360 degrees and explore fascinating. both heritage dw world heritage 360. now the one of the best ways to protect and preserve the environment is through local solutions that help communities list sustainably. well, we're checking out some of those ideas on this new edition of eco africa. i am chris alliance coming to you from league goes nigeria good to have you with us today. the valve is sold to crease initiatives that salt from the ground up can often set an example and influence people across the board is i am sandra holmes,

the 3. nobody you right here in compound you can do. here is what we have coming up . the quotes and almost in town they were using voucher reality to help the boys. they use a young interesting you, you'll be a we've a stylish solution to bostic pollution and how small scale form is kind of for the to replace dr. diesel. we've clean solar energy. let us begin a ride to in uganda where many communities, our son named via the amount of plastic with that is littering. the streets. clothing suit was on humming the environment. organize with management could help a lot until then. it is up to people like, you know, plus people to find creative on wanting ways of dealing with these plastic blake

life. you know, there could you come to you gun is anything but easy, but don't risk of you does not fall in the way on money collecting plastic bottles . the company is lead touch with them, including the small patch of land where she grows her vegetables. she sells the plastic with to a recycling company. what was the more on this topic about 24 year lease a month? cool me 5, buy a waste of plastic bag. see if i can get one. let me get 20 for your, let me. but it has to be heavy, the door is going to be the flood what to not keep a pro, vincent democratic republic of congo, about 80 years ago. she's one of the about 1700000 refugees living in new condo, most come from neighboring thoughts of done the democratic republic of congo, and ruined the country that i've suffered under conflict and civil war. as

a result, you've done that is home to the largest surfing the population in africa, meeting the daily needs. these like huge challenge. no duties of you guys touching over in the to young body, the food you settlement in west a new gun to that is the west collection point close to her from her garden. the payment arrives. those points on her mobile account. she can use them to make purchases and shops or get a cash disbursement. i need to come out, but i see that these people bring more plastics. you tubs, so environment. you know, the plastic chunk the environment. tell you my best of the plastic. this was the sort of fatality, the so it loses its flexibility. if we continue to collect plastic decided we gain it's fraternity. no. normally with a problem was already turning plastic recycling into a business. that was the idea of end up in your front. can you shop? he and his team also developed the of which went online

a year ago in 2 locations in the city of dean j and he's done. you've done the un here either. if you do come east west of the country and for equal plus time, this is just the beginning. we think it's possible to to how about this more than a 1000000 refugees engage in recycling as a business. and i need a small de la in the uh, from plastic recycling way to lose the environment. if we can do that, then we assure that that we are hating the triple bottom line, which is the people planet and, and plus by the doors, plastic has been brought from the come to the companies factory. mia come part of this is where the plastic is shredded and melted and then turned into roofing tiles . the tires are lightweight and cheaper to produce the conventional play tires and they can be dyed in various colors triplicate,

the appearance of natural clay or concrete. they've already been used on several roofs in kampala as we make them a 100 percent from plastic west. they have brick, red. they look like a normal crate. dies by the way, by the tooth ends, like wait with 0 breakages and reduce the cost of construction loss. the company recycled more than half a medium kilo swath of plastic bottles. that's a lot for a small company, but it's very mex, a dentist. the roughly 220000 tons of plastic with that's produced every in the country. so far, the gun and government hasn't come up with a plan to reduce plastic use. and there is no national recycling system to the dismay of environmental experts. you do that, i'm searching, i think it is around less than 3 percent of the plastics are being recycled and the rest is being displayed the is being thrown into the environment

as a result, plastic waste is a problem across the country. it's mainly local organizations that are trying to stem the tide of this young, bloody lessons, you come to the n g. okay. international brooks echo plus tile on board to help with the plastic recycling. what is get involved in the company? no more than 1000 refugees, i've taken part in the trash for caution program. the end you as also noticed that the program is making a difference. we have to do with the nearest ups when such intense or plastic corrected or by the opinion over the last 3 months. that is a lot in terms of therefore, you know, toner, plastic and being corrected in terms of removing it from the environment. but you're looking out to and every time that we have you visited for their critics. as for the, i'm going to get as for the plastic recycle, as for those who are picking press because the source of income with the us any incentive more plastic waste is now being collected for recycling. if you don't

