With visit a man in ethiopia who help to bring clean water to his community. We also look at ways that dick to good and bad for the environment. And looking and farmers whove discovered a look like growth raising still wants. To change the way we do many things like shopping for instance many wonder if it is still safe to do shopping busy Outdoor Markets or even on crowded streets that is partly why Online Shopping is common nowadays whether for clothes or groceries it is becoming boring these days also here in africa one company in zimbabwe for example delivers Fresh Produce and other items directly to your home now but helps cob the spread of the virus as well as reduce the amount of food wist. Zimbabwe may be in lockdown but there isnt much social distancing it had all this market. And it to our cut to Business Hours means a large portion of the produce cant be sold and its going to waste. Ended up working here we are risk of catching and spreading the virus but we have few options we need the money. With the business. In order to bring Fresh Produce directly to the customer who says he was founded to start up fresh in a box customers can order fruit and vegetables boxes on line and have no need to be at the crowded markets before the pinout make it team field about 120 orders a day now its more than 1000. And 15 u. S. Dollars for a standard vegetable box its still a bit of a luxury people having access to the internet now means that they can interact directly with us as farmers dont agree with us or vigilance and they can get the full dollar to their homes and we can assist in getting rid of the vast amount of projects that we have on all forms.

The story from zimbabwe is an example of one way addicted contribute to environmentalists and good health but growing reliance on powerful computers and data states is also having some negative impact on our ecosystems with a growing number of Internet Users expected any think any time anywhere dicta lies ations ecological footprint will place a grettir pressure on a Natural Systems lets take a look at a few funds. Online activity is soaring and gigantic 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 e. U. s Waste Industry produces each year. Together Cloud ComputerDigital Payment systems and online streaming require huge amounts of electricity. During the current 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 29000 alone 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 an ever increasing number of processes are being automated in sectors like many factoring and health care all that will require even more internet traffic in. The Energy Transition to renewables is also a Digital Transition 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 coup. 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 day get a solution in this era of mass produced goods you dont or is know exactly what you are buying a lot of course medics for example contain micro plastics but what can you do to avoid them. Well doing your bit looks at. The content of the products before they buy them. It can provide detailed information on about her to 1000000 different products maybe your sample is on. The shelves of shops and supermarkets are lined with products packaged in plastic but there are micro plastics hidden inside some products too especially cosmetics so how can consume and stay clear of products containing the tiny bits of plastic help is now at hand with an app called coaching a barcode scanner and reveals a complete list of a product contents as well as an overall rating of its eco friendliness. Rating in the culture based on experts like greenpeace w w f our friends of the earth also we have our own Scientific Team who writes products based on latest Scientific Research available since 2016 the swiss startup developed the erp in cooperation with the Environmental Group friends of the year. And in addition to cosmetics they can also be used to examine the ingredients in processed foods and cleaning products giving Health Conscious shoppers more confidence in their purchasing choices. 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. More on Digital Technology can be very useful in improving farming methods. You are young are gone almost in cote divoire has developed a way to deploy drones to make farming more efficient and also more environmentally 1 friendly his company has specialized in what it calls d for station agriculture lets go see that. 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 c. T. Over. The drone idea was launched via a local startup set up by a of a backup copy 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 that. You know that youre and i mean really. After sitting off the draw news is its come around to Digital Aerial mops these are entangling to a computer dont want the ground to detective abilities or other issues on plantations its part of a new i. T. Assisted form of farming called position agriculture. So. This. Means that we can use the technology to determine exactly where plants have been afflicted by a disease and instead of treating an entire person off land we can focus on the specific area actually affected. Thats also good for the environment fewer pesticides mean healthier soil on less pollution on plantations. From a farm. Began working 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. Which i will. Pass on africa 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 tend to young people back to farming as well pollution the way the 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 replies of course that we are fighting the 1st session a lot of farmers think they need to 20 and i thought in order to ensure a big car vest but we show them how they can get similar with 100. 00 or just 5000. 00 square metres a little later the 2nd drawn is ready to take to the skies it has almost 10 liters of liquid best to say the board which will be applied exactly where it is needed. Deploying drones also prevents damage to the plants roots from the heavy farming machines normally used. I think. With one drone you can spray 2 hecht is in under 12 minutes with conventional means youd need an entire day to cover one or 2 hectares. He now has a dozen strong team of punning stuff i dont 40 customers already using the farms little solution although attracting a clinton will wasnt easy at fast. The farming sector has been around for a long time when new technologies are introduced it takes a while for people to be convinced of the benefits with a cost of being a major fatah money timing from seed to harvest cost between food and 8. 00 housing news which for many families initially seems a big but to the startups clinton now extending 2000000 senate gun drawn should be touching down father a few to.

In the country and in countries where it is. Done isnt getting the production is in china. Japan. And in india it is. So if you let kenya and you continue to do. It in 96 is also used in the manufacture of skin products contact lenses soaps and woman organic products the National SorryCultural Research center is country offering from a subsidy plants and mary berry cuttings are very subsidized rates and with the help of International Investors theyre also working to transfer money and help them identify markets. They may think you know 100 he has a goal tom how did being just to see it because puerto ended after that. We study that lot of culture and. Sue so now we have High Technology and. Take culture but we cant use it because. Japan is a 2 developed and also the crime rate the crime rate in the kenya is much better than japan to take culture and by adopting to the changing climatic conditions small scale farmers 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 save Drinking Water one region particularly hard hit south africa their married people can only dream of having one award or anywhere near their home. And it is for that very reason that after many years abroad in geneva fick do return to his native ethiopia to stillwater tops in the Rural Communities in recognition of his own standing saugus he was awarded an International Prize on the obese 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. In the morning to be fashed water and then we will go again in the living and last year we started using the water guy its cleaner and its improved our 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 cargo a lake up 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 did problem with that region and then i left the country and i came to germany as a refugee as i was about to finish it. And it was a regime change in ethiopia and i told is it time to go home and to hear that 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 hemans but cattle too. We used to fetch water and i made 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 are going to a distant place to teach whatever they dont have much time to do their homework because they would not be in the school we sent or to get used to its not the place to fix whatever and it would be the abused by men and when it will fire forms at home another problem is locking 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 not about it but yeah but what about a. Plan when they dont. The water from the fields above will flow into trenches this will prevent soil of ocean and also produce drought. On mt and total close to address 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 for cardio 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 means you can produce a fast growing through from arthur i doubt there are globs pre about 30 up the street is draining much whatever 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.
