the choices was, act, steel, hasn't made a big impact on me. so that was so, you know, one of the, i can say a life changing the incentives in my life for sure. the clean energy and cutting with a 2 big challenges facing us today. luckily, we don't need to look far to find some pretty smart solutions. so welcome to eco, africa. i and some drug of homes that we know of you joining do from complex, right? yes. in uganda. a. thank to sandra. yes. sometimes it sense though difficult to fix all the problems facing i environments what we want to show you how every little bits of progress helps. i am chris gloves coming to you from lagos, nigeria, i'm,

here's what we've got for you. all nigeria is pushing back against the thinker. you lost a valuable work of us citizens, scientists of the spanish, mediterranean coast and how a 19 year old event are as bringing lights. there's village in malawi, the fall off for us to report the display of right here in nigeria and the vibrant mega city of lake ghost, which as a huge plastic waste problem. it's so bad the state government as bends, plastic items that they use just once as through the way many people of celebrate that the decision was asked to see the reaction of the shows. oh, hard, it's gotta be to change. always legally is literally drowning in

trach discarded plastic packaging is everywhere. the cities, lots of ways in particular, have become a dumping ground for more than a $113000.00 tons of garbage. each year. the biggest states environments, ministry has now bad, single use plastic upholstery. but it's not that easy. it's wrapped up with many people's livelihoods because companies just like us, that's what people mean. so what would they be doing about the restaurant people? why would they be doing i can't tell you if i'm happy or sad about this. the takeaway styrofoam packing is cheaper than reasonable plastic rocky awards. so many customers choose to get their food and the styrofoam that because of the cheap . i don't know how the government will go about implementing this van, because it's not our fault. environmental research to me to

a passive remo knows how damage in the past. it can be. she says the government has made the right move, even if some will finally talk to with that, we're talking about like the informal 6 or recycling companies, that'd be painful in collections of pet all tools and all of that. this was fixing . well then it is pros and cons. we're looking at the long term environmental sustainability on effect. finding the, implementing the band. once be easy, many businesses are simply not ready. they'll lead time to before their production process. but active is the last same way joe believes it can be done. we have the warranty. it's all plastic. there was was a 9 do. yeah. without plastic or we still lived is, is very much possible. well, i understand the convenience. the calmness of plastic is quite blinded. well, i would like to say this clumsiness, convenience of the cost of our lives,

of the future is too expensive. they got many street vendors. we also walk through less garbage on the street, but they don't know what to confuse in place of plastic packages. is why we think i bought it before i make a use or since is no good because it's always love with us. but the cost to give us the chance to advise so is that we value the desk if you can both be given to the public assessing people do for you, said landlord, hold on to canada, whether biodegradable or re usable, packaging that many options out there to help with other stream plastic waste in dates, there are as some of those old policies. i've been around for a very long time with business that so people install to us a large area, helping to bring but also additional food talk to dr. school due to natural wear,

it was an abundance of the civil thoughts to have faced boosting properties. this is little religious ceremony, but you would call it a formal from there to watch. it is a publicity event for flemish protection organized by and they didn't. and your, the ones people to use these large, highly profitable leads instead of plastic and my, that is the way it is related to biodiversity. i strategy projects many of the 1st up into kinds and cbs of them. i did the group launch the planned to nor plastic project in 2015 enough to witnessing how single use plastic folder that's want southwest. and they do. yeah. you know, it's a used to encourage communities to replace plastic wrapping with the robust bloss leaves of the cut them fair or medical fruit plant, also known, but it's letting them tow motto, coal close the nearly or wait,

send data from us. it would, i'd gotten to have villages with got them together. i would say don't want to plan to not come out to because i nearly dimensions and types of i will make practices to ensure that it is a website that this was because of i'm not saying that well, no choice to do much already to onto farm beautiful food plants, a mainly cultivated by women in cuz called plantations as a form of federal forestry plants of thrive into soil beneath the trees. and the leaves going to be harvested every 3 months or you in the mall. i manually is taking putting the trust initiative together with other women. she's learning how to properly rep food here in the world in the state office. and she started 2 weeks ago today. she and her colleagues up preparing being kicks it is yeah, so cool. this is the reason why i'm learning how to rep, being taught with leave is to understand the technique of how to read and leave a lot of ideas with this,