have a front can with dish up, pays a visit to, to young lady is us to show how the up was on for many refugees here. ability to on a small income mix like huge difference. and of course the, in this kind of, most of us a single mother, we no longer with a husband when they abandoned us with the children's does yet. but this business has helped us about because we have something to do every morning who from can, will you show and doty is viewed, i have both in boston, a new past and its paying off the entropy. and you guys know, getting in touch with the organization so that he can launch is program even more if he comes collecting west plastic is one thing preventing good is another way of if you'll be in next to meet an answer for you who's settled to reduce the country's addiction to plastic shopping box does. right, sandra,

i'm how company is not just talking pollution in this time. this way. it's empowering women and creating jobs in the countries capital. the eco friendly in fair bags for men, women for work or for going out. and produced locally in ethiopia. impossible? well, not for keith is to aspire. she just found it to be up here in 20. 19. in this suburb of addis ababa, she just created 31 jobs for women like us. all the women are weavers and work from home. she just comes regularly to collect the fabric they make or after this, we use these 5 weeks for different states design for fox . so click on manage with the data. she just had the idea to start a business 5 years ago. at that time, she was a student and she was living in this area which is known for this big dump site in

2017 a land site on the site cause the death of at least 130 people. after this event, she just wanted to do something for the neighborhood. one of the reasons why that happened with the existence of select these functions, a garbage, a doctor, we got the concepts escalator back we. so it's at that time if we produce environmentally friendly shopping box, next step, our body shop each box. we can replace draft each box. but she soon realized that the initial capital needed to produce paper or fabric for shopping bags was too high for her. so she looked for another way to create jobs here in old domains will leave around here and that and also the incidents happen outside in this area. so i wanted to create that opportunity for 30 minutes. we'll leave it around here. to non you was one of the 1st employees of cheapest. that is very uh, i'm trying to see if she's due to the fall break as i want it or as i trained.

huh. so it's ok to non, you looks after 3 children. this work allows her to provide for a large part of the family's needs. with the money she's given me, i pay the rent for my house. i also have an extra jump doing she ruba has to do with the money from that i pay the rest of the food it's. it's all done on me with the fabric made by the women. he does returns to our office in the city center of addis ababa. the bags are been made in this small room cheetahs, selves $60.00 to $75.00 bags every month to cope with the crisis and to reuse the leather scraps she started to sell smaller and cheaper objects. like wallets were bracelets. she also often works at night to sell her products in a concert hall for the future. she dreams of selling more and more bags to create more jobs for women. and in the longer term, she loves to relaunch her idea of ecological shopping bag. building up

a small business can be a real challenge, especially when you're trying to be sustainable as possible. green solutions are often still also find out. she will reach for many, but it doesn't have to be that way. let's go to start again. now when i'm in the opportunity that project is helping small skill families make the leap to clean energy. it's a desperate scene. the water tank is bowen, dry, the ground water pump is broken, and the diesel kindest is empty. all abandoned by a senegalese pharma, overwhelmed by the effects of climate change and rising fuel costs. it's a growing problem here. they are farmers who use 1200 meters of diesel to irrigate a single heck to of agricultural that company. we are in the i s region in

north west in senegal region stretching 180 kilometers between the capital call and the city of san luis. it is the country's vegetable growing hub, but it's raining, less and less here. and the ground water levels are dropping. the young coal button d'ye, it is currently cultivating potatoes and onions on his 3 effective plot. but he's also managed to cultivate overseeing and other vegetables on this land. to until recently this antiquated to the diesel generator was a small hole, the only means of pumped the ground water onto disputes. now he has 9 solar panels to this clean energy is helping him to save money and keep his business afloat the fall every night before getting the solar power. and i was facing enormous difficulties because my diesel

