We have a technology that can reduce more than one people think of a tree cracking in uganda because with razor walk on it which a binding more than bonds more than a firewood bond if crane is the issue i think. The volcanic rocks can be used for about 2 years an average of comes in virus configurations including large commercial ones like this range at a market in the capital kampala where a 1000 people come to eat every day its also beneficial for the kooks who use it because the device generates almost no smoke estimates say smoke from traditional stoves contribute to the death of almost 20000. 00 people a year in uganda and used to have is also more efficient than conventional designs. But others. Can cook anything on the stove and save a lot of the stoves have really helped us because after building them here the Company Gives you the volcanic rocks. Well we have since given up using charcoal and only use charcoal dust which we used to light the rocks i now just spend a quarter of the money i used to spend on charcoal. What are you. Insult western uganda at the foot of mount bora it has provided new opportunities for Farming Families it has trained and employed a number of groups to extract their rocks which are later collected and taken to the company premisses.

To Pay School Fees for my children by them clothes and food life is much better now because people buy these rugs we used to grow crops in the stones got in the way of that but now were lucky enough to have someone pay for them. There is a large to volcanic world at the eco still factory the Company Builds up to 40 stoves a day around 17000. 00 have been sold so far each comes with a small bag of forks roast twentys big vice can be used in many we jews in countries if we want to get as many people to be coming to play new us to be able to make exactly what were doing in various parts of the country we dont want to on that issue again remains here uganda has a population of 14000090 percent chocolate so these are huge potential market for the told the benefits will also be huge and help to steward it for a station of the african continent. Will go from uganda to russia wait looks quite different from the victoria right behind me the eco system in left money in the autonomous russian republic of congo is under serious threat with its pelican numbers in recent years the poker numbers are reduced by 50 percent thats right sondra on whos to blame game where experts say our old friends Climate Change and pollution are wrecking the lakes delicate balance in who africa take stock of one of europes biggest public and reservations. In some of this shallow say line lake in southern russia as republic of color makiya attracts countless birds some of them have journeyed thousands of kilometers to get here and while there are dozens of different species its the pelican population that environmentalists are looking at most closely the birds have been coming to lake money for centuries but this year numbers are down. The population has fallen. Last year there were about 700 and this year there are only about 500. 00. Thats because there were a lot of cormorants among them last year and we dont have that many ponds now to provide enough fish. The lake itself is 344 square kilometers an area and has an average depth of just 0. 6 meters but the effect of Global Warming causing it to shrink as the water level goes down range. Explains some of the islands that pelicans nested on have become peninsulas attached to the shore. Managers becoming shallow in some places which means its accessible to predators and assoon as predators come into play the colonies gone. We have younger island right here and last year the pelicans used to nast this year the water is too shallow and fox is of turned up so the pelicans and cormorants are gone. The lake money to go to low wetlands are of vital importance to more than just pelicans theyre also a migration habitat for millions of geese and ducks. Twice a year large flock stop over to rest and refuel before moving on. But its the pelicans that are most affected by the dramatic changes in the lakes ecosystem. Come on my bus is food is becoming increasingly scarce habitats are deteriorating pollution is on the rise feeding even a few offspring they only lay a couple of eggs is becoming harder and harder. So the population is declining shes convinced. Its a question. For locals and tourists who come to love the pelicans its hope that something can be done before these graceful birds disappear for good. And now its a business weeks doing your bit its about construction means concrete and how to make its production more environmentally friendly its hard to imagine any Infrastructure Project anywhere in the World Without thinking about. German scientists and the african partners in nigeria trying to make concrete production more sustainable and. Reduce the suits remissions during the process and theyve made an outstanding discovery took a look. 6. Africas building sector is booming the continent uses as much concrete for construction as europe does but making the cement that binds it produces a lot of Carbon Dioxide up to 10 percent of the worlds c o 2 emissions. Scientists from germany and nigeria are studying alternatives theyre experimenting with remains of local plants such as kosov appeals that have been incinerated at certain temperatures. And are from the ash that we collect we develop cement like products they could be used in place of cement binder sold at local markets that would reduce the c o 2 footprint. Ash from rice hulls and other plant remnants are also showing promising results using plant based cement is an environmentally friendly alternative. Not only can an Endless Supply of organic waste be put to good use the sustainable eco concrete is also much cheaper to produce. It may even be more stable and durable than conventional concrete. The scientists hope to see the 1st Building Made from kosov a concrete constructed as early as next year on the university campus. And how about you if youre also doing your bit tell us about it.
