Sandra im now outside were here in lagos and im glad you could join us today show will take us on why and to bolster gardens on city rubes just an example of ideas protect our environment and make it a bit more livable heres whats coming up on the show who will be taking a look at how theyre using plastics to build roads in south africa. What tiger needs doing to stop a thought i was killing lions. And how a German Company is pondering environmentally friendly back to recycling. Trust sandra has todays top story over to you something new to our top story is really all about hip we ladies in africa love to change our health so its really like them straight calling long shots and 4 of me in bright colors pale weaves all extensions maybe the onset but theyll open made. Which results in a lot of waste now a young woman in pain will think less synthetic extensive but im not sure environmentally friendly material she didnt want to price for it. For many women their hair is their corning quarry if they are lucky it just falls into place and shines but sometimes even the loveliest hair needs someone at this hairdressing salon in nairobi they use i sew for head extensions and braids in a wide variety of colors the owner of the saloon i assume took us a bully came up with the idea to use a fibers in head dressing she founded us with braids 2 years ago after kenya had banned single use Plastic Products and to then hex tensions were usually made of plastic i prefer. On say so because big boys may when grain phone doesnt they make him roll in doesnt cut it when being painted size of 5 by extensions are not just eco friendly they also proved to be cheaper over time the hairdressers here say demand is growing. Braiding with size so here is very good because even when my clients and do their hair they still use them but if unfed to care is only used one is safe and then thrown away the difference is that this text will not to braid unlike synthetic hair and it also states know that within 30 care i braid very fast i sometimes dries once a week took america almost 400 kilometers west of nairobi to cover size a lives and process the 5 pence together with my employee as i can malacca. There fibers are soaked in alcohol in solution to soften them and then left to dry. Then they had died and packaged each set says 4 they quiver went off one us dollar some took us a boor is confident she could grow our business in relation to common this invention is due to the notice from the Central Government of kenya. They said that this is the emphatic we are polluting the environment i removed and right on me so i stayed and thought how to remove synthetic ones when i tell you this in the thick then they take their biodegradable natural hair on a mans back to this i dont in nairobi 10 of their regular customers are committed fans of the new braids and extensions i sometimes as a buri has enjoyed the support of the think positive i tentatively exist Mentorship Program run by the just so we talk money centime she dreams of sending her eco friendly fashion products around the world one day but for now she is concentrating on the domestic market in kenya. Those expenses they dont slice of can be use the full force it so theyre not really a budget in that environment but he thinks about about how buffys whats going saying oh false toxic substances traditional ones have these on us it and new ones for and thats because may help with young couples nicole and other metals that are not only dangerous but. Somewhat only of all its a lot of these chemicals can be separated unfixed lent now a company and so many cars pushed up the recycling efficiency considerably. Germany is car country statistically every 2nd president owns an automobile christiane how nish does to the engineer also knows that when old cars end up in the junkyard a mountain of scrap and waste is created hunnish wants to salvage and recycle as much of the old cars as he can and hed like to me. A living from it. He runs a Small Company that recycles car batteries. He specializes in batteries for electric vehicles which contain a lot of valuable Raw Materials especially metals. But its not easy to extract them and it can also be dangerous. But that didnt discourage the businessman. Best make me out of the batteries already out so it makes sense to extract the real materials and reuse them we saw a huge potential in that. So 10 years ago the process engineer founded the dusun fed company this special shredder is at the heart of this firm it shreds the scrap batteries turning them into granular it. Theres a good reason for the thick steel plates in the machine they protect the inner walls from the liquid components in the battery electrolyte which is highly explosive. Finding a way to separate the electrolyte from other components was the biggest challenge it took connors 10 years of drawing calculating and testing now the pure battery fluid flows into a steel tank. This is the electrolyte fluid no one else can do that his Company Sells it to the chemical industry. The granulated lands in the sorting machine which results in a grayish powder. At 1st glance it doesnt look like its worth much. So i dont be fooled this is the fuel for electrolytic it contains lithium cobalt nickel and manganese and thats what we want to extract. To do that tarnish needed experts on chemical processes he found them at a University Close by professor to a b s albert knows exactly which acids can be used to extract the Precious Metals without dissolving them. But isolating numerous metals from the great powder is a challenge even for him he was so taken with the idea that he became a partner at deuce and felt. In the meantime the specialist in hydro metallurgy is able to break down the grey powder step by step into its components cobalt sulfate carbonate nickel sulfate and manganese sulfate. In this pure form the precious Raw Materials can be used in the production of batteries. To keep the impact on nature small as possible its naturally desirable to keep the cycle of Raw Materials are small as possible the dusun Field Company has