permit, i'm because old more than 60 does of diesel offering broke down may i direct with the installation of the solar panels. my consumption has dropped quite $22.00 that i can't every day to my hire farm using solar energy. but i can switch off the diesel generate at noon and just use the solar power for the rest of the day. young coal button d, i boat, the solar panels with the help of a small load equivalent to 6000 bureaus. thanks to support from a state bank. the only has to be pay off of the loan. the loan was broken by an association in t is in the south of the region that represents more than 20000 vegetable farmers. my, my do the, i a has managed to secure a micro credit for solar panels for about 300 of these members by a sending a least financial institution. the long term goal is to d, called an ice bombing in the region and save livelihoods in the face of the time in

crisis seen with the local on it's a problem is we don't model nice. i'll ways of working and take into account of wiggling water resources. that's why we have to introduce solar panels so that farmers say money conserve water supplies, ad save jobs, drop a, got the no, no not at, lays on the block. when you go to the spilled diesel contaminates the soil and kind of get into the ground floor to like other farmers, young coal button b, i is confused. yes. think about the benefits of switching to clean energy for mazda and get that know what, what, what am i doing to boost the hospital that we have had across as about the harmful effects of using diesel? it's not just a smoke, the fuel can also pollute the ground and the harvest. but the pharmacy was to lose diesel. don't have any other choice anymore because anything, any more i'm on. when like i'm, i'm saying the guys up ask us all the new money to personally. i wonder if i'm any

more diesel on my feel. i the if i had 5, so like whether or not they, they, they, they thought it all. but the small whole, the content for to do that, that's a pay according to agronomist i'm. i'm a do so from the senegalese in g o n, deaf food willed so says the micro finance system, they have a big commas. the slow season going up. so simple, while i live within that is the interest rates are often a problem to them and they often too high. and that means that the producers frequently don't have the flexibility to commit to such an investment. davis is my that when you, what is the, what we are seeing is that people with more capital than the small whole, the other ones profiting from this kind of investment, not keep your, uh, but a positive that is more affordable solar facilities like young coal button b, i is good health regions, promise survived the new yeah, yes,

region is also crucial for food security. this for the child coastal strip produces more than 60 percent of the tenant goals, vegetable. rapid climate change caused by human behavior have been effect all over the world. on extra politics or to a place that's having to deal with too much water rather than to lead to venice in italy is facing rising sea levels. while on the same time, its foundations, us thinking the was from a city has already installed high tech flag, gets bonds. the a wondering easy enough or venice has fascinated the world for over 1600 years. and for just as long people have been scared of floods or worried that the city could sink into the sea. this is the latest attempt to

protect venice. 78 metal barriers that can be raised to separate the sea from the laguna. the system is called mos that signal triple symbol. if we hadn't had mos, the dentist would have been irreparably destroyed on november 22nd or 2022. it was the 2nd highest flood in history called, but nothing happened. we were able to protect the lagoon and venice of del, provide luna infinity. so the elizabeth to spits has already given the order to raise the barriers over 50 times, much to compare, search, see, and she's having to do with increasingly frequently. so the janetta 40 the okay for you to remove that? no no that removes it is a flexible instrument that does not always have to be opened and nor at the same time sir danville sent today. we know much more about the blacks and winds. so we're in a position to act again. flooding that out within 50 has the most a system only partially to guarantee the exchange of water between the sea and then

a good, very easy to go for somebody that does that mean venice can be saved. climate experts predict that the sea level could rise by 60 centimeters by the end of the century. the oceanographer gate arc when the keys and says that most it is just buying time the most house and he's moved enough to see fence game, a man. yes. at the moment, seen so definitely in the next 1020 or 30 years. but if the sea level rises by 50 centimeters and it will have to be used $300.00 to $400.00 times. that's once a day 1st. i mean, it wouldn't manage to shop that, it moves, it won't be able to cool as a structure, but nor will the lagoon manage it because it meets the exchange of water. i did, i want it, but i often always gosh, marco single vinny from the venice institute of marine sciences is researching the lagoons ecosystem. he says the frequency with which most a is being used has not yet had any major consequences. but this could change if

