what do you think that is knowing the comments and don't forget to subscribe to our channel, the roads. that's those had some pretty good ideas and some of them can even help improve people's lives today. welcome to eco offered co. i'm chris alarms joining you from lee goes nigeria, what works best is often a combination of traditional wisdom mixed with cutting h innovations with gold both on stays. so i m, sandra the homes that tween over you right to compensate you going to it is great to have you with us. here is what we have. i mean,

that indigenous blonds provide women in united with food and income. why more wind turbines might soon be made of roots and notes still? n y c shuck dying out of the cost of ben bike. but we start right here in uganda. oh, well me, population goes hunting hunt with a blooming construction sick to and that can take it stored on the environment engineer is looking for or the tennessee used to climate demanding materials and they have come up with some promising ideas. a district dr. pressed and not fired in the killed the middle sons, and up until the segment and a lot of muscle power and no votes. since there's no killed, you're going to actually take steven duco believe

a switch to alternative construction materials is long overdue. when you drive through many forest, then the 40, so don't feel that documents surrounding you. so the problem is that we need to stop fighting bricks to make to make our house is about a quarter of each week is made out of segment bill and the simon 20 fracturing produces a lot of the youtube. but the inter looking brakes are easy to assemble, full, they need less segment, the regular ones. the book that comes out is the intel ok. it looks at the top, the sides and the bottom. so by that's we, as where we reduce the amount of the same inches to deal with that structure. and that's where we are reducing the emissions, very dissing, the segments on the, the amount of cheese that's or vegetation that would have been cut down to, to know that to produce a break or to build a house. in uganda. most house is

a student made out of q and fi. it breaks, which mostly use firewood, thousands of small brick making businesses like these throughout the country. and the ongoing housing shortage means the brakes are in high demand using pressed brakes and states could help save a lot of plywood the homes and still look the same as with a home owners. they also offer other benefits constructing. we've, instead of looking groups enabled us to have our buildings in less than for 2 months. it's 15 our budget. and then we also sue because of the money that would the views to transport, to my, to yours. the construction industry is a major climate tequila segment. one is lecturing accounts for some 8 percent of global coupling emissions. that's why engineers us

cutting ways to reduce or eliminate segment in brick making, including my view on a new one hand is that she works for echo concrete, a company that's mix simmons using of full kind of ash, traditional segment you've made out of limestone and firing it meets massive amounts of youtube. when you hit one kilogram of lamps, then you image a bo, it's 44 percent of it is comp windex. i do under 1855. so for one time, when you, within oh, as a production emissions, you find that for one time, you're in, meet them both internet because they're going to come by next i to the about how for the it's the engineer has been working with students at mckayla is a university income pilot on the new process. volcanic ash is plentiful in uganda, just like an ordinary segment. the recipe calls for sodium hydroxide,

but the mixed it doesn't needs to be heated. so the process use is 5 times less energy than limestone. base 7th result is what's called g, a, pull him up segment. that test tub shows that this product could cut emissions by 80 percent compared to port and then segment which is used around the world. we've been using it and looks building books and those are done with the absorption this and this much is up, prevent to be better then we're clients and meant the engineer and the architect share. a common goal to help make uganda is construction industry more sustainable . the missouri took the book into our way towards the it's how they get to work. but to engineers is different actually have this, this to innovate and read, use that come mondays and emissions as someone who started in the building profession, i could take to and then with my colleagues in engineering were responsible for

many of the design. so that 1st it's tough with us, that'd be commendations or big or the specifications or give to our plan. was steven zucker has been using his bricks for several years. my view on a new i hit a is a, is a starting pilot production, and hope to soon get the green light from local, fully to it's amazing how just one good idea. it can have such a positive effect on people's lives. and next report to stay with the elements and go from water to wind power. we all know wind turbines are great source of clean energy. yes, they are, but the actual construction of the still turbines can use a lot of couple of the upside that gold, innovative, and sweet and thinking. what about making them from a different material?

