Every reporter a supposed to produce one story each month. Young people dont know what to do for you even if they do you cant take initiative because they think that they dont think the cat so the young reporters gives us an opportunity to do that because it makes more young people aware about the Environmental Issues that were currently facing and it makes them want to take initiative and join us so i think thats why its very important.

Climate strikes a good way to show governments the people want change but what else can we as individuals do to help reduce c o 2 emissions in Gemini People can take special evening classes to learn more about climate protection. Participants are able to develop their own plan of action in order to cut their carbon footprint. In terms of my ability that could mean driving and flying less. When it comes to heating and elektra city a little goes a long way just turning the heat down by one degree makes a difference as do small adjustments at meal times like cutting down on meat consumption. For also apparently we all ate less meat without having to give it up completely that would result in a huge reduction of c o 2 emissions that was helpful information. Just like the false was developed by Environmental Organizations and is now available in 36 german cities the workshop is spread over 6 evenings. And must come you know each of us can make a difference as one of our goals is to encourage the course of her to supplants to become eco ambassadors who not only make changes in their own lives but share information and encourage others to do the same.

Lagos nigeria is filmed to a number of illegal dump sites very weak spots for many local people the refuse is a vital link. Of the taking of poets t. V. s computers and other devices by hand they resell the components as rule materials its extremely hazardous work with and water and ground severely polluted by heavy metals and toxic chemicals some Electronic Devices come from developed countries in the form of the nations unfortunately only a fraction of food and functional the rest is affectively trash a company in lagos has come up with an alternative solution for handling waste its called eat tara and was founded by if fine or tunnel. Generates 1000000 tons on it where its talk less of what it allows importation into other countries the difference between our treatment and the informal harmless if 100 dont have the knowledge they dont have the truth all the machinery to safely to copy and dismantle the.

Business has been going well for the company so well that the c. E. O. Plans to expand operations in the near future and hes happy that the items he recycles will not end up on the legal dont sites like this one. Carbon dioxide is a major contributor to Global Warming but did you know the gas can be a valuable resource scientists have developed ways to capture c o 2 from power plants and factories that would otherwise escape into the air and theyre putting it to good use for example to boost plant growth in greenhouses we had to the netherlands to meet some goddess who are welcoming the initiative. Glasses far as the eye can see. This is a ruse Breeding Company in the netherlands. C o 2 is pumped into these 2 huge greenhouses to help the flowers grow better. The head of the Family Business says the investment is paid off. To look almost through the leaves and when the leaves are dark and dark green then we know the leaves are brown. And when we look to the flower we always look at the size the cost how big are the size whether the selling the business has to work very efficiently with hightech heating and cooling systems automatic irrigation and fertilization. But whats really special is the c o 2 ventilation equipment. The c o 2 is coming out of this pipe over here. And. Under pressure and out of the bible succumbing to seal through. The air inside is enrich. Carbon dioxide c o 2 eighths photosynthesis and spares plant growth the Company Harvest 8000 roses a day. The gases brought in virus subterranean pipeline from rotterdam. Now and again the supply of cools by. Bloomberg has 600 greenhouses on his books. The crops fetch the cut flowers growing greenhouses they used to get a better product traditionally used to fuel gases from gas burning. Stop using the natural gas and create even better products. The Carbon Dioxide comes from the port of rotterdam from one of the Worlds LargestOil Refineries 400000 barrels of oil a process to each day and hundreds of thousands of tons of c o 2 generated each year as a byproduct. Ok app or organic c o 2 for assimilation by plants we use is some of that. The company has a plant in the dutch poort and supplies half a 1000000 tons of c o 2 to greenhouses so do the suits or its coming from up from the shell or refinery 3 its transported to our facility fired he said this pipeline. In the past the greenhouses had to produce the Carbon Dioxide themselves by burning natural gas. The use of recycled c o 2 means that they say for huge amount of the fossil fuel the greenhouses are the one who benefits maybe even the most they can replace the use of environment polluting natural gas by taking chute too from industry so they are saving the environment saving a little bit. And they can use on top of dead more c o 2 to grow even better tomatoes and better the flowers. The roots grow is no longer need a combustion plant to produce c o 2. That means they can concentrate more on that cool business. My family started 40 years ago and we start that theyve been a Small Company and me grow a big big guy and now we could use in one year about 40000000 stems. The companys booming thanks to Carbon Dioxide commercial greenhouse gardens realized this problem of gas can also be a valuable resource. Now what a great idea to reuse you its you i keep it out of the atmosphere well heres another one this time from san diego an invasive weed has been spreading fast and in chaos there but some farmers are found a way to turn this past into an assett.

It is an injustice that you have 1300000000 people in the world who have to still burn kerosene for lighting when the light bulb was invented more than 100 years ago this doesnt make sense and we set a goal of getting 100000000 people off kerosene by 2020 and weve actually achieve that goal as of january 2020.
