Trauma and colleague mt the n. T. Hello 0. Of the fossil park in Lagos Nigeria and im looking forward to the show this week we celebrate some people who deserve to be celebrated ordinary citizens who through their actions do the a bit to protect the environment so lets take a look. Our young inventor from tanzania shows how Renewable Energy and changed village life for the better. Nigerian activists demonstrates that art and the environment of a good. And in south africa ellens are being moved back into their natural habitat to the benefit of the enviro. Hazy do you know that almost half of all the plastic produced in the world is used just once and then thrown away thats an alarming fact and we need to find Solutions Fast before the world drowns in plush ticks and not only that n. T. Experts say plastic also contributes to Global Warming from the production to their disposal they are responsible for the emission of huge amounts of Greenhouse Gases and that is keeping us from achieving Global Climate goals so its good that there are people like james like e. B. s from kenya eco africa mix up with environmental activists his message is clear make kenya plastic free as soon as possible. For many years he has been focusing its lens on plastic with germs what could be of the photographer from the cool kenya with over 17000 followers on twitter hes one of the most pronounced environment activists in the country using twitter he kicked off a social Media Campaign to fight plastic pollution. My social Media Campaign. Happened this week so for example. If i was in the streets and i would see a plastic bags. In there always i was a plastic months later in the environment ill take pictures can. One say took the pictures i would come and teach them and share them with the hash tag bomb plastic skate until august 27th when most people in kenya used plastic bags to carry goods from shops. That resulted in plastic quest all over the country. Then the government issued a rigorous. Anyone violating it faces a penalty of up 232000 euros a jail term of up to 4 years. A number of manufacturers and target is have been arrested and fined. While there has been quite a big big change you know. Then vironment has benefited. All a lot from the plastic but even if you look at the my background this is now gotten. Hundreds beauty free clean you know its its its its green there are no plastic bags you know plastic water or even straight to the streets are korean and brainstem ones. Plastic bags. Even the local dumpsite and is more at ease because of the decline in Plastic Waste but plastic bottles remain a challenge jim so i could be and fellow activists are now pushing the manufacturers to act. Ive always. Believed that those people who make. Income 0 make profits from plastic bottles they should ensure this some kind of deposit scheme where consumers. Of their products return those borders to some kind of a center where they are given some reward some here shillings. For each plastic bottle they take and then those voters are take it for recycling. Jim so i could be a ones to continue with his calls on people to practice a responsible use of prostate for him with the ban on plastic bags the 1st step has been met although there is still a long way to go Charlie Strong in from the National EnvironmentManagement Authority kenya agrees. When this came into being. As levels were not uniform across the country there was some heavy as well but that glance went very fast where harry s. Where it went also a little bit slower. For jim so it could be his hometown who is leading by example people here by my expenses bounce at the markets or use their own country about. You know that absolutely nothing can grow without one crucial substance that is essential to all life here on our planets water but considering that is all around us in every living thing the fact that hundreds of millions of people around the globe have no access to clean water is simply shocking thats why its good to hear that a team of engineers and brylin have come up with a solution that could drastically improve lives all over the world. Around 1200000000 people live in africa but millions and so. Africa have no access to clean water. Drinking and bathing in contaminated water is very dangerous. Engineers in berlin developed what they call a was a kiosk. The system was designed by alley al hakim and comment by hasty it desalinate filters and decontaminate water so its possible. Thousands of liters of water per hour. There is old is virtually germ free. And its tasty. The process is powered by a Solar Energy System attached to each watch the kiosk. 10 kiosks are in operation in kenya somalia and yemen. In kenya 20 liters sell for around 0. 40 thats a 10th of the usual price. The water kiosks not only supplying clean water but also free wifi access and outlets to recharge smartphones and they provide Job Opportunities for local residents. And how about you if youre also doing your bit tell us about. Our website or send his or tweet. Doing your. Story. Now another world like introduced. So i dont know his world were known as the man who stopped the desert year old from fossil began experimenting with planting techniques back in the late 1970 s. In that we have military eroded soil so our doggo has grown an entire forest on barren using natural like the zeiss system he says his work as a legacy for future generations and their way of fighting the effects of Climate Change in africa eco africa went. In the book in a fossil. Given group of. Cool these patched us assumed supports trees when yacoob us our dont go fast say that in the lead 970 is falling a long drought everyone said he was crazy since then his woodlands have grown to over 40 hectors bringing global flame to his home village of coca in north and booking a fossil there will get a pool hooked up. With the same method you dig a hole right where the rainwater would simple where you use after to prevent the water from draining out of the hole and put dried leaves in it the leaves rot to become composed to nourish the tree and exists water can escape at the site. Where you. Worked under your new government during the freshly planted trees get further nutrition from compost which you call bus or double mix on the site with his sons using a very simple technique quicky god who many pull to drag lives into this compost or then we add a little ready made compost an ash then risk tamp it down family after a couple of weeks its tax steaming and then we know the compost is finished no. Proper heat. Their work or our. Job though we were able to go through. The trees have been just flatly lies to the soil the also attracted insects including bees so a dog was set up some hives for them there one is become another source of income for his extended family. Uku but so our dog has been experimenting for years now he wants to pass his knowledge on not only to hes 27 children and neighbors and friends but will now much larger scale. On the part of him. But under the we are about summers and look at this forest this is where well build our Training Center to benefits nature and the animals and the people if the present getting comes with money for it to go