wind power, reason find mentally friendly, but building the towers isn't the materials have a big carbon footprint, especially when that towers are made of steel as nearly all of them are nowadays. that's why this swedish company, marty has to turn to a traditional construction material. quote, i did something to make the move davids and built out a full modules which were assembled into a tube section to do stuck them on top of each other. and in the end, you get a total tower for month. fee on the sky's the limit. man, before you're going to build up to 214 meters, the 1st commercial turbine is already been erected in scott. ok. northeast of golf in burke. it's not quite that tall yet. just 105 meters. the towers made of layered laminated wood vets bent into shape, as in the most um, doing what together is much stronger than bolting or screwing. it must be on says

the wood is fine sustainably. the 1st commercial tower is equipped with the 2 megawatt turbine. and like steel wood can also with the stand, the harsh conditions of offshore operation, federal water and still don't go together, wouldn't more to work great together, we protect out house with the coach on the outside so they can withstand the climate and see the or that can move in 2021, the damage company, invest us invested in the might be on scarred up. they also built the turbine in scott off, if the innovative would turbine towers catch on. it could help make wind power even greener solutions like that can really the you mind. for our next report, we stay in contact with you and to head to an island. what a body in denmark, the looks beautiful, but in fact has almost no married life left to eat. that is because the water is in very poor health. the. the politics see with its stunning

nature, is one of northern us most popular travel destinations. and the coastline along by the field is one of denmark's most expensive residential areas. but it's superficial. beauty is deceptive. he's weekly fishing trips continue to show the show las amigos in how the feud is slowly dying. below the surface l. d. 's blooming clouding the water and depriving fish and underwater plants the vital life and oxygen. scientists footage shows how the bottom of the fuel it has become nearly devoid of life in waters that once were full of cod flounder and loved fish. it used to be a real fish, as paradise says nicholson. but now there are almost no fish less. he's been going out to sea for over half a century because then had hoped to continue fishing off to

retirement, to supplement his pension. now taking the boat out is not really worth it anymore. somebody that is a new and he makes me both angry and frustrated. nobody is really doing anything special. no it, it seems like those who should be taking action are only trying to shift the blame on the 2 point. oh, excuse me. no, no, no, no. i didn't make a since mine denmark's farm is to blame. the small country with just under $6000000.00 inhabitants is home to twice as many cows and pigs and many farm is used fertilizers on the fields that eventually end up in the c christian medicines finalize only a few kilometers from the field. he says he has already cut the use of nitrates to the bare minimum. he uses satellite images to monitor which fields need to be

fertilized and which can do without. but he thinks it would be impossible to give up fertilizers altogether. i think it's a good thing that we have reduce the nitrogen, but i don't think we can get any further. i think we are the lowest limit that we can accept as a farm. plants need nutrients. the green one grow without them since the pharma and since reducing the use of fertilizes his plan, so already only surviving on what is left in the ground. a mads p. as the christianson is aware of the problem. as a nature manager, these are the seeing a project and restoring the ecosystem invite yes, your, you know, is the odd facts and numbers. at this point, we know for a fact that the 80 percent of the nutrients emitted to why the fuel it comes from

funding. we also have 10 percent today from, from the up in waste water and maybe 10 percent from, from fish farming. but that is the range and that's uh tell us a little bit about where we need to have the nitrate run off regularly closes out the gross to explode. the balloon covers everything in the field. even killing that you gross due to like the probation that same you across is one of the most important elements in the ecosystem along the baltic sea coast. it produces oxygen and provides habitat for smaller fish. that's why christianson and his team from the municipality. i've taken to planting you beds of you gross invited your feud. but the restoration project is complicated. artificial rates are being built and muscle fonts created. these blue muscles filter dirty water, which in turn allows more light to penetrate deeper fuel gross can return and therefore