proven that it can extract Precious Metals from batteries albeit on a small scale soon though these special shredders will be placed at various locations around europe. And instead of the recyclable powder christiane harnish wants to be able to sell the Precious Metals themselves for that though he needs his own chemical factory funding to do i know a lot of thinking about it all but its wonderful when you see that what youve come up with is being put into effect. He can already recycle 75 percent of the batteries he gets his competitors only manage a 3rd of that as a pioneer in recycling christiane hunnish has shown whats possible. Now its time for this weeks doing good its already a good idea for the environment so you think that continent rustic well in the eastern cape rita the new haven 15 idea was going to be tested in a few countries but its hes already looking like a field all the nitty to conversation off all meds something. Thats right sandra and its good for our continent away its got Profit Growth uses up waste from 1800000 profit bags off 600 on to 3 bottles and kidneys are kind of ways. Will definitely make a difference. In south africa only 16 percent of Plastic Waste is recycled. The rest ends up in landfill sites all the environment the municipality of Port Elizabeth is now building the 1st of a plastic road in the region the asphalt makes contains pellets made of shredded Plastic Waste they come from a firm in scotland that wants to test this new kind of roadway in south africa. The right that is that where you are with them but i think that would not be the thought going on. For the right but. By removing a protected on the bridge about reducing them but there are. Why mention the need for you. Know about the department of the world. Obviously reducing the fact that got into that boat. And pretending to be. The company says that compared to standard Asphalt Concrete roads thats also last longer. If the test proves to be a success the company will consider building a plant in south africa to process locally generated Plastic Waste each kilometer uses the equivalent of 684000 plastic bottles making the environment a little bit cleaner. And how about you. If youre also doing your bit tell us about it. Visit our website or send us a tweet hash tag doing your bit. We share your stories. Now humans and wild animals living in the same region not a good mix. Often hunted and killed lions in retaliation for the big cats attacking their livestock. Spirit or even poison and. They killed. Now a project thats trying out a simple solution to ease the problem making friends being areas where because i can spend the night in safety. People have protected their herds. Using natural barriers made of shrubs and bushes cows and goats are an important status symbol and a vital source of income and food and sometimes get into the corals in times of drought the natural virus can dry out so the messiah have gone on the offensive the predators themselves are becoming prey the difference is that today beyond just a spear people can pick up poisons they can pick up guns and that means that they can kill a lot more animals in one go and so instead of just losing one lion in a conflict incident we can lose the entire prize up to 1015 animals at a time. Experts estimates that around 37000 lions lived in the african savannas 2 decades ago since then the number in africa has dropped by 40 percent and put the lions on the list of species considered vulnerable to extension the main reason is the loss of habitat and lack of prey but on open 7 as well lions still roam poaching for body parts and revenge killings are the next most significant threat not only in tanzania this is the big new sort of red flag on the rise and lions are now being killed all over Southern Africa in large numbers and never have their faces cut off their feet cut off or think its more than 50 lion monitors from asika munity as have been trained by the African People and Wildlife Initiative in tanzania theyre there to convince members of the tribe to protect the lions instead of killing them. Warriors like 20 petro is one of the monitors he thinks its important that both humans and lions have enough room to live. Where if we were to continue protecting these lions our children we continue seeing them and future generations will continue seeing them and they would then protect lions because they will be educated to do so. Thousands of these live in fences made of acacia trees and chain link fence have been put up with the ngo. The modern fence makes it more difficult for alliance and to the corals and in this way it reduces the size loss of life stock. Been several years like 9 years thats the time ive had it leaving fans have not been attacked once never good cows absolutely. In 201715 lions were killed here for attacking livestock. This year reports only 2 had been killed thanks to the living quarters and the work done by the lion monitors. Its been beneficial for all sides the Lion Population can recover and so can the herds in messiah community. Now ive had 2 of the waters best time in west africa a sanctuary around the black border reviving northwest and ghana is the only natural habitat for pygmy hippos in the country a couple of years ago there were only 2 conservation efforts by the local community have helped them bounce back activists believe they are almost 40 hippos living around today of course. One of those hoping to catch sight of the rare reclusive animals have a good chance here in northeastern gonna near the border with ivory coast and bikini. Youll often see the head spot being in the waters of the black belt a river. Pygmy hippos of you just totems by people in the area there especially important as cultural symbols for the wall are unloading tripes. After law is the high school is one of the chief ranges of the west community hippo sanctuary he recalls how local village chiefs founded the Conservation Program 20 years ago. The reason for protecting the people and the environment is to keep the poor life and we turned it into a side so that children in