towards the center for sharing government need an organ afford to go to where good. And trainee want to be limited to the ira for restriction techniques so i dont go once more. Coral there are roughly 90 different tree types 60 of them growing in this forest ive brought all kinds of sids back from my travels which of planted here and using Traditional Medicine without plants theres no medication and if you dont know what to do with the plant maybe someone will come along and show you one day so a dog or swears by Natural Medicine he knows which healing oils leech medication can be extracted from the frauds backs and routes his reputation draws and well people to him every day whom he and his children treat in these hearts. And i built these houses to walk more deaths the sick here they can recover and one of the huts is my store for dried leaves and 3 bags that i need to treat people weve. Already operable want to provide them healing with nature while nature heals us our dog was pham has spread hes now proudly known as the man who stopped the dessert on top of that the water table has risen a whole 5 meters then tire region has become more fire tale. Well thats all a double has been awarded the alternative nobel prize for his lifes work and hes already making sure his ideas live on long after hes gone. What an amazing man a true inspiration now lets head over to tanzania to see how ideas that make environmental sense can also make economic sense. Right auntie now what people in rural areas need most is Reliable Energy supply and clean water in tanzania only 10 percent of the population is connected to the grid terminal conformable is a young innovator whos solving that problem with renewables and the help of some selftaught engineers lets see what theyre up to. Tommy mckee phone who is a man with a mission has already built 10 wind generators with his partners 2 years ago they founded the company team success at the beginning they started welding for other companies but soon realized that they could build windmills themselves most of the staff comes from remote regions in terms anea electricity and water i had to come by not even a flood of concern ians have access to electrical power. C c by the time on a child a mortal yeah but you have you seen as young people in our villages we faced the challenge of drilling and getting water out of the bore holes by the sierra and especially pumping water out of feet was the main challenge. Thought of finding an alternative way of solving the problem in the area a mile it always started thinking of how the problem could come to an end of scale. Today i went by needs to be repaired the Company Owners are fixing it themselves a small windmill costs between 3000. 505500. 00 euros more than half of the windmill sold run water pumps as well as produce electricity. This is a windmill driven water pump project that the system uses wind power to pump water from this source bt river and lake. This one is for it. And it is used to pump water to households. That. Lie for the farmers he has gotten easier previously in a civil war mari had to fetch water far away in the wetlands now thanks to the pump the water flows all the way directly to the farm as long as the wind is blowing this plenty of water. To work on with this project has been on for a year in the half we have seen changes in running our businesses because our work t. V. Does need a lot of water and now we have plenty the farmer raises chickens and grows vegetables hes had the windmill for one and a half years now it makes his work easier and allows him to make important investments with the extra water he can plant more crops and purchase more animals. At the companys headquarters in derry salaam time in looking forward to the team of 20 patmos none have ever worked in the field before and only 4 of them are trained ingenious they all learned how to build wind generators on the job using you tube to turtles when they started letter they had the idea of connecting them to water pumps which turned out to be their most important innovation to date. Whether we want to divert his father to be able to distribute water in most of the villages so even the government can come in and help in distributing water to other areas especially past released and farmers the same thing again. Things off with i really wish to get to the point of helping the entire community. Or you know i dont understand i forgot why. The government has been planning a major wind power for years but it is a long way from being finished meanwhile local Solutions Like to mimic the phone was providing water and electricity at least to some villages. And from one kind of creativity to another now im standing on it too is an arts graduate based here in lagos was decided to use his creative skills to remind humanity to care for the environment with music poetry photography and painting he speaks to the Younger Generation in a long way they can relate to and proves that the art of powerful medium for conveying the message that mother earth needs to be cared for. By. His a single you really need to listen to mine to an artist stanley and then to has written songs and poems to encourage more people to look after the environment. His sons focus on water and drought the felling of trees and police and the loss of africas animal population. Climate change. And vironment protection. You know all those things are into things well celebrity here because the average person in this part of the ward its more interested in some viable. The f. And animals catch with a reflective pen when it comes to Environmental Protection stanley sets an example his way. Instead of brushes he uses different colored light bulbs. Lights out and the magic begins. Its transition from green and healthy to the Alarming State that its in today captured through the lens of a camera. Usually a painting done with oil or acrylic on canvas to take a couple of hours to a few days depending on the size and theyll be considerable waste this is done in just a few minutes and theres no waste. When you use things like or you cant just expose it to either end of the data or end up in the environment so this helps us mileage are pretty cheap tools which are in action in our environment that its invested gives us the appeal that we expect to get from us. This isnt how stanley used to work a graduate of fine and applied arts he painted like regular artist with oil acrylic on canvas is made over 300 pieces using this new method and now sells multiple copies of each piece around the world. The truth about that you got with abusing her me so much. I mean im very frightened when i when i mean when they seem to me that the nature. Of their job. Is to be the. Blame the family and its a once the rest of the world to pay more attention to the environment he believes in the path of music to bring about change or treat. A tree. A tree if you dont. Meet. Some people listen to my music. Listen to what. Capsulated up. Over. You know. You just have to listen. And get the message stanley and its always recording new songs audiences love his music and he gets a lot of radio and t. V. Airplay maybe one day people will just listen well take action to.