produce oxygen. but when too many nutrients are flushed into the sea, again, causing the algae to return, the fragile balance is thrown off and the nature manages concerns not restricted to divide. you fuel. we have hit this breaking point the, the system has collapsed within the last 56 years. so that's just the beginning. we will see this, this situation is over the baltic. along the coast. the eco system of the inland sea has become disrupted the last sent because insight is little other than crowds in the nets. he puts out in the value field of the since they no longer have any natural enemies that become a plague. destroying that you gross eating the muscles and killing the young fish. did code mucus in hopes

that everyone in the region would take more responsibility and act to save his fuel . because the problem, denmark is currently looking to solve is already threatening. the voltage sees entire coast that is certainly a warring situation. we all need to take responsibility for the good of a planet and talking of responsibility. few in africa it's we women who certainly curry and lots of it up to roll. we're still very often the ones who look up to the home and the funny, including of course, the pairing meals and the fresh produce for those meals often come from the markets, which is great. but in the heat, a lot of it's full quickly. luckily though, there is a very cool solution that has the pot to make that problem. a scene of the past on the outskirts of lagos, fruits and vegetables, i've been going for the more than 15000000 inhabitants of nigeria largest city.

that hasn't been room for that. the did the city limits for a long time now wrap it up and growth means it takes long got to get produce from the farms to the customers. that means that harvested vegetables have to be delivered quickly as there was a lack of refrigeration facilities across the country. lots proportion of fresh produce wells before we can be sold. it's something that's frustrated. ramos out loud. okay, ever since you opened up business, 13 years ago the my thought is that we try to sell new produce before the end of the next day when it's very sunny model because our rates. so it's going to quickly just say, you know, the price drops when it's no longer a fresh, but i'm, before i sold these for almost 10000 now doesn't look now. i have to sell them for less than $6000.00 there. once they've spoiled, we have to to them out. it's

a waste news money. at the same time, many people, the illegals, haven't got enough to eat. mack of somebody that is a found, the biggest food bank that distributes food to those who need it. he says, food waste is increasing. i have written down wish to about why i need to night, kilograms a foot by year. more than 40 percent of the for the produce is lost across the entire quarter of value to the value of food that goes to waste. right? um on one event, julia is more then several and also about time i don't have that capacity to install for a long um fuel stand for future say a lot of food are in soaking land fuel costs, easy greenhouse gas emissions that affect the climate. there is one solution to the lack of cold storage space. cold tops was developed by my julian starts up financed by a wide range of international investors. we intend to extend the shift life of this

for this form to, to about 20 to one days. so this courtroom has been helping a lot to solve the program. of course, how this little series on food with gold helps now operates in 28 states in nigeria and has over 6000 customers. the walking cold rooms are located next to markets are on farms and i cooled entirely using solar energy. customers like trade, copy rooms to pay the equivalent of $0.20 a day for store trait the vegetables to him. it's worth it now, he can charge higher prices for his produce because it stays fresh for much longer . when i do close to one, when the keys i see and k, i the one i'm not the full. we used to buy small quantities the just semester and i sure would sell out the same day. okay, could anyone do that? but now do we have the cold rooms? i mean, we've been buying a bulk installed in without any problems at any time that kinda can meet the

customer's needs. and by simply setting what the us for, for the toner and sort of asking them to come back the next day for them call me back or you can cuz you can see it unless i added the guy to me. if that was the, it would be looking how many trade is, how is the cold storage remains? the dream solutions like cold have, i still is very limited and there's a know most demand, some 220000000 people living in nigeria. and the population is growing faster than almost any other country in africa. we're staying with the topic of food in our next report in many rural communities. and so hilde rate and women are re discovering in pictures planned study, gro wild, which will once unimportant part of the process, those diets, in terms of climate change. these have many benefits the women of scale, that plucking the leaves off the twisted branches of good trees as

a village of dun buddha, there in demand. the women could have is the leaves all year round, using them to cook to sell at the market. in the nearby town, those in there. and that when i brought it in, before we used to go into the bush to customer would double, could sell to buy food. and then one day i went to sing the for a foreigner, all my relatives took me to so harass, so helpful in the neighborhood and told me that the buy i do have foods does that dates. so i started selling these to them is because there's 2 plots from left to me. so why would anyone by i do it for me it's, but then to are this drawing to me, you know, for, to women? do we get to harvested market native? well, plants came from joseph gotta be he grew up in the jay and had long been thinking about the benefits of reviving native trutland trees, such as the wild tons of species. and they used to have hands out. they used to eat