the next generation will know our polity he pool and the. Poor also use the. Opportunity for their well. The tourist season has started up again but the roads leading to the area are bad and the journey is difficult. Tall guy gibney have says that prevents many tourists from making the trip thanks to the Conservation Initiative the number of pygmy hippos here is increased from 2 to almost 40 the project has also been boosted by the number of visitors who come. Really interesting because. People all over the world and we receive this reindeer in our 80900 every year so the numbers increase and because of that where we are we i work for my community and we get benefits from the project and my Community People are poor. Visitors pay around 6 year olds for a tool thats a weeks wage for many people in ghana a large part of this income is divided among the villagers in the protected area. As a result these women and girls no longer have to walk all the way to the river to fetch water all the residential areas now have their own wells co financed by the century. The center also runs an alternative livelihood project in beekeeping the beehives attended by local people sales of the honey will provide additional income for 5 communities here. So what is going to happen as the harvest and they have a deal they can sell and then use the proceeds to put more hives into the fence and also get a profit out of that they use their money to send the children to school to buy clothes for the children one of the local people who has benefited from the hippo Protection Initiative is some island of beauty. His teacher training was paid for by donation. The 24 year old has been back here for several years and now teaches children in one of the villages in the protected area. I disagree level are subject to chop i took a lot of english language teaching them because most of them are british fluent when it comes to spoken and there was a pretty much attention to whatever residence would be r. Or d. Adopted what we call good or quality listeners girls. Right now and july is a haiku its busy assigning his people to the new safari routes the century success over the past decades has motivated neighboring communities to several villages further up the river now want to join the initiative to benefit from protecting pygmy hippos. Our next report takes us of a different capital do you know what the population of carries over 9000000 it being clear greater carries out to be over 20000000 than makes it the 2nd most populous metropolitan area in africa after of course my leader and also you know near to the large cities come with a lot of problems like meeting the citys food needs there was plenty of farmland along the nile of course and egypt still imports i love to shoot now theres also a nice city that is wanting to use the citys rooftops as gardens lets bear visit to one of these green or says. Oh. Every day mohammed to her tends to his garden for 3 years now the morrison has been planting different vegetables on the rooftop terrace of his mosque in the quarter of a teen. Its a patch of green in the concrete jungle of cairo. Illinois. Im mainly looking to create a clean atmosphere in the area and on the roof but not much more than that. The income generated from this goes into the Charity Trust here at the mosque. He often brings his grandchild along he really loves role cayle. Mohammed didnt have to pay for the equipment kyra based organization should do for installed it for free. Shareef cousin e. And his brother set up the n. G. O. S 8 years ago they decided to work with hydroponics because that requires little water and no soil and the space for the efficient system on practically any rooftop. I let a lot of us and mother did that for families with low income this kind of project can raise income a little bit. Of them inferred be valuable for that so it doesnt have only environmental benefits but also social ones. In poorer districts like hell while roofs are often cluttered with old trash should do things now setting up 500 gardens here instead the residents of this building set up their micro farm 3 months ago and now theyre ready to harvest for the 1st time that i mean its beautiful i wish everyone would do this and those who have the space should get involved and do this 2. Taps are unused here. Installing a rooftop garden cost the equivalent of 630. 00 euros but the families only have to pay around 20. 00 euros of that. 95 percent of the large scale project is being financed by a Swiss Foundation show defies any surplus produce and sells it in the egyptian capital with the help of other local n. G. O. S. Some mustapha installed the 1st rooftop garden 8 years ago since then hes put up over 200 of them. Up with her mind on this rooftop were working with 2 families. Its each one will receive to set ups thats 420. 00 plants in total but. Enough to. The staff im sure do explain to the families how often the plants need watering and which strains grow best. Plus rob look at our we were on projects where we planted seeds with young girls between 9 and piff teen. People of any age can learn how to use this hydroponic system. Its not complex or hard to maintain that well how we time and i have. The residents also learn how to get started by placing wicking strips in all the cups they feed water to the roots. Then seeds are added. Theyve chosen malaki are a plant whitely cultivated in egypt and lettuce. In a few months when the plants have grown to maturity the families can harvest twice a month. I mean were also beautifying our roof people looking out of the window or coming up here will see a lovely scene in the dedication of a few families will hopefully inspire others to follow the rooftop gardens are already helping cairo grow a little greener. Thats all from us today we want the show and we hope you enjoyed watching it it is a good bye for me. Here in kampala. And from me in now in lagos see you next week but in the meantime head over to our social media platforms our lets know what you think goodbye and see you again very soon. Im going. To. The boom.