i can start filling wrapped food in order to earn an income. what i want, i don't know, just for the long sleeves from the farm to local markets, can be quite a challenge to buy as both private individuals and food vendors. we use them as rugs a bunch of 10 to 12 leaves kind of close upwards of 208 or they prevail into for around 12 utah sense. but, so i still fuzz buyers micro credit financing to encourage pickup image area. straightforward is often cooked and dropped in plastic pots, but customize overwhelmingly agreed that the food tests a bit wrapped in the leaves. and then of course, there are the huge environmental advantages. according to the you and the jury produces around $2500000.00 times of plastic every year, making it the 9th was plastic polluter into wat presently waste is a problem for the environment. then leave on this or is about the green cable that

the skiff can easily be decomposed. so if a glass is self from the environment on like and for the a mice pull adults like 9 long by plastic that stays in the environment for a number of years. since the leisure and government to pose a bond on a single use plastics in january 2024. the reason not the good reason to use the leads it is a chance to turn back the clock and return to a lease with a long tradition here. when you say a 55 fuel, the miracle plant lease is very important here in southwest interior because of its health benefit, which it will. yeah. so you will need to go using the lease the route. so watch has been around since time in the morning. i've done really on the medical experts have also told us that using testing to that comes with progressive goodness. and to can

somebody to say palma, or in depth, i'll call you all back kind of stuff. the reason that these healthy sustainable resource can be useful more than just trusting fluids when needs in met, seen that can fabricate this me into sleep. i mean to call so that instead of using the sleep, which is a plastic plastic needs, a plastic kind of completes to eats. you have a bit, sal, it's on, it's a better option to use a nice, well needs and shape for you to eat. the fruit help to raise awareness of the benefits of these natural substitutes and make a key contribution to it. using plastic waste mold in cities done just suffer from waste problems. how's the shortages are a big problem to rank to

a rising space, a site. fortunately, there are many ideas been developed to solve some of these issues that slide crease in some parts of the water. the tiny house is becoming a trend as the name such as the small one room dwellings, but can be billed quickly and easily. but we wanted to build a they also climate friendly, a big trip for a small house, a tiny house. it's being set up in honda, the gemini, in the backyard of an apartment building owned by the municipal housing association . it was reduced in estonia and costs $10000.00 euros to transport. so for 4 of them have been set up here, costing a 2000 euros each blanket. daniel vice slips one of them. when i finished that type of i actually feel more comfortable in smaller space. it was but the problem was i'm more of a city person and until now there were no projects like this in the city. we didn't

know stuff got of the washing machine is suitably tiny, with just the 2 square meters of space. every centimeter accounts its minimalism down to a fine. and yet a 150 people apply to live here. daniel advised to give a powerpoint presentation before gaining approval. housing is good in many parts of germany, and the post people on a decent income could afford single family homes like these. but now they're in short supply and prices of sold the comp and to move to the on his part and indiana ranges. this is provided a business opportunity. they build tiny houses when they're finished, they drive them down the old of onto customers. tiny house estates, us bringing up all the gemini foods to the indiana range is also live in one of these communities. but for the most part,

local authorities only allow tiny homes on comp sites. that's because many town councils are reluctant to recognize this new type of construction. that's a house phone is of tiny homes. it's hard to understand many of the set up from want to be given equal rights mental health like this would fit anywhere. what does it matter if it's on wheels or not? do we actually build them with and without? we'll just need, i mean, why do we insist on these strict rules that stipulate houses in the village have to have red roofs or green roofs, or whatever it's nonsense stuff. it's pretty good. tiny house is already the plus is more. many also a seam, tiny homes are more eco friendly, but that's certainly partially true. it's certainly the case that tiny homes are often built of wood from managed forest, which is therefore sustainable. and they have a smaller carbon footprint. then buildings made of countries producing just one ton

