 pm
studying jelly fish together with other scientists. she wants to build a database of the different types found off the south african coast to determine whether there are any change and the numbers. but it's a huge task. it gets small, but if you shoot, we expect the tissue we get to be in a, out of the tissue and all that place these, this little solution. fold it in a. what we then do is we sequence it in a and we look at what spaces we are seeing based on the d. n a. and we are discovering many, many new species. and so this has been very exciting for the more the researches understand about jamie fish types and the numbers, the better they can determine changes in the population. and carly them with climatic conditions. any fish certainly seem to feel at home here as the coast of south africa is one of the most species reaching the world around 10 percent of oil jelly fish is live here, and many can be seen at the cape town aquarium. each species has its own peculiarities, with some only living in cold water,
4:41 pm
others in war. chris lewis is responsible for breeding them. it's a complex and difficult task. each space is um, has its own but images. so while they're getting up some spaces one to the in warm or cold with a specific period of time, a diet shift, we have some good efficiency. as a jamie patient, we actually have to produce enough to push in order to feed them. then also some database out of very long left they left for 6 months or 9 months. so it was nice to have this done by about system where we actually getting use pieces to replace the ones that actually expiring on exhibits. many people are fascinated by these aquatic dinosaurs or a few of them, because many ged fish are poisonous. although only a few species are dangerous to humans. some jelly fish also contain highly erotic assets and important nutrients like protein. making them of popular food in asia. but they're not on the menu in south africa, yet instead,
4:42 pm
scientists here hope to better understand the role of jelly fish within the marine ecosystem. and how it's affected by climate change. now with heads to a false long european outpost in the north atlantic ocean. yeah, so there's no construction muscle. it's how valuable they can be in the fight against climate change. yeah, there's today's doing your bit it's not your average loan that runcle hakes that is mulling per house has a traditional turf roof. it's a method of insulation that dates back a 1000 years or more, the village of goss a dollar as close to a cliff finch, on one of the pharaoh islands position far out in the north atlantic. stables built centuries ago by sailors and warriors, combine kings are still in use. we always try to make a small and print
4:43 pm
a new environment as possible. but this has to be a good way to farrell islands line between iceland and norway. and one of the most remote corners of 0, they belong to denmark. the 18 islands are home to more shapes than people do to the harsh climate and send layer of soil or a few trees. but there's lots of grass with strips of turf provide installation. this restaurant isn't tor shown, the pharaoh east capital the grass roof or blend into the landscape. and that's not all it is not the smoke only beautiful. it's very, very good far for isolation and also very good for our for nice reduction. and we hadn't the, the hail and, and rain and snow storms. you can hear nothing at all on, on the roof of dallas. green roof can absorb around 2 kilograms of c, o 2 per square meter. each year. these living tiles convert carbon dioxide into
4:44 pm
oxygen reducing the climate forming emissions. the local architect, heidi thompson, is delighted that one of her favorite building materials compulsive playing an important role before just was you know, the material you know on the road. now it's a tool against climate change because sucks of sect. uh has a huge carbon footprint and an ivory coast largest suite. yeah. be john architects and events. la. those are working on a square metal energy efficient homes and public buildings as the vault to see it's also important to find ways of getting up such solutions. fast, sustainable construction as a promising and pulsating future in ivory coast. we looked at innovative approaches
4:45 pm
in oven planning on building design aimed at making city life green on e to construction project taking shape. and i'll be john division of this month here in alba to on the outskirts of the city architect. you said d of i to a is re developing this 3 heck to area with apartments built with a small, a competing footprint. that meant plenty to incorporate a range of environmental features such as natural cooling instead of air conditioning. so silver has its open here and then open pay or you can feel the airflow so we know it's hot outside, but inside here it's not as hot. and we can feel that there's a difference of $2.00 to $3.00 degrees. built full meters above ground due to the threat of rising sea levels and flooding. the district real feature shared green
4:46 pm
spaces, irrigated by rain, water harvested on science. plus a selection of stores will cut background traffic. sustainability is a priority for the architects. this explains the focus on apartments compared to how is the consumer a lot of resources for a small number of residents. the only thing to, you know, if, if we continue in this direction of a nominal and will become more pronounced is so i think it's time to start thinking about the city in a different way. so especially now that we know how we could create a well thought out city and come into the site would have had enough space for around 50 detached houses. instead, it will send the home to $36.00 townhouse apartments on a $190.00 regular plans. although they do cost an average of 200000 euros, it's a far cry from the 1980s when the government built a number of new neighborhoods in avi john with small residential units and stores.
