Challenging the government to take intervention in this matter i make people. All over the net at least in the actions of the nation. To decrease any order against us and it doesnt want to. Ever report i suppose to produce one story each month. Young people dont know what to do for you even if they do believe 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. John outboards a tough school because her parents leave find a way in the countryside for dina the students gather in the big hole to do their homework john is making progress with 100 story she does that put you on top of her regular school work but john i doesnt mind.

Young people are realising that there was a very dumb its the walls and theres the adults get serious about dealing with the Climate Crisis all over the world they are demanding action but they are not the only ones or the people want to get involved in germany and mental going to a barking evening classes for the public on Climate Change and things ordinary people like you and i can do to make. Difference. 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 electricity 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 if 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. Posts on the cross was developed by environmental organizations and is now available in 36 german cities the workshop is spread over 6 evenings. Must come you know each of us can make a difference as one of our goals is to encourage the course all participants to become eco ambassadors who not only make changes in their own lives but share information and encourage others to do the same.

And how about you if youre also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website or send us a tweet. Doing your bit. We share your stories. Well. Do you do sound i think for climate a certificate especially when it comes to electronic waste what do you do when youre done with your computer or your mobile phone there are reports that africa has become a dumping ground for most of the new west so what is being done in africa to change that a young nigerian has decided he doesnt want that anymore and he started doing something about. Lagos nigeria is him to a number of illegal dump sites very waste farming local people the refuse is a vital source of income of the taking of poets t. V. s computers and other devices by hands they resell the components as Raw Materials its extremely hazardous work with 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 functional the rest is affectively trash a company in lagos has come up with an alternative solution for handling the waste its called eat terra and was founded by each line or tunnel. Generates 1000000 tons of arsenic waste talk less of what it allows importation into other countries the difference between our treatment and the informal harmless if i want to live dont have the knowledge i dont have the tools all the machinery to safely take off and dismantle. The device. The terror collects discarded devices like laptops speakers and mobile phones which are then checked over at the companys Material Recovery for 30 those parts that can still be used restored and mostly donate to this charity the rest is dismantle the terror. Has invested in the range of machinery it allows the workers to dismount who wastes in a way that is safe for the environment and for themselves and exhaust hood is used to contain the toxic feed. You bring up you can have so many Customer Journey materials that are trapped or sucked out and trapped. Inside inside the machine so its effectively detoxified while we dismantle all of the glass all of the. Plastic. After being dismantled the waste is separated and shredded. Theyre all material salvaged such as aluminum glass and i and other Companies Main source of income. 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 gun 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 of developed ways to capture c o 2 from power plants and factories that would otherwise escape into the air and they are putting it to good use for example to boost plant growth in greenhouses we had to the netherlands to meet some gardeners who are welcoming the initiative. Glass as 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. The local wash through the leaves and when the leaves are dark and dark green then we know the leaves are. 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. Coming out of this pipe over here. The bible says. The air inside is in rich with Carbon Dioxide c o 2 eighths photosynthesis and spurs 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 balls cut flowers growing greenhouses they used to get a better product traditionally they used to fuel gases from gas burning. Stop using an eco 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 does the suit or its coming from or 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 save a shooter amount of the fossil fuel greenhouses are the one who benefits maybe even the most they can replace the use of environment polluting natural gas by taking shoot to from industry so they are saving the environment and saving a little bit. And they can use on top of that more c o 2 to grow even better tomatoes and better at 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 we grow a big big guy and now we produce in one year about 40000000 stems. The companys booming thanks to Carbon Dioxide commercial greenhouse gardens realized this problem gas can also be a valuable resource. Now what a great idea to reduce c o 2 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 have found a way to turn this pests into an assett. For this senegalese pharma clarin out weeds has become a lifeline. To toss a plant in order to provide his village with a precious commodity few.

Rule people can take this new since plant into their own hands and build a future with it.

In the world and weve all got a century in a just to subsidize many homes in africa need in the hope all of the solutions daylight is a blob of social enterprise that makes a product that all changing lives in kenya mystic on the. Radio. Charging station. These are all now Standard Features in favor korea means home to many other households in the area still rely on kerosene lamps which are dangerous and on healthy. Favor karim regenerates or electricity from solar panels she is a small home grid. She had the panels installed after seeing some on a neighbors house connection. Its a big change before we were paying 55. 00 shillings a day for electricity wed have power for a while and then it would be cut off but with a solar panel thats when we bought a 55 shillings days on t. V. But even so we have enough light to get the children ready all morning its on all the time. Creamy and her husband are paying for the Solar Energy System in installments every month they use a mobile phone to transfer of the equivalent of 15 euros in 8 months it will be paid off. Although more than 70 percent of kenyans have access to electricity in semi rural areas like here and good job though only 40 percent do.

The lights kenyan offices are located in nairobi cofounder net chosen has come from the u. S. To discuss future strategies for africa the social entrepreneur is now focusing on helping people who have recently lost access to energy sources. 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 technologies like mobile banking have made it easy for d. Like to a stoppage itself in kenya its the worlds 2nd biggest market for solar energy after india. Chosen and his colleagues are now hoping to expand into other markets in africa. Were seeing a real change in awareness in general in the Public Sector with governments around what distributed solar energy can do and how if were going to provide universal Energy Access solar is going to be a critical part of that equation. Favor karim a small solar grid means that she no longer has to buy electricity tokens on her children have enough like to see one theyre drawing the Clean Energy Source even power as a security lies in her front yard it helps deter thieves up nice. In the evenings we leave the outside light on and all our things are say even if we leave the washing outside because when the lights on people cant tell if were at home or not. Access to solar power has made her familys life a lot easier and unlike other sources the suns energy will always be there.