of cement alone and met some and 600 kilos of c o. 2 spot. on the other hand, the tiny homes are less energy efficient, even though only a small roommate seating that room has a composite knowledge everywhere as outside was where heat can escape. in 2022. more than 1000000 refugees came to gemini spots. the increased the pressure on the housing market fund that into is pushing up orders for the tiny homes here in know of in germany. tiny house is already being used for ukrainian refugees . we made one family, he moved in here last year. younger place, shock considered as a self lucky, even though there were 4 of them living in this brand new tiny home. there's one bedroom for young son an assist window. another for himself and her husband,

the when his apology paid 90000 euros for it. yeah, and it says check to leave a small firm and ukraine. the whole family then moved to germany. her new home is small, but nice and young. a plastic says she can imagine living here with her family for quite a while. with, as we know, a lot of funded is getting quotes it bought by how much. exactly. and how quickly a citizen scientist is wayne is using his function to make a key contribution to existing knowledge, probably about even a whole b. how's the cost to make a difference? let's take a look. it's just after dawn, but whole set pasquals is a man on a mission. he's heading out to see the 73 year old collects weather data on

land and in the water. i was upset about eunice. the moment i use these special through monitors that you can lower into the see get uh back on in the process, you have to around 5 minutes of one glass. they flip over. if you spend display the temperature in the deep by now get on the amount of time to elect them. but i do like a in this, that proof in the past fall knows all about the sea and how to measure it for over half a century. the topography for and son of a fisher has pursued his hobby of the coast of the 13th in north eastern spring, weather permitting. he goes to see twice a week to document water temperatures in the mediterranean. is maybe the receipts. it's my life, that's my place. it's almost like a drug, a miracle here that ever since i was little,

it's thrill heat. i mean that is mainly because data like this didn't exist when i was 15 or 20 years old, then no, no idea that that was based on having reached his 1st measuring point post up, lowers one of his devices. it shows that at a depth of 30 meters, the water temperature is close to 16 degrees celsius. pascal says the sea surface has warmed by full degrees since he began taking measurements is pretty cool, but the sort of land must continue mode. it's worrying the scale because rising temperatures caused the water to expand and without leaving the sea level to rise, he loves and take those key. i almost know that we can see this on the beach. you'd like to spend the money a year. the half a meter narrower, i verify that the beach here has shrunk by 15 meters since 1993. did say that those was made out to go along with the temperature pascal measures the water, salt content which has to them for providing vital info. the fisherman, like

a sophomore, you have come to rely on this little 50 of them. we advised our workers closely connected to this data. and one thing, if we knew a bit more about at all like he does, we'd be better fishers for sure. who am i the walk in city? i want them to go to cisco. this i use piteous piano support at this deal. there are species of fish that can't cope with the rising temperatures by myself. sort of the others that are used to warmer water, you know, now come up nor that from more southern areas like a style. and of course, the morales posts up task well meticulously notes, the coordinates and measurements. then at the local tourist info office, he transfers the data to a website used by scientists worldwide. these dealers have you don't see it, but i'm still on my data in an american trade magazine and compare them to their own findings. got about the 2 in the hour. they said now they know their satellite instruments are working correctly. so delete this with you and then connect them in

pasquals collection of years of data has also made an impression in barcelona. at the institute of maureen sciences, researchers probe how climate change effects plants and animals and humans especially the arctic is affected, says oceanographer jordy slot, but so is the mediterranean. and other than that, we're observing bigger changes on the waters surface. then another sees around the world and there are regions we call hot spots and the mediterranean is one of them. you know that as it will meet the new pasquals, how the it has grown and important in this era of climate change, which is why it's his mission to keep taking measurements and do his bit to slow down global warming the

