Online activity is soaring and dry can take server farms are using more and more electricity digitalization is leaving a huge environmental footprint. Today its already responsible for 3 to 4 percent of Global Carbon dioxide emissions. Thats more than all the emus Waste Industry produces each year. Together Cloud ComputingDigital Payment systems and online streaming require huge amounts of electricity. During the covered 19 pandemic millions of children and young people were affected by School Closures many of them had to take classes as well as socialize online. Now over 50 percent of the worlds population has access to the internet in 2911 the number of Internet Users group by 7 percent. If this trend continues digitalization will account for almost 8 percent of c o 2 emissions by 2025. On the cusp of the 4th Industrial Revolution and ever increasing number of processes are being automated in sectors like manufacturing and health care all of that will require even more internet traffic in. The Energy Transition to renewables is also a Digital Transition and green Tech Startups are working on Energy EfficientDigital Infrastructure to make production processes and Energy Consumption more sustainable. Digital data helps us better understand Climate Change and other environmental impacts on our ecosystems. Intelligent Traffic Management not only reduces the amount of harmful pollutants on the streets but can help to prevent gridlock Digital Technology could. Reduce global c o 2 emissions by 20 percent. Digitalization can be green but we need to get more of our power from sustainable sources to prevent Digital Technology from further increasing harmful emissions. And not to another Digital Solution in this era of mass produced goods you dont already know exactly what you are buying a lot of course medics for example contain micro plastics but what can you do to avoid them.

And how about you if youre also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website or send us a tweet. As tag doing your bit. We share your stories. Modern Digital Technology can be very useful in improving farming methods to our young agronomist in could develop has developed a will to deploy drones to make farming more efficient and also more environmentally 1 friendly his company has specialized in what it calls busy for a cessation agriculture lets go see this. These tomato plantation is morny todd not by far one cause but they are drawn over an area the size of a small football pitch east told me born in port city obama vision of. The draw idea was launched by a local startup set up by. He wants to use the new Surveillance Technology to make traditional farming more productive and more sustainable. Unfasten by example lets say a plot of land has an irrigation problem on one of its 5 fact thats something you cant make out with your own eyes but a drone can identify the area in question and that makes it easier to resolve the problem and at the same time increase your year when youre not sure and i mean really a lot after sitting off the draw news is its coming read to create Digital Aerial mops these are entangling to a computer done on the ground to detect to larry to use or other issues on plantations its part of a new i. T. Assisted form of farming called position agriculture its everything you say is visited it means that we can use the technology to determine exactly where plants have been afflicted by a disease and instead of treating an entire part of a flower and we can focus on the specific area actually affected. My theory on using his urine sure for sure. Thats also good for the environment fewer pesticides mean healthier soil unless pollution on plantations. From a fungus and what began walking together with the startup about a year ago in addition to the environmental aspect he also sees another crucial advantage for his countrys agricultural industry. Then. We have a lot of land and a lot of options for expanding off our land but its physically demanding market and very tricky to implement which has put a lot of people off farming but this technology is extremely efficient and it can also turn to young people back to farming. And provide. Much of the deforestation is done to provide space for huge new plantations ivory cost is the biggest cocoa producer in africa according to figures from the wild bank over the last half a century ivory cost has lost around 80 percent of its forests. Or it buys of course we are fighting deforestation a lot of farmers think they need to 20 i thought in order to ensure a big have a start but we showed them how they can get similar with one head or just 5000 square metres a little later the 2nd drone is ready to take to the skies it has almost 10 liters of liquid best to say than void which will be a play big zaki where it is needed. Deploying drones also prevents damage to the plants roots from the heavy farming machines normally used.

In form of corns we shall subject it to post how this thing processes that includes the flow shown of the coke and you know removing their pupae inside so that we use the many part of it for producing that thread today you dont know we know owns our own 500000 margaret trees planted over 5 because. Many of the farmers in the region are following his example.

We may see. 100 he has a goal come had to been just to see who could export and after that. We study that lot of say culture and. Sue so now we have High Technology and. Take culture but cant use it because. Its too developed and also the crime it the crime its in the kenya is much better than japan to take culture and by adopting to the changing climatic conditions small scale firmest like you to know we know how found a way of sustaining their livelihoods. According to the World Health Organization about 2200000000 people around the world dont have access to Safe Drinking Water one region particularly hard hit africa where married people can only dream of having one awards or anywhere near their home and it is for that very reason that after many years abroad engine if ecod do unlike a return to his native ethiopia to still want to talk in the Rural Communities in recognition of his own taunting saugus he was awarded an International Prize on the base year. Like many people in rural ethiopia this mother of 7 doesnt have a water tap in her home until recently she and her family had to fetch their water from far away but now a water tap has been installed on a field just one minute away from where they live. And in the morning to be fashed water and then we were going to get in the evening and last year we started using the water nearby its cleaner and its improved our overall hygiene. In this region 250 kilometers west of ethiopias capital addis ababa 1000 new water points have been installed. They provide locals with access to a reliable supply of clean water. The project was initiated by mechanical engineer for a car to a lake. He spent 16 years in germany as a political refugee but returned to ethiopia to contribute to his countrys development and Nature Conservation efforts. I was awarded in the Political Activities also 970 s. I had a problem with every jew and then i leave the country and i came through germany as if you just as i was about to finish it as a jew question it was a regime change in ethiopia and i told is it time to go home and to relive the people because. People i mean. Its a country and nobody would help as a country there are now fewer cases of worms and bacterial infections thanks to the new system it benefits not only be humans but cattle too. We used to fetch water and then lot and we had many problems now water is accessible close to our home and we have regained our health and the health of our children to. Meet the burden of fetching water is often carried by children and particularly girls this girl does it about 3 times every day reducing the walking distances to water points improves the lives of children in many ways if children going to a distant place to teach whatever they dont have much time to do their homework is and would not be in the school we sent or to get used to its not the place to teach whatever and it would be he abused by men and when it will fire forms at home another problem is logging trees a file for firewood or to make way for new fields the deforestation is a cause for concern you see. On the mountains there was a forest before the youth. With no trees to secure the soil it washes away with the seasonal rains this phenomenon called erosion stops the water from being kept in the ground. To tackle the threat of the russian the government has the villages dig trenches in the fields never got it but not much but what it. Can only. Plant when they want. The lottery from the fields above will flow into trenches this will prevent soil of motion and also produce drought. On mt and total close to add is that terracing technique has already borne fruit that i can remember this Natural Spring was 1st discovered by clergymen working for emperor mentally in the late 19th century it was rehabilitated by fatah to a lakers team and now provides more water than ever. We still have to stand in line but the amount of water has increased a lot before the water wasnt clean and wild animals cattle and humans are all using it together. These young indigenous trees were also planted by the community during the last rainy season in part to counter the adverse effects of the eucalyptus tree which flourishes here i mean we can produce a fast growing through from arthur i doubt there are globs pre by picking up the street is draining much water from the ground whatever we have submitted an application to remove this one and replace it by indigenous trees so we kind of more with that. Even if drought and deforestation continue to hamper access to water in rural areas. Has managed to improve the water supply for more than 55000 people in ethiopia.
