A big which are you know going state nigeria and i greet my colleagues sound on my i v other end of the continent hello show. Helen military and the world will come to our viewers thank you for tuning into todays program. And the European Environmental show my name is sharon a minute from Nairobi Kenya and heres whats coming up in the show today. Well be visiting the popular leaving and Shopping Complex being they will be introduced a summer hybrid power system. Then we move on to the german city of hama whether trying to even make coffee to go cups and that we need to register make it from coming through the environmental activist was cruising Public Awareness about plastic and just like. My footprints right here in my role be actually not very far from where im standing that im fifty is an integrated residential and retail im a business complex if im to be and i mentally for me its my stylist is the one of the biggest in africa whats more Building Materials have been remarkably sourced as much as possible. Even when shes making her tea at the site of the item when it is already surviving the benefits water cost thirty percent less than it used to thats quite a savings when any has been living in garden city in the north of the king of capital nairobi since late last year its an expensive area of town here a new development is designed to protect the environment and save its residents money this solar energy comes from the roof of a neighboring multistory car park when we have a nice bright beat its all the water in the apartment i won we have an awkward casti is when the heater element kicks in and we get hot water that way but were in generally were not using the element right now the sun hits or what it meant the garden city is a model green project both in terms of it contraction. And its wister disposal system. Whatever trash is thrown away over the course of a day ends up next door in the garden city Shopping Center. Its where the more affluent locals go to shop. At the centers manager says its one of kenyas most environmentally friendly buildings. Plastic cups straws packaging waste food from the restaurant all of it lands in the basement of the Shopping Center. The trash is sorted by hand. Cardboard and cutters go in paper bags in the organic west bin cans with metal pit bottles to the plastic its a lot of work. To be lining. Up for miles. Materials doctors to help but well continue to do them in getting them. Ditto. Probably in the next one year you know. I talked to tom warden of sorting out the show. Here on the roof of the packing coverage there is a sinister mission with far more than three thousand solar panels the installation is one of the largest in africa it generates the electricity for the Shopping Center and the jets and apartment buildings and it gives the cars and i should be pleased to pack a huge installations like this one havent had the benefit. Cost of the solar panels will drastically reduce regret at the mine and receive a far greater accessibility to each and every individual will now be able to afford and will be able to power their homes using the Natural Energy that we do have. The rooftop solar units and still areas are taking up most of the funding for this one came from investors from highly industrialized countries. And thats why the financial profits dont remain in kenya. Who are investors from america and stray. And the u. K. And i think it would be exciting for us to be able to raise capital for us all the funding for other investments that we do more often internally within africa but the reality is the stores of capital enormous in the developed world and bringing capital in from outside will remain a large part of what we do. Back to they select out parking lot. Soon every solar packing sport is to be equipped with a charging station for electric cars. The and to me of that was enough for. Charging stations will help make electron mobility possibly in kenya but they need to introduce behavior traffic that need the money and are best get caught in only. Through the streets of nairobi. And this hectic times so many people have a drink on the run in the train or even in the car coffee to go is big business in many countries and that means mountains all discarded plastic and paper cups about we. Just in germany the city of hama has devised a plan to counter this terrible waste and vironment openness and bakeries and other outlets now cause it to grow in a robust or usable cups for which you have to pay a deposit you get it back when he returned the cup was a simple and we hope effective idea. Street sweepers in hanover have had enough of disposable cups with all too many pedestrians simply dumping them on the street as soon as they finished their coffee the explosion of coffee take away outlets in recent years has unleashed a steadily growing flood of extra trash and pick ups take up a huge amount of space in trash cans it only takes four or five large ones to fill up an entire sack. Of letters and in all the number of cups we get nowadays is just huge you know every kiosk every cafe sells them its causing enormous problems here in hanover. On average hanovers half a million plus residents jettisoned over twenty million used paper cups annually the city authorities decided that was far too many and began fighting the deluge a year ago. The builds the cardboard on the surface but inside theyre lined with plastic and as they can lie around for hundreds of years we have to collect every single one for incineration. So its not a good product not in the least ecological. Its time to get rid of them. The citys answer was to market its own reuse of all cops with a deposit the hanno cino it costs two euros which is refunded when customers drop it off at one of the participating cafes over one hundred fifty outlets are already taking part in the plan and the network