glen, able to get away. so, and it's painful because it's not a natural process or something, you can see how everything's changed and how the and how we're changing it and everything's interconnect apart. up the, i'll, even if only a small part becomes the stable on every things thrown out of balance. the full set past qual has no children. that helps to find someone to carry on his legacy. still, she plans to keep going out to sea and conducting his measurements, for as long as he can from spain we had sold tomorrow. cool way human induced climate change. he's already a fixing the countries. a good call to inform us that not only need to adopt how they want to and how this quotes the of placing wise and costs for the fuel they use to do it. fortunately, the increasing the able to turn to another abundant energy results. the sun solar

paul is gaining ground into agricultural sector. as most of the res that'd be sets up to cover on site energy needs the vacation ponds and we'll come from, i'm at the less us feels have been pod by the sun for 5 years now. you used to rely on pertain gas is full, so feel you guys have to buy into city and it has you thought we were determined to stop contributing to the damage being inflicted on our environment as well. so we decided to switch to solar power as a clean or a what didn't go friendly, alternative or motivation to any. it's a good investments occasion and then that kind, it's more profitable in terms of business and, and better for our machinery. this farm is located in can you try an average range? i need to know if it's in possible real code for the past 10 years with an olive trees of main leaving joining to send a saw here, which can only be done using triple vacation. the know what the,

what we mix in organic substance, i'm at the sand and the kind of how to, how can we put it into these holes. and you don't have that code because how these hoses function is just attributed already headed. and what was the heading of what was the ide heavy and the, the custom know i even and to keep the whole says from getting blocked out of several 1000 euros are invested in an elaborate filter system. the one that is pumped out of the catch basin is filtered before being spent through pipes to the fields. we'll see, i'm not a one. do you the other one he met? zip the filters need regular checks and maintenance just because they are vital to process or something in the motor cars and the document. they're especially important for what's known as a localized irrigation that which requires water and it's free of any sort of impurities paint is 70. so upon is required on investment was approximately $80000.00 euros. but the system meets all the funds, electricity needs. companies like check my rock. i've had the work cuts out in

recent years. i've technician installation technicians make regular maintenance checks, move out and look at them. so they've had level impair after turning on the pump. well, and the water immediately flows into the tank. and one of our searches now for the, the tumor, which is connected to filters you to have generals the water to be used for, irrigating the men, because she has a husband, can she did? extinction. so even though renewables already subsidized by the government, more and more from us, switching to solar palm, the last few years alone under that $10000.00 solar systems have been installed, the model corresponds tech. my rock is benefiting from vase trend. they offer solar panels with different ratings depending on how much electricity is needed. use mostly for vacation to trick purchase or make bio for to lies as well as a says green energy is was the investment. when in sun fell east, instead of investing in gas operated machine loss,

which are expensive and all that, we can opt for renewable energy that tells you, and it's actually very profitable. yeah, no, it's a cuts going because within several years what i can regroup the money to pay the equipment to any of you. and then after that, i'm making a profit was actually was the end of the call. we'll get some credit card. i need a new modem. so from us like i'm at the lesser can kill 2 birds with one stone and more, while also taking better care of the environment as such a large scale sooner. paula requires a lot of investment, which is slowing installations in many countries. and some places, since they don't still have access to any sort of in a trustee. a tool well as one young getting a veil in malawi is proven with efforts and the modulation plus a lot of determination. we can make a big difference to our local community and it can be sustainable to

only 12 percent of the population in malawi, have access to electricity. but that's changing in some places, at least like here in the jump jingle. things to this ingenious young inventor. understand, due to has harnessed the laws of thermodynamics that you 1st observed in the world around in gun rambles. gardening, while i'm in the room, i had to do some investigating what am i to understand the whole process? i do. how much easier leader i collected with stones that i used to make them actually wasn't able to do with the system, right. what do i do? system work it in there wise. the 19 year old is illuminating homes, one by one and transforming is home village in rural central. i'm allowing the technology is enabling residents to make more of the hours of darkness for work, study, or leisure. the technology specialists in the area are now calling for special