4:47 pm
but that changed when the construction sector was privatized, and of i'm planning joining the free market. the key element of sustainable building is, of course, the materials. one company has upgraded the traditional brakes to create a higher robust mixture. read a sound more to on the little segment problem. i'm going to do it before we had a the concrete. oh, had to press, sorry. oh, by had to do. we got to today is b, t, c, s a, stabilize compressed as glove which is pressed by hydraulic machine. that the differences in strength to your concrete is not as resistant as b. c. s. if i get out, if it was the brakes, little bike in the sun for 7 days before they can be used for construction on site, they into a lot like self looking panels. that then put teeth to reduce the gaps the only time more to is used. it's
4:48 pm
a foss technique that also provides better insulation. the difficulties to so many stocks in the ultra violet rays and send some back into the room. but the clay and last ride that make up vase, he has left the res. so the hate outside con guessing, and it stays cooler inside. at the bottom. there is still one challenge training. most workers have to acquire the requisite expertise on the job, but it's quite new. the general supervisor picked up the technique not during his studies, but on building sites. i'm pronouncing my day do it up when i discovered this material, i honestly didn't believe and it was, but when i came to see for myself to see the methodology, to see the practice, they used to assemble this block, which is truly a jewel. it was really extraordinary seeing that a building could be erected right up to the finish without cement. just start off with this whole song sort of stuff. my boy and students
4:49 pm
can learn all about future, or is it buildings not? and i'll be john. but on the eastern edge of the country in the small city of bundle cool university that teaches evan planning, and he co construction in a cost sponsored by the wells bank. so many students, it's on shonda to write the best. and then most, i'm just discovering it now. so it was originally just the passion, but i didn't really know what was it. stay now is my studies progress. i understand why it's important to be able to building a sustainable and they can logical manual. you can use the surface up at deck, he is trying to make them aware of the importance of collaborating with all trades and disciplines in the future projects, law, school, competitive look, months when we talk about sustainable development. there's also the economic aspect . and so all the economic players can, should, and must work together. i left the month and then there's the environmental aspect
4:50 pm
. meaning to all the decision makers, they are to need to work together so, so, so you come to, you know, so that was the human and socio logical by us back as to the, for the cities of tomorrow. all the disciplines have to try to work, not independently on their own, but in a complimentary way. you do mine. yeah. a complete marketing. in 2022. the wills buying into do specific cation system for sustainable low, comp and building the edge label is avoided to contractors that meet a series of criteria, such as minimizing both fitness and use of building materials while maximizing the availability of natural light and efficient installation. with all features being checked during construction, those who receive approval can apply for green building investment for funding from planning to certification and on completion. a range of product to the initiatives
4:51 pm
that altogether having a pos forward the sustainable of i'm planning and not be john climate change is speeding up because human activities really isn't glosses. that he taught the atlas. yeah, i would create extreme, a little predictable with uh it can make farming, very hot as the reason flooding in the show. we went there to meet a woman who is still managing to grow in great sustainable pros use secrets. know how adaptability. i shared hard work that she has created a leaky paradise resting to hector's of greenery from the sons of the village of 20, via north west of new. she has kept told me a may have you name is a doom the rules can. but everyone here called tend to rules for the past 15 years, she has been cultivating this piece of land,
4:52 pm
but you know, unique way the or shell just the she, i chose to pursue agree ecology simply to protect the environment. because of this missile. i love all the creatures, be careful, full is it? for me so i know such as animals. i knew i knew living beings and people to live in conflicts and you'll see a symbol. same here. still an exceptional approach in the shit. there are almost 15000000 hectares from land covering just 12 percent of the saw head countries surface area. even though 80 percent of the population depends on the guidance or small funds for from the tentative rose's garden is an example of the secular economy. she just cuts nothing. she feeds plants corrupts to
4:53 pm
hutchins, which in turn has helped produce organic for to lies to compose tape so tending it to sort of nutrients on her land with tangible results. she have is up to 300 kills of let use a year the every week i produce is sold at a smaller market in the me, a custom of the off the pleasing fragrance of fruit and hubs. and the last one and the difference between hum means and the means of the market. there is enormous much when you just bring your hands close to your face, you overwhelmed but it's high quality. i do not but highlights walk was under threats by the end of august, the 2020 for the breach slots open. she had, we've had reached thailand and even dated, had gotten along the river. she was in the process of hiring tube, looking up and labor as when the catastrophe struck. the guys
4:54 pm
at night is that a new color when she came to pick me up, she asked me if i knew how to get in there. i just told her, just give it a try and we'll see when we got here, the water was rising and almost half the garden was flooded. but as you can see, the river has not received it a lot. and since then we started walk and so it seems a little doom, those can them hasn't given up the 15 year old we decided to turn the challenge into an opportunity and try something you can do for the month. i love that i used to grow so much was the state of rice. unfortunately, the seo with the floods and the water rising from the ground, you had to go right from left left. so i'm waiting to see how it to 10 out all the way to for the rice to ripen. she was so the other major project that's on the
4:55 pm
planting for, but also for assessing it such as a discuss, drink called be something to use in west africa. it's teen on a small scale, but she's about to realize her dream that this is the factory that's under construction. the just production plant. it's a small unit. it's not to think she invest everything she owns. recently she installed on irrigation system to show that planting, inhabiting food is possible, even when the rains don't come like things used to do to climate change. how solution to that challenge is ecological saw me, tend to roles, has become exemplary. now i did edit say to have written st goes like rose all while you please do get in touch. have a good d, w dot com. yeah, those are fine. moist virus stories by searching for eco africa online. but now it's good bye for me for us that lives in lagos. nigeria,
4:56 pm
thanks for what to see. you again says the the the