is growing by the week. The system is the brainchild of under the hammer even he surprised at how easy its been to win businesses over first of all he got local bakeries on board then the citys First Division soccer team others were quick to join in. Other than a few hundred makes life very easy for our partners we do the advertising we supply the cups talked with them train their staff. Thats why the hundred chinos caught on and people like to use the cups because its straightforward and theyre doing something for the environment. Its certainly an easy solution for a coffee drinkers they normally dont have to go far to find somewhere to drop their cups off pick up pop off drink up drop off the city doesnt make a cent from the scheme for cafe operators the service is free and they save on the cost of paper cups. Its good for their image to. The only condition is that participants have a dishwasher to keep the cups clean and hygenic that was no problem for the staff of this particular cafe theyre happy about every customer who switches to that had a chino. A lot and it took a bit of time to familiarize people with one hundred chino. But once theyve actually used one and seen how clean and easy to handle they are they make the switch quite happily. Its also down to the design which is made the cups. Brand name. And theres even an to show people where to find and i dont but. There are no fifty thousand candle chinos in use across the city. The street cleaning squads now have far fewer paper cups to deal with and the trash cans dont fill up as fast either saves money. You really see the difference its made here with loads of businesses joining in there are far fewer cuts in the trashcans now. A national estimate suggests the new head coach in no system has cut the number of paper cups and hand over by around a third. It to be in thing to see if that catches on and even spreads to other cities. Interesting project which recycles and pop cycles Plastic Waste in uganda the country has been suffering from persistent drought which has and then said the food supply their farmers need to use the little what about they have various paring lee and now they have found the right smelter yes shot in this weeks doing your bit system we need job its a model farm in the couple of come paula who was devised a clever system of drip irrigation hes certainly doing his bit to combat Plastic Waste and to promote sustainable farming. How can Plastic Waste help grow food. This looks like a dumping ground for plastic trash. But its actually crude material for every case and technology. You can get from a job you sarah low has created a system that combines recycling plastic and saving water. All it required was one great idea. And a little hole in a plastic bottle. Thanks to the drip irrigation system. Tomatoes have survived a month of drought. Healthy despite the scorching sun. The farmer expects a harvest in two months which he can sell on the local market. Just the simple bottle irrigation method helps ensure Food Security and to protect the environment. Like that. If you are also doing. Visit our website. Share your story was wow its amazing what great ideas people come on with another eco who we want to introduce to you regina. She lives in port city in cameron she is an environmental journalist and shes involved with a Nongovernmental Organization called sustainable one for the bottom and it promotes inclusive and Sustainable Development initiatives and that means getting ordinary people involved with you know has inspired many to think more about the environment and to take better care of it so what did we do when to find out how she does. These women are out to make a difference environmentalist regime and her team of volunteers are collecting plastic bottles from this home into. Her sheena is the founder of recycle me an organization dedicated to cleaning up the city. I sowed in my own its all we know. Starts in from my home. To cities to turkey theres trash everywhere its a good thing shes doing something about it and on her own initiative. Is camerons most populated city the areas more than three million inhabitants produce a huge amount of Household Waste every day. A private company contracted to collect the citys garbage actually only removes about two thirds of it. The rest remains scattered throughout the city. Regime elect they also use the media to combat the waste problem on camerons second largest t. V. Network she hosts a Weekly Program on environmental issues. The twenty nine year old uses this platform to report on the poor Waste Management situation in the west african country. Sometimes this yields results when i reply. You know i was moved to. The south. But plastic continues to clog up the citys gutters. This is a serious problem especially when the rainy season starts in march blocked waterways can cause Property Damage and even deaths. Which means that when those so much. And this what i was. And some of this plastics also when they get. It becomes a threat. So while others look the other way regina continues to focus on dealing with the problem she even invests or own money for instance renting vehicles like this to deliver the plastic directly to or a cycle or. But the site is already overflowing that means the regime has organization doesnt earn anything for the effort shes just happy to get the clutter off the streets and put to better use. Here the old plastic is cleaned and shredded. The raw material is then repurposed for instance into useful buckets now regime is looking to expand her operation. I really intend to extend to many towns in cameroon to collect as many plastic bottles huddled up plastic items for recycling reuse i mean what i saw going to force a serious threat to the environmentalists. She started small collecting plastic from friends and colleagues. Now she has eight