the lagoon is separated from the sea more frequently and for longer periods of time . the gas and mr. side of it could be that at some point, we'll have to decide whether it makes sense to maintain the lagoon is a salt water lagoon or not that oversee the long closures interrupt the cycle between the seat and the lagoon, which is fundamental for venice. and we're also open to them, you know, it's what creates the lagoon floor southerners, which determines what plants and animals can lives. there are the 2. we're going to face the tough decisions because they could understand the future whether to save the lagoon or the city. the nations would ideally keep both the sun marco is the lowest point of venice, and the 1st applied work is currently under way to raise the square. the going to my buddy now were raised to

a $110.00 centimeters in the square would no longer be under water because it would manage up to a $110.00 centimeter with like flooding and uh over a $110.00 centimeters come. and what was the system would close? so in other words, there would be no more flooding on my son michael. he says that venice says we know it cannot last forever in any case. at some point, the lagoon will have to be separated from the sea. and the venetians will be forced to decide what kind of a, by those cannot be rescued. we have to decide to save some vent investments. there is only one benefit, it keeps my, i'm been in a difficult decision. one venetians hope they will never have to make the pad to deal with what level problems may lie ahead. con, really help quotes in girl is around the globe. are trying to understand how to

adopt to an effects of climate change as you about to see some farmers in coming guessing some innovative on striking count. it's not your average teaching age virtual reality technology takes a bit of getting used to. but with the help of these headsets, kind of runing, cotton farm is a learning, have to adopt most sustainable practices, boosting their hobbies and their incomes. fit to do for much jump in this type of training, plunges farmers into a world where they can practice the message and practicing helps them understand the challenges better. go and adapt accordingly. let dr. new, hello. what do you, how the hokey learned how to, from cotton, from his parents? but now he's willing to try out new approaches and gain new skills. the high tech headset transports into a cotton field for an the most is learning experience. he can see the crops close

up from his desk along with any interest stations and dangerous pass. the training also shows in some creatures a beneficial, such as spite is the feed on the customer pin is the can destroy his cotton chrome . if i'm in the video from any like way right there in the video, we can see exactly what's happening. plus it's been a great help to us. it's been a great help to me. so i'm, i work with a company myra. well, in northern cal, marine is the center of the country's cotton industry, is the main cash crop growing in the region. and once the desirable land too is used to call production, many families depend on it for their livelihoods. are familiar to personalize it, including hollywood, g hello keys. when these 4 children are at school, his wife and 2 of his neighbors are going to help him with the harvest. kind of hokey is planning to put what he learned on the course about pest control in

sustainability into practice next year, when it's time to associates again, the units hit by at least to buy one used toxic chemicals because they cause a lot of problems. muskets i did on the buckle is that these i products kill all insight. and so if i have some a useful, okay, it will see you start to see that goes back to our animals and that bad for the air we breathe that i know so long as you did, i wouldn't use toxic fertilizes either yet i'll use organic fertilizer an estate team here and on top, see the farmer learned how to make who comic pesticides spray on the virtual reality course by mixing name. see proud of with water olive oil and a little washing up liquid. it's not on the back of the environment, the chemical pesticides. it's also a lot cheaper. the training sessions are organized by the international cotton advisory committee and finance by the gym and development agency. the g a is that,

it must have learning in a virtual environment that replicates real world situations is also cost efficient . it reduces the sort of expenses associated with stem to training methods, such as traveling fuel north and cameron and these, these are the, the rain phone, the rest of the country. and climate change is exacerbating the irregular rains and drought. to tell you up, i look for the sign. it was what it isn't rain, nothing rose, come on. that's a problem. also it is up. we'll see it even if the truck start to grow without rain and they wouldn't let them properly yet. but that's another one. of our challenges will see the farm is learn how to best help is to colton to preserve its quality and avoid dust contamination. hokey is also started using coal sacks rather than plastic, not least because that means less waste. 250 farmers have already taken part in the

virtual reality cools. a 90 instructors have been trained up to pass on the new skills is climate change. conference. com is with new challenges. hello g. hello okey and his family. a team to keep up with the times whether it is high take or low take, or a mix of the to the best solutions work best when they impart the people they are supposed to help. i am sandra cove, who's a 3 nobody signing go from complex right here in uganda. thank you, sandra and i am christa lansing lagos. nigeria, thanks for joining us and do checkouts echo off or go online for more great stories and ideas. see you again. next week the,