tons of it only in times of hardships. so when we started working that with them, we started buying their homes. at 1st, they were reluctant, they didn't think we were serious, but they realized that we were actually serious. we were actually buying it and they got involved in harvesting lots of homes and delivering to us. and they became very happy from the extra income they could make. but we weren't quite satisfied because they were harvesting in order to sell us. but they were still considering it something that they'd rather not eat themselves. now this dr. to change their minds as a social enterprise. so how does that help foods raise as a way that's in local communities about native trees that can provide nutritious leaves fruits and seats. and they've learned to appreciate that new years ago we had the special ed training program and we were showing them different recipes, different ways of preparing homes up and making a nice, vicious, nice news from it. and that's really is struck on so the year after

they said that they had very little homes up to sell us. and the reason they said was, that's well basically, now they were eating the hands of themselves. so instead of selling it to us, they'd rather keep it for their own needs. exactly the result he'd wants it. so how does that help food says with activities in the region says 2014 and these days works with 1500 small farm is and 80 villages. they supplied. there was fruits and meetings from over 20 local 10 species which are then used to produce oil, jam spices and pastry. 60 products are now sold around these. you have some of them also export it. a net by as up until today, many people thought that these disputes are just local stuff and don't have any particular value. they so most about them because they just grow wild in the bush. but now people have begun to understand the product. so useful. for example,

adult to is it sunday or national hospital prescribe foods or my show such as hens up courage which helps diabetics kind of guide your so how does that, how foods could 3 causes of popular today instruct uh how well i have booth is showing the women, what they can do with hundreds of fruit. it has a high protein content. the well that's why i was, i would. why do we have taught them a lot of things such as how to cancer? we've sold beat from home to tooth, which did you didn't know? tons of power rich, which did you didn't know either on to do bayport's, biscuits and them basically we thought them a lot of recipes, homeless available. why do i, can i'm go what i'm joseph. got if you learned a lot somebody's norwegian father on a gobby was a young man when he immigrated to initiate with his wife to begin collecting seeds

from indigenous plants and re sewing them using a direct feeding method side as to how food successfully we planted. 160 local varieties in this way. the farm was followed suit here, the communion of dog. oh. but in fact allow me to as drums into many of the trees were planted by the farmers themselves. the whole idea of diag sitting is that you can teach it to the farmers and the farmers can teach each other. and um, and then once you get the at the, what we call the v c. economy established, it will have its own momentum. and i would like to inspire people not only here, but all over the world to use their indigenous perennials. just of gobby also teaches at the university of linda. he works together with dr. i

do not do. the topic of local wild plants is also on his curriculum, and it's already been sending students to train with enterprise since 2018 the domain desired as a how to read the. so her a saw her food site has become a training ground for our students and was a to deal. it's where they go to learn about the plans that are most often found in the arid and semi arid zones here in new charities and see me, i need to see when is yeah. after 10 years in the region, gabby's project is flourishing. many spoke to the farming families are now extracts and various local variety and how to care for them and not passing the insights onto the children. because i see, you know, a child, well what you from a very young age, i might have to understand that it's with the income from these efforts that will buy them switching items. so she follows you know, full steps. and that's why,

from time to time, she feels trees to mean that you still have the regular income. i can feed her family well. she lives in being able to build her own house that the small seeds have borne fruit. so there is still a lot of work to be done. well, we blonde and load again this week. we hope you've enjoyed the show as much as we did. i m sandra holmes, that we nobody else signing of from complex. right to you got to a and i of chris 11. see an idea of thanks so much for joining us. and don't forget to head to eco off or go online for more insight to stories and drop off the line at eco dw dot com. so you again, next week the