volunteers to cover some three hundred households and offices in douala follows on zanzibar tanzania is a famous spice island have been producing our marty clubs without pesticides or chemical fertilizers for generations long before europe and north america fell in love with organic produce some saw great opportunity in that love and got satisfied as organic as lets see what kind of impact that is having on the industry. In zanzibar you find almost all the spices in the world other times when one will get rich from entirely spices are long gone a man and one who are going to give me loads more you before all the farmers in the area depended on tourists if no one visited the farm it was difficult to survive and a lot of them had to give up and look for other work spys farmer patrick my gran got together with his neighbor managed to conquer a new market. Amongst us by farmers of zanzibar his considered an expert and all the others come to him to buy new seedlings. But i think its because i exclusively use calderon and selected plants very carefully and. With thirty other spice farmers my ganga founded the cooperative since then the farmers share everything to strand and the local knowledge together the found a way to expand. Cloves are now grown on a large scale. My gangas neighbor and the food explains how this help them succeed. We decided to be Certified Organic and what we sell to. Our custom of as organic the price is increase from fifteen to twenty thousand and two shillings the cooperative is a Young Company based in stone town it looks for gannett products from the island with bio labels designed spice all functions are handpicked and then shipped to europe. To sell this piece with the close cooperation with the farm. Nowadays or their market and they have exit please and all they can sell their stuff for solving the productions need to be to high and blast yeah it was a bottle of five hundred sending of the called memory plants in seoul probably after two years and then started to harvest five hundred new plants. Patrick my ganga has been able to build a new house with the additional income his wife is equally pleased with him. An image is not very proud of him life is much easier than before and the family gets everything it needs. Real well to save you a little more and more people who have seen how successful we are but the organization now come here when i mean. You know its the only way to make good money around here in this. Group support the bulk of. His oldest son now has his own small family from the profits from the next harvest i got you know once to build them a house. That two countries on Africas Atlantic course that ive never really been on met a lot of as a raider but mean and total and for a long time both countries have failed to convince their people on the need to preserve the lands biodiversity right especially in the region around the river this river forms the border between the two small nations and its delta is a rich tapestry of mangrove forests wetlands and savanna its also a refuge for rare species such as the manatee and red bellied monkeys lets take a look at what ben and total are doing to protect this natural paradise. Sylviane davo works for an Environmental Organization hed like to see fishing in this part of the river delta bad and so the fish have a chance to spawn thirty four points on your deck you know what were proposing a ban on fishing for one kilometer around the river delta so the fish will be able to pass back and forth between the mono river and the sink. Where seeking a consensus amongst the fishermen. Always say you do it for now cause this is. The beach and the dns beyond that our natural paradise and home to sea turtles theyve been successfully protected in both bennett and tokyo for years this is where the Biosphere Reserve is due to begin in the future. We want to see how the more the delta Biosphere Reserve is progress and then and talk to narrow countries together that over one hundred kilometers wide theyre separated by the mono river the Biosphere Reserve consists of separate settlements the Coastal Protection area begins right behind the beach. Its a unique biotope here where the monterey the meets the sea the mangroves begin at the mouth of the river shows us the inland waterways behind it. His organization is helping to protect the mangrove forests theyve planted forty five new hat is and marked off spawning grounds for the fish with local residents. We continue in the and too late to haul. Here patrice is support in the future. His environmental denies ation is planned in a nature reserve for flora and fauna on the river banks. Has already won the fisherman and hunters over so theyll respect the areas where fishing and hunting are prohibited. Its a natural paradise with protected marsh areas and recipe shes of plants and wildlife but how important is it to the hunters here to preserve the environment ive known only we used to sell the game or eat it ourselves but weve stopped doing that we want our children to see the water animals in the future with their own eyes focus on darien rock regulars you look up at your local residents are burning down trees to clear land for farming. They fly to our last stop the forests of good to me in tokyo. To the people in this area the forest is sacrosanct. They head out into the woods following their priests and the procession they believe accounts of the forest can shield them from sickness and protect them from evil the priests of always kept a close watch on the forest. But now they have the support of a local environmental group. They look to the forest some areas and set up a patrol. To run i dont quiet but give it a greater stretch to the forest are clearing and farming. But i will move out of there as well but. Theyre working together to fight poaching forest burning and timber thieves.
